Chapter Eighty-Four: Arsenal's Counterattack (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
'In the first half, Fernando Torres scored and the score came to 1-0 and we were ahead of Arsenal at our home stadium! Judging from the situation in the first half, we were in an absolute advantage, in the face of the pressure of Yi in the midfield, Arsenal could only shrink the defensive line to play counter-attack, although they tried a few attacks, but the result was not optimistic, Campbell, the megalomaniac, paid a heavy price for his pre-match words! “
Lawrence smiled with great joy as he briefly summed up the first half.
Tottenham had the advantage and Arsenal could only play on the counter-attack.
Moreover, in the two meetings between Yile and Ozil, Yile has the upper hand, and despite the addition of the midfield lineup and tactical arrangement, Yile still shows the dominance of terror in the single line.
"We kind of sympathize with Campbell because his pre-game trash talk wasn't quite proportional to his performance on the spot. He likened Tottenham's backline to rubbish, but now he's hit with this 'rubbish'. Predictably, the Costa Rican will have to face the cynicism of the media after the game, and hopefully he won't roll around at that time..."
......
In Tottenham's dressing room, the players raved the backline.
"Aldved, you've completely frozen Campbell!"
"I was a little bit expecting what the Costa Rican would look like in the face of the media ridicule after the game."
'I can imagine how he felt mentally and felt like he could have singled out our backline but was hit all over the head hahahahaha..."
The players laughed and praised the good performance of the backline, and even Yi Le couldn't help but praise it.
In previous games, the presence at the back was minimal.
On the one hand, it is because the pressure of Tottenham's midfield is too strong, and there are not many teams that can put Tottenham under defensive pressure.
On the other hand, Tottenham's backline is overshadowed by the glow of the midfield, but when taken out in this way, Tottenham's backline is still very good.
The players giggled and laughed.
In the face of the lead, everyone was in a happy mood.
At this point, captain Lloris stepped up and said: "Don't be careless, Arsenal have always been a tough team. They were much more dangerous in the second half and this time we didn't get a big lead in the first half and didn't give them a breakdown scoreline, so we need to be extra careful with their comeback in the second half. ”
On the other side, in Arsenal's dressing room, Mesut Ozil got up and said: "Sir, I want to be a little bit higher in the second half. ”
Mesut Ozil understands that it is not good to go toe-to-toe with Tottenham's midfield, so they will avoid that.
Directly abandon the midfield, mainly in the backfield with big foot passes, and the frontcourt players look for opportunities on their own.
Although this tactic will make Arsenal unable to play with an advantage, just play it!
But the situation at this point does not allow them to think too much, and Arsenal have to take a gamble.
Wenger also agreed to this tactic after a little thought, after all, in his opinion, the same is true, and against Tottenham's ultra-mobile midfield, Arsenal can't fight at all.
Against Tottenham's midfield, they can only play passively on the counter-attack.
Then just give up the midfield, risk the front and back of the stall, increase the firepower of the front, rely on the backcourt to kick off, and find opportunities by yourself.
......
At the start of the second half, the TV camera turned to Mesut Ozil and Giroud.
The two walked out of the players' tunnel, as if they were chatting about something, but because they covered their mouths with their hands, they couldn't see what they were talking about.
But this does not prevent the on-site commentary from speculating.
'Arsenal want to turn the game around, their hope is still on Mesut Ozil and Giroud, Ozil has to recall, Giroud has to help the team score. The TV commentator commented: "Mesut Ozil has been doing well recently, but in these two north London derbyes, when Ozil faced Yi, he often couldn't bear the pressure from Yi. This was also the case in the first half, when the Chinese midfielder made the German midfielder completely dumb! So if Arsenal want to win, the problem is still in the midfield! ”
On live TV, commentators are also helping Arsenal with ideas.
They have different opinions, and all kinds of theoretical knowledge on paper come at a glance.
But what they could have never imagined was that Arsenal's intention in the second half was to completely abandon the midfield and strengthen their ability at both ends of the pitch and the back, and they had to do so despite the disconnection.
It also shows how much pressure Tottenham are putting on Arsenal.
......
From the start of the second half, Arsenal's tactics were strange to Yile.
They seem to have completely abandoned the midfield strategy, and the entire backline retreated into the big box to defend, but left a lot of people in the front.
This kind of strange trick made Yile feel a little uncomfortable.
On the one hand, he needs to press, but on the other hand, he has to watch out for Arsenal's defensive counter-attacks.
It's completely different from the first half, Arsenal have a lot of troops up front, and even Mesut Ozil has crossed Yile and stood at the back.
What to do?
Yi Le thought twice and decisively stepped forward.
Recklessness is over!
Due to Arsenal's abandonment of midfield, this has made Tottenham's army overwhelmed, and they continue to try to break through outside Arsenal's penalty area.
But it didn't work very well, and Arsenal defended resolutely.
And because the defensive net was too concentrated, Yi Le couldn't find the passing space for a while.
The two sides stalemate for about ten minutes, and finally the variables appeared.
As a result of a reckless attack by Tottenham, Dele. Alli went deep into the penalty area and fell into the trap of Arsenal's defence and was robbed of possession.
After Ascension player Mertesacker held the ball, he didn't think about it, regardless of the angle or the like, and kicked the ball forward with a big kick.
The speed of the football is fast and it flies very far.
At the same time, the Tottenham backline and the three players of Assenan, Sanchez, Giroud and Ozil, who pressed forward to the center circle, turned and ran, they were very fast, chasing football frantically.
With three forked arrows, Tottenham's defence had to be scattered.
And goalkeeper Lori couldn't bear it anymore and killed it directly.
"Chance Ball!! Arsenal's magical tactics worked! Tottenham had three Arsenal players in their half, and they were all battling with four Tottenham defenders for the ball to land, while Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris also came out of the box. ”
The ball landed around the line of the penalty area, which was already in full swing.
Tottenham's backline players are stuck in a dead frame and they can't let the Arsenal players get the ball off.
Not to be outdone, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud squeezed desperately into the middle.
Lori was also in place at this time, roaring angrily.
"Get out of the way!!!"
Lori leaped to his feet, stretching his neck as far as he could, trying to push the ball out.
Since it was near the big penalty line, he didn't dare to touch the ball with his hands, after all, the ball was difficult to judge, and in a safe place, he decided to push the ball out with his head.
But just as the lightning was shining, Sancheel came first, and with his excellent bounce ability, he took the first step to push the ball to the bottom left.
There, Mesut Ozil unloaded the ball with ease, strode into the box.
At this point, Ozil was faced with an empty goal.
He adjusted his position and easily sent the ball in.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!! ——————
The few Arsenal fans in the scene were boiling.
They were pleasantly surprised by the goal.
Arsenal's change of formation paid off, as they scored a goal despite giving up midfield.
This goal is so precious that it means that both sides of this game will be back to the same starting line!
......
Mesut Ozil was running wildly all over the field, and he raised an eyebrow at his opponent as he bypassed Yile.
Yi Le was a little depressed, he shook his head, this goal is really helpless.
The big kick kick-off of the Assenan defender was too lucky.
Tottenham's panicked defence was also leaky.
Lori even abandoned the door.
Numerous mistakes and chances completed the goal.
On the sidelines, Arsene Wenger also got up and smiled and applauded, but his brow was still tightly locked, and it was clear that this goal did not help Arsenal win the game.
They need to do more.
On the other hand, Boas was a little irritable.
Arsenal's tactics made him feel very uncomfortable, and this kind of play with a strong 'gambling nature' really appeared in a world-famous coach?
Boas couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wenger, is this guy really the 'professor' he knows, not some betting dog coach?
You know, without this balloon, Arsenal is likely to be collapsed by Tottenham's attacking pressure, and then another tragedy will occur.
But Arsene Wenger clearly has a big heart and he won the bet.
