Su Dong's self-confidence is not blind arrogance, but comes from confidence in his own strength.
Wenger was obviously very afraid of Su Dong. In order to better freeze Su Dong, he even dismissed this season's main central defender.
Gallas was adjusted to the left wing, and the center was joined by 18-year-old John Djurou and Kolo Toure, and Sagna was on the right. This was the first time this season that such a combination was played. The left back K.
Rishi was put on the bench.
In fact, this is not surprising, Heynckes had raised this possibility before the game.
Gallas is 1.82 meters tall, and Kolo Toure is even shorter, only 1.78 meters tall. There is a height gap of more than ten centimeters between the two players and Su Dong. When defending a player like Su Dong,
This is a considerable disadvantage.
If nothing else, when it comes to physical confrontation, short players will suffer greatly.
Therefore, Wenger would rather sacrifice the attack on the left and let Djourou take down Clichy because he wanted to recruit a defender who could compete physically with Su Dong and at least be able to hold Su Dong head-on.
Not only that, Arsenal also gave up the double forward combination of Adebayor and Robin van Persie in this game, and instead adopted the trident of Nasri, Adebayor and Theo Walcott, with Fabregas relying on the midfielder.
Front, Alexander Song and Denilson behind.
The combination of double defensive midfielders can maximize the liberation of Fabregas and the two wings in the frontcourt.
Nasri was born as an attacking midfielder. After coming to Arsenal, he switched to playing as a full midfielder. He is not fast, but has strong ball dribbling ability and excellent foot skills. Walcott is the opposite. The little tiger is very fast and is known as the No. 1 player in football.
A flying man.
Arsenal's lineup is still somewhat stable, but the Gunners' overall tactical play is very mature, and it is a home game, so Bayern does not dare to be careless.
Heynckes was the main force in this game.
The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Lucio and Lahm, the midfielder is Mascherano at the back, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Modric are in the center, and Ribe is in the front.
Here, the trident combination of Su Dong and Robben.
This is Bayern's regular lineup, and no adjustments have been made, which shows the confidence of the Bundesliga leader.
…
Before the game, when the players from the two teams were waiting in the tunnel to come out, Su Dong shook hands with Cesc Fabregas and exchanged greetings.
The two of them have a common friend, and that is Messi.
Cesc Fabregas has also been widely rumored to return to Barcelona, which is already obvious.
Although he is now the captain of Arsenal, everyone knows that the Gunners have always had a tradition of selling out their captains.
From Henry to Vieira, which captain cannot be sold?
Players from the two teams do not have much contact with each other. Even Ribery and Nasri, who were teammates in Marseille, do not have a good relationship. This is also related to their playing styles.
During their time together at Marseille, their roles on the pitch were somewhat conflicting.
Although they are all professional players, the conflict of roles on the field will more or less affect their performance off the field.
After chatting with Fabregas for a while, Su Dong fell at the end of the team. He also took the opportunity to warm up and sprinted on the spot for a while, which made the nearby Arsenal players a little solemn.
Damn, he looks so excited today!
Gallas, Djourou and Kolo Toure were the first to bear the brunt, especially the youngster Djourou. His originally dark face suddenly turned as if he was charred. He felt as if he had received a disastrous job.
Everyone at Arsenal didn't know that Senderos, who was as strong as Senderos at the beginning, was immediately knocked away by Su Dong.
Be it Djurou, Gallas or Kolo Toure, ask yourself, are their bodies comparable to Senderos?
Even Senderos was tortured by Su Dong and cast a shadow, can they get anything done?
Su Dong also felt the eyes of the Arsenal players, smiled and nodded to show goodwill.
But little did he know that his smile gave the Arsenal players a chill.
Why do you feel like you are hiding a knife behind your smile?
…
The Emirates Stadium was packed tonight.
All Arsenal fans in the audience held a team flag.
When the players from the two teams walked out of the tunnel one after another, everyone waved the team flag vigorously, sang the team song, and shouted slogans. The scene was so lively that everyone, even the fans in front of the TV, could easily
Feel the terrifying atmosphere at Arsenal's home ground.
Especially when the Gunners fans saw Su Dong, they booed overwhelmingly.
When the players from the two teams lined up to take pictures, Su Dong heard the boos and curses coming from the stands. He shrugged helplessly. There was really nothing he could do.
As a player, he has to represent the team he plays for and cannot please all the fans.
Hate it if you hate it!
Anyway, he was used to it.
…………
…………
At the beginning of the game, Bayern took the lead and kicked the ball directly to Mascherano.
The Argentine midfielder adjusted and quickly moved the ball to the right and handed it to Robben.
Robben tried to dribble the ball inside but failed and passed back to Modric.
Arsenal pressed very fiercely, pressing step by step, forcing Modric to pass back to the central defender, but the Gunners still forced themselves to the front of Bayern's penalty area, forcing Pepe to kick the ball in front.
Su Dong judged the ball's landing point and blocked Zhu Lu with his body.
It has to be said that this 18-year-old boy is in really good shape. He was holding on behind Su Dong, forcing Su Dong to be unable to stop the ball with his chest and could only header the ball to Ribery, but Sagna had already
Be prepared and take the first step to poke the ball away.
Arsenal took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack.
The whole stadium suddenly burst into joy.
Bayern quickly defended.
From this moment on, the Gunners controlled the ball.
Bayern's defense is very well organized and the press is in place, but Arsenal's ability to pass and control the ball is obviously slightly better than Bayern's. Even a defensive player like Alexander Song is good with his feet.
This is also in line with Bayern's prediction before the game. A team like Arsenal will not take the initiative to give away possession of the ball.
Looking at today's European football, apart from Barcelona, when it comes to possession of the ball, who is Arsenal afraid of?
The first shot of the game came from Cesc Fabregas's long shot from outside the penalty area. His cooperation with Nasri allowed him to pass Mascherano and suddenly took a long shot, but the ball hit the target.
Lucio's leg missed the goal.
In the subsequent corner kick, Lucio grabbed the spot and headed the ball out.
But on the outside, after Nasri got the ball, he passed it into the penalty area again. Neuer decisively abandoned the goal and grabbed the ball from mid-air before Alexander Song.
After getting the ball, Neuer called out to his teammates, glanced ahead, and quickly kicked the ball to the right side of the front court. Robben also started immediately and sprinted forward as fast as possible.
Gallas desperately chased back, while Sudong in the middle was also advancing at high speed, and the two defenders Djurou and Sagna were desperately trying to defend.
Robben finally got ahead of Gallas and stopped the ball with his foot. He also stopped suddenly and smashed the ball in an attempt to cut inside.
Just when he was about to get rid of Gallas, the French defender suddenly took a shot and hit the ball, but also tripped Robben.
The referee blew the whistle without hesitation and showed a yellow card.
The entire Emirates Stadium booed again.
"Bayern's counterattack was very fast. If Robben got past it, it would be really dangerous."
"This is the characteristic of Bayern's offense. Sudong, Franck Ribery and Robben are all players with strong personal abilities. In one-on-one situations, it is difficult for ordinary defensive players to restrict them. Many times they can only be forced to
Take foul."
"The location of this foul was just outside the 30-meter area. It should be considered pretty good. Gallas's foul was very decisive."
"A veteran is a veteran. He is very experienced. He is unambiguous when it comes to taking action and takes action directly."
"If there had been a little more hesitation, the foul would have been closer to the center, and the position might even have been more dangerous."
"The official data shows that it is 35 meters away from the goal, which is quite far away, and the position is slightly to the right. It should be said that Galas is very experienced in choosing the location of the foul."
Wenger was also constantly arranging the team's defense on the sidelines, but it was not against the human wall or anything else, but against Su Dong.
Obviously, the professor also believes that Bayern's free kick will most likely be played with indirect coordination, so you need to pay attention to the high points in the penalty area, such as Su Dong, Pepe and Lucio.
But just when Wenger reminded the players, Bastian Schweinsteiger ran over, picked up the ball, and put it on the penalty spot, but Su Dong suddenly ran over.
"I'll take this ball!" Su Dong gasped.
Schweinsteiger was obviously stunned for a moment, "Just fight?"
This position is more than 30 meters away from the goal, and it is not in the middle. Is it safe to hit it directly?
"Let's try it." Su Dong chuckled.
Schweinsteiger didn't have any doubts and ran away.
When Su Dong stood at the penalty spot, rearranged the football, and slowly backed away, there was a burst of exclamation from the entire audience.
"What's going on? Su Dong is planning to take the free kick directly?"
"This is not a good position."
"We must admit that Su Dong's free kick skills are indeed quite good, and he is even the first among the new generation of players. However, the difficulty of free kicks at this position is very high. I am afraid that he is not so easy to kick, but indirect and arbitrary.
The ball will be more certain."
"Otherwise, Gallas would not have chosen to play in this position."
"However, we saw that Bayern's players seemed to have no objections."
Arsenal also guarded Su Dong, fearing that he was deliberately bluffing and pretending to take a direct free kick, which was actually an indirect free kick. Therefore, all the high points were arranged in the penalty area, with only Nasri and Nasri being placed.
Cesc Fabregas made a double wall.
It's not that the gunman is too big, but that there is really no threat in this position.
Unless Su Dong is sure to hit a difficult world wave!
Modric ran over, stood with the two Arsenal defenders, and gave Su Dong a sly look.
Su Dong raised his hand in understanding, smiled, took a deep breath, and calmed down his breathing.
When the referee's whistle sounded, he quickly ran forward.
Modric, who was on the inside of the wall, also moved.
