Arsenal has not been smooth this past week.
After losing to Paris Saint-Germain at home in the first leg and losing the initiative to advance, Arsenal did not win Brentford in a league that was of little significance in a nearly all main force.
The physical fitness and morale were hit hard, which quickly lost confidence in them. After all, in the second round, they had to overcome their own away game difficulties in order to talk about creating some difficulties for Paris Saint-Germain.
However, at the time of the game, they received good news from Dembele's substitute.
Dembele's transformation has been obvious this past season.
In Enrique's pseudo-9 tactic, he seemed to have found a way to open it for many years, and the players themselves began to have positive feedback, and overnight they went from being addicted to games to young leaders who could lead the team.
Therefore, Dembelein's injury to the bench was undoubtedly a major blow to Paris Saint-Germain.
In contrast, when Arsenal was lifted from ban, Thomas Patty returned to his position, Rice returned to his position, and Merino was placed in the center position, replacing Trosad, who was mediocre in the first round.
compared with each other, the total score of 0-1 and the difficulty of away games seemed to have become less than expected.
So at the beginning 90 seconds, Merino showed his advantages in the Paris central defender:
Then, Arsenal showed his abilities and characteristics in the left and right directions, and also showed his intention to improve his intensity:
{optional offense, Martinelli and Odegau's attacks threatened Donnarumma:
This is what we mentioned in the first round. Merino should have used his body to create physical pressure on Paris Saint-Germain in the core area through the premise of changing positions.
At the beginning of this game, the role of him and Rice is clearly reflected. Even if you say that Thomas Patty's suspension requires Rice to appear in the midfielder position, and then Merino needs to retreat. So can't Merino switch to the center at 0-1? 90 minutes can’t do it, but 30 minutes can’t do it?
The offensive threat that started the game actually points out how rigid Arteta's idea is.
And during this period, Paris Saint-Germain's performance was indeed average.
The offensive end led by Douai and Balcola did not show his personal characteristics, nor did he clearly help the team at the low post. It was not until the 16th minute that Douai brought the ball to the frontcourt for the first time:
The reason why we did not mention Kvaratsheria was because at the beginning, his position in the off-ball stage appeared here:
From a certain perspective, this is one of the reasons why Paris Saint-Germain withdrew Arsenal's three tricks at the beginning. The sudden area lacked enough presence, but Luis Enrique let one side winger fall back into the back line, thus strengthening his backcourt. This is also a good way of dealing with it in the Guardiola coaching circle.
So, as Arsenal's offense gradually declined at the beginning, Paris Saint-Germain began to gradually regain some scenes, especially in the 17th minute, Kvaratschlia, who had a heavy defensive responsibility in this game, had a long shot and hit the post:
Just as the balance of power was formed, Arsenal's shortcomings began to appear.
In the 21st minute, Odega dribbled the ball this time, and actually stuck to the core area of Paris Saint-Germain, exposing the problem of no midfielder in their tactics. However, with the restraint and help of many teammates, Odega neither chose long shots firmly nor used technology to directly contact Martinelli on the weak side, and actually passed the ball to Rice who appeared beside him:
In this way, his previous tactics of dribbling the ball suddenly lost all, and the opponent's tension was greatly relieved. Martinelli did not expect that when he received Rice's ball again, the opponent's two defense and one had already fallen. Martinelli's data had another breakthrough failure:
And on Paris Saint-Germain, they almost caught Arsenal's backcourt pass mistake:
And in the 27th minute, Kvaratschlia created Rice's foul and yellow card in the press:
In this set piece, Paris Saint-Germain scored a goal, and the total score advantage expanded to two goals:
Therefore, Arsenal, who was behind in the score, could not improve the offensive efficiency, but in the early stage of the season, it made mistakes in the set piece that he was proud of. He lost 3 set pieces in 2 games, making each game extremely difficult.
In this case, it should be when Arsenal should have had a life of life, but the chances still appear more on Paris Saint-Germain:
, and on Arsenal, the subsequent offensive shots lack sufficient relationship with Odegao:
steals were snatched by Saka, crosses were made by Rice, fulcrum was made by Merino, and long shots were snatched by Rice.
As the captain, offensive core and the most favorable tactical environment in the team, Odegao is away from the team's offensive system, which is a very shameful thing in itself. On the contrary, when his teammates are away, they can at least make some straightforward attacks.. Of course you can say that he is very stable, but the four consecutive majors in four seasons are empty. The stability of the league has always fallen behind someone. Therefore, the cup competition lacks the ability to win with one blow, and the ability to adjust is almost no. The rotation idea is different from that of ordinary people, and it is all his lack of clarity.
The runner-up has no silver medal to win, which is probably the cruelest thing in football.
Now, Havertz, Saka and Martinelli have all injured their hamstrings, and Ben White, who is on the same side of Saka, has also recovered from injuries for a long time. Although Tinber still has Tinber in his position and can be replaced for the time being, but when seeing this team that has been overworking for many years, Arsenal fans must not forget a name:
Fu'an Jianyang. The question that Arsenal should always consider is how many players have physical fitness that can withstand the tossing of Arteta and his deformed tactics? Instead of how far is this team from the championship trophy?
As for Enrique and his Paris Saint-Germain, this team is still very extreme. This is reflected in every game, Paris Saint-Germain will experience some uncontrollable situations. This is related to Enrique's choice of no striker in the frontcourt, the small group arrangement in the midfield, and the back line favors technical central defenders. The entire team will be cramped when facing physical pressure.
But in this game, Enrique was able to violate the "ancestral teaching" to some extent. He made a similar idea of Guardiola's use of Jesus to play the left forward and frequently participate in defense when he played against Real Madrid, which still shows that he had some responses and desires.
Submitting for the championship is a good thing, including Kvaratskhlia, too.
His second seat, Paris Saint-Germain's first Champions League trophy is right in front of him, it depends on whether they can do it.
