"Clean steal!"
"Li Kang, who has returned to the deep-lying midfield position, is Europe's leading iron gate!"
"Look at this transition play."
"The position is still too far back. If I choose to advance by myself, the rhythm will seem a bit slow...Excellent long pass!"
"We are looking for Chamberlain!" Chamberlain is a super star produced by Southampton's youth training camp. His original nickname was...
"The New Walcott". Also a fast horse. The body and impact are stronger than Walcott, but the brain is not that smart.
Monaco's midfielder and frontcourt did not counterattack wildly. They don't panic. Coaching teams across Europe are studying Arsenal with Li Kang.
He summed up a lot of experience: 'If Li Kang does not participate in the transition attack, Arsenal's offensive power limit will only reach the threshold of Paris Saint-Germain.
''Li Kang does not participate in positional defense, and Arsenal's upper limit of defensive power is almost the same as Manchester City's.
'Pay attention. Switch offense. Positional defense. Monaco's coaching team is not only good at discovering little monsters, but also makes adequate arrangements before games against strong opponents.
Jardim also coveted the salary of Jinyuan Football and publicly stated that giving him a Chinese Super League team would be 50-50 equal to the mid-range Bundesliga teams.
...There’s no pressure on Arsenal’s push. Chamberlain took the lead and rushed forward without encountering any obstruction.
There are many reasons why Butterfly 4-4-2 was gradually eliminated: During the offensive and defensive transition period, formation changes relied too much on the players' positional sense.
A player with a poor sense of position is not a good thing; a player with a strong sense of position is also a bad thing... For example, Juan Mata moved from Chelsea to Manchester United.
That's right. Players with too strong a sense of position have been difficult to fulfill the core tasks in the lineups of powerful teams after 2014. The position molding of core players is a wave of tactical changes. The trend is like a circle, gradually going back.
The starting point is "Total Attack, Total Defense". Quite a coincidence. This group of young talents in Monaco have a very good sense of position.
Li Kang followed the movement of his formation and ran forward slowly. From a God's perspective: No one is running with him, but he is spreading around his teammates in the frontcourt to block the ball.
Mendy and Bakayoko rushed towards their own backcourt. Fabinho did not stick to the midfield position, but quickly retreated to form a formation with Glick and Germelson.
"Three central defenders". In an instant, the defensive width was widened. Monaco, don’t panic at all. Chamberlain, a young boy who has not yet awakened, still doesn't know what is waiting for him ahead...the side of the court.
Jardim danced in the command area while loudly shouting filial piety. He trained it
"Butterfly 4-4-2", endless variations. But the head coach needs to deliver adjustment information in time so that he looks particularly busy in key games.
The other side. Boulder was also yelling from the sidelines. Wen Ge straightened the red tie on his chest with a solemn expression.
He arranged this 4-4-2 that focuses on defense before the game. The defense is no problem, but the numerical disadvantage on the offensive end makes it difficult to bear fruit.
....
"Chamberlain's little change of direction is so smart!"
"Hey,...I couldn't get there."
"The football popped out of bounds!"
"A good opportunity to attack was missed..."
"It can't be said that you had a good opportunity. The passing point of Arsenal's frontcourt players was strangled."
"The number of troops invested in the attack is too small."
"Monaco players, take a breather now!" Chamberlain gave a thumbs up to his teammates with an apologetic look.
He kind of hates himself now. That guy Welbeck can also link up perfectly with Lee... Why can't he perform brilliantly?
... Bellerín throws in a throw-in. The target is still Li Kang, who is unmarked in the backcourt. Immediately afterwards. Arsenal teammates understood after seeing several rapidly changing gestures.
Since the end of the European Cup, Li Kang has not played as a deep-lying midfielder for a long time. He has spent the past few days studying Monaco's tactical framework.
There is probably a preliminary deconstruction method. But Fabinho's position changes cannot be simulated in the game.
Still need to test. Try out the evolutionary direction of the Jardim butterfly 4-4-2. There was no rush for a fast break, but he began to sort out the midfield slowly.
Slow movement and passing. The phantom of Red and Blue No. 6 gradually appeared in the field of vision. Harvey. There is no cathartic escape from the art of spinning in circles.
Instead, it conveys the idea of maintaining the overall formation structure and advancing slowly...The football is passed quickly and slowly under the black jersey.
The horizontal and vertical spacing of the entire central axis sometimes shortens and sometimes expands!
"The change in the running distance of Arsenal players is very simple. It mainly revolves around the local principle of playing more and playing less."
"The depth is well utilized."
"It was so dangerous. Fabinho fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, destroying Arsenal's threatening pass to the ribs in time!"
"But Monaco has no pressure to deal with this passing system... They defeated Barcelona in the second round of the Champions League group stage."
"no the same!"
"Li Kang's allocation of passing resources...has come close to the level of Xavi and Pirlo."....Time passed by minute by second.
Monaco players are gradually feeling the pressure. Jardim also had a little headache. Force or retreat. This is a choice.
Falcao, Mbappe and Lemar in the frontcourt had no chance to touch the ball. no. Don’t fall into Li Kang’s rhythm!
...Stade Louis II. The momentum of Monaco fans has not diminished at all. They still remember: In the second round of the Champions League not long ago, Barcelona was defeated by Monaco because of this tactic.
Is it difficult to break the pass control? The royal members in the VIP box were also watching the game with great interest.
"Arsenal's football, no matter how it is played, is a symbol of art."
"Didn't Rybolovlev say that he would use an annual salary of 10 million pounds to invite Mr. Arsene back? We can't afford Mr. 200 million, but we can bring the Arsenal coach back to where his dream began... and realize another dream. !”
"Don't listen to him, Jardim did a good job, why replace him? Our team will definitely achieve good results in the Champions League this season!" Arsenal fans were also a little uncomfortable.
The style of play reflected on the court is not the rhythm they are familiar with. But anyway. Enjoy the game with Lee.
Cherish the beautiful new era of the arsenal. ...courtside. Bould exclaimed: "Boss, after advancing to the 40-meter area of Monaco's half, the opponent's pressing became more and more fierce! We only have one Li and Cazorla, no Iniesta and Busquets, this This static pass-and-control style of play won't last long!" Wenger pressed his hands down to signal the bald assistant to calm down.
"Even if the opponent presses for the ball, it's not that easy to break up our formation."
"Pertesacker and Koscielny were very cautious in their positioning."
"We have to believe in Lee." .... As Jardim's crazy gestures changed on the sidelines. Monaco increases the number of pressing presses.
The positional conditions of Bakayoko and Mendy. Um. He's the one who likes to drive
"Party" Mendy. As a young man, he still didn't know his future destiny in Blue Moon. Sidibe's position moved forward and in, switching from full-back to defensive midfielder to make up for the thickness in front of the defense. The ultimate goal was to liberate Fabinho.
What about Fabinho? This guy shows unparalleled coverage and defensive capabilities. He is also a right back.
He is 1.88 meters tall, has a strong physique, and his ability to predict blocking is extremely abnormal... Facing his former good teammate in the Real Madrid echelon - Morata, he did not fall behind at all.
...
"Fabinho's role on the field is so obvious!"
"Why?"
"Li Kang specifically hits him from behind!"
"This time the overhead kick was passed from the area near him again!" Fabinho was also a little depressed.
He can obviously serve as a flexible and mobile defender. Why was Li targeted? It's like he's competing with himself.
no way. Arsenal's defense line has moved past the center circle with the overall movement of the formation. As long as Monaco completes the steal and launches a successful counterattack.
Lemar and Mbappe will make Lee regret it! ....Studio. Barrage flying. -[Fabinho is good, he is only 23 years old this year!
Has the potential to become one of the top three defensive midfielders in the world! ]-[I heard from "The Sun" that he will join Liverpool next season!
】-【Our army rises! 】-[23 years old, if the news is true, it will last ten years for Liverpool!
】...The 20th minute of the game. Li Kang sent a long pass over the top. The football drew a graceful arc in the sky above the Côte d'Azur, easily penetrating Monaco's right wing.
Fabinho retreats quickly. But he was blocked by Giroud's big butt. Morata took advantage of the situation to overtake, took the ball and ran wildly, diagonally into the Monaco penalty area.
At the top of the arc. Glick quickly made a move. The Spanish striker changed direction, took a shooting angle, and fired a blast!
Snapped! The football whizzed into Germelson's butt... and flew out of bounds. The 32nd minute of the game.
Li Kang sent an overhead kick again. Or play behind Fabinho. The Brazilian midfielder was in so much pain that he turned around and chased back again, blocking Sanchez's body at the same time... Glick, who arrived in time... looked at the menacing Morata and decisively cleared the ball out of bounds.
The 38th minute of the game. Li Kang sent an overhead kick. Fabinho turned around and chased back...in the 42nd minute of the game.
Li Kang sent an overhead kick. Fabinho turned around and chased after him... Jardim was stunned. The audience was also confused.
Monaco's Butterfly 4-4-2... What a perfect cross-rotation defensive system, but it was repeatedly played by Li Kang under the premise of controlling the ball.
The world-class defensive midfielder Fabinho, who was originally tall and majestic in his mind, gradually became short and awkward. Gradually, some discordant sounds came from the stands.
"Why does Sidibe always give up the defense on the right side and let Fabinho fill the hole?"
"Do Bakayoko and Mendy need to participate in the attack?" The poor Monaco players can't tell the story of their suffering.
If there were not a series of pressing and defensive rotations... Arsenal players would be able to comfortably play fierce passes!
...Injury time in the first half. Li Kang didn't have time to send an overhead kick. Beep! Beep beep~The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
“A slightly dull first half.”
"But Li Kang made excellent long passes many times."
"It's a bit cruel to say that under the premise that Arsenal controls the game, superstars like Lemar, Bernardo Silva, and Mbappe have no chance to show their abilities on the offensive end..."
"But Arsenal didn't get many chances, and they had very few shots!"
"Looking forward to the performance of both teams in the second half!"
"Take a short break and let's go into a commercial break first..."...Li Kang and Cazorla felt pretty good and not very tired.
Including Bellerin, who stood parallel to the two from time to time. The ones who are tired are the teammates on the front line. Especially Giroud, who has not yet developed his speed at this stage and is very big. The constant sprinting back and forth consumes a lot of his physical energy.
"Why do we always have to attack the space on Monaco's right and right half-space? The number of shots converted is too few..."
"Don't ask too much, just listen to Li Kang." Morata interrupted his teammate's question, took the dry towel from Boulder, and ran towards Li Kang.
...Arsenal dressing room. The coaching staff reviewed the details of the first half. In the freshly released heat map, a blush is printed on the right side of Monaco's half, which is extremely rich.
Everyone gradually discovered a problem: Fabinho turns around so fast, why is he always half a beat slower than Morata... or even Giroud?
"Damn, this is why Fabinho can't compete with Casemiro in the Real Madrid echelon and the Brazilian national team!"
"This guy's judgment on the landing point... was too hesitant!"
"How could such a talented defensive midfielder have such stupid bad habits? It's like a fly fell into a pot of delicious mushroom soup!"
"It's unbelievable. Didn't Real Madrid's youth training have any training like this? No, why doesn't Casemiro have this shortcoming?"
"Fabinho is not an orthodox Real Madrid youth product... Well, now is not the time to discuss this."
"Lee is so scary. He spent 45 minutes testing out Monaco's defensive weaknesses! The two hundred million is so worth it!"
"Unfortunately, this weakness cannot be the key to victory for the time being."
"That's the key to victory." The coaching staff was still arguing. Wenger had already pulled Welbeck into a corner and was giving him face-to-face instructions.
After a while. The silly little black egg clenched his fists excitedly when he learned that he could play as a substitute.
"Boss, I remember your arrangement... Well, it doesn't matter if you don't remember it. Wherever Li passes the ball, I will run!" Wenger was stunned and shook his head helplessly. He could not find anyone to refute Will. Baker's place.
...Monaco dressing room. Jardim shouted filial piety crazily.
"You must be more decisive in your aggressive attitude!"
"If you hesitate, you will only be given the opportunity to pass and run!"
"I didn't expect you to intercept the football from under his feet!"
"My request is simple: compress the space for him to handle the ball!"
"Li's gesture is very simple. Isn't it just raising his hand to ask his teammates to give way to the wing or the center? I can fucking understand it! His purpose in the first half was to find a mismatch opportunity! Create a local numerical advantage! "
"listen!"
"We just need to be more resolute and do a good job in defensive details. Arsenal's offense will not pose any threat!" The generals were silent.
Including Mbappe. He was so depressed that he scratched his little black egg, feeling that the gap between him and Li Kang had widened a little.
Fabinho felt miserable. It wasn't that he had a problem with his judgment of the landing point, but that Li's overhead pass... was too tricky.
...The fifteen-minute break ended quickly. Night falls on the French Riviera. Li Kang walked out of the tunnel and looked up at the dark blue night sky, feeling that it was very similar to the color of his jersey.
The problems we have to deal with in the second half are like the stars in the sky. 4-4-2, an eternal formation that has been polished by countless football seniors, has endless changes, and may not be so easily eliminated by the wave of reform.
"Good evening, viewers, and welcome back."
"The second half of the Champions League group match between Monaco and Arsenal is now live for you!"
"The temporary score between the two sides is 0:0."
"Arsenal took the lead in using the first substitution!"
"Welbeck comes on for Giroud!"
"It's a matchup personnel change!" ...bench. Giroud took a shower, changed his clothes and sat next to Walcott.
He is a diligent old scalper with a good competitive attitude, and he will not complain if he is replaced in the midfield.
He clearly knows what type of defense he is suitable for dealing with and what scenarios he is not suitable for. What is this called?
Tactical knowledge of professional players.
