Chapter 49: Unable to Resist

Pochettino, of course, didn't know that Ye Luoke had been through a lot of battles in the system and had seen a lot.

Spain's Barcelona don't know how much higher they are than Tottenham.

Ye Luo can play more than a dozen games a day, and talk and laugh with them.

That's where his game experience comes in.

Fight at home.

There is no rush among the three key players on Arsenal's side.

The team will be able to settle down.

After this offensive.

Tottenham, for their part, also showed their attacking approach.

Sandro is an important point.

Lloris drove the ball straight to the front court.

Find Sandro.

Sandro is tall and big.

After taking the landing position, he stopped the ball with his chest and stopped the ball.

Then divide the sides.

The full-back presses.

Cash dribbled forward at high speed to the baseline and crossed.

At this time.

Sandro, Lennon and Soldado steal points in the box.

However, this time, Barnes' cross was directly recovered by Fabinho.

Corner kick!

Tottenham's attacking routine is simple.

But it's easy to execute.

There weren't many people grabbing points in the penalty area.

But the threat of Sandro and Soldado's headers from two high spots is impossible to ignore.

Therefore, Tottenham may not be without means of counter-attacking Arsenal on the road.

Especially set-pieces!

Set-pieces are a magic weapon for a weak team against a strong team.

For this.

Pochettino naturally couldn't let it go.

Although Pochettino's ambition is to build a team that can control the ball and take the initiative to attack, and play attacking football.

But an ideal is an ideal, and reality is a reality.

He knew he was looking for death against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

So I had to put my ideals aside for the time being and seek benefits first.

Soon.

The Tottenham players of Uyang entered the box.

They stand in two rows, and they can coordinate with each other.

Obviously.

Tottenham's corner tactics are well-designed.

Their strategy for this game is not only to counter-attack, but to take set-pieces!

The set-piece attack and defense can be said to have greatly flattened the gap between the skills and tactics of the two sides.

No matter how good your technique is at your feet, the ball is in the air, it still depends on your body, your strength, your impact, your head.

At this point.

Tottenham are no weaker than Arsenal. ,

Even a lot of players in their squad who are good at heading.

Dawson has set a record of eight goals scored from corners in a single season by a Premier League defender, and he is one of the best defenders in the Premier League with header ability.

Barnes' corner was at the back post, and it was Dawson.

Dawson headed home from full-back Monreal.

The soccer ball rises over the crossbar.

This attack made Pochettino on the sidelines applaud repeatedly.

It also gave Arsene Wenger a glimpse of Tottenham's main strategy for this game.

Defensively, it's an iron bucket formation.

The attack relies on counterattacks, not through the midfield, but directly in the backfield with long passes.

Play a very simple wide cross.

Catch set-pieces.

This set of tactics is actually a tactic for many weak teams to deal with strong teams.

As long as the backcourt can hold on.

This set of tactics is actually very powerful.

After all, most of the weak teams are facing strong teams.

will take this set.

The only thing that made the commentators in the commentary seat regret.

Tottenham as Arsenal's derby rivals.

actually took the initiative to put himself in such a weak position.

It's true.

It's a pity.

Otherwise.

this game.

What everyone wants to see is a fierce derby attack.

'It's rare for Tottenham to put their stance very low because it's a north London derby and Tottenham are putting themselves in a completely underdog position and their fans won't be able to accept it.

'But Pochettino is obviously pragmatic, he knows the gap between Tottenham and Arsenal, he didn't get carried away by the derby, and they played against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, they lowered their profile, strengthened their defence, grabbed counter-attacks and set-pieces! This is Tottenham's most likely chance to bring back points from the Emirates Stadium at the moment. ”

Tottenham's attack was more of a harassment.

The ball was at Arsenal's feet for most of the game.

The thirteenth minute of the game.

Arsenal instigated an attack.

Yelo and Harry Kane switch places.

Yelo faked a cross after receiving a pass on the left flank.

Wait for Tottenham's defenders to make a block.

Ye Luo suddenly took a step into the penalty area with the ball.

Direct shot from a small angle!

The net is shaking!

The cheers in the stands were already ringing.

But

When the Arsenal fans saw that the shot was only on the side-netting.

They couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.

Then.

Warm applause rang out.

Even if the goal doesn't go in.

It didn't stop it from being a very nice attack.

The opportunity that Ye Luo created with his personal ability.

Even if it doesn't score, it shows that Tottenham's iron bucket formation is not enough to completely limit Yelo's play.

And this time Ye Luo chose to come by himself, which also explains

The tentative phase is over!

Arsenal, it's time to really start attacking.

It was in the next game that the Spurs players felt the real pressure.

Arsenal's terrifying attacking prowess is starting to show.

Shortly after Yelo's shot on goal.

A minute later.

Arsenal's attack is back.

Yelo retraced.

Brought out Vertonghen.

Then the pass from the back immediately went to the feet of Yelo.

Ye Luo suddenly made a heel pass.

The ball rolled under Vertonghen's crotch.

Vertonghen comes out of the box.

There was a very brief gap in his place in the Tottenham penalty area.

It stands to reason.

Even if Ye Luo receives the ball, he passes the ball again.

There was plenty of time for the other Tottenham players to close the gap.

But.

Yelo didn't stop the ball.

It's an unexpected heel pass!

When the ball rolls under Vertonghen's crotch.

The other side.

Winger Alexis Sanchez has slashed diagonally into the box at high speed.

Shoot straight at the ball!

In the midst of the exclamations of the fans.

Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris made a brilliant save.

The football was saved by him.

Corner kick!

Tottenham's players haven't had time to catch their breath yet.

Arsenal's corner was already in the way.

Yelo pulls out from inside the box to catch the ball.

He was stunned.

Then let the ball turn around without receiving it.

All of a sudden, Tottenham's defence was thrown into disarray.

Ye Luo crossed.

Cazorla shoots directly at the penalty line!

He aimed at the bottom right corner of the ball.

The football thumped in the eyes of all the fans.

Crashed into the column.

Bounced back.

"Ahh

In the stands.

A voice of regret rang out.

The commentators have just tried to say that Tottenham are not dying.

Right now.

A red figure plugged in at high speed.

Tottenham defender Dawson picked up his right foot and prepared to clear.

Right now.

He felt a wind blow behind him.

At the same time there are also behind the stands.

I am jumping up from my seat.

Arsenal fans with arms raised.

He was shocked.

I saw it suddenly

A figure was already in front of him.

That's Arsenal's number 10!!

Ye Luo!!

Dawson fell into an ice cave.

He watched as Ye Luo poked the ball away from him.

Subsequently.

His eyes were vaguely expectant.

He wanted Yelo to poke the ball a little bigger

And then

Out of the bottom line!

After all, this is in the small forbidden area.

This is also very likely.

And then.

The next second.

The anticipation in Dawson's eyes turned to despair.

I only saw Ye Luo poke the ball away.

Before football goes out of the line.

Sweep the ball straight to the goal with your right foot!

The soccer ball enters the goal against the post.

And goalkeeper Lloris

Didn't react!!

Ball!

It's in!!

At a time when Arsenal really started to go on the offensive.

Tottenham's bucket formation.

It lasted less than five minutes.

"Cazorla shoots! What a pity! Column! The column refused, no! Ye Luo!! ”

In the midst of the narrator's chanting.

Ye Luo inserts himself into the restricted area at high speed.

After a pass.

He didn't stop.

It's about looking for a follow-up shot.

As a striker.

It's instinct!

The instinct of a striker.

Really.

He waited for his chance.

Cazorla's shot hit the post.

Ye Luo activated instantly.

With a reaction that is far faster than Dawson's.

Make the first kick to poke the ball away.

Then the shot was completed before the ball was about to go out of the line.

Ye Luo's whole body was completely suspended in the air after completing the shot.

It can be seen that the power of his shot is huge.

The ball was so fast that even goalkeeper Lloris was standing on the post on this side.

Nor did he have time to react.

The soccer ball crashed into the net behind him.

It's like a fuse.

Exploded the entire stadium.

The Emirates Stadium was completely boiling.

Boiling with it, there are also the commentators on the commentary seat.

'It's not the prettiest of Yelo's many goals, but it means a lot for Arsenal because it's a team goal and Arsenal are very mature against Tottenham's bucket formation.

'They were patiently passing the ball from the start, probing, looking for holes in the Tottenham defence and then. Fatal with one hit! ”

"Beautiful! Nice follow-up! Almost on the baseline, Yelo swept the ball into the goal!! ”

"Dawson, he's too clumsy in front of Yelllo, like a farm tractor and a Ferrari racing car competing for speed. Ye Luo poked the ball away in front of him and then completed the goal from a zero angle!! ”

At the boiling Emirates Stadium.

Pochettino's hands felt like there was nowhere to put them.

He panicked.

Really panicked.

Fifteen minutes.

Exactly.

It's five minutes.

Because in the first ten minutes, Arsenal didn't make any effort at all.

It's just five minutes.

Arsenal dismantled Tottenham's seemingly tight defence as if they were a cow.

It's not a long shot, it's not a header, it's not a free-kick.

It was a very patient front-court cooperation.

A breakthrough from the middle with a succession of passes.

Tottenham had actually surrendered when Cazorla's shot came in the end.

But the column gave Tottenham a glimmer of life.

The result?

Dawson's reaction was fast enough.

But Yello was faster than him.

After Yelo sent the ball into the goal from a tight angle.

Pochettino knew.

Tottenham want to win this game and can only pray that a miracle happens.

Arsenal's quality has left Tottenham far behind.

Not to mention this is the Emirates Stadium.

Even if it's on your home turf.

Tottenham may not have much of a chance to beat Arsenal either.

After Arsenal's goal.

Tottenham, of course, were not willing to lose like that.

They also tried to fight back.

Sandro's position started to move from midfield to centre-forward.

Top in the front court.

Tottenham tried to play long balls and use their bodies to counteract Arsenal's technical superiority.

But.

The success rate of the long pass rush is very low.

If only Tottenham could have more attacking opportunities.

But most of the possession is now in Arsenal's hands.

Therefore, Tottenham's sporadic attacks are all in the form of long passes in the back field to find the front.

The more likely is to lose possession.

It's just a waste of their attacking opportunities.

And as the game time progresses.

Arsenal's offensive is also becoming more and more intense.

All of a sudden.

There was a lot of noise in Tottenham's penalty area.

So.

Second goal.

And that's it.

Twenty-eighth minute of the game.

It's still Ye Luo.

He pulled out to catch the ball and made a pass feint.

At the first time when Tottenham's defenders reacted physically.

Ye Luo flicked his left foot to the right, turned around and shot directly with his right foot.

The soccer ball flew towards the goal on turf.

Lloris falls sideways to make a save.

But it's still out of reach.

The soccer ball swiped through the tips of his fingers,

Hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal.

Absolute dead end in theory!!

Ye Luo's shooting skills amazed the commentators in the stands.

"It's two to zero! The suspense of the game has basically been lost! ”

"No more suspense! There is no suspense left! ”

"Arsenal will win this derby and win nine in a row in the league!"

Even if it was only the twenty-eighth minute of the first half.

There is still more than an hour left to end the game.

But.

Andy Grey still gave Tottenham the death sentence.

Sidelines.

Mauricio Pochettino has returned to the dugout.

this game

Basically, it is powerless.

He shook his head helplessly.

looked at Ye Luo who was celebrating very angrily.

There are such players in the squad.

What is the ability to win!

and the narrators predicted.

Tottenham really didn't have any ability to fight back in this game.

In the second half, the game was 58 minutes.

Yelo set up Mikel Arteta's goal.

The score expanded to three to zero.

Arsenal sealed the win completely.

Eighty-third minute of the game.

Yelo began his performance.

He made successive passes along the flanks and scored with ease when facing the goalkeeper.

Four to zero!!

In the midst of the cheers at the Emirates Stadium.

Tottenham's players had a blank look on their faces.

They struggled, they tried.

But.

The end result.

It's still the same as before.

Once again, they lost.

Lost to Arsenal

Lost to Yelo.

Four goals behind.

this game.

If you give it to anyone, you are already powerless.

The last ten minutes of pizza are completely garbage time.

Tottenham's players are no longer pressing.

They accepted the result with great serenity.

Lost a lot.

And get used to it.

At last.

Stoppage time is three minutes.

However, the referee was not yet in the 92nd minute of the game.

The whistle for the end of the game was blown in advance.

After all.

The minds of both sides are not on the playing field.

There is no need for this game to go on.
