The Ball at Your Feet

Guard of the Gunners in the fourth and fifth quarter

Updated: 2013-06-18

"After a while, I will get married."

Before the game started, in the player channel, Patrick Vieira announced loudly to the Arsenal and Liverpool players, "Anyone who I send an invitation should not be absent. Everyone!"

Vieira's marriage has been rumored for a long time. His love object is a divorced woman who is nine years older than him, and a 15-year-old daughter. Such a marriage has also been discussed by the outside world.

Sometimes, Zhao Yaning would maliciously guess: Could it be said that Wenger has a hobby of collecting young people, and the Arsenal captain finds an older one. This is also a kind of neutralization?

But in this case, I can't say it. This is too hurtful, Zhao Yaning didn't want to cause trouble.

"Speaking of it, aren't you going to give Patrick a little gift?" Pires was still aside, "How about letting us win? We won this game, and we can take a break in the next game, and you can also take a break. a bit."

"Yes, we finished the league and played for Manchester United in the FA Cup final. It would be good for us to win, right?" Lehman also laughed.

"It's not as good as you let us two games, and then, we won the game, there is no worries, and the Champions League also strives for honor for England." Hypia also laughed.

"We really don't care about the honor of England... dare you say you don't care about the contradiction between Liverpool and Manchester United?" Vieira replied.

When talking about provocative nonsense, Zhao Yaning also noticed that Fabregas's expression was not very good. Obviously, he was a bit dissatisfied with Vieira's words that he didn't care about the Champions League results.

Maybe he is really a very ambitious player. Zhao Yaning has also heard about it. It is no secret that Wenger wants to build Arsenal's new lineup around him and Van Persie.

This season, Arsenal fell behind in the second half of the season. In addition to Henry's injury, another reason is Arsenal's discordant voice from the locker room to the tactics.

Both Bergkamp and Pires are in trouble with their contract renewals: Bergkamp has no requirements, salary is not a problem, and does not require an absolute main position. He only has a one-year contract. But the problem is that he is 36 years old after all. Wenger thinks he can only play 20 games a season. If he renews his contract, his age will not be the main player, and it will squeeze young people’s living space. Whether to renew the contract will be too late. There is no reply.

In addition to him, Pires was also the same person who couldn't get a contract renewal. The 32-year-old Pires asked Arsenal for a two-year contract, but Arsenal insisted on the practice of signing once a year, and Pires refused to accept it.

In addition to the two of them, Edu announced in advance that he would leave Arsenal, which also caused a lot of discussion.

When it comes to tactics, the biggest problem is the serious incompatibility between Evra and Fabregas. Although these two players are very strong, when they are together, they can't produce the effect of 1+1=2. This kind of problem also makes Wenger a headache.

These exposed problems are also an important reason why Arsenal has become worse and worse.

In this game, Arsenal sent not all the main players. Although they are still 442, they have become a 4222 style of play. There is no change in the defense, with Vieira and Silva at the double midfielder, Fabregas and Pires at the double front midfielder, and Reyes and Van Persie at the double forward. Although it was the opening of 4222, it is estimated that Reyes's style of play is also going to be on the side. After the opening, it is estimated to be 4231, but I don't know how it will be arranged.

Henry and Ljungberg were injured and neither played, while Bergkamp was a substitute, not because of contradictions, but because he is too old after all and should be rotated appropriately.

Liverpool side, it can be said that the main lineup. Goalkeeper Dudek, the back line is Riise, Carragher, Hypia, Finnan. In midfield, Liverpool used double defensive midfielders Alonso and Gerrard this time, while Zhao Yaning was in the middle, Garcia was on the right, and Kewell, who had come back from a long illness, played on the left.

As for the forward, Liverpool started with Militos this time. In this game, Morientes is on the bench and Barosz is almost recovering from injury. After all, the Champions League is a big deal, and Milito has to maintain his form, so Morientes is on the bench.

By the end of the season, Liverpool's lineup, on the contrary, is rare and tidy in a season.

And this game, from the very beginning, Zhao Yaning felt completely different from the previous game.

In this game, Arsenal clearly arranged tactics against Zhao Yaning. Silva's appearance obviously came from Zhao Yaning. Vieira and Silva were defending Zhao Yaning almost every moment, making Zhao Yaning's play extremely difficult.

"Arsenal was much tougher on defense in this game. Vieira spared no effort in marking Zhao Yaning, and Silva was also very good at not meeting his shortcomings. In this game, Zhao Yaning's breakthrough was obvious. not good enough."

At this time, Zhao Yaning was not blocked by Vieira and Silva. Although Vieira's stalking is really troublesome, Zhao Yaning is not going to be prevented from death by him. But at this time, Zhao Yaning was thinking about how to attack the opponent better.

Garcia and Ashley Cole face up, basically no need to count on him. Although Ashley Cole and Chelsea have had a serious scandal, and even fined by the FA because of private contact, he is still a very professional player. He will definitely work hard when he plays. And his level is indeed something Garcia can't handle.

And Cowell...

Kewell's skills and abilities are indeed very good. It can be said that they are the best in Liverpool except for Zhao Yaning. Excellent ball ability, ability to pass, can pass, can organize, these advantages are not possessed by other Liverpool players. It is precisely because of this that, although he has been injured and stopped, there is almost no good time, but as long as he recovers from his injury, he will immediately be able to occupy the main position, relying on his outstanding ability.

However, he just returned from injury, how can he have the ability to single out the back line of defense?

And Milito... Campbell is here, and it's hard for him to play too well.

Considering it for a long time, I still have to do it myself.

A kick kicked the ball to Gerrard behind him, and Zhao Yaning started to run to the right. Gerrard passed the ball back to Alonso behind him.

The continuous back pass made Arsenal's lineup a bit of a forward pressure. At this time, Alonso made a long pass and gave the ball to Garcia.

The first time Garcia received the ball, he gave the ball to Zhao Yaning. At this time, Zhao Yaning had leaned on the running position to get out of Vieira. When he received the ball, he directly raised his right foot and padd the ball to the left with the outer instep. Then after catching up, he continued to take a step to the left, relying on his speed to completely get out of Silva's supplementary defense, and this time, he did not turn around and broke into the penalty area, but handed the ball to the front. Cowell, who responded, then ran directly into the penalty area.

Silva defended Kewell, but Kewell made a through kick and sent the ball to Zhao Yaning's feet in the penalty area.

It's much more convenient to get inside the restricted area. Although Kolo Toure blocked it for the first time, Zhao Yaning gently moved the ball back, and then his body shook, relying on a sharp change of direction, and squeezed from Kolo Toure's side.

At this time, Campbell also rushed over. Zhao Yaning took a step forward, which was a small restricted area. In any case, Campbell had to stop him. At this time, Lehmann also attacked and watched Milito, and it was impossible for Zhao Yaning to find Milito.

But Zhao Yaning did not excel. He kicked the ball out of the penalty area, and Gerrard shot the ball directly from a long range!

Vieira, who protected the front of the penalty area, took a step slower and could only watch the ball fly towards the goal. But at this time, Campbell suddenly turned around and raised his leg to block the ball. The ball drew on his thigh, making a muffled noise and bounced. Lyman held the ball in his arms, but at this time, Campbell also fell.

It's probably a thigh muscle strain, Zhao Yaning said in his heart.

He did not expect that Campbell would raise his leg like this to block the ball. Campbell is a traitor in his mind-at least, Spurs said so, and the English media also gave a very poor evaluation of Sol Campbell. The transfer from Tottenham to Arsenal was not authentic enough. In the football environment of England, the transfer to a rival is basically a crime similar to treason. This also makes his evaluation really bad-but At that time, Tottenham was really too weak, and White Hart Lane was even ridiculed as Manchester United's three-way lane. It was a matter of time before he left. It's just that the team he went to was Arsenal before he was blamed.

However, during the game, Zhao Yaning also had to admit: Campbell's fighting spirit is indeed outstanding. And, more importantly, his abilities are indeed very powerful.

It can be said that he is the strongest defender in England over the past ten years-although his competitors will be Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher, Woodgate and others.

The body is tall, extremely strong, and has the speed of turning around that ordinary defenders do not have, strong one-on-one defense, decisive and tough feet. Such a defender is indeed very powerful. Although the media have consistently said that he is not good at playing against the wind and is not strong enough in spirit, as a defender, lack of spirit is better than a technical flaw. There are no shortcomings in his technology, relatively speaking ~www.ltnovel.com~ this is the most rare.

He is off, which means a lot to Liverpool. After all, Arsenal’s defensive line is missing a pillar, and Kolo Toure’s defense has a very big problem-he is a winger and not a long time as a defender. The defensive position can even be said to be amateur level. , Liverpool's set-piece attack is likely to play a big role.

At this time, Arsenal also made a substitution adjustment: Campbell down, Senderos up.

"Do you know who this Senderos is?" Milito asked.

"A guard, I don't know who it is." Zhao Yaning shook his head.

"He's a good defender. In Arsenal's youth training, Coach Wenger is optimistic about who will succeed Campbell." Gerrard replied, "From the perspective of Coach Wenger, it should be not bad."

Coach Wenger's vision, naturally no one doubted it. In the past two years, almost all of the people he bought have been amazing. Van Persie, Reyes, Fabregas, each of the geniuses, people have to admire the training and use of young players by Coach Wenger.

The same goes for this player named Senderos. Although several people on the court don’t know who he is, he is tall and he is valued by Wenger. It is estimated that his skills will not be bad. Maybe this is what Wenger values, the future Arsenal’s defense. The core figure, Campbell's successor? With Wenger's name, he will definitely be taken care of by others.

However, geniuses want to grow, where is so easy? Now that I have met a genius, I can't play it well.

Milito looked at him, then laughed after a long time, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether he is bad or not. In this game, I will make him bad."
