PS: Click here to collect and recommend, thank you......

"Hey, nobility, see, we're ahead now!" After seeing the referee declare Pire's goal valid, Vieira immediately rushed to the front of the Tottenham bench, showing off triumphantly in front of George, like a gorilla dancing with his hands, "Where is the price you are talking about, why didn't I see anything?"

For a while, the stadium was filled with the cheers of Arsenal fans. All Arsenal supporters www.biquge.info applauded Pire's goal and Vieira's comeback, and they all spoke out sarcastically about George, who humiliated Arsene Wenger and Arsenal before the game!

Hearing the sounds coming from all around the stadium and looking at the smug smiles on the faces of the Arsenal players, the expressions of the Tottenham players were naturally very unsightly. After all, no matter what, George is their manager, and it is their side that concedes the goal, and Vieira's approach is undoubtedly provoking the entire Tottenham team!

"Damn it!" Mascherano said to his Arsenal players as he looked at the Arsenal players in front of his own manager, cursing in his heart for his previous performance. In the opinion of the young Argentinian, if he had been a little more composure in his previous defence, not being drawn by Ljungberg's breakthrough, and had stayed on the edge of the box, Pire would not have been able to get his feet on the back of the net so easily. Because that way, he can interfere with Pire's shooting action for the most time!

"Alright, Javier (Mascherano), don't beat yourself up. Seeing Mascherano's angry expression full of self-reproach, Speed stepped forward, patted the other man on the shoulder, and comforted, "Lack of game experience and being easily deceived is the price that every professional player pays when they are young." What you need to do now is learn from these lessons and avoid making similar mistakes again. ”

"Well, Gary, I see. "To be able to grow into a top midfielder in his previous life, Mascherano is not only due to his outstanding football talent among his peers, but also his willpower and ambition are also first-class, so naturally he will not be depressed because of this setback," I just feel very unwilling. We could have stopped Arsenal's attack, but it was my mistake that humiliated the team and the leader. ”

"It's okay to recognize mistakes. Speed raised his hand, smiled and rubbed Mascherano's head, then stopped Cristiano Ronaldo and Ridley King, who were about to go over to help George out, "Cristiano! Ledley, if you still want to win this game, then go back to me honestly now, don't go over and join in the fun! Believe me, if you go over now, it will be a big problem!"

At the same time, seeing Pire open the scoring for Arsenal with a volley from outside the penalty area, and after the goal, Vieira ran in front of him to show off, George just raised his eyebrows, did not give any response to Vieira's provocation this time, and grabbed Anderton, who was about to rush up to compete with Vieira, and pressed the latter back to the bench. Because he knew that in this situation, no matter how he reacted, it would not help the situation at hand. In this case, it is better to ignore the opponent's provocation and use this time to think about the next game countermeasures.

Moreover, George also knew in his heart that the home team's goal seemed to be the result of a clever tactical coordination between the Arsenal players. But in fact, this is mainly due to referee Bol's excessively strict penalty scale - if Bol hadn't used a series of whistles from the beginning of the game to make Tottenham players restrain themselves when defending, and did not dare to make defensive moves easily, Pire would not have had so much space to shoot!

However, the preferential treatment given to Arsenal has almost ended there. George secretly speculated in his mind about Pol's thoughts. After all, previous enforcement records show that the referee is a guy who likes to find a balance. Since Tottenham are now suffering in the penalty scale, then Bol will definitely compensate Tottenham accordingly in the game.

"This should be about the same, if we continue like this, this game will not be watchable...... George expected it well, and after seeing the Arsenal players take advantage of their advantage in the penalty scale to score early on, Bol couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Originally, he just wanted to teach George a small lesson, but he didn't expect that the change in the penalty scale would have such a big impact on Tottenham's youth army, and Arsenal broke the goal at the beginning of the game.

Now, now that Arsenal have taken advantage of the harsh penalty scale to get real benefits, there is no need for them to continue to give preferential treatment to the home team. Making this Premier League 12th round of the focus of the game more fluid and beautiful is the main task of Bol as the referee, rather than turning the north London derby into a one-sided slaughter when it is out of balance.

Of course, even without Bol's care on the penalty scale, after the game restarted, Arsenal's every attack was still enough to make the Tottenham players scramble. Had it not been for the world-class goalkeeper who played at the level of a world-class goalkeeper in this game, with several goal-saving saves, Arsenal might have even hoped to extend their lead further in the first 20 minutes!

The main reason why Tottenham Hotspur are so passive is that most of the opponents they have encountered before this time have been traditional English teams, and they have not had much contact with European technical teams such as Arsenal. Therefore, when facing Arsenal's style of play, which is very different from most Premier League teams, even if George has made a specific arrangement for it before the game, the inexperienced Tottenham players will inevitably be a little blind in the early stages of the game.

In a traditional English 4-4-2 formation, the main role of the wing-backs is to sit on the flanks of midfield, creating scoring opportunities for the two forwards in attack with a sharp Ryan Giggs-style breakthrough or a Beckham-style precise cross, and when defending, they need to assist their own full-backs to defend against attacks on both wings. Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, abandoned this traditional English football mentality and carried out tactical reforms in line with the trend of football for Arsenal under his rule!

One of the most iconic changes is that the full-backs are no longer supported by two wing-backs, but by two midfielders with great range of movement and ability. The arrival of wizards such as Patrick Vieira and the arrival of engineered midfielders such as Petit and Gilberto allowed Arsene Wenger to implement his tactical reforms at Arsenal. At the same time, Arsene Wenger's forwards, such as Nicolas Anelka, Thierry Henry and Bergkamp, do not stay in the box like traditional strikers such as Shearer and Andy Cole waiting for the cannonballs from midfield, but take the initiative to pull out of the box and keep running, dispersing and containing Tottenham's defensive forces to gain more attacking space!

With Patrick Vieira and Gilberto effectively defending on the flanks, Pire, who played as a left-sided midfielder, was naturally able to devote more energy to attacking and began to make frequent and even frantic cuts. Bergkamp on the front line used super high ball intelligence and technical tactics in the middle, while Henry, who should have been at the front, rushed along the left corridor that belonged to Pire, killing God and killing Buddha when he met Buddha!

Therefore, when Tottenham attack, Ronaldo on the right will encounter the combined defense of Vieira and Ashley Cole, two top stars, while Bierovka on the left will need to deal with Gilberto and Lauren, who are basically not involved in the attack, and the attack on the two wings will naturally be difficult to play. Tottenham players are even more entangled when defending, Pire is not like the traditional forward midfielder to receive the ball from the middle and advance forward, but frequently cut inside from the left side to organize attacks or passes or shoots, which caused great problems for Speed and Mascherano in the midfield position. At the same time, as Bergkamp and Thierry Henry frequently pull out of the box or even retreat to the midfield to receive the ball, Ledley King and Nemanja Vidic did not dare to leave their defensive positions to mark the duo easily. In this way, Henry, who has enough room to accelerate, can attack directly from the left side of the pitch and use his speed advantage to break down the Tottenham defence. Even more painfully, if the Tottenham backline leans too far to the right to strangle Thierry Henry, then the gap they have left on the left flank will be exploited by Ljungberg, just as Tottenham conceded in the first goal of the game.

Seeing that the team was in great trouble on both offensive and defensive ends, George's face could be said to be quite solemn. Although he knows very well with the memories of his previous life that Arsenal this season is the most difficult to deal with, it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that George discovered for the first time that the Arsenal under Arsene Wenger was far more powerful than he imagined!

No wonder Arsenal in the previous life was able to win the Premier League title this season with an unbeaten record, Wenger's tactical style of play ahead of the mainstream of the Premier League and Arsenal's player configuration can indeed crush those Premier League teams whose thinking has not kept up with the trend of the times, George thought secretly in his heart.

In this way, until the end of the first half, Tottenham could only struggle under Arsenal's powerful attack. It was only in the last five minutes of the first half, after a high-intensity full-court pressing tactic under George's orders, that this passive beating situation was reversed, which made Tottenham fans feel better after nearly half the game.

The reason why this tactic was not used early in this game is mainly because this style of play consumes too much physical energy of the players, and it also has extremely high requirements for the tacit understanding between players. Because Thierry Henry's speed and Pire's agility, coupled with Bergkamp's strategy, are enough to find and catch any hole in Tottenham's defence!

However, despite being in control of the score and the initiative on the pitch for most of the first half, there was not much joy on the faces of the Arsenal players when they walked into the tunnel. Because before the end of the game, Tottenham used a quick counterattack after a break in the front court, and Drogba scored a goal to tie the score at 1-1!

After leading for almost an entire first half before going into half-time to a draw, it's no wonder the Arsenal players were so depressed.
