Chapter 67: Arsenal's Central Axis

On March 8, Arsenal ushered in the sixth round of the FA Cup, which is the quarter-finals.

Arsenal's opponent is Everton. In the draw, Arsenal needs to play away.

In this game, Wenger sent most of the substitutes to play, allowing the main players to get enough rest time.

For Wenger and Arsenal in the past, their condition was not good, and their state was not good. For this reason, the FA Cup became their only channel to win the championship.

Therefore, Arsenal continued to hit the FA Cup.

But today's Arsenal has the ability to compete for the championship in the league. At the same time, they defeated Bayern Munich away in the Champions League quarter-finals, maintaining a certain advantage.

In this case, a fool will compete for the FA Cup with the lowest gold content.

In the past, there was no way, but now we have to make a choice!

In this game, Lucky, Cazorla, and Suarez did not enter the squad at all, and were ordered to rest directly.

And most of the other main players are also sitting on the bench, watching the whole game.

Even if Arsenal fell behind, Wenger only symbolically replaced a few main players for a kick.

In the end, Arsenal lost to Everton 2:3 and were eliminated in the FA Cup.

Arsenal lost, but the fans were unimpressed.

Because they also know very well that compared to the FA Cup, there are still bigger championships for them to compete for.

 …

The next day, with almost no rest time, Arsenal played another game in the 29th round of the league non-stop.

However, since most of the main players have been fully rested, it did not have much impact on the game.

They played against Swansea at home in the round of 29.

Facing the challenge from Swansea, Arsenal showed an extremely tough offensive attitude at the beginning of the game.

Arsenal, with Lucky and Cazorla as the core, continued to carry out ground transmission, and scored four goals in 40 minutes in one pass.

Suarez scored two goals, Cazorla and Walcott scored one goal each!

Arsenal's offensive firepower is extremely strong.

Seeing this scene, the Sky Sports commentator couldn't help but sigh with emotion; "The Gunners have undergone a transformation. They are no longer a team that relies on a certain player or a certain person to win the game. Cohere together and use the strength of the whole team to defeat the opponent!"

"Such gunners are terrifying. They are a well-disciplined pack of wolves. Under the leadership of Kai, they slam down fiercely. Once they are bitten by this gunman's throat, they will not let go until the other party gives up. "

"We have said before that Arsenal's game is too beautiful and lacks enough blood!"

"Looking at the current Arsenal, they are not only bloody, but also cruel!"

Yes, Arsenal are brutal!

After scoring the sixth goal in the second half, Arsenal still did not stop the pace of attack.

Obviously they regard this game as a good opportunity to brush up their statistics.

It wasn't until the 80th minute that Arsenal scored the seventh goal that Lucky stopped this crushing attack.

Lucky could clearly feel that the Swansea players were on the brink of collapse, and if they really kicked these guys in a hurry, they didn't know what they would do.

So, give in when it's time to give in.

Wenger also made substitution adjustments, and he replaced the substitute for training.

Leading by seven goals, unless there is a miracle, Swansea will be able to comeback!

90 minutes passed.

In the end, Arsenal 7:0 Swansea, after Southampton, became the victim of Arsenal's gun again!

And this big victory also raised Arsenal's morale to the limit.

For the result of this game, Arsenal players are very satisfied.

Pure is to brush data.

Suarez completed a hat-trick, Cazorla scored twice, Walcott and Ramsey both scored.

And Le Kai also got two assists.

Today, Suarez leads the scorer list with a huge advantage.

And Cazorla tied with Gerrard for the top position in the assists list with 9 assists.

The third place is occupied by Lucky with 8 assists.

One Arsenal has won two of the top three places in assists, and an absolute top scorer list!

This shows from the side how sufficient Arsenal's offensive firepower is today.

With Suarez's goal harvester and Lucky and Cazorla's configuration of transporting shells, Arsenal's central axis is simply too strong!

 …

Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola's coaching staff are also analyzing Arsenal's game!

"Arsenal's central axis is stronger than us, we can only make a fuss on the wing!"

suggested an assistant coach.

But objections were quickly reaped.

"In the last round, we just played on both sides, but Kay made Robben and Gotze completely silent!"

"Kay is indeed a problem, but Robben + Ribery have a chance to break through Kay's defense!"

"We can't depend on the outcome of the game on probability, we need a clear answer!"

The members of the coaching staff were arguing.

Obviously, Arsenal's win at home to Bayern put a lot of pressure on them.

Guardiola also touched his shiny bald head and looked at the information in his hand.

As a world-class marshal who developed Tiki-taka and single-handedly assembled the Dream Three Dynasty, he is very clear about the core of "passing control".

Did Arsenal play pass control?

Yes! No!

In the past, Arsenal was definitely the leader in the transmission and control system, and even had the capital to be tough with Barcelona.

Both Wenger and Guardiola are very clear about what is the core of pass control.

But the current Arsenal is not playing pass control at all.

But it is not a defensive counterattack!

This feeling is very strange.

It is said that they are not playing pass control, but they do firmly control the ball at their feet.

But even if they can't control the ball, they can rely on the sweeping tactics in the midfield for defensive counterattacks.

And Wenger also started to use high position press!

Yes, this Arsenal team has done a good job pressing high.

The speed of grabbing is very fast, the timing is also very precise, and it can always form a situation where more players play less.

Combining these problems, Guardiola is a little confused.

The current Arsenal seems to integrate all these systems, but they are perfectly digested and run smoothly.

Arsenal's squad is definitely not top notch.

Perhaps their central axis is definitely the top of the Champions League!

But their other positions still need to be strengthened.

But Wenger froze to knead such a team together and maximize their potential.

Guardiola feels that even he cannot bring this Arsenal to this level.

If Wenger is given a stronger lineup, he should really be afraid!

Boom! !

Guardiola patted the table, and the members of the coaching staff who were still arguing before turned their heads and looked over.

Guardiola said; "In fact, we have no better way. Our central axis can't compete with Arsenal. There are only two wings that can be used. You are right. We can only continue to hope in Robben + Li. Berry can play enough!"

"At least from last season's performance, Kay has limited abilities when facing Robben and Ribery alone, but when the two play together, Kay's defense will also have problems."

"So leave these problems to the players and let them make up for it with their performance. We can't continue to give better instructions tactically!"

Hearing this, the members of the coaching staff smiled wryly.

Bayern Munich has always had injury problems this season, which also made it impossible for them to determine the main lineup in the first place.

But they didn't expect that the sequelae of the rotation would break out at this point in time!

 …

On the other side, the Kearney training base.

Wenger is also explaining tactics.

But this set of tactics is familiar to the players.

It's the 4-1-2-3 that played away against Bayern!

There is no need for Arsenal to change their tactics. They won the last game, which shows that this tactic is still effective.

Therefore, how to solve the problem is Bayern's share, and Arsenal only needs to continue to follow the experience of the last victory.

Of course, some details cannot be ignored.

"In the next game, we are likely to usher in a complete Bayern team!"

Piggy Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery all returned from injury.

This will significantly improve Bayern's lineup strength!

Wenger looked at Le Kai and said, "Robben + Ribery, can you guard against them?"

The other Arsenal players were also looking at Lucky with absolute trust in their eyes.

Le Kai took a slow breath and nodded seriously.

Even though he was still a little uncertain, the atmosphere was so strong that Le Kai couldn't shake his head.

"very good!"

Wenger clapped his hands and said, "Take a good rest during this time, I will try to reduce the amount of training as much as possible, you need to adjust your physical condition to the best in a short period of time, and welcome this UEFA Champions League quarter-final promotion match!"
