480 After Losing Qin Xiong

After a night of deliberation and deliberation, Wenger decided to fine-tune the team's technical and tactical system to a certain extent.

Due to competitive pressure and lineup pressure, under the double pressure, Arsenal cannot carry out drastic reforms under Wenger's command. After all, the risk is too great.

He can only be careful, make adjustments carefully, and then observe the results. Once there is a deviation, he will immediately withdraw or revise the previous change decision.

As the "warm-up" stage of the season passes, more and more teams conduct research on Arsenal's technical and tactical system. Henry and Qin Xiong are heavily marked by opponents. Wenger will further create a favorable environment for them to stimulate their performance. , in addition to the "main attack and counter-attack" in the team's overall strategy, now it is necessary to add a new screen check point to the offense.

The midfield and backcourt system cannot be changed, and only the two wings can be changed in the frontcourt attack.

It is undeniable that Pires and Ljungberg are not as good as they were last season this season. Pires is one year older and his physical condition is not as good as before. Ljungberg is in poor condition after returning from injury and his recovery speed is improving. Also unsatisfactory.

In this case, Wenger needs to let one of the two wings become a cover point for Qin Xiong and Henry. He did not imagine such an idea out of thin air. The role is highlighted, and he has implemented such a tactical role, providing Qin Xiong and Henry with a better space to play.

When preparing for the Champions League group stage, Wenger informed the team of this tactical change during training, and then conducted a group run-in drill.

Van Persie.Reyes, Pires, Ljungberg, Hleb, Arsenal can employ quite a lot of people on the wing.

The ideal tactical effect is that when two sides are attacking, one side becomes a support point to assist in advancing the attack.On the other side, an inward winger rushes into the penalty area before Henry and Qin Xiong to attract the opponent's defensive attention. This makes it easier for Henry and Qin Xiong to advance in the back. After all, part of the opponent's defensive strength has been restrained. .

Wenger will not fix whether to cut from the left to the right or turn it around. To achieve the ideal state, the two sides can switch their tasks flexibly and freely, and then play a tacit cooperation according to the situation on the field.This makes the attack impossible to defend against.Attack the unprepared.

Qin Xiong confirmed that the Premier League will be suspended for two games, but it will not affect his participation in the Champions League. Wenger comforts himself: Qin Xiong can get some rest time.

10 month 19 day.

Arsenal travel to challenge Czech champions Sparta Prague.

Sparta Prague had one draw and one loss in the first two games, and the qualifying situation was in jeopardy. They faced the Premier League champions Arsenal at home, which was their last desperate game.

If this game is not won, they can almost be declared out, because the next game is a guest at Highbury.With one of the last two games at Ajax, it's almost impossible to win on the road.

So Sparta Prague played very aggressively at home, which gave Arsenal more chances to counterattack.

Qin Xiong seemed to have vented all the grievances he had suppressed at the Hawthorn Stadium on Sparta Prague.

In the first half, he responded to the assists of Henry and Hleb in the counterattack and scored twice. In the second half, after Henry was first replaced by Wenger, he won a penalty kick and made his own penalty.

The heroic fight of Sparta Prague did not result in a difficult victory, but a disastrous defeat.

Qin Xiong performed a hat-trick, became the best player in the game and took away the game ball.

Van Persie and Henry also scored a goal each, and Arsenal won 5-0 away.

After returning to England, Qin Xiong trained step by step to maintain his condition, and he was in the stands at home at Highbury on weekends.He watched Arsenal's Premier League match with Sylvia.

In the tenth round of the Premier League, Arsenal beat Manchester City 1-0 at Highbury.It was not a game Arsenal fans would enjoy, apart from the result.There seems to be no satisfaction for the fans. If it weren't for Silva's chaotic mid-peripheral long-range shot to send the ball into the goal through refraction, this lucky score made Arsenal take away 3 points. I am afraid this will be a game at home. Lost game.

Without Qin Xiong, Arsenal still won the game, but it didn't look easy. Even Arsenal was not like Arsenal. Their offensive efficiency was greatly reduced, and their offensive speed dropped by two gears. At Arsenal, personal breakthroughs that tear apart the opponent's defense are also rare.

In the same round, Chelsea were drawn away by Everton, also ending a seven-game winning streak since the unfortunate loss to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

After the first ten rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal and Chelsea are neck and neck in the standings.

Arsenal lead the standings with 9 wins and 1 tie.

Chelsea followed with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 3 points behind.

After the game, Fleet Street made a sharp analysis based on the situation in the Arsenal game: without Qin Xiong, Arsenal's strength is greatly reduced!

Even in terms of technical statistics, Arsenal’s number of threatening attacks has decreased by 30%, threatening ball delivery has dropped by half, and personal breakthroughs have also decreased by about 40%. It is these data that affect key data such as the number of shots and the number of shots made.

During the training, the teammates also observed Qin Xiong intentionally or unintentionally. There was a look of expectation in their eyes, looking forward to Qin Xiong's return to the starting lineup as soon as possible. Unknowingly, Qin Xiong's importance to the team has subtly affected Everyone, including Henry.

Henry has seen much more of the world than Qin Xiong. He knows that Arsenal cannot be supported by himself alone. It is not that Arsenal cannot maintain the status quo, but that Arsenal cannot achieve glory. He also looks forward to Seeing Qin Xiong return as soon as possible, and in order to prevent Qin Xiong from being sent off with an unnecessary red card, he specially talked to Qin Xiong after a day of training and passed on some of his experience.

He told Qin Xiong about the various difficulties he encountered in the game, and told Qin Xiong straightforwardly to adapt and get used to it, whether it was provocation from opponents or humiliation from fans, he had to keep calm and never get overly excited Get on top and act irrationally.

Perhaps Qin Xiong had a heated conflict with Keane last season and was sent off at the Hawthorn Stadium this season, which made Henry and some teammates think that Qin Xiong would occasionally lose his mind.

The teammates are for the good of Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong can understand that he can restrain his emotions most of the time, but sometimes he loses control of his emotions after being too involved in the game. This kind of behavior is normal for football players. Like some players will make strange movements or expressions during the game, it is not deliberate. (to be continued~^~)
