Now looking back at Arshavin's goal, we can see how important it was.
This goal was like a blow to the murderous Arsenal! It stunned the confident Arsenal.
The players started to become a little impatient mentally.
This kind of spiritual impact is very important. As the situation becomes more and more unfavorable, the impact will become greater.
Krishna's side was completely paralyzed, and Sagna's side had no effect. Wenger also made timely adjustments and began to temporarily abandon wing tactics and wanted to make a fuss in the middle.
Although Wenger issued instructions to Arsenal players to strengthen the attack in the middle, Arsenal's offense did not really improve, especially their midfielder gradually lost power. Although their midfielder has Diaby, Eboue,
Flamini, Cesc Fabregas and Hleb, however, facing Inter Milan, the performance of Arsenal's proud offensive midfield line was mediocre.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Diaby is regarded as Vieira's successor. The French star did perform amazingly when he was in excellent form. However, Diaby is famous for being a glass man.
, since a serious injury last season, injuries have repeatedly tortured the French midfielder, which has also made Diaby's state good and bad. Obviously, today's Diaby's performance can only be described as poor.
To describe it, facing repeated attacks from Mata and Arshavin, it seemed powerless. While the defensive end was very embarrassing, it was also difficult to provide more help to Arsenal on the offensive end.
Diaby is languishing here, Flamini, Eboue and Hleb are not much better, and Fabregas, who has high hopes from Arsenal, is not the kind of person who can lead the team on his own.
The performance of the players who turned the tide can only be described as average.
***********
Arsenal's current passivity is also related to Wenger's tactics today.
At the beginning, Wenger seemed determined to make a fuss on the wing and wanted to use Adebayor's impact. However, it was obvious that Li Ang was prepared for this and only relied on Adebayor as an offensive point.
It's really easy to get frozen.
Even if the adjustment is now made in the middle, football matches are played by both sides. It does not mean that Wenger's adjustment will have immediate effects.
When Modric was injured, Li Ang gave Muntari enough trust. Carlos is still the most reliable barrier for Inter Milan's midfield. Now that Muntari is here to help, Arsenal also wants to play in the middle.
It is really difficult to create a channel.
"Inter Milan's offense is very direct and concise!" Ferrari was full of praise for Li Ang's tactics.
With Modris injured and absent from the game, Inter Milan lacked the midfield organizer Modric. Li Ang immediately simplified Inter Milan's offense and relied entirely on the two offensive players Mata and Arshavin to make a fuss.
The two wings took turns attacking Arsenal's defense, and in front were Diego Milito and Adriano. The former felt great shooting in front of the goal, and the latter was full of impact. Inter Milan's offense became more direct and penetrating.
The transparency is used to deal with teams like Arsenal whose defense is not a strong point in the first place, and the effect is immediate.
Seeing that Arsenal adjusted their tactics, they repeatedly wanted to get breakthroughs and opportunities from the center. However, several of Arsenal's attempts were blocked by Carlos and Muntari. Li Ang is very satisfied. Arsenal can now be said to be
In a desperate attempt to strengthen the offense, although Li Ang didn't know what stimulated Wenger to be so desperate in the first half of the game, this was a good opportunity for Inter Milan.
In this case, Arsenal's defense will have more space, and if Inter Milan can seize the opportunity to score another goal, it will also be able to give the arsenal a fatal blow at the psychological level!
***********
Hleb wanted to cooperate with Cesc Fabregas, but his intention to pass the ball was too obvious. Carlos rushed to the ball in advance, fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, and blocked the football.
Then, Carlos successfully blocked Cesc Fabregas behind him when he counterattacked. At the same time, he put one hand on the ground and swept the football to Muntari who came to meet him.
The Ghanaian is very clear about his mission today, which is to play the ball as soon as possible after Carlos steals the ball!
Muntari directly made a long pass and passed the football forward. Adriano retreated to respond and headed the ball to the side!
After Mata stopped the ball with his beautiful chest, he accelerated suddenly and left Diaby behind who came to defend him. The latter quickly turned around to chase. After taking a step, his foot slipped and he fell to the ground.
Sagna quickly dropped Adriano and pressed forward.
Mata slowed down, spiked the ball, and made a move to cut inside. When he deceived Sania to raise his foot to intercept, he instead poked the ball with his toe and passed the ball out.
The ball was in the middle, and Milito made a transition. The Argentine striker did not turn around, but directly swept the ball to his left again.
Arshavin came to respond in time. He directly pulled the ball, avoided Flamini, and suddenly rushed diagonally to the side.
Then, before Klich came up to intercept, Arshavin flicked his ankle and the football drew an arc and flew straight to the goal.
Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia chose to attack. He wanted to intercept the ball directly from the air!
However, after the attack, Almunia discovered that something was wrong. The football had an insignificant external spin in the air. The arc was not large, but Almunia realized that he might not be able to touch the football.
***********
Sure enough, the football passed by Almunia's fingertips and flew straight to the back.
"Almunia! He missed the ball!" the England commentator exclaimed.
Almunia turned his head to look in horror, and then he saw Adriano appearing behind him. The only thing that comforted Almunia was that Adriano was still followed by Galas, and now he
We can only count on Galax.
But, then, Admunya's expression became even more horrified.
Gallas was squeezed behind by Adriano, and he watched helplessly as Adriano headed the ball!
Header!
ferry!
That's right, it's not a header!
The football was at the back point, and the angle of direct header was already very small. Adriano chose to ferry the header. He shook his head violently and pushed the football towards the penalty spot!
Then people saw that Diego Milito, who had completed the football cross transition before, appeared there, and the Argentine dived and headed the ball!
Faced with such a close header, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia had no time to react and watched the football pass over the right side of his cheek and fly into the net...
