Rangnick saw Arsenal's formation change, 4231 This formation Arsenal has not played before, at least he has not seen it, this should be after Van Persie and Rosicky were injured, Wenger's helpless change of formation.

The game was set up in a different way than Wenger had revealed before the game, with the professor saying it was possible to put Nasri up midfield, as Cesc Fabregas had been out for three months before and it would be difficult to get back to his best. Arsenal's midfield needs to be creative and attacking. But for unknown reasons, Arsene Wenger suddenly changed his mind in the starting line-up and pushed Cesc Fabregas down in the midfield.

Rangnick was a little surprised, but not worried, for the coach, the important thing is not what kind of formation the opponent discharges, but what kind of play the opponent uses, Rangnick believes that Wenger will not change the style of play for Hoffenheim.

Arsene Wenger had a smile on his face when he saw Hoffenheim's starting line-up, and the three defenders in midfield were very different from the line-up that Rangnick had played in the league. This was not unexpected by Wenger, whether Hoffenheim attack or defend on the counter-attack, Arsenal's style of play will not change, Hoffenheim has been playing in the Bundesliga rhythm for a long time, and it is almost impossible to adapt to Arsenal's fast passing penetration.

As soon as the match began, Hoffenheim felt a suffocating pressure. Arsenal's short pass combination was like a storm, dazzling them with straight passes, and what made them even more troubled was that Arsenal also launched accurate long pass transfers from time to time, lightning attacks on their defensive weaknesses.

Hoffenheim's players simply don't have time to think, and the opponents are so fast that they can only rely on instinctive reactions to make moves, but they still can't keep up with the pace of Arsenal.

From counter-attacking to all-out defending, from all-out defending to dense defending, and finally to retrenchment, Hoffenheim's players were almost dumbfounded, only Ruud van Nistelrooy was still in front, and everyone else returned to the backline.

The broadcast machine on the sidelines was almost always at an angle of 45 degrees towards Hoffenheim's penalty area, and the ball was always moving in this area, and Hoffenheim's ball ran behind the ball's butt, and the pitch looked bright red, and Hoffenheim's blue was like a poor little orchid.

The only shouts of the Arsenal fans could be heard from the stands, and the nearly 30,000 Hoffenheim fans were equally stunned, holding their breath and watching with their hearts raised to their throats, completely oblivious to anything around them.

Rangnick couldn't even shout on the sidelines, cold sweat flowed down his spine, the feeling of pride before the opening was gone, and he could only say that he was lucky for his cleverness, if he didn't want to surprise Wenger, there were three defenders who could fight and grab, and now Hoffenheim must have conceded the goal.

In retrospect, when the Super Cup played Manchester United, the Premier League hegemon did not put so much pressure on himself and the team, that is, because of the Super Cup, Rangnick did not feel how good Arsenal was, after all, Arsenal was always defeated by Manchester United. But now it seems that Manchester United did not play at their best in that game, and Arsenal's attacking and defensive tempo is obviously much faster than Manchester United, Hoffenheim's passing and receiving is the fastest in the Bundesliga, but compared to Arsenal's, it is like Mercedes and F1 cars, and the rest of the Bundesliga is almost like a tractor.

Li Huan was so depressed that he just wanted to scold his mother, his speed and kick were notoriously fast, but he couldn't pass the opponent faster, the opponent didn't stop the ball at all, basically passed the ball when he received it, ran after passing, and it was too late to react, where was there still a chance to steal. In the opening nearly ten minutes, the opponent had three shots on goal, but Li Huan has not touched the ball yet.

The other Hoffenheim players had the same feeling as Li Huan, suppressing fear and exhaustion, just playing ten minutes, but Hoffenheim's players were tired as if they had already played half a game, this fatigue was not physical, it came from mental, and the spirit was too nervous, which made them feel tired.

Tao Wei couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Hoffenheim has no way, I feel that their players' movements are very slow, like slow-motion replays, in the Bundesliga Hoffenheim is already an invincible existence, even in the Champions League, they are very strong, teams like Villarreal are slaughtered by eight goals." Compared with Arsenal, it is so unbearable, the strength of the Premier League is really terrifying, it is really terrifying, no wonder it can occupy four places in the quarterfinals for three consecutive years. ”

Duan Xuan said: "There should not be such a big gap between the levels of the two sides, it should be that Hoffenheim is not suitable for Arsenal's rhythm, purely from the speed of passing and receiving the ball and the speed of advancement, Arsenal is the first in the world, and Barcelona has no way to compare with them." Hoffenheim has been playing in the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga, how can he adapt. It should be better to get used to it for a long time. ”

Tao Wei said: "When Hoffenheim adapts, I'm afraid the goal will also be broken." ”

Duan Xuandao: "This is not necessarily, Zhan Jun, who commented on the Premier League, said that Arsenal's kick was too hesitant and always wanted to pass the ball to the opponent's goal, Hoffenheim is now fully defending, and it is not easy for Arsenal to break Hoffenheim's goal." ”

Tao Wei said worriedly: "Rangnick must come up with some way, if this continues, sooner or later he will be broken." ”

Duan Xuan said: "What way?" Hoffenheim's ability to control the ball and pass the ball is not as good as Arsenal's, it can only defend, it is normal to not be able to prevent it, it is luck to prevent it, and it can also sneak attack one if it is blocked, that is to create it. ”

Tao Wei was speechless, but the truth can only be like this, who makes Hoffenheim's skills inferior to others, this is the same as Hoffenheim flooding other teams, without that strength, he can only become someone else's fish.

Hoffenheim didn't have a chance to get the ball at all, but their ball was stealed by the opponent as soon as they got it, and the one that didn't steal was also destroyed, Hoffenheim was almost no one who could pass three feet after taking the ball, and Hoffenheim's players also wanted to pass the ball to Li Huan, or Arshavin's feet, using their personal skills to complete the counterattack, but Arsenal obviously emphasized the defense of the two of them before the game, under the opponent's rapid pressing, Hoffenheim simply couldn't get the ball to Li Huan and Arshavin accurately.

In the 13th minute of the game, Li Huan finally got a chance to control the ball. This was not passed by his teammates, it was actually Arsenal's pass that touched the player's body and bounced in front of Li Huan.

Arsenal's counter-robbery came quickly, Li Huan had not fully touched the ball, Nasri's sliding tackle flew over, and when he was heads-up, Li Huan's reaction was by no means slower than anyone on the field, he hit the ball with the forefoot of his foot, and the ball flew up one person high, letting go of Nasri's tackle.

Li Huan used his head to take the ball a little and jumped over Nasri's body, wanting to move forward with the ball, but in this slow time, Adebayo and Fabregas rushed over, and they actually started when the ball bounced to Li Huan's side.

The little monster pulled from behind, Cesc Fabregas steals from the side, the left-back Klich intercepts it head-on, and Nasri, who is lying underground, is not honest, and is still secretly hooking Li Huan's ankle with his foot, and hitting in three ways from the top, middle and bottom, which shows the importance that Wenger and Arsenal players attach to Li Huan.

Under the wrap of everyone, Li Huan still maintained his calmness, raised his right thigh to bounce the ball, just to avoid Nasri's hook, and pushed Fabregas away with his left hand, struggling forward, trying to avoid Adebayo.

But the little monster was tall and long-armed, powerful and powerful, and his five fingers were spread like iron hooks, and he grabbed Li Huan's jersey and dragged Li Huan to the ground on his back.

Hoffenheim fans were just excited to see that Li Huan could get the ball, but in a blink of an eye, they were destroyed by the opponent's three or four people. There was an uproar and they all shouted, "Yellow card!" Give that big black yellow card! "Free kick!"

Sweden's referee Stebel's whistle blew and he ran over to warn Adebayo and awarded a free-kick at the back.

Li Huan didn't send the ball out quickly, he needed to give his teammates a little respite, and was attacked by the opponent like a storm for ten minutes, he believed that everyone was like him, and he hadn't had time to take a breath and think about it.

Li Huan bent down and put the ball in place, as if it was a front-court set-piece, the referee's whistle just sounded, and Li Huan's waist was not straightened up, so he suddenly passed the ball out.

Long pass! Very long pass!

Looking for Fanny at the front.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was perhaps the calmest of Hoffenheim's starting 11, having had a depressing time at Manchester United, and he knew all too much about Arsenal's characteristics and how to hit them. To deal with Arsenal, you have to be tough, if you compare technology alone, Manchester United will be beaten by Arsenal every year, but over the years, it is always Arsenal who loses. It's because when Manchester United defends, it doesn't give Arsenal the space to play technical play at all, and when attacking, they use their bodies to force breakthroughs, and Arsenal has no way to take Manchester United.

Although Li Huan's long pass is sudden, it is a long pass after all, and it takes a certain amount of time for the ball to fly in the air, Arsenal's central defender Gala has both offense and defense, and is the Gunners' Dinghai Shenpin, he saw the long pass, and he didn't judge the direction of the ball at all, and directly pasted the old opponent Vanney.

Ruud van Nistelrooy wanted to head the ball to Arshavin, but when Galla posted it, the ball was not so accurate, and Arshavin needed to run to catch the ball, giving Arsenal's defenders time to defend.

This is the role of a good defender, who is able to react correctly to the situation around them in the shortest possible time and defuse the danger in time.
