Chapter 84 Arsenal's Counterattack

"In the first half, Torres scored a goal and the score came to 1:0. We led Arsenal at home! Judging from the situation in the first half, we had an absolute advantage in the midfield. Arsenal can only shrink their defensive line and fight back. Although they tried a few times to attack, the result is not optimistic. Campbell, an egomaniac, paid a heavy price for his pre-match remarks!"

Lawrence smiled extraordinarily happily, and he briefly summed up the situation in the first half.

Tottenham have the advantage, Arsenal can only fight back.

Moreover, in the two confrontations between Yi Le and Ozil, Yi Le had the upper hand. Although there is a bonus to the midfield lineup and tactical arrangements, Yi Le still showed terrifying dominance on the single line.

"We feel a little bit of sympathy for Campbell, his pre-match trash talk is not proportional to his performance on the field. He compared Tottenham's defense to rubbish, but now he is hit by this mass of 'trash'. It is foreseeable that the Costa Rican will have to face the cynicism of the media after the game, and I hope he will not be pissed off at that time...."

 …

In the Tottenham dressing room, the players raved about the defense.

"Alderweird, you totally froze Campbell!"

"I'm kind of looking forward to what the Costa Rican's face will be when he faces the media's ridicule after the game."

"I can imagine his psychological feeling, feeling that he can single out our defense line, but get hit all over the head, hahahahaha..."

The players laughed and praised the good performance of the defense, and even Yi Le couldn't help but praise.

In previous games, the presence of the defense line was very small.

On the one hand, it is because Tottenham's midfield suppression is too strong, and there are not many teams that can put Tottenham under defensive pressure.

On the other hand, Tottenham's defense is covered by the light of the midfield, but if you look at it alone, Tottenham's defense is still very good.

The team members laughed non-stop.

Facing the lead, everyone is in a happy mood.

At this time, Captain Lori stood up and said: "Don't be careless, Arsenal has always been a tough team. Their threat in the second half will be greatly increased. This time we did not get a big score in the first half." the lead,

There was no scoreline for them to crash, so extra care needs to be taken with their second-half comebacks. "

On the other side, in the Arsenal dressing room, Ozil got up and said: "Sir, I hope to be a little higher in the second half."

Ozil understands that it is better to go head-to-head with Tottenham's midfielder, so they avoid this.

Abandoning the midfield directly is mainly based on big-footed passes in the backcourt, and the frontcourt players look for opportunities by themselves.

Although this tactic will prevent Arsenal from playing an advantage, it will be over directly!

But the situation at this time does not allow them to think too much, Arsenal must take a gamble.

Wenger also agreed to this tactic after a little thought. After all, it is the same in his opinion. Against Tottenham's ultra-mobile midfielder, Arsenal can't fight at all.

Facing Tottenham's midfielder, they can only passively play defensive counterattacks.

Then just give up the midfield, risk the front and back courts, increase the firepower in the front court, rely on the big kick in the back court, and find opportunities by yourself.

 …

At the beginning of the second half, the TV cameras turned to Ozil and Giroud.

The two came out of the player tunnel, as if they were talking about something, but because they covered their mouths with their hands, they couldn't see what they were talking about.

But this does not prevent the on-site commentary from guessing.

"Arsenal want to make a comeback. Their hope is still on Ozil and Giroud. Ozil wants to recall his form, and Giroud wants to help the team score." The TV commentator commented: "Ozil has recently His performance was not bad, but in these two North London derbies, when Ozil faced Yi, he often couldn't bear the pressure from Yi. This was also the case in the first half, when the Chinese midfielder let the German midfielder Completely misfired! So if Arsenal want to win, the problem is still in the midfield!"

On the live TV station, commentators are also helping Arsenal make suggestions.

They have different opinions, and all kinds of theoretical knowledge on paper are readily available.

But they never expected that Arsenal's plan in the second half was to completely abandon the midfield and strengthen the capabilities of the frontcourt and the backcourt.

It can also be felt from this how much pressure Tottenham puts on Arsenal.

 …

From the beginning of the second half, Arsenal's tactics made Yi Le feel very strange.

They seem to have completely given up on the midfield strategy, and the entire back line is huddled in the big penalty area for defense, but many people are left in the frontcourt.

This strange move made Yi Le feel a little uncomfortable.

On the one hand, he needs to suppress, but on the other hand, he also needs to beware of Arsenal's defensive counterattack.

Now it is completely different from the first half. Arsenal deployed a large number of troops in the frontcourt. Even Ozil passed Yi Le and stood in the back line of defense.

What should I do?

Yi Le thought over and over again, and decisively stepped forward to the ball.

It's over!

Due to Arsenal's abandonment of the midfielder, Tottenham's army was under pressure, and they kept trying to break through outside Arsenal's penalty area.

But the effect is not very good, Arsenal's defense is very firm.

And because the defensive net was too concentrated, Yi Le couldn't find a passing space for a while.

The two sides stalemate for about ten minutes, and finally the variable appeared.

Due to a reckless attack by Tottenham, Dele Alli went deep into the penalty area, fell into Arsenal's defensive trap and was robbed of the ball.

After Arsenal player Mertesacker held the ball, without thinking about it, regardless of the angle, he kicked the football forward with a big foot.

Football is fast and flies far.

At the same time, Tottenham's defense and Arsenal's three players, Sanchez, Giroud, and Ozil, turned and ran. They were fast and chasing the football crazily.

Due to the three front fork arrows, Tottenham's defensive strength had to be dispersed.

And the goalkeeper Lori couldn't bear it anymore, so he killed it directly.

"Chances!!! Arsenal's amazing tactics worked! There were three Arsenal players in the Tottenham half, and they competed with the four defenders for the ball. It was also killed from the restricted area."

The football landed about near the penalty area line, and there was already a battle there at this time.

Tottenham's defensive players were stuck in their positions, and they couldn't let the Arsenal players take the ball off.

And Özil, Sanchez, and Giroud were not to be outdone, they squeezed desperately towards the middle.

Lori was also in place at this time, roaring angrily.

"Get out of the way!!!!"

Lori jumped up, stretching his neck as far as possible, he wanted to push the football out.

Since it was near the penalty area line, he didn't dare to touch the football with his hands. After all, the ball was difficult to judge, so he decided to push the ball out with his head.

But just at the moment of lightning and flint, Sanchel came from behind, and with his excellent jumping ability, he took the lead in pushing the ball to the lower left.

And there, Ozil easily unloaded the ball, strode the ball, and reached the penalty area.

At this point, Ozil is facing an empty goal.

He adjusted his position and sent the football in easily.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The few Arsenal fans at the scene were boiling.

They were pleasantly surprised by the goal.

And Arsenal's change of formation also reaped results. Although they gave up the midfielder, they scored a goal.

This goal is too precious, which means that the two sides of this game will return to the same starting line!

 …

Ozil was running all over the field, and when he walked around Yi Le, he raised his eyebrows at Yi Le.

Yi Le was a little depressed. He shook his head with his waist in his arms. There was really no way for this goal.

Arsenal's defender's kick-off with a big foot was too lucky.

And Tottenham's defense in panic also appeared loopholes.

Lori even left the door.

Numerous mistakes and accidental completion of this goal.

On the sidelines, Wenger stood up and applauded with a smile, but his brows were still furrowed. Obviously this goal could not help Arsenal win the game.

They still need to work harder.

On the other hand, Boas was a little irritable.

Arsenal's tactics made him feel very uncomfortable. Did this kind of play with a strong "gambling nature" really appear on a world-famous coach?

Boas couldn't help turning his head to look at Wenger. Is this guy really the 'professor' he knew, not some dog gambling coach?

You know, without this lucky ball, Arsenal is likely to be crushed by Tottenham's offensive pressure again, and another tragedy will occur.

But Wenger clearly has a big heart and he won the bet.
