Chapter 57: Changing Thinking
"He's pulling people behind his back!"
Saka was a little anxious and rushed to the referee to theorize.
There are only a handful of chances that can be created in a game.
Otherwise, there would not be the phrase "you will be punished for missing opportunities".
In this case, anyone can't help but lose their temper.
The referee was calm and only signaled to the Arsenal people to stop talking.
Equation hurriedly walked and persuaded Saka: "It's okay, wait until the second half, it's time for us to play, stabilize our emotions first." ”
Saka was still a little angry, saying: "They defended at a level and I didn't have a chance on the side of the road. This opportunity to attack is really rare. ”
The equation looked at the other side and said, "How can it not be a chance, you can try to target the Bakayoko on the other side." ”
"Bakayoko?" Saka didn't get it.
The equation explains: "His run is small, wait a minute and you'll know why!" ”
After that, the game started again,
The equation quickly returned to the back position.
Saka looked at the opposing line-up with a bit of suspicion.
At this time, the first half was about to end, and Milan saw that the attack could not be played, so they slowed down the tempo.
Soon, the whistle blew for the first half and both sides returned to the dressing room.
Arsene Wenger was not annoyed by the goal down and already had ideas about how to change the situation, saying in the middle of the dressing room: "It's not over yet, the opposition can have a period of pressure but they don't last long and their substitutes don't threaten us. ”
"So in the second half, it was our turn to suppress them! Xhaka you remember to come back, you need to strengthen the team's defense, watch out for the opponent's Suso to cut inside again. Bukayo Saka and Alexandre Lacazette could remain up front. ”
"Fang, you just remember to be resolute in the front insertion, impact the opponent's back, you don't have to stay in the backfield all the time!"
Arsene Wenger is serious about this adjustment, when the opponent's fitness drops, Xhaka can naturally play the back to stabilize, and it is time to unleash the attacking ability of the equation.
And in the locker room at home,
Head coach Gattuso is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, like a fierce thug in a suit,
He ordered: "Wait a while, Arsenal will most likely free the Oriental, and Casey will specifically restrict that Oriental." Tiemoue Bakayoko, you must expand your defensive range and cause problems for your opponents! ”
Bakayoko listened, with a dark face a little hesitant, but nodded anyway.
"Then on the defensive line, you must stand still, be careful of Saka on the wing, you have to remember to help defend before the game!"
Head coach Gattuso was still not at ease, and reminded his disciples again.
......
For this match, both sides see it as an important turning point,
At halftime, there was almost no stopping to speak.
Without paying attention, the start of the second half arrived.
The players from both sides left the locker room and returned to the pitch one after another.
At this time, the entire San Siro stadium sounded a loud cheering team song,
Milan fans sang while holding up black and red team scarves, forming a solid and thick black and red wall in the stands.
The scene was spectacular and touching.
Milan is about to sink for nearly ten years, and Inter Milan in the same city is known as the "Milan Duo", and the team has been able to hold on to it until now, relying on the support of the fans for ten years.
Looking at the huge momentum of the scene, the Milan players were touched, and everyone was determined to win the game.
But
As the game began, Milan felt a little powerless,
Even if some players have not lost their physical strength, some individual players are no longer able to maintain their running intensity.
The specific performance is that Milan's midfield can no longer maintain high-intensity suppression, which makes Arsenal's short pass coordination smooth!
Equation cooperated with teammates to launch a wave of offensive,
He tried to plug the ball through and stared at the gap that hit the ribs of the opponent's penalty area.
Football narrowly missed the defensive gap between the defenders and the central defenders.
And Saka ran in place, he was already familiar with this routine, and directly kicked the ball and knocked the football to the middle.
However, Milan, as a giant team in Serie A,
They are familiar with the chain defense style of play, and the squatting defense ability is also good.
Milan's penalty area was not in disarray, with Romagnoli reaching out at the front post to keep the cross out of the line.
Arsenal were awarded a corner.
It was a good defence, with Milan's defensive team-mates all high-fiveing each other and cheering them on.
Head coach Gattuso also clapped his hands on the sidelines, pleased with his disciples' defensive attention.
This corner was kicked by Xhaka,
However, the football was kicked too high and was easily shot out by the goalkeeper in the end.
The football was then cleared off by Milan's Abate and fell to the feet of Monreal on the wing.
The ball is still on Arsenal's side,
Arsenal opted to continue trying to attack in Milan's half.
Their backline has all come to the midfield,
Football is constantly being conducted horizontally and vertically,
Intent on mobilizing Milan's defense out of chaos,
But
All of a sudden, the equation feels a little wrong.
It feels like they shouldn't choose to press and kick like this, the opponent defends well, in case they are hit with a counterattack.
And the opponent's Bakayoko showed an advantage in the squatting defense, and the interception rate was not low!
However, the equation glanced at Bakayoko again, and his heart suddenly moved, and he decided to change his mind.
This time, Saka passed the ball back from the wing to the equation a few meters outside the penalty area.
equation to do a long pass action, in fact, this is a fake fax buckle,
Casey was tricked and stretched out his leg in front of him to try to block the pass,
The equation smashed the ball, skipped Casey's defense, cut in, and then forced a leg swing and shot angrily!
Hmm-
There was a burst of voices in the audience,
Because the equation's long-range shot was high, it almost hit the stands.
"This? What does that mean? ”
The commentary is a little puzzled, "Why did the equation choose to recklessly shoot from a distance??" This is still a few meters away from the big penalty area, and the angle is not pressed, and the opposing goalkeeper has time to react!! ”
If you are a strict head coach else, I am afraid that at this time, the equation will be written down in a small book, and you must be scolded after the game for why you want to shoot in waves!
It's a complete waste of attacking opportunities!
However, manager Arsene Wenger was not angry.
Although I don't understand what the idea of the equation is,
But he was calm and still chose to believe in the equation......
Until I saw AC Milan kick the goal,
The equation suddenly rushed forward, and the pair went straight to Bakayoko,
Arsene Wenger's eyes suddenly lit up, he understood!!
The commentator also suddenly shouted excitedly, "Good steal!" ”
"The equation suddenly stepped up and grabbed the ball from Bakayoko's feet!"
"Bakayoko's procrastination with the ball at his feet is exposed!"
"It's going to fight back!"
After the equation snatched the soccer ball,
A quick pass to the nearest Saka on the right,
Immediately follow him and continue to thrust forward quickly, unstoppable!
Bakayoko was taken aback, and he didn't have time to grab the corner of the equation!
Saka receives a pass and is facing two defenders in front of him,
But he's smart, first with a ball, to attract the attention of the defenders.
And then use the rhythm of cadence,
At one end of the arch, Saka sent a curling ball to the equation before he fell to the ground hard.
The arc of the football on the turf is very bright and silky, and it bypasses the two defenders in an instant.
Bakayoko, who was guarding behind the equation, was in a hurry, and quickly slid out to intercept the pass.
However, the ball with internal spin, as if with its own navigation, the arc is full, rolling in front of the attacker.
Equation easy to take a soccer trip and enter the penalty area!
