Chapter 125: Tricked to Death
Pearson was on the sidelines, staring straight at the counterattack.
Although it was destroyed by the opponent, the offensive tactics were already in place, and the thinking was very clear, and Rossi's retreat was the most important part of the counterattack.
Ulloa also likes to retreat, but his pullback is more about helping the team defend.
Once there is a counter-attacking opportunity, the ability to connect the two wings as a center forward is not as obvious as Rossi's role.
He's more of a forward attacking and finishing ability.
The team has now lost its midfield advantage, and Upper Ulloa can not contribute to the defense at all, but not the slightest role in attack.
Because the ball can't advance into half the court at all.
But Rossi is different, he can take the ball out of midfield and give it to the two wings.
It's just that this long pass requires a little bit of effort.
However, the counterattack just now gave Pearson a little confidence and applauded the players.
Danny Simpson tossed the ball and Vardy played it back to him.
Jamie Vardy has a lot of impact and aggression up front, whether it's a winger or a centre-forward, he can adapt to the change of position and make changes accordingly.
At the start of the second half, Pearson demanded that Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez go deep into the opposition and force Arsenal to press forward on the wing.
Despite the success, Lyrcester City were unable to score because of the lack of a playmaker in midfield.
When Arsenal defended, Sanchez was the only one left in the front line, and Rosicky will return to the middle to strengthen the defensive depth in the middle.
Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil were on both wings, waiting for a counter-attacking opportunity.
With Corcoran having a strong defensive coverage, he can protect the gaps between Cazorla and defenders and make up for his defensive deficiencies.
Because Arsenal have been in a 4-4-2 position when they retreat, the formation is compact, whether it is in the middle or on the wing, it is difficult to penetrate.
Therefore, it is necessary to constantly move the defence laterally to allow the Arsenal defence to be pulled out of space.
But in doing so, it would give Arsenal a chance to press up front.
Lyicester City are not a pass-and-possess team and they struggle to keep the ball under Arsenal's high press, so Schlupp has to drop back to help his team-mates.
However, under Arsenal's continued high pressing, Lyicester City still made mistakes when passing the ball.
Upson made a mistake in his return pass and was cut off by Sanchez and sent into the box.
Under the interference of captain Morgan, the Chilean striker forced a shot on goal, which was easily defused by the goalkeeper.
Arsene Wenger smiled from the sidelines, he was well aware of Pearson's tactics and that it was theoretically possible.
However, it is the individual ability of the players that determines whether the tactics are ultimately successful.
Arsenal, who have already taken a two-goal lead, are not in a hurry to attack, but patiently wait for Lyrcester City to make a mistake.
Lyicester City continued to apply pressure and increase their running to compress the opposition's passing space.
For ten minutes, neither side had a good shot on goal.
Lyrcester defended in a disagreeable but tenacious enough and the players were able to communicate and remind each other to make up for the holes in the defence.
But such a run at the expense of physical energy is very costly for the physical fitness of the players.
Especially Cambiaso, who is already 34 years old, how can he support such a strong defense.
In the 60th minute, Pearson warmed up Drinkwater and was ready to play at any time.
And the gentleness who had been sitting firmly in the rest area from the second half slowly walked to the command area and motioned for Walcott to press forward.
In the 65th minute, Walcott, who moved to the left rib, received a through ball from Cazorla, used his speed, and rushed directly to the penalty area from Cambiasso and Koncheski.
The two's closing defense failed to stop Walcoat and he managed to rush into the box.
In the face of Morgan's supplementary defense, Walcourt quickly dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, shook it past the defense, and his body did not have time to adjust, and he used the instep of his right foot to shoot.
The goalkeeper lowered his center of gravity while raising his arms and spreading his legs to block the ball.
The Emirates Stadium was suddenly in shock, and the fans hugged their heads in excitement, and then sat back down.
Pearson's face was very ugly, and his every step was clearly felt by his opponent.
He was just trying to fight for the ball with a high press, but Arsene Wenger gave him a quick counter-attack with a backhand and told him it was best not to move.
Pearson immediately made a change, with Drinkwater replacing Cambiasso as a midfielder.
Although he doesn't have Cambiaso's superior interception and tackling ability, he can take on the task of passing and controlling the direction in the midfield.
Now the team needs to control the ball and use the transfer to find openings.
Don't admit defeat?
Arsene Wenger smiled and he also made a substitution, with Olivier Giroud coming on for Alexis Sanchez.
Giroud not only has the advantage of competing for the top up front, but his movement and one-touch pass in the box often create good opportunities for his team-mates.
Ramsey replaced Theo Walcott to further strengthen the midfield's possession of the ball.
Wenger's every step kills Pearson's lifeblood, rendering his tactics useless and slowly eroding the player's fighting spirit.
Teaching this trick is too ruthless.
The two teams are at a stalemate, but in the eyes of fans, Arsenal have a clear ability to master the game.
Now it depends on how long the physical fitness of Lyster City can be maintained.
Rossi came on the pitch and found little chance other than the first pass, and due to the poor attack, he looked like an invisible man up front.
But he's not in a hurry, he's waiting, waiting for Arsenal to get tired.
High pressing is a great physical drain on the defender, but it is also a physical drain on the attacker.
This, coupled with Arsenal's wide breakaways, has led to a sharp drop in fitness, and Theo Walcott's substitution is a testament to this.
In the 75th minute, there was a physical crisis between the two sides, and the tempo began to drop.
Without physical support, Lyicester City were left with only the ability to parry, and the midfield began to be disjointed.
Arsene Wenger saw the right moment and let Rosicky take the ball and attack the right rib area of Lysster City.
For a moment, the pressure on Matthew James' defensive zone doubled.
Pearson was so anxious that he commanded the defense and was eager to get on the pitch himself to help relieve the defensive pressure.
Mesut Ozil moved to the left and joined Rosicky, Olivier Giroud and Cazorla in a small diamond-shaped formation.
The quartet used excellent foot skills and one-kick shots to play a dazzling frontcourt combination.
In the 78th minute, the four played a smooth combination on the flank, Giroud coquettishly made a backheel, and Rosicky followed up with a long-range shot.
The goalkeeper flew to the ball, his fingertips touched a point, and the ball hit the post and bounced out.
Morgan cleared the box with a big foot, and Drinkwater glanced up and passed the ball to Riyad Mahrez on the wing.
Riyad Mahrez advanced with the ball and Arsenal's midfield was quick to return and centre-backs Koscielny and Mertesacker were also unassisted.
In front, Rossi was alone.
The counterattack failed, and Mahrez could only slow down his advance and wait for his teammates to come and cooperate.
But Rossi pointed to his feet with his arms and motioned for the ball.
Mahrez doesn't understand, with Mertesacker up front and Koscielny behind, how does Rossi get rid of the Arsenal centre-back pairing?
Or is he not going to get rid of it, but to serve as a fulcrum, to make the ball for his teammates who are plugged in behind?
Mahrez took two lateral steps, pulled out space for the ball and sent a through ball forward, which broke through the midfield's defence and passed to Rossi.
Koscielny had already posted up, interfering with Rossi's access to the ball and preventing him from turning.
Rossi looked behind him and determined that there was only one defender, and he wanted to wait for his teammates to miss the opportunity to counterattack, so he might as well try to attack himself.
In his mind's eye, the bronze statue standing in front of the Emirates Stadium, the flying Dutchman.
A bold idea that instantly occupied his mind.
Perhaps, doable!
