What is a destructive midfielder?

BBC Studios.

The organizers invited several Gunners legends who did not arrive at the Emirates Stadium to watch the game.

"Do you feel that the Arsenal in the 2016/17 season is any different from the previous one?"

the host asked.

Adams thought for a while and said: "These players will not wet the bed because they drink too much. Yes, I quit drinking because Wenger respects me. He is always so gentle."

"I wanted to punch him at first, but he was too gentle, so I pushed Wright, who was always late, against the wall."

"With no special means, this weak university teacher took control of the Arsenal dressing room. You know, we were in chaos at that time."

Everyone laughed.

When Wenger took over Arsenal in the early days, he faced a group of "old hooligans" who had outdated playing styles, were drunk, violent, and dirty.

The media commented at the time: A sheep wants to be the leader of a pack of wolves?

Vieira added: "The tactical styles are also very different. Wenger initially asked us to play 4-4-2, defend low and counterattack, because our overall skills cannot support long-term passing and cutting pressure."

"Except Bergkamp."

"It wasn't until the end of the European Cup in 2000 and Pires came to Arsenal that everything changed. We were able to keep our opponents in the penalty area and couldn't get out, and we often kicked out 5-0 and 6-0 massacres."

"Wenger's tactical philosophy has always evolved with the times."

"The rivals for the championship were also different. Manchester United was a red empire at that time, a dominant club in Europe!"

Pires shook his head and said: "Henry is the core. He was a waste in Serie A for a year and became a king after coming to Highbury. I think Wenger has the ability to turn decay into magic."

Henry blushed and explained: "Bergkamp's role was more obvious at that time. Let's get back to the topic. This year, the challenges faced by Arsenal are more complex and the opponents are stronger. Although the attack power and suppression power are far inferior to ours." period, but more balanced, and balance here refers to greater tactical adaptability.”

Everyone turned their attention to the Ice Prince.

Bergkamp looked grim and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "This is the value of Lee. If he can continue his terrifying strength in the Champions League, no one can stop him."

The game time has reached the 15th minute.

Player running data is inserted in the lower left corner of the big screen. Li Kang is at the bottom.

The Gunners legends fell silent.

Emirates Stadium.

The fans encouraged their players with their voices.

Manchester City attacked crazily and changed their formation to 2-3-5!

The two full-backs switched to midfield mode, always ready to respond to the two-point attack.

Single arrow - Aguero temporarily becomes a mascot, wandering in the area between the opponent's two central defenders: as a center, he misses the era of Mancini and Pergone more than the reliable era of Manchester City's rebuilding era. alternatives.

Sane and Sterling stretched the offensive width to the limit, widening the gap between Arsenal's two full-backs and the central defender.

De Bruyne and David Silva are active in the left and right ribs, providing strong suppression and always ready to send a fatal pass.

Arsenal looked dangerous but just didn't concede a goal.

Wenger had experience playing with Guardiola back then, and the strengths and weaknesses of low-post defense changed very quickly.

Li Kang looked to the sidelines from time to time to observe Guardiola's gestures.

God's perspective gradually divided the football field into 20 small grids.

District 20.

His job is simple:

Whichever direction Manchester City mainly attacks, Arsenal teammates will increase the defensive numerical advantage in that direction.

Li Kang stood in the ribs on the weak side, stifling David Silva or De Bruyne's lateral offensive transfer.

gradually.

His effective runs are getting less and less

Let’s give an intuitive example: Manchester City’s offensive passing and running changes at this stage are like a big fierce shield, squeezing the opponent hard. Arsenal’s defense is a pair of hands with nine fingers to dismantle the more violent side of the big fierce shield. The little tail finger is left to resist the squeeze of the big evil hood suddenly switching to the other side.

The middle of this big fierce hood is unbuttoned.

"Henry once said that when he was playing for Pep Guardiola, he once ignored the offensive arrangement of the coaching staff, changed positions without authorization and scored a goal. Guardiola was so angry that he was replaced not long after."

"The same goes for Manchester City in this period."

"The rotation and ambiguous roles of all players cannot be separated from the framework laid out by Guardiola."

"Oops, David Silva's diagonal pass was ruined by Li Kang again."

"Guardiola's Manchester City has been rebuilding for a season, but there is still little progress. The offensive routine is complex but fixed."

Studio.

Barrage flying.

[Is Li Mingdeng paddling? 】

-

[I heard that Paris will spend 220 million to poach Neymar, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s transfer record will be broken immediately. 】

-

[What did Guardiola rebuild? After leaving Barcelona's peak Haberbumé, he caused trouble wherever he went. After cheating Bayern and Manchester City, he is now worse than Mancini and Pergone. 】

-

[Don’t worry, reconstruction needs to be calculated in years. Manchester City fans must be patient and give Guardiola eight years to spend another 1.3 billion to 1.6 billion euros! He will definitely gain the dominance of Barcelona at its peak. 】

-

[More than a billion? Might as well poach Li Mingdeng! Solve the Triple Crown in one go. 】

[The meaning is different. What the Abu Dhabi consortium needs is not a big-name star, nor is it pursuing a temporary championship. Instead, it wants to build a real giant through Guardiola, including a youth training system, and establish a distinctive, highly ornamental and inherited football style from the bottom up. ]

-

[Superstars like Li Mingdeng who come with their own system will only disrupt the future layout and style shaping of the Blue Moon. It has nothing to do with how much money is invested. Once he joins Manchester City and leaves, will there be other players who can continue his super performance? Manchester City does not need superstars in the future, but inheritance. ]

[Guardiola's significance to Manchester City is equivalent to Cruyff and Barcelona! This is what the Abu Dhabi consortium is pursuing. ]

The 20th minute of the game.

The first two parts of Manchester City's 2-3-5 formation have been pressed to the center circle line.

Yaya Toure sent a ground diagonal pass and found De Bruyne on the right side of the 30-meter area.

The latter did not turn his head, touched the ball, and passed it to Sane who was advancing at high speed on the wing.

After receiving the ball, Sane slowed down and pretended to break into the penalty area.

Arsenal's defensive players immediately gathered over, and the entire defense line began to tilt.

At the same time.

De Bruyne retreated two steps and found a better environment for passing the ball from the ribs.

Sane also immediately passed the ball back!

"Danger!"

"The rainbow is coming!"

"The left side of the Arsenal penalty area is empty again!"

"De Bruyne kicked the ball 45 degrees from the ribs and passed it!"

With a snap.

The football left Ding Ding's right foot and drew a rainbow-like arc over the Arsenal penalty area.

The landing point was extremely ambiguous, making Cech embarrassed.

Sterling kicked the grass hard, accelerated and rushed into the penalty area, and he was about to complete a fatal blow with his forehead!

As a result,

he failed to eat the cake and hit a wall.

Li Kang easily blocked the position, and Cech fell to the ground and hugged him.

"What a pity!"

"It was an effortless positioning."

"Manchester City has a thorough understanding of the offensive space and caught the change in the number of people in Arsenal's low defense, thus playing a local advantage."

"But they happened to meet a La Masia No. 4 who has a deeper understanding of space."

"Look at Arsenal's switch attack this time!"

If Manchester City loses the ball in the autonomous offensive phase, it will not retreat like Arsenal, but will form a set of coordinated pressure to counter-grab in the local area where the ball is.

This is also one of the reasons why Guardiola plays a single defensive midfielder or does not arrange a defensive midfielder.

What a pity.

After two passes, the ball came to Li Kang's feet.

Clichy, David Silva, and Sterling quickly double-teamed and counter-grabbed.

It was impossible to grab it.

It was even impossible to successfully delay Arsenal's counterattack.

In Li Kang's field of vision, the shadow of the blue No. 21 emerged.

David Silva.

Space magician module.

Slow version of Messi.

From a God's perspective, the Guardiola-style Manchester City's 20-zone defense line division is clearly deconstructed.

Move around.

Push and pull.

Push again.

The football penetrated Manchester City's local counter-attack circle like a sharp blade!

David Silva was a little dazed, but he didn't think much, because Li Kang has always been excellent in his mind.

He didn't stare blankly, but turned back to defend quickly.

"Stylish!"

"The long-distance pass that makes light work!"

"The domineering straight line pierced Manchester City's midfield defense!"

"Giroud!"

Although Giroud is a single arrow, he runs the slowest and is in a concave position in the offensive formation.

Bellerin, Sanchez, Cazorla, and Walcott rushed forward frantically, opening up the width of the attack and forming a four-point fan!

It's time for Giroud, the old ox, to embroider!

Face the ball with your back.

Raise your left foot.

Snap!

The football took off from the ground, spun violently, and flew to the right side of Manchester City's half!

It happened to be the vacuum zone after Clichy lost his position.

"Walcott!"

"Super fast horse!"

"Leading the dust!"

"Perfect transition attack!"

Goalkeeper Caballero rushed back to the penalty area with all his strength.

Fernandio, Kompany, and Otamendi quickly shrank the defense line.

Too late.

Walcott had already dribbled the ball to the front line of the penalty area.

Decisive cross pass to the middle!

Cazorla and Sanchez formed two outflanking points!

With a snap!

The master of balance achieved it in one fell swoop.

The football lightly passed over Caballero's head and fell into the net.

1:0!!!

"The ball goes in!"

"Cazorla's exquisite lob pass!"

"Little Tiger's assist."

"Arsenal scored the first goal!"

"Guardiola's high defense has great hidden dangers. Even the mid-table team Everton can slaughter this Blue Moon 4-0!"

"Including Leicester City, which just escaped the relegation zone, it also beat Manchester City 4-2 this season."

"There are also Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Middlesbrough, Manchester United, Chelsea. We believe that Guardiola will be able to avenge the previous shame next season!"

"From the real-time standings, Manchester City will work hard to fight for the top four this season, and will qualify for the Champions League next season."

The cheers at the Emirates Stadium are getting louder and louder.

The Premier League championship is just around the corner.

The Arsenal players gathered together and hugged each other tightly.

"Lee, how did you pass the ball? Isn't my pass also very cool?"

"Compared to the previous two games against Liverpool and Tottenham, tonight is too easy!"

Li Kang smiled and did not continue to focus on Guardiola's gestures. It felt like cheating in an exam.

The joy of one side set off the sadness of the other side.

De Bruyne, who was chasing back, stomped his feet in anger.

Caballero looked helpless. He finally beat Bravo to become the main goalkeeper of Manchester City. Is he going to experience a massacre today?

That kind of feeling is more uncomfortable than being kicked by Ronaldo's penalty kick and breaking his bones.

On the side of the court.

Wenger smiled and applauded. In terms of the first-hand arrangement, he has never been crushed by Guardiola's peak dream three Barcelona in those years.

Bold was elated.

"Boss, let's brush Li's data from the next round!"

On the premise of winning the championship in advance, the coaching staff will really create opportunities for core players to brush data.

Use all the team's strength to feed the cake.

Of course, there are also overturned cars, such as Chelsea in Mourinho's second period.

Wenger thought for a moment and said, "Li might feed the data of these teammates up."

On the other side.

Guardiola scratched his bald head in confusion.

After a season of experimentation, he didn't care so much about winning or losing.

"Did you see? Li's position in the offensive phase is the full-back!"

"He will be the king of the defense!"

"Giroud's form is a midfielder who plays a connecting function, and Cazorla is a terminal point example of the midfielder's forward transformation."

"Arsenal is a pioneer in positional ambiguity."

He is a pure tactical madman during the game, and occasionally loses his temper and whips his disciples' buttocks.

Arteta's face is black.

His own coach is in a state of disorder again. He won't pull the opponent's players to talk about tactics again?

It's not that complicated.

This is just that Wenger gave the players full freedom in the transition attack.

Live broadcast room.

-

[Li Mingdeng is lazy. He doesn't even want to run. Do you still want Arsenal to erect a statue for you? (Dog head saves life)]

-

[Guardiola is doing experiments again. Manchester City has nearly 20 defensive line combinations this season. If you count the goalkeeper, there are countless variations.]

-

[Guardiola: What is the ultimate of football?]

The game resumed.

Manchester City failed to find any opportunities.

The complex offensive routines have been studied by the coaching staff of each Premier League team: without Bravo, the three major directions of cooperation around the ribs of the Blue Moon are relatively simple.

It is difficult for Guardiola to find the goalkeeper that best suits the Manchester City system.

VIP box.

Arsenal executives are very satisfied with the game situation.

"We will significantly increase the bonus ratio between players and coaching staff!"

"Who will persuade Arsene again?"

"The bank said that if Wenger leaves Arsenal, it will start the normal loan approval standards for the club."

Everyone looked at each other, as if they were poured with a basin of cold water.

The shareholders clamored for dividends.

Arsenal is in the process of modernizing the club, and the reform will cost a lot of money

BBC studio.

Bergkamp suddenly said: "Even we can erect a statue at the Emirates Stadium, why can't Wenger be qualified?"

Are there any more in the evening? Yes, yes.
