Chapter 232 It's too early to be happy
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is definitely called an old fox. He will not decide to do something on impulse. There is a reason why he chose to let Arsenal step up their offensive.

For most of the first half, Millwall's energy was on defense, and occasionally there were a few good counterattacks, but they didn't play much power, not to mention the frontal advancement. Their player coordination and ability, compared to Arsenal's Na is too far away.

This is what Wenger admires Zhang Yang.

Many of Millwall's players in various positions are only at the level of the British Championship, and they also have outstanding abilities, such as midfielder Morris, Smicer, winger Koncheski, etc., but they are in Wenger's eyes. In the league, he can only be regarded as an 'average player'. At Arsenal, he can only play as a substitute at most, but relying on this lineup, Millwall has won four wins and one tie in five league rounds.

This can no longer be described as 'amazing'!
When the league meets Arsenal, Millwall will be here. No matter how amazing their tactics are, the gap in strength will become a huge gap.

If Millwall played more loosely, such as increasing some offenses, Wenger would not choose to let the team continue to strengthen the offensive, because Millwall may pose a threat, but Millwall is focused on defense, so there is nothing to worry about.

Wenger's actions attracted a lot of attention.

Some media commentators also began to interpret the meaning of the action. The meaning of the action is actually very obvious. "Sky Sports" commentator Kean Sindel said, "Wenger's gesture is probably to strengthen the offensive. Goal done!"

Afterwards, Sindel talked about the situation on the field, "Arsenal's suppression advantage is great. Millwall has been defending all the time, but it is not easy to defend the goal just relying on defense."

Zhang Yang naturally understood this truth.

Even with the ability to 'predict', it is very difficult to completely defend the goal, especially when the opponent is Arsenal, relying on defense alone can only pursue a draw at most, so passively scoring a point is not what he wants .

Zhang Yang would not put all his chips on defense. Seeing Wenger stepping up his attack, he simply walked to the sidelines and waved at Morris who was looking over.

It was a commanding action that had been planned long ago, and the movement code was very simple. Swinging the arm outward was to increase offense, and swinging the arm to the inside was to increase defense.

Zhang Yang's movements were very small, and he only reminded Morris.

Morris is the captain of the field and the core player of the team. As long as he sees it, it means that the whole team knows it, and other players know what to do.

The meaning of 'increase offense' is vague.

With Millwall's current situation, it is unrealistic to suppress Arsenal in reverse, so we can only press the formation forward in the frontal advance, which will also increase the number of players who attack when counterattacking.

This is a gamble!
Arsenal need to strengthen their offense, and strengthening their offense means sacrificing their defense. Millwall's defensive pressure has increased, but it will also increase the offensive threat.

----

In this game, there is one position player that is very important, and that is Smicer, who started the game.

Smicer plays as a central midfielder, and Morris can retreat to play as a midfielder. Smicer has played for a wealthy team for a long time, and his personal ability and game experience are stronger than Morris. In the team, he has always been in an embarrassing position, often as a substitute player, and some are not taken seriously. His overall view is worse than Morris, and his physical fitness and confrontation ability are also weaker than Morris. In terms of comprehensive ability , The two are almost the same, but in the Millwall team, Morris can play a greater role, because he is the spiritual leader of the team, the organizer of the offense, and the most important core player.

But what is certain is that Smicer is enough to replace Morris.

In the previous few rounds, Smicer only started one game and came off the bench once. Zhang Yang was thinking of making Smicer more familiar with the team, but in fact Smicer’s position was also very awkward, because the introduction of Smicer Mitchell's purpose is to replace Morris. When Morris is able to play, Smicell either chooses to play as a full-back, or they can only play together in the middle.

After familiarizing the team with the new formation, Smicer had more chances to play.

Morris can pull back.

In addition, Smicer can also play other positions, such as left and right forwards, and his personal ability in the team is still outstanding.

However, Millwall's new tactics have high requirements for players to adapt to new positions. If they want to adapt to a new position, they need a new style of play. He is still getting familiar with it slowly. As long as he can fully familiarize himself with it, Millwall's side is not too worried.

In this game, Zhang Yang's request to Smicer is, "Go to the frontcourt and rely more on personal ability to find opportunities!"

This is tantamount to letting the players play freely.

Smicer smiled wryly after hearing this, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. His personal ability is good, but he also needs to be compared. Compared with the level of the team, he is indeed very good, but compared to In the entire English football world, he is only in the middle and upper reaches.

"Find opportunities by ability?"

This is a heavyweight entrustment, and generally only those players with excellent personal abilities will be trusted by the head coach.

he?
He's just a skilled veteran.

Smicer didn't say much, but nodded affirmatively. He knew that Zhang Yang was one-sided in the team, and Millwall's results also proved that the young Chinese's ability to lead the team is quite good. The other party's statement probably made sense .

So far, Smicer has not shown much.

This has something to do with Millwall's defense all the time. Smicer has a lot of experience, but he is not a player who is good at defense. In occasional counterattacks, Millwall also focuses on fast breaks. Smicer's speed In general, at the age of almost 33, it is also decided that he cannot rush too fast.

On the contrary, Darren Bent in front is very active.

In this game, the one with the lightest defensive task is Darren Bent. He is the only forward. The defensive task is limited to the front, looking for opportunities to cause trouble for the opponent.

On offense, Darren Bent is very active.

He always ran to the front, putting pressure on the defense, and at the same time, his teammates kept turning the ball over.

Darren Bent's football is quite menacing.

Whenever Darren Bent gets the ball, or cooperates with his teammates, or goes to break through to find opportunities by himself, it can put a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defense. Once he even dribbled into the penalty area and almost missed Finished the shot.

Darren Bent's performance also caused a lot of cheers.

Many Millwall fans can't help but have a higher opinion of him. Facing the strong Arsenal defense line, the average striker will not have a chance to break through alone. Darren Bent can still create threats. It's pretty good.

This time it was Darren Bent again.

When Arsenal completed a wave of offensive, central defender Wes Morgan made a clearance, the football went straight to the frontcourt, Darren Bent rushed to the position, and stopped the ball with his back against Campbell. Countless people gave thumbs up.

That's Campbell!

Campbell is not only the pillar of Arsenal's defense, but also a veteran of the England team. He is one of the world's top central defenders. Being able to compete with Campbell for an advantage is enough to prove the strength of Darren Bent.

After finishing the stop, Darren Bent glanced around, kicked back with his heel, and squeezed his turn to rush past Campbell.

Campbell has a lot of experience.

After feeling the strong force in front of him, he immediately knew what the opponent was going to do. Campbell tried his best to stay on the spot, only took a step back, and then quickly turned around, grabbing the ball side by side with Darren Bent.

Darren Bent had no choice but to split the side with one kick and handed the ball to Konchesky.

Konchesky passes to Smicer again.

The moment Smicer stopped the ball, he glanced back and found that Morris hadn't kept up. He stopped the ball and took a step forward, hesitating for a while.

Fabregas rushed over to fight.

Smicer suddenly remembered Zhang Yang's words. Zhang Yang asked him to go to the frontcourt and look for opportunities based on his personal ability when he had the opportunity.

"Okay, just try!"

Smicer also found it very interesting. When he was in Liverpool before, if he made a breakthrough in the frontcourt, he would definitely be blamed for conceding the goal.

All the players on the team are like this.

The new coach Benitez puts more emphasis on the overall concept, rather than relying on the individual abilities of the players. There is probably only one Gerrard who dares to make a personal breakthrough in the frontcourt. No one will blame him if he loses the ball. There is no such privilege anymore.

It's different now.

The young coach personally told him to do it!

Whenever he thinks of this, Smicer feels that joining Millwall is the choice to fight for, because he can freely display his strength.

Next, Smicer chose to make a frontal breakthrough. He threw the ball to the front left and prepared to forcefully rush past Cesc Fabregas.

Fabregas froze for a moment, he had no idea that the other party would do this.

The two are no strangers.

Last season, Liverpool and Arsenal played against each other twice, and Fabregas played both. He also had several confrontations with Smicer, but the latter all chose to pass the ball. Because of this, Fabregas felt that This time was no exception, but I didn't expect that the other party chose to break through.

The current Cesc Fabregas is not as mature and stable as he was later. When he was broken through, he couldn't react at the first time, and it was a bit late when he was ready to catch up.

When Fabregas completed his turn, Smicer had already pulled him down.

There were cheers from the Millwall fans at the scene. They were very excited to see their players break through their opponents. Even the stadium broadcaster Mike Johnson shouted, "Smichel broke through Cesc Fabregas! In the old In front of Smicer, Arsenal's young Spanish talent has become a soft-legged shrimp..."

Arsenal's defense is very tight, Smicer broke through Fabregas, Toure immediately ran over to defend, he and Fabregas double-teamed one after the other.

Smicer could only choose to rush to the right. He forced a breakthrough, and he would definitely be restricted if nothing happened. However, Smicer kept shaking his feet, and it was not easy to grab it.

Smicer noticed that Morris was plugging in, and he poked the ball forward decisively.

That's when Toure realized the danger.

Campbell defended Darren Bent at the back, Fabregas joined him to double-team Smicer, and with Gilberto Silva in the distance, it was almost impossible to stop Morris.

Toure made a decision in an instant. He lowered his body and rushed over, stepped on the grass, and at the same time as he stopped the football, Smicer also fell to the ground.

"foul!"

Toure innocently raised his hands.

However, his actions were too big. Even if he behaved innocently, the referee blew his whistle to suspend the game without hesitation, and then gave him a small yellow card for free.

Darren Bent ran over and pulled Smicer up.

The latter stood up helplessly, but fortunately he was not injured.

sidelines.

Seeing Toure's decisiveness, Wenger nodded in satisfaction and got a yellow card, but it was worth it to prevent Millwall from threatening an offensive.

Others see it the same way.

The location of the foul was about 25 meters away from the goal. Millwall is only a small club, but there are no outstanding set-piece players. Letting them take free kicks is better than taking corner kicks, so players still have a chance to earn some points.

Zhang Yang smiled.

Zhang Yang told Smicer to perform freely, but he didn't say it casually. Smicer's skills are good and he can rely on his personal skills to cause trouble for Arsenal.

That's enough.

It is not necessary that Smiccher can rely on technology to score the ball, but it is also a good result to be able to create free kicks in key positions. As for Millwall without a setter?
Arsenal were happy a little too early!
