The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 265 Reversed! !

18? 18!

Wenger sat in the coaching bench of the home team, bowed his waist, watching the Chelsea players wearing blue jerseys celebrating wildly on the court, and the Chelsea fans in the stands were also cheering with forgetfulness, in his mind But these two figures emerged.

The first 18 is a question mark, but the last 18 is an exclamation mark.

This is a question raised by many media before the game, because Chelsea have lost 17 games against Arsenal in the past few years. They have not beaten Arsenal for many, many years. For the Gunners, it is a psychological advantage.

After the arrival of Ye Qiu this season, new coaches and new players, and drastic reforms, this kind of psychological pressure has been weakened a lot, but Arsenal's psychological advantage has not been weakened much. Until the last two rounds of league matches, Arsenal had no Being able to win the opponent, and they are all at a disadvantage on the scene, this made Arsenal somewhat panicked.

Wenger has no doubt that this year is the most promising year for Arsenal to hit the Champions League and the Premier League. The year of playing, once this year is over, if you want to have such an opportunity again, you don't know when.

Unexpectedly, a Chelsea horse suddenly appeared.

In the Premier League, Arsenal lagged behind Chelsea, and Wenger didn't have enough to do about it, because the league relied on accumulation, so he could only chase behind and wait for Chelsea to make mistakes, but in the European Champions Cup, Wenger Ge is ambitious and wants to eliminate Chelsea and win the Champions League.

As long as you pass Chelsea, whether it is Real Madrid or Monaco, it is not a problem!

In order to play against Chelsea in the first leg, Wenger made painstaking efforts. First, he set up doubts before the game and caused injuries to Reyes, Ljungberg, Gilberto Silva, Ashley Cole and others. The signs of being absent, including many of my own people, felt that this was true, but in the end all of these people went up.

He boldly used Reyes to replace Bergkamp in the starting lineup. Wenger doesn't often use such a risky approach, but the effect is very obvious. Reyes scored the only goal in the first half, which was also Arsenal's attack. One of the strange soldiers.

In defense, Wenger has already targeted Chelsea's possible offensive routines countless times before the game, and has made various targeted arrangements and arrangements for Chelsea's main offensive players. The coaching staff almost tried every possibility.

But in the end, he only missed one person, that is Chelsea's No. 18, Claude Makelele!

It is not surprising to miss Makelele, because the French midfielder is best at defense. His last goal dates back to when he played for Celta in the 99/00 season, but in the two years at Celta, He played 70 league games and scored 3 goals.

And in the past few years, as Makelele's position has been continuously moved back, he has almost been insulated from scoring goals, which makes many people even doubt whether Makelele will score goals?And many people subconsciously equate Makelele with the goal, saying that this is impossible.

I believe that countless people have overlooked the fact that Makelele, regardless of defense, is definitely a professional player with very solid basic skills. Such a player, as long as he is given a chance, he can still score goals.

From the top of the arc to the goal, less than 20 meters, is it far?

For the casual shooting range of professional players at 30 meters, 20 meters is very short!

Therefore, when Makelele's shot broke through Lehmann's goal, Wenger's first reaction was impossible, and his second reaction was depression, because he had counted thousands of times, and the only thing he missed was Makelele. .

He should have thought of it a long time ago, because Deco's position is very low. When Lampard and Davis are both on top, how could Deco not be on top?The only explanation is that he deliberately did not press, and the reason for this is to create space and opportunities for Makelele to press.

When Arsenal's defense focused on Deco, Lampard and Davis, Makelele, who had been stationed in front of the defense, suddenly pressed forward, completely disrupting Arsenal's rhythm. In the end, all Everyone discovered that no one was marking Makelele.

On the 18th, 18 games unbeaten, is there hope?
Wenger could clearly feel that the breath in the chest of the players on the field was rapidly draining with Makelele's shot. The physical energy was already close to exhaustion, and now the score was equalized by the opponent. They all felt very annoyed and helpless.

What's terrible is that Wenger obviously doesn't have many changes in his hands, because his team is built around the French gang. The defense line is old Keown, Senderos and Clichy are immature, and Sigam has many problems. , there are only two substitutes in the midfield, Edu and Parlor, and only two substitutes, Bergkamp and Wiltord, on the striker.

The thickness of the bench has always been one of Arsenal's most fatal problems, and it was also the reason why the team collapsed in March and April, but Wenger never thought of further expanding the team's lineup and bench thickness. Of course, there is also the team's budget issue, and on the other hand, it is because Wenger has never been good at rotation.

Perhaps, it is precisely because Wenger studied economics and has his own ideas about finances, but it is undeniable that Arsenal's main lineup is indeed very strong, but the depth of the bench is obviously insufficient. , Compared with Chelsea, the thickness of Arsenal's bench can even be described as weak.

Of course, Wenger also has his own considerations, that is, if the control style of play adopts a rotation policy, the team's performance will definitely fluctuate, because the substitute is definitely not as good as the main force, and for the ball control style of play. Said that the use of rotation, the appearance of the substitute will cause the team to increase the turnover of ball possession and passing and receiving.

Ye Qiu also adopts a control style of play this season, but he does not pursue possession of the ball, nor does he pursue a smooth attack, but pursues high-intensity oppression. Give it to Ronaldinho, or find Drogba through the full-back's forward wing, and then open up the situation, so it can be rotated appropriately.

But it is obvious that no matter how Arsenal changes, they cannot do without Henry, Pires, Vieira and others, and the existence of these people determines that Arsenal's style of play must be controlled by the ground, and if If the ground control flow is used, can Parlor and Ljungberg rotate?
Of course, it is also possible to introduce technical players to rotate from the beginning of the season, but the problem is that these types of players are not cheap.

The reason why many things in the world cannot be solved is not because the person concerned cannot understand them. Because they cannot understand them now, they will understand them sooner or later. No one is hopelessly stupid. The real problem is that everyone can understand them. But there is no solution.

Perhaps, Wenger will not be able to flex his muscles until Arsenal's new stadium is completed!

…………

…………

Ye Qiu noticed Wenger's sad face, and now it was him who was smiling. It could be said that Feng Shui turned.

After equalizing the score, Arsenal's morale has declined rapidly, and as the game continues, the physical fitness of Arsenal's players is rapidly passing away. Wenger doesn't seem to want to make a substitution yet, but it is estimated that it will be soon.

"Arsenal should start adjusting, right?" Ten Carter said beside Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, it depends on Wenger's determination, he doesn't have many cards to change, and the current lineup is the strongest lineup he can form. A substitution would mean Bergkamp for Reyes, but how much would that achieve?"

This is the difference in team formation strategy. Many people say that Ye Qiu is good at playing cup games. In fact, it is because Ye Qiu's team formation strategy has always paid attention to changes. For example, if Chelsea now requires changes, it is very simple. If Cole replaces Davis or Makelele, the team can change formation immediately, and can also play 4231 and 433 depending on the situation.

But looking at Arsenal's bench lineup, there are almost no such substitutes available.

This has always been the biggest problem with Wenger's Arsenal. A set of lineups can be played to death, and the main force is very strong, but you can never rely on a set of main lineup to dominate the world. In fact, this season, the reason why Arsenal can maintain Undefeated, few main lineup injuries are a very important reason.

But this also led to the accumulation of Arsenal's main lineup with the competition, and there is no winter break in the Premier League. Even though Wenger tried to arrange substitutes and youth teams to play in the FA Cup and League Cup, the main players are still very tired. , How can it be possible to have a strong combat effectiveness?
Not good at rotation, sticking to the main lineup to the end, this is why Wenger implements the strategy of signing once a year after the age of 30, because the phenomenon of premature aging caused by excessive fatigue of players is not surprising, and in the previous life, it was in Wenger's hands There are far more stars of hope in it than the stars he has cultivated.

Many times, fans are easily overshadowed by certain things. For example, seeing Arsenal starting to be homeless, they think that Wenger is very good at cultivating young players. This is because they only see part of it and don’t see the rest. that part.

Of course, Ye Qiu has always been sure that Wenger is absolutely great for Arsenal!
"If he doesn't move, we won't move either. When he moves, we will follow him!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Now that the game has developed, Chelsea has taken control of the overall situation, and Ye Qiu has no worries at all. After the equalizer, Chelsea have an away goal in hand, and the pressure is on Arsenal's side. It depends on how Wenger manages the situation, and , Do you have the courage to press it out and fight.

Ye Qiu had enough confidence in his team's defense, so he wished that Arsenal could press them out and play.

But some things were not what he thought they were. Wenger never made any substitutions, and neither did Chelsea. Ye Qiu just attacked for a while after equalizing the score, and then asked the players to continue to maintain pressure, but relax appropriately. Some pressing and pressing against Arsenal.

The so-called appropriateness is to continue to wear down the physical fitness of Arsenal players.

For this kind of technical team, when the physical energy is exhausted to a certain extent, the body can no longer effectively complete the standardized technical movements, which will lead to out-of-shape technical movements, and once the technical movements are out of shape, passing and receiving mistakes will increase, which will inevitably bring some risks.

Ye Qiu didn't make any substitutions, because he knew very well that the initiative was in his hands, and if he continued to waste it, there would be problems for Arsenal sooner or later.

He believes that Wenger also knows this, but the French should be worrying about how to make substitutions!

For a head coach who has a lot of experience and leads the team to the Champions League knockout rounds, every adjustment and every substitution in the game must have its own purpose, so that it can be conveyed to the players.

Two substitutions before and after, with contradictory purposes, will only make the players at a loss in the end.

Therefore, the head coach always believes in a principle at this time, and responds to all changes with the same, because many times, blind and purposeless substitutions and adjustments will only bring counterproductive effects in the end.

As for those who want to use substitutions to create luck and break the deadlock, Ye Qiu can only say that he should buy lottery tickets, perhaps the odds of winning the lottery may be higher.

…………

…………

Everyone can easily see the smoke from above Henry's head, which means that the French striker is very angry now.

This game was hailed by Wenger as the most important game for Arsenal so far this season, but Henry was completely misfired in this game, and it can even be said that he did not perform at all, which made him not angry ?
And the reason why he didn't show any performance was very simple, it was the person in front of him!
The bunch of hair on the forehead stood upright, and I didn't know how much pomade was used to shape it. What is strange is that after so many headers, it is still not messy, and there is always a piece of hair under the straight head that looks more beautiful. It looks like a sneering face, small eyes, small nose and small ears, a villain, ugly as hell.

But what made Henry feel angry was that no matter where he moved, this person followed him all the time, his eyes fixed on him all the time, as if telling himself very firmly, I will definitely stare at you to death!

If it was normal, Bergkamp would have taken the initiative to seek cooperation when he saw Henry being marked by his opponent, but in this game, his partner was replaced by Reyes. The Spanish teenager is called the new player by many Arsenal fans. Henry, because he also likes to cruise on the left, but in Henry's view, Reyes, who was fixed on the right in this game, couldn't even cooperate with him.

2 vs. 2, Henry Garreyes, against Terriga Cannavaro, except for one goal, the former almost lost!
No matter where the ball came from, Chelsea's defense always seemed to be able to restrain and disintegrate, especially after conceding a goal, they became visibly more focused, and did not relax even for a second, which annoyed Henry and his temper followed. Yes, and more and more irritable.

When he pulled to the left to get the ball and was double-teamed by Maicon and Terry, he saw that Reyes did not approach him like Bergkamp to seek cooperation, but waited for his own in the middle of the penalty area. During the pass, Henry's heart suddenly became furious. He really wanted to pick up this Spanish kid, slap him a few times, and ask him, why did you let me pass the ball to you?

It's not that Henry is playing big, nor is he bullying newcomers, it's that he's so hot now!
Seeing that Henry couldn't break through the double-teaming of Maicon and Terry, he directly made a pass and passed the ball, thinking in his heart, don't you want to pass the ball?Pass the ball to you!

Cannavaro was obviously prepared, the ball was not well placed, because of the restrictions of Maicon and Terry, the passing route was frozen a lot, but Reyes was obviously not prepared, he was waiting for Henry to give He passed the ball over, so that he could directly eat Cannavaro, but he didn't expect that the Italian judged the landing point before him, and cleared the ball to the left with a header.

Evra moved forward quickly after getting the ball, and when he met Ljungberg, he passed it diagonally to Davis.

The Dutchman slanted in from the center to the left. After getting the ball, he quickly went to find a response to Ronaldinho, and passed the ball to the Brazilian. At this moment, Ronaldinho’s position was just right. Between Lauren and Chloe Touré.

Strictly speaking, Chelsea's counter-attack speed did not feature fast speed, but it played very cleverly.

Ronaldinho cleverly cut inside when Davis flew to the left after receiving the ball. On the one hand, he gave way to Davis on the left, and on the other hand, he went to Lauren and Kolo Toure is in the gap, and at this moment, Lauren has to guard against Davis, and cannot form a pincer attack with Kolo Toure.

Davis passed the ball to Ronaldinho's feet, but Kolo Toure's reaction was also very fast. He immediately stuck behind Ronaldinho, but the Brazilian used Leaning against Kolo Toure, relying on his own people already standing in the penalty area, Kolo Toure didn't dare to foul, and nimbly swiped the ball to his left with his feet.

The left side of Ronaldinho is the right side of the goal. At this time, Drogba has already come to seek cooperation. I don’t know how the Brazilian saw Drogba. In short, with his swiping, the ball just hit Drogba. In front of Barba, the Ivorian stretched out his right foot, making the ball seem to hit his instep, rebounded directly, and fell behind Kolo Toure.

Kolo Toure, who was looking at Drogba, realized something was wrong at this time, because Ronaldinho, who was standing in front of him, was like a loach at some point, quietly slipping away from his side. The sound slipped by, and there was a two-pass one-hit-the-wall cooperation with Drogba on the line of the penalty area.

Ronaldinho got the ball about 10 meters away from the goal. Facing the panicked Lehmann, the Brazilian tricked Lehman into thinking that he was going to take a kick and made a save. However, he chose to poke the ball flexibly into the lower left corner of the goal, 2:1!

The whole process was done in one go, without waiting for anyone to react, Ronaldinho, who knew in advance that he had stabbed the ball into the goal, quickly rushed out of Arsenal's penalty area, opened his arms, and opened his arms excitedly. He opened his big mouth, showing a mouth full of teeth, and celebrated this goal with forgetfulness.

But at this time, cheers all over the sky suddenly sounded, and everyone realized that the goal had been scored!

Then, everyone couldn't help but burst into more enthusiastic cheers, because Chelsea reversed! ! !
