I'm a striker

Chapter 381 Guess, Can't Guess

Sometimes, people can often guess the beginning, but they can never guess the end.

Arsenal's home game against Greek powerhouse Olympiakos was a good example.

When Wenger confirmed his starting lineup before the game, the whole of England thought that the professor was too big.

Yes, it is true that Arsenal is two grades better than Olympiacos, but if it is Arsenal's second team, it is hard to say.

The plot of the story is also as most people imagined. Although they are fighting at their own home court, Arsenal, led by Song Rentou and leading a large number of rotation players, played in a mess at their home court.

It has always been the Greeks who have taken the initiative in the game.

Throughout the first half, Arsenal has been holding the ball, defending, holding the ball, and defending, so that those fans who have just turned on the TV are wondering, is Arsenal really the top of the Premier League?
"I think Wenger has to make adjustments in the second half. Several of his generals are on the bench. After all, this is a Champions League game. Arsenal can't be too big." Sky TV, even the famous head coach Migari Lineker made such a warning.

Arsenal fans are definitely the most anxious party.

Laudel and the die-hard Arsenal fans around her did not stop their applause and singing throughout the first half, and Laudel felt that her voice was a little hoarse.

The reason why the Arsenal fans refused to stop singing and applauding was because they were afraid that if they stopped cheering, this Greek powerhouse would become more and more courageous.

As if seeing the possibility of qualifying from this group, the Greek giants Olympiacos' offensive has been swift and fierce.

Although this team competes in the Champions League all year round, the seasons in which they can qualify from the group are definitely one of the few.

Arsenal's new gun king, Song Rentou, had already run 8000 meters in the first half, but he didn't have a single shot, not even a decent dribble.

In the words of Gary Lineker and Martinshall, Arsenal's lineup is completely dead.

But after all, when they saw Wenger's starting lineup before the game, most people had already prepared the appearance that Arsenal would be in a mess at the beginning.

What they didn't expect was that in the second half of the game, Wenger did adjust.

Gnabry replaced Cazorla and Chamberlain replaced Ramsey.

Two young players born in the [-]s made their debut, and what they replaced was the absolute main force of the previous team.

On the court, apart from Song Rentou, Koscielny, and Szczesny, the other eight players are usually Arsenal's substitutes, and like Gnabry and Chamberlain, they don't even have the chance to play in normal times. No, you can only rely on the League Cup to train your young players.

"Coach Wenger is..." Gary Lineker and Martinshall also couldn't understand Wenger's cards.

However, Wenger, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked calm and composed, and no one could find any flaws, as if he had absolute confidence in the game.

Seeing that Arsenal despised him so much, the head coach of Olympiacos also waved his hand and ordered the team to launch a fierce attack.

If they can win this game, they will have six points, and qualifying will no longer be impossible.

The instant score of another UEFA Champions League game has also come, and Deportivo has already led [-]-[-] in the away game.

If Olympiacos can win this game, they have every hope of qualifying from this group.

"As long as we can return to the home court to draw with Deportivo, even if we lose away, if we beat Montpellier, even if we lose to Arsenal, we will all have a chance to qualify!"

Ten, this is a basic qualifying score in the Champions League group stage.

It's clear that the Olympiacos head coach sees a bright future in the Champions League for the team.

Being able to qualify from the group means that Olympiacos will be able to get more dividends from the Champions League. In this way, the team can sell a few main players and buy a few potential stars in the coming year to ensure the good operation of the team.

Most of the giants in the second- and third-tier leagues in Europe rely on this to make profits.

And for some Olympiacos players, this is the best opportunity to show their abilities on the world stage.

Think about it, if they can beat Arsenal, then those players who perform well will undoubtedly be discovered by scouts, and it is very likely that they will jump into the dragon's door.

However, something surprising happened.

Wenger made the last substitution adjustment in the No.70 minute of the game.

Diaby, who has been absent for an unknown number of years, replaced Koscielny...

Is Wenger going to kill him to the end?
of course not……

Because after 5 minutes, Olympiacos, who had been playing against Arsenal throughout the game, quickly felt the pressure brought to them by the top of the Premier League.

"Even if they don't have the ability to start at Arsenal... But Podolski is a German international, the efficiency king of the German national team, Gnabry is the absolute main force of the German U19 youth team, and Chamberlain will definitely be in the future. England's international players, Rosicky and Arteta are well-known players who have been on the field for a long time...The most important thing is that although they are substitutes, their usual training volume is the same as that of the main players." On the sidelines of the court, Wenger waved again Picking up his feather fan towel, he said calmly.

Arsenal is definitely not trying to die.

The reason why Wenger is confident is that after watching the first half of the game, he confirmed that Olympiacos will collapse in the second half.

As for the reason?

Very simple, that is physical fitness.

Even if Arsenal are kicked under pressure, their skills are superior. They can complete technical moves with three-point force, and the Olympiacos players may have to spend a lot of effort.

A strong team beats a weak team, not necessarily relying on the suppression of the mercury.

Sometimes, deliberately showing weakness is also a good way.

Wenger is very clear that it is unrealistic for this second team to use the winning method of the first team, and it will take a lot of risk.

In this case, it is better to wait until Olympiacos' physical energy is exhausted before launching a fierce attack and winning the game in one fell swoop.

Song Rentou ran 10 meters in 2000 minutes of this game. Similarly, the running distance of the four Olympiacos defenders was also close to [-] meters.

A one-for-four deal is definitely not a loss.

In order to win this game, Olympiacos exhausted their physical energy at an accelerated rate when their physical energy should not be consumed so quickly. They are indeed very strong.If they play with less energy from the beginning and play steadily, Arsenal will be in trouble.

But Wenger's deliberate weakness and deliberate underestimation of the enemy confused the coaches and players of Olympiacos.

Don't forget, even if there is no championship for seven years, Wenger is still Wenger, and the title of world-class coach will never be changed.

Olympiacos has tasted the bitter fruit.

In the 705th minute of the game, Arsenal suddenly accelerated the pace of the game. Chamberlain dribbled the ball forward from the backcourt and scored Song Rentou.

Song Rentou assisted Podolski to score Arsenal's first goal of the game!
After the goal, Prince Polti was very happy. He hugged Song Rentou and ran to the sidelines to give high-fives to every Arsenal coach and player.

When Pandora's box was opened, Arsenal could no longer hold back their pace.

Although there has been no championship for seven years, the reason why Arsenal can guarantee to reach the top four every season is not only due to Wenger's formation, but more importantly, the team's training is absolutely in accordance with the championship. at the level of the team.

In many cases, physical fitness can determine everything.

Of course, Arsenal's physical fitness is at the championship level, but the player's ability and skills are not at the championship level. Therefore, when they play against such giants as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City, they are like Olympiacos. They need to use a lot of strength to complete the three-pointer Technical movements that can be completed with strength, so that the physical energy consumption is much faster than the opponent, and it is easier to cause a collapse.

Olympiacos can't hold back the pressure from the top of the Premier League.

Podolski's goal has completely collapsed their tense nerves, and the physical limit cannot be changed by the head coach of Olympiakos with just three substitutions.

When you keep pressing the opponent to play, but the opponent scores first in the end, this kind of morale-destroying game can easily lead to a collapse.

In the No.708 minute of the second half, Song Rentou went through the needle again. After Podolski broke into the penalty area, his shot was blocked. Rosicky who followed him also scored his first goal of the season!

The veteran Rosicky, one of the Czech double walls, raised his hands high, and then kissed the Arsenal team emblem affectionately.

Every player who is still on the field at this time is grateful to Wenger for his trust in them, because no matter what the game is, Wenger did not replace the so-called main players and remove them.

From the very beginning, Wenger believed that they would be able to win this game.

Actually, Wenger didn't know that he could win without the main force after watching the first half of the game. If Olympiacos is too strong, Wenger will not push him too hard. After all, Walcott, Giroud, Wilshere and others But always on call.

It's good now, but the substitute players are extremely grateful for Wenger's trust. Wenger didn't expect such an effect.

Conceding two goals in a row has made Olympiacos desperate for the game, [-] to [-], they would think they can still equalize, but [-] to [-], and the opponent obviously still has more energy at this time, they have no strength to fight back, they have no more The determination to counterattack.

This is Wenger's confidence that Arsenal's bench lineup can win this game. The giants in the second and third leagues, even the top teams in the country, do not have the real giants in the five major leagues. background.

The real giants, such as Liverpool, no matter how poor they are, you will never dare to be careless when they are leading, because they will never give up the game.

Even for a minute and a second.

The abandonment of Olympiacos did not make Arsenal's players happy.

Once the substitute lineup is opened, it is also very scary, because they have little playing time, so they will cherish every minute and every second of the game.

Chamberlain completed his first assist of the season, and of course the goal is what Arsenal fans most want to see-Song Rentou, the king of gunners!
The cheers of the entire Emirates Stadium could not be stopped. Lauder and the surrounding fans cheered unrestrainedly. At this time, how could the Arsenal fans remember that they were all the targets of the beating before the 75 minutes of the game?
Three to zero, two games and four goals, it is obvious that Song Rentou is heading towards the Champions League single-season scoring record, and he has killed it again!
"I can't believe it...Arsenal not only reversed the situation, but also led [-]-[-]. Oh my God, Wenger is so courageous. Even though he was very passive, he didn't replace any of the main players. Player!" Both Gary Lineker and Martinshall couldn't believe the result of the game.

Three to zero, Arsenal educated the Greek giants Olympiacos with a substitute lineup at home: the second- and third-tier league teams must have the self-knowledge of the second- and third-tier league teams to play against top giants?You are really not qualified.

This big victory is of great significance to Arsenal, because they not only successfully preserved their own strength, so as to continue to maintain their strength in the weekend league.

At the same time, this big victory also gave Arsenal's substitute players a lot of confidence.

Of course, when the main players see that the substitutes are playing so well, the pressure will only increase.

Wenger definitely killed three birds with one stone in this game. Seeing the unconvinced expression of the Olympiacos coach after the game, Wenger just smiled lightly.

He didn't care what his opponent thought. After the game, the media said that whether Arsenal underestimated the enemy or Wenger was big, as long as the game was won, even the British reporters would never find a black spot to attack Wenger.

This is football, winners and losers, everything is easy to talk about if you can win, but it's not the same thing if you can't win.

"Oh my God, I was so scared to death. I almost thought we would lose." Wilshere also handed a towel to the somewhat tired Song Rentu.

"How is it possible, Will, you have to learn to trust your teammates, we are all wearing Arsenal jerseys." Song Ren smiled and said to Wilshere.In fact, at the end of the first half, looking at the Olympiacos defenders who were exhausted defending themselves, Song Rentou already knew very clearly that Olympiacos could not beat this Arsenal.

The gap in ability is irreparable.

What's more, the opponent's fighting spirit is not very good. As long as Arsenal can score first, Olympiacos will inevitably collapse.

However, Song Rentou also has to admit that the Arsenal fans played a great role in this game.Without their non-stop cheering and singing, Arsenal really might not be able to withstand the most dangerous first half.

"Great job. That guy Polti said he would treat us to dinner. He is very happy to score goals in the Champions League." Ramsey also walked towards Song Rentou.

Song Rentou smiled and nodded.

Podolski's English is not bad, and he is very happy to get along with his teammates. In this Arsenal team, almost every player can speak two or three foreign languages. Of course, Song Rentou can speak French, German, With the absolute exception of Spanish, Italian, Portuguese language geniuses...

"Hey, I said captain, you are too eccentric! How can you feed that guy Porty so comfortably!" Giroud also felt the pressure. After completing a hat-trick in the game against Chelsea, Giroud has already I believe that the only striker in the Arsenal team can be partnered with Song Rentou, or Song Rentou's rotation is the absolute main force.

But Podolski's excellent performance today has reminded him well: the strongest man is already in the Arsenal formation!

For Giroud's jealousy, other Arsenal players also ridiculed.

Looking at the team with an excellent atmosphere, Wenger couldn't help sighing, "Ferguson once said that as long as a team can keep winning, every player in the team They will all be world-class. I didn’t understand it before, but now I really understand that the strongest person is already in the formation.”

Of course, Wenger once again lamented the changes in the Arsenal team after Song Rentou's arrival.

The most important thing is self-confidence.

When self-confidence is improved, the performance of the players will be completely different. When the players trust each other and compete with each other, then the team can always maintain an upward momentum.

The reason why Arsenal was able to beat Olympiacos at their home court was because the atmosphere in this team was too good.Last season, Van Persie was the captain, and his teammates regarded him as relying on and relying on him.

Fabregas era, he is the core of the team.

But these are not what Wenger wants most.

Song Rentou is not only the reliance and dependence of everyone in this team, but also the core of this team, and he also promotes continuous progress and mutual trust between everyone.

This allows every Arsenal player's weaknesses to be narrowed, while the strengths are infinitely magnified.

At the press conference after the game, Wenger also praised the perfect performance of the team's second team. At the same time, he also said that even Song Rentou in the Arsenal team is not the absolute main force. Competitive.

Wenger's words were obviously intended for the substitute players, but what Wenger said is also true, because this season, Arsenal has tried many lineups, and basically all first-team players have played records .

What makes Wenger even happier is that he finally found a home for Arshavin, who has fallen out of form. In the winter, he will return to Zenit St. Petersburg for free. Reduced a lot of salary pressure.

In the winter, Wenger will also introduce another real midfielder.

After all, if you want to fight a real tough battle, you can’t rely entirely on offense. Arsenal’s offensive style will be familiarized by the opponent sooner or later. Arsenal desperately need a player who can really carry the team’s midfielder to carry out hand-to-hand combat in key battles !
