Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 472 Layout (seeking a monthly ticket)

With Wang Li's goal, the score on the field became 1:0, and the total score of the two rounds became 5:2.

This goal made the Arsenal players even more depressed. If they want to eliminate Real Madrid, they must score at least three goals. For a game, the gap between three goals is indeed a bit big.

However, Arsenal's players looked very imposing, and they did not give up because of this goal.

For Arsenal, this season is a very meaningful season, because after the end of this season, they will move into the UAE United Stadium, a new stadium that started construction in 2004, and the Highbury Stadium will be directly demolished.

When that day came, they would not even have the chance to come back and take a look.

Therefore, many players who love Arsenal deeply hope to win some championships this season to end this beautiful period. Of course, the same is true for Arsenal fans. The century-old stadium does not give up just because it wants to.

This kind of situation made Wenger put forward the view that 'the goal is the champion', and they need the champion to appease the parting hearts.

It's hard to explain the love a team has for a court. It's like a mother's arms, or home.The careers of some other players are inseparable from the Highbury Stadium, such as Henry, who is called the "King of Highbury" by the fans. He scored countless goals at the Highbury Stadium, Helped the team win again and again.

So if it is moved to a new stadium and the old stadium is demolished, what should it be called?

The love for the team, the hometown, the tears and sweat, until that time, I can't even recall these things.

For the Arsenal club, moving to a new stadium is a kind of development, a new beginning, but for the players and fans who love Arsenal deeply, it is really difficult to accept.

In Arsenal, there are many such players, such as Henry and Bergkamp.

In Wenger's era, Arsenal cultivated one star after another. Before becoming famous, these stars had a deep relationship with Highbury Stadium. Their feelings for Highbury are hard for others to imagine. , It's like a wanderer who has good feelings for his hometown and has deep memories. He wants to go back to that land, but finds that his hometown no longer exists.

This kind of mood is tangled. For Arsenal, perhaps a European champion can soothe their wounded heart.

So, now three goals behind, does Arsenal still have a chance?
Many fans are a little desperate, but the Arsenal players on the field are using their performance to answer the fans' questions.

The offense on the field has lasted for 10 minutes. In these 10 minutes, Arsenal's ball possession rate reached an astonishing 70.00% three times, and there were 8 shots. On the other hand, Real Madrid was almost completely suppressed.

When a team with obsession breaks out, it's really hard to imagine the strength they can play.

Looking at the anxiety in the backcourt, Wang Li felt a little timid in his heart.In these 10 minutes, he has completely become a free man on the court. It should be said that he is a free man. When Arsenal started to attack, he stood in the frontcourt and was ready to counterattack at any time. Offensively, there must be loopholes in the backcourt. When he receives a pass, he will have a great chance to score.

But Arsenal told Wang Li with a tenacious will and a desperate spirit --- our offense will never stop.

".The football was cleared by Ramos. Fabregas grabbed the ball and passed it to Henry. His heel kicked back! Adebayor volleyed! It's a pity that the football hit Carlos."

"It's Cesc Fabregas again, he passed to Pires, Pires dribbled past Carlos, lobbed a cross, Henry!! The football was pushed out of the penalty area by Cicinho"

"...Arsenal's free kick. Pires missed the penalty, but it doesn't matter, Eb got the ball and knocked it to Campbell in the middle, Campbell took a long shot!! The ball was confiscated by Iker Casillas."

The following time completely turned into Arsenal time. In order to score a goal, Arsenal overwhelmed Real Madrid, and football has been hovering in Real Madrid's half. Occasionally, Real Madrid's counterattack is always a snake head The end of the snake tail.

However, Arsenal seemed a little too anxious. Although their offensive was very fierce, and it seemed that they would not give up if they failed to achieve their goals, Arsenal still failed to score.

Arsenal is like a little virgin who has never seen porn, looking anxiously at the tempting Taoyuan secret hole - Real Madrid's goal, but no matter how you shoot, the football is always hovering by the door, and you can't get in. .

Of course, Casillas' film is solid and reliable enough.

But although they didn't score a goal, they still played against Real Madrid without the power to resist. The poor Real Madrid struggled helplessly again and again, but was suppressed by Arsenal's offensive frenzy time and time again.

Real Madrid suffered a goal crisis.

Seeing this situation, Wang Li thought for a while, but still did not return to the backcourt.

Although the team is in crisis now, they have a three-goal advantage. Even if Arsenal score one, it doesn't matter much. Moreover, if there is a good opportunity, then they can score another goal. In this way, Arsenal will almost Lost.

What is the difference between three balls and four balls?
Three goals can be caught up, four goals are desperate, this is the difference.

It's a pity that Wang Li never got a chance. Arsenal's offense was too fierce, and there was no break between the offense and the offense. Real Madrid players finally grabbed the ball and were immediately counter-robbed, even Casillas's The pass was slightly skewed and was directly taken away by the Arsenal players.

This let Wang Li know that when a wealthy team explodes with full strength, it is a pity that Arsenal are too eager to score goals, and the last shot always fails to score.

This situation made Wenger a little worried. He turned his head and glanced at the black-haired boy in the Arsenal half, and his worries became more serious.But he has nothing to do now. When the team is behind by three goals, how can they tie the score without launching this kind of attack?
On the other side of the Real Madrid coaching bench, Carlo was equally anxious.

The team managed to gain an advantage, and he didn't want to lose it in vain. Although Real Madrid still has the advantage of three goals, but if they concede one, they lose one. In this situation, Real Madrid don't talk about counterattacks, it's good to keep the goal.

So Carlo walked out of the coaching bench again, thinking of directing the team's defense from the sidelines.

It's a pity that he failed this time, because pieces of sundries in the stands directly submerged Carlo, and he could only hide in the coach's bench in a panic. The coach's bench has a ceiling, but Arsenal fans cannot attack it. of.

Arsenal fans certainly won't let Carlo command.

At the beginning of the game, neither team scored a goal. Wenger and Carlo commanded the team together. Arsenal fans can tolerate it, but now it is clear that the team is in crisis. Arsenal must let go of the attack. Let the annoying head coach of the opponent take command again, so what if Arsenal don't score?
After this situation, you still want to command the team?Don't even think about it!

That's the fans' point of view.

It's a pity that even so, Arsenal still failed to score until the end of the first half, and Real Madrid finally reached the last minute of the first half.

"beep"

With a sharp whistle from the referee's mouth, most Real Madrid players sat directly on the grass. In the final period of the first half, they were under too much pressure.

Of course, some of them are less stressed, such as Wang Li.

In the last 5 minutes, he didn't touch the ball at all, but no one blamed him. Most of Real Madrid's offensive tasks were on Wang Li, and Wang Li scored the goal in the first half. Do not participate in the defense to question, after all, everyone knows that he is for the team to fight back.

In the home dressing room at Highbury at half-time, Wenger was emphasizing attack.

"We only need offense, don't worry about defense, and don't care about that black-haired kid, all we need is offense!!"

At this time, Wenger no longer had the usual composure, but encouraged him with excitement: "This is Highbury Stadium!! It is our territory. Although the team is three goals behind, the comeback of the Champions League There are countless leagues and all we need to do is score goals as soon as possible."

"Next year, this stadium will disappear in North London. You will never see it again. Do you want to leave some memories here?? This season I hope the team can win the Champions League, and now Standing in front of you is the Real Madrid team, they are the Galacticos, the best team of the 20th century, very strong, but we are young Arsenal!! We are not afraid of any opponents!!”

".But it should be noted that when you shoot at the end, don't be too anxious. Finding a good opportunity to shoot has a higher success rate."

In Wenger's encouragement, the Arsenal players were also inspired by this kind of words. Wenger really rarely encourages players. He usually just arranges tactics, and some players think that they will not see Highbury next year. , both eyes are red and swollen.

For players who love Arsenal deeply, this is indeed tangled.

At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Carlo was also emphasizing the tactics of the second half: "We need to do a good job of defense. In the second half, everyone except Allen must participate in the defense and shrink the defense if necessary."

Seeing the slightly puzzled eyes of the players around, Carlo continued: "We have the advantage of three goals, so there is no need to fight them head-on. As long as we keep the goal, the victory is ours."

At this time, the players nodded one after another. Pure defense is much easier than counterattack. According to Arsenal's offensive level at the end of the first half, it is indeed too risky to play against them, even if the team has Wang Li. the same.

The reason why Arsenal did not score in the first half may have some reasons for their performance, but the more reason is that Real Madrid retreated across the board, and the shooting opportunities they found were not very good.

And if you continue to attack, Real Madrid's formation is bound to be opened, so it will be much easier for Arsenal to score goals.

"By the way, I think you should change your style of play."

The players were still thinking about how to play in the second half, and the locker room fell into silence, but Wang Li suddenly said, and all the players looked at him for a while.

Wang Li waved his hand and said, "Yes, what I'm talking about is a different way of playing, when clearing the siege."

He thought for a while before slowly explaining: "Just now I was in the frontcourt and wanted to get the ball to launch a counterattack, but for 10 consecutive minutes, the ball failed to pass halfway. When you make a clearance, you are used to driving to the outside. Or pass it directly to others, Arsenal is using this gap to continuously complete counter-attacks."

".I can see clearly from the front, and this is roughly the case, so when you make a clearance next time, pay attention to the big feet driving forward. If I can get a chance, I can cause trouble for them."

After hearing Wang Li's explanation, the teammates nodded in understanding, and Carlo's eyes lit up even more.

The playing style of Real Madrid players is close to that of South America and Spain, even in the backcourt. When the players get the ball in the backcourt, few of them will go straight to the frontcourt, but are used to counterattack step by step. It is a quick counterattack, and it is also based on short pass coordination, while the regular offense is very similar to Barcelona, ​​and has been constantly turning around in the backcourt in order to find opportunities.

This style of play is correct in normal times, but now the team has to defend, and there is only Wang Li in the frontcourt. If the British style of play is followed, with a long pass after receiving the ball, and a big foot in the frontcourt, then Wang Li Chances of winning the ball will definitely increase.

At this time, the teammates looked at Wang Li, thought about his speed and dribbling ability, and felt a deep cold sweat for Arsenal.

If Arsenal continues to press hard and let this black-haired kid get the ball in the frontcourt, the one or two defensive players will be exactly the same as the decorations, then the team's chances of attacking will definitely increase greatly.

Of course, Carlo could also think of this. The head coach who doesn't care about demeanor but about grades even patted his forehead and said in a low voice, "Why didn't I think of it earlier."

In fact, Wang Li just thought of it.

At Chelsea last season, everyone played with him as the center. After getting the ball in the backcourt, almost all players habitually looked forward to look for him, but after arriving at Real Madrid, these Real Madrid teammates obviously did not this habit.

However, Real Madrid's style of play and tactics are very different from Chelsea's. Although he has strong skills, he feels that he is more inclined to the British style of play, which is incompatible with the team's style, which makes him strong. Enhanced, but not much better at Real Madrid.

He only thought of this after watching the first half of the game. This may be described as a flash of inspiration.
