Super Coach

Text] 419 Premier League Two Beasts

----------

As Yang Cheng warned Xiao Luo, this is a world full of imperfections.

Therefore, on the football field, there can never be a perfect team or a perfect set of tactics. The key lies in how to cover up all the shortcomings in a football match and then improve the performance. The advantages are unlimited amplification.

In this game, Yang Cheng decided to bet!

Liverpool's advantages are the speed and impact of Robben and Drogba, as well as the pulling and running of the frontcourt players, coupled with the physical fitness and offensive and defensive strength of the midfielders, which makes Liverpool always win when they press forward. Able to play simple and crude offense that is frightening.

In terms of adjusting the coach's offense, Yang Cheng is definitely the best head coach in today's football, and even one of them can be left out.

But Liverpool's shortcoming is control and lack of rhythm.

Yang Cheng's tactics in this game were very clear. Attack from the beginning, so that Arsenal had to defend. He used an almost unreasonable attack to completely attack Arsenal, strive to score first, and tilt the game in Liverpool's favor. .

This is a very risky tactic, and Benitez is opposed to it, because everyone knows that once Arsenal survives this period of time and survives Liverpool's strongest offensive period, what awaits Liverpool will be Arsenal's counterattack.

With declining physical fitness, unfavorable offense, and lack of control of the scene, Liverpool is likely to be directly defeated by Arsenal and directly create a big score, just like when they beat Chelsea in the first round.

According to the Spaniard's opinion, it is best to defend and counterattack. First stabilize the defense and then plan to counterattack. This may be difficult to win, but at least it can ensure that the risk is minimized.

But Yang Cheng decided to gamble.

La, football matches sometimes require not only rational analysis and consideration, but also other factors, such as momentum. My team can lose, and it can lose miserably, but absolutely I can’t lose my momentum, I can’t lose my confidence. Even if I have to lose, I have to lose so that all the players can straighten their chests and walk out of Anfield.”

Therefore, when everyone felt that Liverpool should adopt more conservative tactics, Yang Cheng suddenly attacked aggressively and risked everything in a desperate attack.

The first half was a whirlwind,

A complete break in the second half has become the most obvious sign of Liverpool this season.

Everyone in the stands was very happy to watch, and it was very enjoyable. Everyone saw Liverpool taking the initiative to attack, and Arsenal was forced to switch to defense.

Kill those smashers, come on Liverpool!!

Come on, kill them, kill them!!

Goals! We want to see goals!! More and more goals!!!

The players in the stands were shouting happily, and below the stands, the Liverpool players in the stadium were also attacking fiercely.

…………

…………

Didier, what is your greatest strength?

In Drogba's mind, the question from Yang Cheng's first conversation with him came to mind.

Physical? Heading? Speed? Endurance? Yang Cheng shook his head, No, none of them. In my opinion, your greatest advantage is your diligence and hard work. Sooner or later, your physical fitness will weaken as you age. But your diligence and hard work can keep you progressing under any circumstances.”

You have an outstanding body. You must know how to make good use of them. You cannot rely too much on them, but you must use them well to make them a nightmare for defenders around the world.

In the game, you have to run more, pull more, and impact more. Try to wear down the opponent's defenders as much as possible and make them exhausted. At that time, they will be at your mercy!

Drogba kept Yang Cheng's words firmly in mind.

As a player, he is very aware of his strengths and weaknesses. Taking the ball behind his back is his strength, but attacking from the front is his weakness. Therefore, Yang Cheng specifically asked him to develop his ability to turn around with the ball, but this takes time. So before that, if he wants to gain a foothold in the Premier League and a top team like Liverpool, he must put in more effort and sweat than others.

He knows very well that he will never be the kind of top star who shines, but he can become the team's most indispensable forward, and this is exactly the role Yang Cheng wants him to play.

So he was running the whole game, supporting his teammates, running back and forth, causing Arsenal's defense to shift accordingly. The two central defenders Campbell and Toure not only had to pay attention to him at all times, They still have to stick to him, and from time to time they have to engage in direct physical confrontation. This consumes a lot of their physical energy and is also a test of their concentration.

And as long as one is not paying attention, just like this time...

When Riise dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Robben, the Dutchman singled out Laurent on the left. Since Robben had gone straight back to kill Lauren in the previous one-on-ones, this time Wei Wei Ella retreated to help defend against the attack.

But Robben didn't stick to the ball this time. Faced with Lauren and Vieira's attack, he chose to knock the ball back.

After taking the ball, Davis took a few steps forward. He seemed to have no intention of passing the ball at the front of the penalty area.

In the tactical arrangement before the game, Wenger emphasized that when defending, beware of Liverpool's back-row attack. Both Davis and Gerrard have excellent long-range scoring ability, so he asked the defensive players to guard against Liverpool's back-row attack. When two players get the ball at the front of the penalty area, one of them must stick to it.

Kolo Toure did not hesitate and went directly out of the penalty area, blocking the space between Davis and the ball.

But as soon as he came out, before he reached Davis, he saw a row of dazzling white teeth exposed on the dark face of this Dutch wild boar. Toure tried to block the ball sideways, but suddenly he blocked it behind him.

The whole process sounds long, but actually happens in a blink of an eye.

Drogba had already made a fool of himself after Toure came out. He almost immediately used his speed to run diagonally from the right side of the penalty spot to the left side.

Campbell couldn't match the Ivorian's speed, especially Drogba's explosiveness. He suddenly got ahead of the England central defender, but Campbell was also chasing closely.

Davis' pass came to Drogba, and he saw the Ivorian making an emergency stop after receiving the ball. Campbell, who was catching up behind him, couldn't hold back and was thrown away. As soon as he adjusted, he moved horizontally and used his right foot. A chōushè.

Goalkeeper Lehmann was also deceived into shifting his center of gravity to the left. Drogba suddenly moved to the right. He had no time to make adjustments and watched helplessly as this not-so-subtle kick penetrated Arsenal's ball. mén.

Wow haha, if you move again, if you can, move another 20 meters, and I will still hit the ball in!

After Drogba scored, he proudly rushed past Campbell, clenched his right fist, and shouted excitedly. He was obviously using this move to retaliate for Campbell's blow to him just now.

I saw the Ivorian rushing to the sidelines and excitedly clenching his fists at the Liverpool players in the stands in celebration.

Behind him, Liverpool players have rushed forward one by one.

In the 26th minute, Liverpool, which had been unable to attack for a long time, finally broke through Arsenal's goal. This was a goal from Drogba!

Toure was a little too confident and was seduced by Davis into losing his position, which resulted in Drogba playing a gap.

From this goal, we saw a typical Yang Cheng-style running cooperation. Davis took the ball and attracted Toure forward. Drogba directly scored behind Toure. The whole process was a matter of course. As for what happened later When Drogba passed Campbell, all we can say is, is this still the big Ivorian guy?

Andy Gray laughed, I didn't expect that he could have such a delicate side. Campbell was depressed and was pushed away by Drogba, and he even missed a goal!

…………

…………

When Drogba scored, Yang Cheng clenched his fists happily, turned around and high-fived Benitez, Paul Bayer and others.

Beautiful! He felt that the moment Drogba shook off Campbell was indeed very beautiful.

Maybe Drogba doesn't have a strong sense of smell, but his technique is actually not bad.

I'm telling you, Arsenal's defense can't stop our attack at all. If you don't believe it, just watch! Yang Cheng looked at Benitez with a smile.

The Spaniard had a wry smile on his face. He had to admit that Yang Cheng had made the right bet again.

It’s not that he made a right bet in every game. In fact, Yang Cheng also lost and drew. He made mistakes in these games, especially the one where he lost to Charlton, the lifeblood of Liverpool. You were caught firmly, and the opponent used defense to support Liverpool's offense. After that, when your physical energy is almost exhausted, you will be finished with a counterattack.

Losing in that kind of game was very depressing, and Yang Cheng couldn't do anything about it, because the flaws were obvious.

Therefore, the key to test Yang Cheng's coaching resilience is whether his team can defeat the opponent before his own physical strength is exhausted.

This is why Andy Gray said that Liverpool's offense is a whirlwind!

Ready to defend? Paul Beyer asked.

Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head, No, no, no, Paul, you are too conservative!

Everyone laughed immediately, this hún turned around, one goal made him look like that, he was too nouveau riche.

If we defend now, Wenger will definitely counterattack. There is still so long in the game. If we can't defend, we will continue to strengthen the attack! Yang Cheng analyzed the situation on the court between the enemy and us.

Best, score him a few more goals! I guess this is what he wants to see most.

Then, Yang Cheng brought some paper and pen, and quickly wrote down three instructions.

Toure will definitely have a shadow in his heart when he makes a mistake, and this player is quite reckless. Focus on hitting him at this point, pull him out more, and hit him from behind! This is the note from Yang Cheng to Drogba.

Move forward, support Drogba, and play behind Toure! This is for Davis.

Pull out Toure in the middle and cut in from the ribs! This is for Robben.

The three notes were quickly spread to the court, and the players were immediately informed of Yang Cheng's latest request.

…………

…………

When Drogba scored, Wenger's whole heart was gripped. He clenched his fists tightly and stared straight at the group of guys wearing red jerseys on the court with eyes like knife.

Arsenal have remained unbeaten in 7 games so far this season. This is Wenger's best start in the Premier League. This is simply a dream start. It also makes Wenger ambitious, and what is even more rare is that this Arsenal team Na played controlled and gorgeous football that had never been seen in the Premier League, earning applause and cheers from the fans.

All professionals know very well that in the Premier League, the control of rhythm determines the strength of a team, and Wenger's team is very offensive and plays the most gorgeous control football. This is also Indirectly covering up some of its own problems.

He has never been able to find the most suitable candidate for the defense, especially the central defender combination.

When encountering other teams, this problem may be downplayed by relying on the strong control of the midfield and frontcourt, but when encountering Manchester United or an unreasonable team like Liverpool, it will be clearly highlighted.

Both Campbell and Keown are quite old, especially Keown. Although he has rich experience, Wenger is ready to let him retreat to the second line this season, but Toure, Senderos and Sigan are not the kind of people who can impress people. A reliable central defender, Toure has great potential, but his career is short. He only started receiving professional football training in 2000 and lacks experience.

But unfortunately, the position of center back requires the most experience.

What to do now? Patrice stepped forward and asked.

Wenger's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he said word for word: Let them use all means to control the rhythm for me!

Even now, he still has not given up the pursuit of rhythm. In fact, this is also a very correct idea, because facing Liverpool, who lacks rhythm control, as long as Arsenal controls the rhythm, they will be finished.

Warn Toure, let him be careful and don't leave his position easily! Before Patrice left, Wenger added another sentence. He always had a headache with his central defender combination, but he did not get better. A more suitable candidate.

Patrice immediately conveyed this to the court.

…………

…………

Arsenal wanted to stabilize the situation, slow down the tempo, and then control it, but Liverpool worked together as a team to speed up the tempo as much as possible through passing and fighting in the midfield and frontcourt.

After Arsenal restarted the ball, Liverpool started a scramble and were forced to move the ball back. The midfielder couldn't control it at all. When the ball came to the backcourt, there was a disturbance and he immediately passed the ball forward with a big kick. lost.

Wenger was so angry on the sidelines that he wanted to curse, but there was nothing he could do.

Liverpool now has two beasts, one is Drogba in the front, the Cote d'Ivoire monster, and the other is Davis in the midfield, the Dutch wild boar. The former is responsible for harassing the defense, and the latter is responsible for harassing the midfield. The two guys have become opponents. The most troublesome character.

Last week, Taipei gave the two of them a nickname, the Premier League Beasts!

It should be said that Liverpool were too quick and didn't play well, making many mistakes in passing and receiving. But it's obvious that Arsenal was even worse. They were stretched by Liverpool's pace and couldn't play the smooth offensive coordination they are good at. .”

Andy Gray smiled bitterly. He recently heard a Chinese proverb, a scholar meets a soldier!

Arsenal, a gentle scholar, met Liverpool, an unreasonable soldier. It was really speechless!

Another obvious problem is that after Arsenal usually controls the rhythm, the midfield attack is always unhurried. The purpose is to take advantage of the midfielder to control the ball and organize through the midfield. But now, This problem was exploited by Liverpool. Neither Vieira nor Gilberto actively fought in the midfield, allowing Liverpool to adjust smoothly in the midfield.

Perhaps, at this time, Wenger should consider changing the game and let Liverpool go faster, stabilize the defense first, and wait until Liverpool slows down, then he can press hard. Maybe this will be more effective.

When talking about this, Andy Gray saw it again. Drogba made a fuss about Toure. After leaning on Toure with his body, he knocked back to Gerrard who was in the back row. Gerrard was in the penalty area. The forward shot was blocked by Campbell.

Also, Toure's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. In this kind of game, his shortcomings were clearly understood by Yang Cheng. Why didn't Wenger consider the more experienced Keown?

Wenger knows his own suffering. With Keown, in a fast pace, his death may not be worse.

Just when Andy Gray looked at the time, it was already 37 minutes, and when the game was likely to start to become dull, Liverpool suddenly launched an offensive.

After Kuyt and Gerrard intercepted the ball from Pires on the right, the Dutch and Gerrard cooperated. After Gerrard got the ball on the right side of the penalty area, he saw DeRoro Barra was outside the penalty area.

Kolo Toure followed Drogba closely, and the two were in a stalemate at the front of the penalty area.

After a slight adjustment, Gerrard made a pass and passed it over Drogba's head.

Drogba had to suppress Toure regardless of his height, position, or judgment. After judging the ball, he firmly blocked Toure behind him and leaned over to rub the ball.

The ball was rubbed by Drogba's head, passed directly over Toure behind him, and fell behind Toure.

Only then did everyone realize that there was nothing behind Toure, and Campbell was still on the right, guarding Gerrard and Kuyt.

A fiery red figure came from the left rib area of ​​the penalty area at high speed, as fast as the wind, throwing away Lauren and passing Toure. After stopping the ball with his head, he saw Lehmann attacking and deftly used his left hand. He picked the ball over the attacking Lehmann, then chased it, pushed it, and penetrated Arsenal's goal again.

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! Andy Gray exclaimed.

Liverpool scored another victory. Drogba's header flew over, and Robben deftly picked Lehmann from the left rib, scoring Liverpool's second goal of the game. This was almost a penalty for Arsenal. A death penalty goal!”

In the 37th minute of the first half, Liverpool scored another victory, 2:0!

Arsenal is in danger. Their 7-game unbeaten run has covered up too many of their problems, so much so that Wenger has never taken a good look at the deficiencies of the centre-backs. Now Liverpool's two consecutive goals are aimed at the deficiencies of the centre-backs. Fighting, especially Kolo Toure, is too fragile.

Wenger should really think carefully about how they are going to play in the second half!

With Arsenal's offensive strength and Liverpool's fast-paced play throughout the first half, it is not impossible for Arsenal to reverse their opponents in the second half, but the problem is that Wenger has to stabilize his defense first!

Two consecutive goals sent the fans in the stands of Anfield Stadium into a frenzy, so much so that they started cheering and celebrating excitedly, as if they had won this game in advance.

Only Yang Cheng was calm.

The real test has just begun now!
