Chapter 535 Senderos! (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)
Emirates Stadium.
The second-placed Arsenal in the Premier League played at home against Aston Villa, who was third in the league.
The big screen in the stadium displayed the starting lineups of both sides.
The commentator is also commenting on the lineups of both sides of the game.
Aston Villa lineup:
Goalkeeper: 31-Robert Enke;
Defensive line: 24 - Cuellar, 6 - Senderos, 15 - Davis, 3 - Wilfred Bauma;
Midfielder: 5-Clement, 8-Milner, 19-Petrov;
Forwards: 10-Deisler, 25-Diego Costa, 27-Gareth Bell;
Aston Villa has changed a lot in this game. At the left-back position, the experienced Dutch veteran Wilfred Bouma returned to the starting lineup.
Milner returned to the midfield position to form a three midfielder with Clement and Petrov.
On the front line, Fang Jue made the biggest adjustment. In this game, he sent an unconventional three-forward lineup of Deisler, Bale and Diego Costa.
In fact, Deisler and Bell's bilateral forwards are matched with Diego Costa's center forward configuration.
Aston Villa's starting lineup surprised the commentators, it was almost a big change.
Facing Arsenal in the away game, there was a sudden change, which either received a miraculous effect or was self-defeating.
...
Arsenal starting lineup:
Goalkeeper: Almunia
Defenders: Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy;
Avant-garde: Cesc Fabregas, Song, Denilson;
Forwards: Van Persie, Bendtner, Arshavin;
Compared with Aston Villa's on-the-spot changes, Arsenal's side has a fairly stable starting configuration recently.
The recent state of the Arsenal is good, and the team has not had any major injuries, except for Walcott's absence due to injury. It can be said that in today's game, Wenger has formed the strongest lineup he can.
After the game started, Wenger sat on the coach seat, and he has been thinking about Aston Villa's starting lineup today.
Gareth Bale and Sebastian Deisler appeared up front.
There are three players in the midfield: Clement, Milner and Petrov.
Of the first two, one is a pure defensive player, and the other is also an engineer-type player.
Petrov is also good at fighting.
Such a midfielder has the hardness of fighting.
However, creativity is lacking.
It can be said that, in Wenger's view, Aston Villa's offensive power in the midfield today is lower than before.
Wenger's conclusion is that Fang Jue's change is more about defending and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
To put it bluntly, is it the old routine of setting up a bus to engage in defensive counterattacks?
...
Wenger smiled. If the young Chinese coach thinks he can take advantage of Arsenal with this trick, he will regret it.
Wenger's greatest confidence lies in Arsenal's offense.
Arsenal is currently the team with the most goals in the Premier League.
In this game, Wenger's tactic for the team was to score as many goals as possible and destroy Aston Villa with goals.
The camera caught Wenger smiling.
"Wenger said before the game that Arsenal are on the way to the championship." Lineker said, "Obviously, he is very confident that Arsenal will win the championship. John, Tony, what do you think?"
Tony Parker is famously blown by Arsene Wenger, and he naturally supports Arsenal.
He even cited several reasons why Arsenal won the championship.
One is that Cesc Fabregas is in good shape this season.
Tony Parker says that as long as Cesc Fabregas stays fit, then Arsenal have enough chance to beat any opponent.
"In the current Premier League, is there a better passer than him? Is there a better midfielder? No!" Tony Parker said.
The second reason is that Arsenal have Wenger.
In the active Premier League, only one person can win against Ferguson.
In addition, Wenger led the team to eliminate Ancelotti's AC Milan.
In this regard, John. Mortensen put forward different views.
"Not convincing." Mortensen shook his head, "Ancelotti also beat Ferguson, and Ferguson also beat Wenger."
Lineker said he is relatively optimistic about Arsenal.
His reasoning was more straightforward, Arsenal were in better shape.
In the last round of the league, Manchester United suffered a disastrous defeat at the feet of Fulham, and Chelsea were tied by West Ham United.
Only Arsenal have been in good form recently and their results have been stable.
The Aston Villa fans in front of the TV were a little depressed.
Several commentators seemed to have forgotten about Aston Villa, and only focused on discussing Arsenal's prospects for winning the championship.
"unacceptable!"
"Hey, hey! We are now on the same score as Arsenal!"
"Let's talk after we win!" Some fans shouted angrily.
...
Fang Jue sat quietly in his seat, staring at the arena.
Arsenal just tried to play an attack.
However, in the end, when Denilson tried to hit the wall with Van Persie, Senderos rushed up early and destroyed the football.
Fang Jue nodded in satisfaction, applauding Senderos' prediction and attack.
On the other side, Wenger shook his head regretfully, as Arsenal just made consecutive passes.
Fabregas picks a pass, Song responds and then divides the ball. Sagna and Denilson hit the wall to cooperate.
Then, Sagna returned to the middle.
Arshavin missed the ball.
Denilson tried to play with Van Persie.
All pass.
Very nice continuous fit.
It's a pity that the last pass didn't succeed.
In addition, Senderos' outstanding performance made Wenger unavoidably sour.
He was almost half sold and half given away in the summer, disposing of Senderos for a million pounds.
Of course, what Wenger thought was that Senderos was finally dealt with without completely smashing his hands.
He never dreamed that Senderos, who had been judged to be "abolished" by him and many others, would be reborn from Nirvana in Fang Jue's hands.
It can be said that every time he sees the praise of Senderos in the media, Wenger feels sour and annoyed.
Now, Senderos has returned to the Emirates Stadium as an opponent player, and has an excellent state and performance, which is the most direct stimulus to Wenger.
Without Senderos' timely prediction, Arsenal's attack would have been completed this time!
Wenger was both annoyed and regretful.
At the same time, it is not without a trace of surprise and relief, after all, this is a disciple he has been very optimistic about and carefully cultivated.
It's mixed emotions.
There is still time, Wenger told himself.
Wenger is not in a hurry, he has confidence in his team.
...
Fang Jue showed a smile, and he was relieved to see Arsenal playing so meticulously and beautifully.
Well, Arsenal should be commended for the beautiful football they play.
However, in Fang Jue's view, Wenger's team pursued beauty too much.
Sometimes simpler is better.
Take this time as an example, Sarnia left open space on the wing, but did not choose to pass directly from the bottom, but passed back to the middle, trying to continue to seek cooperation in the middle...
With such a one-second delay, Aston Villa's defense has stood firm.
Fang Jue shook his head.
Aston Villa's excellent record this season under their young, handsome and talented champion coach has proved to everyone:
Goals in quick counterattacks are the most effective and valuable.
...
Wenger feels his team is in good shape.
He expects this Arsenal goal to come soon.
But soon, the professor's expression became serious.
He was surprised to find that after a relatively good performance in the opening period.
Especially after Arsenal's beautiful passing and cutting cooperation was finally blocked, it was difficult for Arsenal to pose a threat to Aston Villa's goal.
Not only that, but the rhythm of the game on the field was gradually controlled by Aston Villa.
Aston Villa fought hard today.
Tough physical confrontation.
Fierce and decisive shovel.
The scene of people turning their backs on their backs has appeared many times.
Although Wenger protested angrily on the sidelines many times, he believed that the Aston Villa players should be given cards.
However, the on-duty referee Halsey didn't think so, at most he just verbally warned the Aston Villa players a sentence or two.
Fang Jue showed a smug smile.
How could he not consider the referee factor in the fierce fighting tactics he tailored for Arsenal.
In fact, the day before the start of the game, he hadn't finally made up his mind to use this lethal tactic. Anyway, the team still had a second plan to deal with it.
He is waiting.
Finally, the English Football Association announced the list of referees for this focus battle.
The referee is Halsey.
This referee is loose on the whistle and has a high tolerance for fights and fouls in the game.
Fang Jue couldn't help sighing that a handsome and talented person is just lucky.
...
In the 21st minute of the game, the goal appeared.
It was Aston Villa who scored.
A very clean and crisp attack from Aston Villa.
After Deisler's in-cut shot from the side was blocked, Petrov quickly split the side, and Aston Villa launched a second attack.
Gareth Bale made a cross from the left.
Under the marking of Gallas, Diego Costa first squeezed the old French defender away forcefully, and then kicked the football into the goal with his left foot in a slightly awkward movement, almost half-turned.
After the goal appeared, the Birmingham TV commentator couldn't help shouting: "Costa! A violent shot! He showed Arsenal what is called violent aesthetics!"
After scoring the goal, Diego Costa ran to the sidelines and made the gesture of kissing the team logo on the jersey.
This action obviously pleases the fans, and the fans in the stands shouted excitedly.
The Aston Villa fans in front of the TV are also very happy.
Wenger wanted to curse.
The professor realized he had been duped, because Aston Villa's bus was simply a 'fake bus'.
Aston Villa's real tactic today is one word: grab!
Specifically, high pressing.
The most direct benefit of Clement and Milner's midfield partnership is that Aston Villa's defense line is advanced.
As long as Arsenal enters Aston Villa's half, they will encounter Aston Villa's crazy siege.
Fang Jue's intention is very direct, which is to make Arsenal unable to calmly organize.
The ultimate goal is to prevent the Gunners from playing a small range of cooperation in front of Aston Villa's penalty area.
And these two points are where Arsenal's biggest advantages lie.
It can be said that Fang Jue's tactics are extremely targeted.
It was tailor-made for Arsenal.
And the goal just now was a quick counterattack by Aston Villa after a successful press in the midfield.
Wenger frowned, and Aston Villa, who was good at playing defensive counterattacks, took the lead in the score. This was a situation he wanted to avoid before the game...
...
Fang Jue got up from his seat and applauded.
He is very satisfied.
His tactical intentions were perfectly presented.
Fear of fierce tackles has become Arsenal's Achilles' heel.
Of course, many teams know this.
However, they couldn't do very well.
If you know how to do it and whether you can do it well, the doorway in between will be great.
At the very least, they need a talented coach first.
...
"Arsenal used to pass the ball more than a dozen times in a row, but in the end they still failed to form a shot." Lineker said, "Aston Villa's attack, five passes, formed two shots, and the goal was scored."
"That's offensive efficiency," John Mortenson agreed.
Arsenal had already had four shots before, but none of them were on target.
Among them, the two shots were hasty kicks chosen out of desperation.
As for Aston Villa, they took two shots.
A shot resulted in a save by Almunia.
This time it scored directly.
Arsenal's goals are currently the most among the twenty teams in the Premier League.
That's because they have an all-out Cesc Fabregas.
The Spain international joined Arsenal in 2003 and has been with the north London club for six years.
In the giants of North London, Fabregas was trusted, cultivated and cared by Wenger.
In order for this talented Spaniard to become the leader of the team, Wenger has been painstakingly managing his future.
In 2007, the fifth year of joining Arsenal, the 20-year-old Cesc Fabregas became the captain of the Gunners.
In the modern football world, it is almost unimaginable for a twenty-year-old young man to become the captain of a wealthy team.
Wenger devoted all his love and cultivation to this Spanish lad. This season, the 22-year-old Cesc Fabregas has completely exploded.
Eighteen rounds of the league have been played, and Cesc Fabregas has scored 7 goals and 6 assists. .
In the Champions League, Cesc Fabregas also had one goal and two assists.
A player in such a hot state, it is impossible for Fang Jue not to notice.
He also specified targeted tactics to limit Cesc Fabregas.
However, there is a saying in football that some players cannot freeze when they are hot.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Arsenal scored.
Cesc Fabregas suddenly kicked a long shot from outside the penalty area.
The football flew into the net against the bottom corner of the goal.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Roberto Enke couldn't do anything about the ball.
The ball is fast, sticks to the turf, and has a tricky angle.
Wenger cheered from the sidelines.
In the camera, the Frenchman looked at Cesc Fabregas celebrating his goal with gentle eyes, like a son whose father sees a promising future, the kind of pampering and elation.
...
Fang Jue bit his cheek in displeasure. There was really no way to lose the ball.
Clement had already blocked it immediately. No one expected that Fabregas would be able to shoot such a high-quality shot as soon as he caught the ball.
Fabregas' goal boosted Arsenal's morale, and the cheers of the fans at the Emirates Stadium increased a lot.
Arsenal tried to take advantage of the opportunity of just equalizing the score and improving morale to put pressure on Aston Villa's goal. It is best to overtake the score in the first half of the game.
But at this time, Aston Villa quickly gave Arsenal a gouge.
This is Aston Villa's second attack after a set-piece attack in the frontcourt failed.
The first is Deisler's credit.
He relies on his own personal technique.
Dribbled laterally from the front of Arsenal's big penalty area, pulling Arsenal's defense.
Then, Deisler and Diego Costa, who dropped back to meet him, made a wall-slamming cooperation.
Costa's movement off the ball attracted Arsenal's defensive attention.
Deisler is a direct pass before the point.
A bald head appeared in the shot.
He jumped up, facing the football in the air, shook his head, and made a beautiful arc.
The ball arced past Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia's fingers.
Flew into Arsenal's goal!
"Senderos! Senderos! Felipe Senderos --!!! A very, very, very powerful blow!" the narrator roared.
