[LDC] Demi-Finale retour PSG - Arsenal

Il y a des bons profils, il reste juste à voir comment ils vont se gérer. On attend effectivement des successeurs de ballon d'or régulier, l'exigence.

Merci Henni en dépit de

Un pétard mouillé comme beaucoup de sportifs français projetés par les médias au devant de la scène alors qu'ils ont rien prouvé

Y'a un taré sur le forum football qui crache sur Giroud depuis 10 ans et il continue encore aujourd'hui malgres qu'il soit en MLS

Je te laisse deviner de quel origine il est

Après de 2012 à 2016, c'était quand même compliqué Giroud et ses 0 buts en 2018 ont quand même fait tache mais le mec n'était jamais destiné à dépasser la L2, il est juste introllable je trouve, mais pour ça faut prendre du recul et avoir un QI à 3 chiffres

Vini aussi, il y a eu un marketing, Salah également mais lui, il a fait sa saison top avant de se faire éteindre par le PSG de Luis.

Je prescris trois semaines d'apnée pour les marseillaises

Giroud n'est pas un buteur



Il est exceptionnel dans le jeu sans ballon

Et ce genre de débile doit sucer les merdes comme ben harfa alors qu'il n'a pas eu 5% de la carrière de Giroud

Partagé entre voir Italia gagner ou voir Marseille brisé pour toujours, car aucun argument contre un PSG qui a déjà plus de trophées, classico, record Ligue 1 qu'eux, LDC, le foot sera mort dans la rivalité, Marseille ne pourra rien dire pour toujours, à moins de sortir un miracle en gagnant deux LDC et encore.

Les marseillais ont qu'à bien jouer. Sélection naturelle

Vous voyez un peu la gueule de Bappé durant des débats OM PSG, chaque fois que des supporters vont le croiser, ils vont avoir l'image du PSG décisif sans lui, c'est une dinguerie.

Oui, c'est effectivement naturel et cela doit rester naturel.

Le football, il a évolué.

J'ai vu ça avant le match et là, réaction Henni.

Mohamed Henni en colère après la qualification de PSG en finale de la ligue des champions( fou)
7 mai 2025

Il pompait Benzema a fond

Mais pour te dire il parle plus de Benzema du tout, il parle que de Giroud

Il est totalement broken

Comme les algeriens débiles

Il a aucun buzz en plus, il est obligé d'utiliser des multi-comptes

What is a False Nine?

The false 9 is a deep lying striker who drifts away from the center backs into a danger area between the lines, which cause problems to the defense who wonder whether they need to track the player of stay in place. While this term was popularized by Pep Guardiola who utilized Lionel Messi as a false 9 for Barcelona, and by Cesc Fabregas playing in the euro 2012 as a false 9, the idea was popularized by the so called Danube school in the 1930s and was also used by the Hungrarians of the 1950s. Traditional the number 9 has always been football's center forward. The numeros came from a match in 1928, when Sheffield Wednesday played against Arsenal, and Chelsea played against Swansea Town. The 9 took up the central, most advanced position in 2 3 5 formation. Althought the numerization of the defense and midfield could vary depending of the continent, the 9 being the center forward is widely spread across the globe. The 9 plays right in front of the defense or as a pivot, looking to play with the midfielders or another striker more deep. Their role is to score, to get on the end of crosses, to run for through balls. The traditional 9 is a focal point, leading the line and playing against the center backs, trying to find space in behind them to score. Matthias Sindelar, Austrian striker who palyed for Austrian's national side int eh 1930s is probably the first well known false 9 althought Jonathan Wilson noted that a striker playing deeper was not that uncommon. In fact, it was common across central Europe and it was a feature in Argentina's club River Plate in the same area. Sindelar's frame wasn't suited to true 9 so he played deeper to find space and make the wingers and other wide players play. Nandor Hidegkuti did the same for Hungrary national team. These 2 terrorized the English teams who were used to physical number 9, strong, traditional but relatively immobiles.
Pep Guardiola played Lionel Messi as false 9 because of his positional play theory which can be summarized by the superiority created between the lines of pressure through rehearsed movements and rapid passing. Messi was instructed to drop deeper while the wingers either came infield, or stayed wide depending on where the ball was. It created either a triangle, either a diamond or available passes for the midfielders in possession. At least one of the passing options was between the lines of the opposition's midfield and defense. Luca Spalletti's AS Roma side in the 2006 / 2007 season used Francesco Totti as a sort of false 9 before Messi, but he was more of an attacking creative midfielder with some striking duties rather than a striker who dropped off. Neverless, AS Roma's fluid attacking was probably a prompt for tacticians who wanted to exploit the potential of overloads between the lines. With the right personnel, false 9 can be devastative. While most modern teams swapped from man marking to zonal marking, the movement of a good false 9 will create some problems for any back line. Either a center back pushes up on the false 9, isolating his center back partner, dragging in a fullback to cover, either he lets the false 9 dropping deep and it allows the false 9 space and time to either pass or shoot. A midfielder can also drop to mark the false 9, but it creates another overload higher up the pitch. Players finding space and receiving the ball between the lines will cause problems for the opposition. But the greater need for compactness, the rise of more pressing systems and return of back 3 or 5 formations meant that we saw less false 9s in recent seasons.




With Dembélé drifting into pockets of space across the pitch and PSG constantly shifting their shape to create numerical advantages, Arsenal was pinned at the back and looked out of rythm for the first 25 minutes. But Arteta made a key adjustment in their build up and how they press. While it was a 4 3 3 on paper, PSG used a back 3 during build up in diamond structure with Vitinha in the center at the top. Hakimi was used as a wingback, also sometimes moving into central positions. Vitinha would also rotate on the left out wid freeing the flank for Mendes to push forward, with Fabian Ruiz as the holding midfielder. The rotations freed space in the center for either Ruiz, Neves, Hakimi or Dembélé. Dembélé was often playing in line with the midfielders and isolating Arsenal's center backs, meaning PSG could outnumber Arsenal's midfield and find space to attack forward. Their opening goal came at the end of a 26 passes sequence where the rotations can be seen. Eventually as Dembélé get the space to attack the backline PSG is able to pin Arsenal's defenders into place with Kvara, Fabian Ruiz on the left flank and Doué, Neves and even Hakimi on the right flank. As Rice double teams on Kvara with Timber, it frees up space in the edge of the box for Dembélé who finishes the move brillantly. When it came to pressing, PSG adopted a man oriented system and if Arsenal could bypass this ilne, there were a lot of space for them to move into. But more often than not, PSG was able to regain possession high up the pitch. After 25 minutes, Arsenal gradually stopped playing out from the back and instead went long more frequently into their front 4. It found more success althoguh no leading to clear goalscoring chances. It allowed at least to slow the game down, get some free kicks and slowly find their groove into the game as PSG would be stretched with their agressive press. Then these long balls meant that PSG were building out from the back more often.
So Arsenal started to be more agressive in the press. Slowly they switched into a more man oriented system, giving PSG's backline less time to build. They started following Dembélé's movements more closely and overall they were more agressive high up the pitch.So PSG were forced to go long more often. It means that Rice and Merino were able to move the game onto a more physical level. They were able to bring a bit more control into the game. But Arsenal's biggest chance in first half came from Martinelli after they exploited PSG's pressing system weakness. Given Enrique's instructions to PSG players to go man to man when defending, it meant each player had a direct opponent they needed to latch onto. In this game it meant that Hakimi was responsible for picking up Arsenal's left back, Lewis Skelly who would often invert to a more central position. When Skelly was able to turn, it exposed a big gape on Hakimi's flank for Arsenal to move into with a 3 v 2 overload against 2 defenders. Martinelli is then denied by Donnarumma. In second half, the same pattern was seen with Declan Rice breaking forward and finding a free player on Hakimi's flank, the player being Trossard. But Donnarumma made a big save. Arsenal were more agressive in the press in second half and looked to play a lot more direct than they did in the first half. Raya was used in a much more advanced position when building from open play to help Arsenal to bypass PSG's press. Whilst PSG in possession attempted to slow down the tempo of the game as much as possible and run down the clock. Second half had more fouls and counterattacking situations for both teams, making it more chaotic. While Arsenal finished the game with a higher xG then PSG, Paris still created dangerous opportunities with Barcola and Ramos, both players who were subbed on during the second half. The midfield battle was overall entertaining to watch.
