As Yang Cheng said when he warned Xiao Xiaoluo, this is a world full of imperfections.

Therefore, on the football field, there can never be a perfect team, nor can there be a perfect set of tactics, the key is how to cover up all the shortcomings in a football game, and then infinitely magnify the advantages.

In this game, Yang Cheng decided to bet!

Liverpool's advantages are the speed and impact of Robben and Drogba, as well as the pulling and running of the frontcourt players, coupled with the physical fitness and offensive and defensive strength of the midfielders, so that once Liverpool is pressed out to play, it can always play a simple and rough attack that is terrifying.

In terms of tuning and coaching offense, Yang Cheng is definitely the best head coach in football today, and even one of them can be dismissed.

But Liverpool's shortcomings are control and a lack of rhythm.

Yang Cheng's tactics in this game are very clear, attacking at the beginning, attacking Arsenal has to defend, and completely impacting Arsenal with a fast, almost unreasonable attack, striving for the first goal, so that the game is tilted in the direction of Liverpool's favor.

This is a very risky tactic, and Benitez is against it, because everyone knows very well that once Arsenal has held this period of time and survived the most fierce Liverpool attack, then what awaits Liverpool will be Arsenal's counterattack.

With a decline in fitness, an unfavorable attack, and a lack of control of the field, Liverpool is likely to be beaten into a sieve by Arsenal at that time, directly creating a big score, just like the big win over Chelsea in the first round.

According to the Spaniards, it is better to defend and counterattack, first stabilize the defense and then try to counterattack, which may be difficult to win, but at least it can ensure that the risk is minimized.

But Yang Cheng decided to gamble.

"Rafa, sometimes in addition to rational analysis and consideration, sometimes we have to consider other factors, momentum, my team can lose, can lose very badly, but absolutely can't lose momentum, can't lose confidence, even if I want to lose, I have to lose so that all the players can straighten their chests and get out of Anfield."

Therefore, when everyone felt that Liverpool should adopt a more conservative tactic, Yang Cheng suddenly pressed on the attack, and it was a desperate attack that gave up everything.

The whirlwind in the first half and the complete break in the second half have become the most obvious signs of Liverpool this season.

The KOPs in the stands were all very cool and enjoyable, and they all saw that Liverpool was taking the initiative to attack, and Arsenal was forced to go on the defensive.

"Kill those smashers, Liverpool come on!!"

"Charge me, kill them, kill them!!"

"Goal! We're going to see goals!! More and more goals!! ”

The fans in the stands shouted happily, and under the stands, the Liverpool players in the stadium also attacked fiercely.

…………

"Didier, what's your greatest strength?"

In Drogba's mind, the question from the first conversation between Yang Cheng and him came to mind.

"Body? Header? Velocity? Stamina? Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, it's not, in my opinion, your biggest advantage is your diligence and hard work, sooner or later your physical fitness will weaken with your age, but your diligence and hard work can keep you improving in any situation." ”

"You've got a great body, you have to know how to make good use of them, you can't rely on them too much, but you have to use them well and make them a nightmare for defenders all over the world."

"In the game, you have to run more, pull more, impact more, wear down the physical fitness of the opposing defenders as much as possible, make them tired, and then they will be slaughtered by you!"

At that time, Drogba firmly remembered Yang Cheng's words.

As a player, he is very aware of his strengths and weaknesses, holding the ball with his back is his strength, but frontal attack is his weakness, so Yang Cheng specifically asked him to carve the ability to take the ball and turn, but it takes time, so before that, if he wants to gain a foothold in the Premier League and a top team like Liverpool, he must put in more effort and sweat than others. ,

He knows full well that he can never be the kind of top superstar who shines, but he can be the most indispensable striker for the team, and that's exactly the role Yang wants him to play.

So he was running all the game, responding to his teammates, running back and forth, making Arsenal's backline also shift, Campbell and Toure, the two central defenders not only had to keep an eye on him at all times, but also stick to him, and from time to time they had to have a direct physical confrontation, which was a big drain on their physical fitness, and it was also a test of their concentration.

And as long as one doesn't pay attention a little, it's like this time......

When Reese advanced with the ball and passed the ball to Robben, the Dutchman singled out Lauren on the left flank, and because of the previous one-on-one, Robben had taken out Lauren, so this time Vieira withdrew to help defend the pinch.

But Robben didn't stick to the ball this time and chose to knock the ball back in the face of Lauren and Vieira's sandwich.

Davis took a few steps straight forward after receiving the ball, and in the area near the edge of the penalty area, it seemed that there was no intention of passing.

In the tactical arrangement before the game, Wenger focused on the defense to beware of Liverpool's back row to insert the attack, Davies and Gerrard both have excellent long-range scoring ability, so he asked the defenders, once these two players get the ball in the front of the box, there must be a person to stick up.

Kolo Toure didn't hesitate and went straight out of the box and blocked between Davies and the goal.

But as soon as he came out, before he was in front of Davis, he saw the black face of this Dutch wild boar, showing that row of white teeth, he was about to get up and shoot, and deceived Toure to block sideways, but suddenly plugged straight behind him.

It's a long process, but it actually happens in an instant.

Didier Drogba was already stupid as soon as Toure came out, and he used his speed almost immediately to run diagonally from the right side of the penalty spot to the left.

Campbell couldn't match the Ivorians in terms of speed, especially Drogba's explosiveness, and suddenly preempted the England central defenders, but Campbell also chased closely.

Davies's pass came to Drogba, and he saw that after the Ivorian received the ball, he made a sharp stop, and Campbell, who was catching up from behind, couldn't retract his momentum, was thrown away, adjusted, cross-flicked, and fired a volley with his right foot.

Goalkeeper Lehmann was also deceived into turning his weight to the left, and Drogba suddenly turned to the right, and he didn't have time to adjust as he watched as this intricate shot drilled into the Arsenal goal.

"Wowhaha, you move again, if you have the ability, you can move another 20 meters, and the old man will still draw the ball in!"

After Drogba scored the goal, he rushed past Campbell triumphantly, clenched his right hand into a fist, and shouted excitedly, he was obviously using this move to retaliate for Campbell's blow to him just now.

I saw the Ivorians rushing to the sidelines, excitedly shaking their fists at the Liverpool fans in the stands in celebration.

And behind him, the Liverpool players have rushed up one by one.

"In the 26th minute, Liverpool, who had been unable to attack for a long time, finally broke through Arsenal's goal, and it was a goal from Drogba!"

'Toure was a little too big and was seduced by Davies to lose his position, which led to a gap in Drogba.

"From this goal, we saw a typical Yang Cheng-style running combination, Davies took the ball to attract Toure forward, Drogba directly behind Toure, the whole process came naturally, as for Drogba's shot after shaking Campbell, we can only say, is this still the big Ivory Coast?"

Andy Gray laughed, "I didn't expect him to be able to have such a thin side, Campbell was depressed, was directly shaken away by Drogba, and conceded a goal!" ”

…………

…………

Yang Cheng clenched his fists happily at the same time as Drogba scored, turned around and high-fived Benitez, Paul Baier and others.

"Beautiful!" He felt that the moment Drogba shook off Campbell was indeed beautiful.

Maybe Drogba doesn't have a strong nose for shooting, but his technique is actually not bad.

"I'll just say that Arsenal's defense can't stop our attack at all, you don't believe it, look!" Yang Cheng looked at Benitez with a smile. ,

The Spaniard smiled wryly, he had to admit that Yang Cheng had made the right bet again.

It's not that he gambled right every game, in fact, Yang Cheng has also lost and drawn, he has made mistakes in these games, especially the one that lost to Charlton, Liverpool's lifeblood was firmly grasped, the opponent used defense to support Liverpool's attack, and then wait until your physical strength is almost exhausted, a counterattack, you are finished.

That kind of game is very depressing, and Yang Cheng can't do anything about it, because the flaws are obviously there.

Therefore, the key to testing Yang Cheng's coaching skills is whether his team can crush the opponent before he runs out of energy.

That's why Andy Gray will say that Liverpool's attack is a whirlwind!

"Ready to defend?" Paul Byer asked.

Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "No, no, Paul, you're too conservative!" ”

Everyone immediately laughed, this bastard, a goal made him like that, too nouveau riche.

"If we defend now, Wenger will definitely fight back, the game is still so long, we can't hold it, and then continue to strengthen the attack!" Yang Cheng quickly analyzed the situation on the court.

"It's better to score a few more goals against him!" I guess that's what he wants to see the most.

Then, Yang Cheng asked for a pen and paper, and wrote down three instructions with a brush.

"If Toure makes a mistake, there will definitely be a shadow in his heart, and this player is more reckless, focus on hitting him at this point, pull him out more, and hit him behind!" This is a note from Yang Cheng to Drogba.

"Go forward, fight Drogba, hit behind Toure!" This is for Davis.

"Pull out Toure in the middle and cut in from the ribs!" This is for Robben.

The three notes were quickly passed on the field, and Yang Cheng's latest request was also known to the players as soon as possible.

…………

…………

The moment Wenger scored in Drogba, his whole heart was clenched, his fists were clenched, and his eyes stared straight at the group of guys in red jerseys on the pitch, and his eyes were like knives.

Arsenal are unbeaten in seven games so far this season, which is Wenger's best start to the Premier League, it is a dream start, and it has also made Wenger ambitious, and what is even more rare is that this Arsenal team has played a controlling and gorgeous football that has never been seen in the Premier League, earning the cheers and cheers of the fans.

All professionals know very well that in the Premier League, the control of the rhythm determines the strength of a team, and Wenger's team, with a wave of attack and the most gorgeous control football, also indirectly covers up some of its own problems.

In the backline, especially in the combination of centre-backs, he has never been able to find the right fit.

This problem may be diluted by the strong control of the midfield when it encounters other teams, but when it comes to Manchester United and Liverpool, it will become clear.

Campbell and Keown are both young, especially Keown, although experienced, but Arsene Wenger is ready to take him back to the second line this season, but Toure, Senderos and Sigan are not the kind of central defenders who can be reassured, Toure has a lot of potential, but his career is relatively short, he only started his professional football training in 2000, and he lacks experience.

However, the position of central defender is the most experience-oriented.

"What now?" Pat Rice stepped forward and asked.

Wenger's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and he said word by word: "Let them do everything they can to control the rhythm for me!" ”

Even now, he still hasn't given up on the pursuit of rhythm, and in fact, this is also a very correct way of thinking, because against Liverpool, who lack rhythm control, as long as Arsenal control the rhythm, they are finished.

"Tell Toure to be careful, don't leave his place easily!" Before Pat Rice left, Arsene Wenger added that he had always had a headache with his centre-back combination, but there was no better fit.

Pat Rice immediately relayed that onto the pitch.

…………,

…………

Arsenal wanted to stabilize the situation, slow down the tempo and then control it, but Liverpool were united and tried as fast as possible through quick passes and pressing in midfield.

After Arsenal restarted, Liverpool started pressing, the gunners were forced to move the ball quickly, the midfielder couldn't control it at all, when the ball came to the backfield, as soon as he harassed, he immediately passed to the front with a big foot, and the ball was lost.

Arsene Wenger was so angry on the sidelines that he wanted to scold his mother, but there was nothing he could do.

Liverpool now have two beasts, one is Drogba in front, the Ivory Coast Monster, the other is Davies in the midfield, the Dutch boar, the former is responsible for harassing the backline, the latter is responsible for harassing the midfield, and the two guys have become the most troublesome figures for opponents.

Last week, the Thai Companions gave the two of them a nickname, the Premier League Double Beast!

'It should be said that Liverpool are too fast, they don't play very well, they make a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, but obviously Arsenal are even worse, they are too tired by Liverpool's rhythm to play the fluid attacking combination that they are good at.

Andy Gray smiled wryly, he recently heard a Chinese proverb that shows up when he meets soldiers!

Arsenal, the Sven show, just met Liverpool's unreasonable ruffian, it was really speechless!

"Another obvious problem is that after Arsenal usually control the tempo, the midfield pressing has always been unhurried, in order to give full play to the advantage of the midfield control ball play, through the midfield organization, but now, this problem is used by Liverpool, Vieira and Gilberto did not actively press in the midfield, so that Liverpool in the midfield is very smooth to adjust."

"Perhaps, at this time, Wenger should consider a different style of play, let Liverpool go fast, stabilize the defense first, wait for Liverpool to slow down, and then he will press hard, maybe this will be more effective."

Speaking of which, Andy Gray saw it again, Drogba made a fuss on Toure, leaned on Toure with his body, and knocked back to Gerrard, who was inserted in the back row, and Gerrard's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Campbell.

"Also, Toure's strengths and weaknesses are obvious, and in this kind of game, his shortcomings are clearly understood by Yang Cheng, so why doesn't Wenger consider the more experienced Keown?"

Wenger knows that he is suffering, and with Keown, in the fast pace, he may not die more miserably.

Just when Andy Gray looked at the clock, it was already 37 minutes, and the game was likely to start to be flat, but Liverpool suddenly launched a round of attack.

After Kuyt, who was joined by Gerrard on the right, cut off the ball at the feet of Pire, the Dutchman and Gerrard played a link-up, and Gerrard won the ball on the right side of the edge of the box before Drogbal pulled out of the box.

Kolo Toure followed Drogba closely, and the two were locked in at the edge of the box.

After a slight adjustment, Gerrard unleashed a cross that headed over Drogba's head.

Drogba had to suppress Toure regardless of height, position, and judgment, and after judging the incoming ball, he firmly blocked Toure behind him and leaned over to rub the ball.

The ball was grazed by the top of Drogba's head, directly past Toure behind him, and fell behind Toure.

Everyone only reacted at this time, but Toure was empty behind him, and the Campbells were still on the right, guarding Gerrard and Kuyt.

A fiery red figure was inserted at high speed from the left rib of the penalty area, like the speed of the wind, shook off Lauren, crossed Toure, and stopped the ball in his chest, and saw the attacking Lehmann, and deftly picked the ball past the attacking Lehmann with his left foot, and then chased up, and pushed the shot, and penetrated the Arsenal goal again.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！” Andy Gray exclaimed.

"Liverpool scored another goal, a header from Drogba, Robben inserted it into the left rib, deftly picked off Lehmann, and scored the second goal of the game for Liverpool, which was almost a goal that sentenced Arsenal to death!"

"In the 37th minute of the first half, Liverpool scored again, 2:0!"

"Arsenal are dangerous, the seven-game unbeaten run has covered up so many of their problems, so much so that Arsene Wenger has never taken a good look at the shortcomings of the centre-backs, and now Liverpool's two goals in a row have been played against the shortcomings of the centre-backs, especially Kolo Toure, who is too vulnerable."

"Arsene Wenger should really think about how they are going to play in the second half!"

"With Arsenal's attacking strength, coupled with Liverpool's fast-paced play throughout the first half, it is not impossible for Arsenal to reverse the opponent in the second half, but the problem is that Wenger has to stabilize his defense first!"

The two goals in quick succession sent the fans in the stands at Anfield into such a frenzy that they were already cheering and celebrating, as if they had already won the game early.

Only Yang Cheng is the only one, he is very calm.

"The real test has just begun!". ）
