Chapter 798 91 vs. Tottenham 1

Wenger's tactical style is definitely different from Bielsa's. They both advocate offense, but Wenger has more tactical diversity. He used to play 442 and later 433. Now that he has just arrived in Trapani, he can't change rashly. Maybe he can't change fundamentally because of Messi.

Messi needs to be close to the penalty area, but he can't just be a center forward. In the Italian environment, letting Messi be a center forward is undoubtedly a very bad decision. So generally speaking, Messi is more suitable to play the role of winger. Playing as a winger will make Messi too far away from the penalty area, and he is not involved in defense, which will cause great trouble to the team's offensive and defensive balance.

After Wenger took office, he still insisted on the 433 style of play for the time being, but he did not particularly emphasize high-pressure pressing. Whether in the Super Cup or in the first round against Parma, Trapani's frontcourt pressing was not as radical as Bielsa's period. Wenger understands the importance of defense better than Bielsa.

He cares more about the forward position change. He needs the forward to change positions frequently. He doesn't want to play the suppressive style of Barcelona. He hopes to have a sharp ground pass and cut attack to maximize the mobility of the frontcourt players.

Among the several forwards who can be center forwards, Suarez's position is temporarily stable. He has stronger mobility in the frontcourt. Moreover, he is no longer a newcomer to Trapani. He has some inherent advantages.

After the first round of games, Wenger is adjusting the tactical formation. Being a head coach has never been an easy job. It can be regarded as a comprehensive study. Trapani has too many people in the frontcourt. If the team wants to achieve good results, it needs to let many players know their importance and let more players get opportunities.

Trapani's lineup is a luxurious team. No matter what position the player is in, he can sit firmly in the main position in other teams. Of course, young players like Shalawi may still lack some fire in the giants.

Wenger kept experimenting in the league, Champions League, and Italian Cup. He tried 442 and 433. It was already late October. After 8 rounds of the league, Trapani had 4 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. The results were not very good. With 15 points, they were only ranked fourth. Before them were Lazio with 19 points, Inter Milan with 18 points, and Milan with 17 points. The outside world had already had great doubts about Wenger. Moreover, in the Champions League, 2 rounds of games had been completed. Trapani had one win and one draw. Among them, they were tied by Twente, the worst team in the group, away from home, which was even more annoying.

Trapani's problem was not that they didn't score, but that they always lost the ball. Including the three lines, Trapani's number of zero shutouts was zero. For Italian football, Trapani's performance was completely unqualified, and the defense was criticized. Of course, Wenger was most criticized for always letting Coleman start.

In fact, Coleman's performance was really bad. He certainly had fighting spirit and physical strength, but the key was his lack of experience, which is what people often say is that he is brave but not smart. He had no clear idea of ​​when to join and when to stand in what position, which was really disappointing.

But Wenger was very stubborn and insisted on letting Coleman be the main player, which attracted constant criticism from the outside world. Trapani's right back Maggio is actually not an unknown person on the back line. Maggio is considered Trapani's weakness, but at least Maggio was a member of the national team in the 2010 World Cup. Wenger's behavior will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the players.

The outside world openly criticized Wenger for nepotism, but there were undercurrents inside. Technical director Miku was dissatisfied with this situation. Maggio might be a little mediocre in ability, but at least he was better than Coleman, who was a rookie. Although they were both French, Miku had always supported Wenger's work since he came to the team. However, now that so much time has passed, he was particularly annoyed by Wenger's decision. He had reminded Wenger two or three times that Trapani should not be used as a test field because it was not suitable for a test field.

On the evening of October 20, Trapani welcomed the third game of the Champions League group stage, playing at home against Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur's participation in the Champions League this season is the first time in their history. The Premier League's BIG4 has never had a place for them. Tottenham and Arsenal are mortal enemies in North London, but Arsenal has basically crushed Tottenham in terms of honors. Last season, Tottenham defeated the local tycoon Manchester City at the last minute and got a place in the Champions League, breaking the monopoly of the four giants (Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool), which is quite exciting.

It is precisely because Tottenham is a novice, so whether it is the head coach Redknapp or the Tottenham players, they all keep a low profile and have a good mentality. Their performance was actually better. Against Twente and Werder Bremen, Tottenham played very exciting games, beating Twente and drawing with Werder Bremen. They won all the games they should have won, and their record was the same as Trapani. Thanks to the goal difference, they are actually in the first place.

Tottenham is a poor club. Well, to be precise, their boss is not poor at all. He is quite rich. However, their chairman Levy has always been good at budgeting and not spending money recklessly. Therefore, Tottenham's performance has always been a bit tepid. In the season before last, they even had to fight for relegation. Redknapp saved the team. Last season was a full season for Redknapp to lead Tottenham. The result was quite good, but the money was definitely rare. There were few reinforcements. Gallas, Sandro and Pletikosa were their only three signings.

In terms of transfers, they let go of many people, but they were mostly substitutes and marginal players. Overall, Tottenham was able to keep the core of last season, but it should be difficult for them to continue to make a difference in the league in the new season. Fortunately, the top management of Tottenham is not stupid. They will not tell Redknapp that "Tottenham will compete for the championship in the new season!" Such stupid words, Redknapp is not under much pressure.

Hugo, who was busy taking care of the children at home, finally appeared at the Google Stadium for the first time in the new season. He had not appeared at the Google Stadium for a long time, which made various messages appear in the outside media. The general idea was that Hugo was going to give up the team again. However, this kind of speech would not have a market. It was not the first day that Hugo was speculated. However, every time, whether it was the Trapani club executives or Hugo, they were slapping the nonsense in the face.

In the previous 8 rounds of the league, Trapani encountered weak opponents. Except for the two giants of Rome, there were no strong opponents, so Hugo did not attend. However, this Champions League match was a bit different. It was an important match that determined the trend of the group. It could not be said that one battle would decide the outcome, but at least it could gain a psychological advantage over other teams in the entire group.

And Tottenham is probably not afraid of those wearing shoes when barefoot. Trapani is stronger at home. Tottenham is completely unpopular with the outside world, so they are weak. Hugo estimated that Lao Lei would tell all the players that we really don’t need to be afraid of anything.

Such an important game, and it can be regarded as a Premier League confrontation, an alternative North London derby, the excitement makes people look forward to it, so Hugo brought Angelo here.

Just after sitting in the box, Hugo heard Miku complaining. Who was Miku complaining about? He complained about his fellow countryman Wenger.

"Arsene is so stubborn!" Miku frowned, "I hope he doesn't use Coleman in this game! That would be a mistake!"

"People will be stubborn when they get older! Joao, it's useless to complain now! When inviting Wenger, you also voted in favor, and it's useless to complain to me now!" Hugo said with a smile, and it seems that he is not affected by Trapani's unsatisfactory results at all.
