Chapter 886 Offside!

"Welcome to Wembley Stadium."

"What is being broadcast live for you here is the final of the 2010-2011 England League season."

"The two sides in this game are Manchester City from Manchester and London's Arsenal."

"It's about 16:00 p.m. The players of the two teams walked into the stadium one after another under the leadership of the referee."

"We also got the roster of the two teams."

"Manchester City's formation in this game is still three, four, and the goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Fertonheng, Xavi Martinez and Mascherano, behind the midfield is Argentine player Zabaleta, David Silva and Milner are partnered by Kaka, and the trident is Cristiano Ronaldo, Sturric and Gareth Bale."

"This season, Manchester City insisted on fighting on four fronts, Gao Han resolutely adopted rotation tactics, and insisted on arranging rotations in both domestic cup matches, hoping to enable the team to maintain the competitiveness of multiple fronts to the greatest extent."

"This is Zabaleta. She performed well in both right center back and back midfielder this season. Although she is not as outstanding as Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, she is remarkable and very stable, and has won Gao Han's trust."

"Milner and Sturridge are also in the lineup. They have both performed quite well in Manchester City this season, especially Sturridge, who is now vaguely a trend of becoming the main striker of the England national team, and their progress is very obvious."

"The lineup on Arsenal has also experienced some surprises. Captain Fabregas was injured in the previous league and had to miss this final. This is also impossible. Wenger insisted on fighting in the fourth line, but the lineup was obviously not as thick as Manchester City, which led to the core players being injured in key duels, which is inevitable."

"Arsenal uses a 4231-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01-01

"In addition to Fabregas, Wenger also sent all the main players in this game, and the captain's armband was worn on Van Persie. The Dutch center has performed very well after returning from injury this season. He has scored 11 goals in the last eight games. He said he has completely gotten rid of the injury and does not know whether he can perform in this game."

"However, what is most worrying is Arsenal's defense. Wenger arranged two central defenders to partner with Julu and Koscheerney in this game, which is also quite worried. These two central defenders performed well against Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals, but can they withstand the strong offensive this time?"

"You know, in the first match of this season, the defense line consisted of the two of them, which contributed the most disparity in the Premier League so far this season. Manchester City beat Arsenal 8-1, and Julu also got a red card in the game. This time, we met again at Wembley Stadium, and Wenger could give obviously not many cards."

"Squillac scored a goal in the last game and was in good shape, but Wenger did not let him do this game. He still chose to believe Julu and Koscheerney. He just didn't know whether these two players could live up to Wenger's entrusted."

"The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it only happens once."

In front of the coach's seat at Wembley Stadium, Gao Han looked at the two team players who were guessing the side of the field and said calmly.

The miracle he mentioned refers to the game that Arsenal reversed Barcelona 2-1 at home not long ago.

That game was the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match. The Gunners played against Barcelona at home. With one goal conceded in the first half, they forced Barcelona to overturn them in the second half with Van Persie's bracelet score twice.

Interestingly, Arsenal's possession rate in that game was only 33.2%.

No matter from which perspective, the two teams have a huge gap in strength. Barcelona has an overwhelming advantage in passing and controlling, but in the end they return from London. After all, Guardiola was confused by Wenger's tactics.

In that game, Wenger arranged a four-three-three formation, Fabregas, Alexander Song and Willshere joined forces. Not only that, the Gunners had abnormally pressed and pressed the high-level pressure from the beginning. Wenger took the entire defense line forward and adopted an open-minded fighting style. Although Barcelona once led by goals, in the second half, Arsenal began to use Barcelona's mistakes to launch counterattacks frequently.

In the end, the Gunners used a quick free kick and a counterattack to tear open Barcelona's defense twice and reverse the opponent.

It can be said that Barcelona has the advantage of passing and control, but Arsenal has done better in rhythm control and offensive and defensive conversion.

It was a wonderful match and a very worthy showdown, but it was hard to appear again.

Wenger himself knew very well if he believed this.

Gao Han hopes that Arsenal will push out and fight Manchester City like he does when he plays Barcelona. Then he will be happy to give Arsenal a head-on blow, but unfortunately this possibility is not great.

The reason is very simple, Manchester City is not Barcelona!

"In recent years, Wenger's team has been limited by transfer strategies and has not been strong enough for the players they have introduced. Most of them are mainly young players. Although they are willing to give them opportunities for training, they are actually not friendly to the growth environment of young players, and they even have a slight suspicion of being able to grow. The game pressure is too great."

Brian Kidd shook his head and sighed.

Who would have thought that players like Sarnia, Krish, and Alexander Song, who are about 25 years old are already old in Arsenal, and this season, young people like Wilsheer, who are directly responsible for the core main players. The pressure of this game is too great.

This season, Will Sher played almost all Arsenal's Premier League games, and his performance has indeed left a deep impression, but it is absolutely unreasonable to have a 10-year-old player undertake such an amazing game task.

"In recent years, several young players in Arsenal have suffered too many injuries. It's not a coincidence. If this continues, Will Shell is in trouble. Don't destroy such a good seedling."

As an Englishman, Brian Kidd obviously has a lot of complaints about this.

You know, Wilshere is a midfield genius whom England has high hopes for. If it is really used up, it would be a pity.

"There is no way." Gao Han shook his head sympathetically.

"Wenger is facing a very embarrassing situation now. Logically speaking, they should press the defense line forward. The game against Barcelona has also proved that Arsenal can control the rhythm of the game under the high-intensity pressing and pressure tactics, but the problem is that their defense line is seriously unreliable, which makes Wenger dare not take risks at all."

"Arsenal's current mainstream style of play is mostly to focus the focus of defense on the half-court. After getting the ball, it has to start an attack from the half-court, which is further away from the opponent's goal. Therefore, Wenger needs to rely on two sides, Nasri, Walcott, and Wilsher, all benefit from the team's style of play."

In the match against Barcelona, ​​everyone could see that Wenger was trying because he had no choice.

In the knockout round of two rounds, if you cannot play a score that is slightly beneficial to you at home, then when you go to the Camp Nou Stadium in the second round, wouldn’t Arsenal have to wait for death?

"So you see, Fabregas is not here in this game, so he will play Rosici. It is obvious that Rosici can share Will Sher's task, and if I'm not wrong, he will not dare to play in this game like he did when he played Barcelona."

"Why?" asked Brian Kidd, curiously.

"Schchensny, Juru and Koscheerny have just been the main players. They don't have a tacit understanding and lack stability. It is normal to perform well in one or two games occasionally, but once they are under pressure, they will inevitably make mistakes more likely."

"The midfielder lost Fabregas, which is a problem left by Wenger when the bench is not thick enough but insists on fighting on multiple fronts. This will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in Arsenal's midfield control and ability to pass and threaten the ball. In this case, I wish Wenger could push it out and play." Gao Han smiled.

Long before the game, he had made a complete calculation of Arsenal's platoon and made sufficient plans.

I saw Gao Han staring at the stadium with his eyes slightly narrowed, "At the beginning of the game, we put in a big push and attack!"

…………

…………

With the referee's whistle, the League Cup final officially kicked off amid the sound of the sky at Wembley Stadium.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City pressed and pressed Arsenal, which was the first to kick off the ball, especially the trident in the frontcourt. Sturridge was very active from the beginning, chasing Arsenal's ball, showing high fighting spirit.

Manchester City's pressing and pressure worked quickly, and Blue Moon quickly grabbed the ball, but Arsenal quickly launched a counter-attack.

The two sides started a fierce ball rights battle in Arsenal's half, and the Gunners never found an opportunity to send the ball out of the half.

The game was only in the second minute, and the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Arsenal left-back Krish was pressed by Sanchez and had to pass the ball across to Willsheer, but Kaka successfully intercepted the ball from Willsheer's feet and quickly passed it straight.

The ball passed through the middle of Juru and Koscheerny. Sturic quickly started, threw away the defender and caught up with the ball in the penalty area, but was knocked by the attacking goalkeeper Szczesny near the penalty spot.

The entire Wembley Stadium was completely boiling!

All Manchester City fans who came to the scene were in a carnival!

"Punishment! Penalty!! Penalty!!!"

The voices of Manchester City fans were overwhelming, and Sturric kept falling to the ground and refused to get up. Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny was bloodless because he knew very clearly what kind of punishment he would face for this foul.

At a penalty at a light level, and at a heavy level, a red card at a serious level.

Arsenal captain Van Persie and the players surrounded them, and Manchester City players also quickly caught up. Both sides were putting pressure on the referee, but the referee kept signaling both sides to remain calm and looked at the lineman.

The penalty this time was not made by the referee, but by the lineman.

It was only then that everyone noticed that the border throne raised the flag in his hand.

"Offside!!!"
