Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Arsenal advanced to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2015-2016 season. The two-leg match against Bayern, the southern king of the Bundesliga, in the quarter-finals will not end until the international break in March, that is, the game will not be played until April.

Therefore, Wenger's team has enough time to prepare, and they can even focus on the league first to see if they can wait until Leicester City makes a mistake and win the championship in advance.

The team has performed extremely well this season, and is 15 points ahead of second place Leicester City with one game in hand. With the fastest record of winning the Premier League and the number of points to win, it is natural that they want to break the record set by Ferguson and Mourinho. Record.

Of course, the premise is that it is done in a small range of rotations.

It would be completely unnecessary to go to war for so-called records.

A sure thing is, at best, icing on the cake.

The Champions League and FA Cup are the team honors Wenger wants to win!

Old rivals Ferguson and Mourinho both have Champions League titles, and he doesn't want to wait until he retires to miss out on this championship.

In the blink of an eye, the 2015st round of the 2016-31 Premier League season kicked off.

Leicester City, which Arsenal fans are eager to lose, played very poorly. They defeated Crystal Palace 1:0 as a guest and won their third consecutive game with a 1-goal victory.

A highlight match kicked off later at Goodison Park. Leader Arsenal relied on Martin's outstanding performance to defeat Everton 2:0 away from home, once again opening up a 15-point gap with Leicester City.

Martin, who contributed one assist in this game, also raised his number of assists in a single season to 30, tying the record of 30 assists in a single season he set when he played for Wolfsburg last season.

The focus of this league round was undoubtedly the Manchester Derby. Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium lost 0:1 to Manchester United.

As the 31st round of the league comes to an end, world football also welcomes the international match day in March.

Players with national team game assignments went to the national team hotel to report and prepare for two international A-level games.

Affected by the overall excellent performance of Arsenal players, most of them, including rotation players, were called up by the national team, so the number of people participating in the first-team training ground at Colney training base during the international break was very limited.

Fortunately, the Spanish national team has a good reserve of personnel. Monreal, Bellerin, Cazorla and Arteta, who is about to retire, have not been called up by the Spanish national team and have all stayed in London.

In order to ensure the players' condition, head coach Wenger gave the players three days off and arranged for the first-team players who stayed on the team to train with the youth team.

Wenger and his coaching staff will focus entirely on the key matches after the international break.

Champions League quarter-finals!

考虑到两回合淘汰赛先主后客，4月5日晚上8点45分在主场迎战拜仁的首回合1/4决赛就显得格外重要。

Once Bayern fails to defeat Bayern at home or the goal difference is low, the game at the Allianz Arena in the second round will become unlucky.

It is precisely for this reason that Wenger's coaching team felt a lot of pressure during preparations for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

After all, the overall strength of Southern King Bayern is extremely strong.

Although the team has changed greatly after having Martin, it does not mean that it will definitely defeat the visiting Bayern.

How to do?

How to achieve as much goal difference as possible at home?

These have become two issues that Wenger's coaching team has prioritized to solve.

After two or three days of careful consideration, assistant coach Bould suggested: "Boss, I suggest that in the home game, Martin should be given the first position and play as a free agent in the frontcourt. He is in very good condition, has high scoring efficiency and is close to the goal. The probability of scoring a goal will also increase."

"What about defense?"

Gary Williams frowned.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this tactical arrangement, but without Martin, the team's defensive system will drop to at least one level.

The Champions League is a two-leg knockout round. The first priority should be defense, followed by offense.

"Defense can be like this..."

Boulder walked to the tactical board in his office and spoke out all the issues he had considered over the past two days.

Wenger, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but nod his head.

The tactic of Martin playing as a free agent in the frontcourt is not unused. As Gary Williams said, Martin's positional conditions will inevitably bring hidden dangers to the transition from offense to defense. Although he is closer to the opponent's goal, he has a higher probability of scoring, but he is far away. If our defense line is too far away, it will also give Bayern an opportunity to make a fuss at this distance.

But as the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger.

Moreover, Martin's main position is more of an organizational midfielder, and at most he has the task of forward penetration from time to time.

Guardiola's coaching team will find that after watching a few more game videos, Martin's tactics as a free agent in the frontcourt are rarely used.

Guardiola, who once led Barcelona very successfully, also has his own arrogance. Bayern's overall strength is also top-notch. He will definitely think that Arsenal cannot put Martin in the frontcourt as a free man who will bring hidden dangers to the defense. The targeted tactical deployment must be Martin serves as an organizational midfielder.

To put it simply, Bold's idea is to use Guardiola's strong self-confidence to do the opposite and see if he can score one or two goals before he reacts.

At that time, Martin's position will be moved back to lead the defense again and prepare for the defensive counterattack to expand the score.

Faced with Bayern's rapid counterattack from defense to offense when Martin was a free agent in the frontcourt, Bould also briefly talked about the solution.

Defense on the spot, tactical foul!

In addition, Martin's abundant physical fitness and positional prerequisites do not mean that he does not need to take into account defense, but rather amplify his comprehensive personal abilities.

The entire tactical intention is connected one after another, and it also makes Wenger determined to surprise Bayern, coached by Guardiola, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at home!

The international A-level competition on the international match day is in full swing. Martin, who was practicing at the Colney training base, was ecstatic when he learned about the coaching staff's tactical arrangements for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Defending to the extreme can certainly give you a great sense of satisfaction, but the surging passion brought by scoring goals is incomparable to defense, even if you have completed the defense against Messi.

In order to be in excellent competitive shape in the Champions League quarter-finals, he practiced dribbling, long-range shooting and back-breaking into the penalty area to participate in headers at the training ground.

The staff at the Kearney training base and the youth team members can clearly feel that Martin is in very good condition. Whether it is dribbling, long shots or set pieces, he is very efficient.

"Perhaps we can give the world a big surprise at home."

Assistant coach Bould raised the corners of his mouth, showing an expectant smile.

"really."

Wenger looked at Martin who was sweating profusely and couldn't help but nodded.

Munich, Sebena training ground.

Bayern first team office.

Guardiola and his coaching staff are nervously studying Arsenal, who they will face in the Champions League quarter-finals.

To be precise, it is to study how to inhibit Martin's performance on both offense and defense.

It is easy to summarize the problem, but it becomes particularly troublesome to actually operate it.
