Chapter 1109 The new problem of European football
The Inter Milan incident was still nothing in the end. Neither side expressed anything special, and the club did not make a public statement, as if it was going to be dealt with coldly.
As for the situation inside the locker room, no one knows the specific details. Although there are still various revelations, their authenticity needs to be verified. Focus back on your own game.
After Arsenal played the Champions League, they immediately switched to the English League Cup.
In this round of the English League Cup, Arsenal faced Brentford from the British Championship.
This team nicknamed "Bee" is famous for its tough British tactical style. In successive excellent games, their morale and fighting spirit are also extremely strong.
Brentford fans also believe that even if they can't beat Arsenal, they can play a wonderful game.
However, the process of the game made them a little unacceptable.
In less than 30 minutes, Arsenal scored four goals.
A defense line of Brentford, known for its iron blood, was directly sieved.
Even they didn't know what happened when they fell to the ground. When they recovered, they were already four goals behind.
This lagging behind is unacceptable to them.
I was full of confidence and wanted to show off in front of the Premier League team, but in the end I got a game that was almost slaughtered.
"This game has dealt a big blow to Brentford. Although the first half of the game is not over yet, with four goals behind, the possibility of Brentford coming back is infinitely close to zero!"
Paul Merson shook his head and said: "There is a big problem with their own tactical arrangements. I don't know what their head coach thinks, why must they confront Arsenal in the midfield!"
"You must know that this is something that even many Premier League teams try their best to avoid. Even Manchester City dare not put all the winners and losers on the midfield. Once they are blasted by Arsenal, this situation will form! "
"Four goals behind in 30 minutes, this is really"
Paul Mosen could only shake his head.
The main reason is that in this game, the comparison between Arsenal and Brentford's performance is too strong.
In the Championship game, Brentford is definitely a strong team.
They give a lot of pressure to the opponents in the Championship.
But this is the British Championship after all, and it has not yet risen to the top league.
They can play like this against opponents of the same level, but it doesn't mean they can play like this against Arsenal.
Just five minutes into the game, Arsenal instantly suppressed in midfield and scored two goals in a row while looking for opportunities.
These two goals have basically decided the outcome of the game.
In the arena, the Brentford players were more and more at a loss.
As Brentford's central defender, Kanos also shoulders the heavy responsibility of the team's defensive command. Under his command, Brentford rarely has problems.
But in this game, the defense he commanded was directly blown away.
He didn't think there was a problem with his command, but that the overall gap was too big.
Whether it is the conversion of offensive and defensive rhythms, the strength of individual players, etc., there is a huge gap in these.
The most obvious thing is the gap in the midfield.
Kanos didn't even know how to evaluate it.
In his opinion, Brentford's midfielder is strong enough, and they also spent a lot of money on signings in order to surpass the problem.
And their performance in the English Championship is also extremely good, and they have the potential to impact the Premier League.
But it was such a midfielder who was blown away by Arsenal in just 10 minutes.
Now for Brentford players, the Chinese wearing Arsenal's No. 4 jersey is a bit scary.
This guy's forward attack, they can't prevent it!
This guy can defend all of their advancing attacks!
In addition to Lucky, there is also Kanter.
The existence of these two people has greatly hindered the advancement of the entire Brentford.
The problem now is that they can't even get past Arsenal's midfield line.
boom! !
At this time, there was the sound of a kick.
The ball hit the crossbar hard and flew out of the baseline.
Lucky also stomped, obviously not very satisfied with this long shot.
But for the narrator, Le Kai's kick was tricky enough.
"Kay's form in this game is very good." After Paul Merson finished speaking, Dixon added; "It's not so much a good form, it's better to say that the whole tactic fits very well. Brentford wants to play with Arsenal. To have a midfield confrontation, which is exactly what Arsenal want, and the end result is what it is now, and there may even be goals."
"We are very clear that, based on Arsenal, Kay is an engine and a conning tower!"
"Even many people can't get around the problem of Kay when they study Arsenal."
"The reason why this problem cannot be solved is largely because Kay cannot end at this point. For this reason, it is difficult for Arsenal to be restricted."
"It can be said that before Kai's state declines, Arsenal's tactics themselves cannot be targeted!"
Paul Molson nodded; "It's like Robben once. Everyone knew he was going to cut inside, but they couldn't stop Robben from cutting inside."
"Kay's situation is similar. All clubs understand that Kay's importance to Arsenal must be restricted, but no matter what the restrictions are, they can't solve this problem perfectly. It can be said that this is after Arjen Robben. , Another big problem in football! This is also something that every coaching staff facing Arsenal needs to consider."
"Brentford's performance in the English Championship is certainly good, but in front of Arsenal, to be honest, it is not enough!"
Just as the two were talking, Arsenal launched an attack again.
This attack originated from the instigation of the full-back, that is, Bellerin's instigation.
Lucky didn't even run forward.
But even so, after the two full-backs occupied the wing and the winger occupied the rib area, the five-way attack once again caused Brentford's defense to suffer heavy losses.
In the end, Wilshere scored with a single shot.
Arsenal leads Brentford 5:0.
And the most important thing is that the first half of the game is not over yet.
But after this goal, Arsenal relaxed their offensive advancement.
After all, they can see that the Brentford players are on the verge of an explosion.
If they continue to exert pressure, it is estimated that they will probably get retaliatory fouls from the opponent.
For this reason, Arsenal slowed down their offensive rhythm for the sake of the next game and their health.
Intermission stage.
Arsenal made a substitution directly.
Lucky and Kanter get a rest.
With enough advantages, Mourinho is still willing to let the main players rest.
There is a goal lead, and Lucky and Kanter are talking and laughing on the bench. Under the current situation, the result of the game is already doomed.
And Brentford's fighting spirit has been almost exhausted.
80 minutes, Wilshere was replaced again, Arsenal used up all the substitutions.
At the same time, the competition has entered the final stage.
Compared to the first half, the second half was more dull, there was no too intense offense, and there were no goals.
But at the end of the game, that is, in stoppage time, Brentford scored a face-saving goal.
But it is estimated that Arsenal have released a little water.
In the end, Arsenal won the Carabao Cup victory and successfully reached the knockout round of the Carabao Cup.
The English League Cup knockout round will start in November, the FA Cup will start in January, and there will be more pressure from the Champions League and the league. Arsenal will still be under a lot of pressure in multi-line combat this season.
This is why Mourinho advocates rotation. After all, when they have time, they still need to get enough rest time.
After returning to the training base, Arsenal began intensive preparations for the next game.
During this period, they basically played double matches a week.
Carabao Cup, Champions League and League.
But now that the English League Cup is over in stages, they can focus on the Champions League and the league.
Arsenal's next opponent is Everton.
Everton has invested a lot in transfers this season. In order to increase the hard power of the team, they have spent a lot of money.
But so far, Everton's record is not good.
After five rounds of competition, 1-3-1, with six points in the middle of the standings.
