Chapter 215: Unsolvable Demonic Beasts

"Guys, I'm pretty happy with the way you guys played in the first half. "After entering the dressing room, George never mentioned the fact that he was attacked by Henry, and praised the players present as soon as he came up, "It is a very rare thing to be able to withstand the pressure in the unfavorable situation of conceding a goal first, continue to adhere to the established policy to suppress Arsenal with attack, and equalize the score before the end of the first half."www.biquge.info Even I couldn't have asked more of you. ”

"Sorry, Boss......" Seeing that George didn't blame them at all, but kept praising them, Ridley King stood up with a shy face and admitted his mistake to his own manager, "When Henry scored goals before, not only did I fail to play my role as a captain and remind others to be careful of Henry's sneak attack, but I also received a yellow card, which caused unnecessary trouble to the team. ”

"No, Ledley, you did it very right. George interrupted Ridley King's speech and said with a smile on his face, "As a team leader, you have an obligation to stand up and make your opinion known to the referee when there is a controversial decision on the field. Also, you don't have to mind too much about the yellow card, it's all the referee's own problem. Hell knows what Bennett's old dazed guy was thinking, and he gave you a yellow card for that. ”

Hearing George's relief, Ledley King and many other Tottenham players couldn't help but feel like they were dying for their confidants - with such a capable and humane owner and manager leading the team, what else could they say? Doing their best to repay George's trust was the only thing they could do!

It is not surprising that this will happen. After all, there are very few people with higher education among professional players, and highly educated people like Redondo who received a bachelor's degree as a player can be said to be rare, and most players either dropped out of school early or mixed up with high Chinese. This also means that even if you get a big contract and become rich, the players will easily be impressed by something like chicken soup for the soul!

The lower the level of education, the more likely it is that the way they think and act is influenced by righteousness and emotions. That's what it means. George didn't intend to take advantage of this, but as he does now, when he shows his support for the players with practical actions, the players will naturally choose to stand on the same trench with him!

At the same time, in the away team's dressing room on the other side, Arsene Wenger, who has always been elegant, was a rare anger: "I arranged before the game to focus on defensive counterattacks, not to set up a bucket formation! Look at your performance in the second half of the first half, I don't know, I'm afraid you will think that we are engaging in half-time offensive and defensive drills with Tottenham! Think about it yourself, is your performance worthy of the Arsenal shirt you are wearing?!"

Hearing Wenger's words, Reyes, Sigan and others couldn't help but have a fever on their faces. Because they know very well that what Wenger said is basically true. Indeed, after relying on Thierry Henry's free-kick to take the lead, most of them went into the game with a 1-0 attitude. In the face of Tottenham's attack, they are just blindly shrinking the defensive line to resist the opponent's attack, completely forgetting that the focus of defensive counter-attack tactics is not to defend to the death, but to quickly counterattack after successful defense!

Thierry Henry was mindful of this and tried very hard to turn it around, but with Patrick Vieira lacking skills, Cesc Fabregas and the rest of his team-mates focusing on the defensive end, the Kings of Highbury were also unable to support themselves, and could only watch as the hard-won lead was swallowed up by Tottenham and finally went into the break with a score of 1-1.

It's true that we were a little too cowardly after the goal, not at all like a team that wants to win the title, Reyes and others thought in their minds. After being severely reprimanded by Arsene Wenger, they also felt they should have been more proactive.

Arsene Wenger's words at half-time were effective. After the start of the second half, the Arsenal players changed the passive state of being beaten in the second half of the first half and began to actively compete with Tottenham for the ball on the field. Once the ball is broken, everyone will launch a counterattack at the first time, give full play to their technical advantages, and pass the ball to Henry who is cruising in the front court as quickly as possible!

Arsenal's quick counter-attacks clearly have Wenger's coaching style and imprint, for example, they will insist on attacking from the ground no matter what, ensuring the accuracy of passing while passing quickly through the midfield, and most of the counter-attacks are dominated by short-to-medium distance passes, and there are few cases where the backfield players directly find Henry with long passes.

Unlike Arsenal, who insist on attacking from the ground even on the counter-attack, Tottenham's offensive is more three-dimensional. Of course, with Campbell out injured and Arsenal's defences greatly reduced, it is only natural that Tottenham players will be more inclined to use the upper three as the end point of attack.

Now that you know that your opponent's air defense is insufficient, and you have strikers like Drogba and Klose who are good at aerial operations, why not play to your own strengths and attack Arsenal's weakest point?

As a result of the attacking strategy that the Tottenham players insisted on, Kolo Toure and Sigan, who started as central defenders, were naturally unlucky. The former is not good at defending this kind of power striker, while the latter is 1.92 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms, but in front of Drogba, he is no different from a wooden stake, and has been easily broken through by opponents!

Frustrated Wenger, replaced the clumsy Sigan with Senderos in the 60th minute, leaving the physically strong Swiss youngster to deal with Drogba. Sadly, however, at only nineteen years old, Senderos is clearly no match for the fully developed Ivorian Warcraft. Despite Senderos's tenaciousness and hard work on the pitch, the huge difference in physical attributes between the two is a chasm that the Swiss simply cannot overcome!

I hope that this guy Senderos will not be beaten by Drogba like in his previous life...... Looking at Sendros, who was staggered under the impact of Drogba, George could only bless the Swiss in his heart. After all, the two sides have different positions, and he can't make a move to support the enemy just because he admires a certain player.

In the 64th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo and Alonso played a wall-to-wall combination on the left flank, breaking through the defence of Patrick Vieira and Ashley Cole in succession, and then distributing the ball to Drogba in the middle. The Ivorian ignored Senderos' defence, forced the ball around with the Swiss in the box, and then pierced Lehmann's 10-finger mark with a powerful volley!
