Chapter 298 Double Killing Arsenal

Millwall coaching bench.

Zhang Yang is also quite satisfied with Livermore's performance. He also talked with Wise, "David's performance is not bad."

"Yeah, he's growing up fast!" Wise said.

It's no big deal to put this sentence on a young player, but it's somewhat strange to put it on Livermore, who is at his peak age.

Zhang Yang nodded seriously, "He has improved the most!"

Zhang Yang was not surprised.

In the Millwall team, most of the players are still the same team, and most of them have no experience in the top league. This season in the Premier League, many players in the team have grown up, such as Braniff, Josh Simpson, and then Including Jody Morris and Darren Ward, they were only players at the British Championship level before. They participated in the Premier League consecutively and performed well. Naturally, there will be considerable improvement, but in the entire team, the fastest growing Or Livermore.

The previous Livermore had only one long-range shot.

This so-called 'long-range shot' is still the effect of 'spiritual bewitchment', otherwise Livermore can be said to be 'worthless', but it is undeniable that Livermore has the potential to become a world-class star, because His body is very strong.

Do not underestimate this!
There are many skilled players, but very few physically 'extraordinarily strong' players.

This is not something that can be exercised the day after tomorrow.

Maybe some people can become very strong through exercise, but that usually appears in the field of fitness, which is vain strength, not really strong. Through normal exercise, there is a limit to the growth of the body. The average professional player, early I started exercising, and reached my personal limit in my early twenties. No matter how much I exercise in the future, it will not improve much, and it will even decrease with age.

Livermore...was born!
He is no longer generally strong, but very, very strong. He is an Englishman, but he probably has the blood of a polar bear. It is difficult for even a Nordic man or an African man to compare with him. He has high physical strength and great strength. Players, as long as they have the level of 'equivalent to ordinary English super players', they are enough to become world-class stars.

for example.

C-Ronaldo is well known to passers-by. Many people's impressions of C-Ronaldo are outstanding skills and comprehensive abilities, but the most outstanding ability of C-Ronaldo is his excellent explosive power. When he dribbles the ball on the court , Often an explosion can leave the opponent behind.

That's not pure technology.

Football is a combination of technology and body, only technology without body, it is difficult to truly become a top star, and vice versa, to become a top star, technology and body must be extremely outstanding on the one hand, and average on the other up.

Livermore has a physical foundation. As long as his skills and coordination ability are slightly improved, the overall improvement will be huge. Round after round of league experience, Livermore's technology and coordination ability have been rapidly improved. Personal ability, performance Naturally, there will be a huge improvement.

Driven by Livermore's outstanding performance, Millwall's defense was very solid, and Arsenal were not given a chance in the first 10 minutes.

As the game continued to unfold, Arsenal coach Wenger's face became more dignified.

The situation of the game was as expected. Arsenal controlled the situation, even the midfield. The football was at the feet of the Arsenal players most of the time, but the opponent's performance was a little different. Millwall did not play against Arsenal. Instead of fighting head-to-head, they have been focusing on defense. The formation has shrunk very tightly. Coupled with the outstanding performance of the players, it is difficult for Arsenal to break through the defense.

Arsenal also found it difficult to play in attack.

Millwall's defense starts from behind the center line, from Livermore, Smiccher, Darren Ward, Wes Morgan, the football keeps rolling ten meters outside the Millwall penalty area, no matter how you pass or receive the ball , it is difficult to break through.

Meanwhile, Millwall's counterattack was sharp.

Whenever Millwall got the ball, Arsenal had to retreat quickly. Millwall's counterattack was too fast. Once it took six seconds to pass it into the penalty area. Fortunately, the central defender Campbell made a timely clearance. Otherwise, the opponent may get a single chance.

Football was controlled by Arsenal most of the time, and Arsenal also achieved suppression on the scene, but after a period of time, Arsenal seemed to be suppressed, because Millwall got more opportunities.

This kind of game scene made Wenger frown and at the same time made Zhang Yang's face smile.

His setup worked!

In this game, Millwall still adopted the 4231 formation. The two defensive midfielders ensured the defensive strength, and the central midfielder Smicer led the offense. The difference is that the formation is compressed backwards, leaving enough space for Darren Bent in the frontcourt. The basics of the game are defensive counterattacks, and the main emphasis is on defense, but there is only one word for offense and counterattack-fast.

UI!
The same is true of football games, but speed is also efficient, just like a bullet, no matter how powerful and fast it is, it is meaningless if it cannot hit someone. Darren Bent has the support of several teammates in the midfield, so it is guaranteed In order to improve the efficiency of the counterattack, the other players focused on defense.

That's how it's played against Arsenal.

A week before the game, Zhang Yang carefully watched the videos of many Arsenal 'losing' games, and found that playing against Arsenal in this way was the most effective.

Arsenal's offensive speed is also very fast, and their cooperation is also dazzling, but if they are able to score goals, they are actually not as good as Chelsea and Manchester United, because they do not have the kind of players who can score goals by relying on their personal ability.

There was one before - Vieira, but unfortunately Vieira left Arsenal.

Now, no more.

Even Henry is far behind in this respect. Henry is a very good shooter, but he is not the kind of player who can score goals in one-to-many. He needs the support of the midfielder to have a chance to make a final kick.

This is the flaw of Arsenal's lineup, and what they are worst at is breaking dense defense.

Millwall responded to Arsenal's offense with a dense defense, and then threatened Arsenal's defense with a fast break.

Now the effect is out.

Millwall seemed passive on the field, but got more opportunities in front of goal than Arsenal.

Arsenal's mentality is also a little unstable.

The last time the two teams played against each other, Millwall won, but the winning process was not easy. The impression of Arsenal players on Millwall is still in that game. They admit that Millwall’s efficiency is good. The strength is also good, but it is absolutely unexpected that Millwall can still perform well in the Highbury Stadium, and also played something different from the last time.

This creates a psychological gap.

This psychological gap also made the Arsenal players a little overwhelmed. When faced with Millwall's fast break, they didn't know what to do.

Is it a formation retracement?
Or keep going on the offensive?

When the game comes to this point, Vieira's importance is reflected. Last season, Arsenal will never have this situation, because all players will obey Vieira's command, and Vieira is the captain of the team. , is also the absolute core on the field, and its leadership role is difficult to replace.

After the absence of Vieira, Arsenal's military spirit is a bit chaotic.

Henry's prestige is not small, but he is only a forward. It is difficult for a forward player to become the captain, and it is even more difficult to command the field.

Fabregas was the replacement for Vieira.

Even the outside media know this. Wenger just wanted Fabregas to replace Vieira, and he has been focusing on training him. Fabregas has good abilities, and he is quite outstanding among his peers. Yes, but his prestige is not enough, and compared to the old players, his performance is not so outstanding.

Fabregas is too immature!

This also became a good opportunity for Millwall. In the 209th minute of the game, Millwall played a wave of smooth and fast offensive. The offense led by Smicer made six consecutive passes on the left side of the center, and quickly The pass caught Arsenal off guard.

"Millwall's fast break!"

"Look at this wave!"

"Gorgeous!"

"Danger--!"

Amid the shouts, the football was handed to Braniff.

Arsenal were caught off guard.

Campbell was defending Darren Bent, Toure was marking Smicer, and other defensive players had no time to defend.

Braniff drives the ball into the box!

When facing goalkeeper Lehmann, Braniff calmly chose to shoot. The football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Lehman made a correct save, but the football still flew past his fingers.

The ball is in!
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Kevin Braniff!"

"Braniff helped Millwall break the deadlock first! 0 to 1! Millwall leads the home team Arsenal away!"

As the commentator shouted, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger showed a wry smile on his face.

Arsenal's situation is a little unfavorable. Millwall's continuous counterattacks continue to threaten Arsenal's goal, but he did not expect that the goal would come so quickly.

Zhang Yang was not surprised.

After Braniff scored the goal, he just applauded and celebrated, not too happy.

According to the trajectory of the game, Braniff was unable to complete the goal, but with the "words follow", the situation was different, and the original trajectory was changed at that moment.

Braniff was at his best. His shot was powerful and angled. No matter how good the goalkeeper Lehmann was, it was impossible to save this shot.

----

The next game will be very unfavorable for Arsenal.

In a football match, the side that scores the first goal has a huge mental advantage, especially Millwall's focus is on defense. The players on the field will think, "We have a goal advantage, as long as we defend well, we can win. .”

The Arsenal players were diametrically opposed, "We must recover the score!"

The Millwall players have a calm mentality, while the Arsenal players have an anxious mentality, but when they are eager to do something, they often fail to do anything well. Before Arsenal failed to score a goal, after that they were obviously anxious and wanted to score. The ball becomes harder.

Wenger is aware of the situation, but there is no way to change it, because when they are behind, they must equalize quickly, so that they can overtake. He also hopes that Arsenal can seize the opportunity to equalize the score quickly, but reason makes them He chose to walk to the sidelines and made a posture of pressing his hands down to remind the players on the field, "Steady!"

Under Wenger's command, the Arsenal players realized the problem and played "steadily". While keeping the ball in check, they also took care of the backcourt defense and did not give Millwall another chance.

Both teams failed to score again in the first half.

When the game entered the second half, Arsenal was eager to equalize the score. As soon as the opening formation overwhelmed the halftime, it almost surrounded Millwall and bombarded the penalty area indiscriminately.

Millwall goals have also become dangerous.

Zhang Yang also got busy.

As the saying goes, "every defense must have a loss", Millwall's defense is not so tough, Arsenal's offensive threat is very great, and it is very difficult to defend.

No. 607 minutes, Zhang Yang predicted a goal.

It was a pass from Pires from the wing, Henry turned around and volleyed the ball, and the football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Zhang Yang will definitely prevent the goal from happening. He told his team members to stick to Henry's point. In addition, he also told the players on the right not to let Pires pass the ball easily.

This confession worked.

When Pires took a kick, Josh Simpson was worried that he would not be able to complete the coach's explanation, and even used a foul to prevent Pires from crossing. He received a yellow card for this, and Pires failed to pass the ball. .

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief seeing Arsenal resume their offensive from the wing.

The game is different from the "prediction" situation. It is not so easy for Arsenal to score goals. At the same time, Zhang Yang also lamented the game.

Arsenal sits at home, which can be said to occupy the 'time, place, and harmony'. Millwall's tactical response is not bad, but a goal depends on 'words follow', and defending the goal also relies on 'prediction'. If the opponent gets another chance, the 'precognition' may not be effective, and he has no effective means.

Without the assistance of supernatural powers, Arsenal must have already led the score.

The gap between the two sides is too obvious.

Winning this kind of game is really difficult from beginning to end.

The second half of the race has only just begun, and the last dozen or so rounds are the final stage of the sprint. Every game and every point is extremely important. If you want to win the final championship, you must get more points.

How can I get higher points?
Fighting game by game, the chance of getting the highest score is not great. The strength of the team is here. Even if it has supernatural powers, it is impossible to help the team win consistently.

So should it be appropriate to give up some games?

Zhang Yang thought about it.

Time passed quickly in thinking. In the blink of an eye, the game came to the final stage. Millwall did not score again, and Arsenal failed to recover the score. In the last 3 minutes, Arsenal gave up defense, and all three lines entered the frontcourt. Around the Millwall goal, a desperate bombing was launched.

Continuous crisis in Millwall goal!

But a crisis does not mean a goal, and Arsenal's luck is not very good. They hit the post with one kick, but no ball can break through Hislop's ten fingers.

0 is better than 1!

Millwall defeated Arsenal in an away game, took all three points from the 26 rounds of the Premier League, and continued to sit at the top of the Premier League.

"Double kill Arsenal! New Year's six-game winning streak!" Many media reported Millwall's victory in this way.
