knife guard

Chapter 790
Although there are not many opportunities for the defenders of the opposing sides to meet, after entering the new century, the assists of the full-backs have become the tactical consensus of all teams, so the chances of crossed full-backs meeting have greatly increased.

In this game, Arsenal's penetration in the middle encountered huge resistance. They only opened the gap from the two sides. After Sagna passed the ball twice, the fans and teammates dare not count on him anymore. The Frenchman's head is beaded curtain The colorful braids look like handsome Gullit from a distance, but they become airplanes when they are passed.The heavy responsibility of breaking the opponent's defense still falls on Li Huan's shoulders.

After Li Huan became another core, Fabregas returned to the position in front of the midfielder. He changed from the prime minister to the chief dispatcher of the arsenal. It turned out that Fabregas was in such a predicament. He personally stepped forward to charge forward, and now, after Fabregas got the pass from the backcourt, he almost didn't think about passing it to Li Huan, and then moved closer to the side to meet Li Huan's assist.

Fabregas was very satisfied to return to his old line, and his style of play became more and more elegant. He even had the opportunity to tease Li Huan, who was running like lightning on the wing, "Li! Don't run too fast, the striker is still waiting for you to pass. Where's the ball! Don't you want to play skewers again!"

Van Persie saw that Li Huan took the ball and ran towards Hoffenheim's penalty area, and shouted to the side: "I'll wait first."

The relaxed and confident attitude of the Arsenal people angered the Hoffenheim players. Li Huan's right flank was flooded with several players to defend. Eduardo, Gustavo, and even central defender Yaisle began to move to the wing , plus right back Baker, more than a third of Hoffenheim's players came to intercept Li Huan.

Li Huan is not a single-minded person. Seeing the opponent's heavy defense on the side, how could he go hard again, and immediately handed the ball to Cesc Fabregas, but he himself did not stop moving forward. Still sharing the pressure on Fabregas on the wing.

Fabregas' ability to read the game, the overall situation in Arsenal does not want to be the second person, even Li Huan is not as good as Fabregas, the successor of the 4th position from La Masia, Fabregas Knowing well about the transfer of Hoffenheim's personnel, after receiving the ball from Li Huan, he immediately dribbled the ball forward and killed the middle circle, and went straight to Hoffenheim's penalty area.

Hoffenheim is no stranger to Arsenal's style of play. They have experienced it when they lost to Arsenal at home. Against Arsenal's combination of play, Hoffenheim's players have long been prepared. Although the 4321 Christmas tree formation is a little weaker in attack power, it can effectively break Arsenal's attempt to mobilize their defense.

Fabregas dribbled in, and Hoffenheim still had two defensive midfielders Timoschuk and Simunić in the middle. The overall defense line was not damaged. Fabregas and Walcott thought It is not easy to break through the defense of two experienced midfielders and two central defenders. It is already good to be able to control the ball without losing it.

At this time, Hoffenheim's defense was more empty on the left, and Sania also rushed to the frontcourt excitedly. He also knew that the few passes in front of him were really sorry for the fans and teammates, but he didn't lose. The courage to try, still shaking the fancy pigtails to Fabregas for the ball.

Cesc Fabregas naturally understood that Hoffenheim's left side was empty because he didn't think much of Sagna and didn't want to pass to the French little braid, but the right and center were crowded with opponents' players. It is definitely not a wise move to break through, and there is a possibility that the opponent steals the ball and counterattacks. The Champions League championship is not bought with money, so Fabregas had to pass the ball to Sagna.

Sania was trembling with excitement after receiving the ball. There was only one opponent's full-back on the opposite side, and Nasri came to meet him in the middle. With a two-and-one cooperation, he was able to get rid of the opponent's defender's defense.

Sagna calculated well, and Nasri did get sidetracked earlier than the defenders. After the two played a two-for-one, Sagna easily broke through Ibetzberg's bottom pass.But the more Sania wanted to pass the ball well, the more unreliable he was when he passed it. It was a great offensive opportunity, and his teammates outflanked him at the far and near midpoints. When he passed the ball, the ball went out first. The bottom line turned back again.

"It's a fucking defender, look at the clearance."

"Silly x 1 looks a lot like an undercover agent."

"Why did Cesc pass the ball to him, he might as well break through by himself."

"God, forgive him, Sania finally prevented a counterattack in advance."

. . . .

The Arsenal fans in the stands finally couldn't take it anymore. Many people began to ridicule Sarnia, and some fans who came from China angrily scolded silly ×.

Sagna's cross finally made Fabregas discouraged and even gave up, because Sagna was an unforced error at all, even if Hoffenheim had no players on the left, Fabregas It is also not sure whether the French pigtail can pass a good ball.

Sagna on the left was almost idle, and the focus of the struggle on the field returned to the center and right. Although Hoffenheim had only one striker in this game, the tactical arrangement of attacking from the center was effective.The triangular combination of Arshavin, Ibisevic and Eduardo has been working together for a long time, and the tacit understanding between them is no worse than that of Arsenal. Ibisevic has strength and technique, and his shooting skills are very superb. Arshavin and Eduardo Arsenal's breakthrough ability is very strong, and Arsenal don't feel too difficult when defending. They have two midfielders and two central defenders. Once Hoffenheim counterattacks, the pressure on the defense becomes unprecedentedly strong.Even in a three-on-three defense, the triangular combination of Arshavin, Eduardo and Ibisevic can complete the attack and shoot. As a result, Arsenal's central team is a little worried about gain and loss, and dare not let go of their hands and feet to attack.

The pressure of the game returned to the right. Arsenal players and fans pinned their hope of breaking the deadlock on Li Huan. After almost everyone got the ball, they passed it to Li Huan's feet. Even Sania got the ball. The ball wanted to pass to Li Huan long.

However, today Hoffenheim's formation posed a great obstacle to Arsenal's attack. They couldn't penetrate through the center and attacked from the side. It's too late, and it's hard for anyone to break the stalemate of the game for a while.Even Li Huan can hardly break through the layers of defense that Lannick has tailored for him. After all, he is not a superman, nor an alien, nor a god.

Seeing this scene, the on-site commentator couldn't help sighing: "Li Huan restrained nearly a third of the opponent's troops on the left, and Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas in the center were also heavily guarded by Hoffenheim. The weak one is Hoffenheim's left side, but Sania's offensive power is too poor. Even if he has half of Li Huan's skill, this deadlock has been broken long ago. In fact, Eboue is stronger than Sania when he plays, but now It's still early.

Although the Gunners spent a lot of money to buy Li Huan this year, it is only equivalent to changing an engine. The other configurations have not kept up with it. There are too few people who can play the main force, so they have to rely on Li Huan every time, not Cesc Fabregas. , In the end, people were used to dehydrate for the sake of performance, and then injuries continued, and then substitutes with insufficient strength were used to block the eye-catching, which eventually led to a decline in performance. If some capable players are not added during the winter break, Arsenal may return to the original state on the old road. "

Wenger, who was sitting on the coach's bench, was also discussing the situation on the field with his two assistant coaches. After more than ten minutes of the game, he also figured out Rangnick's tactical intentions. It was a life-and-death battle, but Rangnick did not lose his head. He still planned his goals calmly. He was very traditional in German coaches. With these players on the field alone, it would be difficult to break the deadlock without any changes.

"How about going to Eboue?" assistant coach Rice put down his water bottle and suggested.

Another assistant coach, Paul, said: "Eboue's offense is worse than Sarnia's, and his speed is also faster, but his defense is not as good as Sarnia's."

"Wait for now. We still have the upper hand in the current situation. As long as one of Lee, Cesc, and Robin has a flash of inspiration, the deadlock will be broken." Wenger shook his head and said, Sania is his Fellow countryman, after Li Huan came, he was willing to serve as a substitute for such a long time without causing any trouble to the locker room. This time, Clichy was injured, so he couldn't take care of Sagna's emotions at all. He is rational, but he can't ignore the feelings of the players.

However, the discussion among the Arsenal coaches was not over yet. In the 18th minute of the game, Vermaelen received a corner kick from Li Huan and hit the Hoffenheim player's arm. The referee ignored it, Hoffenheim took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, Hildebrand threw the ball 30 meters to Eduardo, Eduardo passed the alley-oop to Ibisevic, Diaby and Ibisevic Vic fell in the confrontation, and Ibisevic took the opportunity to pass the ball to Arshavin. Hoffenheim formed a two-on-two situation in the frontcourt, although Arsenal's defenders and Hoffenheim's offensive staff were half A lot, but because Arsenal have a lot of space in the backcourt, it is very beneficial to the offensive personnel.

Arshavin swayed Alexander with fake moves.Song staggered, and then suddenly dribbled the ball to the side.

Sagna was almost back in place, but Arshavin's speed and explosive power were much stronger than Sania's. With the ball down to the bottom, Ibisevic squeezed away Gallas and pushed to the front of the penalty area to break the net.

1: 0!

Hoffenheim lead away.

The Emirates Stadium was dead silent, only more than 3000 blue Hoffenheim fans were desperately celebrating.
