"The following introduces you to the lineups of both sides."
"Arsenal's formation is 4-3-3!"
"Goalkeeper: Petr Cech."
"Defenders: Bellerin, Maguire, Mustafi, Monreal."
"Double defensive midfielders: Xhaka, Li Kang."
"Central midfielder: Cazorla."
"Forwards: Walcott, Morata, Sanchez."
-【I, Giroud, did not play again.】
-【My m4k6 combination is not on the field again.】
-[It proves that the professor has more and more cards in his hand, Giroud uses them to play positional battles, m4k6 recharges his energy to play key matches in the Champions League, and by the way, he leads the youth training children to play in the English League Cup.]
- [Don’t worry, Koscielny will definitely play when facing Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester City.]
-[Last season, Arsenal led by two goals in the first half, but were beaten by the Hammers three times in a row in the second half!]
...
"West Ham United's formation is 4-4-2!"
"Goalkeeper: Adrian."
"Defenders: Masuaku, Reid, Collins, Antonio."
"Defensive midfielder: Creswell, Nordveit."
"Wide midfielders: Payet, Kouyate."
"Forward: Carroll, Ayew!"
-[Carroll, the last ‘traditional’ British center.]
-[The most authentic one high and one fast in the Premier League at this stage.]
-[Don’t count, Ayew’s speed is not as fast as before. He is slowly transitioning to playing midfield. The Hammers’ actual formation should be 4-5-1!]
-[No, Payet is a free man in the frontcourt, the actual formation is 4-3-3!]
-[Ayew’s jumping is very abnormal, and his ability to grab points with his header is outstanding. This striker combination should still be a 4-4-2 ‘double ghost hitting the goal’! 】
....
The radio at the Emirates Stadium suddenly sounded "There is only one Arsene Wenger"
This song was composed at the beginning of the century, but as the team became further and further away from the Premier League and Champions League championship trophies... it was gradually dusted by history.
The audience was overjoyed and sang in unison.
A few months ago this place was filled with slogans saying "Wenger is out".
Winslington seems to have the most heart-warming fans in the world at this moment.
Wenger looked calm and did not care about the praise and criticism from the outside world.
At this time, he is only worried that players will be injured on the field...
....
Players from both sides take their respective positions.
Li Kang repeatedly made several gestures towards his teammates.
Everyone understood.
Everyone can understand the very common international gestures, and the coaching staff also repeats the tactical deployment several times before the game.
Bilic took a few peeks, but his heart was unmoved.
Even if Arsenal has 200 million members, it will be difficult for them to solve the flaws in the framework in a short time.
In the world of football, there are many competing tactical styles.
....
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The game officially begins.
West Ham United possession of the ball.
Carroll kicked off the ball and returned the ball to the backcourt.
Arsenal's formation quickly pressed forward.
There was no sign of a fast break.
The two sides seemed to be keeping a distance and testing each other.
The football was passed smoothly in the West Ham United backcourt, and several attempts to advance were disrupted by Li Kang, who was active in the center circle.
The scene is a bit dull.
The Emirates Stadium soon fell silent, like the Stamford Bridge library.
Time passes slowly.
Both teams are waiting for the most suitable time to speed up.
Arsenal's frontcourt players worked hard to press.
West Ham United's attackers have not been idle either.
For example, Paye.
He was no longer as humble and polite as he was in the players' tunnel, but instead surrounded Li Kang and talked all kinds of rubbish.
】
It seems that the resentment from the European Cup semi-finals is being poured out at once.
Li Kang's expression was calm.
The defensive tendencies were not disturbed in any way.
Some experts believe that trash talking can be classified as part of football culture.
For example, in the 2006 World Cup final: Materazzi used the trash talk "I'm going to fuck your a**" to successfully anger Zidane, leaving a famous scene that will forever be remembered in football history.
...
"Bililic's team was in no rush to attack."
"When Wenger meets a team outside the Big 6, he will put more pressure in the frontcourt."
"The two West Ham midfielders are very good at resolving the press...Ah, there is still no way to separate the ball. The football is back at the goalkeeper's feet."
The moment goalkeeper Adrian stopped the ball, the hole shrunk.
A tall figure stepped forward quickly, menacingly.
The Hammers goalkeeper was frightened and dunked the ball hard, barely avoiding Morata's press.
The Emirates Stadium suddenly burst into applause.
"Morata is becoming more and more comprehensive and has a strong ability to create pressure in the frontcourt."
Snapped.
The football was passed to Reid's feet.
Even though there were no Arsenal players around him, he did not kick the ball high and lob it into the frontcourt.
The Hammer Gang can also be very delicate.
After advancing a few meters.
The ball was given to Payet on the wing.
The Hammer Gang suddenly sounded the horn of attack.
The overall formation presses forward like crazy.
Cazorla and Walcott decisively outflanked.
Payet suddenly increased his speed, swerved and cut into the inside line, completely throwing away the two of them.
"The successor to Zidane."
"His characteristics are so distinctive. His position is not fixed on the wing, which brings vitality to West Ham United's midfield and frontcourt offense!"
"The defensive method of anticipating the blocked position will make it difficult to stop him!
"
....
The nickname of Zidane's successor was not blown out of thin air.
Paye's growth process is also inspiring.
I used to be a clothing shopping guide, and my customers praised me for my clothes folding skills.
Last season, he had a "double-double" record of 12 goals and 12 assists, and the number of threatening ball opportunities he created... topped the five major leagues, surpassing De Bruyne, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas, etc.
wait.
West Ham United's frontcourt players quickly opened up the attacking width.
Crazy erosion of Arsenal's half.
The attack method is simple but very effective.
...
Courtside.
Boulder frowned and said: "Boss, it's very possible that they don't need to advance to the thirty-meter area... they will just pass the ball directly."
Wenger nodded: "It doesn't matter, Maguire and Mustafi are best at dealing with this kind of offense."
....
Paye rode with great force and reached the 40-meter area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Carroll had already slowly ran to the vicinity of the Arsenal central defender.
Ayou kept running back and forth laterally.
"One high and one fast!"
"Arsenal still chooses to move the defensive focus back."
Xhaka couldn't sit still.
Although the coverage area of this product is small, its frontal interception capability in a small area is not weak.
Just the right step for Payet.
He decisively rushed forward and shoveled.
There was no fierce physical fight as expected.
Payet's feel for the ball was really a little bit closer to Zidane's. He suddenly stopped the ball and watched the Arsenal midfielder pass in front of him like a bystander.
West Ham United's attack did not stall.
He distributed the ball to Cresswell on the wing.
That's right.
Cresswell is a defensive midfielder, but during the Hammers' attack, he often pulls wide and switches to a full midfielder.
This is a very interesting team.
Most of the "hukou" players come from the youth training of wealthy families and always miss the roster of the Three Lions national team.
But when kneaded together, they can exert the power of "robbing the rich and giving to the poor".
....
"Creswell's tendency to move..."
"It's time to pass the long ball into the penalty area!"
"Carol!"
Boom!
The ball left the Hammers defensive midfielder's right foot.
Whirling into Arsenal's penalty area.
The scene is very similar to the goal West Ham United scored against the Emirates Stadium last season.
Simple.
practical.
The tall and powerful Carroll stopped walking and suddenly broke into the Arsenal penalty area.
He possesses the "most simple" aerial bombing ability in the Premier League during this historical period.
Looks honest.
Private life is a mess.
Beating women.
Beat up teammate Nzobia.
Beat up passers-by.
Beat up teammate Steven Taylor.
Beating up his girlfriend.
The fans were so angry that they almost burned his car.
Of course, he was talented at that time and the Newcastle club tolerated everything.
It's definitely not because Liverpool made an offer of 35 million pounds that year.
....
Emirates Stadium.
The shooter's blood in Carol began to burn and boil.
He completed his run-up, jumped up instinctively, and smashed his big head against the falling football!
Boom!
There was no expected headbutt.
Because he has a bigger forehead than him, he can push the ball out.
Maguire!
As if it had turned into a wall, it easily defused West Ham United's aerial offensive.
"Wow!"
"Someone was able to stop Carol in a head-on aerial confrontation!"
...
Courtside.
Bilic loosened his tie and gradually entered the state.
Don't panic.
West Ham can come back even if they are three goals behind Arsenal.
You have a lot of time to make adjustments.
....
"Football is not far behind!"
"Paye!"
The football landed on the turf and bounced on the spot.
Paye gently stretched out his short leg and "dipped" the ball.
The superb stop immediately attracted cheers from the fans in the away stands.
"He is worthy of being Zidane's successor."
"The technique of stopping the ball is very good."
Payet didn't rush the ball.
Instead, he suddenly raised his elbow.
Cazorla, who arrived one step late, immediately covered his face in pain and fell to the ground.
"Why?"
"This elbow raising action...the referee did not indicate it."
"The game continues!"
"Look what Payet is going to do with this ball! Is it going to be played directly, or..."
...
A black-haired figure passed by.
Halfway through Payet's Marseille spin...the ball disappeared.
My body felt an extremely arrogant force coming towards me.
Bang.
The successor of Zidane had his feet dangling in the air...like a kite with a broken string, he was knocked away and his expression was distorted.
"drift..."
"Li Kang, a clean and fierce steal!"
"The referee also made no comment!"
"Look at this transition attack from Arsenal."
"Hey? Why did you stop? Li Kang wanted to kick the ball out of bounds? Do you want Cazorla who fell to the ground to receive treatment?"
....
The boos from the Hammers fans were not loud.
It's not because there are few people.
It's because after Payet became famous in the European Cup group stage, he thought about the transfer every day and stopped playing and training when nothing happened.
Broke the hearts of Hammers fans.
...
Cazorla struggled to get up, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and signaled to Li Kang not to interrupt the game.
Li Kang looked at his old midfield partner who was still slightly injured... and subconsciously felt a trace of regret for no apparent reason.
Bah bah bah.
How can you keep thinking about your teammates being injured?
Be united.
From God's perspective, the formations of both sides have undergone drastic changes.
He can subconsciously find the most reasonable route for the ball.
Snapped.
The football spun violently, drawing a rainbow-like arc in mid-air, and accurately found Bellerin on the wing.
Bellerin used to think about returning to Barcelona all day long.
But now my mind is clear: Only by following Li can we win the championship.
If he returns to Barcelona, he may not even be able to play in the Europa League.
....
With Arsenal players running.
Football is like a naughty elf, beating constantly on the green field!
Not just short ground passes!
And the elegant arc in mid-air!
No stagnation at all!
One touch of the ball!
Hit the wall and cooperate!
The dense transmission lines form a sharp blade!
Easily penetrated West Ham United's defense!
Exquisite.
The offensive methods of Arsenal and West Ham United are simply two extremes.
"A passing and cutting attack that's like mercury pouring down the ground!"
"So smooth! So gorgeous!"
"There are no extra routes for the ball! All Arsenal players are implementing Wenger's football philosophy."
"West Ham United's defense can no longer hold up!"
Paye struggled to get up and rubbed his chest painfully.
Then he rushed towards his own backcourt regardless of his own safety.
The quality of this product is poor, but the competitive attitude is very positive.
...
Bellerín re-received the pass near the bottom line on the right side of the West Ham United penalty area.
He couldn't remember how many times he had changed positions.
Collins and I, Antonio, double-teamed.
After all, he is an excellent product of La Masia, and he knows the timing of the ball very well.
The calf swung.
The football lifted off the ground.
Like a scimitar, it strangled West Ham United's low defense.
The end of the trajectory.
Morata’s head appears!
"Reed missed someone!"
"Morata!"
"Header!"
Emergency moment.
Goalkeeper-Adrian stepped on the turf!
The West Ham United coaching staff has deconstructed the characteristics of Morata's header.
if only...
Snapped!
The football didn't hit the goal!
Instead, he was ferried to the twelve-yard area.
The figure of Arsenal's No. 10, as the football fell... became the focus of the camera.
A natural combination of passing and running.
The spectators in the nearby stands could not help but open their mouths.
No one would doubt that as long as Li Kang raised his foot slightly, he could score an empty goal.
Not that easy.
And there’s Payet!
This guy ran in a straight line and got into position in the penalty area early.
The seeds of revenge sprouted at this moment.
The sharp spikes kicked fiercely towards Li Kang's calf.
...
Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened.
This is a useless move.
Bilic frowned, expressing confusion.
Wenger is like falling into an ice cave.
He cares more about Li Kang's health than winning or losing.
...
The bloody moment about to be born did not come as expected.
The Eye of Truth bursts forth.
God's perspective controls all movements on the field.
The shadows on the brain spread crazily.
There is no room for a kick.
Li Kang turned sideways to pull the ball, and his supporting feet alternated in an instant. This simple and unassuming movement... made Payet's spikes hit the air.
Snapped.
The football rolled out lightly from behind him.
A bruised and swollen Cazorla appeared at the top of the arc unmarked.
There is plenty of time to aim for the goal.
Balance your feet.
Pick it gently.
The football made a slight curve... lifting up the West Ham United net.
Adrian was helpless.
1:0!
The Emirates Stadium has not recovered its senses for a while.
"pretty!"
"Tacit cooperation in passing and cutting!"
"You'll never guess which player this Arsenal team will end up with."
"West Ham United's defense was in disarray."
"Li Kang's back heel pass is so clever!"
"He assisted Cazorla and broke the deadlock on the court!"
