Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 470 Transformation (seeking a monthly ticket)

Real Madrid seemed very low-key before the game. Except for Wang Li who said that Real Madrid must win in an interview with the media, other players were immersed in training. They seemed to want to use the results of the game to speak.

It can also be seen from this that Carlo's approach before the game did not have much effect, and the players are still more or less under pressure.

Think about last season, Real Madrid was eliminated in the second round of the top 16, so this time it seems that they want to avenge their shame.In any case, for the Real Madrid players, defeating Arsenal and entering the quarter-finals of the Champions League is not only for the club, but also for themselves. They all hope that Real Madrid can go to victory.

Unlike Real Madrid's low-key, Arsenal team is full of confidence.

Among them, Henry, the king of Highbury, is the most surprising. This Arsenal super shooter has scored 1.3 goals in a single game at Highbury Stadium this season. Many media are already talking about this season. Henry will undoubtedly be the top scorer in the Premier League.

In an interview with reporters, Henry talked about that Arsenal will turn defeat into victory in this game and beat Real Madrid to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"It's not too difficult. We just need to win 2-0. We don't need anything else. We are ready for everything. At Highbury, in front of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans. In front of them, we will do our best to defeat them openly."

Afterwards, Henry expressed his confidence in himself: "I'm in good shape, and I think I'll score in this game."

"The black-haired kid said before every game that he could score. He was indeed very successful. My goals were not as good as his, but I think at least I can score in this game."

In the pre-match press conference, Wenger's face looked good. The Frenchman is very confident in the game. "Last season was a failure for Arsenal. It is said that we must win some championships. To satisfy the fans, for us the league is very competitive, but the Champions League is also our goal."

Wenger talked eloquently and talked about Arsenal's goals this season. It seems that he is quite confident.

"...Our goal is the championship, and this game will be the way to the championship. I believe we can succeed. The players have been in good form recently, and we have played very well in the recent league. I hope this game will also Playing well, it gives the lads more motivation."

At the same time, the players of the two teams were already changing in the locker room, waiting for the time to pass slowly, and were ready to play for the game.

Half an hour before the game, the head coaches of the two teams rushed to the locker room to make the final pre-battle deployment.In fact, Carlo really has nothing to emphasize. The tactics have been arranged long ago, and now everything needs to be performed by the players on the spot.

However, Carlo still emphasized the issue of defense. At Highbury Stadium, Arsenal will definitely launch an indiscriminate attack. Whether they can keep the goal may become the key to victory. On Moss and goalkeeper Casillas, he gave them a few key words, and then emphasized that the two full-backs should reduce their penetration and try to defend well.

As for Wang Li, he really has nothing to say. Wang Li is the most important scoring point for Real Madrid. "Play freely and score more goals" is all he can say.Wang Li's role is to score goals. There is no doubt that as long as he can score more goals, it doesn't matter if Real Madrid concedes a few goals.

However, Carlo has a little confidence in this aspect, because Wang Li has never let him down, and he has never failed to score in a game. This performance makes every coach satisfied.

When the two teams played, almost every Arsenal player whose name was revealed got applause from the audience, but on the contrary, Real Madrid players were booed.

"Front Alan Wang!!"

When the name was uttered from the commentator's mouth, the boos reached a peak. Now there is no Arsenal fan who does not hate Wang Li. If there is no Wang Li, then Arsenal can at least win one more trophy , and won't concede so many goals, and when Wang Li appeared as Arsenal's opponent, this kind of 'hate' reached a peak.

"Alan, you are really welcome." Seeing the atmosphere of the stadium, Ronaldo, the fat man who started the game, couldn't help but joked.

"I think, you have to be careful. If you go to the sidelines now, you will definitely be flooded by debris." Beckham said with lingering fear, looking at the eyes of the fans around the stadium.

At this time, Carlos came over and said, "This is the first time I've seen Allen so unpopular. What have you done to them?"

Wang Li waved his hand and said, "You guys should pay attention to the game, since when have you become so gossip."

After finishing speaking, taking advantage of the moment when the referee turned his head, Wang Li twitched his mouth and waved to the fans, then put his hand down instantly, pretending that nothing happened
"shush"

A burst of boos more majestic than before completely flooded the Highbury Stadium. The Danish referee reacted and looked back, only to see Real Madrid players standing there neatly in a row. Nothing happened, which made him He scratched his head suspiciously.

"Alan, you are really shameless." Carlos was dumbfounded watching this scene, and he seemed to understand the resentment of the Arsenal fans at this time.

When a group of people booed a player fiercely in the audience, that player was not afraid at all, but instead found opportunities to provoke him and was never punished. This situation is absolutely unbearable for ordinary fans.

However, Wang Li is not worried at all. As an England fan, no matter what enmity other England clubs and teams have with him, those fans off the field are still very friendly to him. After all, he is going to represent England in the World Cup. At that time, these Arsenal fans also became his fans.

As for provoking the fans, it was just for fun.

Well, that's all.

What's more, whenever he came to Highbury Stadium, he had a very strong desire to score goals, which may be the reason for a kind of hatred.

After the start of the game, Arsenal took advantage of the home court and launched a stormy offensive against Real Madrid's goal amidst the cheers of the fans.

Arsenal's football style is fast, simple, and direct. Every pass they pass has a certain purpose. This is Arsenal's chance.

Obviously, it is impossible for Real Madrid to defend with all their strength.

Neither the fans nor the players want to use this tactic to win, and even if this tactic is used, if there is a mistake or Arsenal plays too well, it may not necessarily win.

Wang Li also feels that the advantage of two goals is not safe, and Real Madrid needs more advantages to guarantee victory.

Since Real Madrid wants to attack, the three fronts must be opened. Even when defending, they must open their formation intermittently to ensure that they can quickly change and find good opportunities for the team when they counterattack.

Before the game, Wenger’s tactic for Arsenal was to attack, but for Wang Li’s defense, he only sent Campbell to guard closely. The Frenchman is very decisive. He knew that the home game must be Arsenal’s offensive battle. , What the team needs is to quickly tie the score, or even overtake, only in this way can Arsenal stand on the same level as Real Madrid.

In this game, Adebayor replaced Van Persie, who had no performance on the field. He, Henry and Fabregas formed a triangle formation to attack Real Madrid's striker. With the midfielder and Fabregas' command, Adeba Joe and Henry often get good opportunities.

However, compared to Henry's experience and decisiveness, Adebayor still looks immature. It seems that although he is somewhat adapted to Arsenal's style, his young experience hinders his performance.

The game had just started, and Arsenal got a good shot.

"Henry received the ball, he turned around deftly and swayed Ramos away, and shot!!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of violent cheers from the stands, but it was a pity that the football missed the post. Henry's cold shot had a big impact on the defenders of Real Madrid. The top scorer in the Premier League came up immediately. Showed great strength.

At Highbury, he is a well-deserved king!
"Only 4 minutes into the game, Henry kicked a very high-quality shot. Although it is a pity that the goal was not scored, it seems that the overall condition of the Arsenal players is not bad. We look forward to the game becoming more exciting."

Obviously, in the commentator's mouth, the most exciting game is that Arsenal have been attacking Real Madrid all the time, and then scored many goals. This is what he calls wonderful, and it is also the wonderful that Arsenal fans look forward to.

However, the players of Real Madrid will obviously not agree with the splendor of this method. They use their own understanding to interpret another kind of splendor. Perhaps, this is the 'ugly' game in the hearts of Arsenal fans.

Compared with Arsenal's offense, Real Madrid's offense is extraordinarily gorgeous. When the football is in midfield, there will often be some eye-catching movements between the players' passes, and the fluency of coordination is not comparable to that of Arsenal. , Of course, in this smoothness, there are also some South American and Spanish artistic football styles, which will be a little impractical.

In short, the two offensive styles can be described as having their own advantages.

In this game, Wang Li also started as a midfielder. His position is generally in front of the midfield, the position of the attacking midfielder, or a shadow forward can also be used. Real Madrid's formation is 4312. This formation is very important for Real Madrid. They generally use 442, but changing the head coach is equivalent to changing the style. Carlo feels that this formation is more conducive to offense.

In fact, Wang Li is a little uncomfortable in this '1' position. There are still some problems in the cooperation between him and the team, but he can still perform with his keen sense of Xiao Wuxiang's great achievements. It's quite satisfactory, at least it won't hold back the team. After such a long time of training together, Wang Li's passing and receiving and running positions have improved significantly. He has gradually adapted to Real Madrid.

Of course, this is by no means the whole of Wang Li's performance. When he chooses to pass through the penalty area or dribble the ball by himself, he is the most threatening to Arsenal, and it is also when he performs outstandingly.

From the backcourt to the frontcourt, the football was passed 18 times between Real Madrid players. This kind of gorgeous attacking method, the fans in the auditorium who watched it were wonderful, but for Arsenal, they could only choose to remain silent.

This time, Wang Li received the pass, and he was about 3 meters ahead of the penalty area line, which is a perfect position for shooting.

But when they saw Wang Li receiving the ball, the Arsenal players took their own positions so that Wang Li did not have a shooting angle, and slowly stepped forward to press. They used this method to prevent Wang Li from shooting.

This defensive method developed by Wenger is indeed useful. In Wenger's view, the black-haired boy on the field will dribble the ball and break through to find a chance to shoot. Hold his shot.

Of course, there is another possibility that this black-haired kid found a chance to shoot and pose a threat to Arsenal's goal.

But Wenger doesn't want to imagine this kind of situation, because if this kind of thing happens, he has nothing to do. After all, he is just a coach, and he has racked his brains to defend Wang Li. As for the ball, Wenger can only blame the club for failing to buy the black-haired kid to Arsenal.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Wang Li chose to pass the ball, and it was a return pass.
"How come?" Wenger, who was sitting on the coach's bench, frowned, he was a little unbelievable about this result.

The football was handed over to Beckham, and he passed it directly to Raul on the right side of the penalty area.

As the prince of Real Madrid, Raul has seldom played recently due to injuries, but Carlo arranged him in the starting lineup for this game, thanks to his good physical fitness and his performance in the training match. good.

But perhaps it was because he hadn't recovered yet. Raul passed the ball straight into the penalty area, but he didn't hold it down. He hit a one-meter half-high ball. This kind of pass is the most difficult for a forward to control. Because the head cannot be touched and the feet are difficult to stop, there is no time for the chest to stop the ball in the penalty area.

"Haha, Raul's pass."

But the on-site commentator hadn't finished speaking. When the ball flew to the goal, a figure wearing a Real Madrid jersey rushed out from behind. He swooped down and pushed the ball towards the Arsenal goal vigorously.

"Ah~~~~~~" There was a burst of exclamation from the stands.

"Oh my god~!! The ball missed, it was Alan Wang, it was terrible"

Seeing Raul passing the ball, Wang Li hurried towards the penalty area with lingering steps, and finally let him catch up, but he didn't expect it to be such a high kick, so Wang Li could only choose this Kind of shot.

However, his header was not very good. After this kind of action, he didn't hit the right position at all, and the football flew out of the post from the bottom line.

Real Madrid's attack also ended in failure.

In the offensive battle, Wang Li is very important as the center of the team connecting the midfield and the frontcourt. With him in the frontcourt, the probability of receiving the ball becomes very high. Carlo hopes that Wang Li will gradually change from A pure striker turned midfield commander.

Before the game, when Carlo and Wang Li said they hoped that he could play this position, Wang Li seemed a little hesitant, but he finally decided to accept it. After all, he wanted to slowly adapt to the team and integrate into the team. The real competition can make him grow even more.

In the previous four games, Wang Li played in three games. He has always focused on improving his cooperation with the team on the court. In the three games, his performance was not bad. , and at Chelsea, there is still a certain gap.

Therefore, Wang Li has already figured out how to play this game --- when there is no chance, trust his teammates, and when he has a good chance, trust himself.

In this way, not only can Real Madrid's goals be guaranteed, but also he can gradually adapt to the team.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. For example, just now, he chose to pass back. In fact, under normal circumstances, just as Wenger thought, Wang Li hardly passed the ball. He will also choose to split directly instead of passing back because he feels that his passing is more accurate.

However, although there is an extra process, he obviously has more time. He has enough time to adjust his position and have a better chance to shoot.

This choice is obviously correct. After all, football is a sport for eleven people. No matter how hard he works alone, he cannot be stronger than Real Madrid as a whole.After that time just now, Wang Li has a lot of confidence in his heart. He feels that if the game continues like this, the probability of Real Madrid winning will be higher.

In the next game, Wenger discovered an unusual thing. In his analysis of Wang Li before the game, there were many mistakes besides his personal ability.

For example, Wang Li generally chooses how to play, his running position, which point he is used to standing outside the penalty area for long-range shots, etc. These detailed statistics are very useful for defensive players, because they know these Can grasp the approach of the opponent's players.

However, none of these situations seem to be true anymore.

For example, after Wang Li retreated, in an attack, he didn't take the ball at all. Instead, he cooperated with his teammates several times in a row, and then sent another kick to the side.

Once again, Wang Li did not choose to volley directly from the left side of the penalty area, but dexterously dribbled through the penalty area, giving Ronaldo a good one-handed opportunity. If Lehmann’s condition is not good, Real Madrid has already scored .

This kind of performance made Wenger unsure. He felt that everything was out of his control again, which made the French frown all the time, and his face was not very good-looking.

"This kid has grown up again."

Slowly, Wenger found that Real Madrid's offense was more threatening than when he played at the Bernabeu. In Real Madrid's lineup, only Wang Li changed. In other words, Wang Li's style of play raised Real Madrid's offensive power to a higher level. .

"...He is really a genius." Wenger couldn't help but sighed.

Those so-called geniuses at Arsenal, when compared with Wang Li, are like twins.Compared with the sun and the moon, this little flame is really far behind.
