Not long after the start of the competition, Zhao Yaning found himself in an unprecedented hard battle.

Although it was a friendly match, Arsenal's defense was not very tight, but Zhao Yaning still found that the tacit defense composed of Vieira and Ashley Cole made him play very awkwardly.

The ball passed from the backcourt to Zhao Yaning's feet, Zhao Yaning calmly took the ball, turned around, and faced Ashley Cole head-on. Because it was near the midfield line, Ashley Kerr was not too pressing, giving Zhao Yaning a lot of space to hold the ball, but even so, Zhao Yaning didn't know what to do.

Cole and Vieira are well stuck in two positions, and Zhao Yaning has a hard time choosing the line whether he is down or inside. Looking up at the front, Arsenal's back line is pressed very low, Roundup does not have many opportunities, although Zhao Yaning has the opportunity to deal with it calmly, but there is not much to do.

Kicking the ball back to Zikos in the middle? It's a good choice, but I always feel a little uncomfortable. Anyway, it's a friendly match, why don't you try to break through on your own?

Pushing the ball forward, Zhao Yaning raised his right leg and made a long pass to the front. Cole pounced, Zhao Yaning took advantage of the situation to close his leg, pushed the ball forward with the outside of his right instep, and quickly dodged Cole behind him.

Had a very clean time. Zhao Yaning was still thinking about it when he caught up with the ball. And Vieira, who was in the middle, didn't come over, just stood in the middle to prevent him from cutting inside. Although Cole was passed, he immediately turned around and chased after him from behind, although there was still a step between him and Zhao Yaning, but as long as Zhao Yaning stopped passing, he would be able to catch up with the block.

This kind of defense is indeed incomparable to the lower leagues.

But this doesn't mean that Zhao Yaning has no choice. He slowed down slightly, allowing Cole to move closer. Then, he suddenly stopped suddenly, Cole immediately came to his side, stuck to his body, and did not give him any chance to get up, but Zhao Yaning leaned on Cole with his left shoulder, and pulled the ball away with his right foot, and then, with his right foot as the axis, he quickly pulled the ball with the arch of his left foot and completed a turning action.

Turning sideways to complete a dribble was part of the small range of dribbles that Petit asked of him when he arrived in Monaco.

Very good. Cole saw his movements, but the Marseille slalom variant was so good that he couldn't get his hands on the ball. But the moment he turned around, Cole suddenly hit him with force, making Zhao Yaning's body crooked, although the action was still completed, but he didn't have the ability to continue to make the next breakthrough, so he could only give the ball to Jiuli in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Gyuli dodged Gilberto's pressing and whistled out of the door.

Neither the timing nor the position of the shè gate was very good, and Seaman easily saved the ball off the line.

Zhao Yaning looked at Cole beside him, Cole smiled at him, looking innocent. But the impact just now made Zhao Yaning feel a little uncomfortable - it is easy to hurt people when he turns around with one foot support, is this guy deliberate, or is English football so barbaric?

However, Zhao Yaning also understood what the other party was thinking: as an offensive fullback, no matter how strong his ability to go up and down is, he is definitely not as stable as a defensive fullback. Therefore, Ashley Cole tried to use such a ferocious move to scare Zhao Yaning and make him dare not come harder, so that his defense would be easier.

It's just that after experiencing the confrontation with Carlos in the World Cup, Zhao Yaning doesn't care about his small tricks anymore.

The state of the game has always been a stalemate. Although Arsenal is stronger, because Gilberto is a newcomer to the team after all, replacing Parlour's position, his run-in with the team is not enough, so Arsenal is also looking for a run-in and has not shown their outstanding attacking power.

Monaco, on the other hand, have repeatedly tried to attack because they are playing at home, but the midfield defense of Patrick Vieira and Gilberto, as well as the old and spicy backs of Keown and Campbell, have made their attack not smooth.

The ball soon fell to Zhao Yaning's feet again: although Monaco had a long ball like Roten, Campbell's height and weight gave him too much of an advantage in the race for headers. Although Arsenal's middle lacks running-in, Gyuli himself is not a player known for breakthroughs, not to mention facing Vieira and Gilberto, his intentions are always very accurately predicted by the opponent, and it is difficult to make a difference. In contrast, it was Zhao Yaning's right side that was relatively easy: the success rate of the side breakthrough was already greater, and Cole seemed to put more thought into attacking forward in the game.

After getting the ball this time, Zhao Yaning no longer hesitated as he did just now. He found that he didn't have a good match with the team now, so he did it alone according to his old habits.

Take the ball, accelerate, change direction. Zhao Yaning shook off Cole in one step and ran forward. But Cole didn't get rid of him this time, but immediately stuck to him. Cole's pulling of Zhao Yaning's jersey slowed down Zhao Yaning's speed, and Vieira faced him with a flying tackle.

Faced with this kick, Zhao Yaning had no choice but to jump up and avoid it in embarrassment. But this time, the ball at his feet was also lost, and Kerr easily got the ball and passed it. But Zhao Yaning was knocked over by Vieira, the referee's whistle sounded, and Vieira fouled.

It wasn't clean enough - it was a frontal tackle, but it was clearly aimed at the ankle. Although Zhao Yaning hid in time, he was still rubbed on his calf, which made Zhao Yaning look at Vieira angrily, but Vieira just gave him a cold look: he has always played football like this, although the action is not clean, but there are few who are really injured, and when he plays, he still relies on that fierce and domineering momentum to scare people. Zhao Yaning was obviously frightened by him just now. This kind of wide-open defensive action looks extremely dangerous, and the attacking players always want to dodge when they see it. But it was this fear of injury that made the action deformed, and naturally lost the ball.

"Don't be afraid of him, boy." When Zikos fouled, Gyuli, who was not far away, ran over, "He's just a second-rate midfielder, and he knows that the foul is a waste." ”

Juli's words made Vieira turn his head, but Juli's eyes widened without giving an inch, and the two of them glared angrily for a while, but Vieira got out of the way first: he had already scared Zhao Yaning, and it was enough. Jiuli's old ball skin is not so easily intimidated. It's Monaco's home stadium after all, and Vieira isn't going to get mad at a few nonsense and juli.

And what Gyuli said is also a view that Ligue 1 has always had: although Vieira is considered the best midfielder in the world, his defensive position is not considered top-notch, and most of the time he wins by ferocious pressing.

As for Vieira's attacking power as a central midfielder, that's another story.

"If he's making such a big move, give him a fall." Jiuli quietly added, "That guy is a professional card eater, if you pretend to be in pain, the referee will definitely give him cards." ”

Zhao Yaning was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Jiuli had just used his momentum to regain face, which made Zhao Yaning feel a lot tougher, so he gave him this kind of bad idea. This kind of thing is not like something that the old players of the club should hand over to the new players.

Zhao Yaning just arrived in Monaco, but he didn't want to leave an impression of a fake fall in Ligue 1 right away. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that he should play tougher, be fearless like Jiuli, and not fake a fall.

When he got the ball again, he didn't say a word, and directly moved sideways and killed him in the middle.

Cole quickly blocked his path to the middle lane and drove him towards the middle. But after playing a few back and forth with Zhao Yaning, he also knew that Zhao Yaning's explosiveness was better than him, and he still left the task of grabbing to Vieira.

Vieira also greeted him without hesitation, although he did not directly shovel, but his movements were still very large, relying on his height and size, he rushed directly to seal Zhao Yaning's front closely, limiting Zhao Yaning's activity space to a minimum.

However, Zhao Yaning pulled the ball at his feet, dodged a distance, and then nudged and pushed the ball under Vieira's crotch.

was teased by someone with a crotch, and Vieira reacted immediately. But what he can do is to turn his body and try to jam the most powerful breakthrough position, so that Zhao Yaning can catch up with the ball more slowly. But he still underestimated Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning stepped across, and then kicked the ground with mana, catching up with the ball almost instantly.

It's still not enough, and if it does, Gilberto can intercept the ball.

But now he can't think about it anymore, catching up with Zhao Yaning is the most important thing.

Neither of the two defenders pressed by Assen was fast defenders, and they were also very far back in order to guard against Roundup. This style of play gave Zhao Yaning a lot of room for breakthroughs, although he was blocking Gilberto in front of him, but he still did not hesitate, just after the death of rushing to Gilberto's side, he flicked the ball horizontally and passed it to Jiuli, who was running to the side.

Of course, Jiuli will not waste time, and directly plug it with one kick, and complete a beautiful two-by-one match.

Only Campbell and Keown were left in front of them...... Campbell had already pounced, and at the same time, Zhao Yaning saw that beside Keown, Roundup also ran. Do you come by yourself or pass the ball? This question flashed through Zhao Yaning's mind, but he still made a decision, he slammed it down, and pushed the ball through with a straight kick.

Roundup received the ball, he had already dodged Keown, very close to the goal, and when he received the ball, it was directly a hard kick.

The goal that broke the deadlock was born.

1-0.

"Well done!"

Jiuli was the first to rush over and hug Nonda, and after Rounda ran a few steps, after completing the celebration, he also walked back to his teammates, and specially walked over to pat Zhao Yaning, "It's good, it's good, just kick it like this, we're not worse than them." ”

Zhao Yaning nodded, turned around, and saw Vieira and Gilberto with bad faces. Arsenal were beaten through the middle by Zhao Yaning, and this goal was their responsibility, so they naturally will not be happy.

"Listen, brother," said Gyuri. hugged Zhao Yaning, "When you kick up for a while, you go to the middle more often, and I go to the side more often." You can't deal with the England defender, I can't deal with Patrick, we swapped. Don't be too sticky, Patrick is hard to deal with when he's serious, so if you can't pass it to me, I'll take care of you next to you. ”

Zhao Yaning nodded, he also understood what Jiuli meant: although Jiuli's running position is good, it is not very easy to use Arsenal's double back midfield, which has a large range of activities and strong interception ability. Although Zhao Yaning's breakthrough ability is strong, it is also very advantageous to meet Ashley Cole, who has the best defensive ability. But if you swap it every now and then, the effect can be bigger: Gyuli is a skilful runner, he can wear down Ashley Cole's patience and stamina when he gets to the wing, and as a full-back, Ashley Cole also needs to take care of attack, and he will not be happy to run all the way with Gyuli. And if Zhao Yaning reaches the middle, he can rely on his skillful skills to play games with Vieira: Vieira's defense is fierce, but the details are insufficient, and Gilberto in the back is not skilled enough to cooperate with him, it is still possible to open a gap in him.

It's a pity that Zhao Yaning doesn't know how to fake falls, nonsense and other very useful skills now, otherwise, with Vieira's temper, it is possible for him to get a small red card.

Jiuli remembered in his heart that he had to make up for this lesson for Zhao Yaning, and then walked away.

Although Gyuli made the arrangement, Arsenal were quick to make adjustments. Arsenal's backline quickly moved forward nearly ten meters, and this time, the space in the midfield was reduced a lot, and Zhao Yaning's breakthrough was immediately unexpected.

Then, the main attack can only be Roten's long pass. Keown is old, and Campbell is not a fast central defender, and long balls behind him are the most reasonable way to attack.

Aware of this, Gyuli quickly began to pay attention to feeding Roten. And Roten lived up to his promise, and after a dodge of space, he kicked the ball directly into the penalty area.

Roundup had a good chance, he judged where the ball would land and got to the position quickly, but ......

But Campbell was in front of him, and with him, he leapt into the sky.

Although Roundup is in a good position, he is far inferior in height and weight to Campbell, and his jumping ability is also much worse. As soon as the two made contact in the air, Campbell knocked Roundup out of balance, but Campbell himself was not affected in any way, and continued to rise, jumping almost a meter higher than Roundup, and easily pointed the ball to Keown.

Good terrifying air defense. This battle for the top made Zhao Yaning look staggering. No wonder Arsenal dared to press out, because they were sure that pressing out blocked the space and could limit themselves, and Rotten's long pass, Campbell's air defense alone was enough to block.

That's where the big teams are – when they want to defend, sometimes they don't have to think about tactics at all. Because they have a star in the defensive line, even if their defensive tactics go wrong, they can still save the situation with the individual ability of the players.

Both flanks are blocked, and if there is any way to break the deadlock, it is naturally a breakthrough in the middle. Roundup is fast, which is Keown and Campbell's weakness.

However, despite Giuli's appearance, Vieira's range of motion and tackling ability are superior. Gyuli's body is too low, although in the confrontation with ordinary people, he can rely on his low center of gravity, as well as fast speed and technique to get rid of the disadvantage, but when he encounters Vieira, who is outrageously physical and has excellent defensive skills, he does not have many methods. Patrick Vieira's focus on him disrupted his delivery, and with Gilberto blocking behind Vieira as a midfielder, Giuli didn't have much room to play for a while.

More importantly, as Arsenal's squad moved forward, their control of the midfield and the pressure on Monaco were also reflected, and Monaco's already fragile midfield defence was even more shaky after Arsenal attacked.

It didn't take long for Arsenal's attack to work.

Patrick Vieira tackled Gyuli and distributed the ball to Ashley Cole on the wing. Cole quickly plugged in. Zhao Yaning also ran over, but Cole didn't even give him the phone opportunity, so he kicked the ball to Pireth in front.

The Monaco right-back Giwe, who was next to Pire, immediately clung to Pire. He is tall and usually plays mainly as a central defender, even if he plays as a full-back, he is also a player with defensive ability, although Pire is strong, but Giwe can still delay him a little and make the back line better guard against Arsenal.

However, after Pire got the ball, he barely kicked the ball at all, only slightly loaded half a circle, and passed the ball diagonally to Henry in the middle.

As Arsenal's key target, as soon as Henry got the ball, Squeerage and Rodriguez both rushed over. But Henry just kicked the ball back lightly and passed it to Ashley Cole, who rushed up behind him. After receiving the ball, Kerr plugged it straight into Pire, who had bypassed Giwe's defense and ran out of position.

Pire took only one step after receiving the ball and sent it back to Thierry Henry in the middle with a low cross.

Henry received the ball near the penalty spot and lifted his foot to hit the goal. The ball was fast and tricky, heading straight for the bottom left corner to give Roma no chance to save the ball.

1-1, Arsenal equalised.

This time, it was Arsenal's turn to celebrate.

And Zhao Yaning also looked at Henry who was celebrating in front of him blankly, not knowing what to say.

Nice coordination, perfect movement, light passing - this kind of game attack, I don't know how much better than the rampage he plays.

Coach Arsene Wenger is really good.

"Boy, don't be in a daze, it's just a tie."

Jiuli ran over, although he was also a little embarrassed, but when he spoke, he was still scrappy.

"It's just a ball. The three of them were really good on the left flank, so it wasn't a surprise to concede the ball. Jiuli patted Zhao Yaning, "The game is not over yet." ”

Zhao Yaning turned his head, but he still had palpitations: he had never seen such a cooperation in the Brazilian team, although their skills were better, but when it came to skillful cooperation and tacit understanding, they were slightly inferior.

If it's a gap in ability, you can make up for it with hard work, but how can you make up for it in terms of tactics?

Zhao Yaning couldn't help but set his eyes on the coach's seat: This problem should be solved by Deschamps, right?

Now it's time to put him to the test: does the manager who took the team to the relegation zone last season really have a way to change his team's tactics?

Deschamps, who was standing on the sidelines at this time, also frowned.

The difference in strength between the two sides is really a bit big.

Patrick Vieira is in his prime right now and his role at both ends of the pitch has been terrifying. Pressing, intercepting, passing, impacting, shè goal, he can do almost anything in midfield. Although he sometimes commits fouls because he is frizzy and not calm enough, and he is also broken by a breakthrough master because his defensive position is not top-notch, but even so, he is still one of Arsenal's most irreplaceable links in the central position, and even the best player in this position in the world.

With him in the middle, Monaco's two playmakers will not be able to make much of a difference. And Zhao Yaning, who is good at internal cutting, is also limited in his play.

If there was only one Vieira, he wouldn't be afraid. Ignoring the midfield and passing straight to the front was one of his tactical ideas. But the problem is that the other side still has an air defense tower like Campbell, and his presence makes Roten's long pass not too useful.

And his own offense could not succeed, and the defense was also challenged. Monaco's defensive players are not particularly outstanding in their individual abilities, and if they can rely on them, it is mainly the tacit cooperation that they have grown up together. But the problem is that Ashley Cole, Pire, and Henry, the three players who play out of the sè, dwarf Monaco's cooperation with their ball intelligence and cooperation, and this kind of sharp attack on the left flank makes Monaco really unable to resist.

What makes Deschamps feel terrible is that such an Arsenal has not yet shown its full strength, and since the start of the game, Bergkamp has almost no strength, and Ljungberg on the other side has hardly played.

It is not possible to go on like this, and change must be sought.

And just when he was thinking like this, the situation on the field changed again. After Jiuli distributed the ball to Zhao Yaning's feet, Zhao Yaning flicked the ball with his right foot, made a feint to pedal a bicycle, and rushed directly from the right side of Ashley Cole. Cole quickly turned around and followed, he stuck Zhao Yaning's line of internal cut, Zhao Yaning could only rush all the way to the bottom line, and after seeing that there was no way, after an emergency stop, he tried to make a long pass to the middle. But Ashley Cole was quick and sealed the ball off the line with one kick.

Maybe it's a breakthrough.

Ashley Cole's attacking power is indeed sè, his technique, and the combination with Pire, Henry is indeed a sharp weapon in Arsenal's attack - but his defense, there is no problem with not dying.

He's a bit of an offense he's keen on, and it's not very timely to retreat. Although his defensive ability is outstanding, his mind is not on defense, and he has a lot of problems playing football.

If he is coached by a stricter iron coach, he should be able to improve a little more. And now he has a chance to be careless on defense.

But the question is, how do you use it? ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
