Strong Waist

Christmas is approaching, and the major European seasons have also reached the half-time off-season.

Of course, there is no winter break in the Premier League, and they still need to continue fighting.

In the Premier League, Liverpool is still showing a terrifying state, with a record of 11-3-1 disdain for the entire league.

This state, compared to the half-dead Red Army last season, has attracted special attention.

Next is Arsenal.

Arsenal's form this season is in a more stable trend.

Biting the point gap, it didn't give Liverpool any time to breathe.

This stance of chasing behind is the most irresistible.

It's just that in terms of lineup, Arsenal are going through a large rotation.

Walcott's state is ups and downs, Vermaelen has a tendency to get injured, and the team is researching new tactics, so although it seems to be stable, it is constantly taking out new things and trying to put them into it.

Of course, Arsenal fans are showing support for such a change.

For Arsenal fans, what they fear most is to remain the same and keep fighting for the fourth place.

Despite the constant ups and downs of the current Arsenal, constant change.

But this also just shows that Arsenal are constantly making changes and finding the best posture.

Especially in midfield.

Arteta began to rotate in the tenth round of the league, and Cazorla and Lekai took on more of the team's organization.

Two new and young core players have injected energy into the Gunners, while also increasing their competitiveness.

Under the dual core, Arsenal showed a very high competitive state in the 15th round.

They slaughtered Cardiff 7-1.

Ushered in the biggest climax since the entire league.

And this game has completely eliminated the voices who criticized Arsenal for abandoning Arteta. After all, the current state of Arsenal is much better.

The new Arsenal tactics give them a sense of stability!

A solid defense, before the opponent enters their own half, can immediately form a multi-person defensive network under the deployment of Lucky to intercept.

Even if the opponent crosses over, there is still Lekai's single line of defense and double-layer protection of the back line.

This makes it difficult for the opponent to break through Arsenal's defense.

On the other hand, when attacking, Arsenal's attitude is much more unrestrained, rushing towards the opponent's penalty area like a hungry wolf.

When attacking, Le Kai no longer went too deep, but more protected and supported from the rear, which also provided a layer of insurance for Arsenal's offense. But the most exciting thing is the poor rhythm when changing offense and defense!

This is Lucky's strength!

Using the ability to foresee the role of the metronome, in many cases, Lekai's sudden pass can directly change the rhythm.

From fast to slow, from slow to fast!

This difference in rhythm gives opponents a great sense of discomfort, but they have nothing to do. After all, Le Kai is in the backcourt, and the pass coverage is extremely wide, so they can't limit it at all.

In the era when high-level pressing has not yet been rampant in the Premier League, Arsenal's play makes the entire Premier League extremely uncomfortable.

Faced with this change, many media have said that Arsenal and Wenger have found the right path, and the Gunners are gradually waking up! ’

In the Champions League, after six rounds of group matches, the top 16 places have been locked.

Group A: Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen.

Group B: Real Madrid, Galatasaray.

Group C: Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos.

Group D: Bayern Munich, Manchester City.

Group E: Chelsea, Schalke 04.

Group F: Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal.

Group G: Atletico Madrid, Zenit.

Group H: Barcelona, ​​AC Milan.

Throughout the Champions League group stage, Group B had a big upset.

Juventus lost to the Turkish Super League team Galatasaray and missed the Champions League knockout.

Home and away games, one draw and one loss, Juventus, with Chiellini, Bonucci, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal and Tevez, produced extremely bad results.

In the two games, veteran Drogba and Sneijder played amazingly, which also made many people look at Galatasaray with different eyes.

In addition, the competition in Group F is more intense.

Group F has been hailed as the group of death, but their games have shown two thriving situations.

Dortmund and Arsenal have a 5-0-1 record in all six rounds.

They only lost one game each at each other's home ground, and they won the rest of the game!

In terms of goal difference, Dortmund leads Arsenal by 1 goal to win the group.

This also makes Arsenal feel very sorry.

If they score two more goals in the last game, they are first in the group.

But there is no regret medicine in the world!

The second in the group also appeared, but it was more difficult to play! In the second place in the whole group, Arsenal has become the most difficult piece of bone.

Today's Arsenal is in constant change and has shown a very good state.

In this regard, the German media "Kicker" said:

"Arsenal has become the last opponent of a team that comes first in the Champions League group. No one wants to be told that their opponent is Arsenal after they have worked so hard to get first in the group."

"Compared to Manchester City's ups and downs in the group stage, Arsenal has been very stable, especially since February, when the main players have returned from injury, such Arsenal are definitely not those who aim to reach the top of Europe. The opponent the team wants to meet!"

"But Arsenal is there! There has to be a team against him!"

"This is going to be an extremely exciting match. It's a hard bone! It's hard! It's hard! Even if it is bitten, the opponent will lose a tooth or two!"

More "London Sports Daily" for Arsenal grievances.

"Arsenal should be in Group A! Manchester United didn't do well, despite coming first in the group, he couldn't get far in the Champions League. Rather than that, it would be better for Arsenal to qualify as the top of Group A, which would make the They get a better schedule!"

"Among the current Premier League teams in the Champions League, Chelsea and Arsenal are competitive enough."

"The era of the Manchester City duo is over!"

This is also the view of many Premier League fans!

They do not deny the performance of Manchester City and Manchester United in previous seasons.

But in this season, the Manchester City duo's performance is extremely bad.

Manchester United in particular, after the departure of Ferguson, Moyes was unable to control the team, causing many problems.

Compared with the Manchester City duo, Arsenal and Chelsea led by Wenger and Mourinho are really tough.

There is one scary point that Arsenal have lacked in the past.

But now that Arsenal have ushered in Le Kai's explosion on the defensive end, no team can ignore this point.

Many times, facing Arsenal, you have to worry about how to deal with the problem of Lucky.

After all, not being able to pass Lekai means not being able to score a goal.

Arsenal's wall has become a problem for many teams.

And now the conundrum has come to Manchester City's side.

Premier League round 16, Manchester City VS Arsenal!

In the face of Arsenal's current momentum, how should Manchester City deal with it?

And whether Manchester City will show a bad game.

This game has also become the focus of the Premier League.

December 14, Manchester City, Manchester City Stadium.

Ah~~~~~~~~~! More than 60,000 Manchester City fans at the scene made an annoyed voice.

The first half, 14 minutes.

Arsenal were attacked by Manchester City and launched a quick counter-attack.

Yaya Toure delivers the ball to David Silva.

In this game, David Silva, who was in front of the right, had not yet completed his turn and ushered in Le Kai's marking.

Lucky put a lot of pressure on David Silva, and he couldn't turn around at all.

In the process of constantly pulling the ball left and right, Le Kai finally became impatient, and pushed directly against his body, arrogantly grabbing the ball from David Silva's feet.

This steal does not have too much technical component, it is a pure force crushing, but because of this, Manchester City fans feel helpless.

Because when facing Lucky, they didn't seem to have a good way to break through him.

The only thing that can be done is to bypass Lucky.

But Lucky's excellent pre-judgment ability can always come to where the ball falls, which makes it difficult for them!

"After last season's FA Cup final, Manchester City once again ushered in the crazy strangulation of the Arsenal midfield!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head and said: "Obviously so far, Manchester City still can't find a way to break through Kai."

Lucky wandered in the middle circle.

The Manchester City fans booed loudly.

And when he got the ball, the boos were even louder.

This affected Lucky to a certain extent, and at the same time made him feel a little unhappy.

Lucky sinks his heart to observe the direction of the game.

At the same time pay attention to the movement of teammates.

Cazorla passed the ball back to Lucky. Just after Lucky received the ball, the opposing center Negredo rushed over to harass Lucky.

As a rare power center in football, Negredo has enough confidence in his tonnage.

But after he wrapped up with Lucky, he found himself completely unshakable.

On the other hand, Lucky almost carried Negredo on his shoulders to finish the ball.

Seeing Lucky finish the ball, Negredo shook his head helplessly.

He was extremely depressed.

He was an 85kg strong man who couldn't shake Lucky. What kind of physical ability was this?

At the same time, he also somewhat understands Aguero's entrustment to him before the game.

‘Don’t fight with that guy! That's just making trouble for yourself! ’
