Chapter 366 I am in charge of my zipper!
"As the game progressed, Arsenal started to increase their attacking power gradually."

"It was a lob pass to the front of the box... Giroud got the first touch and headed it down."

"Wilshere got the ball, and then he just made a beautiful cross and split to the left."

"Chilean striker Sanchez went back here, a good opportunity! He faced Zouma's defense, and passed with a shake, cross!"

"Dangerous! But David Luiz made a beautiful header to resolve the crisis. Otherwise, the ball would probably be headed in by Giroud."

"By the way, David Luiz is not only strong offensively, but also more and more stable defensively."

"However, the clearance did not keep the danger away from Chelsea's penalty area. Arsenal's offensive is coming again!"

"It's still on the left, and I'm still looking for Sanchez."

"He still wanted to break through Zouma, but this time the French teenager stood firm and did not let Sanchez succeed."

"Sanchez made an emergency stop and wanted to pass directly to the middle..."

"But the ball was not kicked high enough and was intercepted by Ake halfway, and Chelsea launched a counterattack on the spot."

"The long ball went up the wing and Chelsea countered quickly."

"Arsenal also quickly returned to defense..."

This offensive and defensive scene that appeared in the 20th minute of the game is almost the epitome of the first 20 minutes of the game.

Arsenal attack, Chelsea defend, Chelsea counterattacks when they get the chance, and then it's Arsenal's turn to defend.

"Although Arsenal are playing very lively, they still seem to be a bit fragmented in the frontcourt." Scaloni on the sidelines said to Pan Yi, "Obviously this set of 4231 relies a lot on the attacking midfielder's organization and attack, but it rarely Hand the ball to Wilshere."

Pan Yi nodded.

It seems that Scaloni's disciple is still making great progress, at least there is no problem with observation and tactical analysis.

He can really go to York City to coach independently next season, so he can exercise a little bit.

说到温格为什么喜欢用4-2-3-1，就是因为相较于4-3-3，或3-4-3，它是一个更加平衡的阵型。

Compared with 4-3-3, the midfielder actually changed the direction of the triangle and became a combination of two midfielders and a front midfielder. The most obvious point is to increase the thickness of the midfielder and strengthen the barrier in the middle. effect.

At this time, the player in position 10 will occupy a large area of ​​space by himself, and he needs to take on greater responsibilities, using his personal ability in the middle to connect all the players in the midfield.

In the current football world, the midfielder in 4-2-3-1 needs both physical and technical skills. Both are indispensable, otherwise it is easy to be targeted because there is a lack of helpers around.

Otherwise, the position of the attacking midfielder needs to be biased to one side, as close as possible to the center forward and the winger on the corresponding side.

而在没有特别安排的情况下，相较于4-3-3阵型的灵活多变，4-2-3-1阵型在有球和无球之间的动态转化中略显生硬。

Now Arsenal have that problem when they attack.

Wilshere, who plays the midfielder today, is a very comprehensive player, good at almost everything, interception, offensive and defensive organization, creating opportunities, scoring goals, passing...

But being able to do everything actually means that everything is a little bit closer to the top.

Especially in the ability to organize support and connect the frontcourt attack, there is still a bit of a gap from the world's top midfielder.

In fact, his best position should be behind the offensive core of the three in the midfield and in front of the defensive midfielder, so that he can become an important serializer and metronome in the midfield.

So today his Arsenal teammates are obviously a little uncomfortable with Wilshere's series connection in the front midfielder, and they are always used to handing the ball to Sanchez on the wing to organize.

And once the front midfielder gets less of the ball, the connection between the four-man attacking team in the frontcourt will become far away, so there will be a sense of fragmentation.

当然了，温格的这个4-2-3-1也不是固定的阵型，它也会经常根据场上的形势变化而变化，阵型通常在4-2-4和4-4-2之间来回切换，这其中也包含了过渡中的2-4-4或者4-2-2-2。

In the high-position press, there are 4 people on the defensive line. If the opponent's ability to play the ball is average, then they can give the opponent the highest intensity of oppression.

In the middle defense, it is easy to form a hexagonal cage in the middle. On the basis of cutting off the forward pass, it can be quickly tightened to form an encirclement after the opponent's key player takes the ball in the middle. In order to keep their vital points in the middle.

Then fall into the low defense, it is a 4-4-2.

The existence of two defensive midfielders can also ensure the number advantage in some areas of the backcourt. On the basis of regional defense, the two defensive midfielders can focus on the opponent's attack or organization core according to the situation.

For example, you can choose to close the door to block the retreating center forward, or you can pull away and retreat to the two ribs to track the opponent's central midfielder.

而如果把4-2-3-1阵型在攻守转换的时刻中经常会出现在场面上的，4-2-4的过渡形态放在战术板上，那沿着左右边路的两个空洞就跃然纸上了。

This is clearly a double-edged sword.

At the moment without the ball, the opponent can easily form a numerical advantage in the midfield to break their own high-position press.

But when there is the ball, especially in the counterattack, the team can also quickly advance through a simple pass, and then use the mobility of the four-man combination in the frontcourt to focus on the space behind the opponent.

In other words, 4-2-3-1 is actually a formation that needs to maximize the use of transition moments.

The transformation of the overall formation of the 11 players on the field must be quick. After losing the ball or the high position is broken, they must quickly recover to form a 4-4-2 mid-low defense. In the counterattack, they diverge from the compact position and penetrate deep into the opponent's hinterland. The pace is also fast in order to seek the fatal blow.

从这个角度来说，4-2-3-1阵型中后场球员的出球能力就很重要了，因为推进中的传球路线相比于4-3-3少了很多。

The hole in the midfield requires at least one of the defensive midfielders to have a certain ability to hold and dribble the ball, and also have the awareness of passing the ball forward to penetrate the defense.

The defenders must also have a high-level long pass to achieve a combination of length and length when playing the ball in the backcourt, so as to maximize the advantages of the 4-2-3-1 formation and avoid disadvantages.

It's just that, facing a solid defense like Chelsea today, Arsenal's set of tactics seems to be aggressive, but in fact it is difficult to achieve the expected tactical effect.

The first is that too much offensive force has been invested, resulting in a weak midfield, especially the serious lack of protection for the organizational midfielder Cazorla.

Putting Cazorla behind is actually Wenger wanting to use him as a Pirlo, so as to play a more gorgeous offense.

But this trick is also a double-edged sword.

Although Cazorla, who is in his 30s this year, is indeed very strong in offensive organization, he, like Pirlo, also needs the protection of his teammates.

As a result, although Arsenal's offensive strength has become stronger, once they fail to score as soon as possible, the huge hidden dangers in defense are easy to be caught.

Among other things, if the Chelsea midfielder starts to encircle Cazorla, it will cause his physical fitness to decline rapidly, and he will start to make mistakes.

That's why Pan Yi told Wenger before the game that if Arsenal can't score in seven or 10 minutes, then they will lose!
It would be like a sword of Dalymus hanging over Wenger's head.

As for Chelsea, the thing to do is very simple, first guard, procrastinate, wait for the other party to worry, wait for the other party to make a mistake!
-
"Okay, now it's Cazorla who has the ball and he flicks it to the right."

"This time it was Ramsey. He dunked Ake in a hurry, and then quickly passed the ball into the penalty area!"

"Girouel, turn around beautifully and hit the door directly!"

"Good guy! Giroud's kick turned around and hit the goal, so wonderful and sudden!"

"This is the characteristic of Giroud. Speaking of it, he is actually a bit like Ibrahimovic, that is, he can use any angle, use any position, and use various postures to complete the last shot!"

"David Luiz looked a little clumsy in front of Giroud this time."

"But this time Giroud's shot didn't succeed. Martinez, the old Arsenal player, caught the ball firmly in his arms and pressed it to the ground."

"Martinez's save was brilliant, but the ball was also the result of Chelsea's defense."

"We can see from the slow motion that in this defense, Kante fell back very deep, and David Luiz formed a defensive angle with him. After Giroud turned around David Luiz, the angle of the shot was already wide. It was small so Martinez was able to settle in time and seal the angle."

"This shows that Chelsea's defense is really tight! Of course, Martinez's desire to perform is also very strong. He holds the ball on the ground and actually... delays time? It seems that he wants to let himself The old teammates are even more impatient."

"Because Arsenal's offensive investment is very strong now, and they are actively trying to open up the situation from both wings. But whether it is left or right, Chelsea's defense is very solid, and it is difficult for Arsenal to create a real threat."

"Because of this, it has been half an hour and the score is still zero to zero. The Arsenal players who want to win at home are indeed a little anxious."

"From a statistical point of view, Arsenal created six shot opportunities, three of which appeared in the penalty area and three from long distances, but none of them were able to create absolute scoring opportunities in the true sense."

"Chelsea had two shots on goal, but neither was on target."

"From this data, it is not difficult to see that Arsenal has a clear advantage on the field, and Chelsea can only take a defensive counterattack. But it seems that Arsenal has to think of a way to break through Chelsea's iron wall."
-
Breaking the dense defense is a common problem for all teams in the world.

Breaking the defense of a strong team is even more difficult.

Why are Mourinho's teams often difficult to play?
Because even if he takes Real Madrid to play in a team like Levante, he will defend and fight back with peace of mind.

And now, in today's game, Chelsea unexpectedly put on a defensive posture, which made Arsenal play very uncomfortable.

As Giroud shook his head again and missed the goal, Wenger on the sidelines also waved his arms as if venting, cursing some words starting with F in his mouth.

The main reason is that Giroud's attack is actually not a good opportunity.

Chelsea's central defenders pushed Giroud to the penalty spot. At such a distance from the goal, even if Giroud is the top strength, it is not easy to pose a threat to the gate guarded by Martin.

Martin's performance today was really great!

At least judging from his performance during the first half, he was no worse than Cech standing opposite him.

This can't help but make Wenger a little puzzled, whether this business is also a loss...

Why add "also"?
That's of course because Gnabry, who is also on the field today, can be said to have performed tens of millions of dollars recently. It is definitely not the mere few million that Arsenal sold to Chelsea to reflect his worth.

The two old players who were sold cheaply to Chelsea have performed well, and Arsenal have been unable to open up the situation for a long time. Multiple unpleasant things have superimposed, and the professor can't help but scold his mother.

Then look at the defenders who defended Giroud a little uncomfortable.

David Luiz is fine, this Ake, this Zuma, they are all about 20 years old, but they seem very mature.

Giroud usually just stops in the penalty area, and Zuma will quickly lean up and use his thick body to arch Giroud outward;

And Ake is also sticking to Giroud's body, while squeezing the big Giroud's body, it is also preventing Giroud from making some connections similar to hitting the wall with nearby teammates.

Therefore, under the taking care of David Luiz, Ake, and Zuma in turn, it is really not easy for Giroud to grab a few overhead kicks.

"Pan Yi's ability to recognize and train people is really beyond my generation's capabilities." Wenger couldn't help sighing.

In the world of football, the professor is already the best coach who can find and practice Xiaoyao, but Pan Yi's "playing every shot" really made Wenger feel inferior.

But now is not the time for him to lament these things.

There is a cruel reality in front of us that Arsenal's offense has made no achievements. The first half is about to end, but the score is still zero to zero.

As time went by, Chelsea gradually gained a firm foothold, players entered the game one after another, and the Blues' defense became stronger and stronger.

But the problem is, Wenger really can't come up with any concrete plans for the time being...

"The most important thing for Arsenal now is patience!"

Speaking live on Sky Sports, Arsenal legend Ian Wright said:

"As football, attacking itself is more difficult than defending. To break through the gate of a well-trained and strong team like Chelsea requires more effort and more patience."

The host Lineker asked: "So Ian, what do you think Wenger should do now?"

Ian Wright said: "There is nothing else, just be patient. To be honest, I think it is a good thing that Chelsea didn't play against Arsenal today. At least I don't think Arsenal's defense may be able to withstand the opposition. The impact of a group of young people..."

"But now that such a situation has formed, we must grasp it. Be patient, be more patient, and don't worry about gains and losses because you can't attack for a long time."

"At this time, the test for both sides of the game is not only on the technical and tactical level, but also on the psychological level, and the latter is even more important."

"Of course, Chelsea's defense is indeed quite well-organized. I have to admit this. In the past, we saw too much about Chelsea's offensive organization. Now it seems that Pan Yi's team is also very strong in defensive execution. "

"Sometimes Chelsea even hoards seven players in the midfield and defends their own 30-meter area, making this place an impregnable wall. This makes it difficult for our frontcourt offense to cooperate in this area, and the individual performance of the players is also difficult. restricted."

"So, you should be patient now, don't press blindly, withdraw first, control the ball, patiently look for opportunities, and wait for the opponent to make mistakes. There is also the opportunity to use set-pieces. We have good set-piece players in the team. "

Lineker said with a smile: "What the hell is Pan Yi up to today? He suddenly launched a dense defense. He is not training for the Champions League knockout match in a few days, is he? Before going to Turin, put an iron bucket first Array?"

Ian Wright shook his head: "Maybe he just wants to win this game with a late attack. This is what I am more worried about. All the games this season have proved that Chelsea's physical fitness is absolutely unique. of."

Lineker nodded: "Then I understand. Is this kid showing off his skills? He just wants to tell the world that he can defeat other strong teams with various tactics..."

The guests discussed it quite enthusiastically, but apart from Ian Wright's "patience", in fact, no one was able to give a specific countermeasure.

After all, it is difficult to break the defense, and basically everyone can think of conventional tricks such as enhancing long-range shots and using set kicks.

The question is, can everyone think of it, can Pan Yi not think of it?
Now Arsenal often take the ball at the front of the penalty area, and players are forced over before there is room to raise their legs, and it is difficult to have a chance for long-range shots.

In terms of set kicks, Chelsea's defensive tactics were also applied very properly, leaving Arsenal no chance.

Faced with such a tight defense, even the experienced veteran Arsene Wenger failed to make effective moves for a while, and could only hope that the opponent made mistakes on his own initiative.

Of course, the advice to "be patient" makes sense.

This kind of stalemate between offense and defense is also a psychological test for both sides. Whoever can't bear it first and makes mistakes first will lose.

Therefore, Ian Wright hopes that the team will remain patient, and he is giving advice from a strategic level.

But with the current mental state of Arsenal, can they really keep playing with a normal heart? ...

Not long after, with the referee's two whistles, one short and one long, the first half of the game finally came to an end.

Wenger stood in front of Arsenal's coaching area, watching the sweaty players walk off the pitch one after another, he was very unwilling.

Arsenal had more advantages in the first half, created more chances, and got more good shots, but they still failed to break Chelsea's goal. How could he be reconciled?

The advantage of the game should have been established early, but now it was forced to a zero to zero, and the pressure in the second half was even greater.

On the way back to the locker room, he couldn't help kicking a mineral water bottle blocking him, and then found that the bottle was blocked by another handsome guy in a sports coat.

It was Pan Yi!

"Why are you so angry?" Pan Yi laughed.

Wenger was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Isn't this asking knowingly!

Attacking most of the court has no effect at all, and anyone will be anxious to change!
But he smiled instead of anger, and said to Pan Yi: "Just wait and see for the second half!"

Pan Yi snapped his fingers, "Seventy minus 45 is equal to...how much? Oh, you still have 35 minutes."

Wenger couldn't help laughing out loud: "Your math is taught by the physical education teacher? It's 25 minutes!"

Pan Yi also laughed: "Oh, yes, 25 minutes. You know, you only have 25 minutes!"

Wenger: "..."

Only then did he realize that Pan Yi was trying to remind himself of the so-called "Pan Yi's time in 70 minutes"!

This bastard!

Wenger shook his head, and didn't want to get angry with the kid, so he turned around and walked into the player tunnel.

I only heard Pan Yi shouting from behind: "Professor, your zipper..."

Wenger turned his head angrily: "I've already zipped it up! My coat is zipped up, I'm in charge!"

But Pan Yi pointed his finger down: "I'm talking about the zipper below, revealing your Arc de Triomphe..."
