Seven Hundred and Forty Fifth Diagonal Fast Break

There was a saying in European football more than ten years ago that there were only two technical teams in Europe, one in the Nou Camp and the other in Highbury.

It is undeniable that before the rise of Dream II Barcelona, ​​the most technically valuable player in Europe was Arsenal.

Today, more than ten years later, there are already many teams with outstanding skills in European football, just like the current Real Madrid's technical ability is also top-notch, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and Liverpool in the Premier League.

In terms of technical and tactical style, among the Premier League teams, Arsenal is the closest to Barcelona.

This can help Liverpool to "warm up" before facing Barcelona.

So in a sense, Liverpool playing Chelsea a hundred times may just play a hundred difficult battles, but the rewards of playing Arsenal a hundred times will be very different.

Because Arsenal are better at actively seeking change.

Situ Yunbing is looking forward to what tactics Wenger will prepare for him today.

Just looking at Arsenal's starting lineup, he has a hunch that Arsenal will play different tactical connotations in previous confrontations this season today.

Wenger is definitely a coach who is extremely serious about his work, and he is definitely a coach who thinks more about skills and tactics than Ferguson, but building a team is often not a simple aspect of skills and tactics. It is awe-inspiring.

He is one of the few skywalkers in European football.

When the game started, Arsenal did not take the initiative to press the offense. They had learned to be smart against Liverpool, but they didn't want to dig their own graves.

Liverpool controlled the midfield and patiently organized the offensive step by step.

Coutinho, who has returned from injury, will enhance Liverpool's midfield control and organizational creativity.

Although Mbappe's individual impact is missing, in top-level battles, Situ Yunbing has to judge the situation and choose how to employ people according to different environments.

If Liverpool had to face Barcelona four or six years ago, then Situ Yunbing would definitely send Mbappe in today's final to let him adjust his state.

But now that Harvey has faded out of Barcelona's main lineup, Situ Yunbing can try to compete with Barcelona on the scene, so Coutinho's role and characteristics relative to Mbappe are more suitable for starting in the Champions League final .

In the 4th minute of the game,

Coutinho received a pass from Eriksson from the left side of the frontcourt. With Robertson assisting, Coutinho made a gesture to knock the ball back. At the moment when Bellerin relaxed his vigilance, Coutinho suddenly Pulling the ball and turning around to complete the breakthrough to Bellerin, the ball came to the outside of the penalty area, Coutinho crossed the ball in front of the penalty area.

Koscielny shovels the ball out of the bottom line!

Liverpool quickly took a tactical corner kick. Robertson made a 45-degree cross from the wing.

Three minutes later, when Gareth Bale made a strong breakthrough from Monreal on the right, he turned to the inside track. Facing Mertesacker, he quickly completed the pass and cut cooperation with Eriksson who was advancing forward. On the right side of the penalty area, he kicked decisively and blasted the goal!

As a result, the football hit the goal net!

Situ Yunbing shook his head slightly on the sidelines, perhaps because he has not played for more than 10 days. The players are in good physical condition, but their technical condition needs some time to improve.

In the 14th minute of the game, Ramsey and Coquelin completed the interception of Lewandowski in the middle of the penalty area, and then Arsenal played a wave of offensive that made all the audience shine.

Ozil stopped the ball on the right side of the backcourt and then cut across the middle. When Casemiro was attracted to press, he sent a diagonal pass with his foot on the ground, and the football moved across the midfield to the left side of the frontcourt.

Cazorla took the ball one step forward and then crossed the ball, facing the right with an inspin ball over the top and sent it straight.

The football flew straight to the right side of the front penalty area.

Walcott sprinted inside and cut in. After stopping and sprinting into the penalty area, Coulibaly was directly broken? !

The main reason is that Walcott performed so well when he stopped and took a trip!

There was almost no stagnation, and the threat of impact was maximized!

Van Dijk had to quickly return to the defense to make up for it.

But Walcott knocked the ball back obliquely in the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area.

Van Dijk made an emergency stop and looked back. Sanchez, who was cutting in from the other side, slammed in and rushed to the ball before Kanter intercepted it without making adjustments!

The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

Ter Stegen flew to the extreme but failed to touch the football.

All the audience in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium exclaimed!

Wenger nodded slightly, applauding for the team's goal!

"Arsenal are ahead! Surprisingly they are ahead of Liverpool!

Oh no, we shouldn't be surprised that Arsenal have taken the lead against Liverpool so many times this season, but the question is, will they be able to maintain that lead until the end of the game?

I have to say that this wave of Arsenal's offensive is really exciting and beautiful.

Ozil found Cazorla with a precise diagonal pass from the backcourt, and the latter found Walcott with a precise diagonal pass. These two medium and long-distance passes were very exciting. Walcott's breakthrough of Koulibaly was even better It was done in one go, and finally assisted Sanchez to score!

Arsenal played a different style! "

Situ Yunbing wanted to applaud Wenger, this 4222 formation really has another mystery!

Arsenal's set of diagonal offensive combos can be considered unique.

Generally speaking, the team's offense must be delicate. When the frontal offense encounters setbacks, they will choose to hit the ball back, overshoot, transfer, and then move forward!

If you have the ability to go straight forward, it will be very simple to pass directly.

But this style of play is generally not a threat in front of top teams, because the offense is too predictable, and the tight defense will not easily expose flaws.

Arsenal has taken a different approach today, using the medium and long-distance diagonal as the main way to push the offense.

Ozil, Cazorla, and Walcott, if the distance is not enough, or the opportunity is not good, Situ Yunbing has no doubt that Sanchez will also become a support point in the diagonal attack.

Such an attack can avoid being oppressed and counter-robbed by Liverpool to the greatest extent, and at the same time reduce the risk of losing the ball when passing the ball backwards.

Of course, if Arsenal does not have solid basic skills and precise passing ability, it will be difficult to play a threat.

In other words, their style of play will not work on ordinary teams. Most of them will make mistakes or deviations when passing the ball forward diagonally from a long distance with the first kick!

Situ Yunbing gestured to Kanter on the sidelines, telling him to stare at Arsenal's side and keep up with Cazorla. If the opponent retreats, then stare at Sanchez!

Arsenal's goal made the Gunners fans extremely excited, but after Liverpool kicked off again, the trend of the game made them depressed again.

Because Liverpool launched an indiscriminate bombing of Arsenal!

After Liverpool focused on marking Ozil, Ramsey fell on the backcourt. After trying to find Walcott or Cazorla in the frontcourt many times, the effect was not satisfactory. The scoring offensive seems to be short-lived.

At the same time, Liverpool's offensive wave after wave, Coutinho and Eriksen continued to deliver shells for Gareth Bale and Lewandowski, but today neither of Liverpool's two forwards seems to have Wearing shooting boots, so that the live broadcast cameras are frequently aimed at Mbappe, Sane, and Vardy, which seems to imply that Situ Yunbing can make substitutions to try to improve offensive efficiency.

Situ Yunbing was unmoved.

In the 34th minute of the game, Sanchez responded to Ozil's long pass from the left side of the front court. After pulling the ball and turning around, he suddenly accelerated and crossed Azpilicueta. intercept it.

Walcott didn't run out of position and ran out of space, otherwise Sanchez would have given him the pass.

Arsenal's offensive basically reached the frontcourt, that is, a duo.

Liverpool turned around and launched a fast break. Robertson dribbled from the left and advanced through halftime. When facing Ozil, he and Eriksson completed a collision with the wall to get rid of him. When he continued to dribble forward, Bellerin blocked In front of him, Robertson sent the ball diagonally short to Coutinho.

Coquelin rushed to press, Coutinho knocked the ball back to Eriksson, who quickly inserted, and the latter kicked the ball diagonally to the front right of the penalty area.

Gareth Bell slammed past Ramsey's side and broke into the right rib of the penalty area!

Mertesacker did his best to move quickly to intercept, but it is clear that Mertesacker is the weak link in the defense today according to the speed of Liverpool's attack.

Gareth Bell turned the ball to the left when Mertesacker was in front of him. Mertesacker stretched his legs decisively to intercept, but it was too late!

Gareth Bale saw Koscielny rushing towards him, and he had no time to swing his leg to shoot, so he stabbed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Koscielny looked back and was startled!

Coutinho quickly hit the ball and hit the goal from a small angle!

The football rolled into the goal quickly against the inside of the near goal post!

Szczesny rushed from the middle road in front of the goal to the direction of the near goal post, but he was beyond his reach!

The Red Army fans in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium cheered wildly!

Wenger frowned helplessly.

Situ Yunbing looked normal, but he couldn't see how excited he was.

Even though Arsenal has made adjustments in terms of skills and tactics, and the effect is still there, this is more like a sneak attack method, and it cannot bring Arsenal an overall high advantage. The gap in hard power between the two teams is still very large. Big, it can be said that Liverpool is somewhat overpowering the weak, but this is football, can't Liverpool take the initiative to weaken its strength?

It is not the first time that Mertesacker has been blown away when facing Liverpool. His weakness of slow turning is magnified to the limit when facing Liverpool!

Of course, if Arsenal is playing against a more agile team like Barcelona, ​​they will also be targeted by their opponents for Mertesacker.
