Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 317 The Power of Regional Offensive Tactics

"Alan Wang equalized the score for Chelsea. This counterattack was too fast. Our players seem to have failed to adapt to the sudden acceleration of the rhythm. I hope they can find the feeling as soon as possible and play just now!!"

Seeing Wang Li score a goal, the live announcer at Highbury Stadium was much more frustrated than the commentator at the court station in the ancient eastern country.

Arsenal had just experienced the feeling of being in the lead, and had just entered that winning mentality, but only a few minutes later, the opponent equalized. This sudden change of situation made all the Arsenal fans a little uncomfortable. For a long time after Wang Li's goal, many Arsenal fans were still staring at the figure of Wang Li raising his fists on the field, they were surprised and didn't know what to do.

However, the 'professionalism' of these Arsenal fans is indeed very good. After reacting, they immediately booed violently and neatly at the arrogant figure on the field——
This is Highbury Stadium, how can Chelsea players be arrogant! ?
At this time, the Blues fans were really rejoicing. Even though they had enough confidence in Chelsea, they still didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly. This made them all excited, and the Blues fans in the stadium seemed to be boiled Like boiling water, it erupted immediately. The cheers of more than 1 fans even overwhelmed the voices of [-] Arsenal fans, and many neutral fans also began to cheer for the goal. Tell them, the two teams It doesn't matter who wins or loses, what they support is just a wonderful attack, no doubt——
Chelsea's goal was wonderful! !
On the court, Wang Li was also very happy after scoring the goal. This is not only the success of Chelsea's tactics, but also an affirmation of his own ability.He jumped up hard, and then raised his fists high, as if he was demonstrating to everyone in the audience, which made the Arsenal fans boo even louder.

Frank Lampard, an 'upright man' who followed from behind, looked at Wang Li's movements and expressions, bent his body and made a bowing gesture, and joked by the way: "Your Majesty, please attend the enthronement ceremony!"

Fortunately, this was on the pitch. Lampard's voice was not loud enough to be heard by other Arsenal supporters. If the Arsenal fans in the audience knew what Lampard said just now, they would definitely riot stand up.You know, this is Highbury Stadium, where the enthronement ceremony is held! ! ?

This is an act of completely disregarding Arsenal and blatantly contemptuous of Arsenal, and the referee on the field will also think that this is an act of seriously provoking the fans. It is estimated that this 'righteous man' will suffer a lot for this. A yellow card.

Compared with the cheerful Chelsea players, the Arsenal players are more or less sad.

From the very beginning of this game, Arsenal have been sieging Chelsea half-court frantically, and this siege has indeed achieved good results-they scored first and took the lead.However, this advantage has not lasted for a few minutes, and the opponent equalized the score, which is a bit frustrating.

The same is true of coach Wenger on the sidelines, but at this time he has a different idea from the Arsenal players.

'In the next season, should we introduce a superstar to Arsenal! ? '

Wenger looked at the somewhat arrogant black-haired kid on the field and thought.From the point of view of the Frenchman, after the start of the game, Arsenal had a complete advantage in terms of tactics, form, and performance. This also allowed the team to score a goal in 10 minutes. Chelsea took the lead, but Chelsea leveled the score with a 'flash of inspiration' from one player.

This is the role of superstars. Every time they shine, they can bring goals to the team. In Wenger's view, Wang Li already has the strength of a superstar.

What Arsenal lack is this kind of player. Although Henry's performance is also very good, he is also a striker trained under the Arsenal system, perhaps in terms of football foundation, tactical movement, coordination, personal ability, etc. Excellence, perhaps, but creativity?
At least, Wenger can be sure that Henry's creativity is definitely not as good as that of world-class superstars, such as Ronaldo, or even some young players at a young age. He thought that under the training of the system, his personal skills, The ability has been frozen, and it is difficult to have any creativity.

This is also a common problem in training players under the system-just like the English standard defenders trained by Western Union Ham.

In short, even though Arsenal's strength is at the top of European clubs, they still lack a creative superstar.

However, Wenger still had a little doubt in his heart at this time, that is, the feeling of this attack is different from Chelsea's previous attack method.After a long time of research, the French found that all the goals of the black-haired boy, except for the direct shot after the pass from the teammate, was that he got rid of the defender and passed the ball to the penalty area to create opportunities for his teammates.

But this time, after several very imaginative kicks, the ball finally passed to Wang Li. Of course, this goal was more due to Wang Li's personal strength.

"It's a coincidence, isn't it?"

Thinking of this question, Wenger frowned. If it was just a coincidence, then there is nothing to be afraid of in the next game. Superstars will occasionally have a 'flash of inspiration', but it is impossible for the whole game to be 'flickering' all the time ', but if it is not a coincidence but Chelsea's tactics, then Chelsea's next offensive will go smoothly, and Arsenal may face a test.

This kind of thinking made Wenger hesitate, but in turn, he felt that it was unlikely to be a tactic, because that kind of creative pass is unlikely to appear in a tactical way, and the opponent's midfielder Lan Pad's last kick was obviously a mistake, and it was obviously just the black-haired boy's personal strength——
Thinking about it this way, the French felt a little at ease.

The game has restarted, but the big screen in the stadium and the screens of various TV stations are still replaying the goal just now. Compared with Arsenal's indiscriminate attack, this quick counterattack is not only fast, but also several classics. The pass between the balls is also very shocking, and it can be included in the collection of wonderful goals in world football.

As for this goal, commentators from different countries have different comments. Just like the media in England, such as Sky TV, they have been endlessly praising Wang Li, saying that he is "a rare thing in England in a hundred years." This performance fully embodies the charm of England's technical football'.

On the other hand, TV stations in other countries, especially German and Portuguese media, which are competitive with English football, refuted it by saying that it is impossible for the English football system to train such skilled players. They believed that this goal was just a coincidence. It is not surprising that it was a player's flash of inspiration--
Although, these media also recognized Wang Li's strength.

.........

After the game restarted, the Arsenal team was obviously a little timid by the counterattack. They were afraid that they would press too high. After Chelsea came back with a quick counterattack, so the players who were pressing in the backcourt during the attack also paid attention to defense, more The job is on defense.

But it is undeniable that even so, Arsenal's offense in the frontcourt is still very fast.

On the left flank, Pires' attack penetrated Chelsea's defense again and again. Arsenal could always pass the ball into Chelsea's hinterland, constantly creating opportunities for the team.In the middle, Henry kept attacking the defense. The performance of this world-class striker was undoubtedly the highlight of the audience and attracted the attention of many Chelsea defenders.

And the teenager Cesc Fabregas is always ambushing behind Henry, frequently cooperating with his teammates and passing precise through balls, which makes him the highlight of Arsenal's offense.

The Spanish teenager who is not yet 18 years old finally appeared in front of the media all over the world in this competition.

Although Pires' performance on the wing is very dazzling, Henry always grabs the camera in the center, but it is undeniable that the performance of the not-so-famous Francisco Fabregas is by no means worse than the two. Most of the time, he hovers near the center line. With his outstanding passing ability, he often plays the role of an offensive organizer, constantly creating crises for Chelsea.

If it is a layman in the field of football, they may ignore this young player, because they only watch the wonderful passing and shooting, but after watching 10 minutes, it is obvious to understand that Arsenal In this lineup, the most important role is the playmaker Cesc Fabregas.

Driven by these three people, although Arsenal have invested less force in offense, they still have an advantage on the scene overall. This can also be seen from the relevant data: since Chelsea equalized the score In the next 10 minutes, Arsenal's possession rate reached 57%, the pass success rate was 89%, and the number of shots was 4 times, while Chelsea had only 2 times.

I have to say that even if Mr. Mourinho does not admit it, he understands it very well in his heart. In terms of offense alone, if Chelsea does not have Wang Li, it must be a big difference from Arsenal, and Wang Li's outstanding His personal ability made up for this shortcoming, which greatly narrowed the gap between the offensive capabilities of the two teams.

Therefore, in the battle between the two teams, the offense is more about state and momentum. Whoever has more momentum and state will be able to suppress the scene. Of course, scoring depends on some luck.

At this time, because Arsenal still had the advantage on the scene, the spirit of the Arsenal fans in the audience was revived again, and their confidence in the game was raised again. Anyway, it is only 1:1 now, and the two teams stand again. At the starting line, they believe that the team will definitely win the final victory.

However, as the game time slowly passed, Chelsea players gradually recovered their form.

Perhaps at the beginning of the game, Chelsea did not show their due strength due to the incompatibility in the away game and the opponent's surprise, but after the equalizer, the players regained their confidence. Driven by Wang Li, Chelsea's new team Offensive tactics finally showed their power slowly in Highbury.

.........

Arsenal's attack.

Pires made a two-for-one cooperation with Cesc Fabregas on the wing. After shaking away William Gallas, he passed the ball to the front of the penalty area with a through kick.

Reyes cut inside from the right, got right in front of the ball, and received the pass.

This 21-year-old Spanish genius is much more famous than Cesc Fabregas. He joined Arsenal last winter for 1575 million pounds. So far he has played 27 Premier League games for Arsenal and scored 8 goals. Ball, although many fans think he is a parallel importer because he is not very suitable for the confrontation in the Premier League, but it is undeniable that his extremely spiritual extraordinary and wonderful passing can always bring opportunities for Arsenal's forwards.

It was the same this time. After receiving the ball, Reyes didn't even think about it, he just kicked the ball straight into the penalty area, and the football flew past Carvalho's side and passed to Henry's feet.

It's a pity that just when the Arsenal fans were exclaiming that the team was about to score, John Terry, who was next to Henry, kicked the ball out of the penalty area, destroying the creation of this wonderful pass. Opportunity.

Next, of course, is Chelsea's offense.

Frank Lampard took the ball over the halfway line very steadily, and it was obvious from the situation that Chelsea was preparing to launch a steady attack.

After crossing the center line, Fabregas ran over to defend and interfere. In Lampard's personal ability, dribbling is a serious flaw. That is to say, he is not good at dribbling and dribbling. He is an English big man who knows his own disadvantages very well. Instead of insisting on dribbling the ball, he pushed with his right foot and passed the ball to Alkin Robben on the wing.

At this time, Reyes was standing next to Robben.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, Reyes has already experienced the ability of the Dutchman. In this game, he has been beaten twice by Robben with speed, so this time, Reyes was not impulsive He went forward to steal, but took two steps back to prevent Robben's sudden acceleration.

However, Robben didn't choose to dribble the ball, or even stop the ball at all. Under Reyes' surprised gaze, he kicked back to Wang Li, who was diagonally forward.

There is no doubt that Wang Li is the center of Chelsea's attack.

Seeing that Wang Li was about to take the ball forward after catching the ball, Robben and Duff began to consciously shrink their positions on the two sides, and slowly slanted towards the middle. The dribbling position does not exceed 20 meters, and the cooperation between them can be played much better. At the back, Lampard also slowly runs forward from the center line, ready to attack at any time. Gud Jansen in the frontcourt He is always staring at the ball at Wang Li's feet, ready to throw off defenders to create opportunities for his own shots.

Flaminio greeted him.

In fact, in Arsenal's defensive system, although the young midfielder seldom participates in the offense, he still stands very forward. He hurried over to defend, and behind him, Arsenal's defense general Campbell also leaned over to make up for the defense. This was done to make up for the space after Flamini was passed and to prevent Wang Li from running with the ball.

As for Flamini, he may be able to steal it! ?

Campbell, who participated in the European Cup together, already knows Wang Li very well. He doesn't believe that the young man in the team has the ability to break the ball at the feet of the black-haired boy. In fact, according to the statistics of the media, he has really broken the ball Chelsea's central defender Ricardo Carvalho was the only one Wang Li dribbled. As for whether Flamini will be next, Campbell thinks he is more likely.

It has to be said that for the defenders in the Premier League, breaking Wang Li's ball has become a symbol of honor and strength, because there are too few people who can do it.

Although Campbell and Flamini did a good job defensively, what they didn't expect was that the black-haired kid in front of them passed the ball! !
Still Alkin Robben on the left.

However, at this time, the Dutchman was standing about 5 meters away from the penalty area line, and there were two Arsenal players beside him, but Wang Li's pass was so sudden that they didn't even react, and it was impossible to do it. If there is any prediction, let alone stealing the ball in the middle.

After kicking the ball in the direction of Robben, Wang Li immediately took lingering steps and ran towards the hinterland of Arsenal. In this way, in the eyes of all the fans, his figure surpassed Fernando almost instantly. Ramini and Campbell reached the penalty area line. This shocking speed has won the hearts of many neutral fans.

At this time, Altyn Robben's pass also rolled over! !
Having stayed at Chelsea for half a season, Robben already knew Wang Li quite well. Faced with Wang Li's pass, he didn't even think about it, and kicked back to Campbell's back. Yes, he I don't worry that Wang Li will not receive the pass at all. This kind of cooperation has been carried out many times during training.

This skillful cooperation directly tore apart Arsenal's defense, turning the defense of Campbell and Flamini into a joke.

At this time, the defensive players in Arsenal's penalty area also forced them over. Although Chelsea's cooperation just now made them feel sorry for them, this is Highbury Stadium, and they must not have any flinching mood.

However, facing Arsenal's tight defense, under the surprised eyes of all Arsenal players, Wang Li passed the ball again, and Duff was on the right side of the penalty area. He ran to the bottom line on the right. Although he caught the ball in a hurry, he still managed to stop the ball.

Perhaps Wang Li's pass seems normal to many people, but if you watch Chelsea's game video carefully and collect data, you can find that Wang Li will choose to dribble the ball far away when he is in the penalty area. Shoot, because it is already within his range, even if he does not shoot directly, he will choose to pass through the penalty area to create a good shot for the center forward in the penalty area.

Passes from this position are extremely rare.

Wenger emphasized this point to these players on Wang Li's defense before the game. Of course he said very seriously: "As long as the opponent's No. 21 receives the ball near the penalty area line, don't press it impulsively." To steal the ball, but to spread the focus to hinder his passing lanes and shooting angles towards the goal."

But that is no longer the case.

However, although this caught Arsenal's defensive players a little by surprise, their good quality still allowed them to adjust in time to deal with this kind of attack-defender Lauren rushed to the right to supplement the defense.

But it was already too late. Damien Duff had almost the same performance as Alkin Robben after receiving the ball. He directly stuffed the ball into the penalty area from an angle of no one.

The passing of the ball is really weird! !
"Mistake!! Chelsea made a mistake!!" At the same time, the on-site commentator kept shouting excitedly.

The moment Wang Li passed the ball, he took Ling Bowei and ran forward.But in fact, although Duff's ball was passed according to the tactical arrangement, due to Arsenal's tight defense, there was no angle at all closer. Wang Li also tried his best to run forward to barely reach the ball. But at this time, it is impossible for him to adjust to shoot.

In this situation, Wang Li jumped forward with both feet in a hurry. When the ball flew in front of him, he hooked the ball with his right toe forcefully. This force caused the ball to change direction and roll diagonally backward. ---
There is Edul Gudjenssen! !
"Beautiful!! Opportunity!!" The commentator of the court station of the ancient eastern country was not far behind.

It's a pity that the Icelander also felt that the ball must be useless just now, so he didn't react at all. Only when the ball hit his feet, he kicked reflexively, and the football rolled without strength. To the goal, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia easily threw himself into his arms.

.........

The game on the field has been carried on to the 40th minute of the first half. At this time, the scoreboard in the middle of the Highbury Stadium still shows a score of 1:1. Judging from this situation, the two teams seem to be tied. But in the auditorium, the fans who supported both sides were not in the same mood at all——
The Blues fans were extremely excited, while the Gunners fans were terrified.

This is mainly due to the differential performance of the two teams in the past 10 minutes.

In fact, on the scene, the two teams were really tied. No matter the ball possession rate or the number of turnovers, the gap between the two teams is not too big. The reason for the gap in performance is because of Chelsea's offensive efficiency. It's ridiculously high! !

Almost every attack of Chelsea can pose a great threat to Arsenal. In the offensive with Wang Li as the core of the attack, relying on Wang Li's brilliant performance and Chelsea's strange but smooth way of passing and receiving the ball , Arsenal's defense has encountered crises one after another. Although the score on the field is still 1:1, even the fans in the audience understand very well——
Chelsea are just a little bit of luck away from scoring! !
But in contrast to Arsenal, although their offense is still very fast, passing and receiving the ball, cooperation is also very smooth, and there are not many mistakes, but under Chelsea's strong backcourt defense, their offensive efficiency is not at the same level as Chelsea. In fact, it is difficult to break Chelsea's defense every time they attack, let alone create a good scoring opportunity for the team.

At least in the past 10 minutes, Arsenal had only one poor shot chance, and was kicked by midfielder Pires.

At this time, the coach Mourinho on the Chelsea coaching bench smiled. For a football coach, there is nothing more fulfilling than the tactics he created on the pitch.

Even though the Portuguese seldom puts on a vain face in front of reporters, in fact he still cares about his results, and now the Arsenal team, which is at the same level as Chelsea and even a level higher in the hearts of fans, He was hit by his new tactics repeatedly, which made his sense of accomplishment suddenly rise.At this time, he was laughing and chatting with assistant coach Clark about the game on the pitch, while looking at Arsenal's coaching bench out of the corner of his eye, wondering how the Frenchman would deal with his tactics for a while.

But in fact, Mourinho overestimated Wenger's level and underestimated the ability of the new tactics.

Facing this kind of offensive tactic that is almost difficult to find loopholes, and it is a tactic completely designed for the performance of a player, how can Wenger come up with any countermeasures in a short time! ?

Even speaking, 40 minutes of the game have passed, but in fact Chelsea’s new tactics have only been played for 10 minutes. Now Wenger just feels that the offense on the scene seems to be a little different from the previous performance, but he thinks this is just this period. It was caused by the good condition of Chelsea players, that is to say, he hadn't realized that this was Chelsea's new tactic at all! !
In fact, this is not due to Wenger's lack of strength. Even after watching the entire game, without careful analysis, this new tactic is difficult to see from the scene.

Especially for the head coach of a wealthy team.

For a wealthy team, they hardly formulate tactics for a certain player, and these big-name coaches will only choose players who fit their own tactical system to participate in the game, so only Mourinho is the king It sounds a bit shocking to build tactics with advantage.

At least for a short period of time, the general head coach will not think about that idea at all.

And now at Highbury Stadium, even if you carefully observe Chelsea's formation, you can only find that Altyn Robben and Damien Duff are a bit closer to the center in the attacking position, while the positions of other players are not at all. Change, that is to say, the offensive formation is still 4321. How could Wenger notice this small change in Chelsea's tactics in a short time, and how could he realize that this small change caused the attack? high efficiency! ?

In this case, Chelsea's offense can create shooting opportunities for the team almost every time. Judging from the scene, the goal is already in sight.

This situation made the Arsenal fans in the auditorium restless. All they could do was shout and cheer for the team. Of course, when Chelsea players got the ball, boos were also essential. I want to use this method to interfere with the performance of Chelsea players——
But in fact, this seems to have no effect at all. On the contrary, Chelsea's offense is smoother and more threatening.

On the Highbury Stadium, Mourinho's "Zone Offensive Tactics" specially formulated for Wang Li was finally truly displayed in front of people for the first time, slowly revealing its power.
