Chapter 69 Self-defeating martial arts?

"After the opening, Milan's attack was very sharp, and it was a bit difficult for Arsenal to deal with it."

Zhan Jun analyzed:
"Judging from the 10 minutes of the game, Milan has brought the game to the rhythm they like, and Arsenal is obviously a little bit confused."

"Judging from the attack just now, Milan is also prepared. They first mobilized Arsenal's defense to one side, and then attacked the other side. This is also a trick often seen in Milan games this season."

"Salah's breakthrough cross is also very beautiful. And Milan's consecutive shots just now, if it weren't for the heroic performance of goalkeeper Szczesny, it might have broken the goal."

"But if it continues like this, how long can Arsenal persist? They must deal with it. Wenger must find an effective solution as soon as possible..."

On the sidelines, Wenger had already started yelling at the players.

He certainly knew that he needed to find a way to deal with Milan's frontcourt pressing.

His strategy is to let the two full-backs and full-backs go as far as possible to the side, close to the sideline.

This is to make full use of the width of the field, make the players' positions more scattered, and also increase the running distance of Milan players when pressing.

In doing so, it will virtually increase the time for Arsenal players to be sieged, and it will give them more time to plan their next move after getting the ball.

Such changes are clearly effective.

In the 18th minute of the game, Arsenal finally played their first threatening attack since the opening.

Arsenal got the ball in the backcourt, and Koscielny handed the ball to the right back "Factory Flower" Sagna.

Milan's two forwards, Aubameyang and Mane, rushed up quickly, but Sagna reacted quickly, sending a direct pass and passing the ball along the touchline to Milan's rear.

Walcott sprints forward as fast as he can, chasing the ball.

Walcott, who is known as the "little tiger", in terms of absolute speed, Milan's Salah and Mane, who are known for their speed, may not be opponents.

Gattuso came up with a tackle, but it was already a step too late. Walcott strode the ball towards the penalty area and prepared to cut inside.

At this time, Milan's Van Dijk was already in front of him.

Walcott dribbled the ball forward slowly, while doing feints, preparing to shake the tall Dutch central defender.

But Van Dijk was unmoved, his eyes fixed on the ball at Walcott's feet, and he was fighting and retreating, leaving Walcott no room to accelerate and buying time for his teammates to defend.

Soon, full-back Zambrotta also arrived and began to pinch Walcott.

In desperation, Walcott could only choose to shoot immediately.

Van Dijk, with quick eyes and quick feet, stretched his legs and blocked the ball out of the penalty area.

The San Siro fans obviously understand the ball, and they also gave warm applause to Van Dijk's wonderful textbook defense.

In fact, the introduction of Van Dijk this season has made all Milan fans feel that they have found a treasure.

This big guy with a height of more than 1.9 meters has a strong body, amazing jumping, and excellent headers. He is completely a template for an excellent central defender.

His tower-like body, supplemented by the combination of aggressive defensive actions, often makes the opponent's offensive players mess up.

What's even more rare is that his defense is stable, he will not rush the ball or gamble defense, even when facing a lot of defensive pressure, his brain is still clear and he knows what he should do.

He is also very fast. In this season's game, he has chased back from the midfield many times, and finally destroyed the opponent's single-handed experience in high-intensity physical confrontation.

At the same time, he has good personal skills as a striker. He is good at dribbling forward and has a very good long pass.

With such a comprehensive central defender, Milan's defense line this season is really stable, which is the key to why they can often seal opponents.

And this, of course, is ultimately due to Pan Yi's "wisdom eyes and pearls".

Now, this young assistant coach who has opened his eyes has also stood up and shouted with Allegri from the sidelines:

"Well done, Van Dijk!"

"Everyone played well, come on!"

"Watch out for their flanks, they're wide open now!"

"The striker should press faster, and the midfielder should also help, don't let them play the ball easily!..."

That's the game.

If you see a problem here, you have to solve it.

Seeing that the other side is solving the problem, they must also solve the problem of solving the problem.

Tactical restraint, anti-restraint, anti-anti-restraint.

The coach is constantly playing tactical games on the sidelines, and the players on the field are also playing games in every passing, passing, shooting and stealing.

In the process of the game, there are many unpredictable random factors mixed in, resulting in various results in different directions.

This is the charm of the world's number one sport.

Soon, AC Milan once again took control of the situation.

After what Walcott barely counted as a shot on goal, Arsenal were once again pushed back into their own half.

However, Arsenal's four midfielders are positioned in parallel, plus four defenders, the overall defense is still kept very compact, and it does not leave much room for Milan players.

This also brought the game into a stalemate.

Milan controlled the scene and rhythm, and formed an overwhelming advantage over Arsenal, but there were not many threatening offenses, and they failed to form a goal for a long time.

"Hold on. Hold on a little longer."

On the sidelines, Wenger's fists were clenched.

He knows that now is the critical moment of the game.

Although Arsenal is passive, if Milan keeps attacking and fails to succeed, then Arsenal may usher in a turning point.

Being unable to attack for a long time is often the most vulnerable time for a team.

They will be impatient, lament luck, and even doubt whether the coach's tactics are appropriate.

Especially for a young team like Milan.

Make a vigorous effort, then weaken it, and exhaust it three times.

Wenger also knows the ancient truth of the Dragon Kingdom.

So Wenger believes that as long as he holds on for another ten minutes, Milan's breath will be vented.

On the court at this time, it seems that Wenger's view is also confirmed.

Milan's central attack passed the ball to Aubameyang's feet.

After Aubameyang leaned on Scocielny, he wanted to throw the ball back to the midfielder, but the action was too obvious, and Arteta, who came to help defend, destroyed the ball first.

Milan's offense suffered another setback.

Wenger nodded secretly: "Fortunately, Milan didn't play Ibrahimovic. Otherwise, with his strength of confrontation and ability to hold the ball with his back, he must not lose this kind of ball so easily."

Although he didn't quite understand Milan's thinking, Wenger was also secretly grateful for their bad decision.

Now Milan is attacking and Arsenal is defending, but Milan has taken the initiative to remove the battering ram like Ibrahimovic. Isn't it self-defeating martial arts?

Wenger thought to himself: "It seems that the coaching staff of Milan, which has been blown up like a god, also has omissions..."
