Chapter 162: Such a great opportunity cannot be missed

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Similarly, if you can't see who the opponent is, you think that the scene in front of you is the climax of the whole play, and you are nervous too early.

Mrs. Smith dared to make a fuss in the manager's office, and it was clear that she was not fighting alone. Like the rules laid out in the previous discussions about Campbell's transfer, she represents a traditional force with a strong voice in the club, with at least half of the supporters on the board!

Now that she has been kicked out by You Mo in such a way, on the surface, it seems that the club's top management has compromised, but it is actually a good move to give up the car to protect the coach and settle accounts after the autumn.

As a superior person, he will never be willing to be coerced, and when the situation is stronger than others, he may hide his true colors, or simply become his staunch supporter. When it's time to settle accounts after the autumn, there is no psychological pressure to turn your face and not recognize people!

Rebel?

Hehe!

Wenger was also aware of this, and his face remained apprehensive, but when facing his disciples, his gloomy face had finally eased.

He knows very well that these people in front of him are his staunchest supporters, and if he can't give them confidence, he can only lose in the end!

"I am very touched by you, and this feeling is the greatest asset I have been in charge of for 17 years."

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Wenger's serious voice was full of confidence, and it sounded a lot more mentally steady.

"No one can unconditionally gain the trust and support of others, we can only overcome one difficulty after another through continuous efforts, and win one championship after another, in order to have enough strength to resist those who try to get something for nothing."

"Now, we are 1/4 of the way to the finish line, forward or backward, victory or defeat, will be on our shoulders and walk with us."

"It's a difficult road, but if I'm not mistaken, it's a vow we made to be conquerors, to conquer this land and its people."

"Now, are you still there?"

Faced with such a question, a smile appeared on everyone's face.

"Of course!"

The uniform voice sounded crisp and neat, and Wenger didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand, turned around and walked away in style.

It wasn't until he was walking alone in the players' tunnel that something crystal clear fell on his tense poker face, smashing on the green carpet and making a small splash.

The exit was close in front of him, and the light was a little harsh, so he stopped and reached out to wipe his eyes. Wait until the chest rises and fall is no longer so violent, then take a deep breath and stride forward.

The flash flickered quickly, leaving his mind blank. His steps staggered slightly, but he quickly adjusted, his eyes straight ahead, his chin slightly raised, and his hands swung rhythmically with his body.

He wasn't familiar with the course, but he instinctively found his way and found his place.

Carlo Ancelotti's hand was held until he was sure that the other party had left a back for him, then he shook his head with a smile and turned away.

......

Lehmann, Ashley Cole, Chloe Toure, Yumo, Lauren, Vieira, Grimandi, Pire, Bergkamp, Wiltord, Henry.

Van der Sar, Montero, Ferrara, Juriano, Davies, Conte, Zidane, Zambrotta, Pesoto, Inzaghi, Piero.

4231 vs 352, Arsene Wenger vs Carlo Ancelotti.

London, Wembley Stadium, sunny, southeast wind 3 to 4 degrees, temperature 14 to 16 degrees.

The majestic opening music sounded, and the 22 people on the pitch lined up to receive the baptism of flashing lights. The atmosphere was a little more serious, and the players of the two teams were a little stranger to each other, and most of the handshakes before the game were nodding and smiling, and there was little verbal communication.

Only the two people who walked at the end of the line received some greetings.

Bergkamp, Henry.

The former is a former rival, the latter is a former teammate. But let's be honest, in the star-studded Serie A arena, the two names crossed like shooting stars, leaving no memorable moments.

Fortunately, the two have found themselves in the Premier League and have a group of teammates who can compete with the giants, so they have to sit on an equal footing in this kind of peak duel and not be covered by the opponent's starlight.

In fact, there is another person who is very familiar to the Arsenal generals.

Zinedine Zidane!

But the 98 Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year double winner has a serious and scary expression, and his mouth is tightly closed, obviously without the desire to communicate with the juniors of the national team.

The Arsenal players have no intention of communicating with their opponents, they are still immersed in a tragic atmosphere, somewhat ignoring the presence of their opponents.

No way, for the players, the club's top management are all high-ranking masters, and they are not on the same level at all. Even the head coach who deals with him every day appears as a manager, and he will not solve the problem with this method of injuring the enemy and harming himself a thousand times unless it is absolutely necessary.

Although they have now achieved a phased victory, this victory makes them feel unreal, as if they have listened to a fairy tale, and need a basin of cold water to sober themselves up.

I didn't expect the cold water to come so quickly!

In the 5th minute of the game, Arsenal's attack failed, and the ball was destroyed by Davies' cross tackle. Montero beat Wiltord in the next confrontation, pulled out the passing angle, and found Zidane near the halfway line with an accurate arc!

Vieira didn't dare to slack off, and quickly approached with two steps!

Before he got close, the ball had slipped away against his leg when he landed with his last step!

Pass? Or is it outstanding?

Just when he hurriedly turned around and wanted to get stuck in his position, there was a sound of wind in his ears!

The ball is divided!

The experienced experience and full understanding made the two of them distinguish the superior and inferior in one face, and instantly raised the risk factor by more than one level!

There was no suspense in the future.

Zidane, Inzaghi, Piero, such a trio of Kolo Toure, Lauren, and Youmo are really humiliating if they can't win in such an open space.

Carlo Ancelotti's counter-attack was very targeted, taking advantage of the gaps left by Arsenal's attack on the left. As long as you get past Vieira's blockade perfectly, and then bypass the uncertain point of Yumo, the rest is simple.

Neither Lauren nor Chloe Toure can take advantage of one-on-one, let alone this kind of rapid counterattack like a cloud of peers!

0:1!

Less than 6 minutes into the game, Arsenal was beaten by the opponent!

It was Inzaghi who scored the goal, and the way he scored was the usual goalmouth grab. But that's enough for the game, and the Gunners are about to face a tough test!

A basin of cold water fell, and the originally lively Wembley Stadium fell silent, and silence quickly enveloped almost every corner.

No one is unclear about the significance of this game, and what the consequences of conceding such an early goal will bring, and it is even more clear!

The club's hierarchy has made concessions, and although there is a suspicion of diverting attention, as a player, the only weapon that can be used to counter it is on the field. If they are kicked at home and have no way to fight back, the already flipped situation will quickly burst into noise, and it is likely to turn into a crusade at the end of the next round, putting the black pot firmly on the head of the openly rebellious guy!

Juventus are a team that excels at counter-attacking, with the two full-backs in the 352 formation working as full-backs for most of the game. Their offense relied on the individual ability of a handful of players and their skilful interplay with each other. Once a situation of less play is formed, the sharpness of the attack will make Europe's top defense become terrifying!

Once such a team is ahead, the situation becomes much more favorable.

Arsenal are unlikely to be pinning their hopes on an away win, conceding one at home and scoring at least two points in the remaining time to give the next leg a chance of winning. Otherwise, even if the opponent is drawn 1:1, the away team still needs to score to have a chance to qualify!

In this way, the difficulty can be imagined.

Attack, how to break the Italian chain defense?

Defending, how to defend against the firepower of the world's top strikers and midfield masters?

Like a double-edged sword, the Arsenal soldiers have no way to hurt the enemy but to take risks!

In fact, with You Mo's character, in this situation, he feels that offense is not the solution to the problem, and the balance between offense and defense is the golden key. However, he plays as a central defender, and if he asks his teammates to pay attention to the help after conceding the ball, there will be a suspicion of throwing the blame, which will further suppress morale.

He knew this well enough to expand his range of action in the following games, turning the defense into a hammer deal with a jaw-dropping bold move!

Overwhelm the midfield, stare Piero!

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, the score still hasn't been rewritten, but everyone is still a little incredulous, a little can't come back to their senses.

Is that okay too?

Expanding the defensive area would expose the space behind him, and even if he keeps his eye on Piero, Inzaghi can still easily get a one-on-one chance against Kolo Toure. With Zidane's vision and foot skills, it is not difficult to make a long pass with an accurate foot, and with the difference in value between the two, it seems that there should be no suspense one-on-one!

But why not?

"Although Del Piero scores a lot of goals, he does not play a single role in the attack, but Philip Inzaghi is a scoring machine due to his physical condition and technical characteristics, and his function on the field is relatively simple!"

Pat Rice tried to suppress the joy in his tone and waved the book in his hand, "This is the advice that MO made to me, I think that Piero is a very important part of Juventus's quick counterattack, and strictly speaking, the role is still above Zidane!" ”

"Huh?" Arsene Wenger clearly disagrees, but the game is in full swing and it is a bit of a luxury to do it all.

Pat Rice also turned his head to look at the field, and after confirming that the situation was safe, he continued to gush: "He told me that Inzaghi used to be his imitation object, and for a long time his off-ball running and point-grabbing skills came from this Italian!" ”

'Because of the proximity, he knows exactly where the weaknesses of this style of play are.

"Dependency!"

"You don't have enough ability to get away with the ball, you can't share the playmaking responsibilities of your teammates, and even if you have the ball on your feet, it's hard to have more options to make the chances a little bit better!"

"As long as you leave enough space for him to get out of the defense, it will have an unexpected effect!"

The voice is constantly changing with the situation on the field, sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low, if you don't look carefully, you think that they are the leader.

"Oh?" Arsene Wenger became interested, and turned his head to look at the old fellow with his eyebrows fluttering.

"But Mo's body is much stronger, so after a long journey down the path of an opportunistic killer, he has made it his goal to be a free man and no longer obsessed with scoring goals." Pat Rice sighed a little as he spoke, and his voice was low, "His defensive skills look simple and rough, but they are actually concluded after full observation and thinking. ”

"Yes, he's a guy who plays with his brain, no matter where he is, on or off the pitch." Wenger's voice was also low, and he was a little hoarse at the end, "In his heart, winning or losing is the most important thing, and the process of deciding the winner is the most interesting." Unfortunately, neither you nor I can do that. ”

"Haha, I have nothing to regret!"

Pat Rice finally couldn't help laughing, and it took a moment for him to continue, as Wenger shook his head and sighed.

"Everyone thought he was plotting to rebel, but in fact he never lost sight of his opponent. Even in my opinion, the series of events that have happened recently are just a gesture for him, and there is no match in front of him that is worth his effort! ”

"Perhaps......." Wenger was stunned for a moment, his eyes finally becoming clear, "his speculation and analysis of his opponent is based on a rich imagination and the pursuit of details. 'The one who knows you best is your opponent' is the best way to describe him! ”

"That's right!" Pat Rice clenched his fists and said with confidence in his voice, "On the surface, he is taking a risk, but in fact he has reduced the risk to an acceptable range, and even if he makes a mistake, he has every chance to make up for it!" ”

"Hmm......" Wenger laughed, pointing to the field, "this ball Zidane passed very coincidentally, allowing Piero to easily get rid of his defense, but what about the next ......"

Really!

After a lightning turn, Yumo's blood-pumping dash quickly canceled out the distance between the two, and Piero was just about to raise his foot to deliver a through pass, when a small mountain was already set in front of him!

I can only continue to get rid of it, or send it back.

Piero didn't hold it up, and after getting rid of the attempt, he turned around and tried to get the ball back to Zinedine Zidane.

As a result, I didn't expect that there was more than one who quickly chased back in place!

Vieira!

The Arsenal captain was wise and wise, and in the face of the existence in front of him, who was destined to become a legend, he did not rush closer, but crossed the opponent's side, restricting rather than stealing!

Piero's pass was unmistakable, and Zidane reached out with his right foot to stop the ball.

But what about the next choice?

Piero was targeted, Inzaghi tried hard to chase Kolo Toure, both into the box, and had yet to find the right moment to counter offside.

There is no good way, but to break through by force!

Too single a choice can only be completed with the individual ability of the sky, but unfortunately the physical conditions of the two are far apart, after Zidane barely completed the breakthrough, the ball has lost control, straight to the feet of the returning Ashley Cole.

Such a great opportunity, you can't miss it! (To be continued.) )
