(Today's Update)

The level of on-the-spot command ability does not necessarily reflect the real level of a head coach, but it must reflect the psychological quality of the head coach.

How should a weaker team adjust when they fall behind a strong home team early on the road?

Under normal circumstances, there are two results, one is to press out and try to equalize as soon as possible, such a result, at home is fine, in the away field, is what many strong teams are happy to see, they have enough space to beat you into a sieve, and it is possible to set most records. The other is to stabilize the position, do not change the tactics, even if you lose in the end, it is only a small loss, and the morale of the team is not a big blow, after all, if you play a strong team away, you can lose by a small score, which is a victory.

Hornets coach Enrique Flores' choice is the latter.

He didn't change his tactics, but he still made adjustments to the goal he had just conceded, which was praised by Sky Sports' ace commentator Martin Taylor.

After conceding the goal, Flores called captain Troy Deeney and whispered to him, Deeney looked at his head in surprise, turned back to the field, and conveyed the manager's instructions to the players.

As a result, no matter where Qiansheng ran, there were always two or three players around him, and Mesut Ozil also found that Qiansheng could not catch the ball.

No matter how he passed, unless Qiansheng retreated in front of him, these two or three Watford players who stuck Qiansheng's receiving route were determined not to let Qiansheng receive the ball.

The German brain has also found that the allocation of two or three men to deal with the Hornets back has given space to Chilean winger Alex Sanchez and Danny Welbeck, who have been in great form lately.

The Germans decided to change the choice of the bread feeder, and Sanchez and Welbeck, who were running at all costs, did create a lot of gaps.

In the 15th minute, Qiansheng ran to the left side of the penalty area, Craig Cathcart, Miguel Britos and Edian Capoue surrounded him, Welbeck ran back and Hector Bellerin together to take away Nathan Ake and Mario Suarez on the left side of the defense, Sanchez shook off Ben Watson and cut diagonally into the right side of the penalty area, Ozil dodged Valan Behrami, who came forward to press, and passed with his left foot, Sanchez received the ball, shook off Sebastien Pledel who went forward, and volleyed with his right foot, and the ball went straight to the top right corner of the fan. Silva Gomez leaps forward, saves the ball with his left palm off the touchline, and when he lands, Gomez roars with a roar.

Sanchez held his head in his hands in annoyance, and his eyes narrowed, this bald goalkeeper reacted so quickly.

In the 19th minute, Ozil split the side, Sanchez won the ball on the left side, turned around, flashed Aaron Neom, crossed with his right foot, Qiansheng went straight to the middle, was caught by Cathcart and Britos and couldn't jump, Welbeck at the back point leaned on the forehead of the ball behind him, and pushed the ball to the upper left corner of the goal. Gomez leaped hard, touched the bottom of the ball with the fingertips of his right palm, and the ball flew off the crossbar.

In the 23rd minute, Welbeck passed back to Bellerin on the right side, the Spanish teenager passed a half-high ball, the ball bypassed the dry life that was tightly sandwiched by Pledel and Britos, and bounced to the left side of the goal after landing, Sanchez slapped the horse and swept with his left foot, Gomez stretched his right leg to block the ball, and Ake received the ball and immediately kicked it out.

Five minutes later, Ozil picked up a cross in the middle, Qiansheng jumped hard, rubbed the ball in front of Welbeck, Heibei slapped away the hand of Suarez, who was holding his shirt, rushed to the ball and hit the goal with his right foot, Pledel desperately stretched out his foot to block, the ball touched his calf, and bounced back to the right side of Gomez, who flew over.

Entered! Welbeck clenched his fists, but Gomez quickly turned to the right and reached out with his palm, flicked the ball off the goal line, and followed Watson to kick the ball off the touchline.

"Nice save! The 35-year-old Brazilian has been in excellent form, making several must-make saves. The stadium radio shouted loudly.

Martin Taylor and Alan Shearer in the studio looked at each other and said that the weak team goalkeeper was the goalkeeper, and now Arsenal could meet this bloody Brazilian. If it weren't for Gansheng's Inzaghi-style shot to open the scoring, I'm afraid it would not be easy to score again in the face of Gomez, who is getting better and better.

"Coach Watford made adjustments after conceding the ball, using three people to specifically mark the Qian, although the power of the Qian, without the ball, although the power is reduced, but one person attracts the defense of three people, which also reflects the importance they attach to the threat of Qian." Taylor explained.

Shearer said: "It seems that Enrique has a lot of faith in the quality of the Brazilian and clearly believes that apart from Gan, Arsenal's other players cannot threaten Gomez's door. ”

Paul Merson: "Hey, isn't it possible that no one else will shoot but Qian?" ”

Charlie Nicholas: "Arsenal are ahead anyway, so let's just shoot on goal. ”

Taylor looked at Qiansheng, who was surrounded by three people and had no chance to catch the ball, but his face still remained calm, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, this kid's psychological quality is too good, he has been stared at for a long time and has no chance to get the ball, and most of the people have long been impetuous.

"How do you open the situation? Dry. ”

Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, although three of Watford's ten defenders were pinned down by Qiansheng, and still gave Sanchez and Welbeck a lot of shots, but they were all blocked by Gomez, who opened the plug-in. After that, the Arsenal players began to be impatient, Sanchez kept jerking, Welbeck was fouled several times, Bellerin's cross began to be outrageous, and even Ozil's through ball was not allowed. What are you anxious about, we are still ahead! Arsene Wenger yelled at the pitch and made a gesture to press his hands down to calm down.

Mesut Ozil was intercepted by Capoue after a misplaced pass, and the French defender sent a long ball directly into the Arsenal half, and the captain of the Hornets Dieni received the ball and drove into the box, causing the Gunners fans in the stands to scream. Thankfully, the brilliant tackle by Lawrence Koscielny, who was chasing back, defused this dangerous counter-attack.

Francis Coquelin, who got a pass from Koscielny, was about to pass the ball to Ozil, but saw the Qiansheng who ran back and waved at him: "Francis, pass it!" ”

Seeing this scene, Wenger nodded, returned to his seat with a relaxed face and looked at the field for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Flores' pupils shrank, and he felt a cold air rise from the soles of his feet.

Seeing this scene, Taylor and Shearer looked at each other and smiled, and at the last moment at Goodison Park, Qianqian retreated to the midfield and finally scored another goal.

After receiving the ball, Qiansheng stepped on the ball under his feet, waved his hand, and shouted: "Guys, don't worry, we are ahead now." Then he looked at Flores on the sidelines, and didn't care whether the other party heard him or not, and grinned at Ozil, who had returned to him: "They can't score anyway, right, Mesut." It should be them who are in a hurry. ”

Watching Arsenal slow down the pace and pass the ball around the backfield, Flores stuck a mouthful of old blood in his throat: Okay, what about your tacit understanding of attacking and defending? You're Arsenal, not Chelsea!
