874 Real Madrid's Attack
Before the start of this game, Arsenal was in a very disadvantaged position in public opinion - after all, Arsenal's lineup strength and player status seem to be inferior to Real Madrid.
For teams that also play football control, Arsenal's low pass success rate is enough to show their strength. Moreover, Real Madrid's pass success rate is based on personal abilities. In such a showdown, Arsenal can be said to have no advantage. The huge gap in strength between the two teams is obvious.
But even so, Wenger chose not to sit back and wait for death. After all, he is a famous head coach in Europe. Even when the situation is so unfavorable, he has taken good measures.
And his approach, to a large extent, relies on a quick counterattack.
Any team that controls the ball will be difficult to prevent when it encounters a quick counterattack. Especially with the quick counterattack after a corner kick, it will directly hit Real Madrid's weakness. After all, Real Madrid's Ivanovic needs to be inserted to do the job of grabbing points. The defense on the right side has a fatal flaw. At this time, Bale's counterattack will naturally be accurate with one strike.
However, there is still Pepe in the backcourt of Real Madrid. Although he is also a good height, since he is placed in the midfielder, he naturally cannot get too far in front of the front when defending. At this time, he is also the best candidate to intercept Bale's breakthrough in the backcourt.
But Bale's attack was beyond Pepe's expectations. After getting close to Bale, he wanted to block Bale with his physical advantage at the first time. However, Bale was obviously not as strong as him, but he still did not fall into a disadvantage in the confrontation with him. This excellent balance ability in running made Pepe feel pressured.
However, Pepe was still wrapping up Bale tightly - he could see that Bale was able to ride the ball with his left foot. This way of playing limited his way of playing. When he was on the left side, he had to pass the ball to complete the attack. The weak foot ability made Pepe's defense much simpler. Pepe knew that it would be difficult for him to block his bottom, but at least with his own blocking, it was always possible that his cross should not be too accurate.
Although Bale was under his control, he still passed a ball - making moves at high speed is his advantage, and even when facing squeezing, he can still send out a very good pass. The long pass on the left side is also his technical advantage. His left foot skills and training as a left back were trained. Wenger's arrangement for him was very good, which allowed him to make breakthroughs on the left side, which allowed Bale to fully play his advantage and successfully pass the ball.
However, due to Pepe's interference, the ball's arc was a little bigger. Cannavaro had already rushed back in the middle, and he was a little relaxed when he saw such an arc - this cross was not particularly outstanding. Whether it was Adebayo or Van Persie, the ball was received at the edge of the penalty area. After they received the ball, they should have time to intercept it. As long as they delayed the time a little, Ramos would come back...
However, something unexpected happened: the ball landed at the point where Van Persie did not choose to stop the ball and shoot. He took the pass and volleyed directly and threw the ball towards the goal!
This kick was beyond everyone's expectations. Cannavaro quickly stretched out his legs, but it was too late, and Cassi was caught off guard and could not save the ball. The football flew into the net, and Arsenal led Real Madrid 1-0!
"Beautiful goal! Only Van Persie can do such a shot in the whole of Arsenal!" In response, Leinker immediately praised it, "The amazing shooting skills are worthy of being the one who is favored by Coach Wenger. Such skills are indeed extremely outstanding."
Although Arsenal has always been criticized for its poor medical ability, it has been seriously injured every year and never given up every year. It has been lying in bed for a while and getting the main opportunity as soon as it appears. One is Fabregas, the other is Van Persie, and the other is Diaby. These three people can be said to be the players who have the greatest hope of Wenger. Although their injuries have caused Arsenal to be in the position of fighting for the fourth place every year after winter,
Yes, Wenger still tolerated them quite a bit. It is said that Wenger is a coach who knows how to train young people, but in fact, it is better to say that he is an extremely patient coach. If a player is seriously injured every year for several years, he would have been abandoned, but Wenger tolerated them with extremely rare tolerance, allowing them to grow and replace them with a team. Such an opportunity is simply unimaginable. Compared with Real Madrid, Wenger's approach is two extremes with Real Madrid.
Such indulgence has to be said to be quite profitable. This time, Arsenal took the lead with Van Persie's goal. With such a goal, it is unlikely that Arsenal will find a second person to do it. A key goal is more important than anything for a team. Van Persie's shooting skills make his position in Arsenal unattainable, and this goal caused trouble for Real Madrid.
It's really troublesome... Seeing the opponent's morale rise, Zhao Yaning also sighed. It seemed that Real Madrid underestimated the enemy, and it actually made people fight back.
However, it doesn't matter, just pay attention.
Arsenal has indeed made careful preparations in this game. In addition to their excellent counterattack, another point is reflected in their defensive strategy. Their defense line has been ahead of schedule. At the same time, when defending, he also referred to Barcelona's approach and has been trying to block Real Madrid's attack by intercepting passes. Such a defensive strategy is the best for Arsenal, which lacks confrontation and sweepers, but it is not very useful for Real Madrid today.
This move is OK to play Barcelona, but it will be worse to play Real Madrid. The biggest difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona is the difference between Zhao Yaning and Messi. Messi is particularly rare when retreating to play midfield. His position is generally the winger position, and a simple winger cut inward is used to determine the victory or defeat of the game. Zhao Yaning's position is even further back. Many times, he can retreat deeper and get the ball at Xavi's position.
After 2006, after a serious injury, Xavi almost had no extraordinary ability. By 2008, Xavi was actually on the downhill road. Although he was able to get the ball, get rid of it, and pass the ball in the midfield, he couldn't do the most important thing - he couldn't directly dribble the ball and plug it in.
He could hardly help blocking his pass, but for Zhao Yaning, if he blocked the pass, he could still drive the ball hard.
Zhao Yaning has enough confidence in his dribbling ability, and he also believes that he can break through Alexander Song's defense.
After all, his defense area is a huge flaw. Although he is a black man, Alexander Song is not as poor as many black players - his uncle is already an international player and his life is relatively prosperous. Therefore, although he is a black player, his way of playing football is quite skillful. Zhao Yaning cares the least about such a midfielder. Compared to Essin's desperate pestering, Song is much worse.
Therefore, after getting the ball again, Zhao Yaning did not hesitate and directly launched an attack on Alexander Song's direction.
Song rushes up with a tough bullet, but Zhao Yaning pushes the ball to the right, then pulls it to the left, and throws him away twice, and then goes away in the direction of the left road. Alexander Song's defensive skills are not very good at this time, and he is not psychologically superior, so he is naturally easily thrown away by Zhao Yaning.
At this time, Arsenal's right-back Sarnia rushed up immediately, trying to intercept Zhao Yaning.
The defender, Sarnia, can definitely be called the top three candidates in the right back position. Even Zhao Yaning believes that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first. In this position, he is obviously much more secure than Ebue. Although he does not have any excellent attack ability, sometimes he even does not even do any extra time in the whole game, but when it comes to defense, he is indeed an extremely trustworthy one.
His backup defense was quite good. With his own position, he blocked Zhao Yaning's forward route, trying his best to drive him up the side road. However, Zhao Yaning did not choose to continue to break through at this time. He stopped, turned around, separated Sarnia, and then gave the ball to Ribery who was inserted from behind him.
Zhao Yaning's strong ability to take balls in the frontcourt once again made Arsenal players helpless. Zhao Yaning knew very well that with his physical condition, he could completely withstand the opponent every time he turned back and prevent the opponent from getting successful. At this time, because he took the ball with his back, the opponent's defender dared not lose his position. At his back, other attackers can take the opportunity to get a chance, spread the formation, and get a better offensive opportunity - the front midfielder can mobilize space, which is how it is mobilized.
Arsenal may be able to fight back, but what Real Madrid can do is to directly plow the ground and sweep the holes and press it over.
His idea was quite successful. After his kick was passed back, there was no one around Ribery. He looked at the front and did not choose to continue to break through. Instead, he kicked the ball and sent it directly into the penalty area!
Ibrahimovic and Zhu Lu rushed up together in the penalty area. Zhu Lu took a step faster and grabbed the ball to his feet. However, before he could stop the ball, Ibrahimovic rushed up and snatched the ball from his feet fiercely!
"What have we seen? Ibrahimovic's counter-robbery? It's really rare. Ibrahimovic will also counter-robbery!"
Ibrahimovic has always been disliked to counter-robbery. His way of playing football is extremely technical and consumes physical strength. A large amount of counter-robbery will inevitably make him lose his energy. Ancelotti knows his problem and does not force him to counter-robbery. Many times, he is not allowed to do such a job. However, this time, he devotes himself to counter-robbery: because at this time, he can see that if he grabs the ball, he can immediately get a goal. Speaking of which, Zhu Lu's appearance of taking the ball also gives him great confidence: he believes that he can grab it.
Zhu Lu was unable to squeeze through Ibrahimovic. While the ball was forcibly snatched away by Ibrahimovic, Zhu Lu also fell down. Seeing Ibrahimovic reaching the goal, Zhu Lu was helpless and made an action he shouldn't have done: he grabbed Ibrahimovic's leg and fell Ibrahimovic to the ground.
"Zhu Lu's foul! Penalty! Real Madrid won a penalty!"—
ps: The players Wengerken is waiting for a comeback, Van Persie, Fab, Diaby, and Ramsey and Willshere in the past two years. Others can say that leaving the team is a choice of professionalism, and a rational approach to further career career. However, if Wenger plays professionalism with them, they may die now. Wenger is kind to them, and there is no doubt that genius needs to be cultivated. Wenger can be said to have done his best for their confidence.
In addition, Ramsey has already exploded, and Willshere has never been suspected. Diaby...when will it surprise us?
