Chapter 378 Free Man Liu Han

After the north London derby with Tottenham, Arsenal got a rare chance to rest. They will have 12 days of rest. The next game will not be played until November 11. Although there are national Team match day, but it has little impact on the Arsenal team. Except for a limited number of players who will participate in some warm-up matches and European Cup qualifiers, others will not leave. The most important thing is that Liu Han will not leave. Leaving, now Wenger's reliance on Liu Han in the frontcourt can be seen from the last game.

Since playing the midfielder in the Charity Shield Cup, Liu Han has been placed in the center position by Wenger. From the very beginning, he quickly became the first choice for Arsenal's striker with his excellent physical fitness and good competitive state. Kanu went to the bench, and Liu Han's scoring rate is very high. After fourteen rounds of the Premier League, he ranked first in the scorer list with 15 goals, and Liu Han actually participated in the number of league matches. It was 8 games, which means that he almost scored two goals in every game.

In the Champions League, Arsenal also relied on Liu Han's outstanding performance to advance to the next stage of the game, and 7 goals in four games made the whole of Europe tremble.

However, after the last game against Tottenham, Wenger had a new idea. He has been regretting that the team does not have a suitable metronome. Pettit and Grimandi have their own flaws. Veteran Parlor is more stable than aggressive, and the team is still playing the popular tactics of the Premier League, which is inconsistent with Wenger's thinking.

In Wenger's way of thinking, his team should be a whole, the tactics of the midfield and the frontcourt should be unified with the tactics of the backcourt, and the whole team should be one way of thinking, but not to mention the backcourt now, more needs to be done. More reformation, and the midfield is more about simple cooperation, which is not what Wenger wants. He hopes to build Arsenal into a unique technical team in the Premier League. The fit should be smoother and more dominant, but Wenger has been unable to find the right fit.

Wenger's scouts have been looking for suitable seedlings in major youth training bases in Europe, and Ribery is just an incidental discovery.

But now Wenger's search can be slowed down a little bit. He has found the most suitable metronome for the team. No, not only the metronome, but even the engine and gearbox. A versatile machine for large-caliber artillery, Liu Han's attributes fit this feature very well.

After Liu Han joined Arsenal, Wenger attached great importance to Liu Han's training, because the opponent did not receive professional player training since he was a child, so most of the training arranged for Liu Han at the beginning was based on basic training.

Later, the team's coaching staff found that Liu Han's learning ability and training attitude were perfect. He quickly practiced most of the basic movements of football, and he could make good use of them in the game. Therefore, the training of Liu Han in the future is more about cultivating his technical and tactical level and watching more game videos, hoping to develop his sense of the ball as soon as possible. This kind of training plan is based on years, but when Liu Han starts from After returning from a month in Asia, the coaching staff found that he had developed his own sense of the ball. It is even more exaggerated to say that his current technical level is not weaker than some top players.

At this level, Liu Han began to show his adaptability on the court. After the game against Tottenham, Wenger found the video of Liu Han returning to Asia to participate in the game. Although overall, the tactical level of the game at that time It's not high, and the players are all third-rate, but the coach of the Chinese team used Liu Han very boldly. The retro free man tactics in the frontcourt allowed Liu Han to play [-]% of his ability. He can go from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area , From defense to offense to control the entire game process, this inspired Wenger a lot, and even said that Liu Han in Arsenal's lineup only needs to show his ability in the midfield.

So before the start of the No.15 Premier League game against Middlesbrough, Wenger arranged for Liu Han to implement the free man tactics in the frontcourt. It can be more abundant, because their formation can change at any time, it can be 433 at the top of attack, or 442 to control the midfield, and even Bergkamp can retreat to play 451, and they can also form double rears at critical moments The waist strengthens the defense. In short, under Wenger's arrangement, the central axis of the entire midfield is Liu Han's range of activities.

Although there are several players in the midfield who are not satisfied with this arrangement, such as Wenger’s French compatriot Pettit, Wenger still insists on the players to implement such tactics. As for Pettit, he is no longer satisfied. No longer a player in Wenger's plans.

Liu Han himself is also satisfied with Wenger's arrangement, because although he is the most threatening in the frontcourt, it also means that he is under the greatest defensive pressure. At the same time, it is difficult for Liu Han to get the ball in the frontcourt. In the past, Liu Han, who was not very skilled in football, was acceptable, but now, Liu Han is thinking about how to control the football under his feet all the time.

On November 11th, the No.20 round of the Premier League kicked off, and Arsenal played against Middlesbrough at home.

In this game, Wenger played his usual 433 formation, Liu Han seemed to be at the top, but in fact, only Arsenal players knew that this was just Wenger's cover. Vimars and Grimandi, Ljungberg were suspended for one game because they were sent off in the last game.The striker is still a combination of Henry and Bergkamp.

The game entered Arsenal's rhythm from the very beginning, and Liu Han directly retreated to the midfield to catch the ball, making all Middlesbrough's arrangements useless.

Liu Han, who has the ball at his feet, shows his overall view. Middlesbrough set up a double midfielder because they value Liu Han, but there is indeed a three-back formation on the back line, which makes their defense on the side have loopholes. Liu Han Keenly grasped this point and played a wonderful cooperation with Overmars, who cut inside and scored the first goal. At this time, the game started less than 15 minutes ago.

The entire game then became Arsenal's tactical training session. Under Liu Han's organization, Arsenal frequently played wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt, and Middlesbrough's defense was riddled with holes.

Liu Han scored a long shot 5 minutes after Overmars scored, and then assisted Bergkamp to score with a low shot in the penalty area. Arsenal had a three-goal advantage in the first half.

The second half of the game was still under the control of Arsenal. Henry scored again after going through a scoring drought of more than ten games. Although this was not a direct assist from Liu Han, it was indeed initiated by Liu Han in midfield. attack.

Liu Han was replaced in the 68th minute of the game, but Arsenal's goal was still not over. Less than 3 minutes after Middlesbrough scored a goal in the melee, Overmars broke through again with a long shot. Help Arsenal beat Middlesbrough five-to-one.

After the game, Wenger's "new tactics" and Liu Han's "new position" became the focus of media attention. Today, modern football is increasingly emphasizing positions, but there are still retro libero tactics, which makes many professionals Everyone was very surprised.
