Chapter 378

"Boss, this is the 18 man list announced by Chelsea

Assistant coach Pat rice sent a copy to manager Arsene Wenger.

"Ibrahimovic and Eto'o are back in the squad

Arsene took the material, took a cursory look and closed it again.

He has a clear idea of the possible lineup for Chelsea. He is also clear about the characteristics and abilities of every player in the team. He just wants to be more sure.

"They missed two games, and now they are back on the list of 18 people's Congress. Will they start?" Asked pat rice, guessing.

In addition to Ibrahimovic and Eto'o, Gudjohnsen and Arjen Robben have also been included in the list of 18 people's Congress. It is reasonable to say that they may also start because they have played quite well in the past two games.

Especially Gudjohnsen, second only to Ronaldinho this season.

"I said that Ibrahimovic and Eto'o are the most important people in high cold from beginning to end." Arsene said with great certainty.

"As a head coach, I can understand Gao's practice. He wants to teach these two players a lesson, because their performance has been really bad since the beginning of this season. I would have done the same

In the Premier League, Arsene is also a head coach who attaches great importance to data, so he naturally has a series of data on hand, including the passing data between Ibrahimovic and Eto'o.

It's not that they pay special attention to it, but that there is too little communication between them.

"Gudjohnsen is really good, but compared with Ibrahimovic, it's still bad. As for Robben, he used to play on the left in Holland, but now the left of Chelsea is Ronaldinho. He can only play on the right. Although it's also good, he needs to adapt. If he can play on the right, his achievement will be higher."

At this time, there was a trace of admiration in Arsene Wenger's eyes.

At least from the transformation of Robben by the high cold, he can see the intention of the high cold, and also admire the vision of the high cold.

Playing on the left, Robben is a sharp winger at most, but he can play on the right. Once he plays, Robben will be an invincible sword, and even have the chance to become a nuclear weapon of the team.

"From the current platoon layout, the tactical intention of Alpine is very clear. Ronaldinho is on the left side, mainly controlling, taking the ball to attract defensive attention. The center is a strong center, attacking the restricted area on the right side, which is a bit like La Coruna of irueta, and it is also a very wise choice."

The most popular way to play in the Premier League is to fly with both wings, and the center is dominated by strong centers such as van Nistelrooy and Alan Shearer.

It is not a wise choice if Gao Han continues to play in the middle of Atletico Madrid and directly expose the side to the opponent, so he adjusted his playing style and changed to play in the configuration of lacolunia's winger and center.

But in the midfield, the cold is further than irueta, Deco and Veron's goal is to strengthen the team's ball control organization and rhythm, Makelele is behind, mainly in defense and out of the ball.

It has been proved that Veron has played better and better under the tactical system of Chelsea than under the tactical framework of Manchester United. He has not only become the core of the team's midfield, but may even return to his peak.

From this season's many games, Terry and Gallas are not weak in the ability to take the ball and give the ball. Under this set of cold playing methods, they can also adapt well, which undoubtedly makes the transformation of Chelsea very successful.

But the problems at Chelsea are equally obvious.

"Chelsea's right-wing defense is a problem. Ferreira has both offensive and defensive skills, but he is not brilliant. Glen Johnson is a young man who pays more attention to attack than to defend. He needs further improvement. No matter who he plays, it will be our chance." Said Arsene.

Arsenal are good at attacking on the left. The chain of attack formed by Ashley Cole, Pires and Henry is a nightmare for almost all teams in the Premier League.

"As for our defense, the focus is on Ronaldinho. As long as we strangle the Brazilian, their attack will be greatly reduced."

Pat rice nodded. Arsenal's double backs are not vegetarian.

"If the cold really arranged for Ibrahimovic and Eto'o to start, then we..."

"The two players are not so simple," he said with a smile

"Well?" Pat rice is a little strange.

"As a matter of fact, several of the players at Chelsea have a lot of affinity with me. It goes without saying that Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie have been following up for the past year. Eto'o almost joined us in 2000 when he was not successful in Real Madrid. I am very optimistic about him. We have talked about it and are ready to sign, But Aragones suddenly stepped in and took him to Mallorca

"As for Ibrahimovic, it's even earlier. When he was still playing for Malmo, I invited him to Highbury stadium and gave him a No. 9 shirt. But he was still young at that time. I mean, he stayed in the team for trial training first, but in the end, this arrogant boy went straight away and joined Ajax."

Pat rice was a little surprised to hear that Arsenal, Ibrahimovic and Eto'o are still close to each other.

"I understand the ability and potential of these two players, but I also know their temper and cold intention. I appreciate and affirm his vision, but I don't think he can handle these two thorns

"Of course, their personal ability is still very strong, we still have to be careful, but the focus is still on Ronaldinho, even on the back of Deco and Veron

"I see." Pat rice nodded.

What the boss means is that the two players have strong personal abilities, but they hardly cooperate with each other.

"Pat."

Just as pat rice understood his mission and just left, Arsene suddenly called him back.

"Boss."

"This season's Premier League is very challenging. Although Ferguson's Manchester United have sold David Becks, they have been robbed by Chelsea in the transfer of Ronaldinho and Robben, and their overall strength has been weakened a lot. On the whole, Manchester United are still our most powerful rivals."

"But the cold of Chelsea also can not be underestimated, from the previous eight rounds of the league, cold from the beginning has a very clear tactical thinking, and according to this set of tactical concept to introduce high-level players, perhaps no superstar, but the players in every position are very high level, the integrated team is super competitive."

Arsene Wenger's eyes flashed a look of appreciation, "on this point, the cold is enough to make all doubters shut up, but also enough to prove that his achievements in Atletico Madrid in the past three years are not luck, he may even become the biggest suspense in the Premier League this season."

As a right-hand man, pat rice clearly feels the worry and even hesitation in Arsene Wenger's heart.

Since he landed in the Premier League, the Premier League has always been his duet with Ferguson.

Even if Houllier leads Liverpool to win a lot of titles, even if Robson leads Newcastle to revive, even if Leeds United were invincible at that time, they can not shake their rule over the Premier League.

But in contrast, Arsene Wenger is a little shorter than Ferguson.

The 2001-02 season can be said to be the pinnacle of Arsene Wenger's management of Arsenal. In that season, the Gunners not only perfectly implemented Arsene Wenger's tactical concept, but also achieved amazing results on the pitch, especially the amazing 21 unbeaten games in the second half and the last 13 consecutive wins, which made Arsenal invincible.

However, when Arsene Wenger was ambitious and wanted to lead Arsenal to win the Premier League title and complete Ferguson's three consecutive titles, the Gunners were hit hard in the 2002-03 season.

The start of the season was perfect. The Gunners extended their unbeaten record of last season to 30 rounds. They didn't lose to Everton until the 10th round. The player who scored Arsenal's goal at the last moment was Wayne Rooney.

But the real turning point is in the winter break.

On December 26, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 3-1 to Middlesbrough, while Arsenal beat West Bromwich 2-1 away, widening the gap to seven points.

But since then, Manchester United have been in hot pursuit, with 15 wins and three draws in the remaining 18 rounds.

Arsenal kept making mistakes and losing points under the pressure of their rivals. Although they only lost two games, they drew six games. In the end, they lost 2-3 to Leeds United in the key campaign, giving up the league title.

Pat rice, who has experienced this battle personally, knows better than anyone how hard it was for Arsene Wenger, who was ambitious to build a dynasty for Arsenal, last season.

After learning from the bitter experience, all the analysis will be directed at the defense.

Goalkeeper seaman is old and Campbell at centre half needs a qualified partner

As a result, German goalkeeper Lehmann came, Kolo Toure began to take the lead and became Campbell's partner. Meanwhile, both Arsene Wenger and the coaching staff agreed that the team's defense was the reason for losing the championship in the end.

So this summer, Arsene Wenger proposed to further optimize the defensive configuration on the basis of maintaining the team's defensive counterattack last season, and even the requirements for the midfield are more clear, that is, everything is based on defense.

The purpose of this is very simple, to ensure the efficiency of getting points for the middle and lower reaches of the team.

Because last season, Arsenal lost two games in the final stage, one was Blackburn and the other was Leeds United, which were quite undeserved losses. In the six games of draw, Bolton, Aston Villa and other games were also regrettable.

It's understandable that Arsene will make such a compromise.

Because everyone knows that in the Premier League, apart from Manchester United, almost no team can become an opponent of Arsenal. As long as we can ensure the efficiency of scoring against other teams and maintain stability in the strong strong dialogue, Arsenal can basically win the championship.

But what I didn't expect was that all of a sudden, there was a Chelsea team.

The cold team has invested a lot of money, but the harvest is also very huge. From the previous eight consecutive wins, the overall strength of the team is better than that of Liverpool and Newcastle, and it is well adjusted, even not lost to Manchester United and Arsenal.

It's a threat to Arsene.

Because he is familiar with the Premier League pattern, has been completely changed!
