Chapter 159: New Bierhoff?

Klose's goal just before half-time gave Tottenham fans hope of a comeback, but Arsenal are still the leaders anyway. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as long as they can stabilize their position in the next time, grasp the advantage of this one goal, and concentrate on playing Tottenham's counterattack, then Arsenal has a great hope of lifting the championship trophy after the game!

Let's not forget that while Arsenal have always been known for their flashy attacking football, that doesn't mean Arsene Wenger's side won't play counter-attacking football. In fact, before the influence of the back five was completely gone, that is, before Campbell left, Arsenal, who had Thierry Henry, could also play quite well in terms of defensive counter-attacks. This can be seen from the previous Arsenal's use of this tactic and all the way to the Champions League final in the 05-06 season.

Of course, the good thing here is Arsenal's quality on the counter-attack. Defensively, the Gunners' defensive solidity has been declining year by year. Especially after Patrick Vieira left Alp, Ashley Cole was in the transfer gate, and defensive stalwart Campbell aged, although the Arsenal defense still looked solid, its consistency dropped several notches from the back five, and there were often various mistakes in the game that led to the goal conceded.

And now, because Vieira, Campbell and other main players are still at their peak, so even if Wenger is not good at tuning and does not pay much attention to defense, Arsenal's defense is quite reliable.

At the start of the second half, Arsene Wenger did let the Arsenal players shrink the defence, intending to lure the Spurs players to press the attack, so as to give full play to Henry's advantage in speed and gain more space to counter-attack.

However, to Arsene Wenger's surprise, after the Arsenal players took the initiative to retreat and Tottenham pressed the attack quite cooperatively, the Gunners did not play as fast counter-attacks as he expected, but also lost control of the midfield, so they had to face the embarrassing situation of being besieged by their opponents in the second half!

Seeing that the script did not go on as he expected, Wenger was naturally extremely puzzled in his heart. You must know that Henry has the speed that has been praised by the British media as the first in the Premier League, and there are teammates such as Pire and Bergkamp behind him to deliver cannonballs. It stands to reason that in such a situation, even if Tottenham takes precautions against this, it will be difficult to make a foolproof arrangement, and there will be some omissions in the defense, so as to give Henry room to take advantage of.

But the current situation is that under the entanglement of Mascherano, Henry, who is the counter-arrow, has no way to attack immediately after receiving the ball. By the time Henry finally got rid of Little Pony's defense, the Tottenham players had already returned to the defense, setting up many obstacles in front of the French, waiting for Henry to take the initiative to deliver food to the door.

Although he is young, although he has not done a good job on the defensive end due to his lack of game experience, Mascherano at this time has already shown his potential as a top defensive midfielder. Especially in the timely forward in defense, entanglement of the opponent's counterattack arrows, delaying the opponent's offensive speed, and buying time for the team to redeploy, Xiao Ma has a world-class level. Therefore, Arsenal will have Henry, an anti-counter-attacking weapon, but they have never been able to play the expected quick counterattack.

"I made a mistake, I knew that Mascherano had this ability, so I wouldn't have arranged for Thierry [Henry] to come forward alone!" Wenger thought with some chagrin at the realization of Mascherano's success in restricting Henry on the defensive end. He didn't expect that Henry, who was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables when singled out those Premier League defenders, would actually fold in the hands of a young man, Mascherano!

At the same time, the professor was also full of envy and jealousy for George—why was George so lucky, almost all of his young players were so powerful?

While Arsene Wenger was daydreaming about it, the Tottenham players were once again on the pitch under Alonso's command. Alonso split the ball in the middle, Basturk transitioned in the middle, and Ronaldo, who was inserted along the right side, didn't wait for Ashley Cole and Vieira to complete the encirclement, and directly picked up his right foot and sent a cross!

Although the side cross, by the striker in the penalty area ambush to grab the point of play, in the eyes of many people is indeed a bit simple and rough, and also lack technical content, but if there are really players who can practice the cross like Beckham, and at the same time there is a striker on the front line who is good at grabbing points, or the opponent's air defense ability is average, then this set of tactics can also have great lethality!

For example, now, Campbell, who was fighting with Klose for the landing point of the ball, was about to clear the ball with a header before the German, but suddenly there was a pain in his right knee, which caused him to slow down and suddenly fell to the bottom in this scramble!

"Damn! ...... at this time" Feeling a problem in his right knee, Campbell immediately realized that it was a recurrence of an old injury. However, the experienced man did not easily mess up because of this, but quickly adjusted his posture and continued to step forward to stick to Klose, and at the same time, he also secretly exerted force in his hand to interfere with the opponent's next move!

In any case, the German can't be allowed to head directly into the goal in the penalty area! For Klose's header kung fu, Campbell's heart can be said to be very jealous. After all, Klose had already proven the power of his header at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan two years ago. If Campbell doesn't take precautions against this, it would be the most unscientific thing to do.

Campbell's defense didn't work as well as it should, though. Or rather, Klose's excellent balance helped him perfectly counteract Campbell's small movements - Klose, who jumped high like an eagle soaring above the nine heavens, met the flying ball, and directly hit a powerful header from twelve yards in front of the goal!

Although Lehmann made a save at the first time, Klose's header attack was not only extremely fast, but also the angle was tricky enough. So, the German national team's number two goalkeeper could only watch the ball go into the net and watch his compatriot celebrate on the sidelines!

"Gooooooal!The goal is scored! The goal is scored by Miroslav Klose!The goal is scored! Beautiful header! Now the score is 2-2, and after more than 60 minutes of battle, the two teams are back on the same running line!" Seeing Klose help Tottenham equalize the score, Lineker in the live broadcast room was naturally extremely excited, "Many people are saying that Kuranyi is the number one center forward in the future of German football." But I still want to say that Klose should be the striker that the German tank should really rely on! Just like his predecessor Bierhoff, he has become the new ace of German football in trouble!"

"Charlie, you may be underestimating him. At the same time, hearing the old Charlie's evaluation of Klose, George shook his head and said seriously, "In my opinion, Bierhoff is not the ultimate height of Klose. The new Rummenigge, or the new Gerd Müller, is what Klose should achieve!"
