Chapter 158: The Strongest Gunslinger (Part II)

"It's been more than half an hour since the start of the game, the score is still 2-0 and Arsenal are ahead. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Watching the game time pass minute by minute, Arsenal still holds a two-goal lead, and although Tottenham's offensive is strong, it has always been difficult to break through the gate guarded by Lehmann, Alan Hansen can't help but be overjoyed, and at the same time his mouth is mercilessly counting George and Tottenham, "Although the managers of both sides set the tone for their teams in this game, it is clear that Arsenal is better at attacking than Tottenham and playing better." ”

'I think George Nelson made a very serious mistake today and that was that he shouldn't have given up his defensive counter-attacking game against Arsenal. Because in this way, the area guarded by Alonso and Patrice Evra will be more directly impacted by Arsenal players, and Tottenham's defensive weaknesses will also be exposed. ”

"Alain (Hansen), I don't agree with you. As a qualified football commentator, Lineker naturally can't let his partner sing a one-man show, "If Tottenham Hotspur mainly plays defensive counter-attacks in this game, then they who are already suffering from physical problems may not have the extra energy to devote to counterattacks, and the final result may be to concede one or two fewer goals than now." It's absolutely impossible to keep a threat to Arsenal's goal as it is now......"

"You know, Tottenham Hotspur is now on the field, and only Ronaldo has the ability to move forward with the ball. Klose and Villa, while good up front and with a decent passing vision, are nowhere near enough to keep their counter-attacking pace past defenders. Once the ball is handed to them, then the success rate of Tottenham's counter-attack is difficult to guarantee...... Therefore, taking the initiative is indeed the most correct choice made by George!"

"If Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery had played the whole game, how could we be so passive now!" George thought to himself after seeing Klose fall into another Arsenal offside trap and squander a good chance to score. Although George gave up the defensive counter-attacking tactics that worked best against Arsenal out of physical concerns and chose to play against the Gunners in this game, after seeing that the players always made mistakes due to lack of tacit cooperation, resulting in Tottenham repeatedly being blocked in attack, this situation still made George feel quite upset.

Although he has long estimated the current situation of falling behind by two goals, when this reality really happens in front of him, George is still quite uncomfortable in his heart. After all, if Tottenham can play with the strongest lineup and have a strong winger on the left who can echo Ronaldo, then even if Alonso and Evra perform badly in defence, George is fully sure to press the Arsenal in front of him to the ground and rub it hard!

However, Tottenham were unlucky this time, with scheduled main left winger Arjen Robben unable to play due to injury, and another rotation player, Franck Franck Ribery, was also limited in playing time, resulting in George having to make a cameo for Villa as a left winger in this crucial battle. And with Villa's current ability, it is far from reaching the height of Messi's wingman in Barcelona in his previous life, and this game is more about creating scoring opportunities through passing and cutting cooperation with teammates rather than individual breakthroughs. In addition, Patrice Evra did not dare to go too deep in the attack because of Ljungberg, which led to the fact that Tottenham are currently only on Cristiano Ronaldo's side who can create a threat through breakthroughs.

"So, Gary (Lineker). Do you still think that Tottenham have a chance of winning the final victory?" Alain Hansen retorted disdainfully after listening to Lineker's analysis, "Don't forget, Arsenal had the second best defense in the Premier League last season, and Tottenham couldn't come up with their strongest attacking combination, how could they have a chance to complete the comeback?"

"That's right. While Tottenham's Euros have resulted in many key players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Arjen Robben, not at their best or even unavailable today, Arsenal are facing the same problem. Moreover, as the game deepened, the Gunners' words in this regard did not shake Lineker in the slightest, but made the latter more confident in Tottenham's comeback victory, "You know, most of the players on Tottenham's side who participated in this summer's European Championship are young people in their 25s, while Arsenal's international players in the European Championship are mostly in their thirties." Therefore, in terms of the speed of physical recovery, Tottenham's side clearly has a greater potential advantage. In other words, as long as Arsenal can't defeat Tottenham before their physical strength reaches a critical point, then Tottenham have a chance to complete a comeback in the next time!"

It has to be said that Lineker's judgment was very accurate. Although there was no change in the score on the field, as time went by and the game deepened, as well as Tottenham's attacking intensity gradually increased, the Arsenal players still chose to slow down the attack for the time being. On the one hand, because they have consumed too much energy in the previous offensive battles, they need to relax a little at this time to relieve their fatigue, on the other hand, Klose and Alonso are gradually finding a sense of cooperation, and the threat is increasing, Wenger feels that it is necessary to take some precautions, so as not to be careless and be attacked by Tottenham.

However, Arsenal's adjustment did not have the desired effect. Towards the end of the first half, Mascherano, who had made up the half-time pot for Alonso and Patrice Evra, managed to see Vieira's intentions and cut off the latter's pass to Ljungberg with a lunge. Immediately afterwards, Alonso did not hesitate after getting a pass from Mascherano and sent a long pass over the top!

"Not good!" Seeing the direction of Alonso's pass, Alan Hansen in the live broadcast room and Wenger on the sidelines were shocked. Because they clearly saw that the ball from Alonso was flying precisely towards Cristiano Ronaldo, who was inserted at high speed along the right side!

The most important thing is that because Arsenal was still in the situation of pressing the attack, Ashley Cole, who was responsible for defending on the left side, and Vieira, who was responsible for filling him, were still stuck in Tottenham's half at this time, while Campbell and Gilberto were on the other side of the field, and there was no time to intercept Ronaldo, who was more than ten meters away from them!

Arsenal's sluggishness in switching between attack and defense was exposed by Alonso's long pass!

Cristiano Ronaldo cleverly opted for a pass after cutting into the box and attracting the attention of Kolo Toure and Lehmann, and Klose, who followed up in the middle, pushed the empty net and pulled one back for Tottenham!" Seeing that Tottenham finally scored a goal, Lineker finally cheered up and happily met Alan Hansen's incredible eyes to explain the game, "Although Arsenal is still in the upper hand, a one-goal lead is not safe. If Arsenal can't continue to expand the score in the coming time, then Tottenham, who have regained their sense of goal, may have hope of reversing the game!"
