Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Wenger wore a sports cotton jacket with obvious pockets on both sides today.

So when he was upset, he successfully put both hands into his pockets, avoiding double embarrassment.

"Do we need to pull the line back a little bit?"

Arsenal assistant coach Bold on the coaching bench spoke very worriedly at this time.

This goal conceded already illustrates the failure of Arsenal's midfield defense arrangement. At least in the opening stage, this arrangement was a failure.

He felt the need to make urgent tactical adjustments.

But after Wenger took a sip of water and quickly calmed down, he rejected the assistant's suggestion.

"No, let's fight according to the original tactics!

We may not really adapt to Real Madrid's counterattack rhythm, but if we suppress our own offensive and leave enough buffering time for offensive and defensive movement in the midfield, and are not led by Real Madrid, I think the boys can stabilize the situation. .

Let Bakari (Sagna) delay first to withstand Real Madrid's left attack, and if Aaron (Ramsey) doesn't push forward too much, we will have at least two defensive interference players in front of the defense."

Wenger made his own judgment relatively quickly.

This timely on-the-spot adjustment was not easy for Wenger.

But there was no way. Facing the powerful Real Madrid and old rival Mourinho, the professor had to force himself to make bold tactical decisions.

Arsenal's players on the field quickly received tactical instructions from assistant coach Bould.

The general tactics remain unchanged, but there are targeted adjustments to the personnel's playing style. Such instructions make every Arsenal player feel a little more at ease.

This at least shows that the professor still has tactical control, and he was not slow in making on-the-spot decisions today.

If there is a way to deal with it, then you can always give it a try. The professor is still stable, so they will naturally have the confidence to continue fighting!

After Mourinho celebrated enthusiastically with Karanka, he was a little surprised when he saw Wenger next door making timely adjustments.

However, he did not feel that the professor's adjustments today could change the final outcome of the game.

At most, the process of establishing a victory for Real Madrid will become more difficult.

Shortcomings in the composition of the team cannot be easily made up for by tactical adjustments.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many coaches in football worrying about not being able to buy suitable players in every transfer window.

The game quickly resumed.

And Li Ang, who has been frequently active near the midline, also clearly understands the position changes of Arsenal players.

Sagna's inward and backward movement is to keep an eye on Ronaldo. Needless to say, this goes without saying.

The change in Ramsey's playing style is very interesting.

Originally, Ramsey could only be regarded as half a defensive midfielder. He also had to take on the important task of holding the ball and participating in the full-line attack.

But now it seems that Wenger wants Ramsey and Arteta to stick to the midfield and backcourt together.

So who will be responsible for the transfer of ball rights for Arsenal at this time?

Cazorla?

But if Cazorla frequently retreats to get the ball, then Arsenal's style of play will become pure field control.

After all, Cazorla has become the metronome. Who will be Arsenal's core passing threat?

Such a tactical change will be very effective in controlling the field and stabilizing the defense, but it will also cut itself in the offensive end.

If Rosicky was still at his peak, it would be easy for him to play as a midfielder. With him passing the threatening ball, Cazorla could make tactical sacrifices to advance the ball.

But Rosicky has long been tortured by injuries and has lost his form. Today, when facing the strangulation of Real Madrid's midfielders and backfield players, his performance can only be said to be average.

Thinking of this, Li Ang suddenly stopped thinking about pressing forward.

Arsenal's tactical change from a false double midfielder to a real double midfielder is nothing more than to deal with their midfield attack.

But what reason does Real Madrid have to rush towards Arsenal's defensive midline?

Ramsey has settled down and Cazorla has retreated. Although they are not defensive midfielders, they have put more troops into defense.

Liang and Modric are both smart people. When they see that there is no advantage to be taken, they stick to the center and fight for the ball with Arsenal.

If they couldn't grab the ball, they forced back Cazorla's advance. As soon as they grabbed the ball, the two directly chose to split sides.

You know, Real Madrid can attack in the middle, but their best offensive method is not in the middle.

Flying together on both sides is Real Madrid's best offensive method!

So what if Wenger asked Sagna to delay in advance?

Sania, who is already 30 years old, can't stay in the pit, because what he has to face is the strong attack of 28-year-old Ronaldo!

Mourinho was quite satisfied with the clever response of Leon and Modric.

Sometimes the midfielder has to be more flexible and respond flexibly to the opponent's tactical changes.

As long as the fine-tuned tactical details are still within the control of the head coach, there is actually nothing to be taboo about.

Real Madrid's main attack direction today is destined to still be Arsenal's center, but it is okay to occasionally attack the wings and pull apart Arsenal's defensive layout.

So a rather embarrassing scene for Arsenal soon appeared on the playing field.

Arsenal stuck to the center and originally wanted to control the field. However, Real Madrid also changed the direction of their attack, instead of playing in the center and playing on the wings.

Vermaelen's side is okay. He had been playing intermittently mainly due to too many injuries.

But when he is healthy, his ability is still no problem, and he does a good job of playing left back to defend Di Maria alone.

But Sanya felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

Ronaldo got almost all the offensive ball rights of the Real Madrid team in ten minutes.

Li Ang and Modric took turns passing the ball to him, helping him pull away the rest of Arsenal's defenders, creating a one-on-one opportunity for him with Sagna.

Cristiano Ronaldo's attack is not like Messi's, where he can plunge one man into a crowd with one ball and still bring it out in the end.

But his control of the ball during high-speed assaults is also top-notch in football.

You can say that the C-compass belt became stiff after a serious knee injury in 2014.

It can also be said that even at the peak of his skills, Ronaldo always likes to do some flashy dribbling movements to delay offensive opportunities.

But in terms of high-speed dribbling impact, Ronaldo, who has been in 13 years, is not bad.

Sagna thought Ronaldo would have a one-on-one static confrontation with him, but other Real Madrid players and Ronaldo didn't give him this chance.

Just rush!

Rush up to pass the ball and use your speed to hit it hard!

Sagna could barely keep up with Ronaldo's rhythm at first, but after being targeted non-stop, he still lost his position.

Then he was forced to use fouls to prevent Ronaldo from causing further damage to Arsenal's defense.

This would not be possible without a foul. Li Ang, who followed up in the middle, and Benzema, who retreated, were watching eagerly.

Arsenal didn't want to bet on Li Ang's long-range shooting ability from the top of the penalty area, and they didn't want Benzema to get the ball in that position.

If Ronaldo is willing to break through and then distribute the ball, then their defense will be too passive.

So they can only foul. Faced with Real Madrid's set-piece threat, they can only foul!

But Real Madrid's set kicks, when you don't hit them, they can only be called threats.

But after enduring it, every team that was hit could only complain with regret.

Arsenal had good luck today. When Di Maria took the first set kick from the left side of the frontcourt, Mertesacker still grabbed a point.

But four minutes later, when Cristiano Ronaldo forced Sagna to foul again on the left and gave him a set kick opportunity.

Ramos woke up everyone in Arsenal with a header from the back of the penalty area that hit the center post!

They only have one Mertesacker, but Real Madrid has a group of header players sharpening their skills.

-

Mertesacker may be able to score something in nine out of ten high ball defenses, but Arsenal cannot afford to gamble on the remaining one!

Ramsey can only help Sagna to defend.

So Arsenal's old problems were exposed to Real Madrid again.

The middle defense line was stretched wide open, and Cazorla had no choice but to retreat.

A formation of 4,231 was suddenly turned into 4,321 by Real Madrid players.

Giroud couldn't touch the ball, and Podolski had to frequently retreat into his own half to advance with the ball.

Not to mention looking for long-range shooting opportunities today, he didn't even have a few normal chances to touch the ball, but he still had some live broadcast footage.

Rosicky on the other side is now "no such person".

In this kind of high-intensity confrontation and ultra-fast pace of the game, Rosicky's current physical condition really cannot sustain it.

This gave Wenger a headache.

But when the game reaches this point, there seems to be no point in staying behind.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Wenger replaced Rosicky with the young tiger Walcott.

This is actually equivalent to wasting a substitution spot.

The Sky Sports commentator was also silent for two minutes.

He felt that Wenger's tactical preparation before the game was still too idealistic.

I want to play with Real Madrid to control the field and play with skills.

As a result, Real Madrid broke the game directly with force and rushed to the midline, which would not give you a chance to compete with your skills.

Confrontation ability, physical fitness, impact, Real Madrid's playing style is simple and rough, but Arsenal can't stop it.

Barcelona and Bayern couldn't stop them last season. This season's lineup is younger, and Dortmund, who also uses impact tactics, can't stop them either.

Arsenal's midfield defense was still too soft. As soon as Real Madrid broke away, the offensive trident faced Arsenal's back line.

It can only be said that it is difficult to resist. Mourinho still insisted on Wenger and did not give him any chance.

"Arsenal can try to play the style of football they are good at. Something will happen if they keep defending like this. 0-1 is fine now, but if the score becomes 0-2, then Real Madrid can completely shrink their formation to counterattack. , Arsenal’s situation will only become more difficult.”

Xie Hui rubbed his chin and began to give ideas to Arsenal's coaching staff in the studio.

In his opinion, instead of being led by Real Madrid, it would be better to just play the football that Arsenal is best at.

If you want to defend, you must have the capital to defend. Now Arsenal can obviously only compete with Real Madrid on the offensive end. Continuing to defend can only be a dead end.

However, Zhan Jun smiled and expressed the concerns of the Arsenal coaching staff.

"But if we let Wenger make the decision to attack now, the risk would be too great. Arsenal's coaching staff probably wants to wait until the halftime break before making major tactical adjustments."

This is not to say that Zhan Jun is excusing Arsenal's coaching staff, but that Zhan Jun deeply understands the professor's coaching shortcomings.

If you want Wenger to overturn the main tone and tactics set before the game in the first half of a game, that would be too difficult.

If Ferguson and Bielsa were sitting on Arsenal's coaching bench at this moment, then Zhan Jun believes that they would not lack the courage to give it a try.

But stick to the professor's tactics, he can be quite stubborn sometimes.

It was quite good that he was able to make substitution adjustments in the first half today. Arsenal fans actually didn't expect it.

And the fact is exactly as Zhan Jun said, Arsenal made no more adjustments after the substitution was completed.

Wenger still wants to put the main battlefield of the confrontation between the two sides in the midfield, and wants to compete with Real Madrid in terms of technical ability.

But Mourinho is also determined to play a blitzkrieg game.

Li Ang performed quite well today, using Modric's restraint to disrupt Arsenal's midfield defense.

Unexpectedly, after playing for thirty-five minutes in the first half, he seemed to have better physical fitness than Arsenal's passively defensive midfielders!

He can't run, he can't win a one-on-one confrontation, and Li Ang has excellent short passing skills when double-teamed!

Li Ang scored a goal and touched the man, and Arsenal's midfield defense was suddenly full of holes.

Arteta was quite uncomfortable playing today.

Neither Ramsey nor Cazorla can serve as a sweeping barrier for him on the defensive end.

His current position is as uncomfortable as Alonso's without Leon's protection.

Obviously he has to be responsible for organizing and dispatching, but he still has to be constantly distracted to wipe the butt of other midfield partners.

And his defensive ability is obviously not as outstanding as that of Brother Long. When faced with Real Madrid's straightforward style of play, it would be weird if he can play comfortably!

Exhausted physically and mentally, at the 38th minute of the first half, Arteta made another defensive mistake.

He failed to keep up with Modric who advanced after receiving a through pass from Li Ang. Arsenal's central defense was once again penetrated by Real Madrid!

At this moment, Ramsey, who should have been standing in front of Modric, had just put down his guard on Ronaldo and chased after him.

Arsenal fans who saw this scene just felt anxious.

There were loud exclamations in the Emirates Stadium!

But Modric's pass in front of the penalty area was not weak at all.

A pass that was close to the turf passed between the feet of Koscielny, who was pressing out to expand the defensive area, and went straight to Benzema who was advancing towards Arsenal's small penalty area!

The moment Mertesacker dropped Cristiano Ronaldo and rushed to defend, Benzema also completed an unselfish horizontal pass!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who rushed behind the goal, dunked the ball first with great enthusiasm.

After deceiving Szczesny to fall to the ground and lose his focus, he pushed the half-empty goal and scored Real Madrid's second goal of the game!

This series of pass-and-run coordination is quite beautiful!

Previously, Li Ang's through ball after attracting Arteta's defensive attention was also quite exciting.

After Modric watched the football cross the line, he raised his arms and laughed at Li Ang!

The two midfielders who instigated this offensive change hugged each other. Ronaldo, who completed the goal, also touched and hugged Benzema, who selflessly provided him with an assist.

After easily scoring two away goals, Real Madrid's players were not anxious at all.

First, they held fast and delayed the first half of the game. Then, at the beginning of the second half, they set up a half-time formation that was not expected by commentators from various countries.

Mourinho has never been so-called shameless when playing in the Champions League.

What's more, we are not playing at the Bernabeu today. We are playing away from home. After taking the lead, we should play conservatively. It is more reasonable!

The professor, who only made the decision to go on the offensive in the second half, felt extremely uncomfortable now, and the palms of his hands that were holding the coach's chair turned white!

"I knew this bastard would be conservative. He had already decided to do this in the first half! I'm so stupid, really."

Wenger suppressed the emotions churning in his chest.

Mourinho, whom he affectionately called his "old friend" at the pre-match press conference, has now become the "madman" and "bastard" he used to be in the Premier League in his heart.

The showdown between Arsenal and Real Madrid seemed to have become the London Derby of that year.

After one side gained the advantage, they set up a half-court iron barrel and defended to counterattack, while the other side kept looking for opportunities and tried to attack with difficulty.

The scene was exactly the same except that the counterattacking side did not have a big center who could suppress the attacking defensive players as a bridgehead.

Mourinho's team has a two-goal advantage, and it's in London again. This counterattack is so right!

Despite Arsenal's aggressive attack, Real Madrid's half-court defense remained unmoved.

In the 74th minute of the second half, when Di Maria received a long pass from Alonso and assisted Ronaldo to score Real Madrid's third goal, the entire Emirates Stadium was silenced!

Real Madrid was not careless. From the beginning of the game to establishing the victory, they remained vigilant against Arsenal's offense.

During this period, Arsenal actually had many threatening opportunities.

In the second half, after Walcott forced his way past Coentrao, he almost assisted Podolski to score a volley with an excellent pass!

Casillas didn't even react to the ball, but in the end the ball hit the outside of the far corner post and bounced off the baseline.

At the moment when Podolski knelt down and covered his head and angrily hammered the turf, Arsenal fans heard a crisp sound.

That was their heartbreak!

Technical football seems so fragile under the brutal impact of Real Madrid.

Arsenal’s heart is broken!

I spent a day running around with my parents' so-called "friends", looked at houses, and preliminarily decided on a location. The apartment was 130 square meters, close to 70, with a down payment of 140,000 yuan and a loan of 30 years.

Foodie, my ears are finally quiet.

It's up to the parents to decide on the decoration, so let's leave it at that.

The only thing that makes the foodie feel relieved is that he didn't ask for a penny from his parents.

Wait another month and pay the deposit. When the time comes, the foodie will lend some money to the down payment. The loan will be paid back slowly by the foodie.

The trivial matters are over, the foodie also completed the move in the afternoon and temporarily moved to live with a friend.

They started to worry about the house, which finally made me feel calmer.

Normal updates will resume tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will also start to adapt to being a mortgage lender in advance.

The social animals in small counties are also social animals.
