There is a dream called football

Manchester United has a trident, Arsenal has a trident, and CSKA Moscow also has its own trident, which is the Brazilians Levi and Carvalho and the Russian Zhirkov.

Wenger discovered that Carvalho signed up to play forward, but in fact he was more like an attacking midfielder, lurking behind Levi, while Zhirkov often rushed forward, which was strange.

It can only be said that it was the tactical arrangement of the CSKA coach, otherwise there is no other explanation.

However, Wenger is not worried about this, because so far, the opponent has not shown particularly strong short passing ability.

CSKA's football style is rough, which is compared to Arsenal's. In fact, their style of football is also delicate. After all, any team that can reach the top 32 of the Champions League is not a weak team.

Therefore, several of Carvalho's exquisite points were still very exciting, but the field conditions also affected CSKA's offense.

The head coach was yelling on the sidelines. Wenger couldn't understand what he was shouting. It was probably in Russian, but it looked like it was probably a tactical adjustment.

Wenger guessed correctly. In fact, the opponent was shouting long shot, long shot.

In the ice and snow, a long-range shot might create a miracle. It's hard to say, so CSKA's head coach asked for a long-range shot.

But long-range shots don't just happen, because Arsenal's defense in front of the penalty area is also good, especially the front of the penalty area, which does not allow people to take long-range shots at will.

Flamini's control of this point is very good, but CSKA has formed a consensus, so there will definitely be opportunities for long-range shots.

Soon, CSKA played on the wing again, and Zhirkov broke through here. Just when everyone thought that CSKA would pass the curve ball again, Zhirkov suddenly passed the ball back to the penalty area in an inverted triangle.

.

Carvalho made a slight adjustment in front of the penalty area. The Brazilian's long-range shot also had technical content. He used the arch of his foot to curve the ball and lobbed the ball into the far corner of the goal. This was not the kind of hitting the ball with the instep, so for

The grasp of the ball direction is more accurate.

But the force will be smaller, it depends on the angle.

The tall goalkeeper is still accurate in saving this kind of ball, but this is a snowy day, and both his vision and Lehmann's reaction ability are affected, which can even have a big impact.

Fortunately, Lehmann was very stable this time. After jumping up, he dragged the ball over the crossbar with one palm.

The goal didn't go in, but CSKA's offense was finally able to hit, and their head coach also applauded vigorously.

In fact, the most important thing about offense is to be effective. Just like many teams in the Premier League emphasize shooting, you must shoot.

Why?

It's very simple. If an attack results in a shot, then it is basically 90% successful. However, if an attack does not result in a shot, it will be very frustrating.

This is why fans feel so frustrated when they watch Spain in the 2018 World Cup. Their passing and ball control are still top-notch, but they just can't shoot. This is very uncomfortable for fans.

Subsequently, Bosnia and Herzegovina's strongman Rashmic got a chance to shoot in front of the penalty area. He was completely different from Carvalho. Instead of playing clever tricks, he simply used his instep to swipe the ball roughly.

The momentum is strong and sinking.

The ball was like a cannonball. Fortunately, the angle of the ball was not tricky, so Lehmann hit the ball with both fists.

After completing the save, Lehmann himself was shocked. It was really dangerous. If the ball was a little bit deflected, he would not be able to save it at all.

"No." Wenger thought in his mind.

At the beginning, Wenger could allow the opponent to launch a fierce attack on him, but that was okay. After all, the opponent's attack was actually not a threat. It could pass the ball, but it could not result in a shot. Therefore, the more ineffective attacks the better, which would embarrass the opponent himself.

But it's different now. Once the opponent finds a way to shoot, the offense will be effective, so Wenger starts to worry.

"Keep the ball."

Wenger asked Arsenal to strengthen their possession of the ball and not allow their opponents to control the ball unscrupulously.

In this way, Li Qiao controls the ball on the right side.

Li Qiao's ability to control the ball is very strong. He attracted the attention of three defensive players. This situation already has a feeling of fighting spirit.

In other words, Li Qiao has already angered his opponent, and Li Qiao must also pay attention to protecting himself to avoid being kicked.

This critical point is very close. Anyone who has watched a football match knows that a fight may end in a foul.

But at this moment, Li Qiao suddenly knocked his heel. This was a completely blind pass. Li Qiao just trusted that Rosicky would be around him.

So football is like war. On the battlefield, your life is given to your comrades, and the same is true on the field.

Li Qiao turned around and saw that Rosicky was indeed there. He saw the Czech running forward with the ball at high speed, and Arsenal had already formed an offensive trend.

"hateful."

The opponent's head coach felt that Arsenal was a little bit too rogue, and it was really incredible that they could attack every opportunity.

Wenger was full of expectations. This goal depended on Rosicky's pass. Both forwards could pass it, but Rosicky finally chose to trust Henry.

With a through ball, Henry stepped forward with his right foot, but it was a snowy day, so Henry's touch with the ball was just a little too big, and the ball went wide.

Henry feels very sorry, and at the same time, it is the Arsenal team that feels very sorry. The opportunity of this goal is too good, but...

Henry has no choice. It is true that it is more difficult to control the ball in the snow. If it were not like this, then once the ball passes, he can immediately lift his foot and volley.

There was no goal in this attack, but it was a knock on the wall. CSKA understood that Arsenal was not Hamburg. Even if they had only 30% possession of the ball, they could form a counterattack in an instant.

Henry, Li Qiao, Rosicky and Cesc Fabregas are still a bit too thieves. CSKA's head coach's face is colder than the weather. It seems that he is careless. It was the first two games that made him proud. He really thought he was

It can arm-wrestle with the top European players, but now it seems that it is actually still far behind.

In the rest of the first half, both sides' offenses were much restrained, but the snow was still heavy. At this time, the referee was already judging whether the game could continue.

According to the rules, if the snow is really heavy, the game can be terminated, and this possibility is becoming more and more likely at this time.

But for the players on both sides, of course they don’t want to fight another day. No one wants to play such a difficult game again. Even if they are crawling, they hope to finish the game today.

The weather seemed to be unfavorable, and Wenger began to worry. Now the sideline could no longer be seen clearly. At the end of the first half, Wenger first went to the referee and asked about the weather situation. UEFA would have more detailed information.
