Chapter 234 Emirates Stadium
April 4, the day of the Champions League quarter-finals.
In fact, since the national derby victory, Zidane and his assistants have been studying Arsenal's game.
Originally, Bertoni wanted to invite Wang Yi to discuss it together. After all, Wang Yi played for Arsenal last season and was an absolute core player of the team, so calling him would definitely help.
But it was rejected by Zidane. First, he didn’t want to affect the players’ normal preparation status. Second, Arsenal had changed too much this season. Let’s not talk about external changes, but only about personnel changes. In total, a total of 7 players were introduced.
"Bertoni, they spent a total of 2.9 million euros and bought 7 players. Except for Higuain who seemed to have performed poorly in the first half of the season, the other new players performed very well. Wenger was really good before. No money, but it can also be seen that his coaching ability is extremely good. In short, this game is definitely not easy for us to play, and we cannot underestimate the enemy. Their current offense may not be as good as ours, but their midfield defense is still very good. "
"Zizou, wait, have you noticed a problem with Arsenal this season, the Van Dijk they introduced in the winter window is indeed very good, but have you noticed that this is a player who doesn't like to rob , he prefers to retreat to get in position and then go up, sorry, I mean, he doesn't like to take the initiative, and his partner Koscielny is a player who is willing to take the initiative. It is indeed a good match. But we can start with Koscielny. He plays left center back and is with Sandro. Sandro's typical offense is stronger than defense. Wang Yi is here. On the other side, Bellerin can break through completely, and Bellerin on the right, to be honest, I don’t know why they didn’t buy a right back. Bellerin’s talent is indeed good, but his immediate combat power is obviously the worst in this defense line. One ring, Ronaldo on the left can definitely challenge him.
As for their defensive midfielder Kanter, it is true that the defensive ability is very good and the coverage is very large. In front of him are Vidal and Ramsey, but this kind of combination is difficult to compare with us. "
Zidane looked at Betoni and talked freely. In fact, he already had such an idea in his heart, but it doesn't hurt to listen to what his old friend said.
After all, Zidane is the top midfielder, and he has long judged the problem of Arsenal's midfielder.
"Vidal is a player who likes to press and has a strong impact, and he is also very willing to insert assists, and Ramsey, I don't know if he has transformed or what is going on, this season he likes to hit the center. Behind him, to be a second striker, but the problem is that the current Arsenal often changes between 442 and 433, and becomes 442, that is, Costa and Higuain play together, and then Sterling receives the position of the right forward, and the left Vidal is the midfielder, Ramsey and Kanter are in the middle, but Kanter is in the back, and Rams often goes forward. Although Dahl plays the left midfielder, he has to stand in the position of the left midfielder after all. , He often returns to the midfield, which directly leads to Arsenal's left, which is the side of our right Wang Yi's main attack, which can easily hit in front of Sandro.
I don't know why Wenger didn't let Sanchez come and play as a left midfielder. Maybe it's because of his poor organizational skills?But at present, if they play 442, we have two of the world's strongest wings, and they can definitely hit them. "
Zidane nodded. The three players in Arsenal's midfield are definitely good players, but when they are combined together, there is no one who plays the role of a midfield commander, and there is no one to schedule transfers.
There may not be such a role, but if the three players in the midfield all have the pressing attribute, and if two of them especially like to go forward, they must have a midfield commander.
Otherwise, the team's long pass will be difficult to play out. You can't expect Kanter to tackle and pass the ball again.
But Zidane also knows that although so many shortcomings of Arsenal have been mentioned, there are also many advantages of Arsenal.
But this is a typical example of despising the enemy strategically and paying attention to the enemy tactically.
Zidane and the coaching team attach great importance to Arsenal. The coaching team has watched all the Arsenal games this season at least twice.
Basically just look at it separately.
So when the game officially started, Zidane's behavior was to remain unchanged and respond to all changes. The strong will always insist on being themselves and repel the opponent.
"This exciting quarter-final of the Champions League is officially underway with players from both teams on the pitch.
We can hear that there are indeed many fans named Wang Yi at the scene, and there are many billboards holding Wang Yi's head, but after all, there are not many of them. After all, it has only been half a year, and the yearning will deepen with time. Yes, it has only been more than half a year now, and the bond between Arsenal and Wang Yi has not yet settled down. "
It may be that the narrator also feels that he has said too much.
"Next, let's introduce the starting lineups of both sides.
Real Madrid still have the same starting lineup, goalkeeper Keylor Navas, defense line Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal, midfielder Modric, Kroos and Casemiro, frontcourt trident It's Wang Yi, Ronaldo and Benzema. "
"As for Arsenal's starting lineup, they still chose a 442-[-]-[-] formation in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The goalkeeper is Ospina, and the defense line from left to right is Sandro, Koscielny, and Van Dijk. With Bellerin, the midfield is Ramsey, Vidal, Sterling and Kante, and the front two strikers are naturally Diego Costa and Higuain."
Both sides have old friends, so the handshake before the game is naturally a three-way handshake and hug.
Wang Yi and good friends Ramsey and Bellerin shook hands and hugged each other.
But to be honest, this Arsenal team has changed so much that Wang Yi can't believe it. Now there are 7 players on the field who are all new players. He doesn't know each other. Only 4 players from last season are left. Veteran.
In this game, Real Madrid kicks off first.
Wang Yi was standing by the line on the right, and he looked up at the stands.
Well, have your own jersey, have your own signboard.
Looks like the fans won't forget me so quickly.I just don't know if they will remember me after this game.
A whistle blows, and the game officially begins.
Wang Yi still has a lingering lingering memory.
But at this time, the ball has been passed.
As Zidane said in the pre-match meeting, Vidal was not used to standing on the wing, so he turned inward.
With just such a subconscious adduction, Wang Yi went straight to the right and came to Sandro.
Sandro himself did not expect the opponent to be in front of him within a few dozen seconds of the start of the game.
