Chapter 150: Let's find out

After the results of the lottery were released, several families were happy and some were sad. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Inter Milan are undoubtedly the happiest of the club, with a prediction of 85% of the way to the tournament if they win the draw from Benfica. The underestimated Portuguese was not low-key, threatening to make the star-studded Serie A giants plant a big heel, which attracted a lot of ridicule.

Manchester United's signing luck is not bad, Barcelona this season on and off the pitch, and it is said that manager Louis van Gaal has been sidelined. With the league far behind Real Madrid, if the Champions League falls to the quarter-finals again, the dismissal will be inevitable.

Arsenal's rivals Juventus have been solid in the competitive Serie A, with their number one star Piero already scoring six goals in the Champions League, joint top with Raul. The direct head-to-head play between these two teams dates back 15 years, and the unfamiliarity of each other can make the game much more unpredictable.

The clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is the biggest attraction of the quarter-finals, with the two teams currently leading the league and having no worries, there are many more options in the line-up. Some analysts believe that the early meeting of these two teams has virtually increased the chances of other teams advancing to the semi-finals, which can be regarded as a decisive battle staged in advance.

After two days of lively debate, the 27th round of the Premier League has begun, and Arsenal will face Stoke City at home.

Due to the excessive consumption of the game that ended three days ago, Arsene Wenger announced his starting XI before the game, and nearly half of the main players entered the rotation.

Henry, Yumo, Pire, Ashley Cole, Chloe Toure, five guys sat in a row on the bench, every now and then drew camera footage and swept them back and forth.

Of the five, Henry and Chloe Toure had serious faces and focused eyes, while the other three guys looked relaxed and laughed.

In fact, the Arsenal team on the field did not have much advantage, but Stoke City's fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions were quite threatening, and the fans of Highbury were shocked by low crosses from time to time.

There is no way, the classic car with an average age of 27.8 years old on the field starts too slowly, the opponent has already entered the state, and they still can't attack and defend. If it weren't for the limited strength of the opponent and the lack of ability to grasp opportunities, the situation on the field would be more passive.

Wenger knows this, but in addition to watching silently, getting up and shouting is not his usual style, and in the face of the passive situation in front of him, he has not many options, and he lacks some ignorance.

In the previous game, his decision-making errors caused the team to fall into passivity repeatedly. If it weren't for the incredible energy of his disciples in a desperate situation, he and the Arsenal team would have been the target of Qianfu, and maybe the whole season would have taken a sharp turn and eventually nothing.

While everyone makes mistakes, the impact of making a mistake at this juncture and causing the team to pay an unnecessarily huge amount of consumption will inevitably have far-reaching consequences. The players don't talk about it, but they inevitably mutter, and it's hard not to assume another possibility.

Wouldn't it be safer to play as Steady, like Manchester United, until the title is in the bag?

This assumption exists in the bottom of the heart, shaking the originally firm faith, and it is difficult to say whether it will turn into a crisis of confidence under certain conditions.

You Mo didn't take any action, not because he didn't want to, but because the time hadn't come.

In any team, the authority of the manager must be maintained, and if they are shaken by one or two mistakes, a greater price awaits them not far ahead. Because the role of this product in this team is so special, the stronger the presence in this situation, the easier it is to magnify the impact of mistakes.

I just turn the page first and talk about it when I have the right opportunity.

"I heard that Frederick lives in your house now?"

Piret still remembered the previous topic, and was very suspicious of the sexual orientation of the guy next to him.

"Yes, in just one week, he has become half Chinese." You Mo didn't doubt it, so he answered casually.

"No wonder you turned down Ashley Cole!" Pire exclaimed, "I see! ”

"Damn!"

The guy who was named originally wanted to express his opinion, but the scene that happened on the field made everyone curse at the same time.

Only 12 minutes into the game, the veteran Dixon kicked the ball when he cleared the ball, and the Stoke City player calmly accepted the big gift and stabbed the net in the penalty area!

Losing a goal leaves people speechless, and it is not a small blow to the morale that is already not high.

If the opponent performs well, conceding a goal is inevitable, and no one will complain about it. This kind of behavior of giving away a big gift is really to blame, and no matter how generous a guy is, he will feel that he can't afford to hurt it.

But the other party is a veteran who is over 35 years old and is about to retire, and his physical condition has not been maintained well, and he has had few opportunities to play recently, and mistakes are simply normal!

In this case, everyone can only knock out their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, one by one casually return to their own positions, waiting for the kick-off.

In fact, it is inevitable that there will be thoughts in the heart.

Since the centre-back has been short for so long, why has the club been slow to take action and only buy a little-known young player like Kolo Toure in the two transfer windows?

Martin Keown, who played in a hurry in the last game, also underperformed due to a lack of playing opportunities, and the team's rotation did not play as well as it should, who is to blame for this?

The substitute lineup is not even as good as the mid-table teams in the Premier League, so what kind of third-line battle to take?

These doubts hung in the air, disrupting the normal rhythm of the game, so that Arsenal's performance still did not improve in the following time, and there was no shame and courage to catch up when they were behind at home.

A few guys on the bench were also a little lazy and lifeless.

Yumo still hasn't made any moves, he's still waiting.

He is very aware that after the crisis is passed safely, there will definitely be different degrees of slackness, which is human nature, and too much force will be counterproductive. He doesn't really think that many unbeaten games are important, and he shares Ferguson's view that two draws are better than winning one and losing one.

In his view, since contradictions have arisen, blindly settling things and calming people is not the solution. When the contradictions intensify and the opposing views of each other are obvious, the time is ripe for resolution, and the effect is much better than preventing problems before they are burned.

Just like the immune system in the body, if it is not properly tested, it will inevitably reveal its vulnerable side when the crisis comes.

He didn't want to be a firefighter, rushing to the front line wherever there was danger.

That's what an executor should do, which is not in line with his character, but also excessively drains his energy.

"Whew...... It's finally over. ”

The first half ended 0-1, and the guys on the bench finally breathed a sigh of relief as the players on the field walked slowly down.

The feeling of watching your own team useless is really aggrieved.

"Have some fun?"

Yumo raised his foot to take Ashley Cole's pass and lazily replied.

"Thierry and Chloe are also there, why don't you two vtwo?"

"Great idea!"

After a few words, a peculiar half-time break began in the middle of Highbury Field.

Pire was in charge of passing, Manninger was in goal, and Ashley Cole was supposed to be in charge of defending, but this guy protested strongly, claiming that he was a defender and that the defender was only a cameo. In the end, he and Thierry Henry attacked, with Kolo Toure and Jumo continuing to partner as the main centre-backs.

Because it is a warm-up performance, although the four guys have a clear action, the effect they pursue is more inclined to entertainment, so all kinds of wonderful scenes began to be staged, attracting the Stoke City players who warmed up together.

This gave great comfort to the fans who came to watch the game, and many guys who had been scolding for a long time regained their smiles on their faces, and they leaned back and fell back.

In their opinion, the team's poor performance is only caused by the lack of depth in the squad, as long as these guys are present in front of them, they can beat the hateful Stoke City team to the north!

The originally difficult 15 minutes ended quickly in the passionate performance of these people, and everyone felt that they could not get enough.

The same is true for the four guys who are facing each other head-to-head on the field.

"How does it feel?"

You Mo wiped his sweat and asked in a remote voice.

"It's not fun, it's too short!" Ashley finished answering and turned to Henry, "We should use our foot skills to decide the winner, we can't give them a chance to be close!" ”

"I didn't expect you to know Thierry so well." Chlo Toure smiled innocently, "It seems that his every move is what you expected, and all the methods can't completely get rid of your defense!" ”

Hearing such a boast, You Mo smiled very happily,

"He's my direct competitor, so I can't figure it out from head to toe!"

……

Few people have been able to combine individual combat ability with teamwork as well as Thierry Henry in the centre-forward position.

Anelka can't, and neither can Yumo.

This is the product of a combination of talent and character, which is irreproducible and has a strong personal color.

So how to limit this all-round warrior-type center has become a difficult problem for You Mo in the central defender position.

It is clear that as professional football moves forward at a high speed, the role of the center forward is becoming more and more complex, and the role in the tactical system is becoming more and more important.

A purely opportunistic forward style like his previous one will reduce the team's ability to control the midfield, and when facing opponents in the same class, they can often only resort to defensive counter-attacking tactics.

This had a big impact on the team's original tactical system, and it was the main reason for Arsenal's collapse last season. If he does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, his role in the offensive organization must be strengthened, and his individual combat ability with the ball must be improved.

If you want to successfully complete the transformation task, in addition to the guidance of famous teachers, your teammates around you are the best role models.

So Henry became a great template for him, whether it was a game, a training session, or watching videos at home, he was the focus of attention. Over time, the other party's every move is familiar to the chest.

There were times when the two of them were in direct confrontation during team training, but at that time, they were at least four against four, which did not reflect the effect of direct confrontation between the two. Now it's a two-v-two of a performance, and the degree of understanding between each other determines the outcome of the confrontation, so this thing turned into a big demon king in a second, and Henry was out of temper.

However, the all-round warrior is all-powerful after all, and it is an instinctive reaction to find another way when this road does not work. The two guys who are obviously superior in technology can also interpret the offense through beautiful cooperation.

"I really didn't expect that our original agreement could come to this point."

When he sat down on the bench, Henry sighed.

In the hearts of the French, this guy in front of him has magical powers, and what happened before is not surprising.

This kind of trust that borders on worship exists in the hearts of many Arsenal players, and if it weren't for the high status of this thing, all kinds of praise can make people's ears callous.

"yes, plans can't keep up with the changes. But fortunately, our goal doesn't seem to be a fantasy, and there is still a chance to achieve it. After You Mo finished sighing, his voice changed: "Martin Taylor is an old man, so he didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Henry grinned, and several large white teeth appeared on his dark face, "No, he asked me for advice privately on issues that might cause over-interpretation. ”

After that, he leaned closer and lowered his voice: "He's a little worried......"

"What is there to worry about." You Mo interrupted the other party's words with a big grin, turned his head to look at the head coach who had just sat firmly in his position, and said with a smile: "It's worth worrying about smooth sailing on the road to success, and nothing else is worth it." ”

"Damn!" Ashley Cole decisively came out to steal the show, his voice was loud and presumptuous, "It means that it is too smooth and boring, so we have to suffocate everyone, and the honor we won can be remembered forever?" ”

The loud voice really caught Wenger's attention, and the famous poker face frowned deeply, his eyes clouded and his eyes darkened.

"If it hadn't been for the previous incident, it would have been a bit risky." You Mo's voice sounded quickly, although it was not loud, but the sufficient middle qi easily pricked up everyone's ears.

"What?" Ashley Cole listened.

"Of course it's me as an assistant coach." You Mo looked disapproving, as if everyone around him had amnesia, and he needed to be reminded before he could continue, "Otherwise, will we have to pay such a big price along the way?" ”

"Huh?"

All the audience was stunned.

It sounds far away, but it's only been less than three months, and it really shouldn't be forgotten so soon.

Is it because I saw the dawn of victory that I became urgent and forgot my original intention?

"yes, if you didn't have to be an assistant coach, our friendship would be much purer than it is now!"

Ashley Cole said indignantly, decisively causing a burst of laughter that had been tried to suppress.

Even Wenger's gloomy face leaked a smile.

"Tsk, pure friendship......" Piret still remembered.

You Mo's loud voice couldn't hold back any longer.

"Roberto, do you dare to come to my house and find out?" (To be continued.) )
