Chapter 859： Young people do not speak martial arts!

At the weekend, in the FA Cup semi-final, Manchester City played against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.

In the locker room before the game, when Wenger got Manchester City's starting list, he screamed in his heart.

You look down on people too much!

Really think that the knife in Arsenal's hand is not good?

Wenger wanted to rush over, went to the home team's locker room, picked up Guardiola's chest, sprayed his spit on his face, and gave him a lesson on the court. You know, young people should be humble, talk about martial arts, and don't be too crazy!

Playing Arsenal, none of the three main players in the frontcourt are playing. Who is this to look down on?

But Wenger endured it!

Even, he has already begun to calculate in his heart, what kind of wishful thinking Guardiola is playing?

It is no accident that Sudong, Di Maria and Sanchez, the three frontcourt players, are all absent from the starting lineup.

It is not accidental that David Silva, Gareth Barry and Thiago start in the midfield.

Guardiola intends to save the team's core combat power for the next game against Tottenham Hotspur?

Does he really feel that Arsenal is not as strong as that rival in North London?

Or does he think that Manchester City can easily eliminate the Gunners at home?

Wenger was thinking about it, and his heart became angry again.

He has been in the Premier League for so many years, when has he been so humiliated?

Even Ferguson's old fox, when he meets Arsenal, doesn't he have to do his best to play?

But Guardiola and his Manchester City dare to be so big, it's really...

When I think about it, Wenger is very angry, especially when he thinks of being one to nine at home by the opponent...

Every time Wenger recalled, there was an urge to collapse and vomit blood.

That game was really painful for Arsenal.

"Su Dong is a substitute." Pat Rice reminded Wenger.

Although Su Dong was not in the starting lineup, he was placed on the bench. It can be seen that Guardiola is planning to arrange him in the second half, but he is so sure that Manchester City can stick to Su Dong playing?

Or does he want to rely on this semi-main lineup to solve Arsenal?

...

...

Manchester City did not send their main players, but Arsenal did the same?

Wenger also had a rotation in this game.

The goalkeeper is Almunia, the defense is Gibbs, Koscielny, Zhulu and Sarnia, the midfield is Denilson and Diaby behind, Rosicky, Wilshere and Nasri are forward , The center is Van Persie.

Probably due to the impact of one to nine at home, Wenger won Fabianski and Spanish veteran Almunia started.

Players such as Alexander Song and Vermaelen did not play for various reasons or even made the squad.

Facts have proved that the Gunners also did not make the determination to fight Manchester City to the end in this game.

With the start of the game, Wenger's team did not actively take the initiative to grab or oppress, but focused on defending.

To say that the gunman is going to fight back, but Walcott, the fastest counter-attack weapon, is not available, which I have to say is very surprising.

At the beginning of the game, the Gunners began to implement their tactics.

To sum it up simply, it is four words, steady and fast-paced!

Yes, it means literally.

Manchester City controlled the ball right from the start. Under the organization and planning of David Silva and Thiago, they kept attacking Arsenal's defense.

Dzeko, Adam Johnson, Milner and others threatened Arsenal’s goal in turn. Gareth Barry also had a few chances to kick in afterwards, but Almunia was in a brave state tonight and repeatedly defuses Manchester City’s offense. .

Of course, you can also look at it the other way around, Manchester City's shots did not pose an absolute threat.

In this way, the game was deadlocked.

...

...

Su Dong sat on the bench, frowned, watching the game.

Watching Zhulu and Koscielny sway from the left to the right on the court, facing Dzeko, they both performed very hard.

He was wondering in his heart, why did Wenger feel that with the level of these two central defenders, he could ensure Arsenal's results?

In recent years, many wingers and full-backs have sprung up, making people feel as if the core of the team is going to two flanks. For example, Alves is the core of the wing in Seville, and there is also a winger like Messi.

But in fact, Sevilla also had a giant like Baptista in the middle at the time.

Not to mention Barcelona, ​​Mourinho has always wanted to get a strong center.

What's the reason?

There is a saying in Italian football that is right, no matter how far you go from the side, you have to return to the center to shoot.

Therefore, in European football, any team will give priority to two positions when forming.

Centers and midfielders, followed by the midfielder.

This is what many fans say, the central axis!

After establishing the central axis, what is left is to continue to make up like a jigsaw puzzle, and then improve the various positions and functions of the team, and finally form a complete team.

From this set of procedures, it is not difficult to see the importance of center and center defenders to a team.

But Wenger's central defenders are Zhulu and Koscielny, which is obviously a bit too big.

These two central defenders cannot be said to have no strength. If they are in the middle of the Premier League, then there is no problem, but Arsenal is a team that aims to be in the top four of the Premier League. This kind of central defender configuration is obviously a bit too lax.

Of course, this can also be explained as that Wenger is used to living comfortably in this small day, so even if the central defender pulls his hips, he is still confident that he can lead the team to the top four.

But this season has repeatedly awakened Wenger, including Manchester City's nine-to-one, including the League Cup final loss to Birmingham, have all proved one thing, that is, Arsenal's two central defenders are not reliable.

Wenger should feel regret now, but missed the perfect opportunity to nourish during the winter break.

The central defender he supports will run out with tears in his mouth!

...

...

By the second half, the game was still deadlocked.

Neither party made a substitution during the intermission.

Manchester City still controls the ball, but they have not been able to break Arsenal's goal. The Gunners continue to defend and wait for opportunities to counterattack, occasionally counterattack, it is difficult to threaten Manchester City's goal.

More than 40,000 Manchester City fans kept cheering for the team, and the atmosphere in the stadium was extremely warm.

Manchester City has not played in the FA Cup semi-finals for decades. If they can reach the final, or even win the championship, it will undoubtedly create the history of the club. This is the common expectation of all Manchester City fans.

When the game reached the 60th minute, Arsenal took the lead in making a substitution.

Ramsey replaced Diaby, the latter's performance was not ideal, and some were not excited enough.

Each of the young players Wenger trained at Arsenal is extremely talented and talented, but in the process of training, there will always be various problems, resulting in their ultimate development. Pleasant.

This is also a problem that all teams committed to youth training will encounter.

Because of this, those giant teams at the top of the food chain would rather spend more money than buying young players to train them, and it is difficult for young players to get opportunities in giant teams.

There are basically no giants who can really promote their own youth academies like Bayern.

…

When the game reached the 65th minute, Manchester City also made substitutions.

Guardiola changed two players in one go.

Su Dong replaced Zheke.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina center did cause a lot of trouble to Arsenal's two central defenders tonight, and also tossed them hard enough, but they were still a little short of goal.

Sometimes, Dzeko and the real superstar are just at this point.

Sanchez replaced Milner, who performed okay, but at this time, the team still needs Sanchez's assault on the right, which Milner doesn't have.

Wenger also saw Manchester City's intentions and immediately arranged the team's left defense.

Tonight, he arranged for the teenager Gibbs to play. Faced with Sanchez, Wenger may not be very sure, especially when the game has been going on for more than an hour.

…

After the substitution, the game restarted.

Manchester City's offensive play is obviously different from before.

The position of the three players in the midfield is different. David Silva is closer to the midfield, which is a bit like a midfielder. Gareth Barry has repeatedly moved in for an hour, but now he has started to retreat. Tiago is about the same position.

Obviously, Manchester City’s frontcourt attack was handed over to Sue Dong, David Silva and Sanchez. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Adam Johnson is still on the left, holding down Sarnia.

And Su Dong played only eight minutes, that is, when the game went to the 73rd minute, Manchester City created a chance for him to face the goal directly.

In an attack on the frontcourt, David Silva took the ball in the middle. When Su Dong almost overlapped with Koscielny, he suddenly sent a through ball to the right side of the Arsenal penalty area.

At this time, Sanchez pulled Gibbs to the side, resulting in a blank on the right side of the penalty area.

Su Dong quickly shook off Koscielny, inserted diagonally to the right side of the penalty area, and caught up with David Silva's through ball.

Zhu Lu immediately followed, blocking Su Dong and the goal.

After Su Dong caught up with the ball, he didn't stop, but took advantage of the situation to sprint to the bottom. After tricking Zhu Lu into moving, he stopped suddenly, buckled the ball back with his right foot, and swiped his left foot horizontally.

With this sudden series of actions, Su Dong forced aside Zhu Lu and opened a gap.

Immediately afterwards, Su Dong caught up, and shot angrily with his left foot.

The ball went into the goal at lightning speed, almost rubbing the angle between the left side beam and the post.

The whole process from the start to the emergency stop, to the horizontal cut, can be described as one go, leaving no chance for Arsenal's defensive players to react.

Koscielny couldn’t keep up with Su Dong’s rhythm throughout the whole process, and Zhu Lu was like a wooden stake, completely played by Su Dong, let alone organized, even to keep up with Su Dong’s movement frequency. Less than.

By playing fast and slow, Su Dong completely captured Arsenal's two central defenders!

This made all the Manchester City fans in the entire Etihad Stadium uttered heartbreaking shouts.

One to zero!

Manchester City finally broke the deadlock on the court!
