The Era of Emerald

ps: Those who continue to ask for recommendation tickets here said that free books do not require everyone to spend money, so it should be no problem to give more recommendation tickets, right?We are here to thank everyone~ Wenger has a lot of thoughts in his heart, and at this time his thoughts have long drifted to nowhere.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Wenger, who sat on the coach's bench without saying a word, with dull eyes, was obviously overwhelmed by Fiorentina's overwhelming advantage in the midfield, and did not play the role a head coach should have at all. .

At this time, we can see Wenger's Achilles' heel as a head coach, that is, when emergencies or accidents happen on the court, the professor is rarely able to come up with timely countermeasures, but just watched helplessly. The team was played at will by the opponent's little bit of flattening and rounding.

At this time, Wenger is more like a qualified spectator than a competent head coach!

If the Arsenal coach standing on the sidelines at this time is Capello or Ferguson, they will definitely run to the sidelines decisively and order the team not to continue to compete with Fiorentina for control of the midfield, and hand over the ball to the opponent. Bian switched to defensive counterattack.

If Wenger can position Vieira, who has an excellent overall view, as a counterattacker, and the Ice Prince can play a tactical fulcrum, allowing Anelka and Overmars to threaten Fiorentina's goal with speed, then Arsenal In this game, it is inevitable that there is no power to fight.It is a pity that Wenger, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai on the coaching bench, did not take any measures. He just watched helplessly as Fiorentina, who were more technically superior, pressed forward step by step and completely suppressed Arsenal back to their half. Don't take an inch!

After that, Fiorentina, who completely controlled the midfield, began to attack Arsenal's gate!

Facing Parlor's pressing, Redondo slammed the ball at his feet, and at the same time turned around lightly. He easily avoided Parlor's stealing, and then dribbled the ball past Parlor who was unable to catch up. .

Seeing this, Petit hurried forward to defend, but before he arrived, Redondo had already passed the ball to Ljungberg on the right.

After getting the ball, the Swede took two steps forward, and then immediately passed the ball to Zambrotta who inserted from the back, to see if he could use the advantage of numbers in some areas to break through Arsenal's left defense.

However, Winterburn, who was in charge of Arsenal's left defense, was quite stable at this time, and did not give Ljungberg and Zambrotta a chance to break through. After all, the Arsenal left back was an old man in the Graham era. Regardless of the ability, the defensive ability is definitely quite reliable.It can be said that the reason why Wenger was able to quickly break Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League champions after becoming the head coach of Arsenal is that the five veterans of the defense left by Graham are definitely indispensable!

Back to the game, Zambrotta found that Winterburn in front of him didn't show any flaws, so he didn't choose to force a breakthrough, but passed the ball back to Ljungberg who came up to meet him-after all, in the game Before the start, Capello also specially emphasized to them in the locker room that this game should be played as patiently and steadily as possible. When you get the ball, don’t rush to break through or attack, control the rhythm of the game, and wait for Arsenal. If there is a flaw in his defense, he will kill the opponent in one fell swoop!

In this way, while allowing the Arsenal players who were trying to steal to exercise their muscles, the ball was passed around by the Fiorentina players in the midfield, which made many fans feel a little confused. Not planning to attack tonight, but going to play dog ​​walk?

Capello, who was standing on the sidelines, nodded appreciatively when he saw the performance of the players.According to his analysis, Arsenal's advanced offense is based on accelerating the pace of the game, which can be seen from the advancement speed of several of their attackers.

Parlor and Overmars are the kind of wing assaulters with excellent skills and speed. It is common for them to dribble the ball all the way for tens of meters; Anelka's speed is also not slow, which The breakthrough ability of the combination of French new stars and the ball can already be regarded as first-class; coupled with Bergkamp, ​​who is at the peak of his career and has not degraded hard indicators such as speed, Arsenal's overall offensive speed It can be called horror!

Although Fiorentina's frontcourt attack is not slow, but unlike Arsenal's pursuit of the overall advancement in the fast-paced offense, Viola's speed is more reflected in the cooperation between several players in the counterattack, plus Multi-level three-dimensional counterattack tactics.In terms of absolute speed, Fiorentina is actually not as good as Arsenal.

Therefore, Capello's approach to deal with Arsenal, in addition to the fight for control of the midfield, has another point, that is, to completely slow down the rhythm of the game, and Arsenal must not be allowed to easily lead the rhythm!

For the Fiorentina players, they have long been accustomed to various game rhythms. After all, in Serie A, the highest level stage in the world, there are so many head coaches who think about tactics every day, and there are no strong tactics. Adaptability is obviously impossible to gain a foothold in Serie A.

Therefore, whether it is playing fast or slow, for Florence, there is really no difference.However, for the Arsenal players who are accustomed to the fast pace, this slow pace of the game makes them feel extremely uncomfortable, and this makes it difficult for them to exert their full strength in the game; at the same time, being suppressed in the midfield Under such circumstances, Bergkamp, ​​Anelka and others had to retreat more to the midfield to ask for the ball, and the two were far away from the penalty area, which greatly reduced the defensive pressure on Nesta and Stam.

Moreover, since Fiorentina has much more possession time than Arsenal, this means that Fiorentina will attack more times and create more shots.

Facing Fiorentina's tide-like offensive, Arsenal's players had to further compress the defensive formation, try to protect the penalty area and its front area as much as possible, and try to use the iron barrel formation to resist the opponent's attack.

Faced with this situation, it was naturally Vieri and Effenberg's turn to use strong attacks and long-range shots to tear Arsenal's tortoise shell open!

In the 16th minute of the game, Redondo used a Marseille maneuver to get rid of Petit's press, and then heeled the ball to Effenberg in an extremely concealed way. An angry shot with the right foot!

Although Seaman is already a 35-year-old uncle at this time, he is not as old and dizzy as in the Korea-Japan World Cup a few years later, and his competitive state is still maintained at a very high level. Ge shot this powerful and heavy ball, and safely blocked the ball beyond the goal line with both hands!

The only fly in the ointment is that Seaman, who made a successful save, did not confiscate the ball, but blocked the ball back into the penalty area-this is also impossible, with Effenberg's long shot Power, Seaman really didn't dare to make such an action, because it might lead to some unforeseen consequences.

Uncle Seaman’s omission happened to be caught by Ronaldo, and the alien who saw the ball bounced back into the penalty area immediately rushed to prepare for a follow-up shot. Keown, who was in charge of marking him, was not Ronaldo’s at all in terms of explosive power. opponent!

In desperation, Keown stretched out his right leg from behind Ronaldo's side, glanced at the position of the ball, then kicked his left leg to the ground suddenly, and shoveled directly at Ronaldo!
