I brush achievements in football

Arsenal's recent staff is not very neat-this is the reason why their performance before and after the winter break is always poor. They will always have someone absent, and their lineup itself is not good enough. Naturally, it's not going anywhere.

Coming to Southampton this time, Arsenal lacked three more generals. First, the two full-backs Gibbs and Sagna were both absent due to injuries. It took half a year to stabilize their core position and Arteta, who performed well, was also absent. If the three main players are absent, Arsenal's strength will naturally be weakened a lot.

Wenger showed his conservative side at this time. He did not use Chamberlain, who could actually play in the center, as an attacking midfielder. Instead, he let Arshavin come to the center to organize the attack, and Benayoun served as the left winger.

The most terrible thing is that Arsenal's full-time full-backs actually only have those two main players-Arsenal's transfer market this summer has been procrastinating, and they only signed four players at the last moment. It is inevitable that there will be omissions.

So in this game, Wenger can only use Julu as the right back and the teenager Miquel as the left back-this is basically a makeshift fight.

You must know that although Julu has played in Arsenal for many years, Arsenal fans themselves complained that there is only one explanation for him being able to stay in Arsenal for so long, and that is that he is Wenger's godson...

As for the talented young player Miquel, it is difficult for some strongmen to be kicked out of the ducks and put on the shelves at this time.

Such a lineup is almost pieced together, although the skeleton is still there, such as the combination of central defenders Mertesacker and Koscielny, Alexander Song as a midfielder, and captain Van Persie as a single forward...

But in the positions of the two full-backs and the core of the playmaker, they are rushing to the shelves!

This is fatal.

This season, Arsenal's main players have been injured or suspended in turn. If they hadn't had a captain named Van Persie who was sick before but had no injuries this season, there would be no fun for Arsenal this season.

Before they won consecutive victories, they rushed from the bottom of the points to the top five, relying on Van Persie's continuous goals.

This game seems to be no exception.

Only 10 minutes into the first half, Arshavin took the ball in the middle and sent a beautiful through ball. Van Persie broke into the penalty area after receiving the ball. The far corner of the door.

Southampton fans booed loudly, Van Persie celebrated and Fonte and Keylor Navas looked at each other.

"Damn it." Navas said depressingly.

"Yeah, it feels like he shot the goal without full swing, it's really weird." Feng Tet nodded.

"If it weren't for this, your block and my save would not be slow." Navas kicked the ball with a big foot.

"Van Persie's characteristic is really a headache, but fortunately, he can't just hit such a beautiful goal." Ji Ya snorted.

"He has scored [-] league goals this season, and at least ten of them have been scored in similar ways." Benelli kindly reminded.

Ji Ya snorted.

Being led by Arsenal, the Southampton players immediately launched a fierce counterattack. They began to put pressure on the midfield, constantly suppressing Arsenal's midfield.

The technical content of Arsenal's midfielder is not a problem. Whether it is Walcott, Arshavin or Benayoun, they are all very good attackers. However, they are poor in running and defense. Ramsey He worked very hard, but after all, he was still young, and it was still a bit difficult to harden Arsenal's waist by relying on Alexander Song alone.

Southampton's midfield suppressed Arsenal's midfield step by step like a millstone, forcing them to continue to recover, and they could only create threats by counterattacking.

After 10 minutes, Ronaldo took the ball on the left, Klose ran laterally and took away a defender, Ronaldo passed the ball into the penalty area, Vidal who advanced forward took the ball, and Ramsey who returned to defend hurriedly He stretched out his feet to tackle the ball, but failed to tackle the ball. Vidal screamed and fell to the ground. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. William took the penalty overnight!

Ramsey, who made a mistake, performed very well in the next period of time. He kept running in the midfield, constantly returning to defense and advancing forward, and supported the team's offense with his own running.

And Van Persie is also looking for opportunities. He is in a very good state today, and the players can clearly feel this.

His running position is still very erratic, but with three players behind him who can pass the ball to him, this allows him to create a threat as long as he gets the ball.

The game went to No.208 minutes...

Benayoun took the ball wide, after a lot of passing, and then he saw Van Persie heading into the box...

Benayoun immediately lifted his foot and passed the ball diagonally to the penalty area!

Van Persie and Wundt rushed to the ball at the same time, but Van Persie was still one step faster. He received the ball first, then made a sideways move, and then shot decisively!

However, this time, Wundt's movement of raising his foot to block was a step faster, which interfered with Van Persie's shooting to a certain extent.

The ball flew to the far corner of the goal, and Navas also reacted in advance, with a side attack, firmly pressing the ball under him!

"Nice saves and defenses!"

The commentator shouted, Navas got up from the ground with the ball, kicked the ball far away, and then high-fived Wundt.

"It's enough to improve our concentration, and his rhythm will be faster, but as long as we are not paralyzed, we can still complete the save." Fonte said to Navas.

Navas nodded.

"If you see it, this is also an improvement in experience."

Kiya, who saw all this, said to Benelli with a smile.

Benelli nodded: "This defense is really exciting."

On the field, the two sides continued to stalemate. Wenger looked at the field with a frown. Now Arsenal's midfielder was suppressed by Southampton's running and strength. Compared with them, Southampton's central The running and confrontation ability on the field are all higher.

After all, when facing Barcelona, ​​they can also suppress Barcelona through running so that they cannot play their smooth passing offense, let alone Arsenal's offense is actually much worse than Barcelona's.

If this continues, the game will be very difficult.

But Wenger has no good solution. He is not a head coach with excellent on-the-spot command ability. Chamberlain replaced Walcott, will it change the game?

Impossible!

Wenger thought gloomily, the attackers on the bench were Chamberlain, Henry, who had just returned from the United States in the winter, and Rosicky, who returned from injury... But will their effects be seen immediately?
