April 2 evening, London, Emirates Stadium.

When the referee half-blew the whistle for the end of the game, Yang Cheng calmly applauded the players who walked down the court.

Although Real Madrid did not win Arsenal in this game, but finally tamed and lost the opponent, this is not an unacceptable situation for Real Madrid, because Real Madrid will learn Arsenal a good lesson when they return to their home stadium.

The most important point of the Champions League knockout stage is not to obsess over the 90 minutes of the game, but how to beat the opponent in 180 minutes, which is the key to winning the knockout round, so there is no point in obsessing over the 90-minute defeat.

But from this game, Yang Cheng also saw Arsenal's problems.

It was David Beckham who scored the away goal for Real Madrid, and Beckham, who appeared in the right wing-forward position in this game, was more of a drop back to set the stage for full-back Ramos to get on and the Englishman scored a shot into the box to equalise for Real Madrid.

However, Beckham was then shown a yellow card and awarded a penalty to Real Madrid after being breached by Hleb and pulling down the Belarusian in the box, and Arsenal eventually beat Real Madrid from home.

In this game, Wenger's backline discharged the combination of Klich, Gallas, Senderos and Toure, but Toure, who has not played at right-back for a long time, was very uncomfortable, and was eaten by Marcelo many times, plus Senderos who stood on the right performed poorly, and was played by Villa many times Yang Cheng has realized Arsenal's holes in defense.

Klich has a strong attack and weak defense, a lack of positional sense, and Toure has a lot of problems playing on the right side, plus Senderos, the only more reliable thing in the current Arsenal backline is Gallas, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and you will see you again at the Bernabeu!

Of course, Arsenal's game is not completely without highlights, the biggest highlight of the Gunners' game is Van Persie, although the Dutch striker has a lot of injuries, but he still seized one of the few opportunities in this game to open the scoring for Arsenal.

The Dutch Robiners have so far not really shown the quality of his Bergkamp successor and Henry's replacement, which is inconsistent with the praise and high recognition of him from the outside world, but in fact, he can create a threat as long as he is on the court, because he is also a talented player.

From a technical point of view, Van Persie's strength lies in his stopping, many people praise his ability to adjust after receiving the ball, in fact, this is because his stopping is very good, and he can stop the ball where he wants it to go, which creates the illusion that he is well adjusted, in fact, his stopping is excellent, which is what he most resembles Bergkamp.

After stopping the ball, the technical action looks very chic and calm!

Another characteristic of his when facing the goal is that he can use the smallest leg swing in the tightest gap to make the most powerful shots, which allows him to create a threat even in the most densely populated penalty area, and this sudden shot will catch the goalkeeper off guard.

That was his first goal of the game, and even if Casillas reacted quickly, he couldn't save the ball.

However, compared to Robinxia, Adebayor's recent form has been very poor, and the whole game with Van Persie is also very average.

"Back at the Bernabeu, we're going to have to separate them and stare them to death!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Compared with Van Persie, who was eye-catching on the front line, Cesc Fabregas was suppressed by Mascherano in this game, and the Argentine's strong pressing and targeted defense in the midfield, especially targeting Fabregas's right foot anytime and anywhere, imprisoning him from holding the ball with the ball, forced him to behave very average in the game. …,

One factor in Real Madrid's favour is that Arsenal play Liverpool at the weekend, but Real Madrid can stay in Mallorca for next week's Champions League, which Arsenal do not have, and they now have to fight for the Premier League title this season, which makes it impossible for them to stay in the league.

There is a lot of suspense about who will win the Premier League this season, with Alex Ferguson's Manchester United at the top of the table, and after a few years of adjustment, the Reds have shown good momentum again this season, but Liverpool in second place, Chelsea in third and Arsenal in fourth place are not far behind.

At present, the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United at the top of the table is only 3 points, it can be said that the league title is still full of suspense, Wenger is determined to fight, and the opponent is the direct champion rival Liverpool, and the fifth Everton is also chasing fiercely, which makes Wenger dare not be careless.

"I'm reluctant to say it, but I have to say that you guys have worked so hard to win!" Yang Cheng waited until Wenger came over, and said with a smile.

Arsene Wenger smiled, "Anyway, we got a win at home!" ”

"But at the Bernabeu, you're not going to be so lucky!" Yang Cheng said, "Your biggest problem is that the away record is too fluctuating, and at the Bernabeu, I will completely break down your defense!" He clenched his fists and threatened.

Arsene Wenger nodded, "Just let the horses come!" ”

Arsenal's biggest problem is also youth, as Yang Cheng said when he hit Arsene Wenger, you always keep selling the star, selling Vieira, selling Henry, selling Ashley Tadle, slowly, you give the team and players an illusion, that is, there is almost no one in the Arsenal team who cannot be sold.

For Wenger to insist on his own philosophy too stubbornly, once he is over 30 years old, he will adopt a strategy of signing once a year, which is another blow to the players, because they clearly see from this strategy that they have no Zhu Lai at all, since they are going to leave at the age of 30, I might as well leave early!

Almost every time he loses, Wenger will explain it with lack of experience, but in fact, it is okay to lose half a time, always inexperienced, it is a little too much, after all, any team will mature, unless you keep selling mature stars to bring in young semi-finished products, that is, of course, forever young.

Yang Cheng also told Wenger about this, but the French still go their own way.

In any case, Arsene Wenger deserves respect, because he is one of the very few idealists in the utilitarian football circle that has been rampant at the moment, and for this reason, he deserves respect!

A week later, when they drew with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, met Lima at the Bernabeu and drew away at Mallorca, Arsene Wenger had a vague sense of foreboding.

Yang Cheng's lineup for this game has changed from when he was at the Emirates Stadium, the goalkeeper is still Casillas, and the back line from left to right is Marcelo, Thiago, Silva, Ramos and Arbeloa, this line of defense is also Real Madrid's defense line at the Emirates Stadium After all, after Pepe's injury, Ramos is the main central defender.

The double midfielders are Xavi, Alonso and Mascherano, which is also the same as in the first leg, but David and Silva, who played left winger in the first leg, were transferred to the right by Yang Cheng, and replaced by Real Madrid academy youngster Mata to play the main left winger, the forward is still Kaka, and Villa continues to play a single striker.

With this set of lineups laid out, Wenger has already realized that Yang Cheng wants to play attacking tactics on the left and Mata is his surprise soldier.

Although he is also a left winger, in fact, the characteristics of Mata and David and Silva are completely different. …,

David, Silva is more organized, more delicate and imaginative, can not only control the tempo, but also can take the ball to get rid of the push and play deep and he has a lot of assists, he is the assist leader of the Real Madrid team this season, so he looks more like a passer who cuts inside on the wing.

Juan Mata is the opposite, he is a striker, he is very average in terms of organization but very delicate in technique, like all small Spanish players, he is good at working together in tight areas, he is very aware and can pass the last pass, but he is not as imaginative as David and Silva, but he is sharper on the wings, more threatening in crosses, and more lethal in the ribs after cutting inside with the ball.

The technical characteristics are different, and the threats created are also different.

In the first leg of the Emirates Stadium, facing Cojörgen Toure, Real Madrid's left side relied more on the cooperation of Marcelo and Villa, David and Silva often took the ball to participate in the organization and response, and also broke through on the side, but the threat was not great.

But in the first leg, Marcelo caused trouble to Cozi Toure, which made Yang Cheng hopeful, so in this game, he took advantage of Beckham's suspension to transfer David and Silva to the right side, let Mata play on the left side, and use Mata and Marcelo to take turns to attack the area where Cohai Toure is stationed.

Although Arsene Wenger was on the safe side, giving up Adebayo and choosing Van Persie, playing Feng and tactically, arranging three players in the middle, Flamini, Cesc Fabregas and Diaby, but it was still firmly suppressed by Real Madrid using the home advantage after the opening.

The first minute, that's ha... After Alonso and Marcelo combined to cut off the ball at the feet of Eboue, who was playing at right midfield, the Spaniard knocked directly behind Eboue, and Marcelo won the ball and passed through.

Juan Mata pulled back to win the ball and then turned around, Cesc Fabregas leaned in from the side and Cozitoure also stared at the Real Madrid youngster.

According to the responsibilities given to Mata by Yang Cheng in this game, he can decide whether to break through or cut inside on the side according to the situation, so as soon as he turned around, he noticed that he was still a certain distance from Fabregas, and suddenly soared his top speed, he suddenly rushed, so that Fabregas was a little caught off guard, it was too late to accelerate and block, and he wanted to drag him, but he didn't grab the shirt.

Mata suddenly accelerated, and suddenly shortened the distance between himself and Kolo and Toure, and the Ivorian immediately pasted it, but Mata made a sudden stop, suddenly changed direction, and took the ball to Koha... Toure on the left.

The tall Mata is like a loach, squeezing out a gap in the double-layer defense of Cojörgen Toure and Fabregas, dribbling the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area to attract Senderos, a straight ball, straight behind the defense, Villa inserted at high speed and achieved it overnight, 1:0!

“ＧOOＬ！！！！！”

In the "first" minute, Real Madrid's youth youngster Mata made a straight plug after a continuous breakthrough on the left side and assisted Villa to open the scoring! ”

"2:2 Real Madrid tied Arsenal on aggregate, and the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Gunners, because Real Madrid has an away goal in hand, which forces Arsenal to press out and play, otherwise, continue to maintain this score, and the last laugh is Real Madrid!"

'The Arsenal players are so tired that they have played three tough games in a week, two against Real Madrid and one against Liverpool, all of which are games that cannot be missed, and the tired Cesc Fabregas and Kojel Toure are clearly unable to keep up with Mata's pace and rhythm, and they are not physically excited enough to play in shape, especially in terms of speed.

After scoring the first goal, Real Madrid continued their current tactics and continued to launch a round of onslaught on Arsenal's left flank. …,

In the 33rd minute, David and Silva won the ball on the right and crossed to Kaka, the Brazilian moved to the left again, and Mata forced a break through Colo Toure on the left and won a corner for Real Madrid.

Several players with excellent header ability in the Real Madrid team have come up, and in the absence of Pepe, Real Madrid's high-ball ability has not had much advantage, and there is only one Ramos, so ha... After Alonso drove the ball out, he handed it to Kaka, and the Brazilian rubbed out a curling ball, which fell straight to the back point, Ramos shook off Senderos, who was marking, and then nodded the ball to the goal, for Real Madrid to score again, 2:0!

"3:2, Real Madrid completed the reversal on aggregate!!"

'Senderos was to blame for the goal he conceded, and he clearly focused all his attention on Ramos and didn't notice Kaka's cross, so much so that he was thrown away by Ramos and didn't get in front of the Spaniard in time to allow the latter to score with an easy header.

'This goal has put Arsenal completely on the back foot, they now have to hit Real Madrid twice at the Bernabeu to qualify, but it's obviously very difficult!

After scoring two goals in a row, Real Madrid began to patiently look for opportunities and began to consciously let Arsenal press up, but the Gunners did not have such thoughts throughout the first half.

It wasn't until the second half that Van Persie took advantage of a pull to the left side of Real Madrid to respond, and after winning the ball, he successfully reversed offside, shook Thiago Tilva on the left side of Real Madrid's penalty area, and crossed low to the goal, and Diaby, who was inserted behind, pulled a goal back for Arsenal.

As if seeing the glimmer of hope, Arsenal began to launch a fierce attack, but less than six minutes later, Real Madrid once again played a counter-attack on the left, Matara won the ball in the middle and passed to Marcelo, who quickly broke through on the wing, forced past Kolo, Toure, and crossed low into the front of the box.

Kaka cut in, leaned on Senderos with his body, and swept the ball with his left foot into Almunia to extend the score again.

H just saw hope, but was ruthlessly harvested again, Arsenal's morale was exhausted, Wenger hung his head on the sidelines, put his hands on his waist, and walked slowly, looking disappointed.

Since Campbell, Arsenal have always lacked a consistent frontal defender, not that Wenger didn't want to, but he couldn't find the right one, originally he wanted to use Koha... The combination of Toure and Gallas, but Sagna's injury disrupted Arsene Wenger's plans, and he was not comfortable with Eboue playing full-back, so he let Kolo and Toure move to the right.

Unexpectedly, this step not only cost him a solid central defender, but also caused him to lose his right side.

If Yang Cheng slyly used the minutes at the Emirates Stadium to test Arsenal, then when he arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium, he began to come up with a real killer feature, at least the combination of Juan, Mata and Marcelo's left side created a huge threat, completely turning Arsenal's right side into Real Madrid's exclusive lane.

Another thing worth Wenger's caution is that when Arsenal finally pulled back a goal, the players were a little out of control, they were suppressed by Real Madrid for a long time, and after finally breaking free, they began to want to rush to reverse the aggregate score, but ignored that they were at the Bernabeu Stadium, facing Real Madrid, the most attacking Madrid in Europe this season.

In the final analysis, Arsenal's bench is still not enough, at least Wenger is not like Yang Cheng, he can combine his different skills and tactics according to different opponents at will, and at critical moments, Arsenal lacks surprising winning odds, and Yang Cheng said at the Emirates Stadium that the rhetoric of breaking Arsenal's defense has also been confirmed. …,

Hu Zhimata, this game has become a wonder soldier in the hands of Yang Cheng!

As the game drew closer to the end, Arsenal, who were already in a physical disadvantage, became more passive on the field.

In the 85th minute, Xavi and Alonso went straight in the middle, and after Kaka got the ball with his back to Fabregas, he used his physical advantage to suppress the Spaniard, and passed the ball sideways to David and Silva on the right side, who took advantage of the situation and tore through Arsenal's defense.

Villa leaned on Gallas, passed the left side of the French defender, received a pass from David, and fired a volley with his right foot, and the ball rolled into the Arsenal goal almost grazed the right post, 4:1!

It was a goal that sealed the victory, especially in front of the Arsenal players, who were already clearly not fit enough to keep up with the pace of the game, and with an aggregate score of 5:3, they had to score two goals in the final minutes to secure qualification, which was undoubtedly impossible.

Although at the last moment, Wenger finally let go and replaced Diaby with Adebayo to further strengthen the attack, but in the end he failed to stage a miracle of the final moment of the reversal at the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid finally eliminated Arsenal from the top 8 of the Champions League with an aggregate score of 5:3 with a total score of 4:1 at home, and advanced to the semifinals!

And in the other game at the same time, Chelsea lost 2 away to Fenerbahce at home Z. Having beaten their opponents, the two midfielders Ballack and Frank Lampard have been instrumental in establishing Chelsea.

Playing a day later than Real Madrid, Barcelona lost 3-1 at Anfield after a 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool, and eventually was eliminated from the last eight of the Champions League, while Manchester United saw off Serie A giants Roma with an aggregate score of 3-0.

As a result, the four teams in the Champions League semi-finals have all been released, namely Liverpool's rivalry against Manchester United, and the revenge battle between Chelsea and Real Madrid! ）
