The Ball at Your Feet

In the first leg of the Champions League, Real Madrid challenged Arsenal, which was soon staged at the Emirates Stadium.

For this game, Arsenal are fully prepared. Goalkeeper Fabianski, and at the back are Sarnia, Toure, Jurou and Gibbs. In the midfield, they are Alexander Song, Bell, Nasri, Fabregas, and on the front line, they are Van Persie and Adebayor.

This lineup looks like a 442, but in fact it is also a deformed 451. After all, Van Persie's playing characteristics can be said to be quite flexible. If necessary, he can also switch to the midfield line to get the ball. His position in Barcelona is roughly equivalent to Bergkamp’s previous position, because with Adebayor, he can play quite calmly.

Such a lineup, for Arsenal, although not the strongest, but it is quite strong. Arsenal’s Galla was injured. Arshavin was unable to play because he played in the Champions League, but everyone else could play. Especially the veteran Van Persie and Diaby are able to play, which is very good news for Arsenal.

But even so, they are still not favored.

And this is not without reason. At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid had the upper hand. They began to press and attack with the frequency ball, which immediately put the gunner's defense in a hurry.

"It can be seen that Real Madrid's strength is above Arsenal." Regarding this question, the commentator Lineker said his own views. "In fact, we can see through the comparison of the two sets of data. The gap between Real Madrid and Arsenal: Real Madrid's possession rate this season is about 60%, and their pass success rate when they play is about 85%. Arsenal's possession rate is almost the same as Real Madrid. , Both are about 60%, but the pass success rate is only about 75%-it can be said that Arsenal's passing ability is a grade worse than Real Madrid."

"I remember right, these two statistics, the highest this season is Barcelona. The ball possession rate reached 73%, and the pass success rate was close to 88%. However, when they faced Real Madrid, Barcelona still lost. ." said Alan Hansen, who was partnering with him.

"Yes, at that time, Real Madrid won, but still did not have the advantage in possession. I think this is also when Arsenal played, and they should learn from Real Madrid at that time-what they need is to learn. How do you fight back."

Although Real Madrid this season seems to be less pressing than Barcelona's playing style, but in terms of playing style, it is still biased towards offense, and at the same time has a lot of possession of the ball. After all, the team that controls the ball can give the players a lot of autonomy. This is in line with the requirements of Zhao Yaning and Ibrahimovic. They are all people who need to play according to their own will. Let them have a higher autonomy. Of course, they happy. Moreover, such a formation is easier to add new players in rotation, making the team more flexible and even more efficient, which is also of great benefit to a team like Real Madrid. After all, everyone knows that Real Madrid loves to buy newcomers, and it is not a year or two. Ancelotti's arrangement is also for future consideration.

In La Liga, no one mentioned Real Madrid's ball-handling ability, because La Liga also has a more perverted Barcelona. 73% possession of the ball, this is a rare abnormal level in football history. Compared with them, Real Madrid's 60% possession rate is nothing. However, when they met Arsenal, Real Madrid's advantage was seen. Arsenal is the best offensive team in the entire Premier League. They have always been the most proud offensive team in the Premier League since they switched to possession from the 0708 season. However, compared with Real Madrid, their possession rate While not dominant, the pass success rate is 10% worse. How terrible is the 10% pass success rate gap? With a 90% success rate, Harvey is touted as the world's number one organizer by Barcelona. And an 80% pass success rate can be achieved by any team's backcourt player who can pass the ball well. The difference between a person is so big, you can imagine how big a difference in the success rate of a team's 10% pass.

For a long time, Real Madrid players' ball-handling ability is not very good in everyone's impression-at least the main attribute of the player type is not here. Compared with other aspects, this aspect is not Real Madrid's advantage. However, the changes in Ancelotti's tactical play in silence have made great use of Real Madrid's advantages in empirical tactical competence and strong personal abilities to obtain a smooth attack for this team. How to play. In the first half of the season, because the main opponent was Barcelona, ​​this change was not obvious, but after defeating Lyon, the whole world stared at this team and saw their changes. Real Madrid is still an extremely advantageous team when it comes to an ordinary team.

Ancelotti's reforms in Real Madrid have been a rare success. Although he can say that he has made a lot of reforms, let Raul change positions, let Guti play as a substitute, changed positions for Ramos and Pepe, and renovated the entire team, but he has Still received very good results.

In a sense, Raul's support is indispensable. As the captain of the team, Raul has always played a positive role in this change. He has been working hard for the team's changes to ensure the stability and unity of the dressing room. It is with his support that Real Madrid's current style of play is available.

In this game, Real Madrid's lineup is much more dazzling than Arsenal. On the forward line, Real Madrid is the Ibrahimovic single striker. On the midfield, there are Ribery, Raul, Zhao Yaning, on the midfielder, Yaya Touré and Pepe, and on the back, there are Marcelo, Cannavaro, Ramos and Yi Vanovic, the goalkeeper is still Casillas.

"Speaking of it, there is a very interesting place." Looking at this lineup, Lineker couldn't help but laugh. "Yaya Toure, Zhao Yaning, Ibrahimovic, all have been rumored with Arsenal. When they played, the first choice they chose was Arsenal, not other teams. Zhao Yaning was born in Monaco, and Yaya Toure’s brother is still playing at Arsenal. Ibrahimovic had already arrived at Arsenal. At the same time as the physical examination, they also took photos of Arsenal jerseys... But now, they have all stood on the opposite side of Arsenal and are facing Arsenal."

"If that's the case, there are Cristiano, Drogba, Essien, and Pique, all of whom Arsenal have inspected and quoted, but in the end they were not able to get players. Arsenal have really been the last few years. It’s too bad to be dragged down by the stadium. All the players they fancy have no money to buy. In the end, they have played less than a year. If they can't win the championship this season, then they will have no championship for four consecutive years. ...This time, but it's a bit longer."

Arsenal’s prolonged downturn has a lot to do with their poverty. After all, the team cannot bring in good players without money. Wenger has a good vision, and the people he likes won’t come, either. There is no alternative. Speaking of it, many people at Arsenal are choosing to take a step back, and it is really not the same thing as Real Madrid, a team that is rich in money and can be bought by anyone.

In this game, Real Madrid also quickly told Arsenal that they were reluctant to make money. They have always been operating on a small scale. What a pity there is.

After a few passes from Real Madrid's midfielder, the ball reached the foot of Yaya Touré in the backcourt. Toure took a look at Fabregas in Arsenal's midfielder, and rushed up with the ball himself-for him, Arsenal's midfield defense is really not enough. Such an opportunity is just for him to show his ability. Good time.

Fabregas rushed up, but Yaya Toure turned away and blocked him behind him. Although Fabregas kept trying to find opportunities to grab the ball, his body and Yaya Toure Lei is so bad that he has no chance to grab the ball.

This also made Yaya Touré drove straight forward and rushed up immediately. At this time, Ibrahimovic had also retreated outside the penalty area, and at the same time, the three attacking players had already been inserted together.

Yaya Toure gave the ball to Ibrahimovic, and behind Ibrahimovic, Zhulu had come to defend. At this time, Arsenal's defense already had a loophole, but Ibrahimovic did not choose to pass the ball. He squeezed Zhu Lu behind him, adjusted his physical condition, suddenly turned around, and squeezed Zhu Lu behind him.

Then, Ibrahimovic, who got the chance, shot directly and blasted the ball to the gate!

Kolo Toure leaped forward, stretched out his foot, and blocked the ball from the baseline. Ibrahimovic's attack was unsuccessful, but it still drew awe in the stadium.

"The physical gap is too obvious." Lineker sighed. "Wenger can make up for the lack of tactical awareness by relying on tactics, but the difference in physical condition cannot be made up by tactics at all. Asia. Ya Toure and Ibrahimović are not relying on skills to play at all, but are completely crushing Arsenal with their bodies. If this continues, how can Arsenal win?"

The biggest problem for Arsenal is young. Being young makes their physical fitness really impossible to compete with better players. If they meet a normal team, they may resist, but when they meet players like Ibrahimovic and Yaya Toure who are known for their physical strength, it will be very difficult for them to play.

This is Real Madrid's biggest advantage: relying on their physical strength, they can very well make Arsenal suffer.

Moreover, Real Madrid has more than one advantage. When Zhao Yaning stood on the corner kick, the chaos in the penalty area also showed how great Real Madrid's advantage was at this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I hope Arsenal will not lose points in the set-kick defense...but look. It doesn't seem to be easy! "

Zhao Yaning's corner kick came out, but fortunately, Arsenal defended this time and pushed his ball out without anyone breaking the goal.

At this time, Bell, who had won the football, had already taken the ball and quickly hit it. His speed immediately made the Arsenal fans cheered-maybe, Arsenal still has some hope?

"Obviously, Arsenal still have the ability to counterattack. They saw what they should do and found a good way to counterattack. Bell's speed can guarantee his counterattack ability. Now, let us see how Real Madrid plan to come. What about counterattacks against others?"

ps: 75% pass success rate, which is the true level of Arsenal in the 0809 season. The 80% success rate mentioned earlier is 0405 Chelsea. The 85% success rate for Real Madrid is based on the passing success rate played by An Fat in the first season of Chelsea. Barcelona's 88% is the peak data. Generally speaking, more than 55% of the ball control advantage in football is obvious. When it comes to 65% of the ball, it is basically completely suppressed. The ball possession rate of 73% is Barcelona's pinnacle data, and it is indeed very high. However, Barcelona's statistics are actually somewhat watery. When encountering a strong team, their ball possession rate is around 60%.

In addition, An Fat’s speculation in the book is an offensive style of play. I looked at the national derby. The second half of the game was about the same as I estimated. However, it does not rule out the influence of Barcelona’s change of anti-reverse coaches. More. But in the first half...How soft is An Fat? FP said a few words and threw the lineup that he had run in ten games to Bell...
