Chapter 118 Kill Arsenal

Ibrahimovic kicked crazy!

That was the unanimous conclusion of Ajax, after seeing the hard work of the Swedish centre in training.

Completely different from the usual sloppy guy, Ibrahimovic worked very hard in every training session, and his face lost the smile of the past, replaced by an inescapable solemnity.

What's the matter with him?

Everyone in the team was talking a lot, and they were speculating in private. Some people suspected that he broke up with his girlfriend, some people suspected that he felt the pressure of his poor performance recently, and some people suspected that he had found a suitable team. To perform better.

Only Yang Yang, Maxwell and Fermaelen knew that he wanted to kill Arsenal.

The burst of energy when a person is desperate for a definite goal close at hand is astonishing.

Ibrahimovic is like that right now.

But it is precisely because he is completely different from usual that many people are not used to it. Even the head coach Ronald Koeman asked Yang Yang privately what was going on, for fear that something was wrong with the Swedish center.

"He's fine, he just wants to score and wants to go crazy." Yang Yang said with a smile.

The grievance between Ibrahimovic and Wenger is his personal matter. He told Yang Yang because he was a friend, but this does not mean that he wants to let others know, so Yang Yang is willing to keep it a secret for him.

"It's a good thing to want to score, but the battle is imminent, don't injure yourself." Ronald Koeman was relieved.

"Also," after a pause, the head coach said again, "you are his friend, and you should be more open to him. Sometimes the more you pursue it deliberately, the more likely you will miss out on the ball, so it's better to relax. Mentality, maintain a normal heart.”

"Okay, I'll tell him." Yang Yang nodded.

In the end, Koeman is a successful professional player. At this point, his opinion is quite worth considering.

"Don't go to school in the last two days, concentrate on training and adjust your state. The home game is very important."

Since he joined the first team, Yang Yang has always found time to go to school, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon. He played away games in a row a few days ago, and he didn't even go to a class a week, and the school also did this. Very helpless, but Yang Yang is now a regular member of the 18-man roster and really has no time.

The club also attaches great importance to Yang Yang's studies. This is the most important requirement that my uncle Shen Ming put forward when signing the contract. Therefore, as long as there is time, the club will arrange for a teacher to teach Yang Yang one-on-one tutoring, so that He kept up with the school's progress as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Yang Yang has an unforgettable ability, and he learns very quickly. Not only has his academic performance not declined, but he has always remained at the forefront of the top students. This also surprised the school and the club. He was often absent from class. Just open one eye and close the other.

Yang Yang knew in his heart that Ajax was a veteran team. In the face of a powerful Arsenal, although there was not much chance of winning, it did not mean that the club would be willing to bow down and kill. It must be a victory at home. Away to a draw.

"I know." Yang Yang nodded.

"The good news is that Ashley Cole will definitely not be able to play this game, and you will definitely have no way to compete with the world's top left-back, but the bad news is that the eighteen-year-old who replaced Ashley Cole played French teenager Clichy did a great job in the London derby against Chelsea yesterday."

Yang Yang was full of surprise, "Starting at Arsenal at the age of 18? Is it such an important game?"

"Yes, Arsenal is now for the new stadium. Wenger doesn't have much money to invest in transfers, so he can only boldly use new players. This Clichy is not too small. At present, Arsenal's youngest player should be Cesc Fabrega of Spain. Sir, he won't be seventeen until May, he's younger than you, but he's been playing with the team all the time."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly. He originally thought that he was young enough, but he didn't expect that there were people outside people, and there were days outside the world.

At the age of 18, he started as the main force in the London Derby in the Premier League, and at the age of 16, he represented Arsenal in the Premier League. For young talents like Clichy and Cesc Fabregas, Yang Yang not only admired, but also had a bit of a contest. meaning.

He wanted to know how far apart he was from people of the same age.

"I'll ask Luther to sort out a copy of the materials and video recordings. You can get them from him and study them carefully."

Since knowing that Yang Yang likes to collect information on his opponents before the game, Ronald Koeman has attached great importance to this, because he found that every time Yang Yang came off the bench, he played very targeted, obviously this was his homework before the game. it is good.

Because of this, before each game, he will specially ask Luther Carroll to prepare a material for Yang Yang.

…………

…………

After seeing Yang Yang, Ronald Koeman walked back to the first team coach's office.

At this time, not only the coaching staff of the Ajax first team, but also the technical director Van Gaal came to watch, everyone's faces looked very solemn, because they will face the next invincible in the Premier League of Arsenal.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and information and intelligence will always be the key to defeating the enemy.

Since the draw of Arsenal in December, Ajax's scouts have been working intensively, focusing on collecting all kinds of information about Arsenal, and arranging and analyzing them in preparation for the upcoming knockout match.

"According to the information we have received, it can be basically confirmed that there are a lot of injuries in Arsenal, Ashley Cole will not start, Bergkamp will basically not start, and may not even be included in the squad." Luther Carroll analyzed.

"Why?" Coleman asked.

He and Bergkamp used to be teammates, and he is very aware of the strength of this Dutch player. Although he will soon turn 35 years old, Bergkamp's performance is still quite good, and he is an important part of Arsenal's striker this season. member.

"Arsenal spent 10 million euros to bring in Jose Antonio Reyes from Sevilla in La Liga during the winter break. The teenager is Wenger's most reliant player now, very fast and more important. Yes, everyone is very unfamiliar with him, and the two strikers he has formed with Henry have lightning speed and are very lethal."

With the unbeaten season, Arsenal's starting lineup and technical and tactical play have also begun to be noticed by all teams. Not only in the Premier League, but even in the Champions League, the Gunners are also targeted.

In this case, the stimulation brought by fresh blood can not only act on the team, but also a hidden danger for those opponents who are familiar with or have studied Arsenal in depth.

"If there is no accident, the starting lineup we speculate is goalkeeper Seaman, and the back line is from left to right: Clichy, Campbell, Kolo Toure and Lauren, and there is no suspense between the two full-backs on the left and right of the midfield. , Pires on the left and Ljungberg on the right, but in addition to captain Vieira in the middle, it depends on whether Gilberto Silva can return from injury, otherwise, it should be Brazilian midfielder Edu, striker It's going to be a combination of Henry and Reyes."

The season has gone deep into the present, and there is basically no suspense in the technical and tactical play and starting lineup of the two sides, but Arsenal's advantage is that even if they only dispatched substitutes, they are enough to firmly suppress Ajax.

"In terms of offense, Ljungberg has not been in good form recently. He used to work best with Bergkamp, ​​but now Reyes, who has just arrived, has been starting. There has been no spark between the two of them, but still Don't be careless."

Luther Carroll's reminder made everyone nod.

A star of Ljungberg's level can create a deadly murderous intention at any time.

"Pires on the left is something we must pay attention to. Manchester United's 1-0 win over Arsenal in the FA Cup a few days ago is worth learning from. Ferguson used Keane to mark Pires, and we have De Jong or Garcia. Russek, cutting off Pires from Thierry Henry, would go a long way to curb Arsenal's attacking threat."

The Gunners' most powerful offensive firepower currently comes from the left. The combination of Ashley Cole, Pires and Henry's left attack has made all teams in European football frightened, but now Ashley Cole is injured. , As long as the connection between Pires and Henry is cut off, Arsenal's offense will be greatly reduced.

"Clichy played very well against Chelsea in this game and was selected for the best team in the Premier League, but if we study carefully, it is not difficult to find that he has basically no contribution on the offensive end, and he is in the defensive end. Among them, he is very fond of shovels, which is not a good habit."

"Arsenal's two full-backs, Lauren and Clichy, both have positional problems. In the game against Chelsea, Good Johnson cut into the penalty area from the left rib many times, causing Lauren and central defender Toure. The overlapping positions between them not only give way to the flanks, but also give a chance to the left side of the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area."

"The problem with Clichy on the left is his replacement. Campbell is tall and strong, and has excellent frontal defense ability, but the slowness of turning around is an old problem. Once he is pulled out, Clichy always has no way to respond in time. He fills the position behind him, so whether it's Chelsea or Manchester United, it's all about grabbing Clichy's side to play."

"In the last round of the Premier League against Chelsea, in the opening goal, Clichy's left flank was the starting point of Chelsea's goal, but he performed very well in the subsequent games, which covered up the mistake at the beginning, but All teams have seized on this point to play, and the answer is already very obvious."

After the analysis of Luther Carroll, everyone began to understand that behind the mighty power of Arsenal, there are actually very weak links, especially the impact of injuries is not smaller than other teams. .

If the world's top left-back Ashley Cole is present, perhaps this problem on the left will be covered up, but now, the teenager Clichy is destined to be the weakest link in Arsenal's squad.

And the point is, how can Ajax take advantage of this?

Manchester United won the FA Cup, but Chelsea were reversed 2-1 by Arsenal after scoring the first goal at home in the Premier League. These two games provided Ajax with enough experience and materials to learn from.

How to play this game?

Everyone looked at Ronald Koeman in unison.

Woohoo, the recommendation ticket doesn't seem to be very powerful, brothers and sisters, smash the votes hard!
