The Ball at Your Feet

: Section 681: The Gunners' Defense

He was beaten into another one.

Seeing that the score had become 3-1, Wenger couldn't help but curse.

He was naturally very dissatisfied that his own defense was kicked into such a virtue. He thought that the game might lose, and even he thought about it, it doesn't matter if he loses the game. But losing like this, this can no longer be described as pain.

Arsenal played very unstable this season, but at least they were able to double play Manchester United, score some good goals, and played a very amazing momentum in the game. Although when he met Chelsea, his defensive line was played a bit badly by Drogba, but that was just because the players were young and couldn't defend that Warcraft well. However, being kicked like this is something that is difficult to explain.

These guys in Liverpool caught the weakness and kicked the game, which really made Wenger extremely distressed. Especially the headed Zhao Yaning made Wenger extremely dissatisfied: He really regrets not buying Zhao Yaning back then. At least, if Zhao Yaning is taken down, even if he can't play at today's level, at least he will lose himself. A big enemy.

Bell was kicked into a sieve in this game. He has an inescapable responsibility for losing three goals. After this game, I'm afraid it will have a big impact on his confidence and progress. Zhao Yaning is simply destroying Arsenal's seedlings.

But compared to that, losing the game like this, being kicked so faceless is what makes Wenger feel more uncomfortable.

It shouldn't be like this, even without Henry and Vieira, it shouldn't be like this.

Although Wenger is complaining like this, he still knows very well in his heart that this game, the problem of the back line is still too big.

After Campbell was terminated, Wenger hired Gala as the leader of the back line. However, none of the four Arsenal players has an excellent overall view, a sense of replenishment, and a defensive organization ability. The four of them are very fast and all have excellent grabbing capabilities, but none of them has the ability to limit the level of close-fitting masters with rear defense organization.

Wenger originally thought that it didn't matter if there was such a thing. After all, there are not many defenders in the entire Premier League with a good overall view. The Premier League has a fast pace and strong confrontation, even if there is no good overall view, it is okay. But Wenger has forgotten a problem. Defence needs a system. Even if there is not enough overall view, most teams still have someone who can command the defense behind.

For example, Liverpool is a typical example. Liverpool’s defense line is led by Carragher. Although Carragher does not have a strong overall view, his ability to organize and defend and mentality are obvious to all. In every game, he stood on the back line, shouting defense loudly, his deputy captain's identity was high enough, and when he was on the court, his voice was loud and tempered, he made everyone afraid to leave him The position, the existence of such a character, is a great help in maintaining the defense line.

But now Arsenal, who can scream for the back line of defense? Touré? His qualifications are old, but he is not that temperamental. Gala? His salary is high, but his qualifications are low. As for Eboue and Bell, not to mention, the two little guys are still unfamiliar.

A somewhat angry Wenger walked to the sidelines and shouted Gala to his body. After a few words, he was allowed to return to the arena again. No matter who it is, it is clear that Wenger has made the arrangement on the court.

But at this time, what else can they do? 1-3 behind, how do they make a comeback?

When it was surprising, Wenger's arrangement was actually very simple: he let Arsenal's line of defense go to the premises.

After being suppressed by 3-1, Arsenal moved their defense forward.

What's even more incredible is that Arsenal's seemingly desperate approach has really achieved an excellent effect. They really played against Liverpool successfully at this time.

"It's incredible. Arsenal's defense has already had a problem, but at this time, they are actually playing very well."

This is really a very strange thing. Liverpool has completely suppressed Arsenal, but Arsenal's seemingly desperate approach can have an effect.

"Actually, such a thing is not surprising." Watching Arsenal's game, Lineker opened his mouth, "Arsenal's peak period, that is, between 2002-2004, their defense and The goalkeeper's distance is between 20 meters and 25 meters. Now, because of their declining midfield strength, they pay more attention to defense. They moved the defense line back to about 15 meters away from the goalkeeper. This approach allows their defense to better control the incoming ball, but it also allows them to switch between offense and defense, which is prone to problems."

"Coach Wenger is a very good offensive coach. In Arsenal's training sessions, Coach Wenger is used to marking the direction of the players' positions with arrows of different colors on the grass. This makes his players always It is possible to have an extremely good tactical awareness. And speaking of this, Zhao Yaning of Liverpool spent his youth training in Monaco. The training he received was also the training routine that Wenger stayed there. This kind of tactical awareness training, He still has to thank Wenger a little bit, because this kind of training is really advanced, and it really has a great effect on cultivating players' tactical awareness." Lineker said of his own views, "Arsenal players There is no lack of offensive ability. What they lack is not defensive ability, but the ability to turn offense. And if there is any biggest difference between the Arsenal players and the past, the biggest change is that they are now In the backcourt, he can defend, but he can't hold the ball anymore."

In the past, Arsenal's backcourt had a group of excellent players. Vieira, Adams, Campbell and others all have the ability to take the ball calmly, not afraid of counter-robbing, and pass the ball calmly after getting the ball. This allows their backcourt to launch a counterattack very well after taking the ball, and it can also allow their defense to press on without fear of the opponent's on-site counter-grab. Such a defensive line is the key to Arsenal's quick counterattack tactics.

But now, Arsenal's defense does not have this ability. They were afraid to fight back on the spot, so they had to retreat to 15 meters from the goalkeeper, which is near the penalty area line. This gives the opponent a lot of space, and even allows the opponent to take a shot in front of the penalty area calmly. On the other hand, after they got the ball, they couldn't pass it quickly. Passing, a seemingly simple thing, is not so easy for a defender. With ten meters of passing distance, they often need to run two steps, or pass after seeing the pass, or even pass more. Read the full text of the chief chasing the little maid once.

And this kind of thing will naturally waste time, and the waste of time will naturally cause the slowness of the counterattack-this problem is actually the most serious flaw in Arsenal.

Wenger is not incapable of seeing this, but Arsenal are too poor and they have no money. Where can they get a world-class defender? Not to mention other people's, their own good defender Ashley Cole will be turned around because of the £5,000 weekly salary. Wenger has no money, what else can he do?

In this game, he watched as he lost anyway, so he might as well make a gamble. With this kind of ball, he naturally dared to play arrogantly, but at this time, Wenger was also wondering in his heart. The defensive line now relies entirely on anti-offside to defend, this kind of defense, no matter how you look at it, is very thrilling.

But this kind of defense is still effective. Soon, after Maicon’s pass was kicked out, Milito received the ball and the whistle rang.

"Milito is offside first... This foul is a bit inappropriate. It seems that he is also a little impatient."

Milito wasn't very impatient, but he couldn't help it. His speed is his weakness. Although he can break through, he is not outstanding. At his speed, if he turns around to catch the ball and then starts to break through 30 meters from the goal, he does not have the confidence to run past the opponent. Four guards with top speed. There is a Welshman and three black players on Wenger's defense. Milito sighs that the speed of these guys is not as good.

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also thinking about how to adjust his running position to complete a counter-offside.

He can rely on his own speed to counterattack and then try to score a goal, but Zhao Yaning is still reluctant to do so. Compared to doing it by himself, at this time, he wants to try to get his teammates to complete an offside counter.

Compared to anti-offside, what he wants to do more is to disrupt the defense line by relying on his running position and let his teammates complete the task of anti-offside.

In this game, he himself encountered no obstacles, but who knows what will happen next? Fully activate the teammates, the help to yourself is still quite big.

Therefore, at this time, what he was doing was also starting a run on the side road.

"Zhao Yaning didn't go to the middle...If he wanted to fight back from the side, it's not impossible, but why would he do it?"

Arsenal lacks air superiority. It is not impossible if Zhao Yaning gets off the flank quickly and then returns with a kick. However, such an approach will inevitably make people a little strange. After all, the success rate of the mid lane breakthrough looks like Not bad.

Is he just to score a goal in Bell's position and make Bell perform worse?

This idea ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ may seem evil, but it is also very possible. After all, Bell caused Maicon to lose face just now, and Zhao Yaning and Maicon are both from Monaco after all. Maybe it is really interesting to find face for Maicon. Zhao Yaning's continuous breakthroughs on the right wing has already made Bell faceless, but now this means that if he is not beaten to a complete facelessness, Zhao Yaning will not let it go?

"I doubt very much whether Bell will really lose his confidence in playing football completely after this game. Looking at the way he plays now, it really makes people doubt that Zhao Yaning will completely destroy his confidence. Senderos has been destroyed by Drogba, does Zhao Yaning want to destroy another Arsenal genius?"

At this time, Bell also had the same idea. No matter who it is, after being teased by a person several times, when that person reappears, he will be a little bit shy. Zhao Yaning also saw his state, which also made Zhao Yaning somewhat satisfied.

All you need is your confusion.

Zhao Yaning knew very well that Bell was confused. Generally speaking, when the players are defensive, the offside failure problem of the back line is caused by confusion.

If this is the case, then I would be too sorry for him if I didn't take this opportunity to take him.
