Chapter 94
The game started.
What no one expected was that Burton took the lead in launching the attack.
Enzo and Nasri cooperated to advance quickly in the midfield, while Mathias and Murphy headed directly outside the Arsenal penalty area.
Then, Nasri found Mathias outside the crowd.
Unfortunately, the latter could not find any chances, and finally fired a cannon to salute the audience
"Beautiful, keep trying!"
Li Yanqing encouraged his players. He didn't think he would lose the game.
His players were in good shape. Although some of them didn't say it, their shape had become [excellent]. They wanted to win a championship for Jamie who was about to leave.
Quinn and Jamie sat on the bench temporarily, ready to play as the team's main attacking point in the second half.
"Look carefully, Quinn."
"Even though you have never played as a substitute in a few games, you still need to know what the substitutes usually do off the court."
"How the opponent moves, and what defensive habits the opponent's goalkeeper and defender have......"
"When the substitutes come on the court, we can focus on their weaknesses and attack them."
Jamie was talking to Quinn about his experience as a substitute, and Quinn kept nodding.
He always humbly accepted the teachings of the big brothers.
"return to!"
"Matthias! Don't just stand there!"
"Hurry back to your position!"
Li Yanqing was dissatisfied with this striker who had just joined the team for the first time. His role in defense was slightly greater than Jamie's, but his shortcoming was that he could not return to his position in time.
"You are now a left midfielder, not a left winger!"
"Don’t stay in the front court after the attack is over!"
After hearing the instruction, Matthias said nothing and ran back immediately.
In fact, this was not a big problem before.
The reason why the requirements for the players have become harsh is because their opponent is Arsenal, and they must not take it lightly.
The players did not blame their head coach for being a little too strict. He knew that the opponent's psychological pressure was much greater than his.
From players to coaches, they all took out twelve points of spirit to face this game.
The good news is that Walcott, who has the strongest breakthrough ability in the opponent's lineup, did not play at this time, and the pressure on the left was not great.
Right winger Iwobi could not break through the side corridor guarded by Miller and Sun Yan.
So far, the opponent's biggest offensive threat is still in the middle.
The midfield composed of Ramsey, Cazorla and Grant Xhaka is good at attacking and defending, and completely crushed the midfield combination of the Burton team.
Fortunately, when the pressure is not great, Sun Yan and Bradford can come to the middle to assist, and the opponent does not get many opportunities.
Joe Hart can hold on for the time being.
Li Yanqing is still quite satisfied with the current situation.
This is thanks to someone who can't play and Sanchez going to Manchester United......
"plum!"
"I have a good suggestion!"
In the 30th minute, Neville ran to Li Yanqing, looking a little excited.
"The opponent doesn't seem to have much interest in winning this game."
"We should just move Sun Yan to the defensive midfielder position and let Enzo go forward......."
"No, this is not a good idea."Li Yanqing shook his head decisively.
His idea was not bad. At present, the middle of the team was more dangerous, and there was no pressure on the right, so he put more people in the middle.
But he didn't know how uncomfortable Sun Yan was playing in the defensive midfielder position.
Li Yanqing still didn't want to recall how bad his performance was after he let him try the defensive midfielder position that day.
"But what he said still makes sense. You can't replace the defensive midfielder, but you can insert him."
"Sun Yan!"
"Go to the front court! Support the attack!"
After a little thought, he quickly made a decision.
Anyway, Sun Yan is fast, he can go up and come back, so there is no need to worry too much about losing the ball due to losing position.
"I can't believe that Burton is trying to add more people to the attack!"
The commentator on the scene first noticed this change and shouted loudly
"They want to win!"
"That's Arsenal, how dare they think that?"
"Did the young coach of Burton really think he could beat Wenger in this game?"
It was obvious that the other team did not believe that a team from the English Championship could beat Arsenal.
They had a poor record this season, and that was for a giant club.
If Li Yanqing led the team to the Premier League and got their current ranking next season, it would only be regarded as a brilliant resume for the young coach.......
In fact, Wenger himself was not worried that his team would lose.
He was observing the performance of Burton. Although the opponent had two long-established star players, Nasri and Joe Hart, he was not impressed by Matias, Baselli and others. The overall strength was not enough to overturn Arsenal.
What surprised him more was Enzo, Murphy and Sun Yan.
Murphy played very hard in this game, but he obviously could not break through the defense of Mertesacker and Koscielny.
Last time, Terry's [Master Marking] completely froze him, not to mention that there were two [Master Marking] this time.
But this did not hinder Wenger's judgment. He felt that this young man was still very talented.
His running position and speed were very good, but I didn't know how good his shooting was, because he had no chance to shoot in this game.
Then there was Sun Yan, whose speed was really good, and he was basically running wildly. He ended their attacks several times and occasionally got to the front to participate in the attack.
But compared with the first two, Enzo was the one he valued the most.
Although his organizational ability is far from that of the 16-year-old Fabregas, he also does a good job in helping the defense, which is better than Fabregas.
With a little training, it should not be difficult for him to reach Ramsey's level.
The old coach who is about to retire actually has some thoughts of signing someone at this time.
But he is not in a hurry.
After observing the whole game and watching their game video, it will not be too late to make a decision.
The opponent is only a Championship team, and it should be difficult for the players to resist the temptation of Arsenal.......
