When Tottenham Hotspur repeated his old trick to find Fernando Llorente with a long pass directly from the back, Tan Xibi was the first to approach Son Xingmin.

This was the first time Son Heung-min had faced Tan Xibi face-to-face, and when Llorente once again relied on his height advantage to push the ball to the ferry, Tan Xibi stretched out his leg to grab the second penalty, and before Son Xingmin counter-attacked, he steadily passed the ball to his teammates who were in a safe area.

"Sebastian! Harry! Musa! Mauricio Pochettino shouted at the pitch and waved his hands forward, signaling them to step forward and give Llorente more options for ferries.

However, Arsenal began to make substitutions, with No. 34 Francis Coquelin replacing Mesut Ozil, No. 17 Alex Iwobi replacing Alexandre Lacazette, and two midfielders replacing two of the trident, and it was clear that the Gunners would strengthen their defence.

Iwobi ran to his own penalty area and said to Aaron Ramsey: "Aaron, let's play as a midfielder. ”

Then he ran to Alex Sanchez: "Alex, you play center. ”

What are the benefits of having a player like Tan Xibi?

It's just that you don't have to worry about defending your dad anymore, and you can rest assured that you can boldly realize new ideas when you are ahead by more than two goals.

Ke Quelin came on the field to free Ramsey from the midfield position, and he and Tan Xibi were enough to protect the top of the arc area, and Ramsey was able to free up his hands to focus on attacking and play his ability to run away.

Arsène Wenger is going to test the combination of Sanchez, Ramsey and Iwobi, and if it weren't for the fear that Danny Welbeck, who has just recovered from injury, will be injured again in the derby, Sanchez will also be gone, after all, he is the same as Mesut Ozil.

Because the front trio did not retreat deeply, the position of the three was in the open position of the Tottenham defense, so that Tottenham did not dare to press the defense too forward, the second goal conceded in the first half and the previous few times by the Gunners offside created a lot of threats in front of the eyes, so Pochettino ordered the double midfielders must stay near the defense line to avoid the formation of a situation of more play and less when the opponent counterattacks.

Rao is Sebastian Eriksen, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko took turns to step forward, long pass rushing play is not a panacea, soon, Schkoderan Mustafi close to Llorente, so that he can not easily jump to the top, so that after Tottenham's long pass lost the fulcrum in the front, the ball completely fell into the hands of Arsenal.

After surviving the impact of a short long pass, Arsenal soon took control of the ball, and under Tan Xibi's combing, due to the fear of his guiding long pass, when the ball was in Arsenal's hands, Tottenham could only helplessly retreat to the backfield and compress the space.

How to break when the opponent is heavily defending?

It's nothing more than long-range shots, crosses into the high post of the box, set-pieces, and individual breakaways.

In the case of falling behind by two goals, Pochettino has no choice, don't look at Tottenham under his leadership, counterattack is impressive, he can know that Arsenal is the best expert at defending in the early days of the Premier League.

For a long time, the game of Arsenal was about running lazily and lacking fighting spirit, while Tottenham Hotspur was the opposite, and Pochettino's youth storm was running and pressing all the time.

But in this game, the two teams seemed to exchange souls, and Arsenal played with great momentum, and until now they have always maintained high pressure, forcing Tottenham to make mistakes.

Tottenham, on the other hand, is still trying to play pressing football, but it is not enough to be pressed by Arsenal.

You dare to press out, revealing the open field behind you, and Arsenal will teach you who is the ancestor of anti-rebellion every minute.

Because he is very afraid of Tan Xibi's long-range shot, no matter where he runs, there will be Tottenham players blocking his shooting path.

With Oliver Giroud missing the game injured in the international game, and Arsene Wenger not daring to risk the return of Welbeck, the lack of high posts up front, the Gunners' wings will hardly rush to cross into the opposition penalty area.

As for set-pieces, for a long time, Arsenal did not seem to have a high and consistent free-kick master, and as for indirect free-kick attacks, this is only five or five with opponents.

In terms of individual breakthroughs, it seems that Sanchez is good at it, followed by Iwobi.

However, Sanchez plays as a pseudo-center, whether it is physique or height, he cannot go to the penalty area to fight with the opponent, so the range of movement is outside the penalty area, as long as there is the ball at his feet, he can either break through with the ball depending on the situation and choose to pass or shoot, or seek cooperation with teammates to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Entering the positional battle, Iwobi cooperated more with Tan Xibi on the periphery, and Ramsey acted as a-stirring stick, relying on constant running to involve the opponent.

At this time, people may miss Ozil, who is good at finding gaps in positional battles and passing a lethal pass, everyone knows that Arsenal is basically helpless when they run into opponents, and can only pass around on the periphery to consume time.

However, Arsenal is not in a hurry, after all, it is not them who are behind, so what they have is patience and grinding with their opponents.

Tottenham is not in a hurry, anyway, if you can't beat it, you will stick to it, and it is better to lose 0-2 than to concede more goals. Even if you lose, you will have more league points than your old rivals.

Besides, the league is a marathon, and losing a game is not the end of the world, and the next time you get the field back in White Hart Lane.

Given the Champions League in midweek, Pochettino naturally opted for resignation, although he won't admit it.

"The second half was a bit boring." Andres Pirlo was rather bored, and what about the good north London derby, which is sabre-rattling and passionate?

It's a fake derby, right?

Although until the 70th minute of the second half, Tan Xibi kept running to catch the ball, and then dispatched long passes in order to mobilize the opponent, there was no way to tear the opponent's iron bucket formation.

As for not taking a long-range shot, it was because the opponent cut off the shooting route, Tan Xibi would not take the liberty of his feet, and he also knew that Tottenham's counterattack could not be taken lightly.

"Jack, Aron, Alex, Hector." Taking advantage of a throw-in, Tan called Jake Wilshere, Ramsey, Iwobi and Hector Bellerin to him.

With Arsenal running out of last substitutions at 68 minutes into the second half, bringing on Wilshere for Alexis Sanchez and Iwobi in the number nine role, Arsene Wenger will obviously want to experiment with the front three to see how effective this strike-free formation can be.

After listening to Tan Xibi's plan, Bellerin and the others looked at each other and let out a sinister laugh of "hey, hey, hey".

Pochettino, who saw this scene on the sidelines, shuddered for no reason, what were they talking about secretly?

Bellerin held the ball high on the touchline and Aaron Ramsey and Iwobi ran to meet it, with the pair closely followed by the Tottenham players.

Suddenly, Bellerin threw the ball behind them, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the receiver.

This person is Tan Xibi, who received the ball in the corner of the penalty area and turned to dribble horizontally along the penalty area.
