With Manchester City''s high pressure on him, Arsene Wenger''s eyes leaped on the sidelines.
He knows better about his team than anyone else. Arsenal''s defense is a problem.
Let''s say that in the last round against Manchester United, Arsenal''s two goals in the second half were almost due to the mistakes of the players.
One is that goalkeeper Almunia made a mistake and tripped Wayne Rooney. He was given a penalty and Rooney hit.
Another is United''s free kick attack, Diaby''s back in front of the goal to fight for the header, but the ball to the top of his own goal, into an own goal.
Arsenal''s defensive problem is not just these two times. Goalkeeper Almunia is unreliable. The new comer Vermaelen on the defensive line seems to have scored many goals and won the reputation of a guard with a knife, but the defensive aspect is still not reassuring.
Needless to say, in midfield, the role of Alexander song is crucial.
It is precisely because he clearly knows his team''s problems, so Arsene Wenger did not dare to support the big game, and adopted a more stable strategy, changing the situation 442, hoping to be able to stabilize the position and grasp the defense.
From the start of the game, Gao is very clear about Arsenal''s problems, so he holds on to the Gunners'' back line and the goal to play in the future. The purpose is to create pressure in Arsenal''s back field and force the Gunners to make mistakes on their own initiative.
In this case, the whole formation of Arsenal has to be pulled apart, especially the four wingers, who are more active in the two side areas and seldom run to the middle, so as to facilitate the passing of their teammates.
After the start of the game, Arsenal''s possession rate was obviously higher than that of Manchester City.
But there is something wrong with Arsene. Is it too easy?
As the team with the highest average possession rate in the Premier League this season, how can they give up the right to control the ball?
Arsene can only say that apart from Gao''s intention to do so, he can''t think of any other reason.
So why do you do that in the cold?
Arsene Arsene Wenger''s eyes were quickly wandering around the pitch, hoping to find the answer to his doubts.
He knows the high cold and knows that it will never do meaningless things.
What''s more, alpine is not only able to pass and control the way of playing, but also has a unique ability of organizing and pressing.
What on earth does he want to do?
…………

Compared with Arsene Wenger''s anxieties, Gao Han seems relaxed.
Standing in front of the coach''s seat of the home team, watching the game quietly, he looks confident and has the temperament of Confucianism.
"See, it doesn''t matter whether the ball is good or bad. It just depends on how you use it. It''s like a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it will hurt the enemy. If you don''t use it well, it will hurt yourself."
Gao''s words are a bit enigmatic. Brian Kidd didn''t understand them, but he knows Arsene.
"Over the years, Arsene Wenger has been committed to achieving a certain balance between the traditional style of the Premier League and the technical style of the mainland. Therefore, Arsenal''s ability of passing and controlling is unique in the Premier League. The players he has cultivated are also of great strength. Even the defensive players like Alexander song have good technical skills."
Gao Han nodded, which he agreed with.
"Arsene''s idea reached its peak in the 2003-04 season. The group of players in the team formed an Arsenal team which can be called Arsene''s peak. It''s a pity that..."
When Brian Kidd said this, he turned his head and took a look at Gao Han. The latter looked innocent, which made Brian Kidd smile helplessly and didn''t go on.
However, Arsene is very unlucky, at the peak of the team, met the cold, and he coached the abnormal Chelsea.
That season''s Chelsea is very similar to present''s Manchester City, although at that time introduced the player fame is inferior to now, but afterwards proved, including Ronaldinho, Eto''o and Ibrahimovic many players, finally degenerated into the superstar.
It was in that season that Chelsea defeated Arsenal in two games and finally let the Gunners get nothing.
This is expected to be a permanent pain in Arsene Wenger''s career.
If it wasn''t for the cold, maybe he should be famous that season.
Gao''s heart is very helpless. He knows what Brian Kidd means, but how can he think that after the brilliant 2003-04 season, Arsenal suddenly tighten their money and sell the captain continuously, leading to the team''s poor strength in recent years?
What does this have to do with him?
Even if Arsene Wenger wants to blame, he can only blame the management of Arsenal. Who let them not play football, but tear down the Highbury stadium and go for real estate?
As a result, when real estate was launched, the European economy ushered in a crisis, real estate became a loss business, even affected the daily operation of Arsenal, forced to tighten the money, and sold the star in charge continuously.
"Alexander song is really good, is a midfield barrier, but Fabregas in order to better organize the midfield, the position is more forward, Denilson and Diaby are more active in the wing, rarely rush to the middle."
Cold this faint words, but let Brian Kidd eyes a bright.
The old coach, who has been in charge for many years, has a clear understanding of the tactical arrangements before the alpine games, and of course can catch the signals revealed in the alpine words all at once.
"Two ribs!" After Gao Han said this, he couldn''t help laughing.
"Let David Silva and Modric be in the front position, increase the force in the middle and front court. As soon as they get the ball, they will pass to them. As long as they don''t lose the ball, they can immediately organize the attack and kill Arsenal!"
…………

With the cold coming to the sidelines and taking the lead to make adjustments, Manchester City began to play more threatening.
On the contrary, Arsenal, after losing the first goal, are eager to fight back and desperately want to hold the ball. Diaby and Denilson still cling to the side and rarely support in the middle.
Just five minutes later, city created another chance.
After the backcourt, Modric retreated to catch the ball, turned to get rid of Fabregas and pushed forward quickly.
Alexandre song and Diaby rushed to the rescue and wanted to attack from left to right, but Modric suddenly made a diagonal pass and shifted the ball to the right.
Sturridge and Clichy are competing for speed on the right side. The local English player obviously overtook the other side. After catching the ball first, he killed to the forbidden area. After attracting Almunia''s attention, he crossed the middle.
At this time, Benzema, who had been lying in ambush in the middle of the road, arrived and easily pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. Almunia couldn''t reach it and watched the ball enter the net, 2-0!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”
"In just five minutes, Manchester City broke Arsenal''s goal again
"This time it was an attack from the right rib. Modric skillfully got rid of Fabregas, pushed forward with the ball, attracted the attention of the defense, and then crossed the side
"Sturrich''s speed is very fast. Clichy can''t catch up at all. He can only watch him enter the penalty area and cross the goal. French genius Benzema scored his first goal since joining the Premier League this season."
"Two to zero!"
"Manchester City have been attacking very hard recently, and Arsenal''s defence is a bit overwhelming
"We can see that after the on-the-spot command in the cold, Manchester City''s offensive has improved a lot, especially David Silva and Modric, who obviously began to attack Arsenal''s rib constantly."
"It seems that Arsenal''s attack against Manchester City was unexpected. They were beaten through the defence in a row, which is very fatal
"With the ability of Manchester City''s forward players, it''s easy to score as soon as the defence is broken."
"Two to zero, Arsenal are in danger now
