Krish: Odegao s technical development has encountered a bottleneck period, and Rice lacks support from the frontcourt

Arsenal lost to Bournemouth, and Odegao's performance was questioned. Former French star Krish is also worried about his old club's condition. Although Liverpool won the Barclays Cup this season ahead of schedule and the Gunners will focus on the Champions League, Arteta cannot be too sloppy in dealing with the league. The situation of the Premier League's "fight for five" is quite fierce. If the arsenal continues to encounter defeat, they may miss the UEFA Champions League qualification next season. Another thing Krish is worried about is - according to Arsenal's current state, how can he turn the tables and advance in the second leg? First, Krish analyzed the players' situation; Odegao's technical development encountered a bottleneck period. Although the Norwegian star is still the tactical core and leader of the Tamascus system, his performance in these two seasons has not been that stable.

Some fans will say that after Rice came to Emirates Stadium, Odgao's space must have been squeezed, and it is normal for his data to be unstable. However, Krish said that the technical characteristics of Rice and Odgao can coexist completely, and the two can make up for each other. The current situation of Norwegian star is that he has encountered a bottleneck period in his personal technological development and has nothing to do with the changes in his teammates. As we all know, Rice is a great contributor to Arsenal's final four in the Champions League. After all, this club eliminated Real Madrid. However, why did the Gunners lose to Paris Saint-Germain at home in the first leg of the semi-finals? Krish explained this - Rice lacked support from the frontcourt, which led to Rice's sometimes feeling a little bit unstoppable within the arsenal's offensive system.

Maybe you have only heard that frontcourt players need midfield support. Why, as a midfielder, Rice needs frontcourt support in turn? Krish pointed out that Rice is the "absolute core" style of playing. Although he does not need others to revolve around him completely, his teammates' style needs to obey him so that Rice can lead the whole team to improve their condition together. Krish's implication is that the styles of two wide players, Martinelli and Saka, are actually incompatible with Rice, but they are both players with strong personal abilities, so the data are good, covering up Rice's lack of frontcourt support. However, this apparent data boom cannot hide the potential rifts of the tactical system. When the opponent adopts a targeted defensive strategy, the problem is fully exposed - Martinelli's habit of cutting inward and strong attacks often compresses the space in the middle, while Saka's style of personal breakthroughs makes the offensive rhythm break.

It's like two skilled violinists in the symphony orchestra each performing colorful music, but they can never find harmony with conductor Rice. It is interesting that in the scene of the England national team, Rice's cooperation with Bellingham and Foden showed a completely different chemical reaction. The "dynamic triangle" position deliberately designed by the coaching staff of the Three Lions allows frontcourt players to create a passing corridor through frequent shifts, which is exactly the tactical wisdom that the current arsenal system lacks. Perhaps Arteta needs to re-examine the balance between "let the genius play freely" and "build tactical discipline". After all, all the great midfielders in football history, from Pirlo to Xavi, need to understand the frontcourt teammates' understanding of "creating pass selection through running" this stealth art.

So how can Odegao overcome this technical bottleneck period? Krish made a suggestion - what Odegao needs to break through is not only the technical bottleneck, but also the psychological shackles. In his analysis, Krish pointed out that when a player reaches a certain height, he is often limited by his established technical style - just like being locked in a transparent glass room, you can clearly see a wider sky, but you can't find a way to break through. After the ball, the author believes that the Norwegian midfielder's recent hesitation at the front of the penalty area just exposed his excessive persistence in "perfect pass", and this pursuit has constrained his creativity. The Arsenal coaching staff is adopting a special training plan of "breaking and then setting up" that can help Odegao break through the bottleneck period and usher in a new sublimation of personal technology and tactics.

Technical coaches deliberately create chaotic scenes in confrontation training, forcing Odegao to complete the processing of the ball in an imbalance; sports psychologists guide him to re-understand the value of "mistakes" - those passing choices criticized by fans may be the only way to break through the comfort zone. It is worth noting that Rice has recently begun to actively adjust his running rhythm and consciously delay the forward insertion in the stage of defensive and offensive. This subtle tactical sacrifice has left more room for Obedgao to observe. The lawn administrator at Emirates Stadium revealed that Odegao will always stop in the midfield for a long time after the recent extra training. This young man who once conquered the Premier League with his magician feet is experiencing the necessary tempering moment for top players. As Krish said: "Real transformation is never linear development, but requires falling into the fog first. " When the Norwegians learn to accept their imperfect selves, that iconic oblique straight pass may reappear in a more dangerous way.
