Section 77 Changes in the Gunners

U8 update fastest reading network The game soon entered the halftime break, although the score was still 1:1, but Arsenal had taken the initiative on the field, and the Arsenal players who walked into the dressing room looked a little depressed.

'You played well in the first half, but I had a big problem with my tactical set-up. In the locker room, Deschamps didn't talk nonsense with everyone, and directly blamed all the mistakes on himself, "Your skills are very good, although you did encounter some trouble, but that's because the opponent is too strong, it's not your fault." ”

The players were a little relieved to hear this, but this is obviously far from enough.

'In the second half, we figured out how to win – it was our first game of the season and it didn't matter, but if we lost, it was just as humiliating. Deschamps scanned the room, "But if you don't care about being embarrassed, I have nothing to say." ”

"Tell us how to play." Gyuri spoke.

"In the second half we changed the way we played." Didier Deschamps glanced around the room, "In midfield, we bring in Eduardo, Lucas, you take a break." We have to defend well in midfield first and not let the opposition ravage our midfield. ”

Both Cisse and Bernaldi accepted the disposition. Bernardi did little in the first half, and although the two playmaking midfielders seemed to have an extra point of contact, he could not make much of a difference with Arsenal's two-man midfield. In contrast, it was Eduardo Cisse who stepped up to strengthen the midfield and intercept more reliable.

"Sabani, you rest in the second half. Don't get me wrong, you're playing well, I just need to be tall to cause trouble for Campbell. Dado, you go on the pitch and continue to fight for the header in the middle. ”

Both Roundup and Pulshaw nodded in agreement. Although Roundup is considered to be an all-round striker, he relies more on his speed to play, and his heading ability is not his forte. And Poulshaw's tall stature of 188 and his header skills, although it is not certain whether he can succeed in fighting for the top, but his ability to fight for the top is much stronger than Roundup.

"But beware, Dado is just a front, and what I really want is an attack on the side." Deschamps pointed to Zhao Yaning and Evra on the side, "You two are the focus of our attack in the second half. ”

"You mean, let's two break through quickly?" Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled, "But I don't have much room to play, they are very good at the card position." ”

"I didn't let you go to the middle. If you go to the middle of the road, it will definitely be difficult, it goes without saying. But you can go to the baseline position and pass. The England full-back is too lazy to defend, he simply relies on his ferocity and positioning skills to scare you into the middle. You need to play a little bit more with the man, one-on-one with him, and as long as you can get past him one-on-one, you can go straight to the bottom. Their defensive strategy is to cut inside and not to go down, and if you cross from the bottom, you won't encounter a lot of resistance. ”

"But my crosses are very poor." Zhao Yaning blushed a little.

"Didn't let you pass it on to Dado. Once Dado is in the middle, he is sure to attract Campbell's attention. At this point, you can pass the ball to someone else. Ludovic will be in the middle, Jérôme and Patrice will be on the right and all you need is to give them the ball. Deschamps pointed to Gyuli and Roten.

These words made Gyuri's eyes light up.

Obviously, the core of this tactic is him. What Zhao Yaning needs to do is just a large-scale side transfer, and the difficulty of this is much simpler than passing to the center to let the center fight for the top. And Patrice Evra and Roten both attacked on the left flank, completely disrupting the defensive set-up.

After all, Gilberto Silva has just arrived at Arsenal, and there is still a little problem with cooperation, and although Keown's level is very high, his age is really unforgiving. If there are more impact points, then it is indeed easy to form chaos in the front field, and the ability to capture fighters in this chaos, Jiuli is definitely a figure in the entire French league.

Attacking your opponent's weakest point with your own strongest point is what tactical setup is all about.

"If you understand, go ahead, at the end of the second half, I want a win!"

After a short break, the game resumed.

Monaco made two substitutions, and Arsenal also made some adjustments: Bergkamp, who had not played much in the first half, was replaced by Wiltord: This was not very unexpected, because Bergkamp did not like to do airplanes, he drove to Monaco a day earlier, although there is not necessarily a problem with physical strength, but it will certainly not be very good. It was a friendly anyway, and Wenger didn't want to overdo it, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to let him go early. And Wiltord is also a veteran of the French team, and he played to take care of the fans' affection.

The other substitution was a bit of a surprise: right-back Lauren was replaced by a black defender, he was supposed to be a young player, although the Monaco players didn't know him, but looking at the name of Toure Colo on his shirt, and considering that no one had seen him play in France, several players privately discussed that he should be a player from Ivory Coast: players there like to put their last names in their names.

But what is his level? That's what people don't know. It stands to reason that the French League 1 pays more attention to Africa, and they all know more or less about the players in Africa, but Arsenal, under the leadership of Arsene Wenger, has established a scouting system in Africa that does not lose to Ligue 1 in the past two years, and its understanding of some parts of Africa has even surpassed that of Ligue 1.

However, no matter why they changed people, for Zhao Yaning, the people he needs to face have not changed.

It's still Ashley Cole, and Vieira, who is wandering around the middle and could come and block him at any moment.

As soon as the race began, Zhao Yaning started his sāo disturbance xìng running. Obviously, Gyuli also knows very well that Monaco's sneak attack is impossible as a long-term offensive measure, Wenger is not a fool, as long as Monaco plays once or twice, he will definitely make adjustments, therefore, what he has to do now is to paralyze the opponent so that Arsenal cannot see where Monaco's attack is.

Therefore, he distributed the ball to Roten on the left side again and again, and Roten also crossed long balls again and again to Poolau in the front.

This style of play did affect the Arsenal players: perhaps in their opinion, a tall striker was brought in just to attack with headers. Although Poolau is not very advantageous against Campbell, it still has a clear advantage over Roundup.

On the other hand, Arsenal played a little worse than in the first half: after Bergkamp went down, the midfield had one less connecting point, and Monaco's two-back formation also made Arsenal a little uncomfortable, and their pressure was much worse than in the first half.

And this situation has also caused Ashley Cole to insert more and more: Zhao Yaning doesn't have the ball, and he doesn't have to involve too much jīng force. Instead of endlessly pestering with Zhao Yaning at the back, he hopes to help the team score a goal again. As for Zhao Yaning, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Zhao Yaning is not a side who is good at passing, even if he holds the ball and cuts inside, it is difficult to be effective in the face of Arsenal's central defense.

Such an attitude, in the eyes of Jiuli, is a manifestation of half the success of the plan.

Soon, Jiuli took advantage of Cole's misposition and passed the ball to Zhao Yaning's feet. Zhao Yaning kicked the ball out by stopping the ball, and immediately raised the speed to the highest. Gilberto rushed head-on, trying to fill in the position to snatch Zhao Yaning's ball, Zhao Yaning stopped at his feet, buckled the ball, and just when Gilberto put the ball out, it was another one-legged spin on the spot, finding enough space for himself to start the ball.

But at this time, Campbell also squeezed Poolau behind him and occupied a favorable position. Although Gyuli tried to run out of position, his height and receiving long passes had a natural disadvantage. However, looking at the left, Patrice Evra has already rushed at high speed, and Roten has also attacked forward, although Keown also noticed them, but Monaco's front line, there is still an extra point.

Kick up, long pass.

Zhao Yaning's long passing skills are very average, but because no one affects him, the ball still easily drew a big arc and fell to the feet of Evra on the left side. Evra didn't hesitate, and immediately kicked shè, but his meaning was too obvious, and shè was not very outstanding, Keown took the first step in front of him and stretched out his legs. The ball slammed into Keown and bounced back into the middle of the pitch.

Guri grabbed the first point, and immediately it was a low flat ball shè goal. Although the angle and strength of his kick are good, but he obviously underestimated Arsenal's tacit cooperation, several people have gathered in the penalty area, and the angle of Gyuli's shè door is not large, according to the position of Keown and Campbell, although Seaman's vision was obstructed, he still judged the direction of the ball very accurately and saved the ball from the bottom line.

Although this attack did not work, from the beginning of the attack to the two consecutive shots, their attack this time at least showed that their tactics still worked. The surrounding fans erupted in applause, and the Monaco players gained a lot of confidence.

Soon, their second attack was once again in front of Monaco. It was still Zhao Yaning's quick breakthrough on the right side, but this time, Kerr did not lose his position, followed Zhao Yaning closely, and did not give him any chance to get up. Zhao Yaning tried to stop and buckle again, but Cole did not lose his position this time, but stuck in front of Zhao Yaning, blocking his way.

Once a player has chosen to go under, near the bottom corner, it is difficult to make changes. Without enough space and passing angles, the opponent's full-backs defended and could block more than half of the style of play as long as they stuck their positions, which was much easier.

But this kind of small-scale excellence is exactly what Zhao Yaning has been training for the past few days.

Kicked the ball to the right and deliberately kept it a little further away from him...... Cole looked cautious, but moved his body a little, but didn't stretch his feet. Zhao Yaning knew that he had not deceived him this time, and his body suddenly tilted sharply to the left, his right leg and upper body were almost stretched into a straight line at a 45-degree angle to the ground, and his right foot turned the ball back. Cole took a step forward this time and stretched his foot towards the ball at Zhao Yaning's feet - he judged very clearly, with Zhao Yaning's balance, he could indeed break the ball.

But he still underestimated Zhao Yaning's flexibility.

As Cole stepped up to grab it, Zhao Yaning suddenly retracted the upper body that had been leaning out, supported his body with his left foot, and his right foot immediately changed from plucking the ball to picking the ball, and the football jumped up, grazing Cole's body from the height of Cole's waist and flying over his right side.

And Zhao Yaning's left leg suddenly exerted force at this time, and he also rushed over from Cole's left side.

The man and ball under such a static action are divided, even Cole is a little surprised when he is well-informed.

And Zhao Yaning, who passed Cole, did not stop, and rushed into the penalty area along the bottom line. Keown immediately made up for it, but he didn't dare to make too big a move in the penalty area, so he could only try to force Zhao Yaning to the bottom line, but Zhao Yaning didn't think about hitting the goal by himself, at this time in the penalty area, Evra, Gyuli, and Poolau were already in place.

Zhao Yaning nudged and gave the ball to Pulsau.

Campbell, who was next to Poulshaw, was immediately cut off with a kick. But Pulshaw showed a shège of composure and skill: he pulled the ball lightly, dipped it away, dodged Campbell's tackle, and then immediately hit the shè goal.

Seaman fell to the ground to save, but the ball slipped past his fingertips and into the back of the net.

2:1。

Monaco took the lead again.

And this goal made Wenger, who had been sitting on the sidelines, also stand up.

It was a really surprising race.

Arsene Wenger didn't do much to prepare before coming to Monaco. Although he used to be a coach at Monaco, he doesn't have much time and jīng to focus on his old club. The job of a Premier League club coach is very busy, and most of his time is spent on his own players.

And Monaco's results last season, as well as the poor financial situation of Monaco revealed by his old friend Jean Potit before this game, also made Wenger feel that the team that has been in Ligue 1 and is relegated at the same time, and the management lacks funds, will not be much stronger.

However, such a game surprised Wenger a little: since when has the relegation team of Ligue 1 been so ferocious? Is French football progressing so fast?

Yes, Arsenal didn't go all out in this game - if it was Bergkamp who went all out, even if the opponent put on a double back, it would also be ravaged by Arsenal, and if it was Pire, who was going all out, even if the opponent threw a Giwe who did not participate in the attack in the full-back position, he would also be embarrassed to be teased. If it were Ljungberg, who was attacking with all his might, he would not use such a posture of not working hard to face an attacking full-back and sleepwalk all over the field.

Not to mention Ashley Cole: he was embarrassed by Zhao Yaning's continuous breakthroughs in this game, if he is willing to spend more effort on defense, don't let Zhao Yaning take the ball so calmly, the game will be a different state.

But even so, Monaco have been unexpected: their defence has conceded just one goal so far, and their attacking line has shown a multi-talented attacking talent. If there is any problem, it is only that their run-in is not very good. Such a team, if the run-in is better and the tactical ability is stronger, maybe it is really Arsenal's fierce rival.

I take this game purely as a commercial competition for the purpose of making money, which is a bit too much to take for granted. Although Deschamps is young, he may be an interesting opponent in the future if he looks at his tactical adjustments against xìng.

Well, try his level.

"Jermaine, get ready to play." Glancing at the bench, Arsene Wenger found his ideal person, "There are some places you need to pay attention to......

Soon, the substitution sign was raised on the sidelines, and Deschamps looked at the substitution number and frowned a little.

Jermaine Pennant, for Pire?

Pire's serious injury is just recovering and it really should be protected...... But what is the purpose of replacing Pennant, such a player who has been on loan continuously?

What is it for cutting off his own left-wing attack?

As one of the talented newcomers to English football, Pennant's talent is not terrible. But this excellence also has to distinguish the objects of comparison. If you talk about comparing it to the average player, he is indeed very talented, but compared to Pire, he can't play the role of Pire at all.

As the Premier League's premier winger, Pire's organization, attack, connection, and field control ability can be said to be first-class. Even when the French team is full of talent in the midfield, he is still regarded as the best secondary attack candidate for the French team, and he is also the plan B after Zidane, which is enough to see how capable he is. What's more, the skillful cooperation between him, Ashley Cole, and Henry is an important attack for Arsenal, and considering that Bergkamp has now been replaced, this can even be said to be the most important way to attack. Pennant was still on loan last season, and he is still a right-footed winger, and he is also operating more on the right side, so let him replace Pire on the left side, what is Wenger's idea for such a change?

It doesn't matter if a friendly is won or lost, but does Arsene Wenger really do that?

Deschamps was still thinking about it, but at this time, Pennant had already walked to the field, and after a few brief words with Ashley Cole and Vieira, he moved to the left midfield.

And immediately, the offensive and defensive positions of both sides changed.

Patrick Vieira, who was on the ball again, didn't play the ball to the left, this time he played it to the right. Ljungberg received the ball and didn't accelerate much, relying on his own change of tempo, he easily shook off Patrice Evra and then curled a beautiful cross - but Squeerage grabbed the first point and headed the ball out.

But Patrick Vieira grabbed the ball again and immediately gave it to Ljungberg again.

Has the focus of the attack shifted to the right side? Doubts flashed in Deschamps' heart.

Sure enough, the next few times, Ljungberg ended his first half almost on a walk, and he did a perfect couple of assaults, almost doing anything against the inexperienced Evra. After Arsenal's left flank was frozen, the right flank was well activated.

But Monaco's attack shouldn't have fallen like this, right?

Deschamps looked at the field, and the football flowed to Zhao Yaning's feet again.

As Monaco's most assured point of attack, his ball handling is one of the most important means of Monaco's breakthrough.

This time, however, he had some problems. Ashley Cole stood right in front of him, staring at the ball at his feet as if he were on the verge of an enemy.

Zhao Yaning swung twice, and after finding that his opponent didn't eat his feints, he could only choose to break through head-on. But at this time, Pennant pasted over from him, so that Zhao Yaning could only choose to turn around.

Ashley Cole didn't hesitate to pinch over, cut off the ball at Zhao Yaning's feet, and kicked it to Gilberto in the middle.

And this time, Ljungberg was already running fast when he saw Cole's pass. Gilberto played a long ball to Ljungberg's feet, who easily unloaded the ball on the run and slotted it straight into the box.

At this time, Evra was still trying to run back because he was a step slower to react.

Rodriguez blocked Ljungberg's advance lane, and Ljungberg didn't stick to the ball too much, and slotted the ball to Vieira, who cut in front of midfield. Patrick Vieira slammed the ball on the crossbar and flew towards the back of the goal with a bang.

A beautiful counter-attack – it's one of Arsenal's favourite ways to attack. Although before this, Arsenal put on a confrontational appearance, and because of the friendly game, they were also a little careless and unwilling to spend too much jīng force, but when they got serious, even if there were no two superstars on the offensive line, Pire and Bergkamp, and only one Ljungberg left, they were difficult to resist.

Gorgeous attacks, skillful coordination, sharp counterattacks, multi-point flowering of the players, coupled with coach Arsene Wenger's tactical awareness and adjustment, this is the real Arsenal. The Arsenal that crisscrossed England, competed with Manchester United in the Premier League, and made the whole of England worship Arsenal with artistic football! ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
