Chapter 39 Midfield strangulation

Christmas is approaching, and the major European seasons are also halfway through their offseason. Google search reading

Of course, there is no winter break in the Premier League, and they still need to continue fighting.

In the Premier League, Liverpool still shows a terrifying state, leading the entire league with a record of 11-3-1.

This state, compared to the half-dead Red Army last season, has attracted special attention.

Followed closely by Arsenal.

Arsenal's status this season is on a relatively stable trend.

They were clinging to the points gap and not giving Liverpool any time to breathe.

This kind of chasing behind the scenes is the most irresistible thing.

It's just that in terms of lineup, Arsenal is going through a large number of rotations.

Walcott's status is ups and downs, Vermaelen has a tendency to get injured, and the team is studying new tactics. Therefore, although it seems to be stable, they are constantly coming up with new things and trying to invest in them.

Of course, Arsenal fans are supportive of such changes.

For Arsenal fans, what they fear most is that they remain unchanged and maintain a state of competing for fourth place.

Although the current Arsenal is constantly ups and downs, constant changes.

But this also just shows that Arsenal is constantly making changes and finding the best posture.

Especially in the midfield.

Arteta began to rotate in the tenth round of the league, and Cazorla and Lucky were responsible for more of the team's organization.

Two new and young core players have injected vitality into the Gunners, while also increasing their competitiveness.

Under the dual-core Arsenal, they showed an extremely high competitive state in the 15th round.

They slaughtered Cardiff with a score of 7-1.

Ushered in the biggest climax in the entire league.

And this game also completely eliminated those voices criticizing Arsenal for "abandoning" Arteta. After all, Arsenal's current state is much better.

The new Arsenal tactics give them the feeling of stability!

With a solid defense, before the opponent enters their own half, Lucky can immediately form a multi-player defensive network to intercept.

Even if the opponent gets past, there is still the double protection of Lucai's single defense line and the back line.

This makes it difficult for the opponent to break through Arsenal's defense.

On the other hand, when attacking, Arsenal's posture is much more bold, rushing towards the opponent's penalty area like hungry wolves.

When attacking, Lucky no longer goes too deep, but protects and supports from the rear. This also provides a layer of insurance for Arsenal's offense.

But the most exciting thing is the difference in rhythm during the transition between offense and defense!

This is Lucky’s strength!

Utilize his ability to foresee and act as a metronome. In many cases, Lucky's sudden pass can directly change the rhythm.

From fast to slow, from slow to fast!

This difference in rhythm gave opponents a great sense of discomfort, but they had nothing to do. After all, Lucai was in the backcourt, and the passing coverage was extremely wide, and they could not limit it at all.

In an era when high-position pressing had not yet become rampant in the Premier League, Arsenal's style of play was extremely unsuitable for the entire Premier League.

Faced with this change, many media said, ‘Arsenal and Wenger have found the right path, and the Gunners are gradually waking up! ’

In the Champions League, after six rounds of group matches, the top 16 spots have been locked in.

Group A: Manchester United, Leverkusen.

Group B: Real Madrid, Galatasaray.

Group C: Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos.

Group D: Bayern Munich, Manchester City.

Group e: Chelsea, Schalke 04.

Group F: Dortmund, Arsenal.

Group G: Atletico Madrid, Zenit.

Group H: Barcelona, ​​AC Milan.

Throughout the Champions League group stage, Group B suffered a big upset.

Juventus lost to Turkish Super League team Galatasaray and missed the Champions League knockout round.

With one draw and one loss at home and away, Juventus, with Chiellini, Bonucci, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal, and Tevez, produced extremely poor results.

In the two games, veterans Drogba and Sneijder performed amazingly, which also made many people look at the Galatasaray team with new eyes.

In addition, the competition in Group F is even more intense.

Group F is known as the death group, but their game showed that the two teams stand out.

Dortmund and Arsenal have a record of 5-0-1 in all six rounds.

They only lost one game at each other's home court and won the rest!

In terms of goal difference, Dortmund leads Arsenal by 1 goal and takes the top spot in the group.

This also makes Arsenal feel extremely sorry.

If they had scored two more goals in the last game, they would have topped the group.

But there is no regret medicine in the world!

The second place in the group also appeared, but it was more difficult to play!

In second place in the entire group, Arsenal has become the hardest nut to crack.

Today's Arsenal has shown an excellent state amid constant changes.

In this regard, the German media "Kicker" said:

"Arsenal has become the last opponent that a team that appears first in the Champions League group wants to face. No one wants to be told that their opponent is Arsenal after working hard to get first in the group."

"Compared to Manchester City's ups and downs in the group stage, Arsenal has been very stable, especially after February, when the main players have returned from injury. This kind of Arsenal is definitely not one of those teams whose goal is to reach the top of Europe. The opponent the team wants to meet!”

"But Arsenal are there! A team has to face him!"

"This will be an extremely exciting competition. This is a hard bone! Very hard! Very hard! Even if it is bitten into pieces, the opponent will still lose one or two teeth!"

Even "London Sports News" expressed dissatisfaction for Arsenal.

"Arsenal should be in Group A! Manchester United's performance is not outstanding. Although it appears first in the group, it cannot go far in the Champions League. Instead of this, it is better for Arsenal to advance as the top spot in Group A, which can make They get a better schedule!”

"Among the current Champions League teams in the Premier League, only Chelsea and Arsenal are competitive enough."

"The era of the Manchester City duo is over!"

This is also the view of many Premier League fans!

They do not deny the performance of Manchester City and Manchester United in previous seasons.

But this season, the performance of the Manchester City duo has been extremely poor.

Especially for Manchester United, after the departure of Ferguson, Moyes was unable to control the team, which led to many problems.

Compared with the Manchester City duo, Arsenal and Chelsea led by Wenger and Mourinho are truly tough.

In the past, Arsenal lacked something to be feared about.

But now that Arsenal has ushered in Lucky's explosion on the defensive end, no team can ignore this point.

Many times, when facing Arsenal, we have to worry about how to deal with Lucky.

After all, not being able to get past Lucky means not being able to score.

Arsenal's wall has become a problem for many teams.

And now the problem has come to Manchester City's side.

Round 16 of the Premier League, Manchester City vs Arsenal!

Facing Arsenal, which is now gaining momentum, how will Manchester City respond?

And whether Manchester City will still show a bad game state.

This game has also become the focus within the Premier League.

December 14th, Manchester City, Manchester City Stadium.

Ah~~~~~~~~~!

More than 60,000 Manchester City fans at the scene made sounds of annoyance.

First half, 14 minutes.

Arsenal was intercepted by Manchester City when attacking and launched a quick counterattack.

Yaya Toure passes the ball to David Silva.

In this game, David Silva, who was on the right front, was marked by Lucai before he completed his turn.

Lucky put so much pressure on David Silva that he couldn't make a turn.

In the process of constantly pulling the ball from left to right, Lucky finally became impatient and pushed directly with his body, arrogantly grabbing the ball from David Silva's feet.

This steal did not have many technical components, it was pure strength, but because of this, Manchester City fans felt helpless.

Because when facing Lucky, they seemed to have no good way to break through him.

The only thing to do is to bypass Lucky.

But Lucky's excellent prediction ability can always reach the landing point of the ball, which makes it difficult for them!

"Following last season's FA Cup final, Manchester City once again ushered in the crazy strangulation of Arsenal's midfield!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head and said: "Obviously so far, Manchester City still can't find a way to break through Kai."

Lucky wanders around the center circle.

The Manchester City fans booed loudly.

And when he got the ball, the boos got even louder.

This affected Lucai to a certain extent, and also made him feel a little unhappy.

Lucky calmly observed the direction of the game.

At the same time, he paid attention to his teammates' movements.

Cazorla passed the ball back to Lucky. As soon as Lucky received the ball, the opponent's center Negredo rushed over and harassed Lucky.

As a rare power center in football, Negredo is confident enough in his ability.

But after he entangled Lucai, he found that he was completely unable to shake him.

Lucky, on the other hand, almost carried Negredo on his shoulders to complete the work of delivering the ball.

Seeing Lucky complete the ball, Negredo shook his head helplessly.

He was in a very depressed mood.

I am a strong man of 85 kilograms but I can't shake Lucai. What kind of physical ability is this?

At the same time, he also somewhat understood Aguero's instructions to him before the game.

‘Don’t fight with that guy! That's just causing trouble for yourself! ’
