What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 253: Border pasture drives sheep, congested offensive space

The whistle blew for the second half.

Manchester United had the ball.

Rooney kicked the ball back to Carrick.

When he was young, he was fast, strong, and had explosive impact. He was nicknamed "England's Little Tank" and "Three Lions' Battering Ram".

He peaked as soon as he debuted.

British star.

How explosive is his impact?

Vieira and Makelele in the 2004 European Cup have experienced it.

A chubby boy crushed the world-class defense!

The key is that Rooney is not picky.

He can create sparks with strikers of different styles: Van Nistelrooy, Hernandez, Tevez, Van Persie

When he didn't like women, he worked very hard. He would practice more when others were on vacation, which made the security guards at the base feel distressed.

"Manchester United, who are two goals behind, are going to give up the width of the wing and strengthen the deep attack?"

"The nickname given to Rooney by the Premier League media in the past two years is: British Pirlo!"

"His transformation in recent years cannot be said to be successful. The fineness of small-scale technology is not enough, but he has a good long pass."

Rooney certainly has not reached the level of Pirlo.

But he can cooperate with Pogba and Ibrahimovic to form three unstoppable passing points in the advancement.

In the adverse situation, none of the three people stick to the ball.

They led the Manchester United formation to press forward crazily, and the younger brothers were full of fighting spirit.

Arsenal insisted on low defense and the formation retreated steadily.

Without Saul and Koke around Li Kang, it is theoretically difficult to strangle the opponent's midfield.

One person cannot stop three core players.

The one dragged behind the midfield of Arsenal is Xhaka.

Is Xhaka bad?

No.

But the style is different.

Xhaka is more suitable for positional defense: squatting and responsible for his own area.

You can't make him run like a young Atletico player.

He can't run.

He also has to consider Maguire and Mustafi behind him.

These two central defenders have a strong desire to move forward.

He wants to play as a center forward.

Mourinho's face is grim.

He holds a brand new unopened mineral water bottle in his hand.

It's in good shape.

He can't accept losing to Wenger's team by a large score.

In the remaining 45 minutes, they must fight to the death.

Arsenal's defense is not that strong, and it can definitely be broken!

On the other side.

Bould said: "Boss, I suggest that Lee and Walcott should be replaced around 60 minutes, and we should play six defenders."

Wenger shook his head and rejected the proposal:

"Even if Lee is walking on the field, he is a deterrent."

The deconstruction from the perspective of God is complete.

Li Kang gestured: Let Xhaka and Maguire squat well.

He ran to Rooney.

That was the easiest passing point in Manchester United's attacking group.

Rooney didn't know why, but in recent years, his ability to pass the ball to both sides during the advancement process was very different: the pass to the right was a god, and the pass to the left was a ghost.

At the same time.

Walcott also understood the signal given by Li Kang.

He immediately abandoned the entanglement task and started to move forward along the side.

Manchester United full-back Brand, who was about to participate in the attack, hesitated: Rooney this season can no longer replace Martial's interception role on the side.

"Rooney received Pogba's oblique pass on the left rib."

"Manchester United's attack did not form a crowd in the middle, and the effect of strengthening the depth advancement was very significant."

"Lingard and Luke Shaw crossed and pulled on the right side and the right rib."

"Arsenal's defense is a little chaotic."

Ibrahimovic stood on the right side of the penalty area again and raised his right hand high.

He is a center forward who makes his teammates play very comfortably.

As long as Rooney plays at his normal level and sends a lob pass to the right from the left rib, he can

Snap.

The ball is lost.

Ibrahimovic put his hand down helplessly and saw Arsenal's No. 10 blocking the fat man through the dense crowd.

Rooney was a little annoyed.

He was about to send a fatal pass, but was destroyed by this kid Li.

If he was seven or eight years younger and didn't eat so much fast food, how could he be afraid of such intense pressing.

"It was a close call."

"Arsenal almost launched a counterattack."

"Herrera made a timely advance and controlled the ball."

"Manchester United started to organize the attack again."

This episode did not affect the morale of Manchester United teammates.

The passionate team song echoed over Old Trafford.

The Red Devils fans were tenacious, they had long forgotten the fear brought by the 200 million man, and enthusiastically encouraged the players on the field.

"Glory, glory, Man United!"

Time passed quickly.

The score still did not change.

The audience gradually discovered a strange phenomenon.

Rooney's effect on improving Manchester United's deep attack disappeared without a trace.

The fat man is being driven away by Arsenal's No. 10.

It's driven away.

Not marked.

It's not a steal.

Manchester United's central space is getting more and more crowded.

Rooney was forced by Li Kang to squeeze to the middle to receive the ball.

Ibrahimovic had no choice but to pull to the side.

Pogba filled the position near the left rib.

The situation seems to have returned to the Van Gaal era, the scene that the opposing coach likes to see the most: 'Rooney, who has no ability to take the ball with his back, is like a wall, cutting off the connection with his teammates in the frontcourt. '

In this way.

Xhaka, Maguire and Mustafi are the masters of the game, and they are at home in their respective defensive areas.

The opponent has no space.

It's almost hard to eat them on the front.

"Blinder rarely appeared on camera during this time."

"He didn't dare to press too deep and participate in the attack. After Martial came off the field, he left too many gaps in the wing defense."

"You have to be careful about Walcott's counterattack threat."

Studio.

-

[Li Mingdeng is not guarding Rooney, he is just letting Rooney return to his original style of play. 】

-

[Shepherd dogs drive sheep, which is the essence of defensive driving. 】

-

[When Rooney was a shadow striker for Van Persie, he could score more than 30 goals in 40 games. 】

-

[Forget it, my ability to seize opportunities that season was so poor that my teammates risked their lives to feed me. 】

-

[His small-scale skills are a bit weak, and he cannot support long-term cooperation with Ibrahimovic and Pogba in short passes, and the coaching team will not tilt their tactics towards him. 】

-

[The key is that his ability to hold the ball behind his back is too weak, and he only eats cake. 】

-

[Rooney is not that bad, he has many advantages. Every star has flaws, but Manchester United was the one who was best bullied by Li Mingdeng. 】

Rooney really isn't that bad.

It's just that Mrs. Li in front of him makes him uncomfortable.

Force but not grab.

Only blocking his own pass to the right.

If he distributes the ball to the left under interference: the weak passing quality will put a heavy burden on his teammates, and he almost loses the ball several times.

The only way Manchester United can threaten Arsenal's goal is long-range shots.

Cech looked at Li Kang's running back in the distance and felt extremely relaxed.

The tank-cap goalkeeper didn't even have to direct Maguire and Mustafi's positioning. Arsenal's low defense was forced into a super trap by Li Kang.

The football was either blocked from the baseline or bounced out of bounds.

Courtside.

Assistant coach Faria said in a solemn tone: "How could the situation become like this? Even if Rooney fills in Martial's original position normally."

"Then we will lose worse."

Mourinho crushed the mineral water bottle again.

Arsenal's No. 10 on the field is incredible. How did he find a way to deal with it in a short period of time?

If it were any other team, even Guardiola would have been beaten by his own move.

The second half of the game.

Mourinho's backhand was easily restrained by Li Kang's backhand.

He turned to look at the bench.

Mkhitaryan is still injured.

Forget it Mata, the ball is too slow and more suitable for Van Gaal's tactics.

Time passes.

Unchanged score.

It wears down the patience of Manchester United's coaching staff.

The other side.

Wenger sat back on the coaching bench early, his face full of joy.

He hasn't had it so easy at Old Trafford for a long time.

Regardless of the outcome, there is no need to complain to the fourth official.

Even the referee on the green field - Atkinson has become a little cute.

Bold said: "Boss, Manchester United now has eight players participating in the attack across half-time! My suggestion is to replace Morata and Walcott, and replace Mertesacker and Koscielny. "

The words are not finished yet.

Changes occurred suddenly on the green field.

It wasn't Rooney who was off the hook.

To be honest, Xiaopang is not that bad.

It was Pogba who was impulsive.

How could the young and energetic French nigga tolerate his performance at the club being inferior to Arsenal's No. 10!

The bigger the players, the faster they will lose energy on the court.

Mourinho does not arrange strength training in his usual training.

If it drags on any longer, Manchester United will only lose.

He ran in and out of the left rib cage, shook off Xhaka, and caught Herrera's pass.

Continue to explore the bottom line.

An emergency stop and the ball was lobbed to the right!

Unfortunately, Bellerin interfered before passing the ball.

The ball speed is a bit slow.

Arsenal's penalty area.

Maguire and Mustafi leap high.

Boom!

I don’t know which head successfully rescued the siege.

The football was bounced upfield.

Cazorla's prediction of the landing point was accurate.

He headed the ball ahead of Carrick.

"Towards the middle."

"Li Kang's movement is very essential."

"Manchester United is very dangerous right now."

"The defense on the left side is empty."

"oops!"

There were sighs at Old Trafford.

Li Kang did not stop the ball. Under Rooney's interference, he raised his left foot.

Snapped!

Accompanied by a crisp sound of touching the ball.

Walcott, who had been waiting for a long time, started to start.

He is Li Kang's bright star on the wing.

In an instant.

Mourinho's face was ashen.

Theo Walcott and Bale were contemporaries in the Southampton youth academy.

How fast is he?

You have to ask Bell.

The camera moves at high speed.

Arsenal launched a violent counterattack in the frontcourt.

Morata and Sanchez ran away.

The offensive width opened up by the two made Smalling and Bailly very passive.

‘Can’t lose position. ’

'Maintaining the last line of defense'

Mourinho's teachings echoed in Bailly's mind.

pity.

One defense and two simplicity.

Defending two against three is difficult.

In the counterattack, with one more offensive player, the selectivity of passing is exponentially multiplied.

Li Kang couldn't run.

I can't run away even after eating a banana.

Torres module and Ronaldo module have great physical load and energy consumption.

Maybe even if I train up to 99 points of physical attribute, I can't use it many times in 90 minutes.

I have been driving the fat boy like a wild boar in the position defense.

A little tired.

England does not have the heroic achievements of the Iberian Peninsula.

He finally understood why the K-style coach likes to use short players in the frontcourt when playing high-pressure pressing.

A midfielder with a height of 1.86 meters running wildly.

A midfielder with a height of 1.68 meters running wildly.

The physical energy consumption of the two is not the same.

For adolescent players with a faster development speed, physical planning in different time periods of the game is a big problem.

Modern football has developed to this day.

It seems that only peak Spain and peak Italy can maintain long-term static offense and defense.

De Gea calmly directs the position selection of his defensive teammates.

There is no figure of Li.

It's not a big problem.

"Walcott brought the ball to the Manchester United penalty area and slowed down."

"Bailey was very calm this time and didn't rush to grab the ball easily."

"The ball was passed horizontally to Morata's feet."

"Pass it to Sanchez again."

"It's back to Morata's feet again."

"Why don't you shoot yet?"

"Manchester United players will soon return to their positions."

There were bursts of exclamations from the stands behind the goal.

The ball was passed back and forth between the feet of three Arsenal players.

The hearts of the Red Devils fans were pulled up.

The Gunners fans were so anxious.

Bang!

Sanchez made a fierce shot from the left side of the penalty area.

The ball whizzed towards the upper right corner of the goal.

De Gea's slender figure stretched in the air, and his white and gold gloves easily resolved the danger.

Everything was under control.

"Amazing save!"

"Oops! It didn't clear far enough!"

"Morata!"

"Header!"

On the right side of the penalty area.

Bailey and Morata jumped at the same time.

There was no suspense in the header.

How can a T1-level central defender compete with a T0-level big head?

The football fell lightly into Manchester United's net.

0:3! ! !

A small number of Manchester United fans stood up on the spot, angrily scolded and left the field.

Arsenal fans were immersed in joy.

They were always beaten, but they could still win by three goals?

"No suspense!"

"At the end of the game, Morata killed the game with a header!"

"Manchester United had the advantage but couldn't score."

"Arsenal, under the command of Li Kang, easily resisted the opponent's wave after wave of attacks."

"Wenger has to make substitutions!"

"Koscielny and Mertesacker stood on the sidelines."

"Old routine."

"After Arsenal led by three goals, they should give back to the audience with beautiful football."

Live broadcast room.

-

[Mora's header can really break through De Gea's five fingers. 】

-

[Manchester United is as fierce as a tiger, but when they see the score, they can play beautiful football.]

-

[Why can Koscielny and Mertesacker play beautiful football?]

-

[The central defenders have different styles. They are both capable of individual players. Now they are on the field to complete the harvest, harvesting the exhausted Manchester United offensive players, and then let Cazorla move forward to assist Leo.]

-

[In the Champions League next week, M4K6 can start in full form again!]

-

[The principle that Wenger believes in: utilitarian football will lose neutral audiences, and beautiful football will earn more from broadcasting.]

-

[Arsenal is really awesome this season, just do it.]

The game resumed quickly.

It was completely opposite to what the fans predicted.

Mertesacker and Koscielny failed to limit Ibrahimovic and Pogba who tried to save face.

The effect of head-on confrontation is not much better than Maguire and Mustafi.

The head-on confrontation in a small space is even a few points worse.

But the two have strong individual combat capabilities, do not rely on the system, and do not need protection.

Beautiful football still set off a storm at Old Trafford.

With a three-goal advantage, Li Kang and Cazorla no longer stick to defense. The two cooperated tacitly and repeatedly launched a mercury-like passing and cutting attack.

Amidst waves of cheers.

The refreshing attack brought the fourth round of the Premier League to an end.

De Gea gradually doubted his life in the high and low blocks.

Beep! Beep~

Finally.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Arsenal defeated two strong teams in the Premier League big6 and won four consecutive league victories!
