Allardyce thought for a moment, then called Rooney, the captain, to his side.

"Wayne, tell your team to pay more attention to that Chinese."

"Good coach." Rooney ran back into the field.

"Let that Schneiderlin guy warm up and get ready for a substitution."

"I see." Koeman nodded, beckoning Schneiderlin to interact in the warm-up area, and at the same time beckoned several other team members to come over.

"How are you going to change it?" Turning back, Coman asked.

'If you can't score for 70 minutes, I think you need to take off a defender. Allardyce said.

"All-out attack?"

"That's right."

They will have to fight for that point in this game, and in their next game away to Stoke City, Paul Lambert's side have been in good form of late, picking up 10 points from several opponents and surpassing Everton in points, which has put pressure on Sam Allardyce.

If this game can't be scored, then they will have to bite into Stoke City. But this one is hard.

Stoke City is nicknamed "City in the Sky", and they have a lot of tall players on their squad. Of course, there is no shortage of short, concise and powerful wingers like Shaqiri.

"Coach, if that's the case, the plan for the next game is ....." Coman said again.

'Focus on the game, every point counts.'

'Mesut Ozil's beautiful cross was accurate for Aubameyang! Oh, that's a pity...."Martin Taylor's raised hands immediately lowered again, and he was a little disappointed that he had missed this opportunity.

Arsenal played a beautiful combination up front, and the successive passes of Sun Xiang and Xhaka and Wilshere in the middle made Everton's pressing invalid, at which time Sun Xiang suddenly moved the ball to the right, Ozil shook off Keane's defense and crossed with his left foot, and the ball found Aubameyang at the back of the penalty area. It's a pity that the Gabonese striker's header was just a fraction of a goal away.

'If it continues, Martin, I'm sure Everton will concede again.'

"That's right." Martin Taylor nodded, agreeing with Alan Smith's words. For more than ten minutes, Arsenal has been in charge of the game.

'Allardyce needs to make a substitution. He said.

Soon, there was a guy in a blue match uniform on the sidelines ready to play, he was Schneiderlin, who had been called to warm up earlier.

The France international came to England in 2008 at the age of 19. After four years with Southampton in the Championship, the team finally qualified for promotion to the Premier League, and he himself has been followed by a number of clubs.

Finally, the Reds acquired the talented French midfielder in the summer of 2015, and he won the FA Cup in his first year wearing the red shirt.

A year later, in the winter window of 2017, the French came to "Toffee" for £20 million in search of a new adventure.

He has also established himself at Everton with his defensive consistency and wide range of midfield movements.

In the 74th minute, Schneiderlin came on and replaced Martina.

Swapping a defensive midfielder for a defender is an attempt to give it a go?

"What's going on with this substitution? Isn't it necessary to prepare for defense? Martin Taylor wondered. In his opinion, the team's defense is passive and should replace an attacking player up front. It is more practical to abandon part of the attack to strengthen the defense, and then take advantage of the wet and slippery ground in the rain to shoot from a distance.

But what is it about Sam Allardyce's obvious attacking approach?

"Maybe he thinks that the best defense is the offense." Alan Smith explained.

After the removal of Martina, Everton switched to a back three, which made Everton fans even more panicked after being beaten passively.

Fortunately, Schneiderlin's defense was still solid, blocking Arsenal's last four passes in the first five minutes.

At the same time, the combined defense of him and Davis decompressed Rooney, allowing Rooney to focus more on offense.

※※※

"Tom, keep up with the Chinese!" He shouted in defense and then desperately chased back.

Sun Xiang had just used an unconventional and ungraceful non-technical move to get past him.

In fact, Sun Xiang himself didn't expect that he was going to stop the ball, but his feet suddenly slipped and staggered, which frightened Schneiderlin behind him to take half a step back, and raised his hand to signal that he hadn't touched him.

Referee Oliver saw it clearly and he motioned for the game to continue.

Sun Xiang protected the ball with a half-leaning motion, like a hen protecting her eggs, and almost lay on the ball.

He tried to get up quickly, but he didn't expect to slip with too much force, and his heel happened to touch the ball.

At this time, Schneiderlin, who came up, would have thought that Sun Xiang had played such a hand, so he didn't even have a little defense against the ball slipping away from him.

Sun Xiang felt as if his foot had touched the ball, so he used his hand as a fulcrum to support the ground, and at the same time the sneaker stepped on the ground fiercely. Fortunately, this time it was finally stepped on.

The core muscles drove the force, just like laughing at the start of the 100-meter athlete, and ran out all at once. Schneiderlin was left alone in a panic.

"Stop him! Damn it! He scolded as he returned to Schneiderlin. This is the first time he's seen this person.

On the contrary, Sun Xiang was ridiculous in his heart, thinking that sneakers would be the biggest obstacle in the second half, but he didn't expect to help himself in the end.

Immediately, Sun Xiang was level with Everton's backline.

Faced with a backline of only three men, Sun Xiang opted for a more secure pass. Because although the slippery soles of his feet just now made him taste the sweetness, "how can I walk by the river without getting my shoes wet", maybe the next time I change direction, I will fall.

Mesut Ozil came from the flank to the middle to win the ball, then watched it and got the ball from a 45-degree angle.

Once again, the ball found Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the back post, and this time he didn't waste Mesut Ozil's pass and headed it into the far corner against an in-form Pickford.

"Hahaha, who would have thought! Sun looked a bit acrobatic and got a goal, and I think he's a good fit for that kind of job in the future! Martin Taylor laughed.

The goal came just in time, not too soon, not too late, and the clock had just reached 80 minutes.

"It's not going to be easy for Allardyce right now, he has to reflect on his substitutions."

'If Martina had been on the pitch, maybe Sun's dribble wouldn't have been successful and maybe Mesut Ozil wouldn't have passed the ball so easily. Alan Smith said, "But from the look on his face now, you can tell that he is depressed." ”

Sam Allardyce frowned on the sidelines, and the rain from London dripped down his big nose on the lawn next to the Emirates Stadium.

He was angry and helpless, and as Alan Smith said, it all had to do with his substitution.

He needs a win, or even a draw, so Schneiderlin's substitution and pushing the defensive range to the front court can be regarded as making the attack faster. In fact, Schneiderlin did a good job, he completed the task very well, but Sun Xiang's excellence was too accidental.

But then the problem was also revealed, if the opponent passed Schneiderlin, then they would only face three defenders, which is a simple matter for Arsenal, who have excellent attacking firepower.

This conceded goal, and it is precisely because of this.

After conceding two goals away from home, it's still ten minutes and they can't afford to expect anything else.

※※※

Ten minutes passed and Oliver blew the whistle for the end of the game, which ended in a game with no stoppage time in which Everton lost 2-0 to Arsenal.

Mesut Ozil was named Man of the Match and his pass and shot helped his side secure the precious three points on the title race.
