The organizers invited several Gunners legends who did not arrive at the Emirates Stadium to watch the game.
"Do you feel that the Arsenal in the 2016/17 season is any different from the previous one?"
the host asked.
Adams thought for a while and said: "These players will not wet the bed because they drink too much. Yes, I quit drinking because Wenger respects me. He is always so gentle."
"I wanted to beat him up at first, but he was too gentle, so I pushed Wright, who was always late, against the wall."
"Without any special means, this weak university teacher took control of the Arsenal dressing room. You know, we were in chaos at that time."
Everyone laughed.
When Wenger took over Arsenal in the early days, he faced a group of "old hooligans" with outdated playing styles, alcoholism, irritability and filthiness.
The media commented at the time: A sheep wants to be the leader of a pack of wolves?
Vieira added: "The tactical styles are also very different. Wenger initially asked us to play 4-4-2, with low defense and counterattacks, because our overall skills cannot support long-term passing and cutting pressure."
"Except Bergkamp."
"It wasn't until the end of the European Cup in 2000 and Pires came to Arsenal that everything changed. We were able to keep our opponents in the penalty area and couldn't get out, and we often kicked out 5-0 and 6-0 massacres."
"Wenger's tactical philosophy has always evolved with the times."
"The rivals for the championship were also different. Manchester United was the Red Empire at that time, a dominant club in Europe!"
Pires shook his head and said: "Henry is the core. He was a waste in Serie A for a year and became a king after coming to Highbury. I think Wenger has the ability to turn decay into magic."
Henry blushed and explained: "Bergkamp's role was more obvious at that time. Let's get back to the topic. This year, the challenges faced by Arsenal are more complex and the opponents are stronger. Although the attack power and suppression power are far inferior to ours." period, but more balanced, and balance here refers to being more tactically adaptable.”
Everyone turned their attention to the Ice Prince.
Bergkamp looked grim and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "This is the value of Lee. If he can continue his terrifying strength in the Champions League, no one can stop him."
The game time has reached the 15th minute.
Player running data is inserted in the lower left corner of the big screen. Li Kang is at the bottom.
The Gunners legends fell silent.
Emirates Stadium.
The fans encouraged their players with their voices.
Manchester City attacked crazily and changed their formation to 2-3-5!
The two full-backs switched to midfield form, always ready to respond to the two-point attack.
Single arrow - Aguero temporarily becomes a mascot, wandering in the area between the opponent's two central defenders: As a center, he misses the era of Mancini and Pergone more than the reliable era of Manchester City's rebuilding era. alternatives.
Sane and Sterling stretched the offensive width to the limit, widening the distance between Arsenal's two full-backs and the central defender.
De Bruyne and David Silva are active in the left and right ribs, providing strong suppression and always ready to send a fatal pass.
Arsenal looked dangerous but just didn't concede a goal.
Wenger had experience playing with Guardiola back then, and the strengths and weaknesses of low-post defense changed very quickly.
Li Kang looked to the sidelines from time to time to observe Guardiola's gestures.
God's perspective gradually divided the football field into 20 small grids.
District 20.
His job is simple:
Whichever direction Manchester City mainly attacks, Arsenal teammates will increase the defensive numerical advantage in that direction.
Li Kang stood in the ribs on the weak side, stifling David Silva or De Bruyne's lateral offensive transfer.
gradually.
His effective runs are getting less and less
Let’s give an intuitive example: Manchester City’s offensive passing and running changes at this stage are like a big fierce shield, squeezing the opponent hard. Arsenal’s defense is a pair of hands with nine fingers to dismantle the more violent side of the big fierce shield. The little tail finger is left to resist the squeeze of the big evil hood suddenly switching to the other side.
The middle of this big fierce hood is unbuttoned.
"Henry once said that when he was playing for Pep Guardiola, he once ignored the offensive arrangement of the coaching staff, changed positions without authorization and scored a goal. Guardiola was so angry that he was replaced not long after."
"The same was true for Manchester City in this period."
"The rotation and ambiguous roles of all players cannot be separated from the framework laid out by Guardiola."
"Oops, David Silva's diagonal pass was ruined by Li Kang again."
"Guardiola's Manchester City has been rebuilding for a season, but there is still little progress. The offensive routine is complex but fixed."

Barrage flying.

[What did Guardiola rebuild? After leaving Barcelona's peak Haberbumé, he caused trouble wherever he went. After cheating Bayern and Manchester City, he is now worse than Mancini and Pergone. 】

[Don’t worry, reconstruction needs to be calculated in years. Manchester City fans must be patient and give Guardiola eight years to spend another 1.3 billion to 1.6 billion euros! He will definitely achieve the dominance of Barcelona at its peak. 】

[The meaning is different. What the Abu Dhabi consortium needs is not a big-name star, nor is it pursuing a temporary championship, but to build a real giant through Guardiola, including a youth training system, and establish a distinctive and ornamental team from the bottom up. A high-quality, inherited football style. 】

[A superstar like Li Mingdeng with his own system will only disrupt Blue Moon's future layout and style shaping. It has nothing to do with how much money is invested. Once he joins Manchester City and leaves, will other players be able to continue his superb performance? Manchester City does not need a super giant in the future, what they need is inheritance. 】

[Guardiola’s significance to Manchester City is equivalent to Cruyff and Barcelona! This is what the Abu Dhabi consortium is pursuing. 】
The 20th minute of the game.
The first two parts of Manchester City's 2-3-5 formation have reached the center line.
Yaya Toure sent a diagonal pass to the ground and found De Bruyne on the right in the 30-meter area.
Without turning his head, the latter touched the ball and passed it to Sane, who was advancing at high speed from the wing.
Sane slowed down after receiving the ball and pretended to break into the penalty area.
Arsenal's defensive players immediately gathered around and the entire defense line began to tilt.
at the same time.
De Bruyne took two steps back and found a better environment for the ball in his ribs.
Sane also immediately passed the ball back!
"Danger!"
"The rainbow is coming!"
"The left side of the Arsenal penalty area is empty again!"
"De Bruyne made a cross from the ribs at a 45-degree angle!"
There was a snap.
The football left Tintin's right foot and drew a rainbow-like arc over the Arsenal penalty area.
The placement was extremely ambiguous, leaving Cech in a dilemma.
Sterling kicked hard on the turf, started accelerating, entered the penalty area, and was able to complete a fatal blow with his head right before his eyes!
result
He failed to eat the bread and hit a wall.
Li Kang easily stuck his position, and Cech fell to the ground and hugged him.
"Pity!"
“Effortless slotting.”
"Manchester City understands the attacking space very well and seizes the numerical changes in Arsenal's low defense to create a local advantage."
"But I happened to meet a La Masia No. 4 who has a deeper understanding of space."
"Look at Arsenal's transition attack!"
If Manchester City loses the ball during its own offensive phase, it will not immediately retreat like Arsenal, but will form a set of coordinated pressure to counterattack on the spot in the local area where the football is located.
This is also one of Guardiola's confidence to play a single defensive midfielder or not arrange a defensive midfielder.
pity.
After the football was passed between two feet, it came to Li Kang's feet.
Clichy, David Silva and Sterling quickly double-teamed and counterattacked.
It's impossible to grab it.
It couldn't even successfully delay Arsenal's counterattack.
In Li Kang's field of vision, the shadow of No. 21 in blue appeared.
David Silva.
Space Magician Module.
Slow version of Messi.
God's perspective clearly deconstructs the division of Manchester City's 20-zone defense line in the melon style.
Flashing around.
Push and pull.
One more push.
The football was like a sharp blade, penetrating part of Manchester City's counterattack circle!
David Silva was a little dazed, but didn't think much about it because Li Kang had always been excellent in his mind.
He was not in a daze, but quickly turned around and returned to defense.
"Chicken!"
"A super long through ball with ease!"
"The domineering straight line penetrated Manchester City's midfield defense zone!"
"Girou!"
Although Giroud is a single arrow, he runs the slowest and is in a recessed position in the offensive formation.
Bellerin, Sanchez, Cazorla and Walcott pushed forward wildly, widening the offensive width and forming a four-point fan!
It’s time for Giroud, the old scalper, to embroider!
Turn your back to meet the ball.
Raise your left foot.
Snapped!
The football lifted off the ground, spun violently, and flew to the right side of Manchester City's half!
It happened to be the vacuum area after Krish lost his position.
"Walcott!"
"Super fast horse!"
"Yi Qi Jue Chen!"
"Perfect transition offense!"
Goalkeeper Caballero rushed back to the penalty area with all his strength.
Fernandio, Kompany and Otamendi quickly shrank the defense.
Too late.
Walcott has dribbled the ball to the front line of the penalty area.
Decisive cross to the middle!
Cazorla and Sanchez formed two outflanking points!
Snap!
Master of Balance in one fell swoop.
The football flew over Caballero's head and crashed into the net.
1:0! ! !
"The ball is in!"
"Cazorla's exquisite pass!"
"Little Tiger's assist."
"Arsenal opens the scoring!"
"Guardiola's high defensive line has great hidden dangers. Even the mid-table team Everton can massacre this Blue Moon 4-0!"
"Including Leicester City, which just escaped the relegation zone, also defeated Manchester City 4-2 this season."
"There are also Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Middlesbrough, Manchester United and Chelsea. We believe Guardiola will be able to avenge his humiliation next season!"
"Judging from the real-time standings, Manchester City will have to strive for fourth place this season to qualify for the Champions League next season."
The cheers at the Emirates Stadium grew louder.
The Premier League championship is just around the corner.
The Arsenal players gathered together and hugged each other.
"Li, how did you pass the ball? Isn't my distribution also very cool?"
"Compared to the previous two games against Liverpool and Tottenham, tonight is really easy!"
Li Kang smiled and did not continue to focus on Guardiola's gesture. It felt like cheating during an exam.
The joy of one contrasts with the sadness of the other.
De Bruyne, who was chasing after him, was so angry that he lightly stamped his foot.
Caballero looked helpless. He finally defeated Bravo and became Manchester City's main goalkeeper. Will he go through a massacre today?
That feeling was even more uncomfortable than breaking a bone after being kicked by Cristiano Ronaldo from a penalty kick.
Courtside.
Wenger smiled and applauded. In terms of first-hand arrangements, he had never been crushed by Barcelona in those years.
Boulder was elated.
"Boss, let's brush up Li's data at the beginning of the next round!"
On the premise of winning the championship in advance, the coaching staff will really create opportunities for core players to improve their statistics.
Use all the strength of the team to feed the cake.
Of course, there are also those who overturn, such as Chelsea in Mourinho's second period.
Wenger thought for a while and said: "Li may feed the data of these teammates."
The other side.
Guardiola scratched his bald head in confusion.
After a season of experimentation, he no longer takes winning or losing so seriously.
"Did you see that? Lee's position in the offensive phase is full-back!"
"He will become the king of the defense!"
"Giroud's form is that of a midfielder that plays a linking role, and Cazorla is an example of the end point of the midfielder's transformation."
“Arsenal are the pioneers of positional ambiguity.”
He was a pure tactical maniac during the game, and would occasionally lose his temper and slap his disciples on the butt.
Arteta had a dark look on his face.
Your own coach is having trouble again. He won't have to talk about tactics with the other team's players again, right?
It's not that complicated.
This is just that Wenger gave the players full freedom in the transition attack.

[Guardian is experimenting again. Manchester City’s defense line combinations this season are close to twenty. If you include the goalkeeper, you can’t even count how many changes there are. 】

[Guardiola: What is the ultimate in football? 】
The game resumes.
Manchester City failed to find any opportunities.
Complex offensive routines have been developed by various Premier League coaching staffs: without a goalkeeper like Bravo, the three general directions of cooperation in the ribs surrounded by Blue Moon are relatively simple.
Guardiola is having a hard time finding the best goalkeeper for Manchester City's system.
VIP box.
Arsenal's top brass were very pleased with the situation.
"We need to significantly increase the bonus ratio for players and coaching staff!"
"Who is going to persuade Arsène again?"
"The bank said that if Wenger leaves Arsenal, normal loan approval criteria will be initiated for the club."
Everyone looked at each other, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads.
Shareholders are clamoring for dividends.
Arsenal is undergoing reforms to modernize the club, and reforms will cost a lot of money
BBC Studios.
Bergkamp suddenly said: "Even we can erect a statue at the Emirates Stadium, why is Wenger not qualified?"
Are there any more tonight? There are some.
