The transfer window has not been closed yet.∮,

The rumors or soap operas of stars in Arsenal are still not over. Henry and Barcelona, ​​Qin Xiong and Real Madrid. Before Henry did not take the initiative to express his opinion, Qin Xiong's contract renewal with Arsenal was not officially finalized for a day, and the space left for the outside world to imagine will always exist.

Wenger must consider one factor: If Arsenal declares a failure to defend the title in the first half of the new season, will Qin Xiong and Henry choose to leave when the winter transfer window opens?

The importance of these two players to the team is self-evident.

With two days left before the opening of the Premier League, Wenger came to the training ground and had a pragmatic and serious conversation with the whole team.

Wenger did not show his attitude of maintaining the dignity of the team in front of the media. For example, he stubbornly said in front of the media that Arsenal is perfect, has the strongest lineup, etc., coaches who know a little about football will know how crappy Wenger's lies are.

Why is a mature team composed of at least 20 people?

Why do you need so many substitutes?

It is absolutely unrealistic to rely on 13 or 14 players to fight on multiple lines, and play more than 50 games per person without any injuries and loss of personnel!

Wenger talked openly about the difficulties faced by the team to the players. The competition in European football is getting stronger and stronger every season, and the requirements for strong teams are getting higher and higher. Arsenal was a little disconnected during this period and must admit this.

Even if Real Madrid, which has gathered so many big-name superstars, has lost to those two seasons? Not to lose to their opponents!

But he lost to himself!

They collapsed at the end of the season due to their physical exhaustion!

If it weren't for physical fitness, Real Madrid would never have been able to lose any grain in the past two years.

So even if Wenger is right, Arsenal has the strongest player he thinks is the best player in line with Arsenal’s football philosophy. But it’s not enough, the thickness of the bench is a flaw!

In addition, Vieira's departure has a significant impact, and Fabregas' new position needs to be adapted to the transition period. When playing a few pressure-free matches and playing the main players, the concepts of these two are completely different.

Wenger took into account all aspects of the situation and set a global strategy for Arsenal's competition this season.

If Chelsea had not been aggressive and Arsenal had hated the Champions League in a regrettable way last season, Wenger would probably not have made such a decision. He is really confident in the team's lineup, but he always has a clear gap from the highest throne, forcing him to sum up the lessons. In addition, the future of Henry and Qin Xiong is doubtful, and internal pressure also forces him to control the overall situation and lead Arsenal to use his record to calm people's hearts.

Before Wenger made such a decision, the team that came to mind was Chelsea.

But it was not Mourinho's Chelsea, but before that, Ranieri and Abram had an intersection in that season in 2003/04.

That season, Chelsea had just ushered in the Abu era, kicking off the gold and dollar football, and Chelsea was able to recruit soldiers and strengthen themselves in the transfer market. Koranieli was not blinded by the full and strong lineup. He pragmatically formulated a core tactic for the team: to prevent counter-revolution.

From then on, Chelsea was defending against the counter-attack, but unlike Chelsea in Mourinho's era, the latter further sublimated the defense against the counter-attack, and had epoch-making reforms in counter-attack methods, and the rise of the modern winger group!

Chelsea won the second place in the Premier League that season. If they analyze their records in detail, they will find that Chelsea's home and away record is very balanced, with a away record ranking second, only 2 points away from Arsenal, with an unbeaten record. They rank third in the league in home record, and lag behind Arsenal and Manchester United.

It can be said that Chelsea's away game is more successful than home games, after all, there is a home advantage at home.

The reason why Ranieri failed to compete for the championship was also clear: he lost at home.

Since England teams must attack at home and cater to the wishes of home fans, few teams will set up iron barrel formations to face their opponents at home, so Chelsea's defense and counter-revolution have a lot of room to play away and can plunder points without any disadvantage.

But when Chelsea was at home, they lacked the means of attacking, and weak opponents could put aside their stance and defend to the death due to away games. Chelsea was inferior to Arsenal in terms of attacking strength, thus losing to Arsenal by 9 points at home and away, ranking second in the league with a 11-point gap between home and away.

The problem facing Arsenal today is very simple. It requires pragmatic guarantee of league results. At the same time, so aggressively attacking away offense last season led to serious physical energy consumption. Such problems will also appear this season, without doubt.

Therefore, Wenger has formulated a tactic of defensive counterattacking away to face the league, and uses offensive and defensive balance to ensure home scores. It is not considered to be learning from Chelsea. However, Chelsea is a team with a good record in away scores in the past two seasons, and their success is worth paying attention to.

In terms of tactics, Arsenal is a back-retracement. In the early days of Wenger's entry into Arsenal, Arsenal revived with the stable defense of the five elders in the back defense to revive tactics.

Now, Arsenal needs to be more pragmatic. It is impossible for Fabregas to take the new position after Vieira left and fantasize that he can play more excitingly and aggressively than last season.

Wenger admitted that because young players first took the lead this season, the team needs to adjust and run-in.

When he informed everyone of his decision, no player would object, and in fact he was not qualified to object.

This is the situation of the team. Wenger's adjustment makes sense. Who has any opinions? What's the use of just opposing it? Can you give a better opinion?

As for whether Wenger's adjustment is right or wrong, there is no guarantee.

What kind of effect will be? You can only wait until the season is in progress or the end of the season before checking.

It’s all time to wait and see whether it’s a failure or to maintain its glory in the cracks.

In the specific tactical planning, Qin Xiong and Henry were the core of Wenger's top priority.

Whether playing at home or away from home, the team must play around these two players.

Tactics are certainly not dead, but ideas must be clear.

For example, when Henry has a chance on the front line, the midfield line with Qin Xiong as the core must create opportunities for Henry, which is a tactical requirement that has always existed in the past.

Now when Arsenal encounters iron barrel formations or intensive defenses more and more frequently, when it is difficult for Henry to find opportunities on the front line, other teammates, including Henry, must do their best to create opportunities for Qin Xiong!

The flexibility space for these requirements lies in the players' own on-the-spot performance.

Qin Xiong and Henry's team consciousness will also make Wenger's tactical requirements not a constant failure. When the two can create opportunities for their teammates, they will naturally do that without hesitation.
