Chapter 789
The game started on time at 7:45 p.m. against the defending champion Hoffenheim. The Emirates Stadium, which is usually hard to get a ticket, is now worth a hundred gold. When there are still 20 minutes before the kick-off time, the fans basically enter the stadium It's over.Those stranded on the sidelines were fans of the two teams who did not have tickets but wanted to experience the atmosphere of the battle up close.

The on-site commentator is introducing the lineups of both sides. As each name is announced, there will be a burst of warm applause over the Emirates Stadium. There was even a very shocking scene. All the fans stood up and applauded at the same time. I don’t know if this is because the Arsenal fans deliberately put pressure on the Hoffenheim people. Anyway, this made the Hoffenheim generals and fans a little Embarrassed, especially Lannick, whose expression was as dark as the night.

Li Huan looked at his current teammates and ex-teammates with envious eyes mixed with envy and jealousy, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He has made a major contribution, and the fans stand up and pay tribute to him, and he deserves it, but now it can be said that he has received nothing for nothing.

Fabregas then said softly behind Li Huan: "The fans are putting pressure on you, so don't show mercy." "

Li Huanguang was flattered just now, and forgot about this, suddenly laughed dumbly, and said: "How can I be merciful, no matter how difficult Hoffenheim's situation is, I am now an Arsenal player, and I can only consider Arsenal Interests."

"I heard that you Chinese like to talk about favors and face." Van Persie said. He has recently scored consecutive goals and has become the team's second scorer. He also received the most assists from Li Huan. Thinking about the previous rounds, In the situation where he has no results, Van Persie's attitude towards Li Huan is becoming more and more respectful every day. If Li Huan cuts off the ammunition support for him, it is very likely that there will be no goals in the future. The Chinese's footwork is very good, definitely Where to hit where.

Li Huan chuckled, and said, "You can't generalize, and there are some people who don't pay attention to it. Besides, we Chinese have another characteristic, that is, do as the Romans do."

Cesc Fabregas smiled and said, "Okay, now that we've come to our territory today, we have to give them a little bit of color and vent the anger they received in Germany."

After the lineups of the two sides were established, the two head coaches of Arsenal and Hoffenheim frowned, because they found that their opponents had played cards that were beyond their expectations.

This is already the fourth time that Hoffenheim and Arsenal have played against each other. The two sides know each other well. Afterwards, they realized that the opponent's success was not accidental, and that they had certain methods in terms of coaching and tactical arrangements.

Arsenal formed a 433 formation in this game, with all the main players. The most important change is that Li Huan appeared in the position of left back. This is the first time Li Huan has played left back since he came to Arsenal. It is also his first time. Changing position, in the previous games, Li Huan has been playing right back, this change is considered by the commentator Wenger intends to tap Li Huan's potential.

Li Huan went to play left back, and the right back started naturally became Sarnia. He was suppressed by Li Huan and couldn't hold his head up. He was very excited. He thought that maybe this was a positive signal. If he could play well at the right back position, maybe Wenger would let Li Huan play left back. Sarnia knew that Li Huan was a pervert. Almighty, playing left back must be as good as right back, there is no suspense, maybe Hoffenheim's right back Bell should pray for God's blessing.

Hoffenheim's starting formation for this game is not the newly promoted 433, nor the traditional 442, but a Christmas tree formation similar to AC Milan's 4321.The single arrow Ibisevic is in the front, Arshavin and Eduardo are behind, and the three midfielders are also very uncommon for Hoffenheim. Gustavo, Tymoshchuk, and Simunić Standing side by side in front of the four defenders, Simunic has always played as a central defender, but he was born as a defensive midfielder. It is obviously the result of Rangnick's deliberate deliberation to play as a defensive midfielder today. The four defenders have not changed too much, the right back Bell, the left back Ibetzberg, and the two center backs are Compaq and Yaisler.

Seeing this formation, Paul said to Wenger: "This may be the result of their closed training, specially against us." "

"Wait and see." Wenger smiled slightly. The 60-year-old coach has never experienced any kind of formation. Although Rangnick's formation was beyond his expectations, Wenger was not worried. The tactical arrangement, no matter how good the formation is, doesn't it require players to implement it?With Li Huan, the character in the football game, and Cesc Fabregas as the prime minister, Wenger believes that they will adapt and adjust their style of play in time, and get the points they want. Manchester United and Chelsea have both landed. It cannot be delayed until the next round, otherwise it will be at a disadvantage in the long-term championship competition.

Rangnick's tactical arrangement in this game is ingenious, but it is very effective. Before this season, many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League defeated Arsenal by relying on intensive defense, midfield pressing, high balls from both wings, and headers. Beat Arsenal, but after Li Huan and Vermaelen came, it was very difficult to get through the two wings. This season, no team has been able to beat and draw Arsenal, so there is no ready-made experience to learn from and imitate. Every team can only ponder and experiment. Lannick knows how good Li Huan is, so he doesn't plan to start from the middle. What he wants is to sacrifice the ball possession rate, use scrambling to destroy the opponent's offense, and remain invincible Seek further opportunities to defeat the enemy.

Rangnick has a deep understanding of Arsenal, and the German has strong tactical talent. His tactical arrangement is still very targeted. Alexander Song is not strong enough, Diaby is not reliable, Nasri and Fabregas It is too delicate, which prevents the Gunners from gaining an advantage in the midfield confrontation.Losing the midfield position, the gunner's short pass penetration cannot penetrate Hoffenheim's three-layer defense. The middle road was at a loss.

Fortunately, Arsenal's offense is now not only relying on the center, but the attack on the side has been on par with the penetration of the center. When the center cannot open the situation, the two sides have begun to play a role.Sarnia is like a little tiger out of the cage. After the opening, he actively inserted assists and kept asking his teammates for the ball. His eagerness to perform was undoubtedly revealed.In contrast, Li Huan was much more low-key.

Wenger spoke highly of Sagna, saying that he is a strong defensive expert, with stable performance, excellent defense, strong body, good explosive power, and capable of attacking and defending the entire wing.But in fact, Sagna's offensive efficiency is low. When he is used for assists, most of them are used as the receiving point of the winger. .This is why Wenger let Li Huan play right back instead of left back, at least Clichy's cross is more reliable than him.

This game is not a battle of life and death for Arsenal, and the attitude is naturally not as desperate as that of Hoffenheim, and Li Huan's side encountered a strong block, so when Sagna asked for the ball, the midfielder The player also took care of this old teammate. After all, I don't know how long it takes to start, and Arsenal's central attack can't start the situation, so after the opening, Sagna still received a few passes.

It may be that he is eager to play and has a heavy psychological burden. It may also be that he is afraid of losing the ball and returning to the defense. Sagna's crosses are not even as good as last season. A cross is almost a waste of an attacking opportunity. Fabre The center led by Gass gave him the ball a few times before giving up and still passing the ball to Li Huan's side.

Although both Li Huan and Beck participated in the last game at the Rhein-Neckar Arena, because Li Huan and Beck played right backs, they had not actually played against each other. Although the football match lasted 10 minutes, but The chances of meeting as defenders is very small. This time, the two really met each other.

Now Li Huan has realized that Rangnick brought in Baker to take over his own position. This is why Baker can feel at ease as a substitute in Hoffenheim. Guy's assists, crosses and inside cuts all have his own style, and it is said that he has also been selected for the German national team.

But Baker didn't like Li Huan any more. Firstly, he joined Hoffenheim for the purpose of being in the top position. It was impossible not to be jealous of his competitors. Fans and the media often compare his performance with Li Huan, making Baker feel that Li Huan's shadow is everywhere, almost making it difficult for him to breathe. Under such circumstances, how could he have a good impression of Li Huan? He wanted to drag Li Huan off the altar.

However, Baker is very scheming, knowing that Li Huan is very strong, and he is in good form now, so after the opening, he did not rush forward to provoke like Sania's idiot. When the best opportunity came, Bell studied Li Huan's style and style of play in detail when he was a substitute in Hoffenheim. In addition to learning, he also imagined how to deal with Li Huan when he met him in the future. Now, the opportunity to fight against him It's finally here.
