Chapter 338 Wenger Listens to the Radio
Arsenal scoring goals is a big deal!
The current game made Zhang Yang understand why Arsenal lost to Barcelona in his memory. In the first half, they played with ten players. With one less player, the gap would be too big.

Arsenal's offense and defense are very unfavorable.

Barcelona's performance is actually very average, and they haven't reached the peak of the 'Dream Team II'. It can't be said that there are frequent loopholes in defense, and they are not very strict. But the important thing is that Arsenal has one less player than Barcelona!
That's the key!
There is still a long time to go in the next game. It is too difficult for Arsenal to beat Barcelona with ten players.

But in such a passive situation, the goal was judged in the vision of 'precognition', so when Lineker explained, Zhang Yang also began to speak actively, "Arsenal still has a chance!"

Zhang Yang's words made Lineker's pessimistic speech a turning point.

"We can see that in the past period of time, Barcelona played around Arsenal, but Arsenal was very tenacious, and the defense in the backcourt did not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Arsenal's ten men are fighting, and it is by no means powerless to fight back. If the game continues like this, I think it is Barcelona, ​​not Arsenal, that is in danger!"

"..."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, many people curled up their mouths, completely disbelieving what he said.

The same is true for Lineker. He and Zhang Yang exchanged glances, making sure that Zhang Yang is not a 'nervous and confused mind', and then continued, "Yes, we also hope that Arsenal will have a chance..."

This sentence is a bit soft, obviously lack of confidence, Arsenal is too passive on the main field.

Barcelona is still attacking non-stop. They besieged Arsenal in the half and scored the ball into the penalty area twice. Although they didn't shoot directly, the threat level was already very high. It seemed that they would complete the goal in the next moment. It all becomes natural, not impossible.

During the fierce game, Lineker kept explaining the game, and many people almost forgot what Zhang Yang said.

At this time Arsenal launched a counterattack!

Arsenal's counterattack was very quick, and they played through the half of Barcelona with such lightning speed. After Henry and Ljungberg cooperated, the football was handed over to Eboue. He dribbled the ball and wanted to wipe it Puyol, Puyol can only use foul interception.

yellow card!

Free kick!
Many Arsenal fans sighed with regret, and many people scolded Puyol for having no professional ethics. Such a good opportunity was blocked by fouls.

Of course, fouls are also part of the football game.

The Barcelona fans took a long breath. They felt that Puyol did the right thing and did a great job. A yellow card to prevent the opponent from scoring is the ideal exchange.

When Arsenal was preparing for a free kick, Zhang Yang reminded, "Barcelona must be careful! This is a rare opportunity for Arsenal after Lehmann was sent off. They will definitely cherish the opportunity!"

Henry takes the free kick.

Henry kicked an arc, and the football passed over the heads of the three defenders. Many people realized that it was actually a tactical free kick.

Campbell showed up at the drop point!
Campbell shook his head and attacked the goal ahead of Oleg!

"Goal in—!" Lineker uttered the loudest yell since the opening game. "Goooooooooooooal! Campbell! Campbell!"

"Campbell! Campbell! He is Arsenal's hero! Arsenal played with ten men, but he helped the team take the lead!"

"This is a set-piece coordination! Henry's penalty shot seemed to be a direct shot, but it landed in the center of the penalty area, which made goalkeeper Valdes very uncomfortable. He hesitated and didn't attack, and missed the opportunity to defend the goal!"

"Campbell, the veteran full-back who was the backbone of Arsenal's defence, and England's defence, proved once again that he is the best in the world..."

Lineker yelled continuously, approaching and praising Arsenal's cooperation, praising Henry's set-pieces and Campbell's performance. When he finished speaking all in one breath, he finally remembered Zhang Yang, and suddenly asked a little excitedly, "Zhang, how did you judge that Arsenal would have a chance?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I don't know that Arsenal can score goals. In fact, I'm just guessing: Analyzing the mentality of the players of the two teams and the situation on the field can give us the reason why it is easy for Arsenal to find opportunities."

"As I said before, Barcelona are always attacking, they have one more man than Arsenal, and it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of the mentality of 'we should score quickly', but Arsenal have one less man, and the defense is not affected much. Barcelona's eagerness to score goals can easily lead to holes in the defense."

"Arsenal's mentality is the exact opposite. They know they are passive, but in football games, the passive side often performs amazingly. They persisted. Even if Puyol stopped the counterattack with a foul, they still persisted. The purpose of coming down is to seize the opportunity, and only by seizing the opportunity can they possibly beat Barcelona..."

When Zhang Yang analyzed the mentality of the two teams, the fans in front of the TV all sighed "really powerful". They didn't believe Zhang Yang's judgment before, but Arsenal scored the goal first with one less player.

It’s incredible!
When everyone didn't think that Arsenal had a chance, they found an opportunity to score a goal. Before that, Zhang Yang was the only one. Besides, those so-called football commentators were not optimistic about Arsenal in various analysis.

The results now prove: "Zhang Yang's judgment is still credible!"

Many fans also left messages on the Internet saying--
"Watching a football game, you still have to listen to Zhang Yang's commentary!"

"Zhang Yang is just a guest, but he is much better than Lineker. Every time I hear Lineker speak, I almost fall asleep. When Zhang Yang speaks, I wake up immediately!"

"Listen to Zhang Yang, you are right! Don't question what he said!"

"10 minutes ago, Zhang Yang said that Arsenal has a chance to threaten Barcelona, ​​none of you believe it!"

"I never questioned Zhang Yang!"

"Zhang Yang is a professional! Zhang Yang is a professional! Zhang Yang is a professional! How many times do you need to be reminded before you can fully remember it!"

"..."

Immediately, the Internet was filled with all kinds of praise and admiration, as if Arsenal could score because Zhang Yang said they could score.

Zhang Yang may have this ability...ahem...but he didn't really use it. He has a good relationship with Wenger, but facing the match between Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​he definitely maintained a neutral attitude.

When Arsenal scored a goal, not only the fans thought that Zhang Yang was amazing, but the manager of BT Sports felt that it was worth the extra money. Although Zhang Yang was only a guest commentator and did not directly appear on the scene, the judgment just now will definitely be recognized by the major media. According to reports, they will definitely have to add a picture of Zhang Yang in the live broadcast room, and then it will be equivalent to indirectly promoting BT Sports.

Others are excited too.

The happiest thing was the entire Arsenal team. They celebrated wildly on the field. Coach Wenger also stood up and walked to the sidelines to hug the assistant coach.

In the camera lens, it can be seen that Wenger is wearing earphones. It is not a big deal for a head coach to wear earphones during the game. Many coaches have similar habits. The earphones are usually connected to the silencer. The noise on the field It is too noisy, and sometimes it becomes difficult to understand what the people around you are saying. The assistance of electronic equipment is very effective.

Others didn't know that Wenger was really listening to the BBC's live broadcast.

Wenger wasn't listening all the time, switching to silent mode when the game got tense, only listening for a few words when the game eased a bit.

Wenger only did this because he thought it was very interesting. It was really interesting to listen to Zhang Yang's analysis while watching the team's game.

Wenger heard Zhang Yang's judgment on the game.

"Arsenal will have a chance?" Even Wenger himself did not dare to make such a judgment.

Arsenal played too passively!
Barcelona have been suppressing the attack, they have control of the midfield, they have the ball longer, they pass more, attack more times, and threaten the ball more. Where is Arsenal's chance?
Wenger just listened to it, but didn't take it to heart. He didn't think at all that it was Arsenal who scored first.

This is too amazing!
How did this young Chinese man make his judgment?Maybe it's like what he said, just making judgments based on the mentality of the players on both sides?But what he said was completely unreasonable!
For example, two teams with very different strengths compete.

Just like the domestic FA Cup, occasionally there will be a confrontation between a wealthy team and a non-professional league team. The non-professional league team will definitely be suppressed all the time. Will there be a chance?
This young Chinese man was talking nonsense, but the point is that his judgment came true. Arsenal really found an opportunity and scored a goal.

Wenger just thought it was amazing, "Maybe it's his good luck!" No matter how he thought, he could only attribute the reason to luck.

This may be a cliché.

When many media talked about the success of Zhang Yang leading Millwall, they occasionally mentioned "luck" because they couldn't find the direct reason. Zhang Yang's ability to lead the team was affirmed, but a team with average strength How did the team persist in performing well and get the first place in the league?
hard to imagine!

Zhang Yang's ability to lead the team is worthy of recognition, but Millwall's victory must have some elements of luck, such as injuries during the season, outstanding performance of young players, etc., can actually be attributed to luck.

Now Zhang Yang judges that Arsenal have a chance to threaten Barcelona's goal. Even if it is the result of analysis, there are many uncertainties in football games, and no analysis is 100% accurate. Analysis makes a correct judgment, use' Luck can't be an overstatement.

When Wenger thought so, he listened to the discussion between Zhang Yang and Lineker in the headphones.

Zhang Yang talked about Wenger, "I know Wenger, he is a person with a good personality, I also like his coaching style, he is worth learning from."

"Under Arsene Wenger's leadership, Arsenal's style is more practical. It is said that Arsenal play offensive football, but in fact, in many games, they will also focus on defense, not all of them have achieved offensive success. victory."

"Arsenal's style is actually more practical. In the current game, Arsenal has one less player to fight, but their practical football also makes it difficult for Barcelona to play. If Barcelona does not control the ball, or the frontcourt If there is a mistake, they have to be extra careful."

"Arsenal is good at capturing opportunities. Wenger may have expected the goal just now. He will tell the players how to play in unfavorable situations."

"This is very important. We can see that Arsenal did not panic because of the lack of one player. On the contrary, the more they played, the better..."

Listening to the voice in the earphones, Wenger twitched the corners of his mouth. What the Chinese said seemed to be true, but why didn't he know that he also told the players to "play in an unfavorable situation". The players performed well on the field, completely It is the fighting spirit that hopes to beat Barcelona!
Wenger was not in the mood to refute Zhang Yang, maybe he felt that there was no need to refute, because what Zhang Yang said was very nice, and he liked to listen to it anyway.

Arsenal fans love to hear it too.

When they heard Zhang Yang praising Wenger, they all felt 'it should be', "It turns out that the biggest contributor to the goal is Mr. Wenger!"

Zhang Yang didn't know what Wenger and the fans thought.

In fact, he said that these are just about football-related topics. Football live broadcasts are also programs. Commentators chat with guests, and they also talk about topics that fans are interested in.

Neither side scored again in the first half.

When the time passed 10 minutes, Barcelona bombarded Arsenal indiscriminately in the half, but in the end Arsenal still defended the goal, but the situation was not happy. Arsenal didn't seem to have much ability to fight back. Their The counterattack failed to threaten Barcelona again, and the good news is that they held on to their lead.

When the time came for the halftime break, in addition to commercials, the TV screen would also display images of the live broadcast room. The freedom of Lineker and Zhang Yang's commentary also increased.

This is also the time period with the most degrees of freedom.

Degree of freedom, that is, free play, Zhang Yang, as a guest, must conduct a series of analysis of the game, and Lineker has become an assistant to guide the conversation between the two.

Zhang Yang analyzed the game, emphasizing that Arsenal 'can't just focus on defense', "Defense is very important. Arsenal has one less man, but leads the score. They must defend well. But at the same time, they must counterattack well."

"Barcelona is one of the best offensive teams in the world. Their cooperation is beautiful and lethal. The players in the frontcourt are all top-notch. It was a very difficult half."

"Although Barcelona didn't score in the first half, they will definitely step up their attack in the second half."

"Whether Arsenal can win depends on whether they can find a balance between offense and defense..."
