Chapter 137 Professor Wenger

Florence's fast propulsion speed and Arsenal's destructive ability in the middle are not comparable to Chelsea's teams that regard the midfield as a turret.

Speaking of which, Arsenal really doesn't look like an English team. Under Wenger's **, they pay more attention to ground cooperation and push forward layer by layer around the point of Fabregas. At the same time, they actively use two sides to attack and defend the same, which is different from Barcelona's inverted triangular defensive array. Type, their defense pays attention to a sense of hierarchy, just like AC Milan, often the first defense line has been broken by the opponent, the second defense line has been organized, and the integrity of the lineup is maintained all the time.

This is Wenger, who has coached Arsenal for more than ten years, and this team has already branded him from top to bottom.

Of course, Wenger's tactics often attract criticism from others. Ferguson once laughed at Wenger for turning all the players under him into robots. Which leg he took first had to enter the program in advance, but he had to admit that Wenger's strict tactical arrangement was very effective, and with this tactic, he brought it to Arsenal. A glorious period.

If it weren't for the construction of the Emirates Stadium, if it weren't for the club's business philosophy, with Wenger's coaching ability and Arsenal's profound background, it would have been impossible to build an Arsenal dynasty in the Premier League.

"The two sides have not intended to test at all from the beginning. Fiorentina has invested a lot of troops in the attack, and Arsenal's defense is also very resolute. The two sides have launched a fierce struggle in the midfield!"

Wenger stood on the sidelines with his shoulders on his shoulders. Although the ball was controlled at the foot of Florence after the opening, he was not in a hurry at all. He was very confident in the team's defense.

Florence tried to transfer the ball into the penalty area twice, but the two central defenders judged the position in advance and pushed it out.

What worries him is the team's attack. Adebayor and Eduardo are not the kind of players who can attack with the ball. At this point, there is a big gap between them and Van Persie, but unfortunately Van Persie is injured.

But it doesn't matter. In this game, Wenger's tactical arrangement is to compete with Fiorentina in the first half and make room for the opponent to attack. In the second half, the Fiorentina players will not be attacked for a long time and will definitely be impetuous. In that case, their opportunity will come. Don't forget, Arsenal on the bench. There is also a little tiger Walkot.

Wenger's heart is silent: Don't worry! Don't worry!

His contract is only until the end of this season. So far, he has not made up his mind about whether to renew his contract. His old friend left, which made him a little disappointed in the club, but even so, even if he really wants to leave one day, he hopes to leave something for the team.

Now, 12 years have passed since I came to North London.

Although it has been a long time, Wenger can still remember his bits and pieces at Arsenal and remember that people were not convinced of him when he first came here.

especially Tony, the captain of the team. Adams looked arrogant when talking about Wenger's entry: "What does this Frenchman know about football? He wears a pair of glasses and looks like a teacher. He is definitely not better than Graham. By the way, does he speak English fluently?

Indeed, Wenger was the first foreigner to coach Arsenal. Before that, the arrogant Englishman had never heard his name, and many people felt that the board of directors had completely S.B.

The Evening Standard took the lead in using the sentence patterns that major sports circles, including the NBA, are happy to title "Winger, Who is that?" to "welcome" his arrival.

At that time, Wenger came to Arsenal with such a nerdy expression, and then began to change Arsenal from all aspects.

The first thing to do is to put Wenger's flag on the top of the Arsenal locker room. At that time, Arsenal's dressing room was a typical Anglo-Saxon clan, and the patriarch was Adams.

The bosses in the team are addicted to drinking and take training seriously. Almost half of the teams walk into the court from pubs on weekends.

But Wenger changed all this. He first persuaded captain Adams to take the lead in abstinence and let the locker room gradually move towards the path he designed. On the training ground, he subdivided the subjects and refined each event to minutes and seconds and the energy value consumed by the athletes, quantifying and scientifically, so as to greatly increasing the training efficiency.

After training, he completely changed the team's diet, abolished a series of previous British recipes, and turned the former fish chips into pasta and vegetable salads.

Especially on the game day, five or six hours before the start of the game, he asked the whole team to have a meal together, which changed the team's physical deficiency in the second half.

Of course, the most significant change is the performance on the court.

Before Wenger took office, Arsenal was a famous ugly team in England, especially in the Graham era, "suffy, stuffy, Arsenal", and the Gunners were the laughing stock of all England.

Wenger also admitted that he had heard about it before, but he didn't pay attention to it. From then on, he led Arsenal to a completely opposite road. The offensive, smooth and wonderful has become his target style in the next ten years.

Wenger carried forward the unique talent of Borgkamp, the Ice Prince, who joined in the same year, and let the 185cm strong striker go against the "wooden barrel theory". He did not make up for his height, but he was not good at headers. Instead, he could respond to his teammates, especially inside and outside the penalty area. The talent of the last pass expanded infinitely, which not only made the central defender defending Borgkamp nervous about every touch after receiving the ball, but also revitalized the previous iron attack line, and then summoned Vieira and Petite, Pira, Pira, Anelka, including Henry, Wiltod and so on, which lasted for several years. Senna built a strong French gang.

In the process of establishing a technical DNA for the team's tactics, Wenger realized the Frenchization and magnificence of Arsenal. Unlike most young coaches who like to comprehensively transform the team's attack and defense to establish a personal mark, Wenger showed patience and gentleness to the defense line.

All the five defenses in the Gringham era are reserved, respected, and received the respect they gave to the coach. Therefore, at the same time of technological transformation, the results did not regress at all. On the contrary, less than two years after becoming the owner, an undisputed double champion made Wenger famous all over the world.

Next was Wenger's glorious period, 49 games unbeaten, Henry's horrible 39 goals, and the whole process of the Premier League princes faced Wenger's Arsenal helpless and lost their armor.

The tactical secret can now be evaluated as follows: the traditional 4-4-2 is divided into two types, one is Manchester United-style diamond 4-4-2, with front waist and back waist divided into attack and defense; the other is Arsenal's disc 4-4-2, double back defense, without front waist.

These two 4-4-2s, especially the former, are widely accepted and used. Before the start of the unbeaten season, Wenger, with the sign of 4-4-2, began the first 4-2-3-1 revolution in the history of human football.

Because the double waist patch ensures the side defense, left frontback Pires began to cut frequently and even crazily, with internal cut passes, long-range shots, and internal cuts. Borgkamp is waiting at any time in the middle, taking advantage of ultra-high players and technical strategies, and the front-end striker, who is regarded as a waste wood left vanguard by Serie A. Henry began to rush into the left corridor like the boundless Horqin grassland, killing gods and Buddhas.

From the perspective of Arsenal's opponents, I felt the despair caused by this change at that time. When attacking, the right forward and the front waist met the tower-like insurmountable back of Arsenal. On the left side, there are two tough guys who basically don't attack and wait for the defense to break the ball.

And when defending, it is even more bitter. Pires cut from the side can pass, shoot, and cut in, and it is not like the traditional front waist to catch the ball from the midfield, which makes the opponent's back very unaccustomed to it. One person must be close to Borgkamp at any time, and the other has to follow Henry until the midfield, so that Indulging Henry repeatedly began to carry the ball from behind the opponent's right-back, slaughtered the right-back first and then killed the central defender.

What's more painful is that if the defense line is too right-leaning to assist in defending Henry, leaving a gap in the left rib will be inserted diagonally by Yongberry and retreating to different areas, and under the tactical arrangement of double waist arching defense, the whole team will be the sharpest blade as the left wing of 4231, and the best way to pass the ball and cooperate with Two technical team players with equally strong attack power took turns to achieve the tactical revolution of adding 11 people's abilities and multiplying variable N.

Left forward Pires scored 23 goals in more than 40 games, even among all today's midfielders, can only be described as horror.

It is true that nowadays, this kind of unremitting running position is not for your own personal assault, but to involve the opponent's defensive forces, create space for the three-person offensive group inserted in the back, and attack the area between the opponent's midfield and the defender line with the front waist, but at that time it was like a fresh The wind brushed the three British islands, and the rapid and smooth coordinated operations of multiple arms under Wenger, as well as the combination of various dazzling breakthroughs and transmission, made Arsenal form a mercury-like offensive style, and also shocked Premier League fans who are used to the midfielder organizing a front line outside the restricted area to bomb the restricted area. It is the famous stage of Wenger.

Of course, after 49 unbeaten games, followed by years of unsealing, but this is not Wenger's mistake. First of all, it is the most influential thing for Arsenal, the completion of the Emirates Stadium.

In 1999, Wenger promoted and participated in the board's plan to build a new stadium: "This project plays a decisive role in the club's survival in the world's highest level of competition. Either we risk building such a stadium, or we die in competition with other big clubs."

Indeed, looking at the operating income before and after the construction of the stadium, you can find that Wenger is right.

However, Arsenal's total liabilities have been about 600 million pounds since the 06/07 season. The amount of mandatory current liabilities that need to be repaid in a short period of time is huge, resulting in having to spend a lot of money to repay current debts every year. Cash determines purchasing power, although Arsenal's cash is not Less, after the end of last season, it was as high as 90 million pounds, but the transfer budget really allocated to Wenger is not much, because most of it is used to pay short-term debts and pay for various expenses, which eventually led to the competition in the transfer funds of players, becoming Arsenal's transfer since 2006. The root cause of market malaise.

In 2006, it became a milestone and watershed for Arsenal. After selling Vieira, Henry and others at high prices, Wenger integrated the acquired Adebayor, Rossiki, Walkot and other young talents such as Fabregas, Flamini and Senderos. Complete the reconstruction of the gorgeous team.

When the seeds of hope bloom and bear fruit, a brand-new Arsenal, which is no less than the double crown and undefeated division, will stand at the peak of the top rich family.

In such a grand plan, there will be no need for strong reinforcements in the next few years. Which club owner doesn't love such a head coach?

Especially after the beginning of this season, Wenger does not have a superstar in his hand, and he is not expected to buy any superstar in the next few years. After Wenger set the renderings of the future stadium into a computer desktop, he resolutely made another major overall change in tactics.

Now the key point of Arsenal's attack is no longer Henry the Great of the front line, Nor the Ice Prince Borgkamp, or even pseudo-left forward Pires, but the technical advantage of the entire midfield.

At this time, the midfield is mainly composed of four people on the court, Fabregas, Rosiki, Hleb and Flamini. The front line is Adebayor and Eduardo. Through the division of labor and performance of these midfields and fronts, we can see Wenger's new tactical ideas.

At the age of 15, he was discovered by Wenger. At the age of 16, he entered the first team and set a new record for the youngest goal. Wenger commented on him: "Mozart can play a very good piano at the age of 6, and I will never play so well, and some players are 17 years old, which I have never reached when I played football. Why? Because they are all special geniuses.

This is Sesk. Fabregas.

Accurate judgment, steady ball control and scoring, good overall view, super high ball players and good shooting methods when seeking cooperation, have been without stage fright since childhood. The bigger the scene, the better the performance. All these talents are combined in one, and Wenger's love and expectations for him can be imagined.

Therefore, from the age of 16, Wenger has been trying his best to cultivate Fabregas like raising his own son. The future of Arsenal's gorgeous football lies in the midfield, and the core of the midfield is Fabregas.

Fabregas also lived up to expectations. The overall performance of this season is definitely a superstar.

The core of the attack has landed, and the fighter group has a long aircraft. It's time to be equipped with wingmen. Wenger first signed the shining "Green Mozart" Rosiki in the national team. With superb technology and fast thinking speed, Rosiki looks elegant and light when combing the midfield. In addition, he also has a talent that can't be learned, passing the right ball forward at the right time.

Next is Heleb, which many people don't know. "White Russian Lightning" can often get rid of his opponents at an amazing speed and make goals and assists. His biggest feature is that he can't know what he wants to do next. He is especially good at scoring from the midfield. Before Wenger successfully signed him in the penalty area, Hleb often performed a good play of scoring goals by "thousand miles alone" in the Bundesliga, which can be called the "long-distance attack king" of the Bundesliga.

Comprehensive with the above three people, even if they have not seen the new gun fans of the Arsenal competition in those years, it is not difficult to find what the three of them have in common, the super high ball dealer.

Wenger's goal is very obvious, using three extremely smart, talented and talented young midfielders to create the team soul one by one creativity of the young guards.

Perhaps after the undefeated division's routine was figured out by the Premier League teams, he returned to make the professor understand again and again that no matter how sharp the tactics and personnel are, as long as the other party understands your principles, sooner or later there will be a desperate day. The professor is determined to attack him unprepared and surprise.

Let the opponent's defense line have no way to know who will attack Arsenal, how to tear open the defense line, which area to focus on attacking, and when to launch a general attack. But one thing is certain, Arsenal will create an unexpected situation with three skillful and accurate passes between No. 10 and passes or breakthroughs that stab the heart at any time.

In this 4132-like 442 formation, Fabregas's position is not fixed. When defending, he is side by side with a full-time midfielder to protect the defender line. When attacking, he covers the middle circle arc to the wide area of the penalty area arc. When changing from defense to attack, his responsibilities are the back, center forward, front waist and shadow front, with his string Rossiki and Heleb, and the two strikers actively run to find a gap. Once the attack group formed by the three No. 10 team pushes the ball into the area between the opponent's midfield and the defender line, they will choose to shoot or continue to cooperate depending on the extent to which the opponent's defense line is pulled until the ball is "passed" into the goal.

The two things Digan did most when watching Arsenal's game in his previous life were to marvel at Arsenal's running water. It's a pity that he had to cooperate like this in the penalty area otherwise he could score a direct shot.

This season, although Arsenal's record is not outstanding, their gorgeousness has been completely sublimated, like a death wheel dance, making their opponents sleep in Arsenal's wonderful ball control cooperation. When they suddenly wake up, they find that the cold sword has pierced their chest.

And these advances were made after Arsenal's reconstruction. Key players such as Yonberry and Reyes were released in the summer of 07, Henry, Acol, Campbell and Pires were released in the summer of 06. Vieira was released in 2005. Except for Gala and Rosicki, there were not many new personnel. The young man with the experience of playing in the professional league, Wenger commanded this group of vigorous young guards to fight all over the world. The gun fans are full of beautiful visions for the future. Returning to the top of Europe and making up for the regrets of 2006 seem to be just around the corner.

Arsenal has Wenger, so there is Henry, now Fabregas, a new stadium, today and tomorrow. But for Wenger, Arsenal is not a reasonable club and a good platform to show talent.

I believe there will be no opposition from Arsenal fans. Wenger is the greatest coach in post-war Arsenal history.

Over the past ten years, Wenger's achievements for Arsenal are obvious to all. However, in addition to the achievements, Wenger's contribution to Arsenal and even the entire Premier League is also very outstanding.

Graham has won a total of eight championship trophies for Arsenal, and Wenger has only seven so far, but no one has compared them. In addition to the difference between the kicking method and the scene, two double crowns and one Premier League undefeat can be described as great.

Wenger is widely regarded as a professor. From his own perspective, he is a football coach, but in the eyes of the majority of fans, it is far from this!

Wenger is a good teacher and friend, an elder and an idol. He is wise, self-conventional, kind, believes in fairness and justice, principles and dedication. Of course, there may be no perfect person in the world, but if there is, is it only Wenger?

First of all, as we all know, he is a coach. He brought gorgeousness to Arsenal, as to how he transformed Arsenal from a "stuffy egg" of the Graham era to a world's top gorgeous division, and how to bring amazing smoothness and ornamentality to the rough and powerful Premier League. It is no exaggeration to say that Wenger created the exciting new Arsenal!

As a coach, Wenger is absolutely successful!

Don't say that there has been no championship for many years, the champion can't measure everything. You can take a look at the achievements of financial investment like Arsenal, and then look at Arsenal's achievements to get a relatively fair conclusion.

Of course, Wenger is not no longer pursuing the championship, but he has higher requirements for himself. If he regards football as a game, Wenger plays at a "especially difficult" or "crazy" level.

He is insisting on following the traditional way, maximizing not taking advantage of external favorable factors, and relying on his own ability to achieve success and win the championship.

Other instructors can use a joking tone. Those who are relatively rich and invest in the transfer market are relatively large and play with ordinary difficulty, while those who invest in crazy loans, such as Real Madrid, such as Manchester City, have cheaters.

There is no doubt that as a coach, Wenger is successful. In the eyes of ordinary fans, what is more dazzling in Wenger is the brilliance of his own humanity.

In terms of world football, there are countless successful coaches. It is undeniable that many coaches have achieved better results than professors, but why can professors enjoy so much praise and respect?

In that year's FA Cup match, Arsenal scored a goal to win the game when an opponent's player fell to the ground. After the game, it caused controversy. Wenger took the initiative to propose a rematch to the FA. Imagine that several coaches could have the courage to score goals and win in the rematch. Although the opponent lost the game, they were convinced that Arsenal not only won the game but also won praise from all sides.

Wenger keeps his promise to treat all players fairly. He once said that as long as there is a good performance on the training ground, there will be opportunities.

Now Armonia, who is holding the goal of Arsenal on the court, should know this best. At that time, Lehmann was in a bad state, Armonia got the opportunity, and he seized the opportunity, although the fans are always worried about him, of course, it has a psychological effect.

But Wenger has no psychological scruples. He gives everyone equal opportunities. As long as he performs well, he always gets opportunities. There are only eleven positions on the court. Wenger is responsible for the team and then fair to everyone.

Many young players around the world regard Arsenal as their dream palace, attracting them. In addition to the fair opportunities to play, it is the coach who values and is good at training young players.

For 12 years, Wenger's life is full of football almost every day. Over the years, Wenger has been building his youth army, and he has been persistent and even called stubborn.

In fact, it is not difficult for anyone to figure out, just like everyone has a dream. People pay for it and insist on it. Wenger is also like ordinary people. He is pursuing his dreams. The difference is that his dreams are greater than ordinary people, and he is more persistent.

Wenger deserves the title of greatness.

Because not every coach can succeed in three highly different leagues, but Wenger has done it. From Ligue 1 to the Japanese J League and then to the Premier League, some people may mention Mourinho, but look at the money Mourinho spent to build a stadium.

Not every coach can deal with the club's old deep-fried dough sticks after entering a new club, let them be obedient and obedient. Look at Adams, they are absolutely violent and difficult to serve, but Wenger made them quit drinking.

Not every coach can take good care of all aspects of the players and provide them with scientific recipes. It may not be a big deal now, but it was different in those years. At that time, even the most mature NBA in the sports league had just implemented scientific meals.

Not every coach can bring good profits to the club. Looking at the Magic Bird, it may be more profound.

Not every coach can have such a charm on the board of the club? Ferguson? Yes, he has, and then what? Mourinho? He can speak, but he will not be respected. Wenger is the king's speech on the board, while other coaches are often A San's complaints.

Not every league coach can maintain a strong competition in the league and a place in the Champions League under the condition of selling the main force every year. In the past 12 years, there have been only four of the most stable clubs in Europe: Bayern, Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid.

Not every coach can bring a stadium to the team, and not every club coach can participate in the construction and design of their team's new stadium.

Not every team's coach can put himself in the shoes of the club's future. Wenger's greatest contribution is not the Emirates Stadium, but more importantly, Britain's first Kearney training base, the most scientific, advanced and comfortable training ground.

Not every coach, like Wenger, is more familiar with players around the world than most FM players.

Not every coach can be so unique and inject his faith into the team.

Not every coach has been so deeply loved by him even if he has not been crowned for many years.

Not every coach has the courage to challenge the authority of the world's golden yuan. Look at the present, even if the transfer cost of some small teams in the Premier League is higher than that of the Arsenal, Wenger is using the most essential football investment to compete with the whole impetuous world.

Time flies, and the stars change!

For more than 12 years, many people say that Wenger may really leave this time, but even at the crossroads of life choices, Wenger still wants to do his best to bring Arsenal this championship trophy that he has never been involved in.

On the court, the battle was fierce. Fiorentina's shot from outside the penalty area was directly caught in his hand by Amunia. After getting up, he threw the ball and launched a direct attack.

Arsenal's advance speed is also very fast, and their utilization rate of the stadium is even higher than that of Florence. As for Barcelona, which can only make short passes in the middle, it cannot be compared with it.

Fabregas's role is constantly changing. When he was defending just now, he was still in the back. When Amunia threw the ball, he immediately came to the center-back position, with Rosiki and Hleb on his side and Flamini behind him.

Fabregas received the ball, and Fiorentina attacked for a while, and the formation seemed a little messy, especially the gap between the midfielder and the central defender was a little big.

Fabregas immediately analyzed the form on the court. After receiving the ball, he did not let the football stay too much under his feet and passed it to Hleb. Hleb rushed to the left side of the court with the ball.

For a while, Florence's formation began to tilt in the direction of Heleb, and Fabregas and Rossiki rushed towards the front of Florence's penalty area. Eduardo and Adebayo, who were originally strikers, stuck on the line of the penalty area, attracting Fioren defenders.

Hleb's ball control technology is indeed the world's top, especially in the process of driving, the frequency under his feet is not slow at all, so that the marjo, who is responsible for defending him, dares not kick easily.

In Wenger's tactics, the two sides were originally very important, but after Yonberry, Pirrey and Henry left, he gave up the two sides and hoarded heavy troops in the middle. When attacking, he pulled to both sides and hit behind the opponent's full-back.

Although Marjo returned in time, Hleb's speed has risen. If he wants to get stuck, it is impossible. He can only keep retreating and giving up a large defensive position.

Suddenly, Hleb's arch turned and pulled the ball to the right side of his body. Marjo was shocked and helped Tiago in the defense. Silva also rushed up to prevent Hlebneche.

But at this time, Hleb passed the ball.

Wenger's eyes suddenly lit up, opportunity!
