PS: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books do not require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

Wenger was thinking in his heart, and at this time his thoughts had long been floating in which corner.

So, in the eyes of outsiders, Wenger, who sat in the coach's seat without saying a word, looked a little dull, was obviously shocked by Fiorentina's overwhelming advantage in the midfield and did not play the role a head coach should have.

At this time, we can see Wenger's fatal weakness as a head coach. That is, when an emergency or an accident occurs on the court, the professor rarely comes up with a timely response, but just watches the team be flattened and rubbed by the opponent bit by bit.

At this time, Wenger was more like a qualified spectator than a prestigious head coach!

If the Arsenal coach standing on the sidelines at this time is Capello or Ferguson, they will definitely make a quick decision to run to the sidelines to order the team not to continue to compete with Fiorentina for midfield control, give the ball to the opponent, and change to the defensive counterattack.

If Wenger can position Vieira, who has a good overall view, as the starting point of the counterattack, and the Ice Prince plays a tactical fulcrum, allowing Anelka and Ovemas to use speed to threaten Fiorentina's goal, then Arsenal will not be able to fight in this game.

Unfortunately, Wenger, who sat firmly on the coach's seat, did not take any measures. He just watched Fiorentina, who was more technically superior, pressed step by step, completely suppressing Arsenal back to their half and not making any progress!

Afterwards, Fiorentina, who had completely controlled the midfield, began to launch an offensive against Arsenal's goal!

Facing Palor's press, Redondo made a splash of balls under his feet, and at the same time, he turned around lightly, easily avoided Palor's steal, and then dribbled the ball from Palor who was not close enough.

Seeing this, Petit hurried forward to make up for defense, but before he arrived, Redondo had already passed the ball to Lengbery on the right.

After getting the ball, the Swedes took two steps forward, and immediately passed the ball to Zanbrotta who was inserted from the back to see if he could use the advantage of the number of players in some areas to break through Arsenal's left-side defense line.

However, Winterben, who is responsible for Arsenal's left defense, performed quite steadily at this time and did not give Lungberg and Zanbrotta a chance to make a breakthrough. After all, this Arsenal left-back was an old man from the Graham era back then. No matter how his personal abilities are, his defensive ability is definitely quite reliable.

It can be said that the reason why Wenger was able to quickly break Manchester United's dominance against the Premier League champion after becoming Arsenal's head coach is definitely an indelible contribution to the five defenders left by Graham!

Back to the game, Zanbrotta found that Winterbourne in front of him did not reveal any flaws, so he did not choose to force a breakthrough, but passed the ball back to Ryomberg who came to pick up. After all, before the game started, Capello specifically emphasized to them in the locker room that he should play as patiently as possible in this game, and do not rush to break through or attack when he gets the ball, control the rhythm of the game, and wait for Arsenal's defense to break through and then kill the opponent in one fell swoop!

In this way, while the Arsenal player who was trying to steal the ball was moved, the ball was passed by the Fiorentine players in the midfield for a whole circle, which made many fans feel a little confused. I thought to myself, wasn't Fiorentina planning to attack tonight, but was preparing to walk the dog?

Capello, who was standing on the sidelines, nodded in appreciation when he saw the players performing like this. According to his analysis, Arsenal's offense is based on accelerating the pace of the game, which can be seen from the speed of their attackers.

Palol and Ovemas are both the kind of wing assaulters with excellent technical speed. It is common for them to drive the ball and run for dozens of meters; Anelka's speed is also not slow, and the breakthrough ability of this French rookie can be considered first-class. In addition, Borgkamp, ​​who is at the peak of his career, has not yet deteriorated in such a hard indicator of speed, Arsenal's overall advancement speed in the offense is terrifying!

Although Fiorentina's frontcourt offense is not slow, unlike Arsenal's pursuit of overall advancement in fast-paced offense, Purple Lily's speed is more reflected in the cooperation between several players in the counterattack, plus the multi-level three-dimensional counterattack tactics. In terms of absolute speed, Fiorentina is actually not as good as Arsenal.

Therefore, in addition to the previous battle for control of the midfield, Capello has another point, that is, to completely slow down the pace of the game and never let Arsenal start the rhythm easily!

For Fiorentine players, they have long been accustomed to various game rhythms. After all, on Serie A, the highest-level stage in the world, there are such a group of head coaches who are thinking about tactics every day, and without strong tactical adaptability, it is obviously impossible to gain a foothold in Serie A.

Therefore, whether it is fast or slow, there is no difference for Fiorentina. However, for Arsenal players who are accustomed to the fast pace, this slow game rhythm makes them feel extremely uncomfortable, which makes it difficult for them to exert all their strength in the game. At the same time, when the midfield is suppressed, Borgkamp and Anelka have to retreat more to the midfield to ask for the ball, and these two people are far away from the penalty area, which greatly reduces the defensive pressure of Nesta and Stam.

Moreover, since Fiorentina has much more ball possession time than Arsenal, this means that Fiorentina will launch more attacks and create more opportunities to shoot.

Faced with Fiorentina's tide of offense, Arsenal players had to further compress their defensive formations, protect the penalty area and its frontier areas as much as possible, and try to use the iron barrel formation to resist the opponent's attack.

Faced with this situation, it was Vieri and Effenberg's turn to tear open Arsenal's turtle shell with strong attacks and long shots!

In the 16th minute of the game, Redondo used a Marseille circling to get rid of Petit's pressing, and then extremely concealedly knocked the ball to Effenberg with his heel. The German tiger leaned against Vieira, who was swaying his claws, and directly swung his right foot to meet the ball and shoot angrily!

Although Siman was already a thirty-five-year-old uncle, he was as dizzy as in the Korean and Japanese World Cup a few years later, and his competitive state was still at a very high level. Facing the powerful and heavy ball shot by Effenberg, he steadily blocked the ball from the goal line with both hands!

The only drawback is that Siman, who made a successful save, did not confiscate the ball, but blocked the ball back into the penalty area - this was also impossible. With Effenberg's long-range shot, Siman really didn't dare to make such a move, because this might lead to some unpredictable consequences.

Uncle Siman's omission happened to be caught by Ronaldo. When he saw the ball bounce back into the penalty area, the alien rushed forward immediately to prepare for a shot. Keon, who was responsible for guarding him, was not Ronaldo's opponent in explosive power!
