Chapter 197： The purpose of control

Chapter 197 The Purpose of Transmission

Arsenal's final few rounds can be described as extremely difficult, but Arsenal have no choice but to go 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 bring Arsenal down.

The relegation team is going to be relegated, and these guys are going to work hard!

The Premier League's relegation team is a notorious problem. The notorious Premier League relegation foul tactics, the whole court slides to make you have a mentality?

And under the pressure of the championship, you need to bite the bullet and fight.

There is a risk of injury and overturning!

But Arsenal have no choice!

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

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

Three Premier League teams, three La Liga teams, one Bundesliga team, one Ligue 1 team, and Serie A were wiped out!

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 faced Dortmund again in the quarter-finals.

Arsenal this is the den 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 the Champions League runner-up last season!

Klopp's Dortmund is definitely a tough one.

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

But Arsenal are so 'kind'!

For Arsenal's lottery, Le Kai felt that it was necessary for Wenger or Usmanov to find a feng shui master to break it. What is this Nima drawing?

Although there are no weak teams in the top eight, it is a bit outrageous to face the Champions League and runner-up last season!

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

Lucky now hates the lottery.

Might as well divide it into upper and lower halves!

But the upper and lower half of the Champions League system is still a few years away.

This format can make the club more fully prepared, instead of being caught off guard as it is now.

certainly!

Arsenal is under pressure, why not Dortmund?

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

Especially after Arsenal beat Bayern Munich, their state has reached a level that is scary enough.

Now Klopp is not confident enough to beat such an Arsenal!

For Dortmund fans, they had just ridiculed Bayern Munich's loss to Arsenal with their front foot when they faced Arsenal in the quarter-finals.

If they are eliminated, they should not be mocked to death?

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

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

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

Manchester City turned their full attention to the league after being knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona.

They want to regain the league title.

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

On the other hand, Arsenal still has the pressure of the Champions League, so it is relatively more urgent.

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

In the face of the most powerful midfield combination of David Silva and Yaya Toure in the Premier League at this stage, it is a key issue that Luckey and Cazorla can withstand the pressure.

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

With Arsenal currently leading the standings, someone has to set back Arsenal's spirit and interrupt Arsenal's winning streak.

And for champions like Manchester City, they have to beat Arsenal!

This will shorten the gap in the standings.

Manchester City is currently seven points away from Arsenal. If they lose this game, their points 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 count on Arsenal's sudden confusion and losing three games in a row, which is almost impossible.

To this end, 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 champions.

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

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

As Arteta became a rotation team, Luckey and Cazorla took over the organizational work, and 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.

And Lucky's metronome function and ability to shoot the ball are the starting point for this gunner's shooting.

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

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

Of course, Cazorla's grade is not a new generation, but this is a 'first come, first come' level, not age.

Both teams are strong in midfield, and in the midfield position, Yaya Toure's B2B play and Lekai'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.

Light from the data level analysis, this Arsenal's offensive and defensive attributes are more than Manchester City.

But data is always an appearance and can only provide reference value.

How the game develops depends on the game itself.

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

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

Manchester City was the main force in this game, and came with the momentum of taking three points away from the Emirates Stadium.

Manchester City (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Clichy, Demichelis, Kompany, Sabaleta.

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

Striker: Dzeko.

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

And Arsenal are not cowardly, playing at home, they have no reason to be afraid.

Since you want to fight in 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.

Striker: Suarez!

Both midfielders dispatched players with solid ball-handling ability, and for a while, I really couldn’t tell which one was higher and which was lower!

Lucky and Kompany exchanged flags and guessed sides.

The two had almost no communication other than their movements.

Both of them knew very well that the other was watching and trying to defeat themselves.

This must be a battle of dragons and tigers!

"Navas! Passing~~ is broken! Kai! Beautiful interception, Kai handed the ball to Cazorla, Cazorla returned the pass, Kai crossed to Rosicky, and now it's Arsenal's possession time!"

Once the game started, both sides showed extremely high fighting spirit.

Under the mad physical confrontation, the control is still carried out.

I have to say that Pellegrini's transformation of Manchester City is still very good, and Manchester City's transmission control technology is not so "rough".

In the face of Arsenal's passing and cutting tactics, they can also carry out passing and control work in a similar manner.

But Arsenal have to tell them a truth!

Le Kai just got the ball, he just glanced up, and immediately shoved the ball straight to Cazorla, and at the same time flanked away to the side.

Cazorla lightly padded his outer instep against the ball, and the ball flew horizontally.

And there, Lucky had already flanked in place, and at the same time sent the ball forward and handed it to Rosicky.

Sabaleta came up cleanly to press, but Rosicky also picked the ball with a pass, and the ball passed over Yaya Toure's head and landed in front of Cazorla.

Cazorla accelerated to the ball again, and before the ball fell, he jumped up and turned to transfer the ball out again.

Lucky appeared precisely where the ball landed.

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

In front, Rosicky and Wilshere's pulling behaviors are more, and the entire back line is pulled in a large neutral position.

Suarez started to get away in front of Kompany, who was under a lot of pressure.

Because he has to observe the timing of Lucky's passing and limit Suarez.

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

"Don't try to run!"

Company turned to chase after Suarez, but the latter took two steps and then stopped.

Company was a little surprised, then looked panicked.

When he turned his head, he saw that Flamini actually penetrated their back line and entered the penalty area, passing the ball in front of Le Kai's arc is a furious shot!

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

also gave the Manchester City players a dismay 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 Mawson shook his head and sighed; "I admit that Pellegrini has transformed Manchester City very well, but he made a mistake. The purpose of passing control is not to control the ball under his feet, but to put the ball under his feet. 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 is probably not playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong.
