Volume 1 Chapter 443 Completely Defeat Arsenal!
"How? Is it okay? ”
Ye Qiu took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and asked the left winger Ribery.
The Frenchman nodded at Ye Qiu, "Don't worry, I can still hold on."
Ye Qiu didn't say anything more, patted Ribery on the back and motioned for him to return to the pitch, and at this time, Tottenham Hotspur made two substitutions, which obviously surprised everyone.
If it is not surprising to replace the aggressive Cavani with Leo Messi and return Van Persie to the middle of the pitch, and Messi to play on the right side to form the front three of Tottenham Hotspur, then replacing Mascherano with Modric is a very risky substitution.
After replacing Mascherano, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield lag player became Beckham, and the two players in the front field were Modric and Cesc Fabregas, all three players were attacking, and the only defensive midfielder Mascherano was taken down by Ye Qiu, which had to be said to be a very unexpected substitution
"If it's Yaya Toure on it, that's explainable, but now that Modric has been replaced, is it about strengthening the team's possession? Or will you fight back against Arsenal? Andy Gray was also a little puzzled.
Ye Qiu was standing on the sidelines, he noticed that Wenger was also looking at him, and smiled, "He should be hesitating now, right?" ”
Arsene Wenger's substitutions are actually quite mechanical, for example, he likes to make substitutions between UU and minutes, which may be a habit of his, or even a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Of course, it must be said that if everything goes well, most teams will adopt the strategy of substitution during this period, because there is still about half an hour before the end of the game, and it can also give the substitutes better room to play, so there is actually no big problem with this substitution period.
But Ye Qiu deliberately changed people around 55 minutes, and replaced two in one go, making it clear that he wanted to play the time difference.
Sure enough, with Ye Qiu's substitution, Wenger began to wait and see again, because the opponent had just finished changing, he had to observe the situation and see the situation clearly before making a substitution, right? Especially considering that one of Ye Qiu's substitutions was still unexpected, he had to see it clearly, otherwise, a rash substitution might backfire
It should be said that this is the fixed thinking of most people, after all, there are only three substitutions, and football is different from basketball, many times substitutions may not be able to work all at once, so the head coach does not need to follow the changes of the opponent and change.
What Wenger didn't expect was that just after the substitution, Tottenham Hotspur gave up the previous destructive style of play and switched to a more aggressive press-up style of play, directly pressing the defense forward and forcing Arsenal to launch a round of attack.
Less than two minutes after coming on the pitch, Messi retreated on the right side to respond, and Cesc Fabregas passed a precise through ball to the feet of Messi on the right side, and at this time Messi was next to Hleb who was returning to the defense, and in front of him was left-back Klich.
This is also Wenger's adjustment, Klich already has a yellow card, Ye Qiu replaced Messi, obviously to strengthen the team's attack on the right side, so Wenger let Hleb retreat to help Klich share the pressure.
Messi took the ball and took it forward, Hleb followed the defense, the Argentine made a fake move to cut inside, and deceived Hleb to follow, but the Argentine did not make any action and continued to dribble forward.
Seeing that the distance between himself and Klich was getting closer and closer, and he was deceived by Messi just now, Hleb was a little angry in his heart, and immediately chose to get close, and Messi took the ball to his right side after Hleb got close, and the person quickly pulled it to the right side, and opened a distance with Hlebra, but immediately accelerated to catch up.
Messi's acceleration did not let the ball out of his control, and at the same time made himself face Clich, and just when the French left-back thought he would continue to go down, Messi suddenly made a sharp stop and buckled the ball to his left side, and the whole person also changed from the original fast sprint to the bottom to suddenly change to cut in.
Relying on his small size, flexible body, and easy to change the center of gravity, Messi was stuck in the middle of Hleb and Klich, and cut the ball horizontally against the line at the front of the big penalty area, and at this time, whether it was Hleb or Klich, they obviously did not dare to foul Messi, especially Klich.
Messi's dribbling speed was fast, but Flamini's interception was also very fast, and seeing that it was about to form a triangle, Messi suddenly hit a curling shot with his left foot, straight to the top left corner of the goal.
That's the advantage of a winger cutting in with a backfoot, the defender can't stop you from hitting the goal at all, unless he's standing taller than you, but if he's up front of you, you can make a stop, get rid of him and go into the box.
Messi's curling ball is of very high quality, but in the end, it was a sudden kick outside the big penalty area, the arc was there, and the angle was there, but Almunia quickly flew to save the ball, because the force was weak and the speed was slow.
Although the ball did not score, Messi's sudden kick after successive passes on the right side, a series of beautiful performances still won the cheers and appreciation of the fans of the entire White Hart Lane stadium, the drums shook the sky, and everyone chanted Messi's name.
"The quality of this shot is very high, and it came very suddenly," Andy Gray also exclaimed, "We can see that after Messi came on the field, he had a strong desire to play, because he participated in the Copa America, his performance this season has not been very good, and his position has been challenged, especially from Arshavin." ”
"But now we should see that Ye Qiu still trusts Messi more at such a critical moment, and it depends on whether Messi can open up the situation for Tottenham Hotspur after he comes on the field."
When I saw Messi gasping and walking back, Van Persie behind him caught up, and the two seemed to be talking about something, while Messi nodded to Van Persie.
Because it was Almunia who blocked the ball, it was a corner kick from Tottenham Hotspur, but Beckham's corner kick did not create a threat, Adebayo headed the ball, and after Tottenham Hotspur got the ball in the midfield, he quickly passed it back to the central defender, ready to reorganize, and played without impatience at all.
With Tottenham Hotspur's return pass, Arsenal's overall formation began to press up again, obviously to continue to adopt a pressing tactic against Tottenham Hotspur, using this pressing tactic to relieve the pressure on the backline.
There is a saying in football that offense is the best way to defend
This may not be the case, it depends, but the offense must be the most effective means to relieve the pressure on the defense.
Therefore, when Tottenham Hotspur attacked, the pressure on the back line was reduced a lot, Thiago Silva, Hangrande and Beckham took the ball in the back, and when Arsenal pressed up to press, they immediately passed the ball to Vargas on the left, who dribbled forward and stabbed Modric who was holding the ball on his back.
Modric turned his back to Arteta, and after taking the ball, he skillfully turned to get rid of Arteta's defense, and at this time Van Persie suddenly ran back from the front to the midfield to respond, if the game is suspended at this time, everyone can see that Arteta and Fabregas and Van Persie are exactly a triangle position, Modric has two options, and this does not need vision at all, and he turned around and saw two teammates with white figures directly.
There is no doubt that Modric chose to give Van Persie.
But Van Persie seemed to feel there was no chance behind him, so he knocked back to Cesc Fabregas, and he turned and ran diagonally to the right of Lu, taking a defender with him and leaving the middle open.
Cesc Fabregas immediately distributed the ball to the right and handed it to Alves, while Messi quickly headed down the middle.
Alves took the ball back and forth, immediately distributed the ball to the middle, Messi stopped the ball, picked forward, he quickly shook off Flamini who defended him, and Van Persie stood in the position, grabbed before Gallas, and the header was knocked back to Messi who was inserted behind, Messi stopped the ball on his chest, and when the ball landed, he was about to shoot when he just stepped into the penalty area.
This action scared Kolo Toure to quickly come forward to block, but who would have thought that Messi's shot did not come out, and the Argentine gently sent the ball to the middle with his left foot, and saw that Ribery did not know when he hit the middle from the left side, and he pumped his right foot against Messi's incoming ball
"Dangerous, Messi hits the goal" Andy Gray was also deceived by Messi's feints, "Oops, feints, Ribery, the ball is in my God, Tottenham Hotspur has a very beautiful team combination, Ribery broke through Arsenal's goal again in the Ul minute, a shot from the top of the arc of the penalty area, l"
Andy Gray's shouts were completely drowned out by the cheers of all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in attendance
More than 30,000 players rushed out of their seats in unison, shouting Ribery's name in unison, and after more than half an hour of dreary work, they finally completed a comeback
"Very, very beautiful, Tottenham Hotspur played a succession on the right side in a row" Andy Gray and all the fans in front of the TV are reliving this part of the cooperation just now, especially when Messi picks the ball to Van Persie, and Van Persie directly heads back to Messi who is inserted in the back, the whole process is just right, as smooth as flowing water, very pleasing to the eye.
"We can see that after Messi came on the pitch, Tottenham Hotspur's attack was completely activated"
Arsene Wenger on the sidelines was obviously unaware of the goal conceded, and he was worried that after Messi came on the pitch, Tottenham Hotspur's attack should be played on the right side, and in fact, his fears were fulfilled, which was to use the attack on the right side to attract defensive pressure and create opportunities for Ribery's cut.
Tottenham Hotspur's attacking combination up front is too individual and the players work well with each other, and more importantly, they are a headache when they switch positions with each other.
Whether it's Robin van Persie, Franck Ribery or Lionel Messi, their left and right foot abilities are excellent, and such players, combined with skilful cross-position movements, make them a threat wherever they go up front, and for defenders, it can be a nightmare to encounter such players.
And Arsene Wenger can clearly feel that the player's fitness is dying.
The consumption at the beginning of the first half and the second half made the physical energy of the Arsenal players have been seriously depleted, which was also expected by Wenger before the game, after all, it is common sense to adopt such a tactic and excessive physical consumption, but he never thought that Ye Qiu would adopt this kind of attrition war with him.
If judging from this game, Arsenal is indeed unfavorable, but Tottenham Hotspur is going to play the Champions League in midweek, doesn't he want the Champions League?
Just as Arsene Wenger pondered how to make a substitution, Tottenham Hotspur threatened again.
Messi took the ball on the right side and attracted the attention of the defenders, Alves plugged in, and after winning the ball, he gave it to the middle to run out of space, and the unguarded Fabregas, the Spaniard directly kicked the ball
"Pretty" Andy Gray's eyes were a little overwhelmed, and he saw Cesc Fabregas with a straight kick, accurately penetrating the Arsenal defence, and giving it to the feet of Van Persie, who turned around in the box, but the Dutch striker was stuck on the left side by Gallas after winning the ball, and his left foot could not hit the goal at all.
After Van Persie got rid of Gallas, he knew that his left foot had been blocked, and directly used his right foot to whip the ball.
This kick is a low flat ball, very fast, almost against the turf, and the distance is in the range that Almunia does not dare to attack, the angle is taken from the left post, and it is a kick that can be said to be both a goal and a pass.
And just as everyone was on the shot, it was Ribery who shook off Sagna and Kolo Toure and slotted the ball into the Arsenal goal with his left foot in front of the left-hand post
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”
"It's Frank Ribery again, Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in less than three minutes"
The French Scarface quickly rushed out of the Arsenal penalty area and rushed under the Tottenham Hotspur fan stands, waving his arms constantly to cheer up the Tottenham fans in the stadium seats, while his teammates rushed out of the stadium one by one and hugged him closely.
"Cesc Fabregas's through ball is really good," Andy Gray exclaimed, "It's almost the only line, the only gap, but he just passed the ball straight out, we can only say, in the words of the media, it's a scalpel-like fine pass"
"And let's look at Van Persie again, his stop is also very coincidental, after stopping, the ball does not stop at his feet, but slows down the ball, and he hits the goal with his right foot directly before and after, which should be a kick on the goal, but if it is not for Ribery to kill halfway, maybe this goal may not go in"
'It's been fantastic, Tottenham Hotspur have put up an amazing attack'
Arsene Wenger could not have imagined that in less than ten minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's attack was completely lively, so he immediately made a substitution, replacing Arteta with Alexander Song, but at the same time replacing Walcott, who was almost invisible in the game, with Bendtner.
At this time, Arsenal's front line was immediately piled up with two towers, and Wenger was clearly looking to strengthen the team's attacking strength.
Ye Qiu did not make substitutions, but asked the players to continue to strengthen the wing attack, in front of Ribery, Van Persie and Messi withstand, Arsenal did not dare to rush up this time, after all, there are two players in the midfield, Modric and Fabregas, the ability to play the ball has been consolidated, and at the same time, the pressure on Beckham has been diluted, so that he has the opportunity to play.
In the 77th minute, it was Beckham's long ball from the back, and Ribery rushed to the front alone, fighting with Sagna on the left side and sprinting forward.
Seeing the scene of Scarface gritting his teeth and sprinting, all the fans in the entire White Hart Lane stadium couldn't help but get up from their seats.
Eventually, Ribery used his pace to get ahead of Sagna and lifted his foot high to offload Beckham's long ball.
The ball touched his foot and bounced towards his body, and as soon as he stopped on the chest, the ball was controlled by him, and he himself made a feint to make a sudden stop and change direction, tricking Sania into following a sharp stop, but the Frenchman suddenly kicked the ball forward hard, and then accelerated to catch up.
Saunia just stopped suddenly, and wanted to catch up, the whole person lost his center of gravity, and was directly shaken by Ribery on the turf, watching Ribery rush to the penalty area, after stopping the ball, facing Almunia who hesitated to attack, directly hit the goal with his left foot, and the ball passed through the gap between Almunia's right side and the post.
"Great goal"
Andy Gray hissed and shouted to the cheers of all the Tottenham fans in the stadium.
After Ribery finished shooting, he quickly rushed to the goal, jumped over Almunia who fell to the ground, hugged the ball tightly from the goal line, hid it in his own shirt, looked like a pot-bellied woman who was ten months pregnant, and then rushed to the sidelines, forgetting to slide on the grass, spreading his arms, leaning back, and laughing loudly.
"Hat-trick: this is the first hat-trick of Ribery's career"
'A pinpoint long ball from David Beckham, Tottenham's counter-attack was very threatening, and Arsenal clearly ignored that there was a precise long ball in the opposition's squad and they paid the price for their poor defence'
"The situation turned around, no one thought that after the start of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur replaced two players in one go, but completely activated the team's attack, Arsenal's players obviously because of the previous high-intensity confrontation caused by excessive physical consumption, and now they are a little unable to keep up with the pace of Tottenham Hotspur."
After celebrating with his teammates, Ribery ran to the home team's coach's box with a smile, in addition to handing over the ball he was going to collect to the coaching staff for temporary safekeeping, he also did not forget to hug his most respected head coach.
"I believe that at this moment, Ye Qiu should be saying to Ribery in his ear, I am proud of you and something like that, because Ribery's performance in the second half of this game is absolutely unforgettable, he scored a hat trick in just over thirty minutes, which is indeed too surprising"
But in fact, Ye Qiu didn't tell him that I am proud of you, but told him that it was not enough, you could be better, and told them that we must continue to strengthen the attack and completely defeat Arsenal
