Chapter 197 The purpose of transmission and control

  Arsenal's last few rounds of matches can be described as extremely difficult, but Arsenal have no choice, they can only wade through.

  To be honest, the three strong teams in the league and the three relegation teams are not easy to play.

  The strong teams in the league are competing for the championship or the European theater, so they must pull Arsenal down.

   The relegation team wants to relegation, these guys are going to work hard!

  The relegation team in the Premier League is notoriously difficult, the notorious foul tactics of the Premier League relegation, do you have a mentality of sliding tackles all over the court?

  And under the pressure of the championship, it is necessary to bite the bullet and fight.

  Risk of injury and rollover!

   But Arsenal have no choice!

  The devil's schedule in the league is like this, and the result of the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League has also been determined.

  The Champions League quarterfinals are Real Madrid, Dortmund, Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

  Three teams from Premier League, three teams from La Liga, one team from Bundesliga, one team from Ligue 1, and all teams from Serie A!

  And Arsenal's opponent in the draw is Dortmund.

   Seeing this result, Arsenal was extremely helpless.

  In the quarter-finals, there is no longer the principle of avoiding the same division and the same group, so they encountered Dortmund again in the quarter-finals.

  Arsenal has stabbed the nest of the Bundesliga.

  Competed with Dortmund in the group stage, played Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, and faced Dortmund again in the quarter-finals.

   They are on par with last season's Champions League runner-up!

   Klopp's Dortmund is definitely a hard stubble.

   Even if placed in the top eight, it is an option that no one wants to encounter.

   But Arsenal is so 'kind'!

   Regarding the signing of Arsenal, Lucky felt that it was necessary for Wenger or Usmanov to find a feng shui master to break it.

  Although there are no underdogs in the top eight, it is a bit outrageous to face last season's Champions League runner-up one after another!

   But still the same sentence, Arsenal can only choose to face it!

   Lucky now hates the lottery.

   It might as well be divided into upper and lower halves!

   But the Champions League upper and lower half system still needs a few years.

  This competition system can make the club more fully prepared, instead of being caught off guard like it is now.

certainly!

  Arsenal is under pressure, why not Dortmund?

  In the group stage, Dortmund tried to confront Arsenal, and the game was very difficult.

  Especially after Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich, their state has reached a sufficiently dreadful level.

  The current Klopp does not have enough confidence to beat such Arsenal!

  As for Dortmund fans, they met Arsenal in the quarter-finals as soon as they mocked Bayern Munich for losing to Arsenal.

  If they are eliminated, why not be ridiculed to death?

  So, this draw is not good for Arsenal or Dortmund.

  The semi-finals of the Champions League will be held on April 2, and there is still a preparation period of nearly ten days.

   But before again, Arsenal will host Manchester City on March 29th.

  After being eliminated by Barcelona in the Champions League, Manchester City put all their attention on the league.

   They want to regain the honor of the league championship.

  Manchester City's current pressure is only one league, so they can concentrate on operating the league.

   On the other hand, Arsenal still has the pressure of the Champions League, so they have a relatively more sense of urgency.

   And this game is also a challenge for Lucky and Cazorla.

  Facing the most powerful midfield combination of David Silva and Yaya Toure in the Premier League at this stage, whether Lucky and Cazorla can withstand the pressure is a key issue.

  This game can be said to have gained the attention of all the media and fans in the Premier League.

   With Arsenal currently leading the standings, someone must frustrate Arsenal and interrupt Arsenal's winning streak.

  And for Manchester City and other teams aspiring to the championship, they must beat Arsenal!

  This can shorten the gap in the standings.

  At present, Manchester City has a seven-point gap from Arsenal. If they lose this game, their point gap will expand to 10 points, which almost means that Manchester City has lost the initiative and is out of the championship queue.

  They can't hope that Arsenal will suddenly make a mess and lose three games in a row. This is almost impossible.

  For this reason, Manchester City needs to prepare well for this game.

   And this game is also known as the confrontation between the old and new midfielders in the Premier League.

  Yaya Toure and David Silva both joined Manchester City in 2010 and are also Manchester City's champion members.

  It can be said that in the past period of time, this midfield combination has tested the midfield strength of the entire Premier League.

  Cazorla and Lucky in the current Arsenal team have become representatives of the new generation of Premier League midfielders.

  As Arteta became a rotation team, Lucky and Cazorla took over the organizational work, Arsenal's tactical system began to revolve around these two people.

   Lucky and Cazorla have become Arsenal's offensive and defensive guarantees.

  Some people describe Cazorla and Lucky as 'bullet' and 'trigger' respectively

   Cazorla's sharp breakthrough is as penetrating as a fired bullet.

   Lucky’s role as a metronome and the ability to shoot the ball are the starting point for this gunner’s shooting.

  The close cooperation between the two made the Gunner look radiant and on the road to revival.

   And the two are also representatives of the new generation of midfielders in the Premier League!

  Of course, Cazorla’s grade cannot be called the new generation, but this is a “first come, first served” level, not age.

  Both teams are strong midfielders, and in the defensive midfielder position, Yaya Toure's B2B style of play and Lucky's defensive gate also became the focus of this game.

   Lucky's performance this season is obvious to all!

   Today's Lucky is only two goals away from the silver boot award for assists in the Premier League.

  Analyzed from the data level alone, the offensive and defensive attributes of this Arsenal team surpassed that of Manchester City.

  But data are always appearances and can only provide reference value.

  How to develop the game still needs to start from the game itself.

  On March 29, Arsenal played against Manchester City at home.

  In the round of 16 of the last round, Arsenal drew with Manchester City away, and now back at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal will face Manchester City again.

  Manchester City can be said to have dispatched the main force in this game, coming with the momentum of taking away three points from the Emirates Stadium.

  Manchester City (4-2-3-1):

  Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

  Defenders: Clichy, Demichelis, Kompany, Zabaleta.

  Midfielders: Yaya Toure, Fernandio, David Silva, Nasri, Navas.

  Forward: Dzeko.

This lineup can be seen to be tricky. The midfielders Yaya Toure, Fernandio, David Silva, Nasri and Navas are all technical at their feet. This is to compete with Arsenal. Na's plan to compete for the rhythm of the midfield.

   And Arsenal did not hesitate, playing at home, they have no reason to be afraid.

  Since you want to fight for the midfield, then Arsenal will accompany you to the end.

  Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

  Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

  Defenders: Sagna, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal.

  Midfielders: Lucky, Flamini, Cazorla, Rosicky and Wilshere.

  Forward: Suarez!

   Both sides of the midfield are sending players with solid ball-handling ability. For a while, I really can't tell which is better!

   Lucky and Kompany exchange team flags and guess sides.

  The two had almost no communication other than their movements.

   Both of them knew very well that the other side was eyeing each other and wanted to defeat themselves.

   This must be a battle between dragons and tigers!

  "Navas! The pass~~ was interrupted! Kai! Beautiful interception, Kai handed the ball to Cazorla, Cazorla passed back, Kai crossed to Rosicky, now it's Arsenal's possession time!"

  Once the game started, both sides showed extremely high will to fight.

  Under the frantic physical confrontation, the transmission and control are still carried out.

   I have to say that Pellegrini's transformation of Manchester City is still very good, and Manchester City's pass control technology is no longer so 'rough'.

  Faced with Arsenal's passing and cutting tactics, they can also carry out passing and controlling work in a decent manner.

  But Arsenal must tell them a truth!

   Lucky just got the ball, he just looked up and glanced at it, and immediately pushed the ball straight to Cazorla, and at the same time outflanked it to the side.

  Cazorla faced the ball and lightly cushioned it with the outer instep, and the ball flew sideways.

   And there, Lucky had already outflanked the ball, and at the same time sent the ball forward to Rosicky.

   Sabaletta rushed forward cleanly to press, but Rosicky also picked the ball with one kick, and the ball went over Yaya Toure's head and landed in front of Cazorla.

   Cazorla accelerated towards the ball again, and before the ball fell, he took off and turned around to transfer the ball out again.

   Lucky appeared precisely where the ball landed.

   At this time, Manchester City's defense has been messed up by everyone in Arsenal.

  In front of Rosicky and Wilshere's side-drawing behavior, the entire back line was pulled into a large gap.

  Suarez started to get rid of Kompany in front of Kompany, and Kompany was under a lot of pressure.

  Because he has to observe the timing of Lucky's pass and restrict Suarez.

  But Suarez made a move to get rid of it in advance, and Lucky also made a pass.

   "Don't try to run!"

   Kompany turned to chase Suarez, but Suarez took two steps and then stopped.

   Kompany was a little surprised, but immediately panicked.

   When he turned his head, he saw that Flamini had actually penetrated their defense and entered the penalty area, facing Lucky's arc pass and shot angrily!

  The shot was powerful and hit the net directly above the goal.

   At the same time, he also gave Manchester City players a blow at home!

  Flamini's goal detonated the entire Emirates Stadium.

  In the first half, in 21 minutes, Arsenal scored a goal with a wonderful pass and cut.

Sky Sports commentator Paul Merson shook his head and sighed; "I admit that Pellegrini transformed Manchester City very well, but he made a mistake. The purpose of passing and controlling is not to control the ball under his feet, but to control Manchester City The ball goes into the opponent's goal!"

  "In this regard, Wenger's Arsenal taught him a good lesson!"

   Playing pass control in front of Arsenal, I'm afraid it's not a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
