In football circles, it is very popular to use one sentence to evaluate a player.
The ability with the ball determines the upper limit of the player, and the ability without the ball is the basis for the player to stand on the football field.
This is actually not difficult to understand, because a player is off the ball most of the time in a football game.
There is also a rumor that it is said that the decisive factor why Ferguson valued the Argentine white wizard Veron was that Veron was the best running midfielder in European football at that time.
Is it surprising?
Everyone's impression of Veron is like his nickname, the White Wizard, but in fact, he can really run.
Standing in 2021, Gao Shen looked back and found that there was a faint main line in the development of football, and that was the running distance.
Through various factors such as scientific training, nutritionally balanced diet, and self-discipline of the players, the players on the court can run more and more, which leads to the total running distance of each team in the game getting longer and longer .
Many fans should still remember that the media has been rumoring that the first thing Wenger did after coaching Arsenal was to start with the players' diet, and improve their running ability on the court by changing the players' eating habits.
Then, there are plans to build a new training base and the like.
It is clear that Wenger puts more emphasis on the movement of players than other managers.
Someone once issued a similar soul torture, that is, why did Wenger's Arsenal always collapse in the second half?
Ferguson leads Manchester United, can reverse the situation in the second half every time?
Once by accident, twice or three times, there must be a problem.
Is Wenger's team only playing the first half, not the second half?
How can there be such a strange thing in the world?
The answer is actually very simple, that is, there is a problem with physical fitness.
Wenger was one of the first head coaches to bring the continental style of technology to the Premier League. He advocates passing the ball very much.
Like Barcelona, Wenger requires each player to have at least two or three exit points around him when he takes the ball, and it is best not to exceed ten meters, because statistics show that in the game, the passing distance exceeds Ten meters, the success rate dropped sharply.
How to do this?
Run, keep running!
Arsenal's pass and control advantage is to create a local number advantage through running, increase the ball point, and at the same time maintain the distance between players for accuracy, which makes the running distance of Arsenal players longer than other players. More teams.
In the first half of the season, just after the summer training camp, the Arsenal players are in the best physical condition, so the Gunners can always play smoothly, but in winter, there is no winter break in the Premier League, and the team fights on multiple fronts. Physical exhaustion, coupled with injuries and other factors, led to a sharp decline in the physical condition of Arsenal players.
The running distance is reduced, there are fewer contact points, the distance between players is larger, and the distance between each line of the team is also enlarged, resulting in more loopholes, which are exploited by opponents and cause problems in defense.
And the whole chain, in the final analysis, lies in physical fitness.
...
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines, patiently observing the situation on the pitch, waiting for a turning point, while also thinking about Arsenal's current situation and problems in his mind.
It is now March and, as in previous years, Arsenal's physical fitness has begun to be overwhelmed.
Of course, even so, Real Madrid still does not have the advantage.
But it is at least foreseeable that as the game progresses, Arsenal's physical fitness will become worse and worse.
At that time, as long as Real Madrid have the lead and try their best to defend, they have a chance to hold the score and take away a miraculous comeback from Highbury Stadium.
That's why he made up his mind to attack at the beginning.
Grab a wave and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
After scoring a goal, the player has confidence and can defend more resolutely.
If you don't score a goal, even though you have to stick to it, you can only resign yourself to fate.
After Arsenal sold Vieira, the style of the entire team was weak and not tenacious enough, but Real Madrid is not necessarily better than Arsenal in this respect.
But if there is a goal, then the situation is completely different, the mentality of the players will be different.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen glanced at the scoreboard.
Ten minutes into the second half.
He looked calm on the surface, but he was still quite worried in his heart.
...
In front of the coach of the home team, Wenger couldn't hold his breath anymore.
No one knows Arsenal's problems and weaknesses better than him, so he is also preparing in advance.
Pires should be warming up.
Reyes had no temper at all being guarded by Arbeloa tonight, and he couldn't even make a decent breakthrough from the left.
Instead of keeping him on the court, it would be better to replace him.
Up to now, the competition has become a competition of fighting spirit and will of both sides.
Tonight's Real Madrid is almost like a reborn general, completely different from the Bernabeu.
Wenger is also feeling the pressure.
If it wasn't for Henry's dribbling breakthrough that created a penalty before the end of the first half, he really couldn't imagine the current situation.
Even so, he was still worried.
"Fifty-five minutes, and Real Madrid should be almost exhausted."
...
Not only Wenger, but also the fans and guests in the stands, the commentator of the live TV broadcast, and many professionals and fans in front of the TV, all followed Wenger's lead. Greg thought exactly the same.
Real Madrid is really exhausted!
People are not machines after all, they can keep running when electricity is connected.
No matter how high the fighting spirit of Real Madrid is, no matter how strong the willpower of the Real Madrid players is, there will still be times when they will fall.
And as long as Real Madrid's attack and oppression fails to work, and they retreat, they will never come out again.
Losing their stamina, Real Madrid had nothing left to parry.
By then, the game will be completely dominated by Arsenal.
...
When the game progressed to the fifty-seventh minute, Real Madrid was once again frustrated on the right.
Beckham stopped the ball, looked at the frontcourt and the left side, and then shifted again with a big foot.
The ball flew across the midair of the court, crossed a beautiful arc, and landed precisely on the left side.
Filipe quickly jumped in, stopped the ball with his chest, and pushed forward with the ball. After attracting the attention of the defense, he sent a direct pass to the left side of the penalty area.
Zidane ran over quickly, blocked Eboue with his body, and stopped the ball first.
Taking the ball with his back, after a short pause, Zidane turned decisively to the right and quickly sent the ball into the penalty area.
Raúl chased the ball, but Kolo Touré got ahead and blocked it out of the box.
Zidane just turned around and saw that Raul didn't grab the ball in time, but was stabbed by Kolo Toure instead, and he immediately chased after him.
The French midfielder is tall and has long legs. He squeezed Fabregas away abruptly, and took the first step to intercept the ball.
When Zidane was protecting the ball with his back, Felipe had quickly stepped in and raised his hand for the ball.
After receiving a pass from Zidane, the Brazilian left-back stopped, saw Negredo in the penalty area, and sent a cross with his left foot.
The ball crossed a diagonal line and fell to the right of the penalty spot.
Negredo just ran over from the right and judged the landing point before Senderos, but the Swiss central defender blocked behind him, which made the Spanish center have no choice.
Just when he was hesitating what to do, he saw a figure rushing towards him quickly.
It was a familiar white figure.
Negredo no longer hesitated, headed lightly, and sent Felipe's pass to the arc of the penalty area.
I saw the white figure sprinting at the fastest speed, just in time to meet Negredo's header, and rebounded from the landing point. He didn't stop the ball, and shot directly with his feet.
A muffled bang was heard at the scene, and the football went straight to the goal like a shell.
All of this happens in the blink of an eye.
Standing on the sidelines, Gao Shen only saw Filipe's cross, saw Negredo's header ferry, and then saw De La Reid plugged in and shot directly.
When I tried to see clearly again, the field was in chaos.
Immediately afterwards, the referee Rubes' whistle sounded for the goal to be effective.
"Wow! Wow!!!"
Gao Shen was stunned for a moment.
He first raised his hands in disbelief, and then the whole person couldn't help cheering, rushed out of the coach's command area, and ran all the way, trying to chase De La Reid.
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!!! Wow!!!"
As soon as Gao Shen rushed out of the coaching area, he was immediately blocked by the staff on the sidelines.
They tried their best to make Gao Shen calm down, calm down, and violated the rules, but Gao Shen's mind was still blank, and his mind was filled with only one thought, a goal!
De La Reid really scored! ! !
This damn goal is finally here!
At this moment, he even had the urge to cry aloud.
De La Reid rushed off the court excitedly, but was soon tripped by his teammates on the grass, all hugged together.
Real Madrid's players were crazy, they all gathered around and celebrated wildly.
"God, this is incredible!"
"Real Madrid's attack in the second half broke Arsenal's goal again."
"This is from Real Madrid's youth training, Ruben Delared's kick and then volleyed Shoot!"
"A very sudden shot of a cold arrow is very surprising." Gao Shen was persuaded by the fourth official to return to the command area, he apologized for his impulsiveness just now, but unconsciously, the corners of his eyes became moist.
At this moment, the feeling of being brought back from the dead is so fascinating.
Lucas, Ma Queda and others were also celebrating with obsession. When they saw Gao Shen, they all surrounded him and hugged him.
On the side of the court, after celebrating with his teammates, De La Reid ran back to the court, ran over to give Gao Shen a high five, and gave Gao Shen a big hug.
This scene was also captured by the live broadcast and presented to fans all over the world.
"In the previous match against Atletico Madrid, Raul also hugged Gao Shen after scoring a goal, but now, De La Reid has repeated it again."
"This makes us have to believe that this 25-year-old Chinese national The coach, perhaps because of his superiority, was able to convince Real Madrid's players so well and played such a wonderful game with ups and downs at Highbury Stadium."
"In the one-to-zero match just now, Real Madrid just equalized The score was drawn, but now it is 2-1, Real Madrid successfully reversed Arsenal with their valuable away goals.
" One minute, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid, because they will face a crazy counterattack from Arsenal."
In front of the coach of the home team, Wenger was already impatiently making substitutions.
And it replaced two players in one breath.
