Chapter 655: Wembley's Wasteland

Arsenal, coached by Wenger, set a precedent for technical poverty alleviation in the Premier League. There was once a pair of Arsenal and Barcelona who were both skilled and beautiful in football.

But whether you want to admit it or not, for a long time, Arsenal's tactics were essentially defensive counterattacks, but were covered up by the gorgeous technical guise and various bravery in the midfield.

Wenger himself did not want to admit this. In his early years, he often argued with the media about the topic of "football defense and offense". His eloquence was actually what he practiced at that time.

But the debate during this period actually changed him subtly, especially the number of opponents in the Premier League is increasing, and it is no longer just Ferguson and Manchester United. Although Arsenal's performance is getting worse and worse, the offense and defense are still on the scene.

More and more balanced.

The older the world, the less courageous he is. By the end of his coaching career, Wenger also pays more attention to fame. In the Premier League world, there are generally mockery of strong teams playing against defense and counter-attack. Mourinho is born with a rebellious attitude in the media, Wenger is

I don't want to retire as the "joke coach".

Today, Arsenal's 4-4-2 opening showed Wenger's determination to confront Manchester City. Although the score was behind in the first half of the hour, Arsenal's possession rate was basically the same as Manchester City, and the scene was almost not inferior, which was rare.

However, the key figure Monreal's injury and departure made Wenger unrestrained. He was worried that the rice was leaked by Guardiola. Especially in the context of the plastic friendship scene capsized, the old man also has self-esteem and is more sensitive.

With the flag waved, Arsenal changed into a 5-3-2 formation, Chambers retreated, and Wilshere also retreated, leaving only Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan to harass him at the front.

Arsenal's tactics at this time were even more Simeone than Mourinho.

Arsenal's ball possession rate quickly shrank, which was equivalent to giving up the ball possession. But the things on the court were full of the cross-dressing logic of the extreme Yin equal to the extreme Yang. Manchester City suddenly felt that Arsenal's counterattack was getting sharper and sharper.

.

When defending, he stocks up heavy troops in the middle, and when counterattacking, he blitzkriegs on the side. Although it is simple and crude, it also means efficiency. Perhaps Wenger is not interested in it, but only if he gives up face, Arsenal is full of murderous intentions.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City lost the ball in the frontcourt's hard attack. After Bellerin counterattacked, he did not pass the midfield at all, and directly flipped the side and found the other side.

Mkhitaryan made a 45° cross and Aubameyang took off in the penalty area. If Kompani had not tried his best to return to 18, Aubameyang would have to give Ederson a solid top.

Five minutes later, this time it was Korashinac, and he stabbed Manchester City in the ribs without saying a word. Seeing that Aubameyang had already received the response, Fei Niao had to use a yellow card to stop the fat two tigers.

Korashinac's nickname is also "Fat Tiger", but compared to more authentic Casemiro, he had to be Fat Tiger.

Although he used to be nicknamed "Death", Ramsey, who is good at attacking, defending and having a good footwork, is undoubtedly one of the most underrated midfielders in European football.

Ramsey's free kick hit the ground, forcing Bravo to get the ball, only one fingertip to score.

In the 41st minute, Arsenal counterattacked again. After connecting with K6 and Bellerin, Mkhitaryan cut from the side to the corner of the penalty area, then picked Ederson's and Danilo, who was back to defend at high speed.

Saved the danger in front of the gate line.

Aubameyang fell to the ground and shot, but he kicked the ball on the sidelines. It still continued his happiness.

At 451, Manchester City's goal was finally broken.

Fat Erhu counterattacked a one-stop, and when he was about to approach the bottom line, he deducted Walker's cross. Aubameyang nodded in front and headed the ball back. Prince Wei followed up and shot at the penalty area line. The football hit Kompany's leg and then refracted.

Broken Bravo.

1:1. After Meng Lei left the court, although Arsenal was passive and suppressed by Manchester City in half, the offensive threat and conversion rate had significantly improved.

There is no best formation and style of play, only the most suitable formation and style of play. When the midfield whistle sounded, Guardiola muttered a comment.

After the comprehensive reconstruction, the Wembley Stadium has no iconic white tower and is replaced by a criticized arch cable. However, since it is still called Wembley, it still has special significance for modern football.

Tottenham is preparing to renovate its home court, and White Hart Lane has basically been pushed. Starting this season, Tottenham will temporarily borrow Wembley as home court, and there is a lot of criticism from the whole Premier League.

In the past, Wembley only held home games of the England national team, or the finals of large-scale international intercontinental matches, as well as the FA Cup finals, so it has a unique sacred status in the football world.

Later, the League Cup final was added, which was reasonable, but since the new loan was not paid, the maintenance costs remained high. Under economic pressure, Wembley has become "indiscriminate".

Relocating the traditional FA Cup semi-finals held at Villa Park Stadium and Old Trafford to Wembley has attracted a lot of criticism, and this season has become Tottenham's home court, and it has also held the United States

Three games of Olive NFL.

This is no longer betrayal, but defilement of Wembley.

Whether to tarnish or not has nothing to do with Zhuo Yang, but Wembley is now frequent games but the turf maintenance level of the stadium is far inferior to that of Premier League clubs. This is related to Zhuo Yang and Manchester City.

In fact, after the opening of the first half, Aubameyang, Aguero and Mkhitaryan had three happy football times, which were closely related to the bad venue.

After the opening of the second half, the first thing Grass helped Manchester City.

In the 49th minute, Silva was intercepted in the frontcourt and Arsenal counterattacked again.

Aubameyang used his terrifying speed and forced himself to overtake Gundogan and Otamendi on the side, blocking the middle, and Prince Wei had already thrown away Kompani.

Seeing that the single-killing momentum in the penalty area had been achieved, football always jumped mischievously before reaching the foot of Prince Wei's football, and directly killed the loneliness of the single-killing sword.

Although Prince Wei missed the opportunity to score twice and Manchester City also escaped, this extremely threatening attack shows that Arsenal's extremely simplified counterattack in the midfield of the bus in the backcourt, which is still very effective.

Wenger has been training for so many years, and Arsenal's delicateness is probably not much lower than Manchester City, which is obviously better than me to carry my car and I will stab you. Such a team is determined to fight against the counter-attack, and anyone who is lucky will be able to drink.

A pot.

Next, Wembley's poor venue made Manchester City fool again.

In the 52nd minute, when Feiniao stole Ramsey, it was also an uneven piece of turf that made him, a Brazilian, ride in an embarrassing ball cart.

A bird was split on the spot with a big hip, and then he covered his crotch and sucked the cool air.

With a thigh muscle strain, Manchester City's only full-time defensive midfielder had to leave the court.

Guardiola has been thinking about how to crack Arsenal's shameless defense, whether to continue to stimulate Wenger to make him use his own move, or Manchester City uses changes to widen the battlefield.

Feiniao left the field due to injury, which made Lao Gua make a choice. He was also his characteristic.
