Chapter 108

The fans of both sides who had a fierce confrontation before the game could not help but yawn after 10 minutes of the game.Even the supporters of the two teams reacted in this way, and the thoughts of other neutral fans can be imagined.

There is only one thought in their minds, what kind of game is they playing now.Arsenal did not show the smooth cooperation and fast attack in the Premier League, and Burnley did not even take a shot in the first 10 minutes.Completely huddled in his own half, Robbie Keane was alone in the frontcourt.

On the contrary, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are not in a hurry to comment. They are the top football commentators in England.I don't know how many important games have been commented on. Basically, important games are usually dull.There are very few games that open and close. Of course, there are not none in history, but there are very few.

In addition, as the two analyzed before the game, whether it is Arsenal or Burnley, in fact, it is a defensive counterattack when analyzed separately.

Burnley even got three defensive midfielders, and it was clear at a glance that George's goal was defense.So the two of them didn't have many surprises, but they didn't understand what George did.Does George want to defend the whole court like this? Although Burnley used to defend and counterattack, there was a counterattack behind the defense.

But from the beginning to the present, Burnley only has defense, and even Ljungberg and Camoranesi, the two main counterattackers, have participated in the defense.There is no sign that Burnley is going to fight back.

"Overmars is quick...he wades through Finnan, crosses...oops, gets pushed out by Mitchell. Overmars' side attack is hilarious, Finnan defends Overmar It's a bit difficult for Si. It's a pity that Arsenal don't have any support points in the frontcourt, it's a pity, it's a pity."

Although Arsenal's style of play is also a defensive counterattack, it is for the opponent.If you encounter strong teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea, of course they will play defensive counterattacks.And with Arsenal's counterattack ability, it's almost one-on-one.

But facing a League One team like Burnley, Arsenal couldn't save their face to fight back.And Burnley's thinking is even clearer, and he will never play a duel with you.

Therefore, Arsenal's defense line was advanced a little bit, but it still didn't move forward much.Arsenal is also very afraid of Burnley's quick counterattack, but Burnley has no intention of attacking so far in the game.

In desperation, Arsenal could only attack forward, and Vieira in the midfield began to move his position forward.Speaking of the current Arsenal, the offensive points are limited.

Parlor's strength is good, but it's really not as good as Ljungberg.Whether it is passing, passing, or shooting, it is not as good as Ljungberg. Under the combined defense of Ljungberg and Daniel, there are few opportunities to perform.On the other hand, Overmars on the left is a typical Dutch winger, with extremely fast speed and beautiful shots.

It was a bit difficult for Finnan to defend Overmars, and it was also the most powerful point when Arsenal defended and counterattacked.Although he just arrived at Arsenal this year, Overmars's performance in the Premier League this year is completely divine.

In order to prevent Overmars, George not only asked Camoranesi to return to the backcourt to assist Finnan in defending Overmars, but even Matthew Holland also took care of the defense on the left.

The two players placed in Arsenal's midfield, Vieira and Pettit, currently do not have too strong offensive capabilities.Needless to say, Pettit is a typical defensive midfielder.He has a tough style, a strong body, comprehensive skills, fierce steals, and a very calm mind.The double defensive midfielder formed by him and Didier Deschamps is an insurmountable obstacle for the opponent, and is an important member of the French team that won the world championship in 1998.

As an excellent defensive midfielder, Pettit's offensive strength is only average.

In the double midfielder combination, Vieira is a midfielder who can attack and defend well.He is one of the few who perfectly embodies two of the most important functions of a defensive midfielder: he can both disrupt the opposition's attack and start his own attack.It's a pity that this is the later Vieira, and the current Vieira has not yet reached the future ability.

Vieira, who is not yet 22 years old, has gradually become one of the best midfielders in the Premier League under Wenger's training.But at present it is only a process of gradual maturity. The defense is good, but the power of the attack is not yet there.

Speaking of which, Vieira may not be much better than Ballack, and Vieira is even worse than Ballack when it comes to attacking.Ballack is far better than Vieira in terms of scheduling football, controlling the rhythm of the game, and scoring goals.

So neither Vieira nor Pettit had the strength to tear apart Burnley's defense with excellent passes in the middle.And the long-range shots of the two are also average, so George didn't have someone to defend them in the midfield.

On the contrary, Arsenal's two strikers are extraordinary. Needless to say, Ian Wright is the top scorer in Arsenal's history before Henry.Ian Wright played fiercely, shot cleanly, and even had a nickname "Black Lightning".Although he is older now, he is already 34 years old.But it is still a frontcourt terminator that cannot be ignored.

If Ian Wright is old, then "Ice Prince" Bergkamp is in his prime.Bergkamp's greatness cannot be expressed in words. He didn't score too many goals after he arrived at Arsenal, but every goal is a work of art.

Bergkamp has the most elegant footwork in the world. He can shoot himself and pass incredible passes. He is currently the most threatening player in Arsenal's frontcourt.Because the current Arsenal does not have players like Pires and Henry who can pass and shoot, so the pass in the middle relies heavily on Bergkamp.

Therefore, the focus of George's defense in the middle is Bergkamp. George made Neil Lennon almost stick to Bergkamp. Anyway, he couldn't let Bergkamp take the ball comfortably.Once Bergkamp gets the ball comfortably near the penalty area, it will be a disaster for Burnley.

Italy's "chain defense" is world-renowned. Their biggest feature is that the team as a whole pays attention to assisting defense, and one link is linked to another.For this game, George also made great efforts in defense.

Only one point left for Robbie Keane in the frontcourt, and then he hoarded his troops in his own half.In this game, George absolutely does not want to make any offside tactics, and the three lines maintain a close connection.The entire team maintains a complete formation, forming a very dense defensive area 30 meters in front of their own goal.Use this compressed defensive density against Arsenal.

The current Arsenal is not the Arsenal transformed by Wenger later. At that time, Arsenal had a lot of ways to break through this dense defense.But it is not easy for Arsenal to break through this dense defense. George has been preparing for this game for half a month.

Each player in Arsenal's frontcourt is analyzed one by one. During training, they have instructed the players one by one on how to defend.

George just wants to play patience with Arsenal. If he can't break through for a long time, George will not believe that Arsenal will not attack.As long as Arsenal are fully attacking, George will fight back.Otherwise, George will never give up defense. George will use the current passive defense to wear down Arsenal's spirit.It must also make Arsenal lose their patience and lose their vigilance.

And to deal with a technical team like Arsenal, George made an agreement with the Burnley players before the game.Just like dealing with Chelsea, dare to make moves, move fast when defending, move fiercely, and various small moves can also be used.

Among the Arsenal players, there are many players who have a bad temper. Vieira's temper is famous in later generations.There is also Bergkamp, ​​who is known for his elegance. Like other talented players, no one can stop his temper when he comes.

If one or two people are provoked to take retaliatory actions, it would be even happier to get a red card.
