The sudden goal woke up all Tottenham and exposed the gap between the two teams' pre-match preparations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Arsene Wenger is not a top performer in terms of on-the-spot command and targeted set-up, but he is a master when it comes to how to play the cards in his hand. Especially when the team is in good shape and the team's personnel are in good shape, everyone's offensive talent will be fully released!

In all the more professional comments before this match, Ashley Cole-Pire-Henry Corridor was considered the decisive opponent of the match, and as long as he played at the level of last season, it would be difficult for the opponent to have the strength to compete.

The result?

Arsene Wenger didn't expect his disciples to get back into the game quickly, but instead regained the right corridor that opened up the situation again and again last season, and caught the opponent off guard!

At the same time, the team's two big killers also did not operate in the areas they do best, and Henry became an opportunistic striker and no longer dropped back to get the ball frequently. Youmo is active in the midfield and backfield, giving full play to the advantages of confrontation, maintaining the team's midfield hardness to the greatest extent, so as not to repeatedly lose the ball under the opponent's rough style of play.

As a result, Tottenham's pre-match setup fell through completely, with a menacing start and a frustrated retreat after hitting the wall, ultimately failing to hold the gates.

It's a really bad feeling, and you need to make changes right away to improve the situation, so you don't get kicked all over the ground in the first place!

As a former Arsenal manager, George Graham knows what the problem is.

Everyone thinks Arsenal have a lot of problems in their squad, and this time they are away to White Hart Lane against their arch-rivals, Saul Campbell will be the goalkeeper and the key to Tottenham's victory.

Underpinned by this mentality, their players have an overly strong desire to win and tactically despise their opponents. So when the situation was unexpected, they were not mentally prepared enough, and the team formation was too open.

In this case, there is no better choice except for the iron bucket formation + foul tactics. Graham, even if he is reluctant, can only revert to the old ways, hoping for the execution ability of the players and the illusory luck.

Just as unwilling as he is is more than 30,000 Tottenham fans.

They came in high spirits, originally thinking that the team would break out with a high attitude, and the most profound lesson for Saul Campbell, who defected to his sworn enemy, is the best kind that can never hold his head up!

They did everything they could, racking their brains to sarcasm, cursing and invective, and for this they were almost exploited by their cunning opponents!

Just as they saw through their opponents' tricks and talked about them, a basin of cold water came down and woke them up, making them unhappy. Even the most ardent fans can't muster the energy to ridicule their opponents, hoping that the players will be able to recover quickly and quickly.

As a result, I didn't expect to retreat......

Could there be a more disappointing performance?

Tottenham fans with high spirits can't accept the reality and shake their heads, but there are also guys who watch the game just to vent, and they are very interested in the frequent people on the field, and they are still excited to watch, as if they can teach the opponent a lesson in this way, and it doesn't matter what the score is.

But when the second goal came, the guy who hated Saul Campbell in their hearts appeared like a ghost in the penalty area, and made Bergkamp's long-range shot into the goal with a light cushion, everyone couldn't help but curse!

actually turned a big drama into a piece of, unforgivable!

So just after halfway through the first half, the boos rang out again, and if you listened carefully, many of them were given to their manager, George Graham.

As Arsenal's meritorious manager, although the ending is regrettable, this staunch supporter of 1-0 doctrine does have two brushes, and a mid-table team like Tottenham should be at ease.

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, and the more desperate you want to win, the farther away you are from victory.

Arsenal's goal seems ordinary, but the tactical changes contained in it once again exceed the opponent's tactical arrangement, and the presence of free men makes the bucket formation less solid!

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur is in an awkward position, even in a derby, they can only put the victory aside and focus on every minute and every second in front of them.

The boos of the fans made them feel ashamed and courageous, and the idea that "the opponent is very weak and can grab the ball with a light touch" was thrown out of the clouds, and the scene was much smoother.

It was that attitude that put the game back on track and showed everyone how terrible this Arsenal team can be on the pitch.

Fight technology, the good players in the team grab a lot of handful; Fighting for the body, the presence of Youmo and Vieira makes the team tough and tough; Fighting tactics, Wenger's concept is much higher than his Premier League peers!

This kind of team with no obvious shortcomings as long as the personnel are neat and the locker room atmosphere is good, and it is indeed sorry for the audience if they don't win the championship.

Of course, there is no team without weaknesses, especially a team like Arsenal that is more than gorgeous and not disciplined enough, and it is an old problem that it is easy to waste after taking the lead, and becoming the new European champion has amplified this problem, but the first few games were played hard, and there was no chance to wave.

So after taking an early 2:0 lead, the scene seemed lively, but in fact, the situation had been erased by the gap brought by the mentality of the two sides, and the score also stagnated until the end of the first half.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur had a chance to counterattack, and the continuous wonderful cooperation crossed the barrier set up by Youmo and Vieira in the midfield, and directly faced the defense of only three people in the Arsenal backfield!

Just as all the fans stood up and shouted excitedly, a red figure stabbed out obliquely, killing all expectations!

Saul Campbell!

The former Tottenham captain has been away from the team for less than three months, and his familiarity with his teammates allowed him to make accurate judgments at the first time, appearing at key points and cutting off all threats!

So when his figure appeared on the trajectory of the ball, successfully broke the ball and launched a direct attack, the entire White Hart Lane stadium fell into a deathly silence.

The grief is greater than the death of the heart, and the score of 0:2 makes them see no hope. So much so that the guy who cursed for more than an hour couldn't get them interested.

Watching Arsenal's mercury-like offensive unfold, they shook their heads one after another, and the thought of breaking the jar arose.

0：3？

No!

After Arsenal made it through midfield, Thierry Henry was given a one-on-one heads-up. In the case of breaking through to win a single knife, the Frenchman's purpose was too obvious, and his mentality was not stable, he did not choose to pass when the breakthrough was blocked, and only after he failed to get rid of it after turning in a row did he knock back with his heel, thinking that there would be teammates behind him.

Unexpectedly, because Ashley Cole had waited too long, someone in front of him was already blocking the receiving route!

So Arsenal's quick counterattack not only failed to score, but gave the opponent a golden opportunity!

The Tottenham players who couldn't return to the defense in time quickly pulled away and played well in a 3-on-3 situation, and when the ball hit the middle after continuous cooperation, Kolo Toure was left behind by the opponent!

Subconsciously stretch out his foot to block, and the opponent immediately exaggeratedly pounces forward!

The sharp whistle sounded, which quickly ignited the entire stadium, and then the red card was shown to add fuel to the fire, and the screams were deafening!

……

Silence, an embarrassing silence enveloped the entire team, and all the Arsenal players stood dumbfounded, not saying a word.

What to say?

Kolo Toure is clearly the culprit, with Thierry Henry's passing errors being the culprit. But there is such a thing as mistakes, let alone strikers who are committed to scoring goals.

If we have to get to the bottom of it, the previous infighting of the French is an important reason that can be explained. Just saying it doesn't help, it's easy to make a big fuss and make a mess of the dressing room atmosphere that has returned to normal.

Never mind......

Go ahead, you're still ahead.

"See you again!"

After the start of the off-duty game, Arsenal did not make any personnel changes, and Youmo took the initiative to retreat and formed a central defensive partnership with Campbell.

There has been a precedent for this practice before, and it is not surprising that it is being offered now. Considering that the team with three wins and three draws has already been left four points behind at the top of the table, this game cannot be seen by any way except for three points.

After all, Tottenham, who once led by two goals and seemed to regard Arsenal as the object of revenge, is Tottenham, if the good situation is buried in careless mistakes, you can imagine what kind of public opinion pressure will be after the game!

What's more, after this game, You Mo will be out for more than a month, and the situation is really not optimistic.

In fact, there is no suitable immediate combat power to make substitutions, and the defensive players sitting on the bench are too old and in unsatisfactory condition. If Bergkamp, who has performed well, is replaced and Grimandi and Vieira form a back two, the defensive level may be more solid, and the attacking threat will be much lower.

Replacing Henry?

It's even more impossible!

Arsene Wenger would never use this tactic as a punishment, and Thierry Henry scored in the first half, and the ability to play alone is what the team needs at the moment.

"yes, meet again."

Campbell's answer was a little unnutritious, and his face was relatively calm.

"How do you feel about being robbed of the show?" Youmo is the same, but the conversation is a little stronger.

He won't dwell on the mistakes of his teammates that could bury his efforts, and he won't worry about the distant goal of winning the league title. For him, it's not fun to win too easily, the situation in front of him is the real challenge!

Derby, isn't there a lot of condiment without a red card?

"Thank you, I can probably understand why Arsenal have been able to do miracles so often." Campbell shook his head, and his face became calmer when he saw the gaze of the guy next to him.

"Perhaps, but you see, we're far from working a miracle." You Mo smiled, withdrew his gaze, and looked straight ahead.

The goal is far away, the sun is dazzling, and you need to squint your eyes to see clearly.

The voices around him were not without excitement.

"Yes, that's right, it's still far away!"

……

The second half kicked off in a high-pitched atmosphere, with Tottenham fans singing and dancing and taunting as if the score had been rewritten and a reversal was a sure thing.

They are indeed much more confident than they were at the beginning.

The derby could not be decided according to the strength of the cards of both sides, and the tense game was full of all kinds of accidents, and the excitement was stimulated by hormones. As the game time slips away quickly, the physical fitness of the two sides will decline rapidly, the difference in strength will be quickly erased, and willpower will become the key to determining the outcome of the game!

Arsenal are not highly rated in this regard, and even though Youmo has improved a lot with the arrival of Youmo, there is a tendency to recur after the team's impressive achievements.

Since Bergkamp and Henry have little defensive ability, and Youmo can't run all over the field to maintain the team's confrontation ability, so in the second half of the game, the Tottenham players established a situation advantage through numerical advantages, suppressed the opponent through methodical offensive and defensive performances, and firmly controlled the situation!

Arsene Wenger's wishful thinking has come to naught.

George Graham may not have the ability to take the helm in a big club, but he has the best defensive skills to do, and it was this man who gave Arsenal the back five the credit for winning the double.

This situation in front of you seems to be a big advantage, but in fact, there is a hidden edge, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to be quickly counterattacked and beaten into a sieve under the firepower of the golden combination of Henry and Bergkamp!

Graham obviously expected it, although the score was behind, but he was not in a hurry to attack, but played steadily, gradually establishing a physical advantage, and betting on the outcome of the game in the end!

In this case, Arsenal had scruples about attacking, and they were unwilling to defend, and as time passed, their physical strength declined rapidly, and the situation became more and more difficult.

Sixty-five minutes later, Arsene Wenger's substitution came, but the Frenchman could only look anxious in the stands due to being ticketed.

In fact, he can command remotely through voice devices, but he is reluctant to do so and chooses to trust the assistant.

Balder was the first time the eldest girl was on the sedan chair, and at this time she was a little undecided, and the substitution was delayed.

Seeing that the opponent was firmly in control of the ball, Henry fell into a state of idleness in the front court, and the anger gradually ignited.

Like his mentor, he was a perfectionist in the true sense of the word, and was given the privilege of not being involved in the defense. Remaining disgruntled with Patrick Vieira and feeling that his compatriot was just bowing his head under pressure, he was emotionally unstable and did not live up to expectations in this game.

At this time, he couldn't get support from behind, and he couldn't stay in the front court and wait for the opportunity, so he did something he was not good at.

The results are naturally lackluster.

In the 68th minute of the game, Tottenham continued to besiege and poured back and forth outside the Arsenal penalty area. Henry chased deeper and deeper, and his emotions became more and more impatient, and finally received a yellow card for excessive action, and gave the opponent a direct free kick in a good position!

Helping instead of digging a hole, this kind of thing is beyond the scope of perfectionists, so when the whistle blew and the yellow card was revealed, an uncontrollable anger surged up, and Henry suddenly burst into a rage, roaring and waving his fist at the referee!

Although his teammates stopped him in time, they still couldn't stop the second yellow card from lighting up, and the glaring red that followed!

Two yellows turn into one red!

9 to 11!

To add insult to injury, it's the next thing!

The free-kick opportunity in a good position was perfectly grasped by the Tottenham players, and a gorgeous arc made Lehmann whip unreachable!

2：2！

There are still 30 minutes to go!

"Now everyone is satisfied."

You Mo looked around and let out a long yawn.
