Chapter 176 Comprehensive suppression
In this game, Wenger is trying a new lineup position.Usually, he uses the regular formation of 442. This season, Wenger often uses the formation of 433 in the Champions League to try his own new routine.

After the start of the game, Arsenal quickly gained the upper hand. They were playing at home, and they invested a lot of troops on the offensive end, rubbing against Leverkusen.

Vieira dispatched in the midfield and calmly controlled the rhythm. He was full of confidence, "We will definitely win this game."

Looking at Lin Lian, it seems that he is not as powerful as the rumors.In the first 10 minutes, Lin Lian didn't have many chances to get the ball, and he didn't pose much threat to Arsenal's defense. That's fine, Lin Lian was not active in returning to defense.

Didn't even get back into his own half, lurking around Vieira the entire time, seemingly waiting to counterattack.

"Leverkusen really let me down, the Bundesliga champion, isn't it vulnerable?" Vieira and Edu looked at each other, understanding each other's thoughts.

After the start of the game, Leverkusen felt a completely different rhythm of the game, fast, and the series pass was very smooth, making it difficult for them to parry.

Vieira dispatched, Edu and Pires continued to charge forward, joined with Henry and Bergkamp in front, and directly flattened Leverkusen's formation.Leverkusen had to fill a large number of players in the area of ​​​​about 30 meters in the penalty area.

Ramello and Ballack were struggling and kept running, but they still couldn't defend against the midfield combination of Pires and Vieira. The opponent's mobility was really too strong.

"Hurry up and help me, I can't take it anymore." Ramello yelled at Basturk, "Back back a little bit."

"Damn it, why are they so fast?" Ballack pursed his lips, even blaming himself a bit, "We didn't let Lin Lian get the ball, I'm really sorry for him."

The pressure and tension on Lin Lian's body gradually eased, but he became more and more excited, his eyes were full of flames, "Is this the strength of the Premier League runner-up and the FA Cup champion? It's not bad."

Arsenal is in the most glorious era in this year. The team has a strong lineup. Except for the lack of thickness, everything else is top-notch in the Premier League. They still have ambitions, otherwise they will not prepare to build a new stadium.

Henry received a pass from Vieira and moved forward a few steps. Without a good chance, he passed back directly to Pires. Pires and Bergkamp cooperated. There was no chance. He continued to pass and passed it to the middle. Edu switched positions.

Holding the ball, advancing, and rubbing Leverkusen's defense, it's a wonderful coordination.

Bergkamp received the ball calmly, faced Lucio, turned his back, and the football passed over Lucio's head and fell right under Henry's feet.

Henry has already appeared in the penalty area, took a step down, threw away Placente, and there was a shooting space, and suddenly shot a cold arrow, a beautiful and powerful shot.

The angle was a little bit off, rubbing against the post and going out of bounds.

Bout broke out in a cold sweat, and Nowotny yelled directly, "Come on, don't give them a chance to pass and catch the ball easily. Strengthen your physical confrontation."

Leverkusen, relying on Lin Lian's personal ability, gradually created opportunities on the offensive end.

Ballack and Basturk cooperated continuously and pushed the offensive to the vicinity of Arsenal's penalty area. "Finally here, where is Lin Lian?"

Give it quickly.

Lin Lian was expressionless. After receiving the ball, he took a step and immediately threw off the defensive Pires.And the defensively tough Ashley Cole, who was taken by Basturk seconds earlier, had his chance.

It was the first time for Keown and Campbell to experience Lin Lian's dribbling after consecutive breakthroughs in the big penalty area. It was very strange that despite such a tall body, they broke through with small steps, so it was difficult to defend.

"Why is this person's breakthrough movement so strange?" Campbell's expression was not good. "It just looks very natural. The big strides and small strides are so natural and powerful. It must have been super hard practiced."

Campbell and Keown are Arsenal's most powerful central defender combination, facing Lin Lian, they will also get no benefit.

By the way, the first player in the Premier League with a weekly salary of more than 10 pounds is Campbell in front of him, and it was just at the beginning of this season.Arsenal and Campbell renewed their contract and directly gave them a weekly salary of 10 pounds. Such a contract renewal condition is equally exciting in football.

Therefore, Arsenal have not always been stingy.At least in the past few years, Wenger has continuously broken the team's transfer record.Well, break twice, both of these guys are on the field.

The first is Henry, who spent £1000 million on Wenger when he joined Arsenal. This is the first time he broke the transfer record in team history; the second is Sylvain Wiltord, a French striker on the field. , Costing Arsenal a full 1300 million pounds.

Well, it seems that the transfer fee is not high, but these days, players with more than ten million are expensive.The Premier League transfer market is not as crazy as Serie A for the time being. The transfer records in the Premier League these years are generally created by Manchester United, who are richer.

Seeing that Keown was deflated, Campbell hurried up to make up for the defense, but Lin Lian actually stepped over him, and Seaman was in a bad mood, even three people?And right on the penalty line?

Whoosh!
"Not good!" Seaman admired Lin Lian's footsteps, but he didn't expect that Lin Lian had already shot at this time, and when he made a sideways save, he lost a little speed.

He failed to prevent Lin Lian's shooting action.Lin Lian corridor is hard to guard against.

In the 30th minute, Lin Lian completely relied on his personal ability to score a goal, and Leverkusen inexplicably took the lead away.

Wenger was watching the game from the sidelines and witnessed Lin Lian's goal process, and he was Spartan.

This gentle Frenchman looks like a scholar, but now he has his chin on the ground and has no image, "Sure enough, he is more amazing than Henry."

"This guy is worth 3000 million pounds. It's amazing." Wenger still finds it unbelievable. "One person can bring victory to the team. Leverkusen is so lucky."

Wenger paid attention to Lin Lian a long time ago, but he has never been so eager to buy Lin Lian as he is now. Thinking that his pockets are not thick, Wenger's mood is even worse.

boom!Ballack was knocked to the ground by Vieira, clutching his chest and unable to get up, "Damn, is this guy so physically fit?"

They all agreed to increase the physical confrontation. I didn't expect that the physical confrontation is not an opponent. Henry is in good health and fast. Others are also very capable, especially in the midfield, the confrontation intensity is very high.

"Neither the body nor the technique is the opponent?" Top Muller clenched his fists, unable to believe it.

In this game, Leverkusen was tactically suppressed by Arsenal in all directions. The pass and cut cooperation was very jerky, and the rhythm was completely controlled by the opponent.In the physical confrontation that they are proud of, Leverkusen did not grab any advantage.

If it weren't for Lin Lian's fierceness and single-handedly picking Arsenal's defense, the team would definitely not be able to open up the situation.The side that was bullied half to death even led 1:0.

What a strange situation.
