85 Tactical contest

"Make adjustments?" Niu Shuai raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mike Ferran, shook his head, and said: "We don't have enough time, every game, we are slowly grinding in the lineup, but different opponents, we need different combinations of players." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info Mike, no matter how much you adjust, at least in this game, no one can do better than the current players. ”

Outside the locker room door, Phelan proposed to make some adjustments to change the passive situation, but Niu Shuai denied it.

Ferran was about to say something, but Marko Milovic patted him on the shoulder and shook his head slightly.

Niu Shuai opened the door and walked in, glanced at the players who were a little unhappy, sat on the chair, and then said nothing.

Robin van Persie contributed the only shot from goal range in the first half, which was held firmly to the chest by Petr Cech and it was Hull City's only threatening chance of the first half.

The Dutchman's face is calm, and he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone in this game, so he's in a good mentality.

The same goes for Mathieu Flaminifer, who, along with Mohamed Sissoko and captain Bastian Schweinsteiger, has protected the defence well, and his stamina and running ability are the main factors in Arsenal's inability to shoot more in the back of the net.

Although he is 32 years old, the intensity of the weekly race is not a problem for the French iron waist, who has always been known for his wide range of runs and running to the death, 90 minutes of running all the time is not a problem.

It's just that Mesut Ozil, who was a team-mate not long ago, and Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin against him, made him feel less like he was playing an official game, but an in-team training match.

Joel Campbell, Serge Gnabry and Jack Wilshere were a little unhappy, with the three young Gunners bent on proving themselves in this game, but apart from a few counter-attacks, they spent most of the time assisting the defence, leaving them feeling aggrieved.

The only one in a good mood was Callum Chambers, although he represented Arsenal in the first game of the new season, although he scored a goal, but he and the younger Rob Holding formed a young defense of the post-90s was broken by Liverpool's strikers, and the lack of defensive sense and rough defense made him unable to get more opportunities at Arsenal.

After the loan to Hull City, through training, Chambers made his first appearance against his former team-mate, and he was nervous at first, but when Alex Iwobi counterattacked, he blocked his inward route in time, and strengthened his confidence, and slowly, with the help of experienced teammate Martin Cáceres and Zhu Zeming, who was born to command the defense, "Colander" Chambers became a solid brick in the Great Wall of the back, and almost did not give his former team-mate a chance throughout the first half, and Iwobi did not take advantage of his side.

So Chambers senses that his strength is growing, and of course, it's more of a mental hint of positive energy that shows how important praise is for someone who needs to be confident.

The first thing Niu Shuai said was: "Everyone played well in the first half, especially the back line formed by Chambers. ”

'Arsenal are strong, that's a fact, we have to accept it.' Niu Shuai glanced at the players in front of him and took in their expressions, "But we didn't let them score, that's a good thing, it shows that although they suppressed us and seemed to have the upper hand on the field, in fact they didn't create great scoring opportunities, and in front of our defense, they actually couldn't come up with too many offensive methods." ”

The players looked at each other, and the leader was right, giving up the flanks and putting more troops in the middle, which really made the Gunners without a high striker attack with a loud thunder and a little rain.

And they didn't fight back in a passive situation, but Van Persie didn't find the back of the net, Gnabry broke down the wing and then crossed vigorously, but Campbell, who flanked the back post, kicked a flawed shot, which was the only second shot on goal in the first half, a shot that went wide.

Although the number of shots on goal was only two, it also means that Hull City did not have the opportunity to counter-attack, but just did not take advantage of it.

People who can become professional players and play for giants are not fools, Niu Shuai's tactics are very effective on the defensive end, and on the offensive side, due to strength and run-in reasons, it is not Niu Shuai's tactics that cannot be played, but the problem that the players cannot execute.

No matter how good the tactics are, the players are always executed on the field, and the players are people, not machines, and the tactics cannot be executed 100% perfectly.

Including the substitute players, they all looked at Niu Shuai, their eyes were full of hope, after all, the Chinese man in his thirties in front of him has proved himself with excellent results since he joined the team, and they are all looking forward to Niu Shuai saying the tactical play in the second half.

'In the second half, Arsenal will come back and play to bring us out, if they don't attack, the back line and the midfield line are a little bit ahead, the front-line players press their midfield, so they can't pass comfortably in midfield, make sure to disrupt their passing rhythm, let them rush up, force them to attack, we have a chance to counter-attack.

In the Arsenal dressing room, Arsène Wenger frowned and watched the replay of the first half, and the players rushed to rest and massage to recover the physical energy consumed in the first half, after all, most of the offensive consumption is not small.

Assistant coach Steve Boulder said: "If you don't make substitutions and increase the attacking points up front, Xhaka's long-range shot will be a bigger threat to the opposition's goal. ”

Wengermore rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "It's useless, they basically give up the defense on the wing, there are too many people in the middle, there is no space for long-range shots, if you don't draw them out, Xhaka's long pass is useless." ”

Boulder sighed slightly: "It's a pity that Giroud is not there, otherwise they would not dare to give up the wing and put more people in the middle." ”

First-team coach Boro Primorac was reluctant to say: "If they are still cowering at the back, will they have to draw again? ”

Wenger's eyes flashed, a draw? How could it be, that would only be left further by Manchester City.

'In the first half we were not very decisive in attack and had too many touches, and in the second half the players up front had to play more with the ball, Theo, Alex.

"Boss."

"Yes, sir."

"Take the ball and push as far as you can towards the number five, that will be our breakthrough." The corners of Wenger's mouth curled slightly, pointed to Zhu Zeming on the screen, and said confidently.

"Okay, boss!"

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely break through him!"

Niu, this No. 5 of yours is indeed very good, but unfortunately, he is not an opponent of Theo and Alex at the moment.
