Chapter 406 Locking Team Number One
Scoring a goal in the first attack of the opening game, Arsenal's start can be said to be extremely good.

Liu Han's shadow was indispensable for this goal from the backcourt to the frontcourt. He threaded the needle and cleverly connected the running positions of the Arsenal players to form a whole, and finally let the unguarded Vier La received the ball at the front of the penalty area. It can be said that half of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Liu Han.

Valencia is obviously not used to Arsenal's tactics in this field. They did not expect that Liu Han did not directly threaten their defense, but like a chess player, he placed a deadly attack on Valencia. trap.

Vieira was very excited after scoring a goal. Because of his work on the field, he could not score a few goals in a season, but now he has scored in two consecutive Champions League games, which of course makes Vieira very excited, and He has grown fond of scoring goals now.

Valencia coach Cooper stood on the sidelines without saying a word, but his face as gloomy as the London weather said it all.

Less than 4 minutes into the game, the Valencia team had to re-kick off in the middle circle.

After scoring the goal, the Arsenal team shrunk their formation. After Valencia lost the ball so quickly, they would definitely counterattack strongly.

The Arsenal fans in the auditorium sang songs to cheer for the home team, and some enthusiastic fans even waved Arsenal shirts and scarves shirtless.

Because of football hooligans, England's pre-match security checks are very strict, and things like fireworks and large flags will not be put into the stadium, so Arsenal fans can only wave the only markers to express own support for the team.

Valencia tried to organize an effective attack through the midfield after the re-kick-off, but they encountered a tight attack from Arsenal in the midfield.

Liu Han retreated from the front midfielder to participate in the defense again, which made it difficult for Valencia's offense to start in the midfield because they could not find a way forward.

Cooper, who put up a single striker lineup, originally planned to use the advantage of the midfield to control the game, and then advance to the frontcourt and then threaten Arsenal's goal through a breakthrough from the wing. After all, they do not have a suitable fulcrum on the front line, so it is difficult Hold the ball under strong physical confrontation from the Arsenal defender.

During the running in the midfield, Liu Han found that every time the Valencia team organizes an attack, it passes through Mendieta. The Spanish midfielder seems to be doing the same job as him, which is to connect the teams and control the direction of the attack. and rhythm.

After discovering this, Liu Han began to trouble Mendieta in the defense of the midfield. He began to swim around Mendieta, specifically intercepting the passes from other Valencia players to Mendieta.

With the increase of game experience, Liu Han now has his own understanding of how to read the game. Through his own understanding and watching a lot of game videos, his experience has grown rapidly.

After being targeted by Liu Han, Mendieta was obviously in trouble. He found it difficult for him to receive the ball from his teammates, because Liu Han had been threatening him to catch the ball.

After finding out that Liu Han was marking Mendieta, he immediately began to move non-stop, cruising from the middle to the side, trying to get rid of Liu Han's marking, but Liu Han's physical strength was sufficient, and he followed Mendieta immediately .

The core of the midfield, the team's brain was forced by Liu Han to catch the ball. After Valencia's offense had problems, two full-backs tried to attack Arsenal's defense, but Wenger specially sent two extremely fast players today. The full-back, the Brazilian Sylvester, was absent due to injury, and Wenger urgently called back Ashley Cole, who was loaned out. For this reason, Arsenal had to pay Crystal Palace 20 pounds.In this game, Ashley Cole started as the left back, and Luzny was the right back. Both of them have good speed, and they also have certain defensive skills, which can limit the assault of Valencia's two full-backs.

Valencia's offense encountered problems, they couldn't start the situation, and Arsenal did not rush to counterattack the opponent after breaking Valencia's offense, but stabilized the ball through the cooperation of the midfielder. Arsene Wenger didn't intend for a quick win.

Liu Han will move forward quickly after his teammates get the ball, and at the same time look for opportunities to cooperate with his teammates.

The two sides entered a stalemate period, and the Valencia team, which gradually adapted to the rhythm of Arsenal's game, reorganized the defense line in the midfield. Mendieta and Gonzalez beside Liu Han were inseparable.

There were no more goals in the game until the end of the first half, and the competition between the two sides in the midfield was evenly matched.

The Arsenal team has been trying to make a fuss in the midfield in the second half of the first half, but they seem to be playing too delicately today. Liu Han connected the midfield very well, but he still couldn't play in the frontcourt. With enough threatening cooperation, Henry has a certain feeling in the center position, but it is not stable enough.

During the intermission, Valencia made adjustments. Cooper replaced the defensive midfielder Garcia, retreated Mendieta's position to play the central midfielder, and replaced the midfielder Baraga. The purpose of this is to let Mendieta Tower was able to get rid of Liu Han's defense, and then connect the team's offense. At the same time, Baraga also has a certain offensive ability and can be responsible for outflanking in the middle.

Arsenal's midfield did not make any more adjustments. Wenger was very satisfied with Liu Han's performance in the first half, and said that Liu Han needed to continue to suppress Mendieta in the second half of defense.

The intermission ended quickly, and both sides returned to the field. Mendieta found that even though he retreated, he did not avoid Liu Han's marking. Dieta felt that the tall Oriental man on the opposite side was much stronger in single defense than his teammates.

In the second half, Valencia ran into trouble after the kick-off. The Arsenal team formed quickly. Liu Han and his teammates pressed the Valencia players immediately, which caused some confusion.

In the chaos, Liu Han intercepted Gerald's pass to Mendieta in the middle circle, and then sent a very penetrating grounder by himself.

Ljungberg, who went in at high speed from the left, passed through Valencia's defense and received the ball behind Liu Han.

At this time, Ljungberg's position was close to the bottom line, and Liu Han had to increase his passing power in order to penetrate Valencia's defense.

But fortunately, Valencia's full-backs were positioned relatively in the middle just now, and they had not had time to form a defense.

Ljungberg observed his teammate's running position and then passed a half-high ball.

His pass did not pass directly into the penalty area, but towards the outside of the penalty area, where Liu Han's high-speed plug was in place, behind Mendieta, Farinos was moved by Bergkamp pulled away.

Facing the incoming ball, Liu Han raised his bow and volleyed with his left foot. The football went straight to the far corner of the goal, beyond Canizares' reach.

Arsenal extended their lead to two goals after the start of the second half, and while controlling the midfield, they did not forget their usual quick transitions.

Arsenal, leading by two goals, began to deliberately recover the defense. The Dutchman Bergkamp was replaced. He is an important core of Arsenal's striker and midfielder. In addition, his physical fitness is not outstanding. Wenger must ensure that His efficiency per game.

Liu Han retreated to the central midfielder position like Mendieta, but he still stared at Mendieta in defense.

Valencia organized several counterattacks afterwards, but because Mendieta was watched dead by Liu Han, almost none of them formed a too threatening shot, and their two full-backs also lost under Arsenal's special defense. effect.

Cooper's stubborn tactics made him suffer, and Arsenal defeated Valencia today.

In the end, the game ended with Arsenal defeating Valencia [-]-[-], so Arsenal confirmed their first position in the group two rounds in advance. Even if they lost all the next two group matches, Valencia would also be shaken. Not to their position, because Arsenal have an absolute advantage after double-killing Valencia at home and away.
