Chapter 154
Christmas is approaching, and the major seasons in Europe have also reached the half-time offseason.
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, leading the entire league with a record of 11-3-1.
This state, compared to the half-dead Red Army last season, has attracted extra attention.
Followed by Arsenal.
Arsenal's state this season is in a relatively stable trend.
Clinging on to the point gap, he didn't give Liverpool any breathing time at all.
This attitude of chasing behind is the most unrelenting.
It's just that in terms of lineup, Arsenal is going through a large number of rotations.
Walcott's state is ups and downs, Vermaelen has a tendency to be injured, and the team is studying new tactics. Therefore, 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 supportive of such a change.
For Arsenal fans, what they are most afraid of is that they will remain unchanged and maintain a state of competing for the fourth.
Despite the current Arsenal's constant ups and downs, constant changes.
But this also just shows that Arsenal are constantly making changes to find the best posture.
Especially the midfield.
Arteta began to appear in a rotation state in the tenth round of the league, and more of the team's organization was borne by Cazorla and Lucky.
Two new and young core players have injected vitality into this Gunners, and at the same time increased their competitiveness.
Under the dual-core Arsenal showed an extremely high competitive state in the 15th round.
They slaughtered Cardiff Cheng 7-1.
Ushered in the biggest climax since the entire league.
And this game also completely made those voices who criticized Arsenal's "abandoning" Arteta disappear. After all, the current state of Arsenal is much better.
The new Arsenal tactics give them the feeling that they are stable!
With a solid defense, before the opponent enters his own half, he can immediately form a multi-person defensive network and intercept under the deployment of Lucky.
Even if the opponent passes by, there is still the double protection of Le Kai's single line of defense and the back line.
This makes it difficult for the opponent to break through Arsenal's defense.
On the contrary, when attacking, Arsenal's posture is much more bold and unrestrained, rushing towards the opponent's penalty area like hungry wolves.
When attacking, Lucky will not go too deep, but will protect and support more from the rear, which also provides a layer of insurance for Arsenal's offense.
But the most exciting thing is the difference in rhythm when changing offense and defense!
This is Lucky's strength!
Using the ability of foresight to assume the role of a metronome, in many cases, Lucky's sudden pass can directly change the rhythm.
From fast to slow, from slow to fast!
This rhythm difference gives the opponent a great sense of discomfort, but they have nothing to do. After all, Lucky is in the backcourt, and the pass coverage is extremely wide, and they can't limit it at all.
In the era when high-position pressing was not yet rampant in the Premier League, Arsenal's style of play made the entire Premier League extremely uncomfortable.
Faced with this change, many media said that 'Arsenal and Wenger have found the right path, and the Gunners are gradually waking up! '
In the UEFA Champions League, after six rounds of group matches, the top sixteen places have been locked.
Group A: Manchester United, 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 UEFA 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 rounds.
Home and away, one draw and one loss, Juventus with Chiellini, Bonucci, Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal and Carlos Tevez came up with extremely bad results.
In the two games, the veteran Drogba and Sneijder played amazingly, which also made many people look at the Galatasaray team differently.
In addition, the competition in Group F is even more intense.
Group F is known as the death group, but their game has shown the situation of 'two' thriving.
Dortmund and Arsenal have all handed over a 5-0-1 record in six rounds.
They only lost one game at each other's home court, and won the rest of the games!
In terms of goal difference, Borussia Dortmund leads Arsenal by 1 goal and takes the top spot in the group.
This also makes Arsenal feel extremely sorry.
If they score two more goals in the last game, they will be first in the group.
But there is no regret medicine in the world!
The second place in the group also appeared, but it was more difficult to play!
In the second place in the entire group, Arsenal became the hardest bone to crack.
Today's Arsenal is in constant change and has shown an excellent state.
In this regard, the German media "Kicker" stated:
"Arsenal has become the last opponent that a team that appears first in a Champions League group wants to face. No one wants to be told that their opponent is Arsenal after they have worked so hard to win the group."
"Compared to Manchester City's ups and downs in the group stage, Arsenal has been very stable, especially after entering February, the main players have returned from injury. This kind of Arsenal is definitely not those who aim to reach the top of Europe. The opponent the team wants to face!"
"But Arsenal are there! A team has to face him!"
"This will be an extremely exciting match. This is a hard bone! Very hard! Very hard! Even if it is crushed, the opponent will lose one or two teeth!"
Even the "London Sports News" complained about Arsenal.
"Arsenal should be in Group A! Manchester United's performance is not good. Although he appeared first in the group, he could not go far in the Champions League. Instead of this, it is better to let Arsenal advance as the first place in Group A. They get a better schedule!"
"Among the current Champions League teams in the Premier League, only Chelsea and Arsenal are sufficiently competitive."
"The era of Manchester City duo is over!"
This is also the opinion of many Premier League fans!
They do not deny the performance of Manchester City and Manchester United in the past seasons.
But in this season, the performance of the Manchester City duo is extremely bad.
Especially Manchester United, after Ferguson's departure, Moyes was unable to control the team, which led to many problems.
Compared with the Manchester City duo, Arsenal and Chelsea led by Wenger and Mourinho are truly tough.
Arsenal in the past lacked a scary point.
But now that Arsenal has ushered in Lucky's big explosion on the defensive end, no team can ignore this point.
Many times, when facing Arsenal, one has to worry about how to deal with Lucky.
After all, not being able to pass Lucky 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 City's side.
Premier League round 16, Manchester City VS Arsenal!
Facing Arsenal, which is now in full swing, how does Manchester City respond.
And whether Manchester City will still show a bad game state.
This game has also become the focus of the Premier League.
December 12, Manchester City, Manchester City Stadium.
Ah~~~~~~~~~!
More than 6 Manchester City fans at the scene made annoyed voices.
In the first half, 14 minutes.
Arsenal was intercepted by Manchester City when they attacked and launched a quick counterattack.
Yaya Toure passes the ball to David Silva.David Silva.
In this game, David Silva, who served as the front right, ushered in Lucky's marking before he could complete his turn.
Lucky put a lot of pressure on David Silva, he couldn't turn around at all.
In the process of constantly pulling the ball left and right, Lucy finally got impatient and directly pushed hard with his body, grabbing the ball from David Silva's feet arbitrarily.
This steal did not have too much technical content, it was pure force crushing, but because of this, Manchester City fans felt helpless.
Because when facing Le Kai, they really don't seem to have a good way to break through him.
The only thing to do is bypass Lucky.
But Lucky's excellent predictive ability can always come to the ball's landing point, which makes it very difficult for them to deal with!
"Following the FA Cup final last season, Manchester City once again ushered in the crazy strangling of Arsenal's midfielder!"
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 around the middle circle.
Manchester City fans booed loudly.
And when he got the ball, the boos got louder.
This affected Lucky to a certain extent, but also made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Le Kai settled down to observe the direction of the game.
At the same time, pay attention to the running position of teammates.
Cazorla passed the ball back to Lucy, and as soon as Lucy received the ball, the opponent's center Negredo rushed over and harassed Lucy.
As a rare and powerful center in football, Negredo has enough confidence in his own tonnage.
But after he entangled Le Kai, he found that he was completely unshakable.
Lucky, on the other hand, almost carried Negredo to complete the work of playing the ball.
Seeing Lucky complete the ball, Negredo shook his head helplessly.
He was very depressed.
I am a strong man of 85 kg, but I can't shake Le Kai. What kind of physical ability is this.
At the same time, he also somewhat understood Aguero's entrustment to him before the game.
'Don't fight that guy!That's just asking for trouble! '
