My name is Colani

Chapter 699 Quarterfinals 3

Bielsa is quite willing to follow Pochettino's advice. He has made many changes for himself this season. Offensive football is still the theme, but in some important games, he will also follow the advice and let his team control the rhythm slightly.

Van Persie is in good shape. The few touches after he came on the court showed that minor injuries did not affect General Van, but with Trapani's tactical changes, it became difficult for General Van to get the ball. Arsenal is good at passing the ball, but Trapani is not much inferior to control the ball.

And in order to facilitate control, Bielsa replaced Kaka with Cazorla and did not set up the position of attacking midfielder at all. Schweinsteiger has also grown rapidly this season. Although the two are young, their organizational ability is not necessarily worse than Fabregas, and Trapani's players seem to have a higher degree of tacit understanding in their positioning. Arsenal's pressing is very fierce, but they find that their opponents seem to be too strong.

The formation is compact and the passing and cutting are smooth. If Arsenal wants to form a steal in the area, they must increase the number of people in the area, but they do not have the courage to completely press the formation to Trapani's half, so they can only helplessly let Trapani pass the ball in the backcourt and slowly advance.

Only wait for Trapani to lose the ball in the densely defended attack area, and then launch a counterattack.

Trapani's tactics are a bit rogue, but very practical. Soon Arsenal's spirit was almost exhausted. Wenger actually couldn't come up with any specific methods on the sidelines of the court. He could only stand on the sidelines like a sculpture and wait, waiting for Trapani to make a mistake.

Trapani kept changing players, and Messi left the field amid the cheers of the fans. His departure indicated that Bielsa was satisfied with the current score. From Di Maria's subsequent playing style, it can be seen that Di Maria had no intention of seeking a breakthrough at all. Instead, he kept retreating to help the midfield control. Sometimes, in order to meet him, he even returned to his own half to help pass the backcourt.

Only occasionally would he send threatening balls into the penalty area. Henry became the player on the front line and did not need to participate in defense. Vucinic replaced him on the wing and did the same thing as Di Maria.

Wenger could not say that Trapani did not attack. He would send the ball to the hinterland of Arsenal's penalty area from time to time, and two or three balls were indeed quite threatening.

He also used up his substitution quota, and the situation on the court did not improve for Arsenal. Sometimes he would feel desperate. He really did not understand how Bielsa did it. He did not know that Bielsa made his players do the most passing and running exercises all day long.

Time slowly came to the stoppage time. Trapani made two fatal mistakes at this time. Maybe his physical strength reached a limit and his running ability decreased. Maybe it was because of the two balls in hand that everyone relaxed. Van Persie took advantage of Mascherano's back pass error and got a single opportunity. However, facing such a good opportunity, General Van actually launched a shot that was slightly off the post without hesitation, wasting Arsenal's best chance of the game.

Amelia yelled. Of course, he deserves credit for this goal. His attack made General Van, who had cold feet, a little nervous. He saved Trapani's goal. You know, an away goal is completely different for this victory.

The game ended at this time. Van Persie sat on the ground and was very sad. He missed a good opportunity, a 100% good opportunity. This goal could have changed the situation of the team.

At this time, a hand reached out to him. Van Persie looked up and saw Henry smiled at him. Van Persie grabbed Henry's hand and took off.

Henry was both a teacher and a friend to him. The trajectories of these two people were very interesting. Henry and Van Persie were both left wingers and were trained to become center forwards under Wenger. After Henry left, Van Persie was recognized by the world as the successor of Arsenal's forward line, but Van Persie has not yet reached the height of Henry.

There is no comparison. Henry has always performed against the sky in Arsenal. It is hard to imagine how frustrated he was in Juventus. Arsenal may find it difficult to find a striker who can surpass him in the future.

"Robin!" Henry shouted, and then hugged Van Persie, "Don't be too sad! There is still the next round, I hope you can play better!"

"I'm fine! Thank you, captain!" Van Persie did not call Henry's name, but called the captain.

"Do you believe we can win the championship?!" Van Persie suddenly asked softly again. To be honest, today's game was a big blow to him. When Henry was there a few years ago, Trapani and Arsenal also met in the Champions League. Trapani was not that strong, but now look at this. Trapani is leading in all data. The gap is not a little bit!

"Why not! You just lack stability! I think the boss will be able to solve it, he has experience!" Henry thought about it, and what he said was more like comfort. The football world is not the same as before. Chelsea, Manchester United, and the rich Manchester City are all as fierce as wolves and tigers. It is said that Manchester City has offered Messi 100 million euros. Whether it is true or not, it is enough to show their ambition. If Arsenal and Wenger still hold on to the same ideas as before, the championship is just a foolish dream.

Hugo also came to the stadium with his son in his arms, which was rare. He hugged everyone enthusiastically, "Well done!" When he met Messi, Hugo hugged Messi off the ground like hugging a child, and Messi blushed.

"This ball can be blown for a while! Go compete for the Puskas Award!" Hugo joked.

"It's not too difficult!" Messi said shyly.

"Oh! Damn! You are too low-key!" Hugo was "shocked". Messi probably hasn't scored such a difficult goal this season!

"No, no, no, I mean that many people can do it! The right time and the right place!" Messi hurriedly explained, this is the real meaning.

"Haha, okay! Just kidding! You don't have to be so humble. If it's that easy, you won't be the Golden Ball!" Hugo laughed heartily.

"Sign!" Hugo handed Angelo to Messi.

"Ah!" Messi took Angelo. It was not the first time he hugged Angelo. Where should he sign? !

"Now I'll tell you a good news, Angelo actually remembers you! He said he's your fan and wants your autograph!" Hugo said.

"He knows me, what's so strange about that! You forgot, I hugged her many times!" Messi said contemptuously.

"Oh, is that so?! No wonder he said he knew Uncle Messi!" Hugo said.

Angelo tried to twist Messi's face, trying to get Messi to face him, and said loudly: "Uncle Messi, autograph, autograph!"

"Okay!" Messi hugged Angelo and turned around, then put Angelo on the ground, and took the signature pen from Lu Fan, and wrote his name on the back of Angelo's jersey.

"Angelo, learn a celebration from your Uncle Messi!" Lu Fan teased Angelo.

Angelo really learned Messi's celebration seriously, in a serious and serious manner, which made everyone laugh.

Reporters on the sidelines spotted Hugo. The reporter from the new sports website didn't even interview the players, but ran over to ask Hugo if he could be interviewed. Hugo hasn't appeared in public for some time. The news of having an exclusive interview with Hugo at this time would be more interesting than the game. You know, a lot of big things have happened in the football world recently. As a very influential figure in Italian football, Hugo's opinions are very eye-catching.
