I brush achievements in football

In this game, Emery sent a three-four-one-two lineup, goalkeeper Gullac, three central defenders Mustafi, Papastathopoulos and David Luiz, with Bellerin and Tierney on the wings. , Guendouzi and Torreira in the middle, Ozil as the attacking midfielder, and double forwards Aubameyang and Lacazette.

This is already Arsenal's strongest lineup, but the flaws of this lineup are also obvious, that is, the wings are weak, and it is difficult to support the two sides with only Bellerin and Tierney.

Ji Ya sent a four-three-three lineup, goalkeeper Mendy, defender Cancelo, Rudiger, Dericht, Peters, midfielder De Bruyne, Soucek, Valverde, forward B Fei, Du Yue, Sancho.

He didn't specifically send two wingers to target Arsenal's flanks, but strengthening the midfield in this way could better suppress Arsenal's midfield.

Arsenal's lineup has obvious weaknesses on the wing, but in fact another non-obvious weakness is even more fatal.

That's their midfield.

Both Torreira and Guendouzi are relatively mediocre midfielders. They are good at playing, that is, doing auxiliary work. They are quite average in organizing and leading the team's offense. Originally, Ozil was competent for this task, but the goldfish In the past year or so, his state has declined quite severely, and he is no longer the core midfielder in Real Madrid.

Under such circumstances, it is quite difficult for Arsenal's midfielder to create opportunities. They launch an attack, and they can only rely on the personal abilities of the two forwards.

Although Aubameyang and Lacazette are forwards with excellent personal abilities, how well can they perform under such circumstances?

"Emery, the head coach, is actually not suitable for leading a wealthy family." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.

Arsenal fans started to feel depressed shortly after the game started.

Because soon, Southampton had the advantage in the midfield, and then kept putting pressure on Arsenal to launch an attack.

Under the pressure of Southampton, Arsenal's defense also began to make some mistakes.

If you say that Arsenal players have no strength, that’s not necessarily the case. They are basically excellent players, but no matter how good the players are, they need the right position and use to perform better, even De Bruyne. The top midfielder in the national team did not perform as well in the club. This is also something everyone can see. Du Yue also did not show a particularly good state due to usage problems in the national team.

These are all questions worth thinking about.

Tierney lost the ball in Cancelo's press. After Cancelo took the ball, he quickly passed it to Sancho in front. Sancho took the ball forward. Seeing that no one came up to defend him for the time being, his attention was on Du Yue And B Fei's body, decisively choose long-range shots!

The ball roared towards the goal, then went wide of the far post...

"This kid, the long-range shot still needs to be strengthened." Ji Ya muttered.

"It's not just long-range shooting, his shooting ability is also average and needs to be improved, but he is still young and has room for improvement." Benelli said with a smile.

Ji Ya nodded. Sancho has been in Southampton for many years, but his progress seems to have stagnated. Next, I have to talk to him, but the coach said more about hard training. It's useless, it depends on whether he can do it himself.

After this attack, Southampton did not reduce the power of midfield control. They continued to attack, suppressing Arsenal's defense, looking for opportunities to score.

Under the suppression of Southampton, Arsenal's defensive line, which was not very good, began to show more flaws. In the 8th minute, Sancho dribbled the ball forward after receiving a pass from the wing, and then passed directly to the front of the penalty area. , Du Yue pretended to take the ball, but lifted his foot and missed the ball. The ball flew into the penalty area, and the forward B Fei took the ball, and then kicked his foot to the ground for the first time to shoot. The ball quickly flew into the far corner of the goal!

Although Gulachi made a save, he was still a step too late!

"The goal was scored! Southampton quickly took the lead in the away game! The attention of Arsenal's defense line was on Du Yue, but Du Yue made B Fei a single-handedly through a leaked ball! The flaws of Arsenal's three defenders are indeed It's a bit big, how can there be so much space in the penalty area?"

The commentators began to comment on Arsenal's defense. They are an offensive tactic and use three backs. The space in the defense is indeed too large, and there are too many places that can be used.

After taking the lead, Arsenal tried to counterattack, while Southampton kept entangled with them in the midfield, killing their spirit.

The overall lack is like this. Even if the players want to work hard, they always feel that something is missing.

They can only create some opportunities through some personal performances.

Ozil kept taking the ball, and then kept trying to create opportunities through breakthroughs. However, under the pressure of Soucek, it was difficult for him to create opportunities. Soucek used his strength and height advantages to the fullest. Incisively and vividly, it made Ozil quite uncomfortable.

Under such circumstances, Arsenal only had some backcourt passes to create opportunities. Aubameyang broke through and shot after taking the ball, which was blocked in time by De Ligt. Lacazette also had a shot in the penalty area and was blocked Mendy saved the ball bravely.

The two sides have been entangled for more than 30 minutes, but Southampton still seized an opportunity. In the melee, De Bruyne broke through with the ball in the middle, and then passed it to Valverde who responded from the side. Valverde took the ball and turned around. Seeing that the opponent didn't come up to press him immediately, he decisively chose to shoot from the top of the penalty area!

The power of this shot is quite strong. After Valverde kicked the ball, he couldn't stabilize his center of gravity and fell to the ground. The ball quickly flew into the penalty area, and then flew into Arsenal's gate against the far post. !

Facing this shot with excellent strength and angle, Gulac, who had made several wonderful saves before, could only do nothing!

Looking at the Southampton players celebrating wildly, Gulac shook his head helplessly. After joining Arsenal, he realized how easy his previous game in Southampton was...

In Arsenal, the income is indeed much higher, but facing the indiscriminate bombing of opponents in every game, it is also much more.

Kiya and Benelli clapped their hands to celebrate. They led by two goals in the first half. This game was basically won.

And Southampton's smooth offense in the last few games is enough to prove that the players have begun to get used to such a rotation, and they can play very well around Du Yue and De Bruyne!
