Super Marshal

Seeing Manchester City's high pressure pressing fiercely, Wenger's eyelids jumped from the sidelines.

For his team, he knows better than anyone else, Arsenal's defense is very problematic.

In the last round of the game against Manchester United, in the case of an advanced goal, Arsenal's two goals in the second half were almost all due to player errors.

One was the goalkeeper Almunia who made a mistake and tripped Rooney who was single-handed. He was penalized and Rooney made the penalty.

Another is Manchester United's free kick attack. Diaby turned his back in front of the goal to grab the header, but the ball was pushed into his own goal and turned into an own goal.

Arsenal’s defensive problems are not limited to these two times. The goalkeeper Almunia is not reliable. The up-and-coming defensive Vermaelen seems to have scored a lot and has won the reputation of a knife-bearing defender, but the defense is still not impressive. rest assured.

Needless to say, the role of Alexander Song is crucial.

It is precisely because he clearly knows the problems of his team that Wenger dared not hold big in this game, adopting a more secure strategy, changing four or two, hoping to stabilize the position and grasp the defense.

From the beginning of the game, Gao Han is very clear about Arsenal's problems, so he grabbed the Gunners' back line and the goal to play, and frequently interfered with pressure. The purpose was to create pressure in the Arsenal backcourt and force the Gunners to make mistakes.

Under this circumstance, Arsenal’s entire formation had to be opened, especially the four wing players, who were more active in the two wing areas and seldom ran to the center in order to facilitate the passing of teammates. .

After the start of the game, Arsenal clearly overwhelmed the home team Manchester City in possession rate.

But Wenger faintly felt that something was wrong. Isn't it too easy?

As the team with the highest average possession rate per game in the Premier League this season, did they give up possession?

Wenger can only say that he can't think of any other reason except for Gao Han's intention to do so.

Why did Gao Han do this?

Wenger's eyes quickly patrolled around the court, hoping to find the answer to the doubts in his happiness.

He knows Gao Han and knows that Gao Han will never do meaningless things.

More importantly, Gao Han is more than just passing and controlling his style of play, his organization's ability to press, **** and oppress is also unique.

What does he want to do?

…………

…………

Compared with Wenger's focus, Gao Han looked quite relaxed.

Standing in front of the coach's bench of the home team, watching the game quietly, he looked confident and handsome.

"If you see it, it doesn't matter if you control the ball itself, it just depends on how you use it. It's like a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it hurts the enemy, and if you use it well, it hurts yourself."

Gao Han's words were a little unpredictable, Brian Kidd did not understand, but he knew Wenger.

"Over the years, Wenger has been committed to achieving a certain balance between the traditional style of the Premier League and the technical style of the mainland. Therefore, Arsenal's ability to pass control is unique in the Premier League. The players he has cultivated are also good. , Even for a defensive player like Alexander Song, the technical skills are not bad."

Gao Han nodded, he agreed with this.

"This philosophy of Wenger reached its peak in the 2003-2004 season. Those players in the team formed an Arsenal that can be called the pinnacle of Wenger's coaching. It's a pity..."

Having said that, Brian Kidd turned his head and glanced at Gao Han. The latter's innocent appearance made Brian Kidd smile helplessly, and said nothing.

It's just that Wenger was very unlucky. At the peak of the team, he encountered Alpine and the abnormal Chelsea he coached.

Chelsea that season was very similar to Manchester City now. Although the players introduced at the time were not as famous as they are now, it was later proved that many players including Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Ibrahimovic, In the end they all turned into superstars.

That is to say, in that season, Chelsea defeated Arsenal in two games, and ultimately left the Gunners with nothing.

This is probably the eternal pain of Wenger's coaching career.

If it weren't for Alpine, maybe he should have made a name for himself that season.

Gao Han felt very helpless in his heart. He knew what Brian Kidd meant, but how could he have thought that after the glory of the 2003-2004 season, Arsenal suddenly tightened their money and sold the captain continuously. The team's strength over the years?

What does this have to do with him?

Even if Wenger wants to complain, he can only complain to Arsenal's management. Who told them not to engage in good football, but to demolish the Highbury Stadium and engage in real estate?

As a result, as soon as real estate was launched, the European economy ushered in a crisis, and real estate became a loss-making business. It even affected the daily operations of Arsenal. They were forced to tighten money and continue to sell their leading stars.

"Alexander Song is really good. It is a midfield barrier, but Fabregas is more forward in order to better organize the midfield. Denilson and Dia are more active on the wing and rarely rush to the center. "

Gao Han's faint words made Brian Kidd's eyes bright.

The veteran coach who has coached for many years has a clear understanding of the tactical arrangements before the Alpine Games, and of course he can catch the signals revealed in the Alpine words at once.

"Beat two ribs!" After Gao Han said this heavily, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Let David Silva and Modric be in the front, increase the force of the midfield press, and pass to them as soon as they get the ball. As long as they don't lose the ball after they get the ball, they can Organize an attack immediately and kill Arsenal!"

…………

…………

As Gao Han walked to the sidelines and took the lead in making adjustments, Manchester City began to play more threateningly.

In the nineteenth minute, Manchester City midfielder Harvey Alonso made a long pass. Sturridge slid into the defensive line very quickly. After receiving the ball, he formed a single shot, but the referee called him offside.

But this time Manchester City's pass smoothly penetrated Arsenal's defense and formed a threat.

Just two minutes later, Manchester City once again had an excellent opportunity in the front court. Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly kicked the ball after getting the ball 25 meters from the front, but the ball was saved by Almunia to the bottom line and a corner kick. .

Modric took a corner kick, but this time Almunia calmly took the ball off.

Two consecutive waves of offenses have greatly excited the fans of the City Stadium and made Manchester City's offense more emboldened.

Gao Han also realized the opportunity on the sidelines, at least judging from the changes in the situation on the court, his adjustment was on the right path.

In order to avoid giving Arsenal a chance to breathe, Gao Han made a decisive attack. At the same time, he used the offensive card and the assault card, as well as the pass card and assist card, to form a combination card effect of leaps and bounds. Satisfied.

After half an hour of the game, Manchester City suddenly exerted force, making Arsenal a little passive on the field, especially after Manchester City stole the ball, always launching assaults from two points: David Silva and Modric.

Wenger realized the problem and immediately shouted out from the sidelines, asking Diaby and Denilson to reclaim the middle lane, helping to protect Alexander Song and Fabregas, and avoid dragging the last Alexander Song to fight.

But after three minutes of adjustment, Mascherano quickly passed the ball to David Silva after stealing the ball.

After the Spanish midfielder caught the ball with his back, he continued to pick the ball, and after avoiding Alexander Song, he passed the ball accurately behind Arsenal's defense and passed into the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo quickly slid into the penalty area and rushed ahead of Vermaelen. After receiving the ball, he made a push and sent the ball from under Almunia into Arsenal's goal.

"GOA!!!"

"In the thirty-fourth minute, Manchester City finally broke the deadlock on the field."

"The goal from Cristiano Ronaldo. This is his fifth goal this season, and it is also his goal in five consecutive games. The Portuguese's new season looks very hot."

"We saw Cristiano Ronaldo rushing to the sidelines quickly, **** to the sky, celebrating with the teammates who rushed over."

"This offense should be thanked by David Silva for his precise and wonderful pass, which is very beautiful."

"Of course, Benzema also has credit for containing Arsenal's central defender."

"From the slow-motion playback, Cristiano Ronaldo's start speed is very fast. Both Sarnia and Vermaelen were obviously unexpected and couldn't stop them even if they wanted to stop."

After Manchester City took the lead in breaking the Arsenal goal, the atmosphere of the entire city stadium became extremely enthusiastic.

When the players were celebrating the goal, Gao Han quickly walked to the side of the court and kept urging the players to return to the court and continue the game. At the same time, he also asked the players to continue to stick to the same style of play.

Soon, after the game restarted, Manchester City, who had a goal, played more confidently and more confidently. Whether it was a pressing and pressing frontcourt or an interception and stealing in the midfield, they all proceeded in a more organized and orderly manner.

On the contrary, Arsenal, after loosing a goal, some eager to counterattack, desperately trying to hold the ball, Diaby and Denilson still cling to the wing and rarely go to the center to support.

Only five minutes later, Manchester City created another opportunity.

After playing the ball in the backcourt, Modric withdrew to receive the ball, turned around and got rid of Fabregas, and moved forward quickly.

Alexander Song and Diaby quickly rushed to help, wanting to strike from side to side, but they did not expect Modric to suddenly pass with a diagonal kick and transfer the ball to the right.

Sturridge and Clichy competed for speed on the right. The England teenager obviously overwhelmed each other. After receiving the ball first, he drove to the penalty area. After attracting Almunia’s attention, he crossed the middle. .

At this time, Benzema, who had always been in ambush in the middle, rushed to his horse and easily pushed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal. Almunia couldn't reach the whip and watched the ball go into the net, two to zero!

"GOA!!!"

"In just five minutes, Manchester City scored another Arsenal goal."

"This time it was an offense from the right rib. After Modric got rid of Fabregas very cleverly, he moved forward with the ball, attracted defensive attention, and passed diagonally."

"Sturridge's speed is very fast~www.readwn.com~ Clichy couldn't catch up at all. He could only watch him enter the penalty area, and before the cross, the French genius Benzema broke into the game. The first goal since joining the Premier League this season."

"Two to zero!!"

"Manchester City has been playing very fierce offensively recently, and Arsenal's defense is a bit unstoppable."

"We can see that after Alpine conducted on-the-spot command, Manchester City's offensive has improved considerably, especially the two players David Silva and Modric, who have clearly begun to target Arsenal's ribs. Continue to launch an offensive."

"Arsenal looked a little unexpected for Manchester City's attack. It was very fatal to be beaten through the defense continuously."

"With the personal ability of Manchester City's frontcourt players, as long as the defense is broken, it is easy to score goals."

"Two to zero, Arsenal is dangerous now."
