The second half was full of waves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the 52nd minute of the game, Manchester City seized the opportunity of a set-piece in front of the goal, and the header of central defender Boriji scored.

Another set-piece drop apparently upset Arsene Wenger in the dugout, with the Frenchman quickly moving to the sidelines and bringing in right-back Bald.

Although it is better to summarize the game at the end of the game, it is also important to be a head coach and keep a first-hand grasp of the situation. After all, the players are the real participants, and many details are not known to outsiders.

Bald has always been a favourite for Arsene Wenger's assistant coach, and conceding the ball has little to do with his defensive zone, so he didn't hide it after being called in.

"The landing point was a little bit behind, and Tony and Martin probably didn't hear David's shouts clearly, interfering with the goalkeeper's line."

Such an answer made Wenger frown.

On the surface, it seems that there is a lack of tacit understanding between the goalkeeper and the defender, but in fact, these old guys have been playing together for almost ten years, how can there be a tacit understanding problem?

It was clear that it was David Seaman's rapidly declining form that dragged down the team's entire defence, causing the two centre-backs to take the blame instead of making up for the team's last link.

"Be patient and reduce the number of fouls in front of the penalty area."

Wenger's instructions were obviously only a temporary decision to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and Bald also knew the reason, had no objections, and turned back to deliver the news as soon as possible.

This is the case with a team's defence, where the characteristics of the centre-backs can complement each other, and the wing-backs and centre-backs can complement each other's gaps, but the goalkeeper has no way out. Therefore, in a mature backline, the goalkeeper must not have obvious weaknesses in terms of style or tacit understanding, of course, including personal ability, personality and temperament.

David Seaman did not have obvious above weaknesses in his youth. The pace of the dip has been greater than expected, especially the rapid decline in jumping ability and range of motion, which has led to a lack of confidence in the face of set-pieces.

To put it simply, no one can make up for the goalkeeper's pot!

If You Mo's suggestion finally comes to fruition, it will undoubtedly be the right move. Arsene Wenger, who was still a little skeptical, became clear as the goalkeeper's link became more and more prominent.

Can't hesitate any longer!

The score of 1:2 made the Manchester City team overjoyed. Amid the roar of more than 70,000 fans, they won more possession by running more aggressively, so much so that they actually overwhelmed the defending champions on the field.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

Compared to being crushed by the opponent in a positional battle, conceding points from set-pieces obviously does not affect morale too much. Arsenal's attacking players were already in good form and had a good foot wind, and after Manchester City returned with a few big pressures to no avail, they seized the opportunity to make the score 3-1 with a quick counter-attack.

It was Petit who scored the goal.

Nicolas Anelka leaned in the box and nudged Bergkamp's through ball to give his team-mate the chance to blast home. In the end, the French did not waste the great gifts given by their compatriots. A powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area that was a world wave pierced the Manchester City goalkeeper's ten fingers.

After the goal, Petit was very excited, and sprinted at high speed to the corner flag and came to a five-meter kneeling knee.

It makes sense that the French are so excited.

He was sidelined with an injury shortly after the start of the season, and as a result, he lost his main position after recovering from injury. This kind of thing is normal, and trying to get back into the starting line-up is the only thing to do. But no one expected that in addition to playing well, the guys who occupied his position on the field also played a more concise and direct way of playing the team's technical and tactical play as if they were affected by their terrifying goal efficiency!

No manager wants his team's attacking approach to be too one-sided, so this kind of guy who doesn't match the team's style is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will be happy, and if you don't use it well, you will naturally work hard and be empty. As it stands. The two sides are obviously in the honeymoon period, and there is really no reason to take this guy's main position in order to take care of the veteran's emotions.

The Frenchman wasn't much excited when he learned he was starting before the game.

Obviously, next week's Champions League fixtures in midweek will even include two highly-anticipated home games against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur next weekend. His starting position is worrying.

However, as a professional player, the only way to change the manager's perception is to perform well on and off the pitch. The French knew this and played very hard.

Running distances of more than 11 kilometres in a race are a bit of a luxury for seasoned veterans. But now the situation is stronger than people, and in order to overwhelm his opponent in the competition, he has no idea of retaining his physical strength to prepare for the next fierce battle. The Frenchman has used his humble promotion as a stepping stone to at least brush up on next weekend's derby clash of impressions.

Don't underestimate this impression score.

Any top team, every game they play, everyone's performance, will be carefully studied with a magnifying glass. If the Frenchman is very good in this game, then even if he does not get a starting place in the last two games, the invisible pressure will make the opponents carry the burden before they fight!

If the opponent does not perform satisfactorily under heavy pressure, in addition to the person being criticized by the party, the head coach also has to bear a lot of blame.

This kind of seemingly fair competition thing, due to the different opponents, the preconceived impression is different, but in fact it is not equal. The Frenchman was well aware of this and had no regrets about missing a crucial match, but gave his all in such a difficult game and finally met his pre-match expectations.

Such a goal may seem like the icing on the cake, but it actually comes when the opponent is just starting to gain momentum, and the effect is comparable to a goal to break the deadlock!

So, while the clock was close to half an hour to go, the goal actually killed the game.

And that's exactly what happened.

The 3-1 scoreline allowed both sides to play more relaxed, and the rest of the game was a goal for both teams, reaffirming the old adage.

"Don't play against Arsenal ......"

Of course, at this time, the prestige of Arsenal is only limited to the Premier League, and it is only at the level of a junior brother in European competition, which risks flashing his tongue when he says it.

Jumo replaced Nicolas Anelka on 75 minutes and provided an indirect assist for the team's final goal. His header was saved by the opposition and the ball landed unbiased after several collisions, just in front of the penalty area where Vieira had arrived.

This old man was obviously in good shape after a rest, and the heavy artillery bombardment that was rarely seen in usual times was used without delay. Without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, it was a long-range missile with good speed and angle that solved the battle.

Scoring two goals in a row in almost the same way, although there is an element of luck in it, but the real decisive factor is the strength.

That's how it is sometimes in the game, relaxed mentality, good form. The shot felt naturally explosive, and the long-range shot, which is usually not very grasped, was even higher than the level in training in this situation, so it was not surprising to score two goals in a row.

The score of 4:2 was an acceptable result for both parties, and both the parties and onlookers had the opinion that it was worth the trip, so the atmosphere after the game was quite good.

Anelka, Petit, Vieira, and the three French generals all scored goals, which naturally made Wenger full of face. In the face of the interview, he also praised the performance of the disciples.

In contrast, guys like Yumo and Ljungberg, who were in the limelight some time ago, were a little left out, and both of them became spectators, whether it was an interview in the mixed zone or a post-match press conference.

The two guys' minds obviously didn't stop at this game, and after a few small talks, they began to pack up their things and head to the locker room.

The first to come naturally first to go, but as a result, the two of them had just pushed open the door of the locker room and walked out a few steps, when the French gang trio came to them.

Anelka, Wiltord. Petit.

Grimandi was not selected in the 18-man squad for this game, which will be secretly sad in some corner. Patrick Vieira has made his position clear since the last three-way meeting in the dressing room. Naturally, there is no interest in mixing with fellow citizens.

"Hey, boys, aren't you playing too hard?"

Petit, who spoke first, waited until the two waves were about to pass by.

This provocation is more skillful.

If you speak too early, the purpose is too obvious, and your image is not good in the eyes of onlookers. If you speak too late, the other party may pretend not to hear, and the effect will be reduced.

This is a provocative way to say hello and not to say hello. Onlookers will feel that there is no smell of gunpowder, but more like the veteran team member is reminding the newcomer. For the parties concerned, it is obviously a bit of a confession to be deaf when they are so close.

Especially with a little brother.

"yes, save some energy and prepare for the next two games." You Mo really stopped. gave a somewhat surprising answer.

The locker room of a team has a different scale of jokes due to the different voices that everyone has. A joke like the one above is fine for the old guys to say in a good mood.

After all, they have proven themselves with a professional attitude in the past years, and they will not let themselves be saddled with a negative evaluation of not being professional because of a joke or two.

But for newcomers like You Mo, this kind of joke is a big taboo.

When you are a newcomer, a positive attitude is always a basic requirement for newcomers, no matter when and where you are. Therefore, no matter how big a name the guy is when he just arrives, before he is really accepted by the locker room, every game, every training game, needs to be fully performed.

Otherwise, the big hat of "not professional enough" will be properly pressed on the head of the person concerned and will be unscrupulously passed on by guys with ulterior motives.

"Yo, so you're ready to kill the Quartet in the next two games?"

Petit froze slightly, and when she turned her head, she was already smiling.

The effect of the provocation was surprisingly good, and the French were rarely a little overjoyed. The atmosphere was also very cooperative, except for the French gang and a few other people, there were many English people in the dressing room who were watching the show with a look on their faces, waiting for things to progress.

Only the Ljungberg beside Youmo had a somewhat ugly face.

In the eyes of the Swedes, Petit's provocation was low-level, and there was no need for-for-tat. Or ignore it, or just say, "My professional attitude has stood any test".

It is really not the work of a wise man to push himself into a dangerous path because of counter-provocations.

What's more, due to the existence of rebellious psychology, even if You Mo performs well in the next two games, everyone will not be really convinced, but will look forward to the opportunity to slap the face.

Such a thankless thing is just for a momentary refreshment, and this situation makes him a little unfamiliar with the guy next to him.

"What's the matter, the game, who doesn't want to perform better and score a few more goals."

You Mo's answer made a group of old and young masters look at each other with strange expressions.

Such a sentence obviously does not mean anything for tat, but instead states a simple fact like a normal conversation.

But the problem is that the other party provokes first, this guy counter-provokes later, and when it really comes time to bet, he decisively retreats again, what's going on?

Confessed?

"Oh, I can't believe you're so humble!" Petit made a fuss, her eyes rolling, "Please tell me, since you can't guarantee that you will definitely make a difference in the next game, why do you look down on the game in front of you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the French seemed to occupy the moral high ground, so that the guys who were usually not used to seeing what the French gang did nodded one after another, and looked at the person in their eyes a little unkindly. Anelka had already burst out laughing, and even Wiltord, who had not figured out the situation at first, could not hold back, and stood a little further away and grinned.

The look of disappointment on Ljungberg's face was even more obvious, and he was already sighing in his heart.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

"Yes, there is a penalty for looking down on any opponent." You Mo's face was still calm, listening to the sound of footsteps not far away, and he took the time to nod with the two Dutchmen who came over, and then continued: "It's a pity that there are too many opponents, and the levels are very different, no one can guarantee that they can play 100% of their strength in every game......"

Hearing such an answer, Petit quickly interrupted, and his tone was quite excited, "Don't use those false excuses to deceive the audience!" No one can be sure whether they are in 100% state, only by paying full attention to it and sparing no effort to play, can we continue to surpass ourselves! ”

Bergkamp and Overmars stopped at the same time, their brows furrowed.

The two came late, and they did not know the cause and effect of the incident, although the position at this time was very different from before, but blind support is not the style of the Dutch, and it is their consistent style to convince people with reason.

"You're absolutely right." You Mo actually smiled and applauded first, and then said in a crowd of people laughing dumbly: "Everyone thinks differently, I don't plan to convince you." However, I don't think it's appropriate to work your own in a team, and it's not appropriate to measure and blame others by your own standards. Especially when you're doing well......"

"Shut up!" Petit was visibly annoyed and interrupted again.

You Mo didn't bother in the slightest, and after being interrupted, he simply withdrew his voice, still looking at the Frenchman with a smile on his face.

Such contrasting expressions changed the one-sided situation, and the Englishmen watching from afar shook their heads at the same time, apparently bringing back bad memories of the incident before them. The two Dutchmen frowned more and more, and Ovimas was already heaving in his chest, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"You and I are direct competitors, and the performance on the field is to decide the winner, and the verbal fight is just to see who has more saliva, which is not interesting."

Eventually, You Mo shook his head, dropped a sentence, and turned to leave.

"Okay, you wait!"

The French looked. (To be continued.) )
