Section 653 Optimal formation

(Cat Flutter Chinese) Although Arsenal is a strong team in the Premier League, their style of play is not quite the same as that of the Premier League. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. Their backline is unlikely to compare to those of Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester United. Young people inevitably make a lot of mistakes, and the mistakes of defenders are fatal. No one can make up for this.

Therefore, Wenger has a different idea in mind: a single midfielder, reinforcement of players up front, quick counter-attacks, and quick passes to tear apart the opponent's backline. Since it is difficult to compete with strong teams by relying on defense, it is better to bet on offense.

Such a gorgeous attack, fast transmission, and sharp counterattack are indeed the unique style of play in the Premier League. And this kind of play, now, is also a big trouble for Liverpool.

The current Liverpool is not the same as Arsenal. What Arsenal wants is to score goals through quick counter-attacks, so as to penetrate Liverpool's defense in the shortest possible time, and what Liverpool is pursuing is to suppress the opponent in the opponent's half of the field through counter-attacks and passes. Although the former is gorgeous, it is indeed a variant of defensive counterattack, while the latter's style of play is closer to offensive football, but because Liverpool is different from Barcelona, not all players here have good foot work, and the confrontation in the Premier League is too strong, and it is impossible to use a group of small players to play like Barcelona, therefore, Liverpool chooses more to hand the ball to the opponent's feet, and then rely on the strong pressure of their own side to force the opponent to pass in the backfield, and then Liverpool presses and counter-robs and attacks.

This kind of thinking is very good for others, but when it comes to Arsenal, it is very embarrassing to be played by Arsenal's approach of not talking about defense, that is, directly attacking quickly.

Liverpool is not afraid of the opponent's side attack, Liverpool's side defense is very good, and the header defense in the box is also very good, and the traditional wing attack of the Premier League means little to them. And Liverpool is not very afraid of passing through the midfield on the ground, relying on a pair of excellent double midfielders, Liverpool's interceptions on the back line are also among the best in the Premier League. However, they are really helpless against Arsenal's unreasonable, relying on excellent passing and passing through the midfield in five seconds.

No matter how big the midfield advantage is, if people don't fight with you, what else can you do? What's more, Liverpool's midfield advantage is grabbed, not passed, and what they originally pursued was not to let the opponent not get the ball, Arsenal still has a lot of opportunities to get the ball, which also makes Liverpool play extremely awkward.

In this game, Liverpool was tactically inferior.

However, when Arsenal did so, they were completely exposing their backfield to Liverpool. Their backfield defense is not strong in the first place, and now they are still playing like this, which really gives Liverpool a greater chance.

This season, Senderos has been removed from his main player position by Arsene Wenger - last season he was rotated by various teams as a weakness, and it was really not good to send back. And a player, if the strength is not good, can be expected, but his problem is a psychological problem. There is a problem with kicking, because he has been kicked by the opposing striker many times and has been infected with psychological shadows, he is also the only one in the football world. With such a fragile psychological quality, it can basically be said that he will not be able to play in the future.

And this season, after getting Galla from Chelsea, Arsenal's defense is indeed a strong reinforcement.

Galla is one of the best at Chelsea and arguably a better centre-back than Carvalho. It's just that Chelsea doesn't have a left-back, so naturally they can only pull him to the left-back position, and Mourinho is also helpless. However, this made Gala dissatisfied, and finally fell out with the team for the central defender position, and sent it to Arsenal for 21 million.

And the combination of him and Toure, although not as good as when Campbell was in the past, is much better than Senderos. Both of them are very fast, which allows Arsenal's backline to press very forward, and they have enough speed to turn and chase back, and they can push forward to support the front court to their heart's content, which is one of the important reasons why Arsenal's attack is so good.

However, Liverpool is also not a weak team, and Arsenal's defense is now full of holes in Zhao Yaning's eyes.

Soon, he found an opportunity, and on one catch, he deliberately slowed down to lure Flamini into a tackle, and he kicked the ball into Gerrard, who was inserted from behind.

Gerrard couldn't understand Zhao Yaning's idea of wanting to play, and he strode up two steps and blasted the ball towards the goal. Lehmann knocked the ball out of the penalty area with both fists, and this time, after Zhao Yaning got the ball, he pulled the ball with his left foot, dodged Toure's top grab, and rushed into the penalty area. Then, after Galla and Toure had tightly blocked his pass to Milito, he slammed the ball back to Gerrard.

This time, Gerard understood Zhao Yaning's intentions. He stuffed the ball straight into the penalty area, Milito was watched very closely by Gala at this time, but Garcia found an opportunity, inserted, and shot the ball into the goal!

"Liverpool are ahead! Garcia scored Liverpool's first goal at the Emirates Stadium! ”

Garcia only celebrated a little before motioning for his teammates to continue attacking. After all, Liverpool is away from home in this game, and it is against Arsenal, and a one-goal lead is not enough.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Arsenal to score and equalize. This time, relying on a corner kick opportunity, the Arsenal players caused a scuffle in the box, and in the chaos, Flamini fell in the box, and the first reaction of the Liverpool players was to cheat the penalty, but before everyone could react, Cesc Fabregas kicked the ball into the goal.

Flamini immediately jumped up and celebrated with Cesc Fabregas!

"Is that tactical?" Looking at them, Zhao Yaning was a little speechless. People slipped in the penalty area, not cheating penalties, not faking falls, this goal is a mistake caused by Liverpool's own mistake, this is indeed a bit nonsense.

"It's just clever, it's not a good idea to always play this set." Alonso said, "It's not a big deal. ”

But right away, it turned out to be a big deal. Liverpool soon conceded another goal: this time, Van Persie's shot made Dudek have a problem when he saved, and this time, Henry took advantage of the opportunity, and he rewrote the score to 2-1.

'Liverpool are in a very bad situation, Arsenal equaliser and quickly take the lead, is this going to be their third defeat of the season? Three defeats in less than half a season, that's too much......"

The players on the pitch clearly understand that. Last season, they only lost three times in the whole season, and this season, do they lose three out of ten games?

No matter what, we can't afford to lose again!

At this time, Benitez also made personnel adjustments. Garcia down, Kuyt up.

'Kuyt was put on the right side of midfield, maybe this change can help Liverpool get some chances......

Liverpool's changes are clearly geared towards Arsenal's ability to pass. This change is to enhance the ball at the back of Arsenal. One Steven Gerrard is obviously not enough to give Arsenal a problem with passing skills, but with the addition of Kuyt, the problem is different.

Moreover, such a change also made Milito feel a lot more comfortable: Garcia still relies on his running position after all, and he and Milito's running position still overlaps a lot. There was nothing when Milito was in good shape, but now Milito himself is not in good shape, and that becomes a big problem. And now, with Kuyt, who does not compete for opportunities, it gives Milito more opportunities, Liverpool's frontcourt counter-attack is better, and the team's frontcourt cooperation is better than when Garcia was there.

And Arsenal, after taking the lead, gradually revealed their problems. After all, their players are still young, and after the second half, they are 2-1 ahead, and their mentality is starting to become more and more impetuous, their pace has become faster, obviously, the 2-1 score is not enough to satisfy them.

But this approach is tantamount to exposing his own problems to the feet of Liverpool. Soon, Liverpool found their chance. On one of Cesc Fabregas's insertions, Mascherano made a fine tackle and Alonso got the ball on his hands and immediately played a long ball over the top to Milito.

Milito knocked back and gave the ball to Zhao Yaning's feet, and Zhao Yaning immediately hit the goal and kicked the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!

"Liverpool pulled a goal back! Liverpool have now equalised! With ten minutes to go, maybe they can turn the tables around. ”

Since it can be equalized, it is not impossible to turn the tables. Soon, during one of Klich's forward cuts, Gerrard and Kuyt were immediately blocked, and the excellent scramble of the two men snatched the ball from Chlich's feet, and then Kuyt kicked the ball to McConn, who was inserted in the back, and consciously ran backwards to fill in the position.

"Why do I feel that Liverpool's right side of the front and back are reversed...... However, Kuyt's style of play is indeed a great help to Liverpool, and the current Liverpool is enough for any team to be vigilant anytime and anywhere! ”

In the past, if you didn't play well, you would pass the ball back and let the backcourt players get the ball, which could appropriately reduce some of the pressure. Until now, this practice has been the most common practice in football, and after the return pass is not allowed to use hands, the scavenger goalkeeper was born because of this. Liverpool's current style of play is to rely on active scrambling, so that the opponent is unstable in the backfield, this approach is really a bit arrogant, but Liverpool's players are active in scrambling and have excellent anti-robbery ability, which has also become the biggest guarantee for them to play this kind of football.

Originally, Gerrard, Sissoko, and Alonso's midfield sweep was terrible enough, and this season Mascherano replaced Sissoko, and now Kuyt has replaced Garcia, and the ability of this sweep is even more terrifying.

No one realised that Liverpool at this time had found their best formation.

McCone didn't pass the ball directly to Milito, he kicked it back and gave it to Gerrard. Gerrard kicked the ball to the left and gave it to Zhao Yaning's feet, and Zhao Yaning judged the direction of the ball, rubbed the pass, and sent the ball into the penalty area!

Naturally, Milito will not let go of such a good opportunity. He sticks his head out, a header, and hits the ball into the far corner!

“gooooal!!!! Liverpool scored again! They came back from home and they proved that there is still hope for this season!! "Cat flutter Chinese
