Super Coach

Highbury Stadium was packed, Gunners fans packed the stands, and every one of them felt the same as Wenger.

Cool!

Then I started looking forward to a big win!

One of the reasons for this result is that Liverpool's start was terrible. It really can't be worse than this.

The game had just started, Boll's whistle had just sounded, and he even had the whistle in his mouth. Liverpool made a mistake in passing the ball, Arsenal intercepted the ball and counterattacked, and Liverpool's entire defense was constantly retreating. Carragher saw Unable to stop Yuli, a foul occurred.

A yellow card and a free kick in the frontcourt!

It's not too much, and Carragher was right, because even though Hyypia was behind him at the time, once Henry took the ball and rushed, no one could stop him, so he was equivalent to using a yellow card to stop Henry from doing it alone.

But what's the result?

Pires' free kick, Vieira's header, Arsenal take the lead!

If it was just like this, it would be better. What was too much was that Vieira rushed to Yang Cheng and yelled, wantonly celebrating that they had taken the goal lead just after the opening game.

Liverpool fell behind sadly at the start!

This goal caught Liverpool a little off guard, and even Yang Cheng couldn't react.

But in the first minute, before Livers could react from the first goal, Henry shot from outside the penalty area, hitting the foot of Johnson, who was returning to defend, and folded into the Liverpool goal. Reina faced There was nothing I could do about this goal from my teammate. I could only watch Arsenal take the lead, 2:0.

Leading by 2 goals in the first minute, Arsenal fans do have reason to expect a big win.

Wenger also looked very happy on the sidelines, smiling. His face was like a blooming chrysanthemum. His brows, which had been furrowed for more than a month, were finally released. It seemed that the French also felt that they It's a sure win.

That's right, in your own home court, taking the lead in the opening minute. Is there any better advantage than this?

Unlucky Liverpool, apart from using the adjective yamen unlucky, we really don't know how to describe them. It is obvious that the accidental conceding in the first minute messed them up. Andy and Gray couldn't believe it. .

in this case,

What Liverpool should consider is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. Arsenal's offensive is too fierce!

Henry, another direct pass from Pires in the middle, Henry entered the penalty area..., Reina, great, Reina resolved Henry's single-handed ball very well this time, and he appeared in time when he was most needed. His place.”

Liverpool is in complete chaos. Yang Cheng should make adjustments as soon as possible. Otherwise, Arsenal will score more goals for Liverpool!

The Gunners fans at the scene were all shouting with joy, because they all knew that Arsenal was best at playing this kind of downwind ball. Once it was played, no one could stop it, so the opening goal was a sure win. !

What's going on? Hold on tight!

Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and shouted to Davis who was nearby, You are the most experienced veteran on the team. Stay calm and don't mess up!

Hearing Yang Cheng's shout, Davis finally regained consciousness. He immediately realized that this game would be very troublesome.

The whole scene was in chaos, and Liverpool's players were all confused. At this time, they needed to be given some buffer time.

At this moment, he saw Ashley Cole coming with the ball.

After Gilberto and Edu were both injured and absent, Wenger made adjustments, Pires returned to the center, and Ashley and Cole were pushed to the left midfielder. The Gunner's speed and endurance are very good, and He has a strong impact on the wing and goes straight forward. Wenger described him as a train.

Wenger's intention was obvious. There must be a loophole in the defense on the left, and he might not be able to defend it, especially against a very unreliable Clichy. Therefore, he simply attacked the left and let Clichy and Ashe go. Cole and Henry are both roaming this side, pressing Liverpool's right flank.

This situation became very obvious after the opening, and Liverpool was under a lot of pressure on the right.

As soon as Davis saw Ashley Cole, he immediately thought of his responsibilities when he was on the right side. He immediately rushed forward and tackled Ashley Cole with one kick. Ashson Cole was unable to dodge and was directly tackled by Davis. He fell to the ground and was secretly hit on his calf.

But only Davis and Ashpur Cole knew about this.

The Dutchman has been playing football for so many years, and has been in Serie A for so long, which relies on small movements to defend, and he understands the essence of this very well.

Ash Sun Cole rolled to the ground, Davis successfully intercepted the ball, then pretended to be innocent, looked at Ashley Cole, and immediately kicked the ball out of bounds. What a sportsmanship.

Damn it, how dare you do something dirty? Vieira was nearby. As soon as he saw Ashley, Cole fell to the ground and hugged his legs. Regardless of what was going on, he rushed up and pushed Dai Dai away. Weiss.

Davis was suddenly pushed away, and he felt unhappy. He immediately rushed forward and pushed him back. The two of them were holding their heads against each other, pushing the cow back.

But I have to say that the physical difference between the two is too big.

Hyypia rushed up from behind at this time. He didn't pay attention to anything and heard Vieira threatening Davis, I will break your legs!

Hey, bastard, if you want to fight, come at me. If you can, pick someone about the same size as you! Hyypia immediately rushed forward, pulled Davis away, and stood in front of Vieira, refusing to give an inch. .

If you were really that capable, you should be in Madrid right now, throwing the ball! After being pulled away by Hyypia, Davis responded to Vieira not to be outdone.

The Frenchman immediately became furious and pointed at Davis, I will break your legs, for sure!

I'm not afraid of you, come on kid! Davis is not inferior to him either.

The referee immediately came up and separated the two groups. Hyypia immediately complained to Boll about what he heard. Vieira immediately yelled at the side, I didn't threaten anyone!

There is nothing Bo can do about these common tricks on the court. They are both adults and strong men playing football. If you can't do it after being threatened by others, then you are a weakling. Go home quickly. Don't do it. Kicked.

In short, I'm warning you that my law enforcement will be very strict, very rigorous, and very fair in this game. If you don't have confidence in my law enforcement, then just come and give it a try. This is my advice! Bol said very much! No justice.

When the two parties heard what Bol said, they immediately dispersed.

Ashkel was still lying on the court, waiting for Bol to call a stretcher for him and to be examined by the team doctor.

Yang Cheng took advantage of this period of time to call all the players to the sidelines.

Hey, guys, what are you doing? Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

The whole Highbury stadium was completely turned upside down and if it wasn't louder, the players wouldn't hear it at all.

Have you forgotten the task I gave you? How did I tell you?

We can't let the game be led by the nose like this. They just want you to be like this. Calm down, it's just a goal. Believe me, we will definitely be able to get it back. The most important thing is to stabilize the situation first!

Yang Cheng excitedly pointed at the players and gave instructions.

I saw him patting the heads of Essien, Carrick and others vigorously, indicating that they should all wake up.

Michael... Yang Cheng pointed at Carrick, I'm very dissatisfied with your performance. Have you forgotten how to keep the rhythm? Or do you think you can let them slow down the rhythm like this? , do we have hope?”

Yang Cheng spoke quickly. After finishing speaking, before Carrick could react, he immediately turned to Gega Johnson.

Hey, kid, don't forget that own goal. I know you tried your best. If you want to atone for your sins, score one for me too!

Then he immediately turned to Drogba and immediately brought the Ivorian, Robben and Ronaldinho together.

Remember the tactics we practiced before the game. If we try it during the game, we will definitely have a chance. Do you understand?

After explaining so much in one breath, Yang Cheng immediately clapped his hands and said, Get Pires and Vieira for me!

Essien, Carrick and Davies all nodded.

Bol in the distance was already urging the game to resume, and the players immediately dispersed and returned to the court.

Although Wenger complained with blood and tears against the Liverpool players, Ashton Cole was not seriously injured at all. Davis was very measured, so soon the England full-back returned to the field, and Davis was playing for He escaped with his little actions.

But after this foul and a pause, Liverpool took the opportunity to stabilize. Therefore, when Arsenal returned to the game, they immediately discovered that Liverpool was no longer chaotic, especially in the midfield.

It has been said that Arsenal are good at playing downwind and their style of play is soft, so the two tough midfielders Davis and Essien are always keeping an eye on Vieira and Pires, because they are Arsenal's metronome. and organizers.

The direct competition between Vieira and Davis, these two explosive midfielders, made this game very explosive.

When he was at Juventus, Davis was one of the top midfielders in the world, but was later banned at Juventus. In the past two years, Vieira has become famous and has a vague reputation as the world's number one midfielder. , especially the ambiguity between him and Real Madrid this summer, which caused a lot of hype, and it seems that this reputation has been confirmed.

But Davis's performance in Liverpool this season is also very eye-catching. Although his performance on the offensive end is not as good as Gerrard, as a midfielder, Davis has made a great contribution and has performed at his peak on both offense and defense. The current state of affairs gave the two people a vague sense of competition with each other.

When Pires lost his balance and fell to the ground after being collided by Essien, he deliberately imitated Davis and secretly kicked Essien. However, the referee caught him and gave him a yellow card.

But this did not make the two teams restrained, especially after Ashwin Cole broke in along the left wing and was successfully blocked by Gega Johnson to steal the ball. However, he suddenly fell into the penalty area. Bol Clearly aware of the situation and refusing to award a penalty kick.

Arsenal began to complain around Bol, believing that the referee was biased towards Liverpool. For this reason, Bol also verbally warned many Arsenal players, indicating that they should calm down.

Here it comes again, here it comes again! Anqin Gray was a little tired, It seems that they can never get rid of the old habit of complaining. And why do you feel that the leading Arsenal players have a better temper than the Liverpool players? What's more exciting?

Yang Cheng was very calm in front of the visiting team's coaching bench. He folded his hands on his chest and watched all of this silently. But from time to time, at critical moments, he would walk to the sidelines and pour cold water on the players to keep them calm.

It is easy for Arsenal players to lose control, but Liverpool cannot do this.

As Vieira and Pires' tempers were ignited, they began to become a little anxious. However, Davis, Essien and Carrick all focused on taking care of them and restricting their performance, which made it even more difficult. Like sparks hitting the earth, the midfielders of the two teams were playing with sparks flying.

However, as a result, the organization of Arsenal's midfield became intermittent and began to become chaotic, while Liverpool sought to pass through the midfield. Once they got the ball, they rarely stayed in the midfield and handed it directly to the wing. Defender, but the real threat was Carrick's direct pass to Drogba.

With the rise of Yang Cheng, data has attracted more and more attention from head coaches. In almost every game, every head coach will have a copy of opponent player data on hand, covering all aspects. Sky TV’s OPTA Geodata Company would like to thank Yang Cheng, because it was Caesar who took the lead and caused this trend.

Wenger also has a copy of Drogba's data on hand, including his threatening shooting area, each area's shooting accuracy, threat level, his activity area, etc.

As the game progressed, Wenger discovered a very strange scene, that is, Drogba's activity area seemed to have changed.

He remembers very clearly that Drogba used to be most active in the front area of ​​​​the penalty area, because he had to use his body to carve out the enemy's defensive space and create opportunities for Gerrard to insert in the back row.

But now an obvious change is that whenever Liverpool gets the ball, Drogba always pulls out and almost always walks to the left and right of the Arsenal goal.

This is a very strange change, and the change brought about by this change is that in order to prevent Drogba from successfully getting the ball and turning around, Arsenal's central defender must follow one out. This is not all, because Drogba's side Because of Warcraft, Vieira, as the midfielder, must always pay attention to it.

After Drogbala came out, Liverpool's three journals remained more compact, the players were more connected and closer to each other, and the defense was stronger. In addition, Davis and Essien were in the midfield, making Arsenal's original The smooth passing and receiving coordination that he is good at completely failed, and he was blocked from Liverpool's hinterland time and time again.

Could it be to retreat to support the midfielder? Pat Rice analyzed.

Without Gerrard's intervention, Liverpool's midfield has one less way to communicate with the forwards and one less threat point. Drogba's retreat can fill this point to the maximum extent.

But as a result, Liverpool's frontcourt has no fulcrum, how to play?

Wenger was not naive and thought that Liverpool was overwhelmed by Arsenal and made this move because Drogba's retreat attracted the attention of at least two Arsenal players.

Looking at Robben and Ronaldinho on both sides, Wenger began to have a vague but very dangerous signal.

Let Lauren and Clichy pay attention to Robben and Cristiano on the wings. Ronaldo, let Campbell go up and hold Drogba, and Toure will help defend behind him and pay attention to protection. Wenger immediately did Out of adjustment.

This adjustment came in time, because just as Wenger made the adjustment, Liverpool immediately launched an attack.

When Liverpool successfully intercepted the ball, Drogba continued to retreat as usual. The ball quickly came to Carrick's feet. The latter dribbled the ball forward and passed directly to Drogba's feet.

The Ivorian's timing of receiving the ball was a bit wrong. As soon as he took the ball, he was forced by Campbell behind him. He couldn't turn around and had no choice but to knock the ball back to Carrick who ran out of space.

As soon as the England central midfielder got the ball, he hit an overhead kick directly past Campbell. Robben cut in from the left, almost chasing the ball.

Kolo Toure had been instructed by Wenger before and had always paid attention to the protection of this area. He predicted the ball's landing point, jumped high, headed the ball to clear the ball, and defused an attack by Liverpool.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers in the stands of the entire Highbury Stadium. It was obvious that the Gunners fans were also excited about Koji Toure's outstanding performance.

Defeating the opponent's attack is equivalent to gaining more advantages for one's own side!

Wenger also began to smile after seeing Toure's header to clear the ball.

It seems you made the right bet. Yang Cheng was going to use Drogba's retreat as a fulcrum, and Carrick's forward penetration to attack the back. This guy suddenly changed like this. It really caught people off guard! Special, Les chuckled.

If Wenger hadn't adjusted quickly and was directly beaten by Yang Cheng, Arsenal would have been really in danger.

Wenger looked at the visiting team's coaching bench, while Yang Cheng was shaking his head. He thought Yang Cheng was regretting the missed opportunity, so he smiled even more happily.

But in fact, Yang Cheng was complaining to Paul and Bayer.

Didn't you tell Carrick to coordinate with Drogba's retracement timing? It was passed too early!

Baobier smiled bitterly, I told him, I think he must be looking for opportunities, and the cooperation between him and Drogba still needs to be tried, wait and see!

Yang Cheng looked at the time. Only a few minutes had passed. There was indeed still some time.

He is not worried about the ball falling behind, but he is worried that the players will not be able to achieve the effect he wants.

Sometimes the head coach designs tactical routines based on the characteristics of the players. The key depends on how well the players actually use them on the court. Some routines that you think are powerful, but in fact, the players either fail to seize the opportunity or fail to grasp the opportunity. It was too obvious and was resolved by the other party in time.

Yang Cheng worked hard to carve out the trident of Drogba, Robben and Ronaldinho. Finally he felt that the time was right and decided to replace the shotgun with a cannon and put it to use. Of course he hopes to see the fruits of his labor. .

Turning his head to the side and seeing the smiling Wenger, Yang Cheng curled his lips and cursed in his mind, Just laugh, laugh as much as you want, you won't be able to laugh anymore after a while!
