Explosive shooting at full level at the beginning, the arrival of the British Emperor Star

At the post-match press conference, Guardiola still seemed very confident: "This was a highly entertaining game, and both teams played at a very high level."

"Both Barcelona and Arsenal have had many opportunities. Congratulations to Arsenal for winning at home."

"We got an away goal and we still have a good chance of advancing when we return home."

Facing reporters, the Barcelona coach congratulated Arsenal generously.

A reporter immediately started making trouble: "Compared to previous games, your team has no obvious advantage on the road."

"Arsenal had [-] shooting chances compared to Barcelona's nine."

"In terms of possession, your team is not as dominant as it has been in the past."

"Judging from the game scenes and data, your team seems to have encountered a well-matched opponent."

Guardiola smiled: "Yes, Arsenal is a good opponent. This game should be written into football textbooks."

"I know people have been talking about the difference between Barcelona and Arsenal and these two games are classic examples."

"Although we had fewer shots than our opponents, we got more scoring opportunities."

"We created four must-goal chances and only scored one goal."

"In my opinion, Arsenal created two absolute scoring chances but they didn't take them."

"And their two goals were not absolute chances. Both goals depended on the players' personal abilities."

When asked about Van Persie and Sun Ke, Guardiola did not hesitate to praise them: "This is Robin's best season. He has always been Arsenal's most threatening player when he is healthy."

"The performance of the kid named Sun Ke in this game was amazing. He is tall, strong, has good speed, and has good passing ability."

"His emergence has improved Arsenal's defensive performance, which has made Arsenal very competitive throughout Europe."

"But sometimes it all depends on luck which teams you encounter, but the championship team must beat all opponents."

A few minutes later, Wenger also arrived at the press conference.

The professor said that a one-goal advantage is not guaranteed, but Arsenal has already gained an advantage.

When asked about the ball possession rate of the two teams, Wenger said calmly: "This is determined by the characteristics of the two teams. We prefer to keep passing the ball forward, while the opponent is better at controlling it."

After the game, Arsenal's ball possession rate was 46%, while Barcelona's was 54%.

Arsenal took more shots and both players covered similar distances.

Sun Ke and Harvey both ran more than 13000 meters.

I'm afraid the "back-posting method" didn't understand a problem.

As the successor of Xavi as people say, he is completely overwhelmed by others in terms of technical ability, and he can't even outrun others.

What kind of class is this?

As long as Harvey maintains his current form, his successor will be completely eliminated after two seasons.

He tried forward positions and wingers in Barcelona's forward-less tactics, and even tried Keita's position that focused on doing dirty work, and the results were indescribable.

But Barcelona is not worried. Even if he fails in Barcelona, ​​the club will not lose much money. If he sells it back, it can at least maintain its value.

It's just that Arsenal's transfer share ratio is a bit disgusting.

After the game, media around the world were discussing the game.

Both head coaches are representatives of offensive football, and their football styles have naturally been compared repeatedly by countless people over the years.

In the 2009-2010 season, this Arsenal had just completed its establishment, and the team led by the professor was at a comprehensive disadvantage in two rounds.

Last season, Arsenal's young people entered the growth stage and already had the ability to compete with Barcelona.

After winning at home, Arsenal players exposed their lack of detail control.

Coupled with Robin van Persie being sent off, Arsenal in its growth period regretted losing.

This season, Arsenal already have the ability to fight Barcelona face to face.

Although the home score is still 2-1, the content has been qualitatively improved.

Even with similar strengths, various media and even professionals are talking about this game.

Even if it is just an ordinary knockout match, many celebrities believe that this game is enough to be used as a collector's edition and discussed repeatedly in future coaching courses.

Some media even believe that the significance of this game in the football world is equivalent to the Battle of Kursk.

This game even attracted the godfather of Dutch football Cruyff.

Cruyff gave a comprehensive explanation in a program: "Only a fool would ignore the value of this game."

"You have been discussing Gua Liu and Onew. What kind of tactical style they pursue, you can find the answer in this game."

"In addition, this game is also very entertaining to watch."

"After watching this battle, you will find that time flies by and there is no time to lose focus."

"Third, Arsenal met Barcelona, ​​the most powerful team in history. They are probably the only team that dares to attack and still win."

The English media found several interesting issues.

First, this Barcelona seems to have lost its ink.

In a normal game, Barcelona's kick can put the spectators in the stands to sleep.

Many so-called Barcelona fans are champion fans. They are fans of whichever team is in its prime.

They usually can't watch Barcelona's games at all, they only watch the highlights and some news to save up enough bragging rights.

Watch two Spanish derbies in a season, watch four or five Champions League knockout games, buy a pirated jersey, and call yourself a die-hard Barcelona fan.

The English media did not expect Barcelona to speed up and play back and forth with Arsenal.

Second, this Barcelona team doesn’t like falling down.

Among them, the scene of Busquets being knocked down by Sun Ke and getting up to fight Sun Ke was played repeatedly.

This guy actually stopped pretending. The brand of La Masia Film and Television Academy has been ruined.

This game was not an ordinary smooth one. There were not many fouls on both sides, and the whole game was run and gun.

When Cruyff mentioned this issue, he thought it was all Arsenal's fault.

He believed that the players from both sides were somewhat sympathetic to each other in this game.

Although the two teams defended tightly and fought fiercely, they were completely different from the physical teams.

The godfather of Dutch football insists that when teams with superior skills meet, they naturally want to compete in their skills.

He believes that most of the tricks such as time-consuming and diving are used to deal with the "bus company" that lowers the lower limit of the competition.

Use disgusting tactics to deal with evil people.

But when playing against a team like Arsenal, the competition is naturally about skills and intelligence.

Cruyff believes that Arsenal players' courageous forward attacking style also checks and balances Barcelona's ball possession tactics.

Why can't ordinary teams compete with Barcelona?

It's not that they don't want to.

I don't have that ability.

Barcelona players fought too hard in the frontcourt, and ordinary teams couldn't resist Barcelona's pressing and counter-attacking.

Even for some teams with first-class stars, only one or two players are capable, and overall there is still no way to compete with Barcelona.

Cruyff believed that the players trained by Wenger were not inferior in technique.

Whether it is their ability to read the game or cooperate in a small area, they can be used to offset Barcelona's advantages.

What Barcelona fears most is that like Inter Milan and Chelsea, a group of muscular sticks stand in position, knock down anyone in the frontcourt, and kick the ball in the backcourt.

Barcelona lost in major competitions in the past two years, always against teams like this.

Fighting physically against a powerful team, for Barcelona players, is to let the talent show off.

In recent years, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona has almost never encountered a situation where they needed to retreat.

Arsenal's bold attack forced Barcelona to increase its strength in the backcourt.

On several attacks, Arsenal even dared to put six or seven people in the frontcourt, but the professor just dared to play with his heartbeat.

If Barcelona does not invest heavily in the backcourt, Arsenal's offense can be described as fierce and sharp, which is likely to result in continuous conceding of goals.

After Barcelona pulled back, the pressing situation in the frontcourt was naturally broken. The two sides could only keep pulling the trigger on each other like roulette.

Cruyff concluded by pointing out the two biggest differences between Arsenal and Barcelona.

First, Barcelona presses in the frontcourt, controls continuously, and does not give up until it controls the opponent to death. They solve defensive problems in the frontcourt.

Arsenal, on the other hand, constantly uses forward passes to obtain several times more shooting opportunities than their opponents.

Such tactics will give the opponent many opportunities to prevent counterattacks, but Arsenal's best effort is to lure the enemy deeper and prevent counterattacks faster.

Second, Cruyff also believes that Guardiola emphasizes the overall situation. He has already designed the plot before the game, and the players must play according to his script.

Even if there is top superstar Messi, he must implement the tactics in the framework and not give him the opportunity to play freely.

Wenger did not give him a script, only an outline, and he could figure out the specific content himself.

The Dutch godfather believes that Arsenal's two links are very important.

One is a center and the other is a defensive midfielder.

The goal-scoring ability of the center is the foundation. Without a good center, it will be difficult for the team's tactics to be established.

The interception ability of the defensive midfielder is advanced, which can give the team more opportunities to switch offense and defense.

Speaking of which, Kloof specifically singled out Van Persie and Sun Ke.

He believes that Van Persie's top performance is the foundation for Arsenal's success in the league and Champions League, while Sun Ke is a key factor in Arsenal's advancement.

What do you mean?

Whether he can meet Barcelona or not, Van Persie has the final say.

Whether he can beat Barcelona or not, Sun Ke has the final say.

Cruyff's assessment was widely recognized.

As a result, the 29-year-old Van Persie's worth has reached 3500 million pounds. The reason why the price is so low is that he is older and is about to enter the contract year.

In comparison, Sun Ke's value has risen much more rapidly, rising directly to 3900 million pounds.

Sun Ke feels that if it were placed in 2023, with a household registration, he would probably be worth no worse than Rice.

Although he has not participated in the World Series, he has proven himself at Arsenal and scored the winning goal against Barcelona.

A Caicedo who has played well for a mid-tier club for a season is worth this price. If it were 12 years later, Sun Ke would estimate that Chelsea would be the first to spend money on him.
