Chapter 598
Rangnick saw the change in Arsenal's formation. Arsenal had never played this formation before, at least he hadn't seen it. This should be Wenger's helpless change after Van Persie and Rosicky were injured.

The arrangement of this game is not at all the same as what Wenger revealed before the game. The professor said before the game that it is possible to put Nasri in the front midfielder position, because Fabregas had been absent for three months before, and he had to recover for the first time. Being in good shape is hard.Arsenal's midfield needs to be creative and aggressive.But for unknown reasons, Wenger suddenly changed his thinking on the starting lineup and pushed Cesc Fabregas to the position of the attacking midfielder.

Rangnick was a little surprised, but not worried. For the coach, what matters is not what formation the opponent forms, but what kind of play the opponent uses. Rangnick believes that Wenger will not change his play for Hoffenheim. Method.

When Wenger saw Hoffenheim's starting lineup, a smile appeared on his face. The three defensive players in the midfield were completely different from Rangnick's lineup in the league.This did not go beyond Wenger's expectations. Regardless of Hoffenheim's offense or defensive counterattack, Arsenal's style of play will not change. Hoffenheim has long played in the rhythm of the Bundesliga and wants to adapt to Arsenal's fast passing. Cut penetration is almost impossible.

After the game started, Hoffenheim immediately felt a pressure that suffocated them.Arsenal's short-pass coordination was like a storm, and the through passes made them dazzled. What made them even more troublesome was that Arsenal also launched accurate long-pass transfers from time to time, attacking their weak defenses like lightning.

Hoffenheim's players had no time to think at all. The opponents were so fast that they could only act with instinctive reactions. Even so, they still couldn't keep up with Arsenal's rhythm.

From defensive counterattack to comprehensive defense, from comprehensive defense to dense defense, and finally to the back defense, the Hoffenheim players were almost stunned. Only Van Nistelrooy was still at the front, and everyone else returned to the back line of defense.

The broadcaster on the sidelines was facing Hoffenheim's penalty area almost at an angle of 45°, and the ball was always moving in this area. , Hoffenheim's blue is like a poor little orchid.

In the stands, only the loud shouts of Arsenal fans could be heard. The nearly [-] Hoffenheim fans were also stunned. anything.

Lannick couldn't even yell on the sidelines, cold sweat dripped down his back, and the feeling of complacency before the opening was gone. For his cleverness, Lannick could only say that he was lucky, if he It's not to surprise Wenger. With three defensive players who can fight and grab, Hoffenheim must have conceded the ball now.

In retrospect, when Manchester United played in the Super Cup, the Premier League hegemony did not put such a lot of pressure on themselves and the team. It was because of the Super Cup that Rangnick did not feel how good Arsenal was. After all, Arsenal was always defeated by Manchester United. .But now it seems that Manchester United did not do their best in that game, and Arsenal's offensive and defensive rhythm is obviously much faster than Manchester United's. In comparison, it is like comparing Mercedes-Benz to F1 cars, while other teams in the Bundesliga are almost like tractors.

Li Huan was so depressed that he just wanted to scold his mother. He was famous for his fast attacking speed and kick, but he was not as fast as the opponent's pass. The opponent didn't stop the ball at all. Too late, where there is a chance to steal.Nearly 10 minutes into the game, the opponent had three shots, but Li Huan hadn't touched the ball yet.

The other Hoffenheim players felt the same as Li Huan. They suppressed fear and were tired. They had just played for 10 minutes, but the Hoffenheim players were as tired as if they had played half the game. This kind of fatigue is not physical, but From the spirit, the spirit is too tense, which makes them feel tired.

Tao Wei couldn't help shaking his head, and said: "Hoffenheim has nothing to do. It feels like their players move very slowly, like a slow-motion replay. Hoffenheim is already invincible in the Bundesliga. Even in the Champions League In the game, they were also very strong. A team like Villarreal was slaughtered by eight goals. Compared with Arsenal, it is so unbearable. The strength of the Premier League is really terrifying. In [-], it occupied four of the quarterfinals."

Duan Xuandao: "There shouldn't be such a big gap between the levels of the two sides. It should be that Hoffenheim doesn't adapt to Arsenal's rhythm. It is purely based on the speed of passing and receiving the ball and the speed of advancement. Arsenal is number one in the world, and Barcelona There is no way to compare with them. Hoffenheim has been playing games in the Bundesliga Bundesliga, how can they adapt. It should be better after a long time to adapt."

Tao Wei said: "When Hoffenheim adapts, I'm afraid the goal will be smashed."

Duan Xuandao: "This is not necessarily the case. Zhan Jun, the commentator of the Premier League, said that Arsenal's goal kick is too hesitant, and they always want to pass the ball to the opponent's goal. Hoffenheim is now fully defensive. Arsenal wants to break Huo Finnheim's goal is not easy."

Tao Wei said worriedly: "Langnik must come up with a way, if this continues, the door will be broken sooner or later."

Duan Xuandao: "What is the solution? Hoffenheim's ability to control and pass the ball is not as good as Arsenal's. They can only defend. It's normal to be unable to defend. It's luck to defend. It's luck to be able to sneak attack one. "

Tao Wei was speechless, but the fact could only be like this, who made Hoffenheim inferior to others, it was the same as Hoffenheim pouring over other teams, without that strength, they could only become others' fish.

It's not that Hoffenheim has no chance to get the ball at all, it's just that they were intercepted by the opponent as soon as they got the ball, and those that were not intercepted were also destroyed. Hoffenheim almost never got the ball. , Hoffenheim players also want to pass the ball to Li Huan or Arshavin's feet, and use their personal skills to complete the counterattack, but Arsenal obviously also emphasized the defense of the two of them before the game. Under the pressure, Hoffenheim simply couldn't give the ball to Li Huan and Arshavin accurately.

In the 13th minute of the game, Li Huan finally got a chance to control the ball.This wasn't passed by his teammates, it was Arsenal's pass that hit the player's body and bounced in front of Li Huan.

Arsenal's counterattack came very quickly. Before Li Huan could fully touch the ball, Nasri's sliding tackle flew over. As soon as he hit the ball with the forefoot, the ball flew as high as a man, giving way to Nasri's tackle.

Li Huan hit the ball with his head, jumped over Nasri, and wanted to take the ball forward, but in this short time, Adebayor and Fabregas rushed over. The ball started when it bounced towards Li Huan.

Little Monster pulled from behind, Cesc Fabregas made a steal from the side, left-back Clichy intercepted from the front, and Nasri, who was lying on the ground, was dishonest, still secretly hooking Li Huan's ankle with his feet, going up, down, back and forth three ways The flank attack shows that Wenger and the Arsenal players attach great importance to Li Huan.

Surrounded by the crowd, Li Huan still maintained his composure. He raised his right thigh and bounced the ball just in time to avoid Nasri's hook. about.

But the little monster is tall and has long arms, with a powerful hole, and its five fingers spread out like iron hooks. It firmly grabbed Li Huan's jersey, and forced Li Huan to fall to the ground on his back.

The Hoffenheim fans were just excited to see that Li Huan was able to get the ball, but in a blink of an eye they were destroyed by the siege of three or four opponents.There was an uproar all of a sudden, shouting, "Yellow card! Give that black big a yellow card!" "Free kick!"

The whistle of the Swedish referee Sdebel blew, he ran over to warn Adebayor a few words, and awarded a free kick in the backcourt.

Li Huan didn't send the ball quickly. He needed to give his teammates a little time to breathe. He was attacked by the opponent like a storm for 10 minutes. He believed that everyone was like him, and he hadn't had time to take a breath and think about it.

Li Huan slowly bent down to set the ball up, as if it was a set ball in the frontcourt. Just as the referee's whistle sounded, Li Huan suddenly passed the ball before his waist straightened.

long pass!Very long long pass!

It was Fanny who was at the top.

Ruud van Nistelrooy may be the calmest of the 11 players in Hoffenheim's starting line-up. He had a depressing time at Manchester United and knew the characteristics of Arsenal very well, and he also knew how to attack Arsenal.To deal with Arsenal, you have to be tough. If you compare technology alone, Manchester United will be defeated by Arsenal every year, but over the years, Arsenal have always failed.It is because when Manchester United defended, they did not give Arsenal room to play with skills and coordination. When attacking, they used their bodies to force a breakthrough. Arsenal had no way to take Manchester United.

Although Li Huan's long pass is sudden, it is a long pass after all. It takes a certain amount of time for the ball to fly in the air. Arsenal's central defender Gallas is both offensive and defensive. Direction, directly posted on the old rival Van Nistelrooy.

Ruud van Nistelrooy wanted to head the ball to Arshavin, but because of Gallas' post, the header was not so accurate. Arshavin needed to run to catch the ball, which gave Arsenal's defenders time to defend.

This is the role of a good defender. They can make the most correct response according to the surrounding situation in the shortest time, and resolve the danger in time.
