Chapter 300 Qi Zu's successor

"Professor, don't you think about the next Champions League game? It's not easy for your group to show up." George was surprised when he saw Arsenal's starting list.

Now Arsenal's situation in the group stage is not optimistic.The first game was a home loss to Real Madrid, followed by a second game against Lazio.Once there is any mistake in this game, there will really be a big problem for Arsenal to appear.

In this group, even Anderlecht, the weakest, is extraordinary.

Don't look at Anderlecht as a Belgian league team.But the combat effectiveness is very strong, and he broke out from the Manchester United team.

Manchester United is the strongest in that group.In addition to Manchester United, there are PSV Eindhoven and Dynamo Kyiv.In this group, being able to lead Eindhoven and Dynamo Kiev, and finally break through, can also know the strength of Anderlecht.

Arsenal really entered an absolute group of death.

Therefore, after seeing all of Arsenal's main players on the field, George asked suspiciously.

"George, it seems that your next game will not be easy. Playing Bayern is a tough battle. Now you are doing your best, so you are so confident." Wenger asked George with a smile.

George shook his head.

"Professor, our team is easier. Even if we lose to Bayern, we won't have any problem showing up. But you just..." George smiled maliciously.

Blackburn was able to eliminate Arsenal in the UEFA Cup last season, because George saw the lifeline of Arsenal.That is, they must want to protect the Champions League places.This time George originally thought that Arsenal would attach importance to the Champions League and would give up some leagues appropriately.

Therefore, George played the main force in this game, and he just wanted to use this opportunity to defeat Arsenal.But I didn't expect that Wenger didn't mean to give up the league at all.

"George, you..." Wenger didn't continue to argue with George.

He just smiled and shook his head, then returned to his seat.

Wenger was depressed, really depressed.George is right, Arsenal are now in a dilemma.Once the next game is lost to Lazio, the situation will be really problematic.Wenger is unwilling to leave the Champions League just like this, but Wenger is also unwilling to give up in the league.

Arsenal have changed a lot this season.Overmars on the left became Wiltord, and midfielder Pettit became Edu.The left-back position has also changed from Sylvinho to Ashley Cole.

Ashley Cole has not completely replaced Sylvinho as Arsenal's main force, but now he basically has the same playing opportunities as Sylvinho.

As for the right side is Parlor, Ljungberg because of the real fight with Keane.And it was the first to strike after being downrooted by Keane.Therefore, the suspension reached seven games, and it is still in the suspension period.

There are not many changes on Blackburn's side. The biggest change is that Van Bronckhorst has become Riise.After that, George arranged for Pires to play on the right and Duff to play on the left.This is the change George made against Arsenal's backline Lauren and Ashley Cole.

Lauren is fierce in fighting, brave in style, abundant in physical fitness, and has outstanding physical fitness. He is a typical African player.Compared with Pires' technical style of play, Duff's direct effect should be better.Ashley Cole, although powerful, was too young.This is the first season as the main force, and the experience is very lacking.

Attacking players, especially those talented midfielders need passion.

Even if they are inexperienced, they can use their aura and genius to play a beautiful offense.They can even play some offenses that many people did not expect.

But defensive players, if only rely on this talent and passion, it is impossible to truly become a world-class defensive player.

Defensive players need more experience and need to use games to accumulate experience.Only enough experience can turn a talented defensive player into a world-class defensive player.Ashley Cole has enough talent, but what he lacks most is experience.

To deal with this kind of rookie guard, it is impossible to succeed if you rush and hit.

To deal with them, you should use another style of play.Just like a person with excellent skills and rich experience like Pires, to deal with this kind of fledgling player.

Both Blackburn and Arsenal are representatives of the Premier League's technical flow, but the playing styles of the two teams are also very different.Arsenal's offense is fast, especially the quick assault on the two wings.Including the speed of Henry in front.

It can be said that Arsenal's style of play is dazzling and beautiful, and it is full of passion.There are players like Bergkamp whose playing has become an art, as well as players like Ljungberg and Henry who maximize their speed.

Arsenal pass the ball quickly, and their offensive and defensive rhythm is definitely one of the best in the Premier League.

And Blackburn is more about midfield control, slow and fast, fast and slow.Between one piece and one relaxation, break the opponent's defense.

These are two completely different styles of play.

Arsenal's offense relies more on the two wings, but it's a pity that Wiltord is more of a striker, and although Parlor is not weak, he is less sharp than Ljungberg.Vieira in the midfield is getting better and better.

Almost alone carried the defense and offense of the Arsenal midfielder.

When playing against Arsenal before, Micoud and Deco used their cooperation to get rid of Vieira.But now Vieira's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his performance in the midfield is obvious to all.George looked at the game. Although Blackburn had three players in the midfield, they didn't have much advantage against Vieira and Edu.

So George waved his hand and let Blackburn play wide.

Blackburn stormed the flanks, and Arsenal's two flanks immediately shrank back.

At this time, George's wing tactics worked.Ashley Cole is indeed strong, but he really lacks experience.Facing the old fox Pires, it was a disadvantage.Facing Ashley Cole, Pires would definitely not rush and fight, but used very cunning skills to surpass others.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary technical players to face a fast and flexible defender like Ashley Cole.

But Pires is no ordinary person.Pires' passing skills are not very dazzling, but they are very effective.Let the fledgling Ashley Cole know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

"...It's Pires again. Ashley Cole has already been dizzy by Pires in this game. Let's see how Pires handles this time?"

In fact, Ashley Cole at his peak, and of course Ashley Cole two or three years later, would not be bullied by Pires like this.But Cole is now just a 19-year-old kid, and Pires is a 27-year-old general.

Pires is a real player who has experienced great storms.He won the UEFA Cup with Blackburn at the club, the World Cup and the European Cup with the national team.

Cole looked at Pires nervously. This game made the proud Cole very frustrated.It also let Cole know that there is a day beyond the sky.Pires looked at the immature Cole in front of him, not careless at all.He clearly remembered how much George valued the little boy.

However, Pires showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and flicked his right foot out, making a breakthrough towards the outside line.Seeing Cole move, he immediately passed the ball in with his left foot.That angle is the small angle that Cole showed just now.

The pass is very delicate.Go between Cole and Adams and go around behind Keown.And there is a little distance from Seaman.

"Pirres, pass... Klose... shoot!"

Klose has a tacit understanding in the frontcourt now.With Pires' pass, Klose cut in between Keown and Adams.Facing the ball, he volleyed directly. Seaman had already attacked, but there was nothing he could do.

"One to zero, Klose's goal, Blackburn away [-] to [-] lead. This ball has to mention Pires, Pires' pass is really unpredictable. Who can imagine this ball."

At the end of the first half, Blackburn led [-]-[-] thanks to Klose's goal.

Arsenal also want to attack, but they are not strong on both sides.And George has a lot of experience in Arsenal's defense.Blackburn's back line is set back, keeping a certain distance from the goalkeeper.In the midfield, Makelele and Deco both kept a very close distance from the defense.

The power of Arsenal's penalty area is very small, and it is possible if they can continue to cooperate.But the current two wingers Parlor and Wiltord are not the kind of people with delicate skills.And Henry is not a center in the penalty area like Trezeguet or Crespo.

So George is more about not letting Arsenal get a chance near the top of the arc in the penalty area.In this area, Henry, especially on the left, has a very beautiful long-range shot.

However, Wenger's reaction was still the same, and he did not change players just because he was behind.

It wasn't until 10 minutes into the second half that Wenger made his first personnel adjustment.Dalma replaced Edu.

Steve Dalma, this is the player Wenger bought for £500 million this season.When he was a fan in his previous life, George was very unfamiliar with the name Dalma.It is almost unheard of such a person.

But in the current French football, Dalma is an out-and-out genius midfielder.

The 21-year-old Dalma is considered by French football to be Zidane's successor.It is well-known in France, and there are not a few clubs that pay attention to Dalma.If it weren't for Wenger's extensive contacts in French football, it would be impossible to win Dalma.With Wenger's cautious personality, being able to spend 500 million pounds also shows that Wenger attaches great importance to this young player.

It's just that after arriving at Arsenal this season, Wenger obviously paid more attention to Wiltord.Dalma's playing time is limited.

I don't know what it means for Wenger to let Darma play now?George really wanted to see what this young player, known as Zidane's successor, was capable of.

Dalma is not tall, about the same size as George.That is, just over 1.8 meters, but the body is very strong.Looks a bit like the Argentine beast Carlos Tevez.After playing, he stood in the position on the left.
