Chapter 492 Damn sense of security

Arsenal played a 4-3-1-2 formation in this warm-up match.

This formation was inspired by Juventus.

Arsenal's current configuration can also meet the needs of this formation.

Four backs are in charge of defense.

Among the three midfielders, Kante defends full-time, Luckey can play the ball, Wilshere can dribble, and the two together can make up for their versatility.

And Aubameyang's position is a bit erratic. He is currently the left striker, but when tactical demands, he needs to drop back to temporarily act as a midfielder.

To this end, Arsenal's lineup swayed back and forth between 4-3-3, 4-4-2 and 4-3-1-2.

That is, while focusing on defense, you can also play enough counter-attack tactics.

Seeing Arsenal's lineup, Monaco's head coach Jardim was a little troubled.

He couldn't figure out what medicine the interim head coach of Arsenal was selling.

But he still asked Monaco to play in a 4-3-3 formation.

The final lineup of both sides.

Arsenal (4-3-1-2):

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Chambers, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal.

Midfielder: Kante, Wilshere, Luckey, Aubameyang.

Forwards: Sanchez, Suarez.

Monaco (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Subasic.

Defenders: Toure, Raj, Carvalho, Coentrao,

Midfielders: Pasalic, Moutinho, Fabinho.

Forwards: Bernardo Silva, Carrillo, Elder Costa.

Monaco took the lead.

Moutinho, as Portugal's midfielder, is also watching Arsenal's position.

Arsenal played defensive counterattacks, but that was two seasons ago, so he was extremely unfamiliar with such an Arsenal.

If Arsenal's defense shrinks, what kind of defensive strength and counterattack strength will be formed, which is completely unknown to him.

However, he was not too worried.

He thinks that Monaco's current strength is still good.

After the kickoff, Monaco did not rush to attack, but kept passing the ball to find opportunities.

Arsenal didn't show the frenzied pressing of last season.

Instead, watch the opponent's movements in the backcourt.

Both teams are in a kind of tentative phase.

The two head coaches are also observing each other's lineups, while comparing with the confidence gathered.

Soon, Monaco took the lead in attacking.

Attacks from the flank, mainly from the flank of Pierre Costa.

They felt that after avoiding Lucky, the attack should be easier.

As soon as Costa received the ball, Kante stepped forward to limit it.

Costa is not in a hurry to make moves, but think about how to pass the ball.

But there was a sudden exclamation behind him.

"Be careful!"

Costa hadn't reacted yet, and Sanchez receded to press.

At the same time, Kanter also suddenly stepped forward to give pressure.

Costa was completely surrounded.

With the combined efforts of the two, Kante got the ball and passed it to Lucky.

Lucky started to fight back on the spot.

But instead of passing the ball directly, he strode forward and he was attracting the defensive force.

Sure enough, Moutinho rushed towards Lucky when he could not retreat in time.

Seeing the opponent's move, Le Kai raised his right foot while running and passed the ball in a blunt posture without saying a word.

This is not a long pass in the traditional sense, but more of a mid-to-long-range pick.

The ball formed an arc and fell on Aubameyang's breakthrough path on the left.

Aubameyang stopped the ball in his chest after completing the forward move, and without waiting for the ball to land, he took it directly towards the middle.

In the middle, Suarez made a quick start, and a diving header pushed the ball into the goalkeeper's arms.

After landed, Suarez rubbed his hair angrily after seeing that he failed to score.

But he still gave Aubameyang a thumbs up, indicating that the pass was good.

Aubameyang is also happy in his heart. This attack has no sense of stagnation before, but has been smoothly integrated into the entire team. This rhythm and playing style are familiar to Aubameyang.

On the sidelines, the two coaches were also surprised.

Monaco coach Jardim was amazed at Arsenal's speed of transition from attack to defense, and formed a counterattack in the first moment of the pressing.

And Lucky's pass is the finishing touch.

Although he has already explained to the players to be careful of Lucky's passing, but in this kind of counterattack situation, it is impossible to shrink the defense line, and it is impossible to completely block the neutral space behind.

Arsenal's defensive counter attack was much sharper than expected.

"Fallback! Turn around and catch the ball!"

Le Kai retreated while reminding his teammates.

Lekai will remind every time, even if you don't say it, the players will do the same.

But just in case someone gets lazy!

Therefore, Lucky takes the trouble to remind every time.

Under the reminder of Lucky, the Arsenal players quickly retreated and turned around to prepare for the top fight.

This also frustrated the Monaco goalkeeper's plan to get the ball fast.

Arsenal played extremely rigorously and did not give any chance at all.

The same goes for Aubameyang on the field.

Laziness is contagious, and when one person is not on the defensive, others do the same.

On the contrary, when everyone does their own thing seriously, the defense will become extremely strong.

This retracement is the best example.

What they do is simply run back, then turn around and wait to catch the ball.

But everyone has done this, and the pressure formed cannot make the goalkeeper easily play the ball.

Even the ball will be contested.

Conservatively, we will tee off towards the two full-backs, which also greatly reduces Arsenal's defensive costs.

A very simple thing, but it forms a very effective defense.

This is the wholeness of this Arsenal!

At Dortmund, Aubameyang suffered a lot in this regard, but now he has joined it and become a part of the whole.

But I have to say, this feeling is very good.

Suddenly, Aubameyang saw a pass from Fabinho and passed the ball to Silva behind him.

"Oops!"

When Aubameyang was distracted, Monaco suddenly launched a counterattack.

Aubameyang was a little annoyed.

He turned to chase the ball when he heard a snap.

The ball flew out of the touchline.

He saw Lucky get up from the ground and walk towards him.

Aubameyang was a little nervous. He heard that Luckey was very short-tempered.

Sure enough, Le Kai frowned slightly at him.

Aubameyang is even more nervous.

"Concentrate! Don't be afraid to make moves, I'll give you the bottom line!"

Lucky patted Aubameyang on the shoulder.

The latter was stunned.

What's with this **** sense of security?

Le Kai also observed Aubameyang's expression when he turned around and nodded slightly.

In the recent period of contact, Le Kai discovered a feature of Aubameyang.

This guy has a glass heart!

It cannot be said that self-confidence is insufficient, but it gives a feeling of inner vulnerability.

This can be seen in last season's games, and when he is at a disadvantage, this guy becomes confused.

Therefore, in the face of this kind of player, rather than criticism, what is needed is encouragement.

Their mentality is not very good.

You can't just pour fuel on the fire and let it collapse, but guide it slowly.

And once Aubameyang is out of form, this guy's ability is also very powerful.

Perhaps, he will become Arsenal's second goal besides Suarez.

After Le Kai retreated, he clapped his hands and said loudly; "Okay! Strikers, you have to watch the show to see when we need to attack, we need to score!"

Lucky roared suddenly; "Comeon!!"

Gunners! ! ! !

Everyone shouted in unison!

Although it was the first time that Aubameyang shouted like this, he was almost subconsciously followed by his teammates.

But for some reason, after shouting, my heart became extremely restless.

The whole person has a strong urge to break the opponent's goal.

Look at other teammates, their expressions are the same.

At this moment, Arsenal's players seem to have regained the state of last season and turned into hungry wolves.

On the sidelines, Patrice couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

This state is right!

Despite a different tactical play, Arsenal is still the same Arsenal!

These hungry wolves are already grinning, waiting to tear each other's throats!
