Chapter 372 The Returning Eastern Dragon

Many Premier League football commentators believe that Arsenal's decline since October is due to Wenger's lack of suitable midfielders, but in fact Wenger himself is very aware of the predicament the team is facing now.

Although Wenger emphasized the players' skills and overall coordination in Arsenal's training, in fact Wenger is still a coach with a center plot. Although there are many coaches with a center plot in the Premier League, after the 98 World Cup in France With the rise of the wave of technical football, pure frontcourt centers are rapidly decreasing, and more teams prefer players who can play many positions in the frontcourt. This is very similar to the situation in the NBA.

Wenger likes to have a center forward in his frontcourt who can not only destroy the city, but also pass the ball. For this reason, he is looking for the whole of Europe and even the world, but a good center is not available for Arsenal at all. It's not good, and it's quite uncomfortable to use, so Wenger has been very entangled. Originally, he wanted to make Henry a qualified center forward, but now it seems that Henry is still far behind.

When Liu Han was there, Wenger didn't realize how important this "part-time" player was to the team, but after losing Liu Han, Wenger found that Liu Han played such a huge role in the team, Liu Han The huge deterrence makes many teams dare not relax in the backcourt, and the formation does not dare to press too far forward, which makes many teams often lose touch with Arsenal.

The same thing happened in this game against AIK Solna of Sweden. The Nordic "pirates" intend to launch a counterattack against Arsenal. They are now one goal behind. If they want to participate in the Europa League, they must play in this game. They defeated Arsenal in the middle of the game, but Liu Han was always pressing on the Solna team's backcourt like a ghost. The tall defender of the Solna team had already seen the strength of this equally tall Eastern player, with his strong body. Can still have such good flexibility, Nordic players can't figure it out at all. In Arsenal's first goal, the big man from the East was almost in the middle of the tall Solna's defense line. Flexible movements are reminiscent of South American players.

Under such circumstances, a wide fracture zone appeared between the Solna team's back line and the midfield, which allowed Bergkamp and Henry behind Liu Han to have plenty of room to move.

As the overlord of the Swedish League, the Solna team has good strength, but they are not enough to face Arsenal, which is ranked second in the Premier League. Speed ​​is more dominant.

Vieira blocked the Solna team's offense continuously at the midfielder position, and the Nordics' offense is always somewhat lacking in agility.

In the 42 minutes of the game, Vieira stole the football again, and then passed it to Ljungberg on the left. Ljungberg stopped the ball and passed it directly to Bergkamp. Has already attacked the hinterland of the Solna team.

Because the midfield and the defense are somewhat out of touch, this allows Arsenal to calmly carry out tactical cooperation in Solna's frontcourt.

Bergkamp took the ball on the right side outside the penalty area. Liu Han suddenly started to slant into the Solna team's defense. Bergkamp immediately made a pick pass. The football flew over the head of the Solna team defender and fell to Liu Han. The front right side of Han's body.

In fact, Liu Han's position to catch the ball is a bit biased, and the defender of the Solna team next to him is sticking to Liu Han.Liu Han was secretly pulled by the hem of the jersey by the opponent during the run, which prevented Liu Han from completely getting rid of the opponent, but Liu Han still made preparations to shoot.

The moment Liu Han touched the ball with his right foot, the originally tense instep hooked upwards suddenly. The defender Solna, who was frightened by Liu Han's movement, couldn't stop the car and flew out from Liu Han's side. The football just passed over his head fly over.

Liu Han's pick was so clever that it not only fooled the opponent's close guard, but also allowed Liu Han to find the shooting space completely. The football that fell to the left side of Liu Han's body was kicked by Liu Han's outside foot. At the goal, the goalkeeper Solna had no time to make a save. The ball flew into the goal against the left post, and Liu Han scored twice.

This goal, which is a bit like Gascoigne's peerless goal in the 96 European Cup, excited the Arsenal players. Now they can look forward to their opponents in the second stage of the group stage.

The players of the Solna team shook their heads helplessly. It seems that their European competition this season is coming to an end. Players like Liu Han are basically unstoppable. At least the defenders of the Solna team think so. I even think that Liu Han is a bit too powerful. A player who can compete with them in physical strength is also so good at his feet. Solna's players admire Liu Han quite a lot. His two goals are very good. wonderful.

At the end of the first half, Wenger finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now as long as the score is maintained in the second half, Arsenal will enter the next stage of the Champions League.

During the half-time break, Wenger couldn't help but rang out the topic of Liu Han's position that he had discussed with his assistant coach Rice before. Some impulsive Wenger almost asked Liu Han to play in the midfield after the second half started, but considering After all, it is a very important game, and the team's upcoming schedule is still intensive, so it is necessary to ensure the health of the players, especially Liu Han, so Wenger dare not rashly change the team's tactical arrangements.

After the start of the second half, the Solna team slowed down their offensive. Since there is basically no hope of defeating Arsenal, it is unreasonable to continue to fight against the opponent's bayonet. Moreover, the Solna team suffered a defeat in this year's Swedish league. Gothenburg's strong challenge, so before the start of the winter break, Solna must secure the league lead.

Seeing that the opponent basically surrendered their guns, Wenger stopped aggressively and let the team continue to attack. Liu Han was replaced after 15 minutes of playing, and Henry continued to be pushed to the center position. Wenger trained him it's not finished yet.

Liu Han, who returned to the bench, accepted the congratulations from his teammates. At the same time, he began to inquire with his teammates about the recent changes in the team. When he heard that Ribery was sent back to the youth team after only one game, Liu Han Frowning a little, he was afraid that the kid would lose confidence again, and it seemed that he had to have a good chat with Frank immediately after returning.

When 10 minutes were up, the Spanish referee who was in charge of the game blew the whistle for the end of the game without even making stoppage time. The temperature near zero during the day in Stockholm in November made it difficult for the Spaniards to accept.

In the end, Arsenal beat their opponents [-]-[-] in this game. They will continue their Champions League schedule. Liu Han scored two goals in his first game back, which changed the team's decline.
