Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy Fourth Inexperienced Small Method
Although the incident of being punished by Ferdinand distracted a certain degree of attention, the battle between Notts County and Arsenal came as scheduled. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
"From the perspective of the state of the two teams, Notts County, which has been fully rested, is undoubtedly better, but Arsenal have more experience to deal with difficult schedules, and the two teams are roughly equal in strength. Come on, it's really hard to say who can win!"
In a football talk show with high ratings, the guests talked freely with the host, and the topics were naturally all about the battle of the British Championship.
"Arsenal's biggest advantage is playing at home. Perhaps this is an important factor that can affect the outcome of the game, but for the two teams that have not been defeated so far, the home and away games seem to have little impact."
"The focus of the game is the battle for the midfield. Whoever can control the midfield will be able to take the initiative. The main theme of the battle between Vieira and Keane has now changed, and it has become the midfielder led by Vieira and the The tit-for-tat between the Ibaraki midfielders."
"For Arsenal, the bad news is that the defensive midfielder of the team, the Brazilian star Gilberto Silva missed this game due to a sullen injury, and the Gunners' midfield defensive intensity has dropped by more than one grade. Naturally, it is already at a disadvantage, so I am very optimistic that Notts County can seize the initiative!"
"The giants can never be underestimated, and Notts County's top spot in England is not due to luck, so this battle between dragons and tigers must be fierce and passionate. As for who will win, it is difficult for us to predict, but it is very big. The possibility is that the two sides are tied, which is also a result that both sides can barely accept!"
Although there is not much theoretical support for the views of the guests, I don't know why, many fans also have the same view, that the two sides may be tied.
At the pre-match press conference, Loew and Wenger didn't want to confront the reporters directly, so they avoided the key points when they spoke, as if the draw was really the result they both wanted to see.
But when it comes to the game, it's completely different!
Arsenal, who are at home, don't pay attention to modesty and courtesy. In the face of a villain like Notts County, the gunmen directly picked up their weapons and started charging. From the first minute, they showed a life-and-death momentum.
And Notts County will not be afraid, and also faced the offensive of Arsenal.
Arsenal's formation did not surprise everyone, because there are not many talents really available on the Arsenal bench. The only thing that makes everyone feel incredible is that,
Wenger actually let the 17-year-old Cesc Fabregas replace Bergkamp as the team's attacking midfielder.
The young Spanish teenager was brought back by Arsene Wenger from the Barcelona youth training camp La Masia at the beginning of the season. Because he was unhappy in La Masia, Cesc Fabregas chose to join the Gunners. Wenger promised to train him as much as possible. he.
Maybe now everyone is just surprised by his talent, but they don't think how much he will achieve in the future. Only David knows how far this talented genius will grow.
Well, David has to admit that he is greedy again, but thinking of those little demons in the youth training camp, there is not much regret.
Because Gilberto Silva is absent, Wenger can only arrange Edu to replace him as a defensive midfielder to start for Vieira, while Ljungberg's position is replaced by Wenger's French compatriot Wiltord.
On the Notts County side, the 433 lineup dispatched today is obviously going to be a reckless fight with Arsenal in the midfield.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides did not make any tentative moves, and they fought directly with real swords and guns. In the midfield competition, it was extremely fierce.
Vieira is the No. 1 defensive midfielder in the UK and even the No. 1 defensive midfielder in the world. Naturally, his strength does not need to be mentioned. Whether offensive or defensive, he can play an extremely important role.
But the problem is, today his partner has become Edu, a teammate who is obviously inferior The waist is obviously a little powerless. Algorithm Bregas often retreats to help them, but it is also difficult to really fight against Notts County's midfielder.
The most important task that Loew gave to Marco was to limit Cesc Fabregas. In his opinion, the 17-year-old youngster is obviously a weak link in Arsenal's field. As long as he is limited, the Gunners will There is no stable ball in the frontcourt, even if the attack can only be back and forth in the middle and backcourt most of the time, not threatening the goal of Notts County.
Sure enough, Vieira did not dare to go too far most of the time because he had to take into account his own defense. He could only rely on Cesc Fabregas to pass the ball to the two flanks and feed Henry. Under the tight defense of Nuo, the still young Fabregas seemed to be invisible, which directly lowered Arsenal's offensive threat by several grades.
When it was Notts County's turn to attack, Deco and Alonso, the two major midfielders, organized the midfield in an orderly manner, and they were able to schedule passes with ease. Without Gilberto Silva's sweeping interception, they could easily The ball hit the threatening position through the half but threatened Arsenal's goal.
Don't look at the ball possession rate of the two teams is almost the same, but the actual offensive threat is obviously that Notts County is better, but Arsenal's defense is also very tight, and did not give Villa a good chance to shoot.
This situation is within Loew's expectations. After all, Arsenal's overall strength is there, and they are definitely the strongest opponent Notts County has encountered at present. Even if the lineup is slightly incomplete, it is not easy to defeat, so promise Ibaraki also needs to be more patient.
After ten minutes of the first half, Notts County's offensive gradually became fierce. In fact, it was because of Arsenal's poor control in the midfield that Notts County had a more direct opportunity to face the goal.
Wenger did not expect the situation to be so embarrassing. Cesc Fabregas, who had high hopes for him, had a hard time holding the ball without support, and his inexperience was exposed, which directly led to Arsenal's slump on the offensive end.
However, it is impossible for him to take Cesc Fabregas directly at this time, so the blow to young players is too great. He does not want to see a talented young player die in his own hands.
In order to change the unfavorable situation, Wenger can only make the midfield line retreat more than ten meters, so that he can be more closely integrated with the back line and protect the penalty area. As for the midfield competition, he knows that Notts County has won. . (To be continued.)
