Chapter 303 Short Passing and Counter-Attack?
Arteta reacted quickly as well.
When he realized there was a problem on the field, he immediately used his substitution.
They didn't substitute Cazorla, who had been leading the attack, or Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, or any of the others. Their performances were all quite good, so there was no need to rush to replace them.
He replaced the attacking player on the other side with another defensive midfielder who would partner with Cazorla.
It's hard to say whether the goal is to enhance offense or defense.
"Don't even think about it, they don't have the habit of strengthening their defense."
"In my opinion, it's just about stabilizing the backcourt, and then we'll still put the spots into the attack."
"They play short passing, so defense isn't always that important."
Lehmann has some experience against teams that play short passing.
He was someone who personally witnessed the peak of that Dream Team Barcelona.
It emphasizes ultimate ball control and stretching.
In recent years, simple short passing has become somewhat outdated, so Guardiola made some changes, but the core remains the same.
Arteta's exact level is still unknown, but he certainly won't surpass Guardiola's.
“That makes sense,” Li Yanqing nodded in response.
But the problem is, he didn't seem to sense how much the other player liked to control the ball?
After a brief passing in the midfield and backfield, the ball will be sent to the forwards.
If there's an opportunity, push forward; if not, pass the ball back.
However, during this process, their passes were frequently intercepted by Burton.
It looks a bit immature.
Yes, if Arsenal was already past its prime when Li Yanqing first arrived in the Premier League, Arsenal now is like a child who hasn't even reached adulthood yet.
He is extremely talented, but still has room for growth.
"They relied too much on individual player abilities in attack and didn't connect the entire frontcourt together."
"The only commendable aspect is the speed of the offensive and defensive transitions."
Li Yanqing was carefully analyzing the opponent's kicking style.
Despite the many problems, he didn't think the other person was bad.
On the contrary, this is a formation with great potential.
He was learning by stealing techniques...
Over the past decade, Mourinho's defensive system and short passing combinations have been the two strongest systems.
He has mastered the essence of counter-attacking, but Mourinho is not going to teach him how to play short passing combinations.
What has always bothered him is why counter-attacking and short passing can coexist in one team?
The core point of contention is that one side prioritizes possession of the ball, while the other completely disregards it.
But Li Yanqing felt that the conflict between them wasn't that big.
It is very difficult for a player to possess both counter-attacking and short-passing abilities at the same time, but if we broaden our perspective to the whole team, Li Yanqing thinks it is not a problem.
It doesn't necessarily require the entire team to play a defensive counter-attacking style; as long as four or five players can execute a short-passing attacking system, that's sufficient.
Just like Arsenal now.
As for the attack mode, it is not fully compatible.
However, short passes can be used as a second attacking tactic after a failed quick counter-attack.
Similarly, if such a system is established, teams will not need to be afraid of having the ball.
Even wearing down the opponent's stamina in the midfield or backfield is a good strategy.
As for a suitable player, Burton already has one in the squad.
Araujo
He has been performing well recently and possesses short passing skills.
Find another defensive midfielder, a midfielder, and a striker, and the central axis of short passes can be completed in a day.
It would be very difficult for Burton to directly learn Guardiola's tactics because his players are all configured for that system.
But the current Arsenal is a perfect example to learn from.
It's just getting started, and the tactics are already clear...
A few minutes later, Burton scored his second goal.
Dybala once again broke through the opponent's defense with his individual ability and then passed the ball to Kvaradona, who cut inside.
This kid finally scored against a strong opponent!
If there are more of these kinds of situations, I believe he will become more and more confident in his inside cuts.
2-1, they've taken the lead!
Then, Arteta clearly got a little anxious.
He used his last substitution first, and unsurprisingly, he intensified the attack.
They replaced the exhausted Cazorla and brought on an extra striker.
Uh......
It still has its uses.
The most obvious change is that Burton's man-marking tactics are a bit lacking in manpower.
Aubameyang often manages to break through Manolas' defense, although the latter has consistently performed well, but even one successful breakthrough by Manolas can pose a significant threat.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yan, who was covering for the midfield, noticed that one of the opposing players wasn't marking him. After he moved up to cover, the middle area became completely empty...
As expected, the score was tied.
Then came Li Yanqing's adjustments...
The two head coaches took turns strategizing, making crucial moves at every crucial moment.
As time went on, the weaknesses in each other's defenses became more and more apparent.
This goal-fest has now officially entered its most intense phase...
Ultimately, the score was tied at four to four.
In terms of the game, Burton played a bit better, but Arsenal had a slight home advantage and managed to secure a draw.
They are indeed immature, but the team tends to be more competitive when playing at home.
There are many factors involved.
Number of fans, familiarity with the environment...
In conclusion, it ended in a draw.
"Great performance!"
I'm so happy for you!
After the match, Cazorla walked over to Li Yanqing, who immediately gave him a hug.
The veteran's performance in this match was amazing.
However, Cazorla looked embarrassed; he had actually come to apologize.
"sorry."
"I know it's wrong to do this."
"But I feel that Justin is needed more here..."
“You don’t need to apologize,” Li Yanqing said magnanimously.
His thinking has now completely changed.
The selection of players is their own business, and developing players of the level of rotation starters is not too difficult for him.
"How he chooses is his business."
“When he first came to Burton, he was very decisive, on the condition that he had to leave a good transfer fee for his previous club.”
"He was still the same when he went to Arsenal; he hadn't changed at all."
"He's always been like this."
"I have only one request," Li Yanqing said, holding up one finger.
“You haven’t been at Burton for very long, but you’re all former players of mine.”
"I hope you all succeed."
"At the same time, don't tarnish Burton's reputation."
"Every player who leaves here can contribute to their new home!"
"Of course, you're my former employer..."
