Chapter 754 Bunker Tactics

In 10 minutes, the two teams were tied. Although Real Madrid's offensive was surging, they were still unable to overcome Arsenal's defense.

During this period of time, Wenger sat calmly on the coach's bench with his hands in his pockets, as if he had a plan in mind.On the contrary, Lippi was a little anxious.

Lippi stood up several times, and by the 32nd minute, he had even walked to the sidelines and kept yelling something towards the court.

No wonder he was in a hurry. Today's game was played at the Bernabéu Stadium. The home court was huge, and he had the momentum to kill the opponent with all his might. Who knew that he was still in a hurry. Could he not be in a hurry?

And if you attack violently, it will consume a lot of physical strength. If you continue to attack like this, even Lin Yu, a physical monster, can't stand it, let alone other players, so after three or 10 minutes of attacking, Real Madrid's The offensive also began to wane.

Seeing Lippi's appearance, Wenger felt a little more balanced. He was booed, scolded, and criticized just now, and he felt uncomfortable. Now that Lippi is so anxious, he finally found a little balance.

In any case, as long as he can withstand the onslaught of Real Madrid, he will have a chance to counterattack. He believes that his players can do this.

……

As a head coach, although it is necessary to be calm, sometimes you can’t be too calm or too calm. If you don’t respond to the team’s performance, how will the players feel?They may think that you think that winning or losing doesn't matter, and they may think that you think this game is not important, and then lose the fighting spirit to move forward. [

Therefore, it is not harmful for Lippi to show a little anxiety when the team does not score, otherwise, the players will really think that he is planning to give up the game.

Lippi looked at the court.Frowning slightly, the current situation is very unfavorable to Real Madrid. Although on the surface, Real Madrid has the advantage in attacking, but after the onslaught is over, there are problems in all aspects of physical strength.If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be problems.

He turned his head and glanced at Wenger who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, secretly said: "This man is really stable enough, doesn't it mean that he really doesn't want to win at all in his heart?"

Lippi was wrong, it's not that Wenger didn't want to win.Instead, they saw the actual situation clearly, so they made a tactical strategy of defensive counterattack.

Have to say, this is a beautiful decision.

At the beginning, Conte wanted to play against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, but ended up in a disastrous defeat. That was a lesson. Probably Wenger also watched the video of that game.

……

no doubt.Although Wenger's tactical changes have been questioned and criticized, the effect is actually very good, because at the end of the first half, the score changed, but it was not that they were behind, but Real Madrid was behind.

Although this goal, there is a bit of luck.When the defensive Pepe passed back to Casillas, he actually headed the ball directly into his own goal, but after all, he led 1-0 in the away game. This was Wenger's first-half victory!

Now the problem is on Lippi's side. There are only 45 minutes left for him. He must let the team overtake the score in these 45 minutes, and he must win as many goals as possible, because Arsenal already has an away game. Goals, if you can't win a few more, then the second round is not safe enough.

This task is really difficult to complete.Or it is very difficult.

It is also because of this that when the halftime break went to the passage, Lippi had an expression on his face, looking very upset, but Wenger was wearing a faint smile.He was even talking and laughing happily with his players, as if "the mast and scull disappeared in smoke while talking and laughing".

The so-called sloppy media once showed their characteristics. They criticized Wenger before, and even some media commentators who spoke too harshly changed their words one after another.

After all, this is beyond their control. Wenger was able to keep his team without conceding a goal in 45 minutes of the away game, and even scored a goal for Real Madrid. This is not easy.

"Arsenal came from afar, but they won the confrontation with Real Madrid in the first half. At the end of the first half, they led Real Madrid 1:0! This may be something that many people did not expect. Now we seem to be able to understand Wenger's good intentions."[

"There is no doubt that if this score can be maintained until the end of the game, it will have a very significant impact on Arsenal's promotion. Perhaps because of this victory, they can advance to the semi-finals!"

"Wenger really deserves to be a famous coach. In the first half of the fight, he won Lippi! He won with a surprise, and used a defensive counterattack that he is not good at to give Lippi a sudden attack. This may be the royal team. The reason why Madrid was relatively passive in the first half! Not only failed to score a goal, but also scored an own goal. It depends on whether the second half can be equalized. But for Real Madrid, this game is less win than loss , if you can’t win by a big score, the second round will be difficult!”

……

During the intermission, Lippi lost his temper. He rarely lost his temper, but once he did, it was really scary.

"Are you proud? Satisfied? Don't want to make progress? Do you think that if you win a Juventus team and win the Serie A championship, you can be the enemy of the world? No one cares about it anymore?"

In Lippi's view, Real Madrid's problem is not a tactical problem. If it's just a tactical problem, Arsenal's so-called defensive counterattack tactics can't stop Real Madrid's attack at all. After all, Real Madrid is very good at breaking dense defenses. good at.

He believes that Real Madrid's problem is still a psychological problem, which is just pride!Satisfied!I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick!

On the other side, in the Arsenal dressing room, Wenger was smiling like a spring breeze.

"Boys, you did a good job in the first half, now take my word for it? Don't be afraid of them, we are leading by one goal now, as long as we can maintain the state of the first half, then it is not impossible to win the second half Even if we can't score, we can accept this score!"

"They didn't score a goal in the first half, so they must be very anxious now! So after the second half, we still have to defend, and we have to defend better than in the first half! Wait until they get anxious. They are going to work hard, red eyes, we If we launch a surprise attack and score one more goal, our advantage will be greater!"

"You have to remember that although the home court has a great advantage, it is also a huge pressure. Once you can't score at home, or fall behind for a long time, the support of the fans will become pressure. At that time , Even if no one scolds them, they themselves will feel uncomfortable! So don’t worry, don’t rush in, just take your time and torture them slowly!”

"The goal in the first half was their own goal, but it was also forced by our players, so don't worry, don't panic. Although their offensive line is strong, their defensive line is obviously not monolithic. There are always openings. Opportunity! Believe in you, you will definitely win!"

……

Although Lippi was furious and scolded the players, it was just an appetizer. Even if he could scold again, it would be impossible for him to win this game, so we still have to win in terms of technique and level!

So after scolding someone, he still needs to make some encouragement and tactical arrangements.

"Actually, the game has progressed so far. Wenger's intentions are already obvious. He just wants to make you anxious, make you make mistakes, and then use counterattacks to expand the score! This is what we used to do before, nothing new! So I hope you don't make mistakes because of nervousness. Even if you want to attack, you have to be methodical and steady. Wenger adopted the bunker tactics. He used solid defenses against us, just like bunkers, trenches, defenses on the battlefield Fortification!"

Listening to Lippi's words, the Real Madrid players nodded thoughtfully, because they also felt that the situation in the first half was just as Lippi analyzed it.

"Bunkers, trenches, and various fortifications are good, and they can be defended firmly! But we have aircraft and cannons! We have tanks to open the way! What are you afraid of? They have bunkers, and we will blow them up! Lin Yu! Ronaldo! Bell! Listen up, you three! You are Real Madrid's planes and cannons! You have to completely blow up Arsenal's defenses in the second half! While other players make sure to defend, try to give them three maximum help! I I still don’t believe it, Arsenal is not a team that is good at defense, so are we really afraid of it?”

"I want you to understand that if you fail to score goals late, it is like failing to destroy the opponent's towers on the battlefield, which will cause a lot of casualties! And this is reflected on the court, that is, your emotions become very unstable, leading to A lot of mistakes and loopholes, and then the opponent scored!" Lippi glanced at Lin Yu, and continued: "So it is necessary to score as soon as possible in the second half, Lin Yu, do you have this confidence?"

"Don't worry, coach, if you can't score in the second half, I'll see you soon!"

"...Hahaha, it's not that serious, it's not that serious! It's over! In short, you must score as soon as possible, you know? If we can't win at home, then we will be more passive when we arrive at the Emirates Stadium, and facing such a team A team that doesn’t want to make progress, if you lose, you’re probably going to lose your face, right?”

In Lippi's view, the Bernabéu match, whether it is a draw or a defeat, is unacceptable and must be won. This is not only a matter of victory or defeat, but also a matter of the team's fighting spirit The problem is, once the game is flat or lost, the morale of the players will definitely be affected after the game. He has been a coach for so many years and fully understands this truth.

"In the first half, we adopted a lot of bottom crosses, but the effect was not satisfactory. Merdesacker's air defense ability was quite good, and Lin Yu was tightly controlled again, which led to his header disappearing. The sharp and too violent offensive before compressed Arsenal's defense, which led them to even return players like Ozil and Giroud, which is really a very troublesome thing!"

"So in the second half we have to change a little bit. We have to lure the enemy deep, give them the illusion that they can counterattack, lure them out, and then use the speed advantage and short, flat and fast passes to pierce their defense! In addition, Lin Yu, Ronaldo , Bell, you can try more long-range shots. I know the long-range shooting ability of the three of you best. Even if you can't score, you still have to put pressure on the opponent's defense. If there is a problem with the fortification, it can always create an opportunity!"

……

"It never occurred to me that Real Madrid fell behind at home. The current score of 0:1 probably makes Lippi and his players anxious."

"Wenger's move is considered a strange move. He actually adopted a defensive counterattack tactic that he is not good at, and Arsenal's players have also done a very good job. Now it seems that this game is really not what people imagined before the game. That's one-sided."

"If Real Madrid lose at home, then the quarter-finals will be in the air. Not everyone can crush Arsenal now, not to mention that the next round will be played at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal There will be more advantages, what should Real Madrid do? Can they get out of the current predicament?" (To be continued...)
