Football’s First Defender

Although Arsenal, like Liverpool, are inclined to a technical offensive style of play at this time, the team's midfield configuration is all creative, and most of the technical players. In the field of football, teams with mostly skilled players are actually not very good at high-altitude ball defense!

Because there are too many technical players, they can only rely on the defenders to carry out limited marking when setting the ball. For those teams with many players who compete for high points, there is a complete opportunity to use the strong points to target the defense. Weaknesses to carry out specialized attacks!

Chelsea can actually continue to use the tactics against Liverpool in the Champions League and continue to beat Arsenal!

The physical fitness of the two teams is actually similar! Just played the second round of the Champions League knockout round one after the other! It's just different from Chelsea's exciting game against Liverpool!

Although Arsenal is basically at the bottom among the four giants of the Premier League, it is still very easy to play against a Spanish non-Real Madrid and Barcelona "civilian team" Villarreal!

In the second round, they easily won the game 3-0 at home and successfully entered the semi-finals. They also have the ability to replace a few generals in the final stage of the game to take a break to deal with this FA Cup match!

Although Hiddink himself wants to continue to use the mature tactics he used to deal with Liverpool, especially on the offensive end, he will continue to take advantage of Ivanovic's high-point header by taking advantage of set-piece opportunities!

It's just that under the advice of the team doctor and physical trainer, Hiddink had to give up this idea!

For a player like Ivanovic who was in a sheep-herding state at the beginning of the season and almost only played this stage of the game, the continuous high-intensity combat, especially the huge energy invested in both offensive and defensive ends, also makes Ivanovic couldn't get back to peak form in just a few days!

Although on the offensive end, the tactical impact of set kicks may not be great, but on the defensive end, facing Arsenal's French player Nasri, who also performed exceptionally well this season, Ivanovic's physical fitness may no longer be enough. Support him on the defensive end and make the best interception!

Hiddink, in the end, chose to be on the safe side and let Bosingwa, who has a balanced offense and defense, start the right back position in this game!

The central defender is still the combination of Yang Feng and Terry! Facts will prove everything. Although the number of instances is not so sufficient, but conceding 3 goals against Bolton in two consecutive games and conceding 4 goals against Liverpool all happened after the stable combination of Yang Feng and Terry was split. Hiddink is now Of course, continue to use this pair of players who look more stable!

The left back is still the same Ashley Cole for thousands of years! The goalkeeper is Petr Cech too! Although Cech's poor performance in the last Champions League game, Hiddink still chooses to trust this goalkeeper who still plays stably most of the time! And these days, many wealthy clubs don't have the habit of Tuen Mun generals. There is still an order of magnitude difference between the main players and the substitutes. Naturally, there is no show operation used by the league and cup rotation goalkeepers!

In the midfield, Malouda, Ballack, Lampard are the main attackers, Essien and Mikel are the two main defenders, Chelsea's five tiger generals in the midfield!

The striker is still Drogba, who has been in hot form recently!

The formation of 451 is Hiddink's performance in seeking stability in this final!

After all, there has been no name in the finals since ancient times. Since Hiddink has this solid defensive lineup in his hands, he will naturally not directly fight against the offensive-loving Arsenal!

Chelsea is going to use their own defense to completely consume Arsenal's offense, wear down the offensive will of the Arsenal players, complete the defense, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack and strive for a one-hit kill!

In this final at Wembley Stadium, Chelsea's core offensive points are only two, one is defensive counterattack, and the other is set-pieces!

If Chelsea is really behind, Hiddink also has Anelka, Kalou, Deco and other offensive players in his hands, and he can change his tactics and strengthen his offense at any time!

In this game, Wenger knew that Chelsea's defense might be solid, but he had to stick to his offensive style of play, because of the offensive and defensive battle, maybe his team was 4 or 6!

But if he rashly changes his team's offensive routine and chooses to seek stability, Wenger feels that his team's winning percentage may still drop!

With the injury of the main goalkeeper, Arsenal did not accidentally choose No. 2 goalkeeper Fabianski to start the game!

On the back line, Arsenal's solid 4-man defensive team is still there, with French international Sagna at right back, Kolo Touré at center and Alexandre Song at center, Clichy at left back!

The midfield position, the core Fabregas needless to say, and the wing ace Nasri, the Brazilian Denilson (not the Betis Denilson), and Walcott who is also good at speed!

In this game, Professor Wenger naturally knew that Chelsea's central defense would be very tight, so the targeted tactics were to rely on the player's speed and personal ability to focus on the two sides!

The striker options are Bendtner and Arshavin!

Adebayor and Van Persie are on standby on the bench!

Bendtner at this time is somewhat similar to Real Madrid's Morata later. Being in a wealthy team, he has shown outstanding talent since his debut, and among forwards of the same age, he is at the top level of ability!

However, in the development of the team, it has fallen into a bottleneck period, but it has been too late to break through and become a real superstar figure!

But at this time, Van Persie has not yet grown into the "General Fan" in the future, and Adebayor is placed on the bench by Wenger to calm down at this stage because of transfer problems! Bendtner, at least at this time, his shooting skills and ball handling ability are all worthy of use!

And his partner Arshavin, after moving to Arsenal, also performed well. For a technical school team that also pursues possession of the ball, Arshavin's integration into the team is still very fast and smooth!

Now Arshavin may need an earth-shattering performance to prove that his superstar performance in the European Cup is definitely not a flash in the pan!

Yang Feng also took a look at the Premier League schedule. If the history does not change, Arshavin will play the peak performance of his career in two weeks. He will complete four shocking performances at Anfield, making his excellent performance, Become a permanent memory of the Gunners fans!

Now Yang Feng only hoped that Arshavin would never use himself in this match again! After all, it's just an FA Cup match. Yang Feng in his previous life really didn't pay attention to it, nor did he know about it, let alone a die-hard fan of Chelsea and Arsenal, and he didn't know who would win the championship according to history!

Although Yang Feng participated in this game, CCTV thought about it and still did not buy the rights to the FA Cup! In the face of the FA's resolute attitude of tying sales and refusing to purchase a single game in the FA Cup, CCTV had no choice but to give up!

But there is no shortage of money. Emerging online media are competing with traditional media for viewers. In the face of CCTV’s “inaction”, online media swarmed directly. In the end, a certain wave bought the broadcasting rights with a huge sum of money. , although the number of netizens at this time is actually not too many, the advertising sponsorship received by a certain wave is far less than the copyright fee he spent, and he dare not directly adopt the charging model. The development of the company's sports media for more than 20 years, layout and initial investment!

Regardless of the situation in China, many senior fans are at home, in Internet cafes, or go out to gather in places with projections, ready to continue to cheer for Chelsea and Yang Feng!

With Yang Feng firmly established as Chelsea's absolute main force, Chinese fans finally don't have to look forward to Yang Feng's appearance in the game like they did at the beginning of the season, looking forward to the stars and the moon!

It's another battle between red and blue. At 0:15 BJ time, at Wembley Stadium, the 2019 FA Cup final will start as scheduled!

"The FA Cup final of the 2008/09 season, at Wembley Stadium, has begun!"

"Arsenal in red, this game sent a 442 formation, but a little different from the past, this game, Arsenal also sent Nasri and Walcott, two fast horses on the wing Starting the game, you must know that these two players have been dismantled and used by Professor Wenger before to ensure that Arsenal can always guarantee the suppression of the wing during the game!"

"The change in this game may be to completely suppress Chelsea's two wingers' attacking attacks at the opening stage of the game. While ensuring Arsenal's own team's offensive firepower, using their own offense can also be more powerful. One step to limit the opponent's offensive threat!"

"As for Chelsea, the 451 formation is also very defensive, and Essien and Mikel played at the same time, two midfielders with excellent defensive attributes!"

"It looks like this will be an offensive and defensive battle! Both teams want to rely on their unique tactics to bring out the strength and characteristics of their respective teams in the final!"

"Arsenal took the lead in the kick-off. Cesc Fabregas directly organized Arsenal's attack at the beginning. After receiving the ball, he directly made a long pass to find the space behind Ashley Cole on the right!"

"Walcott thrusts directly behind Ashley Cole!"

"It's just that, although the first attack in the opening game was played suddenly, Ashley Cole is considered an experienced defensive player, and he was obviously well prepared!"

"Using his body to firmly block Walcott's forward path not only prevented him from starting at full speed, but even after increasing the scale of his movements, Walcott didn't even have a chance to touch the ball, and was directly caught by Ash. Licole gave way to the bottom line!"

"Goal kick for Chelsea!"

In fact, Hiddink was a little surprised when he saw Arsenal's starting lineup. They had thought that Wenger would dare to directly use two-sided forwards to attack their own defense line!

Although the speed of Nasri and Walcott is indeed their huge advantage, the advantage in speed is actually a disadvantage in physical confrontation ability!

Arsenal's average height is almost even lower because these two wide players are playing at the same time!

In particular, Diaby, who does not have defensive attributes, may be the best in Arsenal's formation, allowing Denilson and Fabregas to directly play double midfielders!

A Brazilian or a Spaniard, no matter how active they are in running, they will definitely not be able to achieve the defensive effect of a full-time defensive player on the defensive end!

This is a life-saving style of abandoning defense, or self-confidence and strong offensive strength, which can guarantee the suppression of Chelsea, so that Chelsea will not get too many offensive opportunities!

Hiddink was really nervous about whether his defense on the two flanks could last, and he was also thankful that in this game, the right back chose Bosingwa, who did a better job on the defensive end!

But Hiddink is even more confident in his team's offense! He believes that even under the tactics of a single striker, his players can find good opportunities in counterattacks and positional battles, and create good opportunities to hit the goal!

"Cech's big-footed pass went directly to the half, look for Drogba!"

"Alexander Song's physical confrontation ability is his greatest advantage when facing the attack of other players, but now facing Drogba's challenge for the top, this time his disadvantage is very obvious!"

"Drogba performed his fulcrum role excellently and gave the ball to Ballack who was nearby!"

"When Ballack gets the ball, go straight forward!"

"Denilsen's defense alone, facing Ballack's dribbling, is somewhat helpless!"

"A player like Ballack, who has seen all kinds of worlds, will definitely find the most suitable offensive method in the shortest time during the game. Facing Denilson alone, Ballack will not only protect the ball, but also stand up. Arms crossed, within a reasonable collision range, almost staring at Denilson as he advances!"

"De Nilson is waiting for his teammates to step forward to help defend! During this process, Ballack has already advanced several meters away!"

"Clichy finally stepped forward! Because Malouda was attacking on the left, Chelsea did not have a direct offensive player on the right! This time, Chelsea's right defender Bosingwa did not get in in time to attack! "

But Barack was unafraid! Because of the direct long pass from the goalkeeper, Chelsea's offensive formation did not fully keep up at this time, and there were not many teammates who responded to Ballack in an effective offensive position!

The only two people were almost locked by Arsenal's defense!

"Balack continued to dribble the ball alone. Even though Clichy and Denilson completed the double-teaming, Ballack used his absolute physical advantage and still wanted to rely on turning around to gain space for the earth to continue to break through!"

"In the end, the referee whistled for Clichy's blocking foul!"

"Give Chelsea a free kick in the frontcourt!"

"Although it is far away from the goal, there is almost no possibility of hitting the goal directly, but Chelsea can fully use their height advantage to create a header advantage in the penalty area!"
