Evans suggests Arteta shrinks the formation, Grelish almost chooses the gunner

Aston Villa's team reporter Evans talked about Arsenal's state in the Champions League. He also admitted that Arteta placed his goal in the knockout stage, and the club's lineup is not thick enough to deal with multi-line combat. Evans suggested that Arteta shrink its formation. Although the Gunners' big victory over Eindhoven proves the advantages of the Tasman system, Evans believes that the tactic of opening and closing is risky for the arsenal, and the players consume too much, Merino and others may be injured. If Arteta can shrink its formation, Arsenal can win, but they won't win that much. In Evans's view, it is more important for the Gunners to score points, and the smoothness of the game will not affect the team's record.

Manchester City has a bad record this season, which is also the first time Guardiola has missed the Champions League knockout stage since becoming a coach. Even when the Blue Moon Legion's lineup was so uneven, Grelish didn't get much chance. As a team reporter for Grelish's old club, Evans believes that if Grelish chose the arsenal, his personal development might have been different - Grelish almost chose the Gunners. When Grelish was about to leave Aston Villa, Arsenal was willing to introduce Grelish. He was a popular midfielder in English football, and the arsenal was also in a healthy period of development.

However, in terms of financial strength, the Gunners are not as rich as Manchester City, so Grelish almost chose Arsenal, but the final decision to join the Blue Moon was also due to salary considerations. Evans said that if Grilish chose the Gunners at the beginning, at least he would not have to face the cumbersome competition. If he could be the core of the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners would not have introduced Rice from now on. At Manchester City, Grilish did gain a rich contract and a broader stage, but his career trajectory was also accompanied by high-intensity competition and constant challenges. In contrast, Arsenal may provide him with a more gentle growth environment, giving him more opportunities to become the team's indisputable midfield commander.

However, there is no if in life. Grilish's experience in the Blue Moon allowed him to grow rapidly into an indispensable member of the Premier League, and his creativity and breakthrough ability have repeatedly opened the door to victory for the team. Although Evans's idea sounds quite tempting - a person with Grilish as The Gunners midfielder built by the core is seamlessly connected and leads the team to a revival - but the reality is that the football world is never short of assumptions and regrets. For Arteta, his players are no longer "injured". If he can shrink the formation, it can also reduce the trouble of injuries. Even though the arsenal has basically lost the hope of competing for the Premier League championship this season, they still have to maintain the runner-up position, which is why Evans makes such a suggestion.

Arteta is not indifferent to Evans' suggestions. He knows that maintaining the integrity of the lineup in a intensive schedule is crucial to the team's long-term planning. In the quiet locker room in the night, he may have begun to conceive how to maintain the offensive power while enhancing the team's defensive resilience. After all, in the football world, victory is certainly gratifying, but a steady battle The art layout and the health of the players are the cornerstones of continuous success. After the ball, I believe that Arteta may try to integrate more reorganizations of contraction formations into training, so that players can adapt to this more compact defensive system while changing offenses quickly.

Evans believes that through exquisite tactical adjustments, Arsenal is fully capable of reducing physical energy consumption while continuing to show efficient offensive firepower, making the opponent elusive. And fans, although they are used to the Gunners' appreciation of offensive football, they will also understand and support Arteta's decisions in the face of reality. After all, in the pursuit of honor, flexibility and timely adjustment of strategies are equally important. Arsenal's goal is not only to win a certain game, but also to maintain competitiveness in the long season and accumulate strength for the glory of the coming year. . After all, the Gunners belong to the "Barcelona Premier League" and were once known for their beautiful football.

Therefore, in the following training, Arteta began to focus on the offensive and defensive conversion under the contraction formation. He used video analysis software to carefully study opponents' game videos, find their vulnerabilities in defense, and design offensive routines in a targeted manner. At the same time, he also strengthened the players' physical training to ensure that they can maintain sufficient physical reserves in a compact schedule. In the game, Arsenal began to show a new look. They no longer blindly pursue offensive football, but while maintaining a certain ball possession rate, they pay more attention to the stability of defense. When the opponent presses, the Gunners can quickly form an effective defensive system to reduce unnecessary concedings. On the offensive end, they take advantage of the opportunity of rapid conversion to create threats to their opponents.
