Coaching legend

Reyes is a rare talent in football.

Wenger also cultivated failed products. Just like Jeffers, who was introduced for 9 million pounds, is an absolute failed product.

Even so, no one denies Wenger's vision.

With Wenger's stingy style, he is willing to use the highest price in Arsenal's history to buy Reyes, which can also show Wenger's appreciation for Reyes. It can also be seen from the side that Reyes' strength and talent.

Unfortunately, even if Wenger is God, he can't know everything.

Wenger only saw Reyes' talent, but didn't see Reyes' fragile heart.

Reyes was indeed ambitious at the beginning. He wanted to complete the transformation from a star to a superstar under Wenger.

But his ambition was completely shattered by one person.

This person is not George.

This person is Ferguson. Ferguson's vision is equally vicious. When facing Arsenal, Ferguson arranged Gary Neville to mark Reyes. To be honest, Gary Neville doesn't have much advantage over Reyes.

Even Gary Neville admits this. In his new book, Neville commented on Reyes like this: He is a great player, a winger with speed and a penchant for feints. If I stay away from him and don't make a tackle, he will run past me and make me look like a fool. He has better skills and he is faster.

Yes, Reyes is far more talented than Gary Neville.

Unfortunately, the results of the confrontation between the two were different.

Gary Neville used another tactic to deal with him: You are like a boxer who makes a game plan, you have to hit hard, or run, or fight in close combat. When I want to steal the ball, I have to use my experience and sense of position. I know I have to get close to him and use a physical style of play. I have to make Reyes lose confidence. If there is any problem with Reyes, it is his character. He only stayed in England for a short time in the end. My job is to exploit his weaknesses.

This is how Gary Neville dealt with Reyes.

Tackle, physical confrontation, Gary Neville used his experience to defeat Reyes.

And another Neville, Philip Neville, also committed a crazy foul on Reyes.

This made Reyes timid in the end.

And the crazy tackles of the Neville brothers left a psychological shadow on Reyes.

All Premier League teams know Reyes' shortcomings. Reyes is very strong, but his heart is very fragile. Reyes is scared by the Premier League's defense.

Now George is just learning from Ferguson.

Maicon's sense of position is a bit bad.

But Maicon's physical fitness is very good. With outstanding explosive power, it is more than enough to deal with Reyes.

If it is just defense, Maicon will definitely not be able to defend Reyes. But it is too easy for Maicon to collide with Reyes with his body.

Maicon's brutality directly destroyed one of Arsenal's wingers.

"Reyes may be accustomed to Spanish football and not very adaptable to the Premier League." Mortensen looked at Reyes who was defended by Maicon without any temper, so he shook his head.

What is Reyes' strongest point?

Reyes' strongest point is his breakthrough, coupled with his lightning speed. Unfortunately, Reyes now gets the ball, but instead of breaking through, he just passes the ball to others. He is really afraid of being tackled. In this way, Reyes' threat has been reduced by more than half.

After Reyes wasted all the way, Blackburn's attack started.

But George did not attack blindly.

George just kept increasing running and passing in the middle. In order to mobilize Arsenal players, and then find gaps in Arsenal's defense.

Blackburn can run, Alonso, Essien, and Kaka are all in good physical condition.

But Arsenal can't run. Vieira and Fabregas both participated in the Champions League quarter-finals two days ago. Among them, Fabregas is not a player with good physical strength, so of course he is very tired when running.

No matter which player, if the physical strength is insufficient, the technical movements will be deformed.

Physical strength is something that any professional player must have.

Thirty minutes into the game, Arsenal players were already unable to run.

Thirty-four minutes later, Vieira got the ball.

"Vieira... Van Persie retreated, Vieira passed the ball... What is this?"

Vieira is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. Plus, he is only 29 years old this year, so he should be in his prime.

Passing has always been Vieira's strong point.

Unexpectedly, such an easy pass was actually a mistake. The force was too small, and it could not be passed directly to Van Persie's feet. Instead, it was grabbed by Alonso in the middle.

"Vieira's current state is really worrying. Such a simple ball, he couldn't pass it well, it didn't look like Vieira should pass it at all."

Alonso is the brain of Blackburn.

How could such a counterattack opportunity be missed? After Alonso grabbed the ball, he immediately passed it to Kaka in front.

Kaka is a powerful weapon for Blackburn's counterattack.

When Kaka got the ball, there was only Fabregas behind him. Now Fabregas is helping Vieira.

Therefore, when Kaka got the ball, Fabregas came to defend.

Unfortunately, Fabregas's speed was average and his defense was average. Kaka easily broke through Fabregas's side and rushed over with the ball.

Mexes continued to stare at Drogba, while Xigan stepped forward to defend Kaka.

Sigam is a player who is not famous. But he can be used as a substitute. Very practical.

Facing Kaka, Sigam and Mex kept a certain distance. Because once the two people are a little far away, Kaka is likely to use his speed to pass them directly.

Kaka did not continue to break through. Seeing Sigam coming out, he immediately passed the ball to Miku on the right. Then he inserted himself in.

"Miku, pass the ball... Miku passed the ball to Drogba in front."

The running of several people in the frontcourt is very tacit.

They will never run together, but run in a scattered manner, pulling Arsenal's defense.

"Drogba... pass back!"

After Drogba got the ball, he passed the ball back to Pires from the left.

Drogba and Pires are like pick-and-roll in basketball. Drogba leaned on Mex and blocked Toure who was defending Pires. Sigam in the middle was pulled by Kaka, while Ashley Cole was defending Miku.

So the moment Pires got the ball, a clear gap suddenly appeared in the middle.

"Pires, shoot!"

How could Pires miss such an opportunity?

In this position, Pires's shot has always been very threatening.

Before Kaka's rise, Pires has always been the player with the most goals in Blackburn's midfield. This is related to his shooting ability.

"Lehmann, failed to save this ball."

"Pires, Pires. He scored the first goal of the game."

"One to zero, Blackburn leads Arsenal one to zero. Now Arsenal is in trouble. Look at the Arsenal players now, they are already a little tired."

Mortensen saw it very accurately.

Arsenal players are a little tired.

When Blackburn counterattacked just now, Vieira and Ljungberg, who were very active in returning to defense before, only ran to the middle and stopped. Why? Because they really didn't have enough physical strength.

Mortensen, a commentator, saw it, not to mention George and Wenger.

Wenger was helpless.

Arsenal is not Mourinho's Chelsea. Even if Chelsea sent out the second lineup, it would still be a strong team in the Premier League. But Arsenal can't do that.

Arsenal doesn't have such a strong lineup.

Why is the treble so highly respected?

It's because of the difficulty of the treble.

Look at Arsenal now. After participating in the Champions League quarter-finals, they are so short of energy in the FA Cup semi-finals.

You can only gain if you are willing to give up.

If Arsenal wants the FA Cup and the Champions League, it may be a failure.

But at this time, George had no idea of ​​planning for Arsenal. After scoring a goal, George was unwilling to give Arsenal any chance to catch his breath.

About 35 minutes into the first half, Arsenal's energy reached a bottleneck. They must not be allowed to catch their breath. They must make a concerted effort to knock Arsenal down directly.

Therefore, after scoring a goal, Blackburn was more active.

In the opening stage, Blackburn used more passing and running. But after scoring a goal, Blackburn's attack is becoming more and more direct.

Except for one place.

That is the right side guarded by Maicon. Although Reyes is honest, George has no doubt about his strength. So Maicon's task is to continue to defend Reyes. However, although Maicon is missing, Blackburn's attack is not affected at all.

Alonso is becoming more and more active.

He frequently passes the ball forward. He cooperates well with the retreating Miku, and the passes between several people are becoming more and more frequent.

Arsenal's midfield can only retreat more and more. Vieira and Fabregas can't stop the attacks of Alonso, Miku, Kaka and others. If it was Vieira in his prime, he might be a one-man defense.

Unfortunately, Vieira's current state has declined too much.

The increase in the rhythm of the game has left Arsenal players with no chance to breathe. Their physical problems are getting more and more serious.

In fact, even if Arsenal players are physically weak, they should not show it in the first half. But it was mainly because the Arsenal players did not have a chance to catch their breath in the first half, and they were always under great pressure. That's why they felt so tired.

Many Arsenal players have already felt the heavy pace.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn got another chance. After Miku got the ball on the right, he did not break through Ashley Cole. Of course, Miku's current explosive power could not break through Ashley Cole.

Unfortunately, Cole himself was a little tired.

When Miku got the ball, he was not able to closely guard Miku. Miku seized the little gap.

Miku's footwork is outstanding, and his passing is even better. A small gap is enough for Miku to cross the ball. Miku's cross is very accurate.

Drogba overpowered Mex, jumped and headed the ball into the goal.

George clenched his fists.

Arsenal is in a bad state now. If you don't seize this God-given opportunity, you will be struck by lightning.
