Trapani's defence is not so good in the Champions League, they conceded against their opponents in the group stage, but by the knockout stage they started to get better, and of course Arsenal were even better, having not conceded a goal in eight Champions League games.

Arsene Wenger, like Didier Deschamps, is an attacking side and has kept eight clean sheets, which is a testament to Arsenal's excellent form.

Wenger has often switched between 442 and 451 in the past two seasons, the 451 formation is more conducive to his control of the midfield, the actual position is more like 4231, there are two backs when retreating, and there are many attacking players in the front field when attacking.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann

Defender: Eboue Tourresendros Flamini

Midfielders: Pire, Fabregas, Gilberto, Hlebyomberg

Striker: Thierry Henry

The game began, and Trapani deployed two defensive midfielders in the midfield, Essien and Mascherano, and played in the same way as Pizarro when he was there, as direct as possible.

Trapani's outstanding performance in the past two years is not only the midfielders, but also the defenders, especially the two wide defenders, who have excellent assist ability, solid defense, physical fitness, technical skills, and they are better than Arsenal's in terms of actual role.

Arsenal's main left wing-back, Ashley. Kerr is falling out with the team, he has a big story with Chelsea, he suffered another serious injury in October last year, and he has recently returned, but it is not enough to play. Kerr has been out for too long, form is an issue and Wenger is not going to take any chances.

Ashley. Cole is now hailed as the best left-back in the world, but Hugo doesn't think he's better than his own Patrice Evra and Jankulovski.

After the start of the game, Trapani's full-backs are very bold and often assist upwards, in fact, this is also a strategy, Arsenal's Arsene Wenger pursues such a strategy, using offense to limit the opponent's attack and then reduce the pressure on their own defense, Arsenal's defense is really not world-class, the reason why they can withstand it is because their attack is indeed ferocious, compared to the Vieira era, the current Arsenal has a very good control ability, sometimes can speed up the tempo, sometimes can also use control to suppress the opponent.

Arsene Wenger's idea is good, but Deschamps is not stupid, he has no idea of fighting with the opponent for control, it is direct and simple, the midfielder is responsible for interception, and then the ball is given to the wings, and the midfielder and striker Klose are the solution.

After pressing it up, he crosses and looks for Tony!

Both teams have adopted the idea of attacking and stopping the attack on the pitch, but the effect is different, Deschamps has always placed heavy troops in the middle of the central midfield, not easy to press, and the wing also used the running ability of McCone and Jankulovski and Cesar's defensive awareness to successfully limit Arsenal's attack.

On the other hand, Trapani, the style of play is much simpler, you can often see players working alone, Messi has a lot of freedom, Deschamps encourages him to make more long passes, and Flamini is under a lot of pressure in the face of Messi.

Arsene Wenger has too many people up front, and Trapani's style of play has directly caused them to sometimes have no time to defend at all, so it looks like Arsenal have the advantage of control, but they are not too threatening, and Trapani is more dangerous in the first 20 minutes.

However, after 20 minutes, Arsenal changed their style of play, and Thierry Henry's strategy began to increase more, as a central striker he was not a pure center forward but also had the ability to be a super winger, and when he stepped up his movement on the left and right flanks, Trapani's life suddenly became a little sad.

Arsenal's frontcourt quick cut is very standard, which Trapani does not have, Deschamps expected such a thing before and made arrangements, but Trapani's defensive system is still torn apart by Arsenal from time to time.

Deschamps hesitated and unwilling, he could choose to continue to defend like this, and the attacking side could still bring a threat to Arsenal, and he could score goals if he took the opportunity well.

He also has the option to shrink his formation and increase the density of his defence in the 35-metre area at the back, which is a magic weapon against Arsenal's quick cuts, which even the weakest teams can limit for most of the time.

Deschamps didn't think long before he made up his mind not to give in, still so dangerous by his own defense, Barzagli and Samuel were very nervous, Henry often ran, Deschamps did zone defense, Henry was in the center area, that was naturally Barzagli and Samuel's business, Samuel would bite him to death, but if Henry ran to the left and right, there were fullbacks on both sides and they would not go to fill the position.

Thierry Henry can often find space in between, and if he's not careful, he will find space, and the way to shoot may be limited, but the space to catch the ball Trapani can't.

Deschamps' inchange soon led to Trapani conceding the ball, and in the 34th minute, Arsenal took advantage of Henry's response, Hleb and his teammates made two consecutive hits to the wall, and entered the penalty area.

After the goal, Henry was actually surrounded by Trapani players, with Samuel in front, Barzagli on the left, and Mascherano in the back, who was already in place, but he was short of a tackle.

Every player in Trapani is disappointed, Arsenal's penetration and cutting cooperation are done quickly, but the arrival rate of Trapani's players is not bad, just a little bit, Henry definitely doesn't get that opportunity, after all, he still made a little mistake!

"Alas!" Hugo sighed silently in his heart, Hugo's disappointment after losing this goal is limited, because the opponent is Arsenal and Henry, they have the ability to score such a goal, and it may not be possible to change someone else!

I can only say that Arsenal's cooperation is really good, great!

Hugo couldn't help but put his eyes on Wenger, and the professor was still clenching his fists in celebration at this moment!

Arsene Wenger still has several brushes.

Deschamps shook his head unobtrusively, but he didn't regret it, and he would definitely bear the consequences of his choice.

He is worried that Trapani's players will be hit by this goal, after all, in the Champions League, Trapani is not too much to call the new team, Deschamps hopes that the current players can be as ruthless as the previous Monaco players, and can quickly come back from the goals conceded!

Trapani's players did not disappoint him, as Kameni clapped in the back and shouted at his teammates to concentrate, exclaiming "We can score goals too!" ”

The two centre-backs, Samuel and Barzagli, did not blame the problem of the untimely placement of the midfielders and encouraged everyone to attack.

The last time we played against Inter Milan, Deschamps said that we have enough money to kill now, and this mentality affects the players, and they don't panic after conceding the goal, and they are still firmly attacking when they start the game!

The Arsenal players didn't expect the only benefit from this situation was that they were ahead, and nothing else had changed.

Didier Deschamps observed from the sidelines and re-instructed Trapani's players to pay attention to shrinking when defending, not to overly suppress their wings, and to shrink to the middle of the area as a whole, which he gave up on the wing.

Arsenal's style of play is rarely crosses, relying more on crosses to break into the heart of Trapani and exploit Thierry Henry's ability to counter offsides.

Trapani's contraction makes the middle more dense, and this laissez-faire approach is also a bit risky, but fortunately Henry is not the kind of super striker in the box, we can appreciate Henry's many long-distance runs, a lot of clever shots in and out of the big box, but in the small box is not as good as his compatriot Trezeguet and not as good as the king of the small box Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Trapani's players are more diligent in their movements, they want to score goals, especially in midfield.
