This is not the first time Yunsheng has played against Arsenal.
Excluding the meeting in the International Turin Cup friendly match, today is the third time that Yunsheng's team has played against Arsenal in an official match.
In the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals of the 0910 season, Yun Sheng, then the coach of Monaco, met Arsenal. In the two rounds of the match, the two teams ended up with a total score of 3 to 3. Monaco advanced to the fourth quarter with the advantage of away goals. powerful.
It was after winning that game that Monaco got better and better, going all the way to win the Champions League trophy.
Yunsheng's influence was very profound. In the second round, it was Wang Chuhe's last-minute free kick that finally eliminated Arsenal.
From that moment on, Wenger had already made up his mind to buy Wang Chuhe and form a dual-core situation in China.
Now compared with two years ago, although Juventus' overall strength is better than Monaco, with Pirlo's injury and absence, Yunsheng really does not have a midfield brain who can replace Pirlo.
Although Ballack is tough enough and passes the ball very well, although Ronaldinho is full of energy and is good at passing and shooting, and although Diego is a superb dribbler and top-notch forward player, the three of them combined may not be as good as Pirlo. It plays a role in the team's offensive and defensive transition and rhythm control.
Pirlo's absence gave Yun Sheng a headache.
Now for Juventus, the most indispensable thing is this Italian central axis-Buffon, Pirlo and Del Piero.
Yunsheng is not particularly worried about Van Persie's absence today, but Pirlo's absence has at least reduced Juventus' winning rate by 30%, at least that's what Yunsheng thinks.
Look at AC Milan, which is 19 points ahead of Juventus this season. Isn't the biggest difference between them and last season the lack of Pirlo?
In the locker room, Yun Sheng arranged tactics seriously and solemnly.
"Barack, you have a great responsibility in this game. Not only do you have to be responsible for defensive tasks, but you also have to take on some organizational responsibilities. Diego and Ronaldinho strive for more opportunities to go forward and cooperate with the front trident to try to play more and short. Pass, this can minimize the impact of Pirlo's absence. You are the core of the team in this game and are extremely important!"
"And Bonucci, I let you start instead of Metzelder in this game, not only because you are faster and more suitable to deal with Arsenal's fast forwards, but also because your passing ability is better. Today you must You must cooperate well with Ballack, not only on defense, but also on offense. I ask you to play more balls in the backcourt, use your passing ability to organize attacks from the penalty area, and help Ballack take on some of the offensive organization duties. responsibility!"
"Pierro, I ask your front three to be more active in this game. You are the key to the team's goals in this game. If we score more points at home, we will have a better psychological advantage in the second round." . You are the captain, and the responsibility of scoring goals is left to the striker led by you, come on!"
Juventus players responded loudly to Yunsheng's arrangements and requirements, with high morale!
The game was about to start, and the players from both teams left the locker room and ran onto the court. The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!
In the first half of the game, Arsenal kicked off first. After they kicked off, they started a continuous pass in the frontcourt. They cooperated tacitly and had a very high passing success rate.
This is Arsenal's effective style of play. No matter what kind of opponent they encounter, Arsenal will not change their pursuit of artistic football. This is one of the reasons why fans love them so much.
Compared with Arsenal's artistic football, Juventus is better at defense. Although Yunsheng has brought a lot of offensive efficiency and agility to this team after coming to Juventus, Juventus has dominated European football for many years. They rely on stable defense, and the most important tradition Yunsheng will never lose. .
In the first five minutes, Arsenal twice reached the Juventus penalty area through short passes, but both attacks were disrupted by central defender Bonucci. Juve's young centre-back earned a round of applause and cheers from the Juventus Arena.
Today Yunsheng let Bonucci start, taking Metzelder's place, not because Metzelder was injured or in poor condition, but entirely from a tactical perspective.
Although Bonucci is not a dexterous defender, he has become one of the top defenders in Serie A with his excellent defensive anticipation. Even in the Italian national team, he has already become the main central defender, partnering with Barzagli and other club teammates. That is to say, having a top central defender like Metzelder in Juventus makes Bonucci only a rotation player.
In addition to his outstanding defensive ability, his assists and passing organization skills are top-notch. He even played in the midfielder position when he was in the youth team.
Italian coach Capello once said of Bonucci: "When there is the ball at his feet, Bonucci is the best Italian defender and one of the top three in the world."
Such an evaluation can be said to give Bonucci a lot of face.
However, Bonucci also has serious weaknesses. For example, when he played in the national team, Inter Milan and Bari, the team used a three-center-back system, so he was slightly insufficient in one-on-one defense ability. In Yunsheng The exposure is more obvious in the four-back formation.
This is why Yunsheng has been letting him play a rotation position in the past two years and has always asked him to continue to grow.
In the first five minutes of the game, his performance was full marks, and the perfect cooperation of national team teammate Barzagli also made Juventus' defense very strong.
Gervinho tried to dribble into the penalty area twice, but was intercepted by Bonucci. The Italian defender kept in mind what Yun Sheng told him about Gervinho's technical characteristics and targeted defense, which made the Ivorian play very awkward today. .
Also feeling uncomfortable were several forwards from Juventus.
Arsenal's central defender combination also performed very well today. Koscielny and Vermaelen were like Arsenal's two iron gates, firmly closing the passage to the goal, leaving the Juventus forward with nothing to do for a while.
In the parallel world of later generations, Koscielny was affectionately called "K6" by Arsenal fans. He played for Arsenal for nine years, leaving the best of his youth here. His will and quality of never giving up are the backbone of Arsenal's defense.
The talented Belgian central defender Vermaelen also plays tough and is deeply loved by fans. In the parallel world of later generations, he was called the "High Priest" after he later moved to Barcelona - as long as he was injured, the rest of the team was basically not injured. This interesting joke has also become a hot topic among many fans.
These two central defenders, who are equally confrontational and fierce in tackles, bring a passionate spirit to this artistic Arsenal.
In this game, the central defenders of the two teams played bravely and showed top level!
