Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The current situation in the league is very similar to that before the winter break. At that time, Inter Milan also suffered consecutive draws and was pulled five points away by Juventus. Now Juventus has also drawn three games in a row and is pulled by Inter Milan.  Five points opened - but at that time, more than half of the league had not been played, and Inter Milan would not be shaken too much by this. What about now?  There are only five rounds left in the league, and the five-point gap is like a huge chasm, making Juventus almost lose any hope of advancing!

    Now Inter Milan's points have reached 82 points, five points ahead of Juventus. Because AC Milan lost to Lecce in the previous round, it is nine points behind Inter Milan and four points behind Juventus. In this way  With the advantage, Dick can really relax in the league and then concentrate on preparing for the upcoming Champions League game.

    For AC Milan, although they still have hope of winning the championship, it is obvious that chasing nine points in five rounds is already quite difficult. Even if they will start the Milan Derby with Inter Milan next, even if they win  They have beaten their opponents, and there is still a six-point gap - and they still have the Champions League semi-finals to play after the Milan derby. Where to focus at this time really gives AC Milan a headache

    After a week of rest, Dick made a bold move - he sent out almost all substitutes in the Milan Derby. This approach also caused some controversy, after all, this is a Derby!  Sending all the substitutes in the derby would definitely have caused dissatisfaction among the fans if Dick's prestige had not reached a certain level now.

    Dick doesn't care about this. He is a person who only looks at results. After playing against AC Milan, the next four league opponents are Reggina, Empoli, Siena and Cagliari.  A team ranked in the bottom half, but with Treviso and Lecce at the bottom and not in danger of being relegated. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for these four opponents to stop Inter Milan from winning.  Even if they lose this game, as long as they score enough points in the next four league games, the league championship will still belong to Inter Milan - and in the Champions League, if they can save some physical energy, it will bring a huge advantage.  !

    Ancelotti was not as free and easy as him. Although he might not be able to win the league championship if he defeated Inter Milan, he still sent some of his main players to play. In the end, under the full defense of Inter Milan, AC Milan defeated them 2-1.  Inter Milan gave Inter Milan their second defeat in the league this season

    The fans of Inter Milan were a little regretful about this defeat, but when the other game ended, they started laughing - Juventus still seemed to have not recovered from the previous blow. They were away in this round.  After being tied by Cagliari, Juventus, which has recently drawn four consecutive draws, has completely lost the style of its previous consecutive wins. Although Inter Milan lost the derby this time, they are still four points ahead of Juventus!

    And AC Milan also narrowed the gap between them and Juventus to two points!

    A part of the media began to clamor that "the league competition is once again in suspense", but most of the media have already focused on the Champions League semi-finals in midweek - the Milan duo attack at the same time, Inter Milan challenges Arsenal away,  AC Milan vs. Barcelona at home¡­

    After playing this derby, Dick took the players to London. He did not pay attention to the situation in the other game. His attention now must be on Arsenal.

    This season Wenger historically led Arsenal to the semi-finals. After letting Vieira go, Fabregas began to show his outstanding abilities. He and Henry are the biggest guarantee for Arsenal to enter the semi-finals. Then  Arsenal created an undefeated season, and most of the main players are still there. Although Bergkamp is no longer the main player because he is getting older, Wenger's five-midfield tactic this season has made them  Becoming more powerful on both offense and defense.

    Starting from the knockout rounds, Wenger seems to have begun to change his style In other words, starting from the group stage, they have changed like this. Although they still play offensive football in the league, in the group stage, they have five  Among the results of a win and a draw, they only scored ten goals and conceded only two goals. Like Barcelona, ??they were the team that conceded the fewest goals in the group stage.  After the knockout rounds started, they beat Ajax 1-0 away from home and 0-0 at home. Against Juventus, they beat Juventus 2-0 at home and 0-0 away. They didn't concede a single goal in the knockout rounds!  Not only can it be seen from the data that they have begun to strengthen their defense, but it can also be seen from these two knockout rounds that they strived to score goals while strengthening their defense in the first round. After taking the lead, they began to use defense in the second round.  and controlling the ball to kill time.  This is how Juventus lost to them. After winning 2-0 at home, they can definitely strengthen their offense in the away game and score one goal to make Juventus' promotion hope.A little less, but they adopted a defensive posture. Juventus did not have any chance to score throughout the game. This performance is already quite strong defensively. You must know that although Juventus is not a strong attack  A very capable team, but with a ball-handling player like Ibrahimovic, a point-grabbing forward like Trezeguet, Del Piero's breakthroughs and set pieces, and Nedv¨§d's long-range shots, such an offense  The lineup failed to score even a single goal in both rounds, which is enough to prove how good Arsenal's defensive capabilities are now.

    "We need to do better on offense in the away game." Dick doesn't want to be conservative in the away game. Since the opponent's defense is so good, he must not be led by the opponent. Wenger's tactical intention is basically Dick's.  He already knew it - not that he saw it at this time, but in this season in history, Arsenal's astonishing run into the Champions League final relied on the defense and the flash of inspiration of Henry and others in the frontcourt.  He scored four goals in six knockout games and reached the final without conceding a single goal. The total score was 1-0 twice and 2-0 once. Such high efficiency is very rare in the entire history of the Champions League.  ¡ª¡ªEven Inter Milan, which is known for its defensive counterattacks to win championships, scored a total of eight goals and conceded three goals in six knockout games during the season led by Mourinho. It was completely unlike Arsenal this time.  It was so exaggerated to reach the finals.

    In this case, it is not very advantageous to tangle with the opponent. Henry is in good condition this season. Maybe he will have a sudden inspiration and score a goal that changes the situation. Rather than taking such a risk, it is better to  It's better to bring the rhythm of the entire game under your control!

    What kind of scope of control?  Of course, it is offense. Inter Milan is the most offensive team in Europe this season. Although Arsenal defends well, it is not a full-time defensive team. When it launches a strong attack in the away game, no matter whether it is a victory or a loss, as long as it can win in the  If you score enough goals away from home, it's worth it.

    "Ashley Cole can't play because of injury, which is a good thing for us. According to Wenger's habits, this position is unlikely to be Clichy. After all, his defense is not very good. The midfielder Fo  Ramini may become their main left back. If he plays, he will be a purely defensive player. We want to attack on this side, but their two central defenders Toure and Senderos will not be the focus.  He is a central defender with good strength and speed. If he breaks through forcefully, the chance will not be too great. On offense, we must be patient to look for opportunities and use constant offense to create opportunities, especially the front and flank attacks. Their defense line has nothing obvious.  Weaknesses, but a defense without weaknesses does not mean that we will not concede goals. As long as we can continue to put pressure on Arsenal¡¯s defense, we will definitely score goals!¡±

    "The best thing about Arsenal is their midfield. The three midfielders who can play in the middle and wide are the source of their offense. Fabregas is responsible for organization and Gilberto Silva is responsible for interception. The division of labor is clear. In fact,  , with their style of play this season, the most threatening things in the game are their counterattacks and set pieces. There are many tall men in their formation who are very capable of heading the ball. Coupled with Henry's footwork, set pieces  They pose a great threat, and their counterattacks rely more on wonderful passes from the midfield and backcourt and Henry's personal ability. In addition, their positional warfare offensive capabilities are not particularly outstanding because they lack powerful shooters.  Control the midfield, attack boldly when there is an opportunity, and don¡¯t give Arsenal too many opportunities to counterattack. This is the key point of our tactics in this game!¡±

    After arriving in London, Dick quickly held a tactical meeting. He had strong confidence in this arrangement. He knew what tactics Arsenal used this season and what their characteristics were this season¡ª  ¡ªThis is also where he is most confident in coaching. For some important opponents, he can have a thorough understanding of their status this season, what their tactical characteristics are, and which of their players perform better¡ª¡ª  Because these are things that have been analyzed countless times in later generations!

    Neither the assistant coach nor the players have any objections to Dick's arrangements. They are used to Dick taking over everything in terms of tactical arrangements. Anyway, if they follow his arrangements, they can always achieve good results.

    Arsenal also started their own preparations. Arsenal's performance in the league this season was average. Chelsea showed crazy momentum from the beginning. After being eliminated from the Champions League, they focused all their attention on the league. Early on  After establishing a leading advantage, Wenger continued to amplify this advantage, so Wenger began to focus on the Champions League very early. He has been coaching Arsenal for almost ten years, and Wenger is not lacking.  The league champion, but there has been no breakthrough in the European competition, which also makes Wenger extremely eager to make some breakthroughs in the Champions League this season.

     Benitez led his team to win the Champions League last season, which gave Wenger enough reminder. Benitez's Liverpool performed extremely poorly in the league, and only finished fifth in the Champions League.  Winning the championship, his grinding style of play also inspired Wenger. This is how Arsenal has now reached the semi-finals and created the best results in the Wenger era!

    Although Inter Milan is a strong team, there is no weak team that can enter the semi-finals. Since Arsenal can easily defeat Juventus at home, they also have enough confidence in Inter Milan.

    On April 19, the first match of the Champions League semi-finals was played at home. After wasting several opportunities, AC Milan was wasted by Giuly and scored the winning goal through a counterattack. In the end, they lost to Barcelona 0-1 at home.  The situation is very bad for AC Milan.

    And next, it¡¯s Inter Milan¡¯s away game against Arsenal!
