It’s still a familiar position, or four, two, three, one.

"This is really surprising. Lin made an adjustment in this important game that no one expected. The player who replaced Bale who was injured in the national team game was not Robinho or Petrov, but David Silva. We thought Lin had changed the lineup to kill the three midfielders in this game, but now it seems that Vidal is clearly ahead of the position..."

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, who was responsible for broadcasting this game, got the starting list and was as confused as Wenger. When he saw the Manchester City position after he played, he said in surprise, and the famous Alan Smith was sitting next to him at this time.

This Alan Smith is not the fierce player who once broke the blood for Manchester United on the court, but a former Arsenal legend and now a sports commentator on Sky TV. Martin has won the league championship twice at Arsenal, but he has no intersection with Arsenal's current head coach Wenger, because he announced his retirement in the summer of 1995, while Wenger only took over Arsenal in 1996. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Martin rarely cares about Wenger's face when evaluating Arsenal.

"Vidal's position should be more subtle. Although he is now at the forefront, his role in the game may not be the organizer. I don't think Lin will risk changing the organizer in such a game. His move is mostly to curb Fabregas's activities in the midfield." After all, he is a professional. As soon as Martin spoke, he pointed out Lin Sen's intention.

"That organizer... or David Silva?" Andy Gray looked at David Silva who was aiming at the screen at this time, "Organized winger?"

In recent years, the strong rise of wingers and the decline of classical midfielders, many teams often do not set up the role of front midfielders in the arrangement of troops, but instead give more organizational tasks to a character called "metronome". Ancelotti during the AC Milan era was the fueler, and the existence of Pirlo has benefited AC Milan to this day, and now Barcelona has strengthened this confidence for all teams. However, metronomes are not available for every team, so it appears in a role called organizational winger. As the name suggests, it plays as the position of wingers, but does the work of organizing offense. The most typical representative figure at the moment is Bayern's Ribery.

"If I remember correctly, David Silva often played this role when she was in Valencia." Martin nodded.

Martin was right. This was exactly what Linson dared to bring David Silvara to the side in this game. This move was also the first problem Linson had set against Wenger.

Whether it is Manchester City or Arsenal, they all know where the opponent's seven inches are. Everyone wants to pinch the opponent's seven inches first. But Lin Sen has moved the seven inches to six inches now. If Arsenal still wants to pinch, they will inevitably need to make changes. For the organizers, the sight and space on the side may not be as broad as the middle side, but it is not without benefits, that is, you can avoid the middle area where the opponent is often heavily guarded and can stop the attack more calmly.

Just like now, Fabregas on the opposite side not only needs to face the shadow of Vidal specially arranged by Linson, but he also has to find a way to wear out the encirclement formed by two other midfielders in Manchester City. If Wenger does not make any changes, then in theory, he only has one main opponent, that is, the opponent's right-back Sagner.

However, the reason why people criticize the fact that the truth always shows some deviations that you cannot control.

From the beginning, the pace of the game was very fast, just like many people's impression of the Premier League, but the number of shots on both sides was not much. According to Lin Sen's idea, Manchester City, which should have at least had some advantage at the beginning, did not gain much advantage. There was no problem with defense and the offense was blocked mainly because David Silva did not seem to have entered the game state. After the opening, his breakthrough success rate was really not high. The opponent's Sagner was very successful in his defense with the assisted defense of his teammate Song.

Logically speaking, since Song's defense is tilted to the left, Arsenal's midfield defense should be weakened. After all, David Silva alone restrained two people. But in fact, Arsenal, who plays 442 in the formation, can actually be understood as 451, because Van Persie will often retreat to the midfield to receive the ball, so the number of players in the midfield on both sides is actually equal.

At this time, Fabregas, as the midfield commander, showed his role. After finding it difficult to get rid of Vidal, the Spaniard immediately changed his role according to the situation on the field, and was more about sorting out the entire midfield, rather than obsessing with passing forwards, and handing over the offensive organization more to Nasri.

Lin Sen frowned on the sidelines. Lin Sen didn't know whether Fabregas's transformation was Wenger's arrangement. However, Fabregas, who was shining all over, was in excellent condition and could quickly adjust the situation at the opening stage. The reading ability of this game was obviously not comparable to that of Harvey Martinez, who had similar roles in Manchester City. People often like to call the football merchants. Football merchants are not something that cannot be improved after all, but they are more natural, and Lin Sen can't do anything about it.

However, Linson just frowned because Arsenal's condition was not much better. Although Xavi Martinez's reading ability was not as good as Fabregas, his steals and interceptions were enough to ensure that he did his job well. In addition to assisting Vidal to restrain Fabregas, Nasri, who was about the same age as him, basically did not have any advantage from him.

The left side is not ideal, and the middle side almost becomes a mud, while on Manchester City's right side, Robben and the opponent's Al Shavin formed a situation of mutual explosion. Almost all the shooting opportunities of the two teams since the opening of the game came from this route.

The game lasted nearly half an hour, with five to four shots, two to one shot range, and even corner free kicks and fouls. The two teams had very similar numbers. The scene looked very even, but the performance of the two head coaches on the sidelines was very different.

Lin Sen always stood on the sidelines. Apart from some subtle expression changes that were difficult for cameras to capture, he did not give advice to the field, nor did he secretly give advice to a player. He was basically quietly examining the situation on the field. Compared with Lin Sen, Wenger on one side was much more diligent. Although the professor's behavior was as always as reserved as before, he stood on the sidelines with his chin and seemed to be thinking about something, but at least he would occasionally call an Arsenal player passing by to say something, or walk back to the coach's seat to discuss something with his deputy Pat Rice.

The only thing that both of them are frowning.

It's just a difference between depth and shallow.

The mcfc bar is as lively as ever, with shouts and curses one after another.

Old Miller was still standing on the other side of the counter, his eyes drifting between the TV screen and the "customers". Today, there were many new customers in the bar, and there were fewer old customers. The extra new customers were Manchester City fans who did not come here often, and the missing old customers were Manchester City fans who were already sitting in the stands of the city stadium.

Anyway, they are all Manchester City fans.

If it were in the past few years, Old Miller would have put the bar off for one day and join in the stadium with those old guys. However, his health has been much worse in the past two years and he really can't stand the tossing. Unless there is a very major game, Old Miller plans to "play his life". What kind of game is considered a major game? For example, the final.

Any finals are OK.

--------------

As the first half was about to end, the most depressing person on the court was David Silva.

Since coming to England, this has been the most depressing half-court ball he has played. The opposite side of Sagner and Song, who always came out from the slant, both black and hard, made him annoyed, especially Song, who always made some small moves to interfere with him from time to time. Of course, he did not intend to make excuses for himself, and turned from the middle to the left. Head coach Lin Sen had communicated with him, and he himself thought it was okay, because the left was originally the position he was best at.

But now, he knows that his data for this half game is absolutely terrible.

Of course, he can also choose a more relaxed task, which is to hand over the offensive organization rights and pass the ball back to Harvey Martinez to deal with it. He only needs to do a good job of restraining, just like the opponent's Fabregas. But he doesn't want to do this because he knows that his head coach's expectations for him are not limited to that, and he is not comparable to Fabregas because the position is completely different.

The ball came to David Silva's feet again. He hesitated for a moment and decided to try again.

He drove the ball forward and faced the opponent's goal. Sagner stood in front of his left and did not rush to come up to intercept it. David Silva knew he was waiting for Song's support.

Sure enough, Song immediately followed.

Then, at the same rhythm as before, Song Hui stepped forward and pressed closely, while Sagner waited for an opportunity to intercept the ball.

Generally, at this time, Bridge will insert from the back, and Robinho will also retreat from the front to receive the ball, creating space for passing the ball. However, this routine did not work very well in the first half, because Robinho always followed him, and because the opponent's Van Persie always wandered in Bridge's defensive area, Bridge's assists always seemed to be timid and often missed the opportunity to insert.

This made David Silva always feel like fighting alone, but this time, Silva did not intend to wait for his teammates to answer, so he took the ball directly to Sagna.
