Chapter 449
Trapani's defense is not so good in the Champions League. They conceded goals against their opponents in the group stage, but their defense began to get better in the knockout round. Of course, the opposite team Arsenal is even better, they have not conceded a goal in eight Champions League games.

Wenger, like Didier Deschamps, is an attacking team, and the ability to keep eight games without conceding a goal fully proves Arsenal's excellent state.

Wenger has often switched between 442 and 451 in the past two seasons. The 451 formation is more conducive to his control of the midfield. The actual position is more like 4231. When defending, there are double midfielders in charge. When attacking, there are more attacking players in the frontcourt. And the feet, the great god Henry on the front line, is even more of a person blocking and killing Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann

Defender: Eboue Touresendros Flamini
Midfielder: Pires Fabregas Gilberto Hleb Yongberg
Forward: Henry

The game started. Trapani deployed two defensive midfielders, Essien and Mascherano, in the midfield. The style of play was the same as when Pizarro was there, as direct as possible.

In the past two years, Trapani's outstanding players are not only the midfielders, but also the defenders, especially the two wingbacks. They have excellent assist ability and solid defense. The role looks at them better than Arsenal's.

Ashley Cole, Arsenal's main left back, is having trouble with the team. He has a lot of trouble with Chelsea. He was seriously injured in October last year. He has just returned recently, but not enough to play, Ash Leigh Cole has been absent for too long, and his status is a problem. Wenger will not take risks.

Ashley Cole is now known as the best left back in the world, but Hugo doesn't think he is better than his Evra and Jankulovski.

After the start, Trapani’s full-backs were very bold and often made upward assists. In fact, this is also a strategy. Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger also pursues this strategy, using offense to limit the opponent’s offense and then lighten his own defense. Arsenal's defense is really not world-class. The reason why they can withstand it is because their offense is really fierce. Compared with Vieira's era, Arsenal now has a very good control ability and can sometimes relax the rhythm. Fast, and can sometimes use control to overwhelm opponents.

Wenger's idea is good, but Deschamps is not stupid. He has no idea of ​​fighting for control with the opponent at all. It is direct and simple. The midfielder is responsible for intercepting, and then the ball is given to the wings, and the midfielder and striker Klose are in charge. .

After the overwhelmed pass, find Tony!

The two teams have adopted the idea of ​​attacking and stopping the attack on the court, but the effect is different. Deschamps has always deployed heavy troops in the middle of the midfield and the backcourt, and it is not easy to press on. The wing also uses Maicon and Young. Kulovski's running ability and Cesar's defensive awareness successfully limited Arsenal's offensive.

On the other hand, Trapani’s style of play is much simpler. You can often see players working alone. Messi has a lot of freedom. Deschamps encourages him to make more long passes. Flamini faces a lot of pressure on Messi.

Wenger had too many people in the frontcourt, and Trapani's style of play directly caused them to have no time to return to defense. It seemed that Arsenal had the advantage in control, but they were not very threatening. Trapani The threat was greater in the first 20 minutes or so.

However, Arsenal changed their style of play after 10 minutes, and Henry began to support more. As a center forward, he is not a pure center forward but also has the ability of a super winger. When he strengthens the left and right movements, Trapani's days Suddenly became a little sad.

Arsenal's frontcourt quick-cut cooperation is very good, which Trapani does not have. Didier Deschamps has anticipated this kind of thing before and made arrangements, but Trapani's defensive system is still sometimes torn by Arsenal like this open.

Deschamps is hesitant and not reconciled. He can choose to continue to defend like this. The offensive end can still bring threats to Arsenal. If the opportunity is well grasped, he can score goals.
He can also choose to shrink his formation and increase the defensive density in the 35-meter area of ​​the backcourt. This is a magic weapon to deal with Arsenal's rapid penetration. cut.

Didier Deschamps made up his mind not to give in without thinking about it for a long time. His own defense was still so dangerous. Barzagli and Samuel were very nervous. Henry often ran away. Didier Deschamps was doing zone defense, and Henry was in the center area, so naturally It's about Barzagli and Samuel. Samuel will bite him hard, but if Henry runs to the left and right sides, they will not fill in if there are full-backs on both sides.

Henry can often find gaps between them. If he is not careful, he will find space. The shooting path may be restricted, but Trapani cannot restrict the space for receiving the ball.

Didier Deschamps' inaction quickly caused Trapani to lose the ball. In the 304th minute, Arsenal took advantage of Henry's support. Hleb and his teammates hit the wall twice in a row and entered the penalty area. With a knock on his heel, Henry made a low shot knowingly, Samuel stretched out his foot to block it, and Kameni fell to the ground with a quick reaction and failed to stop Henry's goal.

After the goal, Henry was actually surrounded by Trapani's players, with Samuel in the front, Barzagli on the left, and Mascherano in the back.

Every player in Trapani is disappointed. Arsenal's cut and cut cooperation is very fast, but the placement rate of Trapani's players is not bad, just a little bit worse. Henry will never get that kind of opportunity. After all, I still made a little mistake!

"Alas!" Hugo sighed silently in his heart. Hugo's disappointment after losing this goal is limited, because the opponents are Arsenal and Henry.
It can only be said that Arsenal's cooperation is really good, great!
Hugo couldn't help but cast his gaze on Wenger. The professor is still clenching his fists in celebration!
The old man Wenger still has several brushes.

Deschamps shook his head inconspicuously, but he didn't regret it. If he chose, he would bear the possible consequences.

He is very worried that Trapani's players will be hit by this goal. After all, as far as the Champions League is concerned, Trapani is not too much to be called a new army. Deschamps hopes that the current players can be as ruthless as the previous Monaco players. Work hard and get out of conceding the ball quickly!
Trapani's players didn't let him down, and Kameni clapped behind him, calling for his teammates to pay attention as he shouted "We can score too!"

The two central defenders, Samuel and Barzagli, did not blame the midfielder for not being able to settle in time, and encouraged everyone to attack.

The last time we played against Inter Milan, Didier Deschamps said that we have killed enough so far. This kind of mentality affects the players.

Arsenal's players didn't expect that the only benefit this situation brought them was that they were ahead, and nothing else changed.

Deschamps observed from the sidelines, and re-sent instructions to Trapani's players. When defending, pay attention to shrinking, don't suppress their wings too much, and shrink to the center area as a whole. He is giving up the side. Way of kicking.

Arsenal's style of play rarely chooses crosses. They rely more on crossovers to break into Trapani's core area and take advantage of Henry's anti-offside ability.

Trapani's contraction makes the center denser. This practice of letting go of the wing is also a bit risky, but fortunately Henry is not the kind of super striker in the penalty area. We can appreciate Henry's many long-distance raids, many inside and outside the penalty area The dexterity of the angle-seeking shot, but the ability to grab points in the penalty area is not as good as his compatriot Trezeguet or Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area.

Trapani's players run more diligently. They want to score goals, especially the ability to go up and down the midfield must be strong.
