73 And the next city

"Yes. ”

With a two-goal lead heading into the break, West Ham's players were beaming and in a very good mood. Speaking of which, most of these players are too young and have not won any championship honors.

Like Chen Ping, he is a rookie in front of such a national champion.

So it's extra exciting.

'In the second half you came to the middle. In the second half, in addition to strengthening the attack, Middlesbrough will definitely strengthen the defense on the wing. When the time comes, Middlesbrough's two midfielders will definitely protect the wings, so that there will be space in the middle. You're back in the middle. ”

"Yes. ”

Arshavin actually didn't fully hear Chen Ping's words. Arshavin has been in the UK for two months, which means he can speak some simple English. English is too long, he can't understand it. But he understood what Chen Ping meant. Chen Ping in the second half was to return himself to the middle and play the position behind Lambert.

This location is the most familiar to Arshavin.

So nodded.

"Frank. ”

"Yes. ”

'In the second half you went to the left. You and Andre can change positions at any time. ”

"Leo. You go back to the right and focus on Cenden. ”

Chen Ping had to change the formation in the second half to 4-2-3-1. How McLaren will step up the offense, Chen Ping is not clear. But West Ham played Middlesbrough's wide side into a sieve in the first half, and McClaren will certainly strengthen the wide defence.

There aren't many ways to strengthen the defense on the wings.

Either the full-backs drop back to protect the full-backs, or the midfielders protect the wings. Middlesbrough's two wings, Mendieta and Zenden, are not the type to defend aggressively. And in the second half, Middlesbrough was going to attack, and it was impossible for these two to retreat to defend.

The best way to guard against West Ham's wide players is to protect the wings from the midfielders.

Middlesbrough double midfield.

Once they distract from the defense on both wings, then the defense in the middle will be problematic. That's why Chen Ping let Arshavin return to the middle. Arshavin has the technique, the speed, the passing and the ability to break is amazing.

It's very difficult to defend in the middle.

"Michael, remember. Try to use the width as much as possible to make Middlesbrough think we are playing on the wing. As long as Middlesbrough's midfield spreads out, they will play in the middle when the time comes. If there are many people in the middle, you will play on the side, and if there are few people in the middle, you will play in the middle. See what I mean?"

"Yes. ”

Chen Ping nodded.

Others don't say it, but they are very relieved for Carrick Chen Ping. Because Carrick is a real player who plays with his brain. West Ham's two midfielders, Frank Lampard and Michael Carrick, were far less famous than Joe Cole when they debuted, but both were players who played with their brains. That's why the achievements of the two will surpass Joe Cole a lot.

Therefore, for Carrick, Chen Ping only needs to simply assign his tasks. Chen Ping believed that he understood what Chen Ping meant.

"At the beginning of the second half, we stepped up the attack. Try to score another goal in the first ten minutes. If the attack doesn't work after five or six minutes, then immediately retreat and continue to play in the back three. ”

It's important to get ahead of the curve.

'Middlesbrough will have a hard time breaking down the current West Ham defence without some changes. West Ham have a back three in midfield and are not limited to crosses from the wings. Just firmly in control of the mid lane. Such a defensive formation is very useful against Middlesbrough. Because Middlesbrough's frontline players are too disadvantaged in height and don't have the same strong centre-forwards as the average Premier League team, crosses are not a threat at all. I don't know what kind of changes Middlesbrough is going to make. ”

Soon it was the start of the second half, and Motersen immediately summed up the situation of the first half.

"yes. ”

Lineker is a player and has been commenting for so many years, so he has his own opinions. Lineker was hoping for McClaren to win, but the situation was completely different.

'From the first half, West Ham were very successful in restricting Middlesbrough. And Coach Chen Ping didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and he lined up the three backs at the beginning of the game, and he was not in a hurry at all. In comparison, Middlesbrough was under more pressure, unable to calm down, and was caught by West Ham on the weak spot to counterattack. ”

"Three backs, this is really a rare formation. I just don't know what kind of way Middlesbrough will have to break down West Ham's back three. Now that West Ham are 2-0 up, they will certainly continue to maintain a back three on the counter-attack. ”

Three back waists.

The first half of the back three was very successful and was a successful restraint on Middlesbrough. Therefore, Mortensen believes that Chen Ping will continue to play in the back three, especially now that he is leading 2-0.

That's what Mortenson thinks, and so does McLaren. So he set up in midfield how to break down West Ham's defence. Ask the Grand Juninho to increase the breakthrough.

And McClaren is ready to change the situation on the pitch with substitutions if the situation doesn't change in the second half. McClaren thinks this way as a coach, let alone the Middlesbrough players.

But when the second half began, everyone was confused.

'Carrick, Carrick played the ball to the left. Ribery, Ribery crosses...... Southgate pushed out. Carrick, it's Carrick who controls the ball. ”

"Carrick, Carrick passes to Leo Cork. Glen Johnson is fast, Glen Johnson, cross!"

"Carrick, Carrick suddenly came alive in the second half. Carrick had rarely moved forward in the first half, but in the second half Carrick and Leo Cork suddenly moved forward. Middlesbrough had no control of the ball at all in midfield. West Ham's two wings were a tiger. ”

Surprise and attack unprepared.

This is the art of war of the ancestors, and it will work best at this time to hit you unexpectedly. While McClaren and Middlesbrough's players were still thinking about how to break West Ham's back three, West Ham suddenly picked up the tempo of the game in the second half and stepped up their scrambles.

Leo Cork headed down the right and Carrick suddenly stepped forward to press.

Rush.

This is the case with Middlesbrough. And West Ham's two wings played very actively, making not only Middlesbrough's two full-backs retreat to protect them, but even Middlesbrough's midfielders had to protect the wings.

The Middlesbrough players really didn't expect West Ham to do the same.

'West Ham was a surprise. Carrick, passing the ball to Leo Koke...... Glenn Johnson puts on again, Leo Cork ...... Leo Cork passes the ball to Arshavin. ”

West Ham's position has changed.

It baffled the players of Middlesbrough. Arshavin, who had excelled on the left in the first half, ran to the middle, and Franck Franck Ribery, who played on the right, ran to the left. All made the Middlesbrough midfield setup completely useless.

Fight to the side.

West Ham will not play in the middle of the game at all, as Middlesbrough have a double midfield. In the second half, too, he played wide all the way, but this time Leo Koke suddenly passed the ball to Arshavin.

Boateng stepped forward.

George Boateng is a Ghanaian-born Dutch player. The typical African player is fast, physical, and physical. Boateng's idea was simple.

Arshavin is only 1.72 meters, and his body looks relatively thin. Just as Carrick stepped forward to hit Juninho, Boateng wanted to use his physical strength to squeeze Arshavin away.

Arshavin saw Boateng coming and immediately prepared to go to the right. Boateng immediately stepped forward, ready to jam Arshavin's breakthrough route. Boateng is confident that as long as he takes a step forward, Arshavin's small body will not be able to break through at all. But as soon as Boateng's body stepped forward, Arshavin had already broken through from Boateng's left.

Arshavin's next handicap didn't move at all.

Arshavin was just a shake of his upper body. But the rhythm is very good, making a breakthrough to the right, and the movements of the upper body are very realistic. Boateng was completely fooled, and his body was completely leaning forward.

Arshavin, on the other hand, ran easily past Boateng's left.

"Arshavin, wonderful feints. The feint of the upper body completely shook Boateng. Arshavin, Arshavin goes straight into the penalty area!"

Fast.

Leo Cork picked up the ball and Doriva had already run to the right to help defend. Middlesbrough only had Boateng in the midfield position, but he didn't expect Arshavin to break through Boateng so easily. The midfield position is something that you can't easily break through, because it's too dangerous.

After breaking through Boateng, Arshavin faced directly at the back line of Middlesbrough.

Arshavin cut into the box in an instant, looking for space between Middlesbrough's full-backs and centre-backs. Don't look at Lambert who didn't have many opportunities to perform in this game, but he alone made Middlesbrough's centre-backs very uncomfortable. Because Lambert's impact was too strong.

Essiogu is tall enough, but at the age of thirty-one, he is already at a disadvantage against Lambert. So Southgate's help is needed. Therefore, Essiogu and Southgate have always maintained close cooperation, and the distance is not very far. Be ready to cooperate with Lambert at any time.

However, West Ham kept playing on the wings, so the two full-backs were on the wing, and the distance between them and the centre-backs was a bit long. This time too. There was a long distance between Mills and Southgate, defending Ribery on the right.

After Arshavin broke through Boateng, he immediately joined in the gap. It was to burst into the box from between Mills and Southgate.

"Southgate, it's a bit big, Southgate...... Arshavin, Arshavin, left-footed shot!"

"Schwarzer, crotch! crotch!"

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

'Arshavin was helping West Ham seal the win. Just six minutes into the second half, West Ham were already three goals ahead of Middlesbrough thanks to Arshavin's goal. The Carabao Cup title seems to be out of the palm of West Ham's hands. ”

'Arshavin, this player is just too good. West Ham were lucky to have spent just £3 million to acquire such a good player. ”
