Chapter 414 Messi!

Once upon a time Arsenal!

There is only one card on the front line, Oliver Giroud, who is extremely cost-effective!

And what he wants to compare is a top striker like Luis Suarez!
Not to mention the two wingers, Messi, Neymar, Arsenal took the lead to play against Barcelona. Even though Arsene Wenger tried his best in that game, he had no choice but to lose and was beaten standing up. lethal!
But this time is different!

After investing a lot of money this season and introducing suitable players in various positions, Arsenal is already a team that cannot be ignored!
"Two teams enter the field one after another!"

"Enrique said something before the game!"

"They will score three goals at Arsenal's home ground to seal the game!"

"Judging from the crazy attack power of MSN and the miracle of defeating Paris before, what Enrique said is not a bluff, it is really possible!"

"So this game will be a difficult test for Arsenal's defense. Whether it can succeed or not depends on whether Arsenal's defense is safe enough!"

"In this game, Arsenal formed a formation of Van Dijk and Koscielny!"

"David Luiz was put on the bench. This rough Brazilian central defender has conceded a lot of goals this season because of his reckless temper!"

The game officially started, and the speed of the offensive and defensive transitions of the two teams was very fast, but the scene was a bit strange!
Arsene Wenger looks to Luis Enrique!
The Barcelona head coach who announced his resignation at the end of the season has been committed to building a defensive counterattack system in Barcelona. Although the formation in this game is 3 central defenders, it has become a 4-5-1 defensive formation when defending !

Luis Enrique also looked at Arsene Wenger!

The Arsenal coach is a legend in football and has always been committed to beautiful football, but in this game, Arsenal's defensive position is the same as him, and it is also a 4-5-1 formation!

The two silently observed each other's 4-5-1 defensive position, and soon saw the flaws!
"The sides are empty!"

Arsene Wenger squinted his eyes. No matter what formation, it is impossible to be perfect. If you are partial to attack and defense, you will have problems.
Barcelona's 4-5-1 defensive position seems safe, but it leaves a lot of space in depth!
With players like Chen Yuyuan, Arsenal has a lot of room to maneuver!

"So careless!"

The corner of Luis Enrique's mouth raised slightly, he deliberately left a deep space to guide Arsenal's position!
Let Arsenal leak Messi's position, so that Messi has a lot of space to operate!
This idea was good at first, but as the game progressed, Luis Enrique's face changed!
"We can see that Arsenal left Messi a lot of space when defending!"

"But after Messi got the ball, it was difficult to control the ball calmly without teammates around him to support him!"

"It's hard for teammates not to open up the depth and it's difficult to form an echo with Messi. When I return to the backcourt to hold the ball, three people rush forward to siege. At this time, the teammate closest to Messi is more than ten meters away!"

"Arsenal successfully isolated Messi, Barcelona seems to be quite active and took the initiative to send Messi in!"

Luis Enrique's face was a little dignified. Arsenal cut off the connection between his teammates and Messi.
Of course, he will not take the initiative to say this, Messi must be the best player, just like Ronaldo only scored 2 goals in the group stage, Real Madrid must also support it!
but!

Messi as the core of Barcelona's team!
There was too little running on the court in this game, I didn't feel in the state at all, and I wasn't excited enough when I mentioned it!

Simply put, it's like "walking"!
Moreover, Arsenal's pressing is too annoying!
Arsene Wenger perfectly took advantage of Granit Xhaka and Enlog Kanter's good running and strong fighting ability, but Enlog Kanter's pressing range almost covered Barcelona's frontcourt, high-position pressing , When the middle circle is oppressed!
This kind of running intensity is terrifying!
Simply outrageous!
Luis Enrique wondered if he was a robot!

Faced with such a violent midfield sweep, Barcelona's midfield has no way to have a decent organization. It happened that Messi was in the space, so he gave the ball to Messi to deal with!
Then, worse came!
When Messi has the ball, Enlog Kanter's main man-mark becomes Messi!

Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka began to retreat. Messi was free, but when his teammates couldn't get the ball, he could only take it by himself. After a few times, he found that Arsenal Na's 4-5-1 defensive position is in place!
It's like a crab's pincers are clamping Barcelona!
It's not that there is no way to crack it. Barcelona's current player configuration, as long as Busquets, Mascherano, and Rakitic start, then Barcelona's midfield pressure is fast enough, and there are still MSN on the line. beat!

But the problem is, none of these three people participated in this game!

The running ability, defensive strength, and success rate of defense in the midfield and backcourt have dropped by more than one level, and the speed of pressing forward is also very slow. By the time they start running, Arsenal will have already returned to defense!

In addition, Messi did not retreat for tactical reasons!

Barcelona is connecting the frontcourt, sorting out the direction of attack, and balancing offensive and defensive investment, let alone think about it!
Barcelona's embarrassment was exposed in front of the camera. Fans who don't understand football are still wondering how Barcelona played like this. Fans who understand football have already recalled the situation when Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain met for the first time!
It was exactly like this back then!
"Consume it!"

Luis Enrique had a sullen face, and he looked at Neymar. The Brazilian player who changed his life against the sky in the Paris Saint-Germain game will be the life-saving straw for Barcelona in this game!

Arsenal have invested so much on the defensive end, their attacking end!

Just rely on, Chen Yuyuan?

Luis Enrique attaches great importance to Chen Yuyuan, but Chen Yuyuan's situation is not the same as Messi's situation now!
Perhaps in terms of "ability", Barcelona is worse. After all, without Busquets, Mascherano, and Rakitic, Barcelona's midfielder may only be regarded as third-rate in this game!

But Arsenal's investment on the offensive end is there!
Both teams are betting on it!
Arsenal can only bet on Chen Yuyuan!
But Barcelona has MSN!

3V1
How does a Chen Yuyuan compare with Suarez, Neymar and Messi?
Arsene Wenger looked at Luis Enrique as if he had read his mind!
The opponent's thinking is generally okay, but is the team's offense just a problem with the striker?
