There is a dream called football

Chapter 353
It's okay for Chrissy to stare at Giuly alone, but it's a disadvantage for Barcelona to rush all the way from the right.

So Barcelona made a lot of crosses on the right. Even if Diaby came here to defend, it would be difficult to stop Barcelona's crosses. Fortunately, Arsenal's two central defenders are strong enough, one is Toure and the other is Campbell. It is impossible for Eto'o and Ronaldinho to compete with them for headers.

Rijkaard waved Larson up to warm up. With such a big advantage, adding another striker might have a better effect.

So Rijkaard used up the third substitution quota early, which is logically a taboo for military strategists, because in the final match, at least one card must be kept in hand, but Rijkaard may be too confident, he used up the last substitution quota in 70 minutes.

Larson replaced Deco, the formation became 4231, and Ronaldinho retreated to the position of the midfielder.

At the same time, when Barcelona changed players, Li Qiao ran back and suggested to Wenger, "Head, let's replace Robin, we don't need three midfielders, because we can't defend, we need a fulcrum, Robin is suitable."

Wenger turned his head to look at Van Persie. Although Van Persie played as a winger, his height of 183 could be used as a fulcrum in the forward line. After all, the opponent was Barcelona, ​​a team with the least advantage in the average height of European giants.

Wenger was very hesitant, the three of them couldn't defend, so can we remove one midfielder?
Li Qiao knew where the loopholes in passing and controlling football were. He raised his voice, even roaring a little.

"Head, don't hesitate."

"Offense is the best defense."

In the end Wenger nodded, he waved his hand, let Van Persie get up, and briefly explained the tactics to him.

"But I can't play center forward."

"It's very simple, just go for the header and give the ball to Henry and Li Qiao."

……

……

Van Persie Khan, this is of course easy to say, but the reality is not that simple.

Wenger tore off a small page of paper in his notebook, drew some lines on it, and then wrote some words, but Arsenal players could understand, "Go up and hand it to your teammates, this is the new tactic."

The teammates took a look, "Long pass to Van Persie."

It's such a simple tactic.

As for the effect of this tactic, in fact, Wenger himself is also beating drums in his heart, so it is hard to say.

*****
The ball flew high and then fell. On the landing point, Van Persie and Puyol were fighting for the top, and the two refused to give in to each other.

But it was Van Persie who hit the ball in the end. He didn't know Li Qiao's position, so he pushed to the right, and Li Qiao happened to be in the position.

This set is very clear, Li Qiao takes the ball from the wing, Henry and Van Persie form a cross in the penalty area.

The opportunity totally presented itself.

It's a pity that Van Persie's header was too high.

But Rijkaard saw it, Arsenal's tactics changed, and the effect seemed to be pretty good.

Rijkaard was thinking, this kind of long pass does not need to go through the midfield, so the team's advantage in the midfield is gone. This style of play is simple and straightforward, but it can control the ball.

"Arthur is really amazing, he thought of a good solution so quickly, not bad."

But Rijkaard is not too worried. Although the long pass is simple, it also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the success rate is too low, and it may only be hit once after several times.

Yes, that's right, the success rate is a problem, but this is also Arsenal's best choice, try a few more times and try to score.

Just when the two sides were coming and going, and attacking and defending each other, a tragedy happened. Suddenly the camera swept away and everyone saw Jiuli sitting on the ground.

In the UEFA Champions League final two years ago, Giuly hadn't finished playing. This time he sat on the ground again, and Rijkaard felt a little bit in his heart, because he had no substitutions in his hand. If Jiuli had it, it would be troublesome.

The Arsenal players stopped attacking and took the initiative to kick the ball out of the sideline, and the team doctor entered the field immediately.

Of course Wenger hoped that Giuly would not be able to persist, so Barcelona would have one less person. During the game, it would be nice to have a little less gentlemanly demeanor.

The treatment lasted for a long time, and Barcelona's team doctors knew very well that they had no substitutions, so they didn't want to draw conclusions lightly unless it was a last resort, and they also hoped that Giuly could persist.

Julie stood up.

"Let's run again. If you can still exert strength, it proves that you can still persist. If you can't exert strength, then you can only end."

When the team doctor came back, Rijkaard immediately asked about the situation.

"The calf muscle is strained, it's hard to say whether I can persist."

Rijkaard nodded.

Professional players are very sensitive to their bodies, and it is not difficult to determine whether they can continue to play football.

After running for 2 minutes, Jiuli covered his face and left the field directly. Accompanied by the team doctor, the audience applauded and encouraged Jiuli. For players, injuries are the biggest taboo and the biggest enemy of players.

"Barcelona has no substitutions left and Rijkaard paid for his risk."

Rijkaard is also willing to gamble and admit defeat. Not every gamble can have a good result. For example, this time, he did not get the result he wanted.

"Now it's 10 against 10. Both the score and the personnel are on the same starting line."

Of course, Barcelona fans are particularly upset about this, but they can't blame anyone.

When the ball hits the wing, Ronaldinho is now using one person as two, and he will also run to the right.

Ronaldinho glanced at the penalty area. Larson was in the front and Eto'o in the back, forming a good outflanking situation. In this case, a low kick into the penalty area is the most wonderful. If Larsson misses, maybe the Arsenal players behind will score an own goal.

Good idea, but...

When Ronaldinho lifted his foot, the ball was broken by Clichy.

Ronaldinho didn't expect that either, he was also taken aback, he wanted to fight back, but Clichy's execution of Wenger's tactics was very good, and suddenly he immediately threw a long pass to find Van Persie in front of him.

"Again!!!" Rijkaard's heart skipped a beat.

Van Persie is becoming more and more proficient in his center forward position, leaning on people, and then jumping up to head the ball to Henry.

When the Frenchman took the ball, he saw Li Qiao on the other side out of the corner of his eye. It was another experienced pass. Henry made a small arc with his left foot and passed it to the back point.

Van Bronthorst is chasing back, and Li Qiao is grabbing the spot. The situation is very clear, it just depends on who hits the ball first.

The hearts of Rijkaard and Wenger twitched at the same time.
