"Guys, what do you think we should do in the second half to better deal with Arsenal?" Looking at the players who were panting in the dressing room, but not in high spirits because of the passive situation in the first half, George did not immediately convey the solution he came up with in the form of orders, but first asked the players for their opinions.

After watching the team's performance in the first half, George has clearly realized that Tottenham are not yet capable of wrestling with Arsenal head-on. Pressing the whole pitch can work wonders in a short period of time, but it's not a long-term solution – Arsenal's incisive attacking line is not a showpiece, and if a Spurs player makes a mistake in the pressing, they will have to be taught by Thierry Henry and Bergkamp.

Incidentally, George was able to lead Manchester United to defeat Arsenal on his debut in charge last season mainly because of the tacit understanding accumulated between Manchester United's players over a long period of time, as well as the system of running without the ball left by Ferguson. At that time, George made some fine-tuning of Manchester United's tactical system on the basis of these two, and also made full use of Arsenal's huge holes in the two positions of goalkeeper and central defender in the game, which led to the final victory.

Now, with the growth of Kolo Toure and the arrival of Lehmann, Arsenal have significantly strengthened their presence in both positions. However, George is no longer coaching Manchester United, which is strong and cooperative, but a Tottenham Hotspur team that has just completed rebuilding and needs to be further honed in many aspects. As a result, it is naturally impossible for George to deal with Arsenal in the same way he used last season when he was in charge of Manchester United.

Therefore, in George's view, Tottenham can only win against Arsenal in the second half if the players first have a unified mind. Otherwise, as long as one player has doubts about George's tactical arrangement, resulting in a lack of decisiveness in the implementation process, then the effect of these adjustments will be greatly reduced, and it may even hurt Tottenham themselves!

'Boss, these guys at Arsenal are so cunning, they don't go head-to-head with us at all, they know how to go around us with their passes and runs. If we were to talk about it, then it would be better to take advantage of the defensive system that Coach Allegri taught us in training, cut off their passing routes, compress their space and force them to face us head-on. Hearing George's question, Vidic and Mascherano were the first to complain and give their advice. In the first half, Arsenal's style of play, which relied on a wide range of interspersed runs and passing and cutting to complete the attack, made them tired a lot, and the resentment against Arsenal was naturally the heaviest.

In response to Mascherano and Vidic's statement, the other Tottenham players in the room all nodded approvingly. Obviously, after a first-half affair with Arsenal, they all have a general idea of the Gunners' quality and tactical play. I am more aware that the first thing to do for Tottenham to beat Arsenal in this game is to find a way to contain the Gunners' attack, and if this is not done, then everything is in vain!

"Boss, tell us what to do. I assure you that we will 100% obey and carry out any of your arrangements!" At this point, Ridley King, who realized what was wrong, stepped forward and made his attitude clear to George. Under his leadership, other players also echoed, saying that they would definitely act according to George's tactical arrangement!

Now, after working with George for almost four months, the Tottenham players who have personally experienced the team climbing to the second place in the table when no one is optimistic about it are already convinced of their own manager. So, when they realised they had to contain Arsenal's attack in order to think about winning, their first instinct was to turn to George for help.

"That being the case, I ask everyone to listen carefully and remember every word I say next. In the second half of the game, Phil and Gabriel, you two ......" Seeing the players say this, George didn't continue to go around in circles, and straightforwardly assigned everyone the task of the second half.

After talking about the tactical arrangements for the second half, and using the last few minutes of the break, George made a rare impromptu speech in front of the players: "Don't be under any illusions that we will get any assistance at Highbury Field, where we can only rely on ourselves and our team-mates. Remember, this won't be the first time we've encountered such a situation in Highbury, and it won't be the last. As long as we are facing Arsenal, as long as we are playing for Tottenham, we should remember that there are countless possibilities in this world, and it is impossible for Arsenal to beat Tottenham!"

"That's right!!" *N, George's sentence "Only Arsenal beat Tottenham is impossible", made all the Spurs players present excited. Especially after listening to George's tactical arrangements for the second half, they are already confident in achieving this task. And George's speech aroused the players' confidence to win to the greatest extent!

"Now, guys, get on the pitch and kick those guys in the ass!" and tell them that the days of Arsenal dominating London and Premier League football are gone!"

……

"Now, the players from both sides have walked out of the tunnel ......" Martin Taylor's face couldn't help but be happy to see the Tottenham players reappear on the pitch. As a supporter of Tottenham, Taylor's passivity in the first half made Taylor very depressed, and it was only a little relieved to see Drogba equalise in the last few minutes, "Hopefully Coach Nelson can come up with effective countermeasures to fend off Arsenal's attack at half-time." Otherwise, Tottenham's situation in the second half can still be said to be dangerous. ”

Therefore, when Taylor found out that George did not make any changes to Tottenham's lineup at halftime, he was actually a little disappointed in his heart, and even had a hint of "whether the opponent had given up this game in advance". It didn't take long for Taylor to dismiss the idea. Because he found that Tottenham seemed to have found a way to deal with Arsenal even if they didn't make personnel changes!

After the start of the second half, although Tottenham did not make any challenges in terms of staffing, they tactically gave up two wings very resolutely, handed them over to the Arsenal players to gallop freely, but they concentrated on guarding the middle, using the numerical advantage to compress the passing space of the Arsenal players, and controlling and cutting off the passing routes of the Arsenal players through a tight defensive system, so as to prevent the home team's advance and penetration in the middle!

Induced by the tactical idea of the Tottenham players to "defend the center and let go of the side", the Arsenal players, who encountered great obstacles in the advancement of the middle, began to unconsciously choose to attack from the two wings, constantly raising high crosses, and using this slightly simple and crude way to complete the attack.

While crosses from the flanks can sometimes work well, for this Arsenal side, crosses from the wings are undoubtedly the least suitable attack for the Gunners - neither Thierry Henry nor Bergkamp are the kind of strikers who are good at picking up points in the box or scurrying around in tight spaces.

Therefore, the vast majority of crosses sent by the likes of Pire and Ljungberg were directly confiscated by Cech or cleared by the likes of Vidic, and it was difficult to pose enough threat to the Tottenham goal. Henry, Bergkamp, Pire, Ljungberg...... These famous stars in European football have been unable to play with Tottenham's tight defence, their speed and technique, and the ability to play through and cut that has won the Premier League, and they have to fail again and again in front of Tottenham's defence.

Seeing that Tottenham actually found a way to deal with Arsenal in only one half-time period, Wenger's heart could be said to be extremely shocked at this time: "Nelson, this guy...... How is this possible?"

As the man who single-handedly built Arsenal into a champion, Wenger is naturally well aware of Arsenal's weaknesses. Among them, not being good at dealing with dense defense and scrambling for high balls are Arsenal's two fatal flaws in attack!

At the same time, after discovering that the tactics arranged by the manager were indeed effective in dealing with Arsenal's attack, Tottenham's players became more resolute and efficient, making it more and more difficult for Arsenal players to attack. And the result of Arsenal's long-term inability to attack on the field is that Tottenham's threat coefficient in counter-attacks has also increased over time!

In the 56th minute, Pire's cross was cleared by Ridley King's header, and Tottenham launched a quick counter-attack under Carrick's long pass. Drogba, who retreated to near the center circle, accelerated with his body to squeeze away from Campbell, who was defending him, and received this long pass from Carrick, a one-on-one shot!

In the face of Lehmann, who abandoned the goal, Drogba, who rushed into the penalty area with the ball, was not greedy, and after attracting the attention of the German goalkeeper, he distributed the ball to Ronaldo on the other side of the penalty area, who easily pushed the empty goal, 2 to 1!

If it weren't for the two tough guys Vieira and Campbell, who went around to fill in the fires and use their excellent positioning, anticipation and defensive skills to sabotage Tottenham's many counterattacks, I am afraid that at this time, Tottenham would have further extended their lead!
