The Midfield Master

(Welcome to join the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group:)

In the first five minutes, Xia Ze felt a little difficult to breathe.

The roar of 90,000 people, the faster pace than ordinary Premier League games, the opponent lineup that is almost at the top of the Premier League, and the experience of participating in the FA Cup final for the first time made him almost out of breath Come.

Xia Ze looked at the teammates beside him. Except for Gibson who was a little normal, the others, even experienced veterans like Jagielka, Howard, Barry or Captain Bynes, could not play in the first five minutes of the game. He seemed overly excited, even a little nervous.

Even the performance of the four of them was a little too excited, let alone a young man like Xia Ze. Because I stepped into the FA Cup final, I was so excited that I was running all over the field.

If you don't control the rhythm well, you may run out of energy in the first 60 minutes of the game, and you will be exhausted in the last 30 minutes and let Arsenal slaughter you.

On the other hand, Arsenal, although they had the disgraceful title of "eight years without a championship" before last year, but since winning the FA Cup last year, their players seem to have settled down a lot, and they played games on the court at a leisurely pace , allowing Everton's players to rush in the first five minutes, they just kept their rhythm from being disrupted.

There is a reason why their players can be so calm. After all, many of the players on the Arsenal field have won championship honors, participated in the finals of important competitions, and coupled with years of experience in the Champions League. Fulton's players are comparable.

Ozil won the league championship and the Copa del Rey in Real Madrid, and won the World Cup with the German team last year. He is already a world-class star and has seen all the big scenes;

When Sanchez was in Barcelona, ​​he followed the team to win the La Liga championship, the King's Cup championship, etc., and is also the core figure of the Chilean national team.

With such two big stars on the field, plus other players who have already tasted the taste of the championship, and played in the FA Cup final, they naturally know how to play in the final.

Although Everton stormed Arsenal's defense in the opening stage, they failed to threaten the opponent's door. However, in the sixth minute, they were counterattacked by Arsenal and almost knocked on their door.

Sanchez's shot bounced off the post, and the Everton fans were in a cold sweat.

"Steady, don't rush to attack, slow down the rhythm!" Martinez looked at his panting players, knowing that the situation was not right, he hurried to the sidelines and shouted.

"Xia Ze,

Slow down the tempo, don't rush to attack, there are 9o minutes in the game! "Gibson took advantage of the dead ball and walked up to Xia Ze and said.

"Hold on, don't worry!" Captain Baines and Barry and other experienced players also knew that the team's rhythm was out of control, which is not a good thing, so they all spoke up to let their teammates stabilize the rhythm.

Hearing the shouts of his teammates, Xia Ze also took the initiative to adjust his breathing and slow down the rhythm. He was not in a hurry to attack, but sorted out the midfield.

"Sandy, speed up the pace and control the midfield!" Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger saw Everton taking the initiative to slow down the pace, and immediately walked to the sidelines to direct his disciples to make changes.

Seeing Wenger's gesture, Cazorla immediately understood what to do. With a move with both hands, he immediately called his teammates to strengthen the pressing force, and when Everton was about to slow down, he suddenly increased his speed, allowing Everton to follow his team's plan. Rhythm.

This trick really worked. The Xia Ze who wanted to breathe a sigh of relief were attacked fiercely by the Arsenal midfielder headed by Cazorla. They were immediately unable to pass the halftime and were quickly robbed of control of the midfield by Arsenal. past.

Arsenal took the opportunity to attack Everton's goal. Ozil, Sanchez, Ramsey and Bellerin all made a fuss on the edge of the penalty area.

The center Giroud is in the penalty area against Everton's central defender, so that Everton's defense does not dare to move too far.

In this way, possession of the ball fell completely into Arsenal's hands, and the rhythm of the game seemed to slowly fall into their control.

"It seems that Everton's tactic of trying to grab the start was unsuccessful. Instead, Arsenal controlled the midfield. Now this rhythm is the favorite of Arsenal players. If this continues, Everton will be in danger." Although Zhan Jun He is not good at tactical analysis, but after decades of commentary career, his judgment of the situation on the court is also extremely accurate.

"That's right, I think Arsenal seemed passive in the first few minutes of the game. I guess it was done on purpose by Professor Wenger. The purpose was to wait for Everton's attack to slow down and suddenly change the rhythm of the game so as to seize control of the midfield. Right. From the current point of view, this tactic is very successful. And Martinez must make changes as soon as possible, even if there is no way to regain control of the midfield, Arsenal cannot pass the midfield so easily."

Director Zhang Luzhang also commented on the sidelines. He is good at analyzing the tactics of the scene. He can see straight away that Wenger's opening is deliberately showing weakness. So far, the whole scene has been a tactic arranged by them.

Everton's players were very passive on the field. As soon as the ball came out of the siege, it was already taken by Arsenal's players. As for passing it to the foot in the backcourt, three or four Arsenal players in a small area rushed up together, which made them dare not take risks.

There is only defense but no counterattack. For Everton, there is only one best ending, and that is to drag to a penalty shootout.

However, Arsenal obviously will not let the Everton players get what they want. After they control the midfield, they pass and attack again and again, and they have torn a gap on the right side guarded by Coleman.

Ozil got the ball in the middle, and Sanchez, who was on the side, cut in. Ozil gave the ball directly to Sanchez, and Sanchez responded to him immediately. The two hit the wall and passed Coleman. The defensive position of the defensive midfielder Gibson on this side was taken away.

After Ozil got the ball, he made a through pass, and the left back Monreal made a high-speed cross.

Giroud in the middle overwhelmed Jagielka with a header. Although Howard held it up, the ball still hit the net.

"Arsenal's chance, Giroud header, this goal has been scored!" Zhan Jun's passionate voice sounded immediately, "Heavenly King Gedihu, look at me, Giroud! Giroud, help Arsenal open the scoring and lead 1-0 Everton!"

Most of the Wembley Stadium was boiling, and most of the Arsenal fans cheered and celebrated. Giroud ran to the stands of his own fans and knelt to celebrate.

Sanchez, Ozil and other Arsenal players also ran over to hug and celebrate.

Behind them is the lonely Everton player.
