When the game started, it was discovered that Professor Wenger had indeed sent a main defensive formation in the away game.
Arsenal's position in this game was very clear. The midfielders Ramsey, Elneny, Coquelin, and Xhaka stood in parallel in the midfield, standing in front of the defense line, with Elneny in the middle And Coquelin, Ramsey and Xhaka on both sides.
In the front, Sanchez is at the top, and Ozil is behind him. From the position point of view, Arsenal has a 4411 position. Forward Sanchez and Ozil are behind him as a forward. The role of the waist, and in front of Chelsea, it is the back line plus the two lines of defense in the midfield.
In fact, when the game started, people discovered that even Sanchez and Ozil, who were in the front, actually had considerable defensive tasks.
"Professor Wenger made changes to Arsenal's formation in this game. Judging from the nearly 10 minutes from the start of the game to the present, Arsenal's arrangement for this game is obviously premeditated for a long time. Three lines, the distance between Arsenal is very good, in defense, Arsenal players are very active, from the beginning to now, Manchester United has not found a good chance to break through such a line of defense!" An Digory concluded 10 minutes into the game.
"I think for Manchester United, the combination of Ozil and Sanchez needs to be the most careful. Although Arsenal have not had a chance to counterattack since the start, if Manchester United concedes the ball in the frontcourt, it will give Arsenal a chance to counterattack. If so, Ozil's passing ability combined with Sanchez's speed and foot skills will be a big test for Manchester United's defense." Gary Neville added, "Ozil's creativity, combined with Sanchez's ability to attack the goal Offensive ability, this will be Arsenal's sharpest offensive weapon in this game."
Ancelotti watched for 10 minutes from the sidelines. He was a little surprised that Wenger chose such a lineup, but Ancelotti didn't take it seriously at first.
Intensive defense, it’s not like Manchester United haven’t dealt with it before. As soon as Wenger’s lineup was laid out, Ancelotti knew that the opponent was going to defend and counterattack. If he wanted to defend a draw, Wenger would definitely not play two attackers ahead.
Moreover, it is not realistic to stick to the tactics of nine 10 minutes-because the tactics need to be executed by the players, it is difficult for you to ensure that the players will maintain a high degree of concentration within nine 10 minutes.
But after watching these 10 minutes, Ancelotti could see a little bit of Wenger's thoughts.
When Pogba got the ball, Arsenal were quickly surrounded by players.
This is to open a breakthrough at Pogba's point!
When Pogba is playing on the court, he sometimes sticks to the ball, which is also a headache for Ancelotti.
Obviously Wenger also noticed this. In Wenger's view, a player like Pogba is a double-edged sword. look at yourself.
Wenger asked Arsenal's players to harass Pogba as much as possible to make him uncomfortable in midfield.It would be even better if Pogba can be confined to fighting against the Arsenal players.
Ancelotti frowned. Just after Pogba got the ball, he tried to forcefully break through the joint encirclement of Coquelin and Erneny, but failed. The ball is lost, otherwise, it would be too dangerous for Arsenal to fight back in this place! !
Ancelotti is considering whether to wait for the dead ball to hit Pogba to calm him down.
At this time, he saw Li Qingshan withdrawing from the front court, and after whispering a few words with Pogba, the situation on the court changed.
Li Qingshan and Pogba completed a switch. Obviously, Li Qingshan let Pogba go to the front, and Li Qingshan returned to the midfield to participate in the responsibility of organizing the pass.
Some excellent centers at the end of their careers, after their physical function declines, sometimes retreat back to play as a midfielder, organize frontcourt offense and so on.
The typical ones are former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney, Van Persie who is now playing in the Turkish Super League, and Paris Saint-Germain center Ibrahimovic, all of whom have the ability to play as a midfielder.
First of all, these old gunmen have rich experience in the game. They often know when and how to play, and they have played in the center position for a long time. , The ability to hold the ball is also very good, and they will not lose the ball easily, so many centers will change their way of playing at the end of their careers, but these are based on their rich game experience.
And Li Qingshan is only 23 years old now, a 23-year-old forward, when he retreats back, he can also connect the team's offensive organization as smoothly as a midfielder, which has to be said , Li Qingshan's golf quotient is indeed high.
And after such a change of position, Wenger's deliberate "encirclement and suppression of Pogba" tactic was declared bankrupt.
Li Qingshan's way of playing football is very concise, without a good opportunity, he will not easily choose to surpass others.
Erneny, Coquelin and others wanted to encircle Li Qingshan like they encircled Pogba at the beginning, throwing their guns to grab the ball at his feet.
However, after Li Qingshan retreated to the midfield, he did not choose to break forward with the ball. Instead, he kicked the ball consecutively. Manchester United quickly passed the ball in the midfield, and soon Coquelin and others were caught in the air.
In the 16th minute of the game, Li Qingshan suddenly turned the ball around after receiving a pass from Herrera. The sudden change of rhythm caught Arsenal's midfield defense by surprise. Before they surrounded him, Li Qingshan sent the ball to the front right One foot straight.
Mata didn't stop the ball while running, he pushed the ball directly with the arch of his foot and pushed the ball into the penalty area!
Pogba got the ball with his back inside the penalty area, and he made a fake forward breakthrough, which startled Mustafi, but Pogba stomped the ball and stopped it for nothing in the penalty area. , and then facing Koscielny's grab, Pogba made a move to pull the ball away, avoiding Koscielny's outstretched foot to grab the ball.
And just as Pogba pulled the ball away, he immediately flicked his ankle and knocked the ball with his heel!
The football passed between Koscielny's legs! !
"Beautiful!! Pass the ball through the crotch!!"
Li Qingshan has inserted into the restricted area in due course! !
Monreal retracted to defend, and Li Qingshan swung his right foot while running, looking like he was about to shoot! !
Monreal stretched out his foot, trying to block Li Qingshan's shot, and Cech was also ready to save! !
However, when Li Qingshan's right foot looked like he was about to shoot, he lightly dunked the ball with his right foot, and dunked the ball past Monreal, and then quickly connected with his left foot, pushing the arch of his foot, pushing the ball far away. Dead end.
Arsenal's players could only watch as the ball rolled slowly but surely into Arsenal's goal
A cooperation between two talented Manchester United players in the penalty area tore open the defense line carefully arranged by Professor Wenger! !
