Chapter 184: Surprise, but also Surprise

After the goal, Ranieri showed a rare look of excitement and hugged assistant coach Craig.

In the previous meeting with Arsene Wenger, he had only won once, and the media was not optimistic about him before the game, thinking that he would definitely lose hard.

But judging from this short period of more than ten minutes, the adjustment of the lineup this time has changed significantly.

Defensively more solid, more possession, more chances.

And the running position of several people in the front court is flexible, and the cooperation is very tacit, this goal is definitely not luck or accident.

The home fans cheered and it was wonderful to be able to lead Premier League giants Arsenal at home.

[To tell the truth,Recently chased more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.yeguoyueduAndroidApple can be.】 】

Arsene Wenger did not blame anyone on the pitch for conceding the goal.

As a world coach, he knows very well that this is a tactical victory for Claudio Ranieri's team.

He slowly walked to the sidelines, directing the players at the back and stepping up the marking of Mahrez.

Lyicester City's attack so far has been initiated by him on both sides.

As long as he restricts his activities here and reduces his threat, he can effectively limit the threat of his opponent.

In the 15th minute, Lyicester handed the ball to Riyad Mahrez again, and this time Flamini immediately stepped forward to press the defence.

Mahrez was under tight guard and wanted to pass the ball to transition, but he remembered the words of the manager in his mind.

Be confident, dare to break through the opponent's defense, and not think of passing the ball in the first place.

That's what Ranieri expects from him.

Flamini is not a traditional defensive midfielder, with average physical fitness and not fierce enough in tackles.

His strength lies in his ability to anticipate the path of the ball and to make interceptions at the first time.

Coupled with diligent running, you can also make up for your own shortcomings.

If he is on the flanks now, Mahrez has the confidence to use his individual ability to break through his defence.

But now he is in the opponent's ribs, and he will be caught by many opponents at any time, and he must complete the breakthrough in the most direct and fastest way.

But as soon as Mahrez was about to start laterally, as soon as he flicked the ball with his left foot, Flamini used a sideways sliding tackle to bring down the ball with the ball.

The sudden tackle caught Mahrez, who had shifted his center of gravity, off guard, and his body fell down and pressed on Flamini.

The referee didn't stop the game and there was no problem with the tackle.

After Mahrez lost the ball, he hurriedly stood up, but Flamini under him fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Rossi raised his right hand and pushed the ball to the sideline while raising his right hand.

The referee also found an unexpected situation in the field, stopped the game, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Flamini clutched his thighs and his expression a little distorted, and the referee signaled for the team doctor to come on and treat the injured player urgently.

Flamini was diagnosed with a thigh muscle strain and could not continue playing, so Arsene Wenger had to replace him with Arteta.

Arteta comes from Barcelona's youth system, has his own pass-and-control attributes, and has a good long-range shot.

After joining Arsenal, due to the departure of Alexander Song in the midfield position, he was pushed into the central midfield position and took on defensive duties, sacrificing his attacking talent.

Compared to Flamini, he is more aggressive defensively and has excellent awareness, which helps him to be accurate in his tackles.

After the resumption of play, Arsenal returned possession to Leicester City.

The addition of Mikel Arteta has strengthened the hardness of Arsenal's midfield.

In the 18th minute, it was his tackle that snatched the ball from the feet of Mahrez, and after looking up, he went straight to Sanchez on the left wing.

Mahrez concedes the ball in this position, and the opponent's counterattack will immediately form a 4v5 situation.

Alexis Sanchez dribbled the ball down the flank, N'Golo Kante was the first to make up for it, and full-back Drael also moved in the direction of the ball to form a bag.

xxx moved from the middle lane, picked up Sanchez, and at the first time, handed it to Cazorla, who was plugged in the back.

The speed with which Arsenal's attack and defense were transformed was vividly displayed at this moment.

A lateral pass not only pushed the ball through the opponent's half, but also increased the number of people from the original 4 to 5.

This is the same number as Lyicester City.

Albrighton came from the flank.

With N'Golo Kante and Danny Drinkwater too late to get back into defence, he had to drop defending on the wings.

The consequence of this is that once the ball is distributed to the wing, then Schlupp will face a disadvantageous situation of 1v2.

If Albright doesn't step up, centre-back Morgan will have to step up and intercept.

Then Walcott on the front line has a chance to insert behind Morgan.

Instead of splitting the side, Cazorla went straight to Walcott at the front end.

It's an absolute trust in your teammates' speed and individual abilities.

At the same time, it is also to despise the center-back combination composed of Hutter and Morgan.

Walket slid sideways to meet the ball and, on the moment he touched it, picked it out of the space between the two centre-backs.

And he himself used his speed to get through the bag between the two.

Morgan and Hutt's bag was a step too late and was staggered by Walcott.

[Single knife, Walket single knife! ] 】

[Schmeichel strikes! 】

[Walcott shoots!] 】

【Shoot!】 】

[This ball is here!] goal!

!

】

[Arsenal equalizes! ] 】

Morgan and Huth, who were chasing back, didn't even touch the corners of Waltke's clothes, so they could only look at the ball and sigh.

When Walcott debuted, England had extremely high expectations

His appearance even made McLaren, the head coach of the national team at the time, give up the former captain Beckham.

However, suffering from repeated injuries, the England winger did not live up to his talent.

But Walcott, who is in good health, definitely deserves the nickname "Little Tiger".

After the equaliser, Arsenal seemed to find their rhythm and the players found their groove and organised effective passes in midfield.

With Mikel Arteta on the boards, the team were quick to switch between attack and defence, and were able to take advantage of the sudden increase in tempo to catch opponents off guard.

In the 33rd minute, Arsenal won the ball in the middle, xxx was responsible for the left and right coordination, tearing the defensive line, forcing Drinkwater's foul and getting a set-piece opportunity in front.

In the absence of a high enough point, Arsenal's attacking players were pressed outside the penalty line.

xxx takes a set-piece and the ball goes to the middle.

But here, Arsenal's attacking players in the middle, under the opponent's tight defense, simply can't get in.

Just when the Lyicester players thought the ball would be confiscated by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, a figure cut diagonally from the back post to the middle, grabbed the landing point with precision, and slotted home the goal.

It all happened so suddenly, and before the defender and goalkeeper could see the attacking player, he headed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

【goal!

[Arsenal has overtaken! ] 】

[From Sanchez, Sanchez's thigh's attack.] 】

[Lyicester City is in the middle, and there is no one to defend. 】

[Sanchez's running position is too thief.] He deceived everyone from the back and used an arc to run. 】

[Lyrcester City, for their carelessness, paid the price of conceding a goal. 】

This time, Ranieri was furious.

He blamed the wide players off the pitch for not being wary of Sanchez's forward tackle.

It was a big defensive mistake!

The back-to-back goals conceded left Lyrcester City in a brief slump.

And in the next ten minutes, Arsenal attacked the opposition wide.

If Lyicester City shifts their defensive focus to the wings, Arsenal will take advantage of the team's super passes, quickly pass the ball to the weak side, or attack the wing.

Lyicester City's flanks were overwhelmed, and N'Golo Kante and Drinkwater were too tired to organise an effective attack.

Claudio Ranieri even dropped back to help the midfielder defend solidly and survive the first half.

The score of 1:2, although it was expected by fans, but the one-sided situation on the field made Ranieri's brows furrow.

The result also came as a surprise to Arsene Wenger.

With Flamini's injury, he is also worried that adjusting too early will cause instability in the future of the game.

But two goals allowed him to dispel this concern.
