Chapter 283 Revealed

The mysterious person in the stands is Wenger's tactical advisor, Dong. He was discovered by Wenger only recently, and the time goes back to a year ago.
In the cafeteria of the Kearney youth academy, an Inter Milan youth coach slaps away the newspaper in his hand.

"Isn't it just a few draws? Is it necessary to make it look like the end of the world? Doesn't every team have troughs?"

There were other people sitting in the dining room eating together. They were all Kearney youth training coaches, and many of them came for Wenger. Many of them learned from Wenger and benefited a lot.

Therefore, after reading some of the comments in the newspaper, everyone was furious.

"Reporters are like this. Otherwise, why would Li have such a big fight with this group of guys two years ago?"

! ”

Everyone, you are talking with me.

"Hey, Dong!" One of the youth training coaches saw a cool guy eating sullenly in the corner. He was a little cold and kept silent. "What do you think is our problem now?"

The guy named Dong raised his head, his mouth was full of rice, even his cheeks were full of rice grains, he looked like a reincarnated starving ghost, seeing his colleagues all around him looking at him, he shook his head, and bent down to eat again.

"Haven't you been going to the first team base to watch the training recently? Didn't you find anything?" The colleague who asked the question came over.

After finally chewing the stuff into his stomach, the guy named Dong nodded, speaking pure English, "Well, I found it!"

"What?" Everyone came together curiously.

For this group of coaches who are coaching in the youth squad, the first team is a very mysterious place, especially the Arsenal under Wenger, which is full of mysterious magic.

"Everything is normal!" Dong replied seriously.

"Go!" Everyone hissed in unison.

But La gave a serious explanation, "Everything is normal, which means that the team's situation is expected!"

When everyone heard it, they all nodded immediately.

"You mean the professor expected us to have a streak?"

Do not,
After a pause, he continued to explain: "But every team has its regularity, such as the ups and downs of the state, such as the impact of player injuries on skills and tactics, etc. I looked at the latest statistics. Our injuries this season are twice as many as last season. Now Gilberto Silva is getting old and leaving!"

Everyone seemed to be convinced of Dong. After hearing his words, they immediately listened intently.
"Gilberto Silva is not a player that impresses people deeply. Even in the star-studded first team, his role is not obvious. Many people regard him as unimportant, which gives Arsenal's offense breadth!"

They are all youth training coaches. Although they are all low-level, everyone present knows the importance of a team's offensive width. Attacks without width are often blocked at once.

"I have studied the data. In the absence of Gilberto Silva this season, the professor used a total of four players, Diaby, Flamini, Fabregas and Las Diarra, to replace Gilberto Silva. However, except for Diaby who won his trust, no one else can do it. However, Diaby has many injuries and has no continuity."

"Does it have to be Gilberto Silva?" A coach asked incomprehensibly.
Dong held the eye button on Tuo Li's nose, smiled inscrutablely and profoundly, nodded and said: "Yes, Gilberto Silva must be included in the tactics formulated by the professor!"

"I have studied some data of the first team, and I found a very interesting data, our Arsenal claims to have the strongest defense in Europe, but our average steals per game, ranking among all European clubs, I am afraid that we can't even enter the top 30!"

"This is impossible!" Someone immediately shook his head in denial

"Yes, how is this possible?"

"Without steals, our conceded goals will definitely increase!"

Dong was questioned, but he didn't get angry, and smiled gently, "This is precisely the secret of Arsenal's defense, that is interception!"

Everyone was stunned
"From France to Arsenal, the professor never believed in savage tackles and steals. He believes in this place even more!" Dong pointed to his brain, indicating that it was IQ

"Just think about it. When he came to Kearney, what was his definition of the so-called unified technical and tactical style? People move, the ball moves, and they are coordinated!"

"The people must move first, and the ball should move. That is to say, the initiative of the game lies with the people. This requires the kicker to actively create and develop. This is not only applicable to offense, but also to defense. A very important part of why Arsenal can play hearty football is that their defense does not rely on tackles and steals, but on collective running, enveloping and positional sense. These two elements finally converge on one piece of data, that is interception!"

"We have the most interceptions per game of any team in the Premier League!"

Everyone couldn't help but realized with worry, "It turns out that Arsenal's defense came about like this.
"But what does that have to do with Gilberto Silva?"

Dong smiled slightly, "I always think, "When attacking, Gilberto Silva's role is to give full play to the role of the midfield slipper, supporting Fabregas and Las Diarra in front. After getting the return pass from the midfielder, he digested it himself, sent the ball to the two sides respectively, and then launched an attack from the sideways! "

"In terms of defense, his greatest role is to stay in position. His sense of position is very good, but he is not a defender who has changed his job. The professor uses tactics to take advantage of him and asks him to undertake the task of protecting the back line. He almost never steals, but intercepts!"

"The current football offense and defense really determine the outcome in the 30-meter area in front of the goal. In these two areas, the two sides actually no longer pursue the calm control of the ball as before, but are constantly increasing. The appearance of defensive midfielders such as Guardiola and Redondo" is to speed up the rhythm of offensive and defensive transfers, but now, the single midfielder is gradually becoming insufficient."

"But in the professor's tactics, defense is the role of the whole team. The role of the midfielder is to stand firmly in front of the defense line within the area of ​​one's own side, intercept and protect. Remember, it is an interception, not a tackle, nor a steal!"

"Anyone who has played football knows that tackles and steals have wind, and there may be free kicks and fouls at any time. Therefore, if the professor does not use it, he will intercept. Once he finds that the interception cannot be made, he will first block the position and protect the defense. If Di has no choice, he will not tackle or steal, because tackles and steals are windy, and Fengbi can get possession of the ball."

"An interception is different. A successful interception of the opponent's pass is directly converted from defense to offense. Therefore, all opponents who play against Arsenal will feel headaches. They feel that Tianai, a team, may counterattack anytime and anywhere. That's because they have completed an interception, and they have a chance to counterattack."

"Compared to the fierceness and bloodiness of tackles and steals, interception looks like a gentle beauty, which has not attracted enough attention at all. Even the PTA data company has not provided interception data services, but our professors have used this set of tactics from the undefeated season to the present!"

When he said this, a smile appeared on Dong Lengbing's face, his eyes were full of admiration and admiration for Wenger

He stayed at Kearney just to have the opportunity to study Wenger's tactics more deeply, and every time he studied more deeply, he admired Wenger's tactics more idealized

The so-called strongest offense and strongest defense, this is Wenger's secret!
Of course, Wenger still has many treasures to create Arsenal's tactical mysteries, and there are even many deeper things that Benitez still doesn't understand, but he is full of interest and curiosity about Wenger's tactics
"So you're saying that our last tie was because of Gilberto Silva's absence?" one coach asked.

"There are factors in this aspect, because although the combination of Cesc Fabregas and Las Diarra is full of creativity, it cannot provide protection for the defense line in the area of ​​​​the square. Without enough protection, the pressure on the defense line will be great. Lucio did not provide vertical threats and swings as usual. In addition, the offensive width was affected. Arsenal's overall offense is no longer as sharp as before."

Arsenal's tactics are intertwined with each other. If there is a problem in one link, it will naturally cross over to other links.

"But this situation is definitely only temporary. The professor is constantly trying to change, even without changing the lineup. It's just that these will take time and some costs will be paid, and the team's recent state is indeed not very good, but I believe that once Gilberto Silva recovers and returns to the team, he will definitely sacrifice his strongest weapon again!"

Dong has no doubt that in Wenger's mind, the strongest midfield combination must be Nedved Fabregas, Las Diarra and Gilberto Silva. This combination is both offensive and defensive, and it is definitely a nightmare for all opponents.
However, this season Gilberto Silva had a long truce and finally came back, and his state was also affected. As a result, many ideas in Wenger's mind have not been realized for a long time, and the team's performance has also been affected.

It can be said that Arsenal's undefeated season was actually a reflection of the team's overall strength and the crystallization of the tacit understanding between the players. Wenger's role in tactics was because he never got the strongest lineup he wanted most.

Without Gilberto Silva, there will be a loophole in Arsenal's tactics. Ferguson and Mourinho have all seen this loophole, and I believe many opponents have also seen it. By then...

"Dong, it looks like you are so thorough in your analysis. What did you do before?" A coach put Dong's shoulders in admiration.
The latter shook his head, "Playing football!"

"You should be the head coach, you must be very appreciative!" Everyone praised
Dong is one of the most outstanding coaches at Kearney. The team of his age group he led won almost every game, which made him a bit famous in Milan. He was even invited to coach in nearby Como before, but he was rejected by him.
"No, I...," Dong's expression was a bit bitter, "I'm probably not a qualified head coach!"

His background is not without brilliance. With this background, he quickly got the opportunity to coach independently, and it was a chance again and again, but it is a pity that he has never proved his strength well.
For this, he was even a little disheartened.

But he loves football so much, loves this sport so much, so he can't leave football, so he decided to travel around to increase his knowledge of football, so he came to Europe, came to London, and lived here
Up to now, it has been more than two years. He has personally witnessed Arsenal becoming the European champion and becoming a strong European team. And through more than a year of exploration, he has developed Wenger's tactical system by himself.

If Wenger knew that there was such a talent in his youth training camp, he would be very surprised, but it is worth mentioning that Dong is a low-key person, and has hardly communicated with anyone except football

One thing everyone is not familiar with about this low-key young man is that he is Chinese, married, has a lovely daughter, that's all!

But I'm afraid that Lian Dong himself doesn't know that Feng Shuo, who happened to come to the restaurant for dinner, listened to his long speech this time.
There is a saying that is true, being pregnant is like being pregnant, after a long time, it will reveal itself!

　This person will have a lot to do with the protagonist in the future, he is not a soy saucer
