Starting with an old traffic trip during the Arsenal Premier League season, I couldn’t get full of my mind since Mikel Arteta’s last season.
Fans often look at the team and we think completely built in the image of the manager, players must decide, to make its decisions, skills, limits, too, that the manager wants exactly. And maybe they are sometimes, but then a director usually only made players to do something they are able to do.
Sometimes, we will really think about Arteta and we will see a PSV press conference, draw 1-1 and five months ago, it was one of those times.
“We had 11 open conditions against Manchester United, 11 large. We used one. The above groups use nine … We don’t use situations. We don’t use it.”
The team would not seem like that day he would like that day. These are not the words of a manager to counterattack their players.
Arsenal Inside the Fanbaset has been common complaints to be deeper against us, Liverpool or than one of our other enemies. But that is that? It wasn’t true in the old Trafford, he was also mentioning in the game Arteta. It may not be how the opposition carries out, how Arsenal makes, and artillas are guilty to return groups more often behind the ball, say, made by Liverpool?
In this game is back in Old Trafford, you will not open a wide range of Manchester United configuration, but Arsenal do not take advantage of many options that do not take advantage of the counter-attack. There is no way to find out if there are 11 artetics, but here are some frustrating examples.
Michael Merino’s defense, he was doing a great job as a striker, but there was only a holding of the arsenal to say what the situation demanded.
The problem was with others, when Merino raised the ball, players have quite close to attack.
These were not the only examples that Arsenal progresses, looking at the ball, chasing or channels to a sprint.
I wonder again: Do teams sit really deeper against Arsenal, or do Arsenal let them back behind the ball?
Score against sided and nonsense – Newcastle, Porto, Fulham – for a couple of years now and there is no doubt to make the most threatening in these encounters. Viktor Gyokers will almost no longer have a key and the latest visit to the team is Gabriel Martinelli’s form.
Martinelli’s 1-1 toss was entered shybar after the hour and only 30 seconds showed her intention, making a run, the ball was not an arsenal player in the middle of the field and was a potential attack.
A minute later, he went into space and walked in a pass.
And he continued to run behind them.
This effort to turn the opposition and the Arsenal of the ball game has been much more dangerous. After 33 minutes, Martinelli had the most touched in the opposition box of any player in the arsenal of that day. He received six progressive passes (Trossard played the opposite flank. Ethan Nwaneri (seven in 57 minutes). That’s only about the target Martin Odegaard. That’s 11 beginners, making the game more than 19 more in Brazil.
Martinelli can be frustrated because it has options and does not take advantage of them, but it is first better than not creating opportunities.
And that’s what Viktor Gyokers should be interesting. Arsenal is a very different type of players who have previously had previous players. If there is His deeper analysis hereBut the short version is: it will run behind, the ball away, over and over again.
You don’t see it often looking at the ball halfway. He wants to drive behind and wants to take advocates to broad wide spaces, often close to the touch line, before taking them one by one. Manchester United leads to another arteta after the game.
“It should be not only used on space, not only to use. You need to create a threat to stretch things. I also need players that can be fixed more than one opponent.”
Players go to space that allows you to exploit the space that is no longer, but it opens more space for group friends. When you drag a wide or deep defender, you drag your teammates and further. The gaps are open and the most organized groups will be weak for a moment.
After making mistakes in the season of last year, the old Trafford could be the perfect place, the types of games that have given the most headaches lately and how much they are ready to change. One thing is for sure: when space is waiting there, waiting for attacking, Mikel Arteta does not want his players to let the invitation down.
