Seven Hundred and Fortieth Sixth, Taking the Enemy as a Teacher
"Coutinho volleys from a small angle from the left side of the penalty area!
Szczesny's save was slow!
Liverpool equalized the score!
Gareth Bale's unexpected threatening delivery of the ball at a critical moment shattered Arsenal's last line of defense!
In this season we have seen Gareth Bale become more mature, and he handles the ball more reasonably in the offensive danger zone!
Although he no longer blasts the opponent's defense line as frequently as he used to, but once he decides to attack the opponent's defense line, his success rate will be even higher!
This is a mature performance of a player.
Coutinho was able to score in this game, and judging from his handling of the ball, he has recovered well, which is definitely good news for Liverpool.
Liverpool will need him for the Champions League final in a week!
The score became 1:1. Arsenal tore through Liverpool's defense by surprise. When Liverpool raised their vigilance and made some targeted changes, Arsenal's offensive threat plummeted. I don't know if Wenger has a backup plan. If the current situation continues, Liverpool will gradually destroy Arsenal's psychological defense in frequent fast breaks!
Now Arsenal is going to have a headache, how to make up for Mertesacker's defense. In front of Liverpool, he is an obvious weakness that has been targeted! "
Although Wenger's expression was stubborn and resolute, it couldn't hide the helplessness hidden in it!
Liverpool is too strong!
So strong that if you can't rise to the overall height to suppress the opponent, Liverpool will always rebound, Liverpool will be injured, but will not be knocked down!
This is exactly what Wenger admires about Situ Yunbing. He coaches three teams, each of which can be built into the top European competitive team in the shortest time!
Wenger refused to accept!
No matter from the perspective of experience or professionalism, he believes that he will not lose to Situ Yunbing.
What is missing?
money?
The money spent by Situ Yunbing in coaching Liverpool in the past two years is not too much.
It's just equivalent to spending about four years of money spent by other giants in two years.
Expertise?
This is simply ridiculous. Wenger is the first to build a technical team in the Premier League era. How could he lag behind others in this regard?
spiritual?
Wenger didn't know that the arrogance in Situ Yunbing's bones against the world was actually different from the spiritual power integrated into the team behind it.
Wenger is also struggling. He shouldered the burden of Arsenal's new stadium, and reluctantly ended the period of Arsenal's prosperity ten years ago. Ten years later, Arsenal's new stadium laid the foundation for the club for the next century But it is even more difficult to get rid of the fate of being the fourth child in ten thousand years!
There is a subtle consensus in the entire European football world.
In the past seven years, European football has completed a transformation in its structure.
Before that, the giants in European football were generally on the same level. Even the old AC Milan could dominate the world, dark horses such as Porto could stand out, and Valencia could reach the Champions League final for two consecutive years.
But in the past seven years, the giants in European football have experienced internal divisions, and the strong are stronger!
Now every league has a head effect, Liverpool in the Premier League, Real Madrid in La Liga, Barcelona, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and Juventus in Serie A.
They regard the league championship as their pocket, and they can basically divide up the biggest benefits in the European arena every year. Unless they fight each other, when facing other teams, the outside world will basically judge the outcome of the game.
This change will not make the mid-range teams and the first-tier clubs feel too deeply. After all, they are basically at an absolute disadvantage against the giants from the front. But inside the giants, those clubs with the halo of the giants on their heads but defeated in the civil war of the giants, they are hurt. The deepest, most helpless group.
Arsenal is one of them.
Basically, top stars would not consider going to Arsenal. Even if the team has money, it is difficult to spend it. They build the team step by step but cannot survive the torture of the time without a championship.
Other giants will choose to change coaches.
Arsenal have always believed that Wenger can lead them out of the haze, after all, their starting point is not too low.
Wenger can only continue to grit his teeth and fight!
The earth goes on as usual.
The Sun Also Rises.
I still have dreams.
yet to be implemented!
Arsenal will continue to try hard to push the attack quickly with a diagonal approach.
If such a style of play after the opening is amazing and can create unexpected killing intent, then it seems a bit rigid to insist on playing like this after Liverpool consciously cut off their diagonal fast break connection.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Liverpool intercepted the ball in the frontcourt!
Ramsey was harassed by Lewandowski and passed the ball short to Cazorla. Kanter rushed forward decisively to complete the steal, and then passed the ball straight.
Gareth Bale first led the ball to change to an inside cut, and then dialed the ball to the side and turned back when Monreal recovered the center.
Pass the ball before it comes to the bottom line and send it out.
Mertesacker and Koscielny went to mark Lewandowski, who was in the middle of the goal, but Eriksson followed up and rushed to the goal!
The football flew straight above the near corner of the goal!
Szczesny's save was fruitless, and the football went into the upper right corner of the goal!
Immediately after Eriksson scored, he rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, slapping the team logo on his jersey at the Liverpool fans.
The Red Army fans shouted in unison!
"Eriksen scored with a header! Liverpool completed the lead in the score!
This is a typical Liverpool style of play, the continuous high pressure makes the opponent make mistakes, and then the blow is fatal!
Gareth Bale scored twice with an assist!
Arsenal was overtaken by Liverpool again, again!
If I remember correctly, Arsenal is the team that faced Liverpool the most times and led the longest time among all teams this season, but it was also the team that was overtaken the most times!
If it is a sprint race, Arsenal can beat Liverpool, but the game is a long-distance race, and Arsenal will never be the first to cross the line!
Liverpool leads Arsenal 2:1! "
Wenger showed a thoughtful look, Arsenal's style of play is now somewhat problematic!
Then you have to make adjustments at halftime.
Situ Yunbing also fell into deep thought after celebrating.
Because Arsenal's style of play today has brought him some inspiration.
Although Liverpool would also attack diagonally before, they mostly played the role of wingers, mostly in the context of counterattacks. In that situation, the rules and meaning of diagonal attacks were not clear.
Simply put, which winger has more space, better sprinting lines, and the opponent's defense is weak, then Liverpool's midfielder will hang the ball there.
To be precise, this is an overhead through ball, not about the idea of diagonal attack.
Situ Yunbing likes to observe and learn from opponents. The essence of his high-position press training is the shadow of Guardiola's high-pressure counter-attack when building pass control in Barcelona. His fast-break building also has the flavor of Mu's defense , The team's tactics of combining side and center have the essence of Ferguson's Scottish football.
Perhaps because he has never played professional football, Situ Yunbing has neither style beliefs nor genre origins. He can only learn from better coaches, and then get more ideas and inspiration from actual combat.
His advantage over other coaches is unknown to outsiders.
After all, Wenger's situation today is mostly due to the team's transformation from ten years ago.
But the price to be paid for the transformation is too great, especially if Arsenal wants to change from a defensive counterattack to a representative of gorgeous offensive football. This is not just a gap between whether there is a Henry.
Situ Yunbing's advantage is that he has high certainty about the players' future!
The introduction of a player by other giants may not be able to put the player in the most suitable position in the fastest time and let the player play the most appropriate role.
But Situ Yunbing can do it!
When other giants turn a blind eye to Kanter and have doubts about Van Dijk, Situ Yunbing knows that they are treasures, and at the same time knows where they are most suitable. This advantage is too great.
Therefore, Situ Yunbing has the courage and courage to overthrow the team and start over, while other giants dare not do so!
Because it is too difficult to rebuild the main frame, the cost of trial and error is often the record, and the club executives cannot bear the consequences!
After sorting out his thoughts, when Situ Yunbing figured out the midfield adjustment plan, the first half of the game also came to an end.
The Gunners fans in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium look worried, while the Liverpool fans have begun to sing.
Players from the two teams returned to the locker room with different moods.
After Situ Yunbing walked into the locker room, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. Generally, no players will speak at this time, so keep quiet.
He went to the tactical board and began to make adjustments.
The focus of this adjustment is on the two full-backs, but it requires the cooperation of the wingers. The requirements for the players in the middle are not too much, but it is a team after all, and overall cooperation is the basic condition.
After he made the midfield adjustments, Situ Yunbing said seriously to everyone: "Although we are ahead, I hope to see a positive change from everyone. You must understand that we played Arsenal for the FA Cup championship. It is also to face Barcelona with a better attitude!
I hope you will seriously implement the tactical adjustments you just made, so that I can see the results, good or bad! "
The effect is good, which means that the adjustment is effective and the thinking is correct. This is no less than allowing Liverpool to further improve its strength in details!
If the effect is not good, then sum up the experience. It is a problem of adjustment or the style of play is really not suitable. After all, it is a matter of trial and error.
At Liverpool's current level of strength, if you want to improve your strength, it is much more difficult than two years ago, a year ago!
But if it can be improved, even if it is only a little bit, it may be an advantage over opponents of the same level. It may not be obvious against a weak team, but it will be crucial to beat a strong team!
