Chapter 156 Hard Defense

Chapter 156 Hard Defense

In this game, Manchester City also sent the main force. In addition to the striker twin towers, Samaras and Shevchenko, Manchester City is still in the midfield position, sending David Silva, Hargreaves, Elano , Martin Petrov's lineup.

Ljungberg, who shined in the last game, came to the bench in rotation.

Instead of continuing the eight-door golden lock formation against Liverpool, he continued to use the positive and negative five-element formation.

Unlike Liverpool, Arsenal's individuals are integrated into the whole, playing football as a whole and cooperating with the ball.

But Liverpool's attack has the personal style of several people.

Otherwise, Torres would not choose to go it alone with both tailwind and headwind.

So Duncan chose the positive and negative five-element formation.

As a seamlessly embedded new core, Silva has also become the leader of Manchester City's offense while conquering the whole team with technology.Everyone will always surround Silva, follow him, help him.

With the blessing of the five-element formation, Silva is like a Nezha with three heads and six arms, active in every corner of the frontcourt.

Wenger obviously observed Manchester City's first few games and focused on arranging Flamini to mark Silva.

Many games have proved that the bulky and slow-moving British defender is not suitable for marking David Silva, who is flexible and agile.

So Wenger did the opposite, using Flamini, who is also thin but has a strong defensive awareness and excellent skills, to defend Silva exclusively.

In addition to Flamini, Diaby and Cesc Fabregas also take on important tasks in defense.

Fabregas also changed his usual defense and was criticized for his defense, and also spared no effort to run and tackle.

Cesc Fabregas became famous when he was young, and now he is compared to Silva, who is a year older than him but became famous many years later, so he will naturally be unconvinced.

When it comes to the competition, he will naturally be more motivated!

Facing Flamini for the first time, Silva was very familiar with it, using delicate skills and excellent predictions, he passed Flamini.

Then he passed the ball to Petrov on the wing, Petrov took the ball and made a pass, and Shevchenko's shot slipped past the goal!

Goalkeeper Almunia broke out in a cold sweat!

mid-season.After Lehmann was injured, Almunia replaced him.But when Lehmann returned from injury, Almunia had already occupied the main position.

"Defense, gentlemen, pay attention to defense!" Wenger stood on the sidelines, clapping his hands to attract the attention of the players.

He is not satisfied with the team's defensive state.

For the core independent house, he cannot be allowed to play the ball easily.

But Flamini had a hard time.

Silva takes the ball again and faces Flamini.

On the offensive side, there will always be an advantage.Silva's advantage is that he is a player who plays with his brain. Although he has speed and skills, he always makes the best choice after rational judgment.

Although he avoids physical confrontation, he is not afraid of physical confrontation.

Silva's erratic movement made it very difficult for Flamini to defend.

Silva seems to be a free man all over the court. Duncan gave him a lot of tactical freedom. He is active in the frontcourt, left and right.

Even occasionally, they will retreat to support and let Hargreaves go up.

This made it very difficult for Flamini to mark up.

He has retreated to the backcourt, should he follow or not?

What if he and Hargreaves go forward at the same time?

And no matter where you go, the five-element formation circulates invisible, and the teammates around you will always subconsciously move around Silva.

Diaby tried to cooperate with Flamini several times and pushed Silva into a dead corner, but Silva and the players around him cooperated and easily got rid of the defense.

Silva attracted defensive firepower, but other positions were vacant.

Silva dribbled the ball down the left, drawing the defensive fire of three Arsenal players.Silva has not observed, but suddenly a long pass, the ball flew to the right, Trabelsi received the ball.

At this time, Arsenal, because of the existence of Silva, had a serious right-leaning formation, and there was a big gap on the left.

Trabelsi lightly dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Already in range!

Danger!

Arsenal's starting right-back Sarnia hurried over to defend.Even midfielder Cesc Fabregas ran over to help defend!

Trabelsi was very calm, he dunked the ball lightly, avoided Sagna's flying tackle, and then passed the ball across the middle!

Shevchenko and Samaras have already taken away Arsenal's double central defenders, and Arsenal's center is wide open!

Silva appeared in the middle like a ghost, and then pushed the ball lightly.

Almunia was out of reach, and the football flew diagonally into the far corner.

1: 0!

"Manchester City take the lead at home!"

"David Silva! This is his first goal for Manchester City!"

"Wide vision! Ghostly running! This goal is the best compliment to Silva's outstanding performance in this game!"

"Arsenal deployed a defensive lineup with three defensive midfielders in this game, but it is obvious that the players are not good at defense. The team's defense in the middle was wide open, which eventually led to conceding goals!"

"To be honest, the professor's formation in this game was a little conservative. They gave up their best offense and instead used their worst defense."

After losing the ball, Wenger scratched his head a little irritably.

Duncan's use of the Spaniard was very successful. He alone turned Arsenal's defense upside down, making his own defense overwhelmed.

Speaking of Spaniards, I also have one in my hand!

Fabregas!

Although Xiaofa is a midfielder, his energy lies in offense!

Thinking of this, Wenger waved at Xiaofa!

Press up and attack!

Xiaofa nodded.

The game resumed and Cesc Fabregas came alive, taking the ball in the middle and Hargreaves tracking it.To be honest, the way Silva dribbled the ball calmly just now made Fabregas very unconvinced.

This time it was Arsenal's turn to attack, and he also wanted to show it, so he flicked the ball sideways, intending to shake Hargreaves away with a feint.

But Hargreaves kept his eyes on the football and didn't fake it.

Xiaofa was helpless, unable to break through Hargreaves' defense, so he could only make a long pass directly to Walcott on the right.

Little Tiger waited for most of the first half, but he didn't have a chance to show. Xiaofa's ball came according to his speed. Only Walcott's speed could catch up, but with the blessing of the defensive five-element formation, Manchester City's five The defensive position is very reasonable.Hager didn't let Xiaofa break through, and Sun Jihai on the right didn't lose his position either. He stuck Walcott tightly to prevent the little tiger from adding up his speed.

Absolute speed Sun Jihai may not be the opponent, but when the body is entangled, Sun Jihai entangles him tightly, not letting the little tiger have any chance.

Football is finally out of the line!

Walcott waved his hand helplessly, and made a gesture: You take the time to pass again. If you pass like this, the opponent's defense is tight, and I can't catch it!

Xiaofa spread his hands, and I was also very helpless, the opponent's defensive position was very tight, and I couldn't make a pass!

With insufficient investment in offensive manpower, it is impossible to gain space by interspersed with running positions, and it is impossible to fight with smooth cooperation.

Because of this game, most of Arsenal's energy is spent on defense, and the number of troops invested in offense will naturally be much less.

With such a predicament, the first half ended and the two sides returned to the locker room.
