Strong Waist
Chapter 67: Arsenal’s Central Axis
On March 8, Arsenal ushered in the sixth round of the FA Cup, which is the quarter-finals.
Arsenal's opponent is Everton. In the draw, Arsenal needs to play away from home.
In this game, Wenger sent most of his substitutes on to give the main players enough rest.
For Wenger and Arsenal in the past, their condition was not good and their form was not outstanding. Therefore, the FA Cup became their only channel to win the championship.
Therefore, Arsenal continues to compete in the FA Cup.
But today's Arsenal has the ability to compete for the league title. At the same time, it defeated Bayern Munich away in the Champions League quarter-finals and maintained a certain advantage.
In this case, only a fool would compete for the FA Cup, which has the lowest gold content.
In the past, there was no choice, but now we have to make a choice!
In this game, Lucky, Cazorla, and Suarez were not included in the squad at all and were directly ordered to rest.
Most of the other main players also sat on the bench and watched the entire game.
Even if Arsenal fell behind, Wenger would only substitute a few main players for a symbolic kick.
In the end, Arsenal lost to Everton with a score of 2:3 and were eliminated from the FA Cup.
Arsenal lost, but the fans didn't think so.
Because they also know very well that compared to the FA Cup, there are bigger championships for them to compete for.
The next day, with almost no rest time, Arsenal played another round of the 29th round of the league without stopping.
However, since most of the main players were fully rested, it did not have much impact on the game.
They faced Swansea at home in round 29.
Facing the challenge from Swansea, Arsenal showed an extremely tough offensive attitude at the beginning of the game.
Arsenal, with Lucky and Cazorla as the core, continued to conduct ground passes, and scored four goals in 40 minutes with one pass after another.
Suarez scored two goals, Cazorla and Walcott each scored one goal!
Arsenal's offensive firepower is extremely strong.
Seeing this scene, the Sky Sports commentator couldn't help but sigh; "This Gunners have undergone a transformation. They are no longer a team that relies on a certain player or a certain person to win the game, but a tight team. Let’s work together and use the strength of the entire team to defeat our opponents!”
"Such gunmen are terrifying. They are a well-disciplined wolf pack. Under the leadership of Kai, they pounce fiercely. Once the gunman bites their throat, they will bite and not let go until the other party gives up. "
"We have said before that Arsenal's game is too beautiful and lacks enough blood!"
"Looking at Arsenal now, they are not only bloody, but also cruel!"
Yes, Arsenal is cruel!
After scoring their sixth goal in the second half, Arsenal still did not stop attacking.
Obviously they saw this game as a good opportunity to improve their numbers.
It wasn't until the 80th minute, when Arsenal scored their seventh goal, that Lucky stopped this crushing attack.
Lucky can clearly feel that Swansea's players are on the verge of collapse. If they really kick these guys out, they don't know what they will do.
So give in when it's time to give in.
Wenger also made substitution adjustments, and he put the substitute on for training.
With a seven-goal lead, unless there is a miracle, Swansea can't come back!
90 minutes passed.
In the end, Arsenal 7:0 Swansea, after Southampton, once again became a victim of Arsenal's gun!
And this big victory also raised Arsenal's morale to the limit.
Arsenal players are very satisfied with the result of this game.
It's just a matter of brushing data.
Suarez completed a hat trick, Cazorla scored twice, and Walcott and Ramsey both scored.
Lucky also came out with two assists.
Today, Suarez leads the scorer list with a huge advantage.
Cazorla tied with Gerrard for the top spot in the assists list with 9 assists.
The third place is occupied by Lucai with 8 assists.
Arsenal alone has taken two of the top three assists spots, and is the absolute top scorer!
This shows from the side how sufficient offensive firepower Arsenal currently has.
Suarez, the goal harvester, combined with Lucky and Cazorla, the two cannonball-carrying configurations, Arsenal's central axis is simply too strong!
Bayern Munich, Guardiola's coaching staff are also analyzing Arsenal's game!
"Arsenal's central axis is already stronger than us, and we can only make a fuss on the wings!"
an assistant coach suggested.
But opposition quickly arose.
"In the last round, we just played two wide players, but Kai made Robben and Gotze completely lose their voices!"
"Kai is indeed a problem, but Robben + Ribery have a chance to break through Kai's defense!"
"We cannot base the outcome of the game on probability, we need a clear answer!"
The coaching staff was in a quarrel.
Obviously, Arsenal's win at Bayern's home court puts them under great pressure.
Guardiola also touched his shiny bald head and looked at the information in his hand.
As a world-class coach who developed Tiki-taka and single-handedly assembled the Dream Three Dynasties, he clearly understands the core of "pass and control".
Does Arsenal play a pass-and-control game?
yes! Neither!
In the past, Arsenal was definitely the leader in the passing and control system, and even had the capital to compete with Barcelona.
Both Wenger and Guardiola know very well what the core of passing and control is.
But now Arsenal is not playing pass control at all.
But it’s not a defensive counterattack either!
This feeling is very strange.
It is said that they did not play pass control, but they did firmly control the ball at their feet.
But even if they cannot control the ball, they can still rely on sweeping tactics in the midfield and backfield for defensive counterattacks.
And Wenger also started to press high!
Yes, this Arsenal team does a good job of pressing high up the pitch.
The attack speed is very fast, the timing is also very precise, and it can always form a situation where more people beat less people.
Taken together, these problems make Guardiola somewhat confused.
The current Arsenal seems to have integrated these systems, but they have digested them perfectly and run them smoothly.
Arsenal's lineup is definitely not top-notch.
Perhaps their central axis is definitely the top one in the Champions League!
But their other positions still need to be strengthened.
But Wenger was able to put such a team together and maximize their potential.
Guardiola feels that even he cannot bring Arsenal to this level.
If Wenger is given a more powerful lineup, he should be really scared!
Dongdong! !
Guardiola patted the table, and the coaching staff members who had been arguing before turned to look over.
Guardiola said: "Actually, we have no better way. Our central axis cannot compete with Arsenal, and there are only two wings that can be used. You are right, we can only continue to hope for Robben + Li Berry can do enough!"
"At least from last season's performance, Kai has limited abilities when facing Robben and Ribery alone, but when the two of them play together, Kai's defense will also have problems."
"So leave these problems to the players and let them make up for it with their performance. We can't continue to issue more advanced instructions on tactics!"
Hearing this, the members of the coaching staff showed a wry smile.
Bayern Munich has always had injury problems this season, which also prevents them from determining their main lineup immediately.
But they didn't expect that the sequelae of the rotation would break out at this point!
On the other side, Kearney training base.
Wenger was also explaining tactics.
But this tactic is familiar to the players.
It’s the 4-1-2-3 used in the away game against Bayern!
There is no need for Arsenal to change their tactics. They won the last game, which shows that this tactic is still effective.
Therefore, it is Bayern's job to solve the problem, and Arsenal only need to follow the experience of the last victory.
Of course, some details cannot be ignored.
"In the next game, we are likely to have a complete Bayern team!"
Piggy Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery are both back from injury.
This will significantly improve Bayern's lineup strength!
Wenger looked at Lucky and said: "Robben + Ribery, can you guard them?"
Other Arsenal players are also looking at Lucky, with absolute trust in their eyes.
Lucky took a slow breath and nodded seriously.
Although he still felt a little unsure, the atmosphere was so heightened that Lucai couldn't shake his head.
"very good!"
Wenger clapped his hands and said, "Have a good rest during this period. I will try to reduce the training load as much as possible. You need to adjust your physical condition to the best in a short period of time to welcome this Champions League quarter-final promotion match!"
