Chapter 136 Young Meet Young
Digan looked at the little man standing beside him and couldn't help but be a little surprised. The memory of his previous life told him that Fabregas did serve as the captain of Arsenal, but Digan didn't expect it to be so fast.
Degan and Fabregas are not strange to each other. In addition to their previous experience of playing in the Champions League finals, it was the Belgian team led by Degan who defeated Spain away and let the matador miss the World Cup qualifiers after securing a qualifying place. 2006 World Cup in Germany.
In that game, although Fabregas was selected into the 18-man list, he did not get a chance to play, so he had to watch Spain being defeated by Degan alone on the bench.
"I've been waiting for this game for a long time!" Fabregas suddenly said that he was using English, "I remember that game very well. I have been waiting for this opportunity for revenge for a long time!"
Digan pretended to be surprised and said, "Contest? Which game!?
Fabregas was angry: "Don't tell me, you've forgotten!"
Degan smiled and looked up at Bregas: "I haven't forgotten the game, but I don't remember you were on the court at that time, okay! I don't want to quarrel with you. If you think you are qualified for revenge, come on! I also want to know how capable you are!"
To be honest, Digan really doesn't see Arsenal's opponent. Although it belongs to two different leagues, Digan is very clear about Arsenal now.
Infighting, internal consumption!
The most serious is Wenger. His contract with the team is only until the end of this season. It can be said that the team is now panicked. At present, these players of Arsenal are basically trained by Wenger. Once Wenger leaves the team, what kind of fate will these players be?
Especially after Henry left, Arsenal has never been able to find a striker who can take on the heavy responsibility of attacking the city for the team. Looking at Arsenal's goal distribution this season, you can see that although there are excellent strikers such as Van Persie, Adebayor, and young talents such as Walcott, but Senna's important attack points are all midfielders.
It can be said that Arsenal is no longer the Arsenal that set 49 unbeaten records.
Arsenal in the 03/04 season definitely deserves the title of the best team. In that season, Arsenal won 26 games and tied 12 games in 38 rounds of the league, scored 73 goals and conceded 26 goals, and finally won the league championship with 90 points. At the same time, the team's top scorer Henry won with 30 goals. Golden Boot Award. Looking back on Arsenal's original lineup, Saul. Campbell, Ashley. Cole, Vieira, Robert. Pires, Jonberry, Bergkamp, Henry and so on.
At that time, Arsenal was unparalleled. Since Preston in 1889, Arsenal became the first team to win the league championship unbeaten in a season.
It was that summer, Abramovich acquired Chelsea and then introduced Duff, Peron, Joe Cole and other stars. Many people thought that the Blues could succeed. Also in the summer, Beckham left Manchester United for Real Madrid, and Manchester United was banned for not participating in the drug test. Unable to play for four months at the beginning of the season, Manchester United bought Cristiano from Sporting Lisbon. Ronaldo.
But that season was destined to belong to Arsenal. Henry's firepower was extremely powerful, and the gunmen were advancing all year round. In the end, they ascended the throne at the home of their sworn enemy Tottenham Hotspur. At that time, there were still four rounds of the league.
"Everyone must admit that we are the best team in the country." After winning the championship, Ice Prince Borgkamp said excitedly, "We play in a different way, and we deserve this honor."
But the original Arsenal has become history. The Ice Prince retired, Pires went to La Liga, Vieira left Serie A, and Ashley. Cole switched to Chelsea, and even Henry, the king of highbury, left the team.
Now Arsenal is completely the head of the family. People say that Florence is a young guard. In fact, this title also applies to Arsenal.
If there is anything that Arsenal can worry about, it is the young of this team.
Young people are destined to lack experience, but in the same way, youth also means that they are fearless.
When it comes to Arsenal's rejuvenation, perhaps Alan Hansen's so-called famous saying can still be taken out for drying: the so-called children's army can't achieve a big deal and won't win the league championship.
But he made a big mistake when he used to evaluate Ferguson's young guards, and now it may not work out to describe Arsenal.
Wenger's Arsenal, if the players who love to study the number of appearances in the league, is probably the team after the league, but if they are young and strong, physical strength, fighting spirit, offensive resolute and efficiency, etc. are the most important factors in the football world, Arsenal is of course the biggest favorite in the league. yi.
What are the benefits of youth?
As far as the Wenger Legion is concerned, the biggest advantage is that it has the physical strength to ensure the whole game for 90 minutes and play high-speed oppressive football. Even if the opponent's iron barrel array is successful in the 60 minutes of the opening game, the subsequent lack of physical strength is enough for Arsenal to find a chance to kill in the next 30 minutes!
Look at the technical statistics of this season, Arsenal accounted for 70% of the total number of goals scored in the league 60 minutes, ranking first in the Premier League.
What caused Arsenal to rank first in the Premier League in the last 30 minutes?
Putting aside the factor of luck that is fair to any team, Wenger's offensive tactics are the first reason. After he came to the United Kingdom, he has long turned Arsenal into a team that serves his strong tactical genre in southern Europe. The team is the main attack regardless of home and away, the formation is closer than ever, and the whole team is large. The forward pressure caused the core players to no longer run alone in the front court, but had multiple footpoints and breakthrough points.
Ground penetration is used extremely frequently. Although unlike TiKi-TaKa in Barcelona, which pays attention to small-scale cooperation, and the style of the English team is also destined to be careless in their technology, due to the small adjustment range of personnel every season and the high degree of tacit cooperation, there is almost no high penalty kicks in the whole game. It was rumored, but the attack was still devastated. The original strength was outstanding, and with the implementation of the offensive concept to the end, it was not a problem for other teams to be passive.
There are also many "little adults" who are young and have a mature competitive mentality. Young players around 20 years old lose their physical strength in psychology and experience, especially psychology. There are many examples of headwind ball and downwind ball, but Arsenal is not. Take Fabregas and Walkot as examples, although However, they are very young, but they will not have stage fright in front of the big game at all, but try to give full play to their due level according to the coach's deployment. Even in the face of strong enemies, young players will become more and more brave, which well reflects the positive position of young players in the Arsenal.
In addition, there is a physical problem. The tactics are right, and the attack wave goes up, which may not be destroyed. Arsenal's opponents are basically opponents of the same league, and they are also a high-level professional team. If they know that they can't beat, they will adopt a strategy to defend themselves, but at this time In addition to testing the psychological stability of the team members, it can also respond to the physical use of the team members.
60 minutes later, people's physical fitness is bound to go downhill, and the function of coordinating work in all aspects of the body will also decline significantly. Whoever has a good physical reserve must be superior. Whenever the game is about to end, the opponent is exhausted, while Arsenal's little tigers are young and vigorous, and their kinetic energy is still there when sprinting. When passing the ball, his eyes are still sharp, and his feet still feel reliable. With his excellent physical ability, he can deal with the fatigue of his opponent. If he doesn't want to lose the ball, the opponent can only rely on luck to stack luck.
Youth is the capital, and the concept of attacking at the expense of physical strength is also the young Arsenal.
However, the worries of other teams are not applicable in front of Florence, because Florence is also young, and these young people are equally skilled, tacit and physical.
When the players of the two teams entered the field, people could feel a breath of youth blowing into the Flagy Stadium, and some reporters in the stands couldn't help but brighten their eyes.
Look at the lineup of the two teams, Fiorentina's goalkeeper Frey, Anthony and Thiago on the defensive line. Silva, Compani and Marjo, midfielders Ledesma, Arteta and Machena stand in parallel, Hamsik takes charge of the front and midfield, and Digan partner Mutu on the forward line.
Arsenal's starting 11 players, the goalkeeper is Amunia. In the summer of 2004, Amunia joined Arsenal from Spain's Celta. Since then, he has been sitting on the bench. This season, the Spanish finally ushered in their own opportunity, due to the two low-level main goalkeeper Lyman at the beginning of the season. By mistake, Wenger completely lost confidence in the Germans. Amunia took the opportunity to take office. He has played 21 times in the league this season, and the Champions League is the starting lineup. Lehmann has been forced by him to leave the team.
Left-back Clichy, 18-year-old Crissey joined Arsenal in August 2003. The idol of the young French player at that time was the offensive and defensive England international Ashley. Cole, and now he has finally become Arsenal's second "Ashley. Cole, Christie started in the league midfield this season, and he also played all the games in the Champions League. He has become Arsenal's new left-handed Tianzun.
Central defender Toure, so far this season, the Idyvan has played all the games for Arsenal, and has become the sea god needle on Arsenal's defense line. Toure has outstanding defensive awareness and excellent header ability. The only shortcoming is that it is easy for the opponent to make a penalty, but considering that his transfer fee is only With 150,000 pounds, the cost performance of IIvoire is amazing.
Central defender Gala, who was dissatisfied with being a guest left-back at Chelsea, went to Wenger. Under the professor, Gala finally got his favorite central defender position. After Henry left, he put on the team captain's armband. In addition to being watertight in defense, Gala's header in attack is also unique. Arsenal's home goal to Chelsea this season is Gala's masterpiece, but because the stinky mouth is not locked, Gala's captain's armband has only changed for more than one season, but the stinky mouth cannot deny his strength. In the central defender In this position, he is definitely Toure's best partner.
Right-back Sarnia, Sarnia joined Arsenal from Auxerre last summer. His excellent performance in this position made Wenger have to make up his mind to move the position of Io d'Ivoire international Ebue to midfield. With his excellent performance at Arsenal, Sarnia has After being summoned to the national team by Domenech, he performed so well in his first year in the Premier League. No wonder Wenger thought that Sarnia was naturally suitable to play in the Premier League.
Middlefielder Flamini, the current Flamini is not the waste of being praised as a high-paying and low-power outstanding representative by fans around the world in AC Milan in the future. The biggest feature of Flamini is that he is versatile. He is qualified for multiple positions in the midfield, and this season he has played with Fabregas in the back position. The French have performed very well. It has become an important pawn in Wenger's hands, even Brazilian international Gilberto. Silva has been squeezed to the bench by him.
Midfielder Fabregas, excellent data directly proves Fabregas' central role in Arsenal. The Spanish young player is only 20 years old, but since Henry left, he has grown into the new core of the team. Even if he read the news that Real Madrid and Barcelona are chasing him in the newspaper, it has made people understand him. How important is it? Nowadays, young Spanish people wear the captain's armband, which highlights his indispensable importance in Arsenal.
Midfielder Hleb, when he transferred in the winter of 2005, Hleb left Stuttgart to join Arsenal. Since then, he has become an indispensable player in the shooting field. This season, Hleb's average score in the league is as high as 7.1 points, which is even higher than Fabregas. As the core of the Belarusian national team, Hleb's role at the Emirates Stadium cannot be underestimated.
Middlefielder Rosiki. In the summer of 2006, Rosicki moved from Dortmund to Arsenal, and since then he has been the absolute main force of the team. Rosiki's technical shooting has been greatly improved this season. At present, he has helped the team score 7 goals and 1 assist. As one of the iron triangles of the midfield, Rosicci is indispensable for Arsenal's excellent performance.
The departure of striker Adebayor and Henry has completely inspired the combat effectiveness of the Togolese. This season, he has scored 16 goals in the league for Arsenal, which also makes him the second best scorer in the team after Fabregas. However, Adebayo must also improve his goal rate in the Champions League, and so far he has not scored a goal in Europe.
Former Eduardo, if it hadn't been for Van Persie's injury, I'm afraid Eduardo wouldn't have come to power so quickly. Now he has scored 9 goals on behalf of Arsenal in various competitions. Van Persie's accidental injury has given the Premier League defenders a strong ability to seize opportunities in advance.
In today's world football, especially the twilight Italian football world, such a battle with a storm of youth can definitely be said to be rare.
"The average age of the players of the two teams in this game is not more than 25 years old. This is the first time that the competition between the two youth teams has appeared in the top competition in Europe. It is foreseeable that this game will definitely be a contest between Mars hitting the earth."
On the court, the players of the two teams have completed the entrance ceremony. Degan and Fabregas stood together to enforce the main referee of the game, who was the Icelandic referee who previously enforced the first round of the match between Florence and Chelsea.
What happened at that time was vivid in his mind. He was afraid that Degan would do this again today, so he simply reminded him directly: "I hope that both of you can focus on the field in this game. I don't want anything unpleasant to happen!"
Digan couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard this. Fabregas doesn't have a sister-in-law. Will he bite people around like a mad dog?
"Of course, we all hope to present a wonderful game for everyone today. How about you? Spanish!"
Fabregas sneered: "I agree too!"
With that, Fabregas took the initiative to stretch out his hand. Seeing this, Degan also smiled and reached out and shook his hand with Fabregas, and then guessed. Degan regained the title of God of Gamble and got the ball.
"That boy seems to have been staring at you!" Fabregas outside Mutu's circle glanced at it.
Digan shrugged his shoulders: "No way, Adrian! You know, my attraction has always been gender-neutral!"
Mutu listened and almost spit it out directly. The tension before the competition was swept away and scolded with a smile, "Rod! You bastard, be careful of your buttocks later, but don't lower your head to pick up the ball!"
Digan smiled unscrupulously: "Don't worry! Even if there is such an opportunity, I will give it all to you!"
"Get out of here!"
"Get out of here!"
"Bi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
At the beginning of the game, Digan scolded the last sentence and kicked the ball directly to Mutu. When Mutu's words came to his mouth, he was blocked back. His face turned red and he almost abandoned his martial arts.
"Okay! At the beginning of the game, Fiorentina took the lead in attacking. It is not difficult to see the formation of the two teams. In today's game, there will definitely be a fierce collision. The formations of both sides are very forward. Florence's passing speed is very fast. Arsenal did not retreat, but began to encircle from the midfield. The two sides gave It seems that they all don't hesitate to do anything!"
