My name is Colani

It is not so good to say that Trapani's defense is so good in the Champions League. They lost goals against their opponents in the group stage, but their defense began to get better in the knockout stage. Of course, Arsenal on the opposite side is even better. They have not lost a goal in eight Champions League games.

Wenger and Deschamps are both offensive teams. The fact that they have not lost a goal in eight games fully proves Arsenal's excellent state.

Wenger often switched between 442 and 451 in the past two seasons. The 451 formation is more conducive to his control of the midfield. The actual position is more like 4231. There are two defensive midfielders in the defense, and there are many attacking players in the frontcourt when attacking. Henry, the great god on the front line, is even more ruthless.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann

Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Flamini

Midfielders: Pires, Fabregas, Gilberto, Heleb, Ljungberg

Forward: Henry

The game started. Trapani arranged two defensive midfielders, Essien and Mascherano, in the midfield. The playing style was the same as when Pizarro was there, and they were as direct as possible.

In the past two years, Trapani's outstanding players are not only the players in the frontcourt, but also the defenders, especially the two wing defenders, who have excellent assist ability and solid defense. They have both physical strength and technical skills. From the actual role, they are better than Arsenal's.

Arsenal's main left-back Ashley Cole is having a quarrel with the team. His story with Chelsea is very big. He was seriously injured again in October last year. He just returned recently, but it is not enough to play. Ashley Cole has been absent for too long. His condition is a problem. Wenger will not take risks.

Ashley Cole is now known as the best left-back in the world, but Hugo does not think he is better than his Evra and Jankulovski.

After the start, Trapani's full-backs were very bold and often assisted upwards. In fact, this is also a strategy. Arsenal's Wenger also pursued such a strategy, using offense to limit the opponent's offense and then reduce the pressure on his own defense. Arsenal's defense is really not world-class. The reason why they can withstand it is because their offense is really fierce. Compared with the Vieira era, Arsenal now has a very good control ability, sometimes they can speed up the rhythm, and sometimes they can use control to suppress the opponent.

Wenger's idea is good, but Deschamps is not stupid. He has no idea of ​​competing with the opponent for control. It is direct and simple. The midfielder is responsible for intercepting, and then the ball is given to the two wings. The midfielder and striker Klose are responsible for support.

After pressing forward, cross the ball and find Toni!

Both teams adopted the idea of ​​attacking to stop the attack on the court, but the results were different. Deschamps always deployed heavy troops in the middle of the midfield and backcourt, and did not press forward easily. He also used the running ability of Maicon and Jankulovski and the defensive awareness of Cesar on the wing to successfully limit Arsenal's offensive.

On the other hand, Trapani's playing style was much simpler, and players could often be seen working alone. Messi had a lot of freedom, and Deschamps encouraged him to make more long passes. Flamini was under great pressure facing Messi.

Wenger had too many people in the frontcourt, and Trapani's playing style directly caused them to sometimes have no time to return to defense. It seemed that Arsenal had the advantage in control, but it was not very threatening. Trapani was more threatening in the first twenty minutes.

However, after twenty minutes, Arsenal changed its playing style, and Henry began to assist more. As a center forward, he was not a pure center forward but also had the ability of a super winger. When he strengthened the movement on the left and right sides, Trapani's life suddenly became a little sad.

Arsenal's frontcourt quick cuts are of high quality, which Trapani does not have. Deschamps had anticipated such a thing and made arrangements, but Trapani's defensive system was still torn apart by Arsenal from time to time.

Deschamps hesitated and was unwilling to give up. He could choose to continue defending like this, and he could still bring threats to Arsenal on the offensive end. If he grasped the opportunity well, he could score.

He could also choose to shrink his formation and increase the defensive density in the 35-meter area in the backcourt. This is a magic weapon to deal with Arsenal's quick penetration. Even weak teams can limit the opponent's small-scale penetration most of the time.

Deschamps made up his mind not to give in after thinking for a long time. His defense line was still so dangerous. Barzagli and Samuel were very nervous. Henry often ran away. Deschamps was doing regional defense. Henry was in the center area, which was naturally Barzagli and Samuel's business. Samuel would bite him tightly, but if Henry ran to the left or right sides, they would not fill in the position with full-backs on both sides.

Henry can often find gaps in between. If he is not careful, he will find space. The shooting path may be restricted, but Trapani cannot restrict the space for receiving the ball.

Deschamps's lack of change soon led to Trapani losing the ball. In the 34th minute, Arsenal took advantage of Henry's support. Hleb and his teammates made two consecutive wall-to-wall cooperations and entered the penalty area. With a light heel knock, Henry understood and shot low. Samuel stretched out his foot to block it. Kameni fell to the ground with extremely fast reaction, but they could not stop Henry from scoring.

After scoring, Henry was actually surrounded by Trapani players. Samuel was in front, Barzagli was on the left, and Mascherano was in place in the back, but he just lacked a tackle.

Every player of Trapani was very disappointed. Arsenal's penetration and cutting cooperation was done quickly, but the arrival rate of Trapani players was not bad, just a little short. Henry would never get such an opportunity. After all, he made a little mistake!

"Alas!" Hugo sighed silently in his heart. Hugo's disappointment after losing this goal was limited, because the opponent was Arsenal and Henry. They had the ability to score such a goal, but someone else might not be able to do it!

I can only say that Arsenal’s cooperation is indeed amazing, great!

Hugo couldn't help but cast his eyes on Wenger. The professor was still clenching his fists in celebration!

The old man Wenger still has a lot of brushes.

Deshang shook his head inconspicuously, but he did not regret it. He would definitely bear the possible consequences of his choice.

He was very worried that Trapani's players would be hit by this goal. After all, as far as the Champions League is concerned, it is not too much to call Trapani a new team. Deschamps hopes that the current players can be as ruthless as the previous Monaco players. Work hard and get out of losing the ball quickly!

Trapani's players did not disappoint him. Kameni clapped behind him and shouted for his teammates to focus. He shouted "We can score goals too!"

The two central defenders, Samuel and Barzagli, did not blame the midfielder for not being able to position in time and encouraged everyone to attack.

When we played against Inter Milan last time, Deschamps said that we have done enough until now. This mentality affects the players. After losing the ball, they did not panic and continued to attack upwards after the restart!

The Arsenal players did not expect that the only benefit this situation would bring them was that they were ahead, and nothing else changed.

Deschamps observed from the sidelines and re-issued instructions to Trapani's players. When defending, pay attention to shrinking, do not suppress their wings too much, and shrink to the center area to defend. He is giving up the wings. Road's kicking style.

Arsenal's style of play actually rarely chooses crosses. They rely more on cross substitutions to break into Trapani's core area and use Henry's anti-offside ability.

The contraction of Trapani has made the center denser. This approach of letting the wings go is a bit risky, but fortunately Henry is not the kind of super forward in the penalty area. We can appreciate Henry's many long-distance attacks, many inside and outside the penalty area. He is a deft shot that pursues angles, but his ability to grab points in the small penalty area is not as good as his compatriot Trezeguet and not as good as Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area.

Trapani's players run more diligently. If they want to score goals, their ability to move up and down the midfield must be strong.
