Chapter 274: The on-the-spot command is only a B-level top marshal
With a screeching sound, the ball did not bounce into the goal, but bounced out.
All the Gunners players couldn't help but froze.
Immediately, Koscielny, Bellerin, Monreal and other Gunners players subconsciously rushed to the ball.
However, there are people who are faster than them!
A blue figure, as if prepared, rushed out of the crowd, and then rushed ahead of everyone and pushed with the inside of his foot!
The ball went straight into the net from the bottom right corner of the goal!
Cech, who was a little slower, could only look at the ball and sigh
And the one who completed the supplementary shot was naturally the sharpest scorer on Leicester City's forward line - Jamie Vardy!
"Shoot!"
'Jamie Vardy scored !!'
'The Foxes have scored their ninth goal of the season and he has now scored in seven consecutive league games!'
Even the Gunners players raised their hands to signal that Vardy was offside.
However, instead of raising the flag as they would like, the linesmen ran back.
At the same time, the referee Oliver also stretched out his hand to the kick-off point, indicating that the goal was valid!
"There was nothing wrong with that! Leicester equalised at home! β
And Ling Feng and the rest of his teammates also rushed to Vardy to celebrate with him.
Ranieri on the sidelines also applauded and smiled.
Since seeing Ling Feng's amazing long-range shooting ability in the last round, he immediately made some additions to the team's long-distance set-piece tactics.
In the past, set-pieces 30 metres away from goal would be handled by Ling Feng or Riyad Mahrez, depending on the area.
But the choice of the two is generally to pass the ball into the box and look for teammates in the high spot.
But now, if the set-piece is in the middle, Ranieri will let Ling Feng come and hit the goal!
After two months of training, Ling Feng was not sure to shoot the ball directly.
However, he was sure to hit the goal!
Moreover, with his shooting power of up to 99, the goalkeeper could not receive his shot at all, and could only save with both palms or go out to sea with double dragons to knock the ball out.
Of course, it's best to go straight in.
But if you don't get in, the goalkeeper saves or hits the crossbar and the post, and bounces out, Vardy or other team-mates who are ready will rush to the goal as soon as possible to make a follow-up shot.
That's why, before taking the free-kick, Ling Feng gave Vardy a look and let Mahrez take advantage of the situation to attract him!
And the well-designed set-piece tactics have paid off!
After Leicester's equaliser, the situation on the pitch did not change much.
Arsenal continued to dominate possession and laid siege to the hedgehog of Leicester City in small areas.
Short passes and one-kicks allowed the Gunners to keep the number of passes going up and the crowd to watch.
As the most important point of possession of the team in the frontcourt, Sanchez, the "thigh" on the left, is the most active in the frontcourt.
Perhaps it was the goal in the first half that made him realize that Simpson, who was opposite him, seemed to be unable to defend himself.
As a result, the Chilean star repeatedly won the ball on the left flank and attacked the right side of Simpson's guard, trying to use his individual ability to tear apart the Foxes' defence.
And Simpson is slowly getting acquainted with his passing rhythm, using his excellent physical fitness to press as much as possible.
In addition, the defender Kante has come to help defend many times, so that Sanchez's side is not so rampant.
However, Arsenal's attack did not rely solely on Sanchez's individual ability.
Like many big clubs, the Gunners' attacking tactics are a combination of wings and centres.
In particular, the two full-backs, Bellerin and Monreal, have excellent ability to follow back.
As a result, they tend to be bold in attacking the front, forming a small tandem with the striker or midfielder at the edge of the penalty area to create more variation.
Although with N'Golo Kante, a large area of coverage, the midfielder moves left and right, constantly participating in the defense.
But, after all, he is just one person.
You can defend the left side, and you can't teleport to the right side all at once.
That's not Kante, it's Naruto, who can shadow the doppelganger
Seeing Arsenal's offensive wave after wave, Ling Feng also had to return to the midfield area to help defend.
His speed and fitness allow him to run in midfield to cover a larger defensive area.
However, in a defensive position, it is difficult to maintain a high level of concentration for long periods of time.
Moreover, defense will always be more expensive than offense, both physically and mentally.
was suppressed by Arsenal in the half, and until the forty-second minute of the first half, Arsenal attacked again!
This time, Alexis Sanchez received the ball on the left and broke through to draw Kante to the left again, and then played a return pass to the dog in charge of the tandem in the middle.
The latter, on the other hand, passed the ball back to Cazorla, who was a little later.
Seeing this, the Blue Foxes thought that Arsenal would continue to fall on the periphery, and the tight strings relaxed slightly, but the Gunners brain Cazorla seized this opportunity and suddenly advanced with the ball!
This is the essence of the pass-and-control tactic!
First, use the backward foot return pass on the periphery to pull the defense line and numb the opponent's defensive attention.
Then suddenly speed up and catch the opponent off guard!
Cazorla, who came forward with the ball, first hit the wall with the dog, and after passing the Ling Feng who grabbed it, the dog passed back with a heel, allowing Cazorla to get the ball to the right side of the front of the penalty area.
Then, before Kante could follow up, he sent a well-powered through ball into the box!
Ramsey, who cut in diagonally from the right, grabbed ahead of Fuchs and got stuck.
Dribbling to the bottom line, Ramsey did not hesitate to cross the middle.
This low cross is very chicken thief, right in the area between the goalkeeper and the defender.
Schmeichel did not dare to attack, for fear of being knocked out;
Hut or Morgan didn't dare to stretch out their feet to block it, for fear of hitting an oolong.
In the end, the ball went all the way to the back of the goal
Fortunately, under the close interference of Simpson, Sanchez's push shot hit Hut's body with a direct "bang" and rebounded outside the penalty area.
It landed right at the feet of Cazorla.
The midfield master, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, stepped on the ball, and then flicked it, aimed at the goalkeeper's position, and shot directly!
The ball arced in mid-air, bypassing the Blue Foxes in front of it, and unstoppably spinning into the top right corner of the goal!
And just like that, Arsenal took the lead again in the first half.
With the lead again, Wenger waved his big hand, and Arsenal also adopted a pragmatic low post defense.
Leave Walcott's fast horse in the front court to counterattack, and everyone else retreats to their own half!
Obviously, the first half is coming to an end and they intend to take the lead back into the dressing room.
Although Leicester City's formation also pressed forward, it launched a wave of onslaught.
However, there was not much time left, and several passes and cuts did not have an effect, and they still failed to tie the score in the first half.
With a score of 1-2, the two sides returned to the dressing room.
And when the players returned to the dressing room, Ranieri immediately began his own lecture:
"It's our home turf, it's our turf. And the fans are on our side. β
"Just a ball gap! We still have a full half, forty-five minutes to tie and even overtake! β
"So, don't rush!"
'At our pace, they should continue to play back in the second half and lure us into pressing.
"Ling, you can attack Flamini's side more and break through boldly"
"Also, you can be tougher defensively, so that the fans in the stands who bought tickets to watch your game can see your passion and determination to win this game!"
In the first half, although the team conceded most of the possession, there were not many chances to attack the attacking third.
However, the team lacked tacit understanding on the defensive end, and even less communication.
And after hearing Ranieri's words, the eyes of all the Blue Fox players were also a little more ruthless.
Even Kante's eyes have become sharper!
γγγ
In the second half, it was easy to play again.
Arsene Wenger continued to maintain the defensive counter-attacking formation in the first half.
This is very much in line with the character of this Arsenal godfather β conservative!
In his opinion, the away team took the lead at the King Power Stadium, as long as he was willing to retreat to the half court pragmatically and played a defensive counterattack.
Leicester City, who are playing at home, will inevitably press out to attack, thus giving them the opportunity to counter-attack quickly.
At that time, the Gunners only need one chance to put an end to the suspense of the game!
However, he seems to have overlooked a very important issue.
That's the team's defense, it's not as good as it seems!
And the key to defensive counterattack tactics is to defend against the opponent's attack first, and then there will be a counterattack later!
At the end of the day, during the years in Arsene Wenger's charge, Arsenal have been overpowering their opponents with flashy techniques and attacks.
Especially at the beginning of this century, with Henry, Pire, Bergkamp and other frontcourt players,
At that time, the Gunners' defense was also impregnable.
Vieira and Petit have built a French wall in the midfield, and no one can easily cross it.
Coupled with the backline composed of Lawrence, Chloe Toure, Campbell and Ashley Cole, few teams in Europe can directly tear apart Arsenal's defense and directly face the door guarded by Lehmann!
However, that's all about the old calendar.
Now Arsenal's midfielders are Flamini and Cazorla!
After the start of the second half, Ling Feng obviously increased the number of times he broke through with the ball in the midfield.
The two wingers are interspersed with running positions, opening up space for their breakthroughs, and also looking for opportunities to step forward to catch the ball.
Ling Feng has repeatedly gained huge space to break through and advance in the midfield, and has become the most active player in the Blue Foxes' attack.
In front of Ling Feng, the No. 1 supercar in Britain, these two veterans who are over thirty years old are not his opponents at all!
Cazorla couldn't catch up with Ling Feng at all, and he didn't have enough physical confrontation to be able to give Ling Feng some pressure.
And Flamini has a yellow card on him, and he is naturally timid to defend, and he does not dare to block Ling Feng's sharp breakthrough.
For a time, Arsenal's central defense was useless!
It is precisely because of this that when the game came to the fifty-seventh minute, Ling Feng shot directly with his feet after passing Cazorla in the middle!
Boom~~~
This time, although the shot was fast, but the angle was slightly right, Cech did not dare to slack off, and directly slapped it out of the bottom line with both palms.
Leicester City, who had been suppressed for nearly 60 minutes, finally got the first corner kick opportunity of the game.
It was with this corner kick that Ling Feng's pass accurately found the Blue Foxes captain Wes Morgan in the penalty area.
The latter leaped high and got ahead of Koscielny with a header.
It was so close that even if Cech reacted quickly and touched the ball with his outstretched left hand, it couldn't stop it from flying into the goal behind him.
In this way, the Blue Foxes stubbornly equalized again at home!
After giving the equalizing assist, Ling Feng, who was standing in the corner flag area, immediately turned around, raised his arms, and beckoned the fans in the stands to give them some support.
βCome OnοΌβ
"Let me hear you!"
Seeing this, the entire King Power Stadium instantly boiled.
More than 20,000 home fans in the stands formed cheers and attacked the players on both sides on the field.
For a time, the morale of the Blue Foxes players was as high as a flame in winter.
And the morale of the Arsenal players, who have been hit hard, is even more like falling into an ice cave.
Witnessing the Blue Foxes equalising, Wenger on the sidelines spread his hands and frowned.
Perhaps he didn't expect the Blue Fox to equalize so quickly.
For a while, he was a little undecided, not knowing whether to let the team continue to defend and counterattack, or continue to strengthen the attack.
And this old handsome's on-the-spot command has always been criticized very much.
Hesitant and conservative!
If Ferguson, Heynckes, Mourinho, Guardiola, Van Gaal and other top coaches have an A or S level of on-the-spot command, Arsene Wenger's on-the-spot command level is at most B!
Flamini was carrying a yellow card, the defense was timid, and Cazorla had no defensive contribution, so he didn't make a substitution and replaced the more defensively capable Coquelin.
It also made the game gradually out of his control
Just ten minutes later, Ling Feng once again had a chance to break through with the ball in the middle.
I saw that he directly started to advance quickly, a soup, and after easily passing Cazorla, he was already within the range of the long shot.
Seeing Ling Feng's outside instep and shooting from a distance, Koscielny's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted for Flamini, the last barrier in front of the defensive line
"Go up!"
"Don't let him get on his feet!"
And Flamini didn't care that he still had a yellow card on him, so he rushed straight forward.
However, making fouls is not Ling Feng's purpose!
And just as Flamini pounced, Ling Feng made a fake shot and used a croquette to clean it up.
Immediately afterwards, he took a trip forward and went straight to the heart of Arsenal.
At the moment of attracting Koscielny's grab, Ling Feng shook the inside of his right foot and sent a fatal through stopper.
The ball went just past Mertesacker's feet and into the left side of the box.
Albrighton, who cut forward from the left, passed through the ribs of Mertesacker and Bellerin and got the ball!
"Wow!"
"Just the right straight stopper!"
"Albrighton! Face the goalkeeper! β
In the face of Cech, a world-class goalkeeper, Albrighton was a little nervous, not knowing whether to push the far corner or shoot directly.
However, a familiar shout made him give up his decision to shoot!
"Mark !!"
Hearing the shouts from the right, Albrighton did not hesitate and directly crossed the ball with his left foot.
And this pass directly caught Cech off guard.
Even if he moves sideways for the first time.
But Ling Feng, who had already reached the goal, pushed lightly, and sent the ball from the fingertips that Cech was trying to stretch out, into most of the empty goal!
With the fierce collision between the ball and the net, white ripples rippled up.
Suddenly, with a "boom", the whole stadium was ignited again!
