Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 165 Playing a Skilled Team?We are familiar with this matter! [Please subscribe! 】

Li Ang, who started warming up smoothly at the Emirates Stadium with his teammates, probably couldn't have imagined it either.

He was in a good mood and greeted the reporters, but it was directly written into the news, and it was also a hot search in English football.

Fortunately, he did not choose to backhand when he was compared to "V", otherwise the British media might dare to label him as "discriminating against Arsenal".

To a certain extent, the journalists in England are indeed better than those in Spain.

No, the game hasn't started yet, and with a round of publicity and hype, the British media is definitely at the top level in Europe.

UEFA executives are now smiling when they see the news.

Last night, Juventus and Celtic, Paris Saint-Germain and Valencia's two knockout games were discussed more heatedly.

It is far less popular than tonight's matchup between Real Madrid and Arsenal!
The propaganda efforts of the British media are not covered.

Regardless of whether Milan and Barcelona agree or not, they directly gave Real Madrid and Arsenal the title of the most exciting matchup in the quarter-finals.

Don't many people who eat melons just like to follow the trend and watch a gimmick.

Many followers, whether they are fans or not, turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast tonight.

Before the game even started, as soon as UEFA's live broadcast source was turned on, the ratings data began to skyrocket!

Fans in Huaguo also turned on the TV or computer at three o'clock in the morning in pain and excitement.

But tonight not all fans chose to watch the UEFA Champions League live broadcast on the five channels they are most familiar with.

A considerable number of old Premier League fans chose to open the live broadcast room of Sina Sports and watch the Champions League matches on their computers.

And their reasons for watching Sina Sports Live are also very unified.

Because of Zhan Jun.

Since returning to China to join Sina Sports in September last year, Zhan Jun has been known by more and more domestic fans with his professional knowledge reserve and excellent commentary ability.

If you want to say that in the past, most domestic fans had no choice to watch games. There is no better free platform other than Wutai.

But now with the gradual popularization of computers, some domestic fans naturally want to pursue a better audio-visual experience.

This is not to say that He Wei and Duan Xuan are not good enough, but Wutai often let them lead people.

It's also good to bring a guide Zhang at ordinary times.

But seeing that Xu Yang is partnering with Duan Xuan tonight, many fans who can watch football on the computer are naturally more inclined to watch Zhan Jun and Xie Hui's partner commentary.

The difference in the level of understanding of the game can be heard at the beginning.

In the Sina Sports Studio late at night, with the start of the live broadcast, Zhan Jun and Xie Hui were also full of energy to introduce the opening remarks to the fans.

As the players began to appear with the referee team, Zhan Jun also told the fans about the performance of the two teams recently to introduce the status of the two teams without hesitation.

"...Arsenal only drew one match against Liverpool in the last three rounds of the league. Facing Stoke City and Sunderland, Arsenal won relatively stable victories. The current state of the entire team is improving rapidly. pick up.

Before the game, Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger also said that he is quite satisfied with the team's preparations and is confident that he can play an efficient offensive and defensive performance at home. "

"Yes, with the advancement of the second half of the Premier League season, Arsenal's state is indeed improving visible to the naked eye.

But facing Real Madrid today, the psychological pressure on the Arsenal players should still be relatively high, I hope they can maintain a good mentality while playing tactical style.”

The two chatted about Arsenal's recent team status, then changed the subject and soon talked about Real Madrid and Leon.

At the beginning of January, at the end of the FIFA annual awards ceremony, the entire Huaguo sports circle rejoiced because Li Ang entered the top [-] of the Golden Globe Awards!
In fact, relying on Li Ang to shine alone is hardly the overall progress of the entire Asian football.

However, the birth of such a record is self-evident for the entire Huaguo and Asian football.

At least there is Li Ang, the new banner of Asian players after Park Ji-sung.

All the real fighters who are engaged in the football career on this ground in Asia will get more motivation.

Xie Hui is one of the doers who really want to put their feet on the football career down-to-earth.

He is still studying in Germany. He wanted to rest for two months when he returned to China recently, and then returned to Germany to continue his coaching courses.

But when he received an invitation from Sina Sports to commentate on the match between Real Madrid and Arsenal, he agreed without saying a word.

Recently, he is interested in learning more about Li Ang's previous youth training experience and loan training process.

He is also willing to accept the opportunity to comment on Li Ang's important games with a professional commentator like Zhan Jun.

Regarding Real Madrid's current tactical style, their discussion is just a taste, otherwise there would be too much to talk about, and the fans may not be willing to listen.

However, when it came to talking about Real Madrid's recent record and boasting about Leon, they had a great time talking, and the fans were also very happy to hear it.

It wasn't until the players on both sides finished the opening ceremony and the captains of the two sides began to fight for the right to choose sides, that Zhan Jun seized the time to explain the formation of the starters who appeared in the live broadcast.

"...so on the Arsenal side, today's starting XI looks like this:

The goalkeeper is Polish goalkeeper Szczesny.

In the position of central defender, the German international Mertesacker will partner with the French central defender Koscielny, the left back is Vermaelen, and the right back is Sagna.

Five players including Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Rosicki and Podolski are included in the midfield!
The starting striker is high center forward Giroud.

For Arsenal, they made a big adjustment to their starting lineup today, the tiger Walcott was on standby, maybe Wenger wanted him to be a substitute

"

"For Real Madrid, Iker Casillas is still the starting goalkeeper today.

In terms of central defenders, the partner of Ramos and Pepe is the absolute first choice for Mourinho, with left back Coentraang and right back Aveiroa.

At the midfield end, Harvey Alonso and Leon dragged behind, Modric served as a central midfielder, and Ronaldo and Di Maria were on both sides of Modric.

On the front line is Benzema riding alone.

There is not much starting adjustment for Real Madrid, and Mourinho's formation today is still very stable. "

After Zhan Jun finished his introduction, Xie Hui added:
"Both teams chose a starting formation of [-]-[-]-[-]-[-] today, but Ronaldo and Di Maria on Real Madrid's side can advance to the front line at any time. In contrast, Arsenal's side A midfield of five should be more inclined to control the ball."

"Yes, Real Madrid should still pursue quick counterattacks and space pressure. This is also the offensive and defensive tactics that Real Madrid is best at now."

Li Ang in the field glanced at Cazorla who was standing opposite him, and subconsciously smiled again.

Cazorla looked at Li Ang and grinned, even though there was a little kindness in the smile of seeing an "old acquaintance", but also a little helpless.

In Villarreal last season and in Malaga last season, Cazorla and Leon have played against each other four times in the past two years.

Three times in La Liga and once in the Copa del Rey.

These four fights made Cazorla's impression of Li Ang very deep.

In fact, the two hadn't faced each other very often. After all, Casorado was active on the side at that time, and Li Ang's main targets were mostly players who played in the middle.

But just the pressure of Li Ang's flank defense has made Cazorla unforgettable.

Anyway, Cazorla didn't expect that he would transfer to Arsenal this season, and he could still play against Real Madrid and Li Ang.

At this moment, he could only say one sentence in his heart.

Damn fate!

With the whistle of the referee, the Champions League battle started on time, and Zhan Jun's voice sounded at the right time.

"In the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals of the 12-13 season, the first leg match between Real Madrid and Arsenal has begun! Directed by Xie Hui and Zhan Jun, we will send you a live commentary of the game on Sina Sports Video!
In this game, Real Madrid players wore dark blue away jerseys, while Arsenal wore classic red and white home jerseys! "

Xie Hui saw that Li Ang, who was the first to initiate an offensive test, started to advance with the ball, and the tone of the commentary subconsciously became high:

"Li Ang is now controlling the ball and trying to push forward. Cazorla first presses over to defend and interfere with Li Ang's speed! Overcome Cazorla's interference and split the ball to the right!"

Real Madrid did not attack with a long pass first. Instead, Li Ang made a bold attempt to advance with the ball from his own half.

Cazorla didn't stop Li Ang at the first time, which surprised Arteta who was delayed.

But at the moment when he pressed before leaving, Li Ang decisively scored the ball.

Arbeloa, who was plugged in from the edge, rushed past Arsenal's right midfield defense line with almost no delay!
This made the Arsenal home fans, whose buttocks were still hot, bounce off their seats quickly!

At the moment when he was about to face Arsenal left-back Vermaelen, Arbeloa knocked the ball across.

Modric, who kept up with the response, quickly distributed the ball to the center, perfectly avoiding the defensive double-teaming of Arteta and Koscielny who were chasing back.

And Li Ang, who was already in place at the moment, also directly picked the football to Arsenal's penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who inserted obliquely into Arsenal's penalty area, was about to grab a little bit for the top, but he hit a "wall".

It was the 1.9-meter-eight Mertesacker who came up to compete with Ronaldo for a little bit!

The frontal interception ability of the German central defender is really outrageous. No matter how Ronaldo can jump, he can't do anything against Mertesacker who is standing in the defensive position this time.

Mertesacker used his height advantage to push the ball back to the midfield first, but there was not much joy on his face.

He started yelling loudly, reminding his teammates that they must enter the game state at this time.

And Arsenal's midfield players, who were stunned by Real Madrid's opening fast offensive tactics before, will also be refreshed.

It's really impossible to truly appreciate the strength of Real Madrid today without playing against each other.

When watching the video of the match between Real Madrid and Dortmund before, they really felt that the rhythm of the two teams was very fast, and the tactical contest was also full.

But at the end of the day, it's just sitting in front of a screen and watching a video.

The Arsenal players were vigilant in their hearts, but they couldn't personally realize how fast the two teams were playing at that time.

Now they finally feel it.

After recovering, I just felt cold sweat all over my back!
The opening blitz didn't work out, and the Real Madrid players certainly felt it was a pity, but their speed of returning to defense was not slow at all.

Li Ang waited for Ronaldo for a while while retreating, and the two did not have much direct verbal communication.

Li Ang looked at Mertesacker, and then at Ronaldo. Ronaldo pursed his lips and shook his head, and Li Ang made a "three" gesture.

After receiving Ronaldo's nod of approval, Li Ang had no problems, turned around and returned to his own half, and had a brief exchange with Modric on the way.

This scene made many commentators and fans in front of the TV interested.

The communication between the two was straightforward and tacit, and it seemed that there was a tactical plan.

If Ronaldo's grabbing points were faster than Mertesacker's grabbing positions before, will Li Ang communicate with Ronaldo to use "No. [-]" or "No. [-]" offensive tactics?

Xie Hui looked at Mourinho who was standing upright in the live broadcast camera, and his tone was full of interest.

"Mourinho seems to be well prepared today! I think there are more than three offensive tactical plans alone!"

As soon as his words fell, Arsenal launched a counterattack in the midfield, but Real Madrid's midfield defense has been completely set up.

Ronaldo and Di Maria then returned to the center line and guarded the two wings. Modric and Benzema interfered with Arsenal's ball holders one after the other.

Li Ang will stand apart from Alonso one after the other.

The defensive positions of Real Madrid's various players are very solid, and their cooperation with each other is also very skillful.

When Arsenal's midfielders were in possession of the ball, Real Madrid had no intention of pressing forward to grab the ball at all, which forced Arsenal to invest more forces on the offensive end.

But at the moment when Arsenal finally broke into the hinterland of Real Madrid's half after spending four or five minutes, Li Ang moved!

When Modric was chasing Cazorla, Li Ang also stepped up to cooperate with Modric to double-team.

At this time, Cazorla quickly gave the ball to Rosicky who was in front of him on the right. Li Ang also dropped Cazorla directly, turned his head and ran towards Rosicky!

Ramsey, who had just crossed the center line at this moment, saw Li Ang's pursuit clearly.

His first reaction was "Quick!"

This does not refer to Li Ang's absolute speed, but to Li Ang's explosive acceleration!

Compared with absolute speed, Podolski, who Arsenal started today, is much faster than Li Ang.

But compared to the explosive acceleration, Ramsey felt that Prince Polti could not even compare to Leon!
Rosicky is still observing the running positions of Podolski on the left and Giroud who is further forward. As a result, before he can send the pass, a strong force hits from his side!
The ball is lost first, and then the whole person's position is squeezed out!

Rosicky didn't have much defense, so he staggered and fell on the turf!

But in his amazed look back, he could only see the back of a dark blue No. [-] leading the ball away!
"Li Ang——! Good shot! Li Ang's beautiful chase and steal! Rosicky is still careless, and he can't think for so long when Li Ang is chasing back. Li Ang scored the ball again! Modric!"

In Zhan Jun's high-pitched commentary, another quick counterattack by Real Madrid has already started.

After receiving the ball from Li Ang's diagonally behind, Modric chose to boldly continue to advance before the return speed of all Arsenal members was up!

In fact, he likes this exciting offensive feeling very much.

And facing Arsenal also gave him more desire to attack.

Even though the teammate on his front left is no longer the lightning-fast Bale, Real Madrid's overall counterattack speed is much faster than Tottenham!

In just two or three seconds, almost all Real Madrid players were around Modric!

This represented an increase in his passing opportunities and options, but Modric did not send the dangerous ball quickly.

He began to move sideways, forcing Arteta, who was lagging behind, to move closer to him.

And at this time in front of him, Ronaldo, who has been pegged by Sagna and Mertesacker again, seems to have no threat.

But when almost all Arsenal fans breathed a sigh of relief, Modric passed the ball!
Li Ang, who once again took the lead in the middle of Arsenal, became the focus of the audience at the moment!

Without Arteta in the middle, Cazorla and Ramsey were still chasing desperately one meter away from Li Ang!

No one in the Arsenal midfield can stop Li Ang from facing the penalty area!
A multiple-choice question was placed in front of the Arsenal defenders, press out, intercept Li Ang's dribble, or continue to retreat, betting that Li Ang is not capable of handling this offensive opportunity by himself?
Mertesacker stared at Ronaldo, gritted his teeth and chose not to go out.

But Koscielny saw that Li Ang had adjusted his starting point outside the penalty area, as if he was about to take a long shot, but he couldn't be as cruel as his partner.

Koscielny left the penalty area, but Li Ang's right foot, which seemed to be about to hit the goal, turned into a push, pushing the football to the right side of Arsenal's slightly empty penalty area!

Vermaelen was restrained by Benzema's running position and could not return to his defense zone immediately.

Di Maria successfully slanted to lead the ball, and in the next moment, he directly chose to shoot with his left foot!
With almost no one marking, the quality of Di Maria's rubbing shots is quite high.

Even though Szczesny rushed to the far corner immediately, Di Maria's shot was too close to the goal and the angle was too tricky!

Poland's national goal failed to touch the football, and he knew very well that he could not even touch the ball.

This feeling made him very powerless!

But in this meeting, his first reaction was not to lose the ball, but the time of the game!
"Is there 6 minutes since the game started?"

Perhaps in response to Szczesny's inner question, the commentator of Sky Sports exclaimed the moment the football entered the net!
"The 6th minute of the first half! God! Just after the 6th minute of the game, Real Madrid broke through the gate of Arsenal! And this is their second blitz attempt in this game!!!"

The surprised and disappointed British Sky Sports commentator could only use exclamation to cover up his emotions.

But in the Sina Sports studio at this moment, Zhan Jun and Xie Hui began to shout excitedly without any concealment!

"Leon assisted Di Maria to break through the gate of Arsenal! Ronaldo and Benzema are the bait in this attack! Modric scored in time, and Leon played beautifully! Arsenal's defense was given by Real Madrid Lied it!"

"Can't afford the high ball, go to the ground to counterattack quickly, even Ronaldo is used as a tactical bait! Mertesacker may not have thought that this is Real Madrid's 'No. [-] tactic'! Look at how happy Ronaldo will laugh !"

The two almost stood in line in the studio to celebrate.

But on the field at this moment, Li Ang was already laughing and hugging his teammates to celebrate!
They somewhat did not expect the goal to come so early.

Arsenal is looking at the tactics of central control and offensive penetration today.

This style of play is actually not bad. Compared with current technical teams, such as Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​Arsenal can actually play.

After all, in terms of technology, Arsenal's midfielder is absolutely top-notch.

If they fight for possession of the ball, they will not be in vain.

But today's Arsenal midfield has a problem that is too serious.

Perhaps it was because of last season's results that the professor didn't have much sense of crisis, and he didn't make targeted transfers during last summer window and this year's winter window.

Arsenal's waist is still not hard enough!
Arteta can be a metronome, a speed changer, but definitely not a meat grinder.

Even though his current defense looks good, he is still not a defensive beast.

And playing against such a technical team with a flawed lineup, Real Madrid can't be better at it!
At the beginning, the Real Madrid players were indeed prepared to defend for a while.

But after testing out the defensive strength of Arsenal's midfield, they no longer hesitated.

Forcibly rushing to the middle and tearing through the line of defense is over!

Mourinho was also smiling at this meeting, standing on the sidelines and applauding in relief.

While applauding, Mourinho also muttered words.

"That's right, play in the middle of Arsenal, play in the middle of Arsenal today!"

　This will finally make up for today's [-]-word update.

　　Alas, the foodie quarreled all night with his old father who came to the city today.

　　All I can say is, exhausted.

　　There are too many places to talk about.

　　This will send the old father away at the station, and also finish typing the last word.

　　When I was in the provincial capital, I felt very tired because of work.

　　But now back to the county seat, it is not easy for foodies to find out, because of family affairs.

　　Borrow some money next month and give the house down payment first.

　　Foodies can't convince their parents, and now they can only follow their ideas.

　　In fact, foodies are not too old, but according to their parents, they seem to have reached the age when they must start a family.

　　Alas, I will be sitting in the station, feeling very complicated, and nagging a bit, I hope the bosses don't blame me.
