109 Strictly guard down

Burnley's players meticulously carried out George's pre-match deployment. Even if they steal the ball, they will not easily fight back. Burnley's counterattack was only Robby Keane, Yongberi and Camoranesi. Therefore, Burnley's attack was interrupted by Arsenal without passing the ball a few times.

Arsenal's defense is not a vegetarian. They have been working together for many years. Although they are all in their thirties, they are definitely a steel defense line.

As long as the ball is broken, the Burnley player will immediately play on defense. Yongberi and Camoranesi will not stay in the front court like other games, but all return to half-time defense.

Although George plays rogue tactics in the game, what George admires and likes most is the full attack and defense tactics created by the legendary Dutch coach Michels. Whether George was a fan or a coach, his favorite thing was the Dutch team's full attack and defense.

The full attack and defense tactic was created by Michels in the 1970s. From Ajax to the later Dutch national team, the great tactic of full attack and defense has created countless splendors. It also had a very far-reaching impact on the later development of football.

What George wants to try most as a coach is this kind of full attack and full defense tactic. Unfortunately, in the increasingly utilitarian football world, George can't achieve these things. George is not an idealist. He can't always stick to beautiful football like a coach like Wenger. George is very realistic. As long as he can win the championship, it doesn't matter whether he is beautiful or ugly.

It may be because of this that George can't become a master like Michels, and he can leave a deep footprint in the development history of world football.

Because George likes all-attack and all-man defense tactics, George especially admires a sentence. Defense is not just a matter for the defender, and offense is not just the responsibility of the striker.

What is real defense is that all players are involved in defense.

It can be imagined that there are ten people defending at the front of their penalty area, and it is absolutely difficult for Arsenal to find a neutral block.

In this game, George focused on Arsenal players. At present, the most threatening Arsenal players are Ovimas and Borgkamp. These two are the source of Arsenal's current attack and players who have the strength to change the game on their own. So George took great pains to deal with these two players.

Ovimas, the Dutch left winger, is very fast. Once he is allowed to run, no England can really keep up with him. And the small technology is also quite excellent, and you can find breakthrough opportunities in some small spaces.

But Ovimas is too awkward to play this game. Although this is Ovimas' first season in England, Ovimas likes English football very much. Although the Premier League is fierce and moves more than the Dutch League, most of the Premier League games are open and close.

There are few defensive players in the Premier League, and there will never be a scoundrel like George. English fans don't like George's shrinking defense. Even if the team in the relegation zone meets Arsenal, it is very open to play. They won't shrink back because you are strong. This style of play is very suitable for Arsenal. Arsenal's midfield and backcourt is extremely powerful. Once the ball is broken, it can play a very beautiful counterattack. This tactic is very much in line with the characteristics of Ovimas.

This open style of play will have a lot of room for Ovimas to give full play to his speed advantage. After Ovimas came to the Premier League, he was completely like a fish in water in Arsenal.

But I didn't expect this game to be so awkward. Burnley is completely defended by the number of people. A group of people in the backcourt, not only someone followed Ovimas closely, but also someone stared at him closely before and after. Under this kind of defense, Ovimas is completely uncomfortable. How to kick is so awkward.

Because Arsenal's midfielder can't pass the threat ball, Borgkamp frequently withdraws to respond. George Borgkamp doesn't dare to relax at all. Borgkamp is the kind of player who can change the game as long as he gives a second.

Therefore, Neil Lennon followed Borgkamp almost step by step. As long as Borgkamp takes the ball, he will hold him from behind and prevent Borgkamp from taking the ball comfortably. Neil Lennon will not only use his body against the Borgkamp, but also use his hands and feet to constantly make small movements behind the Borgkamp.

Under the rogue defense of Neil Lennon, Borgkamp couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and the anger in his heart was rubbing up. Not only Neil Lennon, but also Barak always pays attention to Borgkamp's side. As long as Borgkamp has the attitude to get rid of Neil Lennon, he will help defend against the past.

Under this intensive defense, Borgkamp also played quite awkwardly today. Unable to find a little passing route, the position of Borgkamp was killed, and Arsenal's offensive quality was halved.

"Burnley's defense is watertight. Judging from the first 25 minutes of the game, Burnley knows Arsenal very well. It seems that George has always been very concerned about Arsenal. Martin Taylor looked at the situation on the court and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Yes, Arsenal has never found a good opportunity to shoot. Up to now, Arsenal has only talked about three shots, and they are all long-range shots outside the penalty area with no threat. Burnley goalkeeper Jas Kleinen was not threatened at all.

"Now that Yongberi and Camoranesi are defending, is Coach Levy really going to defend the penalty shootout?"

From the beginning to now, George has not left his seat, and George is very satisfied to see Burnley's defense. Burnley players have done a perfect job so far that Arsenal can't find a little way to attack.

Arsenal's proud Ovimas can't find an assault route on the left. When breaking through intensive defense, three methods are the most effective.

The first is to use players with strong long-range shooting ability to continuously make long-range shots at the front of the penalty area. In this way, it is easy to make the defense move forward, so when it comes to intensive defense, it often strengthens long-range shots.

There is also the positioning ball. The set-piece is a very important weapon to break the defense. When there is no way to fight, the set-piece is a pretty good way.

The last way is to need a point, a point that can break through the defense. This is the power of the so-called superstar. Later, after Barcelona became strong, many teams used intensive defense against Barcelona. During the period of Ricard, Barcelona had Ronaldinho, an unpredictable genius. And when it comes to Guardiola, there is Messi's point.

Both of them have a characteristic, that is, they can break through several defensive players in a row with their own efforts. It can disturb other people's defensive system at once. It can not only create a positioning ball, but also tear open a little gap in defense in an instant.

Now Arsenal lacks such players. Ovimas turned out to be a point like Arsenal. But under Burnley's key care, he was unable to exert his due strength.

"Arsena, should we make some changes?" Pass Wright asked in a low voice next to Wenger.

Wenger frowned and looked at the situation on the field. Before the game, Wenger thought that Burnley would be a defensive counterattack. But looking at the current game, there is no counterattack for Burnley. It's completely huddled to play defense in the first half, and the defense is all aimed at the current Arsenal.

It's not that Wenger doesn't want to change, but that Wenger's entry into Arsenal is too short. The transformation of Arsenal is not completely over, and this Arsenal is not the best Arsenal in Wenger's mind. There are really no players in the bench who can change the result of the game on their own.

"No, let's take a look first. Their defense requires a strong concentration, and I don't think they can have such concentration in the whole court. There will be negligence."
