Chapter 176: Midfield Adjustment
"Nice, pretty! Arsenal's combination is really picturesque! ”
"In five seconds, Arsenal made a seven-foot pass, which is terrible, and Arsenal from last season are back!"
"It's such a group of geniuses, playing with teammates like this, it's a kind of enjoyment, like flowing water, there is no turning back when you encounter obstacles, but it flows naturally, it's really a beautiful football!"
"Sharp, this is the level that Wenger's disciples should have, the attack between the marches, the football between the marches, the passing between the marches, the penetration of Arsenal like a fish, is back."
…
With the appearance of this goal, the commentators in the major live broadcast rooms praised one after another, cheering for the appearance of this goal.
"Phew, Arsene Wenger's football is really beautiful, it gives it a lively feeling, and the Arsenal players have done a really good job on those walls.
I think Arsenal like this is enough to conquer the hearts of all the fans. ”
Lineker shook his head repeatedly, and the goal also touched the heart of the Tottenham legend, who applauded the goal.
As for Mortenson, he wisely just nodded, not saying more.
In fact, people who are interested have already noticed that after the appearance of the king's theory, Mortensen consciously did not mention Xiang Hao more and said less Arsenal's commentary, and Lineker also tacitly took on these tasks.
Two people became, Tottenham celebrities said Arsenal, and half of Arsenal fans said Tottenham, upside down.
With their professionalism, there is no deliberate smearing of jokes.
However, although it is inconvenient to talk about Arsenal again, the hand that the old man Mortensen put under him is not so quiet, holding it tightly, and shaking it twice, suppressed excitement.
Compared to Mortensen's depression, Arsenal fans are a little unbearable.
"Arsenal ~ Unstoppable!"
"Arsenal ~ Unstoppable!"
"Arsenal ~ Unstoppable !!"
…
The cheers like singing sounded in this 'handful' red and white procession, resounding throughout White Hart Lane.
"Shhh
And for all this, the disappointed and resentful Tottenham fans responded with huge boos, and they would not be happy to see their sworn enemies celebrating on their own turf.
The more beautiful the goal, in their eyes, the more hateful it is now, the background emperor, who he Mader wants!
So the louder the Arsenal fans cheered, the higher their boos became, and in the end, there was only one voice left in the entire White Hart Alley, a catharsis of disdain and provocation for the Arsenal players.
"This is White Hart Lane, this is the North London Derby, a hundred years of grievances, at this moment have all turned into endless boos, making people feel suffocated.
So it's not surprising that the more exciting the goal, the more the Tottenham fans react, but I don't know if our Xiang Ba can adapt to the atmosphere of the game, you know, this is his first north London derby. ”
As a Chinese commentator of ESPN, Zhan County saw such a restless White Deer Alley, as if it was burning, and couldn't help but care about his favorite players.
"How, the louder you scream, the more frightened you are."
Standing on the scene, his ears were filled with thunderous noises, but Xiang Hao smiled proudly.
He likes the feeling, the moment when the fans go crazy, whether it's his own fans or the fans of the other side.
The greater the resistance of the opposing fans, the more necessary Xiang Hao felt that it was necessary to suppress it.
On the court, Xiang Hao has a strong desire to conquer in his bones.
"Guys, this is just the beginning, our goal is to win, there are still a few minutes left in the first half, we can't miss our chances!"
Turning back to the team, Xiang Hao immediately mobilized his little friends.
Although the captain's armband is worn on Toure's body, Toure seems to be very quiet during this time, and he doesn't like to talk about anything.
And Van Persie's slightly arrogant temperament now is not liked by most of the team in the team.
Xiang Hao, who is more extroverted, is undoubtedly the person who can mobilize the players the most on the field, although Nasri and Klich are not close to Xiang Hao, but Xiang Hao's ability and leadership on the field, they have no doubts.
So Xiang Hao said this now, the other Arsenal players did not feel tired, and they all nodded solemnly and accepted Xiang Hao's 'mobilization order'.
The momentum is condensed, waiting for the next outbreak.
Arsene Wenger is very satisfied with the current state of his team, not only to score the iconic goal, but more importantly, to see their spirit in this game.
A decisive mentality, which is what Wenger wants most to get.
This is the derby, the most violent matchup for the players.
Arsene Wenger smiled and couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling a sense of pride for his team.
"Luka, next, you have to be in charge of the ball, follow the rhythm of the previous game, do you understand?"
Taking advantage of the Arsenal players celebrating the goal, Lao Lei beckoned Modric, Jenas and others over, and handed the flag to the Croatian side again.
Luka Modric nodded and the rest of Tottenham had no objections, quite simply, they also wanted to go back to the first twenty minutes of the first half.
Men with backgrounds who have become mortal enemies, they are not reconciled, especially their home field, since they can lead you once, they can lead you a second time.
So they quickly picked up their spirits from the loss, rebuilt their fighting spirit, and continued to compete in this game.
And Lao Lei's words are naturally followed, from the unquestioning gaze of their head coach, they have already seen Lao Lei's dissatisfaction with his lack of tactical arrangement.
"Toot!"
With a whistle from Bol, the game continued.
As soon as Tottenham kicked off, Pavlyuchenko sent the ball to the back and handed it to Modric.
And Van Persie, Walcott, and Vela were also forced into the opponent's half at the first time.
The players of both sides quickly fought together, and the game entered the scorch again.
At this time, the players of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur found that the game was more difficult to play, because the strength of the other party seemed to suddenly become stronger, and suddenly weaker.
Let go of the game, anyone can effectively organize their own attack, and they are all quite threatening, but everyone is short of the last shot.
On a half-time tackle, Modric sent a ball from behind him 20 metres to find Bentley with precision, but the latter's shot into the far corner slid past him.
On this side, Xiang Hao and Van Persie jointly staged a rainbow ball again, but this time, Van Persie's step point was not adjusted well, and he rashly got up and was magically blocked by goalkeeper Gomez with his foot.
There were plenty of dangerous chances, but unfortunately, both Pavlyuchenko's header and Nasri's long-range shot were deflected wide of goal.
The constant tug-of-war game not only consumes the physical strength of the players, but also time.
"Toot-"
As Denilson's volley from outside the box flew wide, Bol blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
1-1!
The first half of the first leg of the Carabao Cup ended 1-1.
Arsenal and Tottenham didn't stay too long in the pitch, one by one they rushed into the tunnel, they took time to rest, and their manager returned to the dressing room to wait for them.
'You played well in the first half and with Arsenal opening up, we still had the advantage on the pitch.
Redknapp gave a commendation as soon as he came up, and his eyes swept over the team members.
Seeing the smug smiles on the corners of their mouths, Lao Lei's face turned cold and said: "However, this is not enough, because you have not defeated them yet, and the score is still a draw, and this score is far from your performance."
Your ability determines that you must win this game!
In White Hart Lane、Here! You have to beat Arsenal! This is what everyone is looking forward to!
Defending the League Cup is our goal this year and it's the mission of every one of you today!
In the middle of the first half, you played in a way that made the first half worse than you could have been, and that's what I didn't like the most.
Think about what you did at the beginning and at the end of the first half.
Move the ball faster, get more people involved in the attack, you interact more with each other, play more reasonably, and you can overtake them on the pitch.
This is your chance to win, and you have to keep creating that opportunity and then take advantage of it.
That's how to win, and that's what I set up and ask of you for the second half.
Do you understand? ”
The tone became stern, and Lao Lei showed his own domineering in the locker room for the first time, and in the middle of the game, he was not only mobilizing, but also establishing his authority.
"Got it!!"
It was the first time Xu saw Lao Lei with a straight face, and the Tottenham players immediately answered in a loud voice.
And entering the locker room, from beginning to end, Lao Lei did not mention Modric, it is no longer necessary, what Lao Lei wants is for the players to understand for themselves, and he wants a group of players who can think.
After they understood why there was a contrast between the front, back and middle of the first half, they naturally knew how to choose.
And it's the dressing room, and if you mention Modric alone, tell them that the contrast is that you didn't get the ball to his feet.
In that way, it will make these players have a certain rebellion, and all the credit in the first half is him, and all the mistakes are ours.
As soon as such a rebellious mentality appeared, it was greatly detrimental to his own coaching, and it was not conducive to Modric's foothold here.
Lao Lei didn't want to start a dressing room fight because he entered, and make himself disgraced.
That's why he used this implicit way to arrange and mobilize.
Compared to Lao Lei, who is still in the 'polite' stage, Wenger is very straightforward.
"In the second half, Hao, you have to take more responsibility, not only to keep that number 14 to death for me, but in attack, you have to play your strength and speed advantage and attack me directly in the middle of the midfield and press them to run the whole midfield.
Samir, Denilson, you two are running around Hao, you must take back the advantage of the midfield! ”
