In football circles, it is very popular to use one sentence to evaluate a player.
The ability with the ball determines the player's upper limit, while the ability without the ball is the basis for a player to stand on the football field.
This is actually not difficult to understand, because in a football match, a player spends most of his time without the ball.
There is also a rumor that the decisive factor why Ferguson valued the Argentine white wizard Veron was that Veron was the most capable midfielder in European football at that time.
Is it surprising?
Everyone's impression of Veron is like his nickname, the White Wizard, but in fact, he can really run.
Standing in 2021, Gao Shen looked back and discovered that the development of football has a vague main line, and that is running distance.
Through scientific training, a nutritionally balanced diet, players' self-discipline and other factors, players on the court are becoming more and more able to run, which results in each team's total distance running in the game being longer and longer.
.
Many fans should still remember that the media has been reporting that the first thing Wenger did after taking charge of Arsenal was to start with the players' diet and improve their running ability on the pitch by changing their eating habits.
Then, there are plans to build a new training base and so on.
It is obvious that Wenger pays more attention to players' movement than other managers.
Someone once issued a similar soul torture, that is, why does Wenger's Arsenal always collapse in the second half?
When Ferguson led Manchester United, he could turn the situation around in the second half every time?
Once is a coincidence, but twice or three times, there must be something wrong.
Is Wenger's team only able to play in the first half, but not in the second half?
How can there be such a strange thing in the world?
The answer is actually very simple, there is something wrong with your physical fitness.
Wenger was one of the first managers to bring continental European technical styles to the Premier League. He believed in passing the ball.
Like Barcelona, Wenger requires every player to have at least two or three ball exit points around him when he gets the ball, and it is best not to exceed ten meters, because data shows that in the game, the passing distance exceeds
Ten meters away, the success rate drops sharply.
So how to do this?
Run, keep running!
Arsenal's advantage in passing and controlling the ball is to create a local numerical advantage through running and increase the ball release point. At the same time, for the sake of accuracy, it is necessary to maintain the distance between players. This makes the running distance of Arsenal players longer than other players.
More teams.
In the first half of the season, they have just gone through the summer training camp. Arsenal players are in the best physical condition, so the Gunners can always play smoothly. However, in winter, there is no winter break in the Premier League. The team operates on multiple fronts, and the players
Physical exhaustion, coupled with injuries and other factors, have led to a sharp decline in the physical condition of Arsenal players.
The running distance is reduced, there are fewer contact points, the distance between players is large, and the distance between each line of the team is also widened, resulting in an increase in loopholes, which can be exploited by opponents and cause defensive problems.
The entire chain ultimately depends on physical fitness.
…
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines, patiently observing the situation on the court, waiting for a turnaround, and at the same time thinking about Arsenal's current situation and problems in his mind.
It's March now, and just like every year, Arsenal's physical fitness is starting to fail.
Of course, even so, Real Madrid still does not have the advantage.
But it is at least foreseeable that as the game progresses, Arsenal's physical fitness will get worse and worse.
At that time, as long as Real Madrid has the lead and defends with all its strength, it will have a chance to hold on to the score and lead a miraculous comeback from Highbury Stadium.
This is why he was determined to attack at the beginning.
Grab a wave and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
After scoring a goal, the players feel confident and can defend more resolutely.
If we don't score, we have to defend, but we can only resign ourselves to fate.
After Arsenal sold Vieira, the entire team's style was weak and not tenacious enough, but Real Madrid is not necessarily any better than Arsenal in this regard.
But if there is a goal, the situation will be completely different and the mentality of the players will be different.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen glanced at the scoreboard.
Ten minutes have passed since the second half.
He looked calm on the outside, but he was still worried inside.
…
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Wenger couldn't hold back his anger.
No one knows Arsenal's problems and weaknesses better than him, so he is also preparing in advance.
Pires should go to warm up.
Reyes was guarded by Arbeloa tonight and had no temper at all, and he couldn't even make a decent breakthrough from the left.
Rather than leaving him on the court, it would be better to replace him.
As the game progresses, it has become a competition of fighting spirit and will between the two sides.
Real Madrid tonight is like a completely different team from the Bernabeu.
Wenger is also feeling the pressure.
If it hadn't been for Henry's dribbling that resulted in a penalty kick before the end of the first half, he would have been in a situation he would not have been in now.
But even so, he was still worried.
"It's been fifty-five minutes, Real Madrid should have almost used up their time."
…
Not only Wenger, but also the fans and guests in the stands, the commentators on the live TV broadcast, and the many professionals and fans in front of the TV all thought exactly the same as Wenger.
Real Madrid is really exhausted!
After all, humans are not machines. They can continue to run as long as they are powered on.
No matter how high Real Madrid's fighting spirit is, no matter how strong the willpower of Real Madrid players is, they will eventually fall.
And as long as Real Madrid's wave of attacks and pressure fails to work and they retreat, they will never come out again.
Losing physical fitness, Real Madrid only has the power to parry.
By then, this game will be completely dominated by Arsenal.
…
When the game reached the 57th minute, Real Madrid's attack on the right was frustrated again.
Beckham stopped the ball, glanced at the frontcourt and left side, and then made another big move.
The ball flew through the air in the court, drew a beautiful arc, and accurately landed on the left side.
Felipe quickly stepped in, stopped the ball with his chest, pushed the ball forward, attracted the attention of the defense, and sent a direct pass to the left side of the penalty area.
Zidane ran over quickly, blocked Eboue with his body, and stopped the ball first.
Taking the ball with his back, after a brief pause, Zidane decisively turned to the right and quickly sent the ball into the penalty area.
Raul chased the ball away, but Kolo Toure took the lead and blocked the ball out of the penalty area.
Zidane just turned around and saw that Raul failed to grab the ball in time and was poked out by Kolo Toure. He immediately chased after him.
The French midfielder has tall legs and long legs. He squeezed Cesc Fabregas away and took the first step to intercept the ball.
When Zidane turned his back to protect the ball, Felipe quickly stepped in and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
After receiving a pass from Zidane, the Brazilian left back stopped, saw Negredo in the penalty area, and sent a cross with his left foot.
The ball drew a diagonal line and landed to the right of the penalty spot.
Negredo just ran over from the right and judged the landing spot before Senderos, but the Swiss center back blocked him firmly, leaving the Spanish center helpless.
Just when he was hesitating about what to do, he saw a figure rushing towards him quickly.
It was a familiar white figure.
Negredo no longer hesitated, headed the ball lightly, and directed Felipe's pass to the arc of the penalty area.
I saw that white figure sprinting at the fastest speed, just in time to meet Negredo's header. It rebounded from the landing point. He didn't stop the ball and directly kicked it.
A muffled bang was heard at the scene, and the football shot straight towards the goal like a cannonball.
All this happens in the blink of an eye.
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines and only saw Felipe pass the ball, saw Negredo's header pass, and then saw De La Rede step in and shoot angrily.
When I tried to see clearly again, the court was already in chaos.
Immediately afterwards, the referee Lubbers's whistle sounded to confirm that the goal was valid.
"Whoa! Whoa!!!!"
Gao Shen was stunned for a moment.
He first raised his hands in disbelief, and then couldn't help but cheer. He rushed out of the coaching area and ran wildly, trying to chase Delared.
"So beautiful! So beautiful!!! Wow!!!!"
As soon as Gao Shen rushed out of the coaching area, he was immediately blocked by the staff on the sidelines.
They tried their best to tell Gao Shen to calm down, calm down, it was against the rules, but Gao Shen's mind was still blank and only one thought was in his mind: Goal!
De La Rede really scored!!!
This damn goal is finally here!
At this moment, he even had the urge to burst into tears.
Delarede rushed out of the court excitedly, but was soon tripped by his teammates and fell to the grass, and they all hugged each other.
The Real Madrid players went crazy. They all gathered around and celebrated wildly.
"God, this is incredible!"
"Real Madrid's attack in the second half once again broke Arsenal's goal."
"This is a volley from the Real Madrid youth academy player Ruben de la Rede after a kick!"
"It was a very sudden attack of cold arrows, which was very surprising."
Gao Shen was persuaded by the fourth official to return to the command area. He apologized for his impulsiveness, but unknowingly, the corners of his eyes became moist.
At this moment, this feeling of coming back to life is really fascinating.
Lucas, Maqueda and others were also celebrating. When they saw Gao Shen, they all gathered around him and hugged him.
On the edge of the court, after celebrating with his teammates, Delared ran back to the court and ran over to give Gao Shen a high-five and give Gao Shen a big hug.
This scene was also captured by live broadcast footage and presented to fans around the world.
"In the previous game against Atletico Madrid, Raul also hugged Gao Shen after scoring a goal, and now, De La Red has done it again."
"This makes us have to believe that this Chinese coach, who is only 25 years old, may be really outstanding, so that he can convince the players of Real Madrid and play at Highbury Stadium.
Such an exciting game with so many ups and downs.”
"When it was 1-0 just now, Real Madrid just equalized the score, but now it's 2-1, Real Madrid successfully reversed Arsenal with precious away goals."
"There is still more than half an hour left in the game, and we have absolutely reason to believe that every minute of the next half hour or so will be very difficult for Real Madrid, because they will face Arsenal's crazy counterattack."
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Wenger was already making substitutions impatiently.
