Chapter 394: Arsenal with a sudden change in painting style
I thought that at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal would continue the strategy and tactics of the first half, continue to make some fuss in the midfield, and then wait for the opportunity to show the sword, but it has been proved that such tactics have obvious effects, at least they have not become the side behind them.

But Arsenal once again blinded everyone with their performances, and today they were going to do it by surprise.
As the referee's whistle blew, Arsenal opened up and launched a fierce attack on the Notts County position, more engaged than in the final moments of the first half, and seemed to have changed back to the Arsenal team with a superior position in the Premier League, the only difference was that Arsenal were faster.
The speed of the run, the speed of the pass, the pace of the Arsenal has been raised to a point that they have not tried on their own.
Although the Notts County side was a little surprised, but after understanding Arsenal's style of play, they all showed a smile, they like Arsenal's unscrupulous confession, so that they can really compete with their opponents, they don't believe that they will be the lagging side in the attack.
So the next thing is like thunder and fire, you sword me and I sword, and the real attack started.
Arsenal's attack is strong, and Notts County are not weak either, and they are scared at the back as far as their own backline is concerned.
Thierry Henry had just finished a shot and the ball flew into Arsenal's half, and a few quick passes turned into a threatening attack from Notts County, and after this attack failed, Arsenal immediately came back and repeated.
At this time, the game really became good, and the Notts County fans in the stands were also ignited, the cheers were earth-shattering, and the fans watching the broadcast in front of the TV were also engrossed in the game, cheering loudly.
Loew stood on the sidelines, although his eyes kept on the ball, but the afterglow was not swept to Wenger, who was not far away, and he knew it in his heart.
It seems that Arsene Wenger is planning to really use this half to decide the winner!
Yes, everyone underestimated Wenger's courage, Notts County has a strong momentum, but the well-staffed Arsenal is also one of the strongest presences in the Premier League, if even Arsenal can't show the courage to confront Notts County head-on, can they still let Notts County cover the sky in the Premier League?
The game became intense, the threat from both sides skyrocketed, and the goalkeepers on both sides were a little nervous by the fast-paced transition between attack and defence, as if they were facing a big enemy, and God knows when the ball will hit the goal again.
Everyone has seen the fierce scene, and then it is time to expect the goals to appear, and the two sides of the game did not disappoint everyone, and the goals came one after another.
The first to break the deadlock was played at home by Notts County, Kuyt, a versatile player who once played a defensive midfielder, once again showed his all-round, after going down the flank, he did not choose to cross, but stumbled into the penalty area, and fed the ball directly to Villa, Huluwa smiled at the gift, and jumped on Kuyt's body after the goal to thank him for his wonderful assist.
However, Notts County didn't have a long lead, and in the next attack, Bergkamp shook off Alonso and fired a cold shot from the edge of the box, and Diego Lopes couldn't do anything about it when his view was blocked, and Arsenal equalised.
And these two goals also made the players on both sides even more crazy, and the tactical arrangement gradually became useless, and it was decided by the players' on-the-spot performance.
The goalscoring performance was far from over, and this time it was Carvalho, who had been holding his breath to teach Henry a lesson.
Although the Portuguese centre-back performed well in this game, he did not leave Henry with absolute chances in the one-on-one with Henry, and he has completed the task that the centre-back should do.
But Carvalho's goal is not so simple, he also wants to clean his shame and atone for his sins with a goal, although no one thinks he is at fault.
His team-mates understood his mentality before the game and devised several sets of exclusive positioning tactics for him, but in the first half, there was no room for him to play due to the fierce competition in midfield, and now Carvalho can finally let go of his hands.
Pire's unprofessional defensive move brought down Deco at a 45-degree position and Notts County won a well-placed free-kick.
Arsenal are on the verge of being a big opponent, after all, Notts County still have a few players in the squad who are excellent at heading, and they have to be extremely careful to defend every set-piece.
At this time, the Notts County players began to stand and run according to the pre-match arrangement.
Westerman, the tallest player in the field for Notts County, did not play in the middle of the field, but came to the back post where defenders were scarce, players with good ability to grab points such as Villa and Kuyt kept running in the box to grab positions, Carvalho, a middle-back who was not outstanding in the crowd, who would have thought that he would be the center of gravity of Notts County's set-piece tactics!
As soon as Arsenal looked at the Notts County set-up, they probably knew that the ball would go to the back post, with Westman competing for the first point and then ferrying to the goal, and then players such as Villa or Kuyt competing for the second goal, which was a very common tactic.
So Westman was surrounded by a free-hand player who was ready to interfere with his fight for the first spot, Villa and Kuyt were also followed by full-time free-goers, and the other players in the box were looking for their own targets, but obviously, the others were not the focus.
As expected by the Arsenal players, Alonso's free-kick was driven to the back post and Westman pushed Campbell to cross the ball into the middle.
At this time, Villa suddenly started, and ran forward suddenly without looking at the landing point of the ball, Kuyt also retreated and ran backwards, and the defenders who followed them did not dare to follow carelessly while paying attention to the incoming ball, and at the same time, the need to run for the two players also attracted the attention of other defenders, and suddenly made the middle a vacuum.
At this time, the ball also flew to the middle, Carvalho jumped directly to the top without much defensive pressure, and pushed the ball into the door of Arsenal, while Henry was not far behind him, his expression was surprised, and it directly turned into a background board.
After the goal, Carvalho struggled to get up, ran frantically to several teammates, and when he passed Henry's side, his expression was so wonderful, with a kind of transcendent contempt in his eyes, as if to say: "Look, I don't have to use despicable means, I can score goals too!" ”
Henry felt insulted, and the expression on his flushed face became hideous. (To be continued.) )
