Chapter 753 Wenger's Abacus

Wenger believes in his players, but that doesn't mean he blindly believes that his team can beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

It is one thing to believe and support on the surface, but it is another thing to think about it rationally. Wenger can say that his team can beat Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, but he does not have the courage to go to the Bernabeu.

I'm sure I'm not afraid of it, but the problem is that Wenger himself doesn't believe that this will become a reality.

He has now formulated a plan to maintain a tie in the away game. This does not mean that he will definitely give up victory. He just sets the goal within an acceptable range to avoid problems with the team's morale if it cannot be achieved.

Of course, if there is a possibility of victory, he will never give up. It's just that as a coach, unlike a player, he must stay calm at all times. At least he is an academic coach, not Mourinho.

Such a temperament coach

If he can get a draw in the away game, then he may not be unable to win a victory when he returns to the Emirates Super League. Even though he encounters Real Madrid, he still wants to advance to the quarter-finals, because many years without a championship have already caused the consequences.

Arsenal players have an inherent mentality, as if Arsenal cannot win the championship no matter how hard they try.

As long as he can advance to the semi-finals, he believes that he can arouse the fighting spirit of the players to win the championship. As long as he has the fighting spirit, he can solve the tactical matters by himself. In the final analysis, what he cares about most now is not the strength of the team.

It's not a tactical issue, it's about whether the players have the courage and fighting spirit to fight against the odds!

Now Arsenal continues to have a championship, a significant championship. Over the past ten years, although he has led Arsenal to become a pretty good team, there is no championship after all. Some people say that he is a coach without a championship.

, said that he is a coach who is not even as good as some juniors.

He is not convinced, so he wants to compete for the Champions League and League titles this season. The team is in good shape now. Although they lost to Manchester City, they are not discouraged yet. As long as they can draw with Real Madrid once in the Champions League, their morale will be high.

Just came up

After he wins the championship, he wants to see who else dares to say that Wenger is the coach without a championship!

In the consecutive years without a championship, this insensitive Arsenal needs some stimulation. If they can win the Champions League, it will be like a shot in the arm for Arsenal!

And what is stopping them from winning the championship is Real Madrid!

This stone blocking the road must be kicked away, so what Wenger has been thinking about now is how to deal with Real Madrid.

Wenger wants to kick out Real Madrid's obstacle, but are Real Madrid willing to give in?

Not to mention losing to Arsenal, even if it is a draw, Real Madrid will never be willing to accept it! A team that lost to Manchester City 0:4 dares to negotiate a draw with us? Don't forget that Manchester City is still our loser!

This is the fighting spirit of Real Madrid people and their decision!

draw?

When Lippi thinks about it, even if Arsenal scores a goal at the Bernabeu Stadium, it will be a failure!

La Liga champion Real Madrid has always been famous for its superstar policy. On the contrary, Arsenal is more famous for cultivating players.

The confrontation between these two teams is a confrontation between two operations. What Platini saw was naturally Arsenal's victory.

Because Arsenal not only plays in line with his aesthetics, but also the operation of Arsenal makes him quite satisfied.

Needless to say about Real Madrid, Platini has never been very fond of this team that spends money indiscriminately, not to mention that this team once had a coach that he hated, and now there is another one that he hates.

If a player joins, if he doesn’t hate him, he will feel sorry for himself.

Also because of different operating strategies, different football styles, and a direct competition between the older generation coaches Wenger and Lippi, this game is worth watching. The Spanish media has a lot of opinions on this game.

strong interest

The first round of the contest started at the Bernabeu Super League. This was Real Madrid playing against Arsenal at home! So objectively speaking, the right time, the right place and the right people are on Real Madrid's side. If we can't win the game, it would be a shame!

Since Lin Yu joined last season, the Bernabeu Stadium has gradually become the feared home of the Devils. The emotions of the fans were really mobilized by Lin Yu. Coupled with the influx of a large number of Devil Club fans,

This club, which was originally a bit too calm, now has the qualifications to be the Devil’s home stadium.

It is precisely because of this that everyone knows that if Real Madrid wants to advance to the semi-finals, it should use these advantages at home to cleanly defeat Arsenal, without being sloppy or causing any problems that should not occur.

If we can defeat Arsenal with a clear advantage like we did against Juventus in the quarter-finals, then maybe the second round of the game will become a lot more complicated.

Not only the media felt this way, but also within Real Madrid, so when formulating tactics, Lippi gave the order to attack quickly and let the team win quickly!

It stands to reason that Arsenal had just lost to Manchester City by a huge score in the league. The team's morale should have been hit and they would be very impatient. However, when the game actually started, the situation became a bit tricky.

The difficulty is not that Arsenal is so good, but that Wenger changed his past style and actually learned Mourinho's defensive counterattack tactics!

No one has ever thought of this situation. It stands to reason that Arsenal is a team that always advocates attack and cooperation. Wenger's style is similar to Barcelona's playing style, but today he suddenly chose to go against common sense.

tactics, that really surprised everyone.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s really difficult for Wenger. In order to win, or to draw, he will not hesitate to change his style. Even if he is laughed at by the media or the fans, he must adopt tactics that can ensure a draw.

Most coaches are afraid of being embarrassed if they do this.

Many experts once criticized Mourinho's tactics as a disgrace to the football world, lagging behind, and showing a lack of enterprising spirit.

Today, Wenger also tasted this kind of treatment, and it was even more serious than the criticism directed at Mourinho.

"Oh my god, Wenger, what are you doing? Why did you give up attacking at the beginning? Is this still the Arsenal I'm familiar with? Is this still the Wenger I'm familiar with?" a commentator who is an Arsenal supporter

, he was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He had never dreamed of this situation. He had always come to watch Arsenal’s games because of Arsenal’s technical skills and enjoyment. Otherwise, Arsenal had not won a championship in more than ten years.

, he has long disliked this team. Now that Wenger has done such a thing, he feels betrayed. He doesn’t even know how to argue with the fans of other teams.

"This is really a strange thing. Arsenal, which has always been good at offense and cooperation, actually chose a defensive counterattack tactic, and the defense is obviously stronger and the counterattack has become a by-product! Although Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium is very scary,

But Wenger doesn’t need to be afraid of this. Arsenal is a giant after all. Is it necessary to be like this? I can’t help but feel bad for Ozil. A player like him who likes to attack, what will he think in his heart now?”

"Of course, Real Madrid's Ronaldo Casillas is absolutely world-class, but other players may not be much better than Arsenal. Even Bale, who is worth nearly 100 million, is only a comparison of transfer fees.

It's just expensive, but his real strength is not as good as Ozil. Why should Wenger be afraid? Why?"

"According to common sense, shouldn't we try to score as many goals as possible in away games? But how on earth are Arsenal going to score goals without attacking? Steal them? Well, I did see Real Madrid's center back Pepe arrive.

He has moved into the central midfield position. Although he usually likes to rush forward, today it was entirely because Arsenal completely gave up attacking."

Most of the commentators don't quite understand Wenger's approach. Even those who do understand don't like Wenger's sudden change. It feels like surrendering.

The reporters in the stands also had some discussions about this, and the arguments were even more intense than the commentary.

"Wenger, Wenger, is this what you call tactics? It's so embarrassing. I misjudged you!"

This reporter probably wrote an article to speak out for Wenger before, so now he feels that he has been deceived and feels very unhappy.

"I think Wenger still cares too much about other people's opinions. Recently, haven't some media been ridiculing him for playing well and saying it's useless? If he doesn't win the championship, he is a failure. In fact, he doesn't need to care so much. A coach can cultivate so many people.

Being a star is an amazing achievement in itself.”

"Negative, really too negative. Are you going to advance with such negative tactics? I really can't believe it."

Gradually, the reporter's discussion spread to the fans

Real Madrid fans haven't expressed anything yet, but some die-hard Arsenal fans are a little bit restless.

"Professor! Please, don't give up like this without even fighting. It's not like you."

"If you are like this, what's the difference between you and Mourinho? Let's just go watch the Chelsea game."

"We like your style, Professor!"

"Ah——! I can't stand it anymore, Wenger, what are you going to do? Are you going to give up on what you insist on so soon?"

Although the coaching bench in La Liga is different from the Premier League and is a bit far from the stands, even so, Wenger still heard some unfriendly voices.

He was used to the boos and curses, and it wasn't a big deal. Anyway, Arsenal was really playing very passively on the court now, so he didn't think there was anything strange about it, so he just scolded them.

It is actually quite difficult for him to deal with it now. If he chooses to attack, what if he loses the ball? It will be difficult to come back after returning to the home court.

And he also discovered something. Now it's not a question of whether he can attack or not, but once he loses his advantage, he won't be able to attack even if he wants to. Real Madrid's offensive line is too strong, and he has to defend wholeheartedly.

, as for the attack, it can only be left to the players to fight back. Fortunately, his players are still relatively young and can still run.

As for the ridicule and humiliation made by the media commentary, he could only pretend that he had not heard it, because he could not be swayed by those things. He also liked beautiful football and offensive football. The problem is that if you want to attack, you must first let go.

Stand firm on your own first

This is the Bernabeu Super League and Real Madrid's home league. Arsenal have too many disadvantages here. If they directly attack each other, they will definitely suffer a lot. Therefore, he thinks that the initial defense is not a stupid thing.

On the contrary, I feel that this is a kind of caution, a kind of prudence

In fact, it's not like he hasn't played like this before. When he played against Dortmund, he was basically suppressed by Dortmund in the away game, but he still managed to defeat Dortmund with a counterattack. Perhaps it was because of that time that he tasted the sweetness.

, causing him to become a little addicted to defensive counterattack tactics.

Today's situation is not bad. On the surface, Arsenal is at a huge disadvantage, but in fact, Real Madrid has been attacking for more than 30 minutes, but they still haven't scored. This is the victory of defensive tactics.
