Liang is paying attention to Senderos. In his plan, the Swiss will be the gap for Inter Milan to open the door to victory.
There are also people in the Arsenal team who are paying attention to Li Ang.
As soon as Fabregas got the ball, he was pressed by Carlos. Fabregas tried his best to control the ball, but Carlos saw an opportunity and fell down and shoved the football away from the sideline.
Fabregas got up from the ground. He did not look at Carlos who was blocking him, but looked at the sidelines. Inter Milan coach Li Ang was applauding his disciple for this successful defense.
Fabregas still thinks it's a bit too magical until now. The Chinese is now the head coach of Inter Milan. He has won the Triple Crown in La Liga and won the Serie A championship in his first season in Serie A. This is really
It feels a bit unreal. In less than three years, everything has changed so fast.
Fabregas is the only player in the current Arsenal team who has played against Li Ang. Moreover, at that time, Fabregas was still a player in Barcelona's under-17 team, while Li Ang was a player in Real Madrid's under-17 team.
Head coach of the following Junior A team.
In that game, Real Madrid's under-17 team defeated the Barcelona under-17 team where Cesc Fabregas was playing.
And that game was the last game Fabregas played for Barcelona. After that game, Fabregas joined Arsenal.
In the blink of an eye, nearly three years have passed.
In the 2005/2006 season, after more than two years of growth, Fabregas became Arsenal's core player for the first time. After Vieira moved to Juventus, Wenger gave the No. 4 jersey to Fabregas.
, and give him more responsibility for organizing the offense.
The Spanish midfielder made a huge breakthrough that season. Before meeting Inter Milan, Fabregas accompanied Arsenal to defeat Juventus, where Vieira played at the time, and reached the semi-finals of the current UEFA Champions League.
Then Fabregas and Arsenal met Li Ang's Inter Milan.
***********
After the game started, both sides fell into a state of anxiety.
Li Ang was sitting on the coach's bench and seemed to be in no hurry about this anxious state.
Li Ang has studied Arsenal very thoroughly.
442 has always been Wenger's preference. In the past 10 years, the team has basically had this formation. However, after Vieira left, due to the failure to buy a replacement in time, the team's midfield strength was greatly reduced. This
This forced Wenger to make the decision to change the formation. Only Henry was left with a single arrow in front, and one was removed from the front to increase the strength of the midfield, changing the formation to 451.
This change did not have much effect in the early stage. One reason is that it takes time to adjust. In addition, constant injuries also forced Wenger to make adjustments to the newly adjusted lineup. The problem of soft midfielder also caused
It didn't suffer much from the change of formation. But after the winter break, especially in the Champions League, this lineup has begun to show its strength.
What caught Li Ang's special attention was the position change of the two veterans Pires and Ljungberg. As Pires got older, he was no longer as brave as he once was on the left wing. In addition, Reyes was becoming more mature, so Wenger had to change his position.
He was placed in the midfield position, using his experience and Henry's tacit understanding to assist in the attack. After Ljungberg's performance gradually stabilized under Haoleb, Wenger was also pulled from the right to the center to organize the attack. Previously, Ljungberg
He is a full-time right midfielder. Although he has also played small forward and forward, he rarely appears in the middle of the midfield. The change of position is also one of the reasons for the sharp decline in Ljungberg's goals. In the following games, Ljungberg even
Being placed in the defensive midfielder position, Wenger's intention was also obvious, using his experience and desperate spirit to share the defensive pressure with Gilberto. Facts have proved that Ljungberg did a very good job in previous games.
The combination of Fabregas and Ljungberg is now praised by the English media.
However, in today's game, Arsenal's midfielder received a strong challenge.
The midfield partnership of Carlos and Modric had a tacit understanding when they were at Sporting Gijon. Now after more than half of the season at Inter Milan, they have an even better understanding. One is responsible for defense, and the other is good at attacking and defending. It's very good.
Contained Arsenal's midfield.
***********
This time, Carlos's tackle stopped Cesc Fabregas' progress and Arsenal got the chance to get the ball from the sideline.
Fabregas threw a side ball, Hleb stopped the ball with his chest and passed the football to Ljungberg. As soon as the latter turned around, he saw Carlos' face.
Ljungberg moved the ball with the inside of his foot and then tried to pass it to Cesc Fabregas.
Carlos made an accurate judgment. He stretched out his foot to block it, and the football bounced up. Then, the Spanish teenager caught Ljungberg before he counterattacked, blocking Ljungberg behind him and sweeping the football to him.
Modric.
Modric plays the ball quickly.
He directly picked up the football. While stopping the ball with his chest, Mata continued to accelerate, passing Gilberto Silva with his speed, and then passed the football horizontally before Eboue could grab it.
Modric had already run in place, and the football made a transition for him. Modric directly passed the football to the right again.
Figo brought the football over with his left foot, then paused for a moment with his right foot, preparing to pass the ball.
***********
Inter Milan's attack was extremely fast and the football moved smoothly, from the center to the left, then to the center, and then to the right, tearing a hole in Arsenal's defense.
Seeing Figo take the ball, Adriano, who was originally in the penalty area, turned around and ran out of the penalty area, raising his hand to ask for the ball.
Figo's football was passed in time.
Adriano caught the football!
"Adriano! Arsenal's defenders should be careful!" the commentator shouted. Adriano's recent state is really hot. Before the game, the English media reminded Arsenal to be careful about this Brazilian warrior.
Wenger is obviously well aware of Adriano's terror. He gave special instructions before the game. Seeing Adriano get the ball, Arsenal's defense felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.
Wenger arranged for Senderos to mark Adriano today. He has high hopes for the Swiss defender.
Senderos saw Adriano running out of the penalty area, and he quickly followed him.
His idea was very direct. He took advantage of Adriano's opportunity to steal the ball.
However, Senderos soon realized that his plan could not be achieved because he felt as if he was facing a wall: Adriano protected the football very well, and he had no chance to poke the football from behind.
However, Senderos still felt confident at this time, because Adriano's back was to the goal. As long as the Brazilian was not allowed to turn his body, his threat would be greatly reduced.
***********
Adriano controlled the football at his feet, his body tilted to the left, and he seemed to be turning around.
Senderos immediately leaned forward!
But just as he pounced back, he felt tremendous pressure!
The Brazilian in front of him was like a wall, a mountain, leaning towards him!
Absolute brute force!
Strong physique!
Adriano's turning breakthrough was nothing fancy. He kept in mind the instructions of head coach Li Ang and used tyrannical power to destroy the Swiss!
So, this time, Adriano chose the most powerful way to turn around and break through!
He comes closer!
When Adriano turned around, his body leaned back, directly pressing on Senderos' body, and then using Senderos' body as a support axis, he turned directly 180 degrees!
Senderos clearly knew what Adriano was going to do, and he wanted to stop him, but he found that he was completely suppressed in this physical confrontation!
The Swiss defender watched helplessly as Adriano used him as the axis and successfully forced a turn!
Absolute suppression!
***********
"Adriano! Turn around! Beautiful! He turned around!"
"Senderos! He's completely stuck! There's nothing he can do against Adriano!"
Amidst the exclamations of the commentators, Adriano completed his turn. While turning, the Brazilian directly brought the football with his feet and successfully made a slight adjustment.
Adriano slightly adjusted the football to the most comfortable position!
Then, just facing the goal and getting a bit of space, the Brazilian swung his left foot!
Powerful volley with the left foot!
The football was like a cannonball, it flew up, then went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Arsenal's German goalkeeper Lehmann reacted immediately and made the save!
However, Adriano's shot is extremely powerful, extremely fast, and has a very tricky angle!
Lyman is beyond reach!
When Lehmann flew towards the ball and his body was still in the air, the football flew past his palm and crashed into the goal, rolling up the snow-white net!
