Facing Arsenal's opponent Keni has extraordinary motivation and fighting spirit, not only the brother Henry who is now on the opposite side who is about to be released by the war, but also because the last time he got a flower foot skill, so inexplicably he has a unique good impression of the Gunners.

But Kenny's favor did not last long before being thrown away by the rain in London, thinking that the heavens would make this Champions League group stage possible to spend in sunny weather, who would have thought that the raindrops fell again in less than ten minutes after the game started.

Because of the recent rain, the Highbury turf, which had been pumped before the game, gradually became wet again, and since the rain was not particularly heavy, the players had to brave the light rain to continue the game.

Although the game continued, the impact of such weather on the game was still obvious, and the slippery field caused the players' stability and touch of the ball to deteriorate, change direction and swipe the ball, and the ball was relatively difficult to control, which was especially obvious for Kenny and others. After two attempts, he found that even though Highbury's pitch was much better than many clubs' home courts, it would still be a great help when he got the ball, the slippery pitch made Kenny dare not start a full-throttle sprint, and the fierce scramble between the two teams made the turf inevitably tumble.

It is for this reason that from time to time, players fall to the ground in scrambling and dribbling, although there is no actual physical injury to the players, but this situation has a great impact on the offensive rhythm.

At this time, the singing in the stands was still loud, and the Arsenal fans held up pieces of paper with the Arsenal crest to form a huge pattern, even on a rainy day, creating a strong home atmosphere to declare the sovereignty of the place to the Leverkusen people, even if the rain slid down their faces, they didn't care, just sang the team song over and over again to cheer on the players fighting on the field.

The game has reached the twenty-third minute, and the score on the field is still 0:0 for the time being. Although the score has not been rewritten by anyone, there are no more highlights in this game.

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Ben and Peter Pan have fought fiercely, and this is not their first meeting of the game, but at the moment they can't help anyone! Oh? Beinrich still held on to the ball and got rid of Overmars and passed it to Ballack in front of him. ”

"Bayer Leverkusen made a big change to the lineup in this game, the veteran Kirsten who did not play in the last game against Arsenal returned from injury and was on the top of the attack, while Kani and Ballack were on the left and right, and the other right winger Neuville did not get a chance to play at the moment.

While we can't be sure of the Leverkusen manager's motivation for such a line-up, Bayer Leverkusen did not contain the Arsenal midfield, who posed a huge threat in their last meeting. ”

"Such a 433 formation is not competitive before Wenger's lineup with the core of the midfield, Bergkamp, Overmars, Vieira and other five strong midfielders to the front of the French shooter Henry with great support, a steady stream of ammunition and fire cover to make Henry like a fish in water, the weather and the field did not stop his offensive, three shots and two shots are the most profound memory he brought to Leverkusen in just 20 minutes!"

Seeing this game, Leverkusen lined up not only TV commentators, but even Bayer Leverkusen fans who traveled to England with the team could not understand. If it was tactical to put Neuville, who has been in excellent form and has always been consistent, to put him on the bench, then the replacement of Ballack was an unbelievable move for the fans.

Ballack, who has always played the role of midfield commander in the Leverkusen team, is not unable to play the position of right winger in terms of ability, but his style and the current tactical style of Leverkusen determine that he is more suitable to stay in the midfield position, because although Barberto and Beinricht have strong offensive ability with the ball in front of the three midfielders on the field, their field vision and scheduling ability are far inferior to Ballack, and the remaining midfielder Emerson is an authentic defensive player. Even though he has good heavy gunner attributes, Ballack's presence is the key to harmonizing and tandem Leverkusen's midfield.

The midfielder, who lost Ballack, was completely downcast by the Arsenal players, but Worrall, who had a cold expression on the sidelines, did not seem to see the situation at this time, and just sat there quietly without making any adjustments.

In fact, before the start of the game, he had thoroughly told his disciples about his tactical ideas, and he knew that compared with the Gunners' strong midfield, his own midfield led by Ballack could be said to be a grade lower. So with six points in hand, Worrall made a bold decision, a brave attempt.

He simply abandoned the midfield formation that would be heavily suppressed and switched to Barberto, with a trio of Beinrich and Emerson who used the non-stick trio to play the ball quickly and with the ability to insert the ball in an effort to create a midfield that could not stick to the formation in this game. With the advantage of three bodies, he can attack fiercely, retreat and defend quickly, giving up the midfield grapple with Arsenal and focusing instead on quick counter-attacks and high pressing.

There is no doubt that this approach, combined with the impactful Kani trio up front, is very lethal in attack and can pose a great danger to the Arsenal defence, but at the same time its drawbacks are obvious. When Arsenal attack in a big way, the pressure on the back line is several times greater than in previous games when pressing high posts has not worked.

And this is the most direct reason why Henry was able to shoot twice on target in 20 minutes, the experienced Gunners kept the ball firmly at their feet, and although the rainy field caused a lot of trouble for passing, the situation was not too much of an impact for the time being.

So a test of the Leverkusen backline began, whether they could hold on to the Gunners' bombardment until Worrall's tactical prowess was the most crucial point in this game, and if it collapsed prematurely, then all tactics and tricks were just empty talk.

Good night, good night, go to sleep~
