Chapter 77: Invisible Erickson
, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!
After falling behind, how to quickly equalize the score is a key issue.
Tottenham now wants to quickly equalize the score, which is very important for them, especially after the end of the first half, they must equalize the score.
If they enter the second half in a backward state, they will only become more passive.
"Go up!!"
"All go up!"
Eriksen shouted loudly.
Now the most anxious person is Eriksen.
He is the core of Tottenham's organization. Tottenham is now behind and has been unable to open the situation. He needs to take a big blame.
Although Eriksen has tried his best to play, he always feels powerless in the face of Arsenal's midfield.
Especially when facing Lucky.
Lucky does not give the opponent a certain amount of organizational space like other midfielders. Lucky's style determines that when controlling the rhythm, he will press you to death.
Eriksen is not used to dealing with such opponents. Many times, such players represent absolute suppression on the court.
And they are also capable of achieving their goals.
Eriksson also wants to be this kind of player, but his ability and mental limitations prevent him from becoming this kind of player.
So he suffers.
Just like now, once Lucky comes forward, Eriksson must make concessions. If he does not make concessions, Lucky and Arsenal will start a more intense confrontation in the midfield, which is a situation Eriksson does not want to see.
He can fight, but he must find a desperate node, rather than blindly.
For this reason, Eriksson is constantly observing and thinking during the attack.
If he can equalize the score, how can he open the situation.
The answer is obvious!
"Kane!"
Eriksson shouted forward, and Arsenal's defensive force subconsciously gathered towards the middle, but the next second, Eriksson passed the ball to Ali's feet.
Ali ran quickly with the ball.
But before Ali ran much, Lucky suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way forward.
Ali still didn't want to give up, so when he was a certain distance away from Lucky, his body began to sway, pretending to want to break through.
In response, Lucky was not fooled by the opponent's fake move. He retreated with his body slightly squatting, while staring at the ball.
When Ali suddenly changed direction to the left, Lucky suddenly approached.
What?
Ali was startled.
This was a fake move, so his center of gravity did not completely tilt over.
But in the process of pulling the ball, Lucky suddenly fell to the ground and slid, kicking the ball out.
Ali watched the ball being cut off from his feet and flew behind him, and Wilshere started running with the ball.
Arsenal got another chance to counterattack.
But Ali's eyes were always on Lucky.
Lucky got up from the ground, patted his butt, and then passed Ali to continue to protect the center circle area.
During the whole process, Lucky didn't even look at him.
Ali felt a little hot on his face.
Mainly because he was cut off too cleanly.
But no one expected Lucky's attack to be so decisive.
It was obviously a fake move!
It was obviously successful.
But Lukay still managed to steal the ball.
This was a big blow to Ali!
Arsenal also got a corner kick opportunity in this attack.
Arsenal players began to run towards Tottenham's penalty area.
"Tottenham's attack is always disrupted, and their frontcourt connection doesn't seem to be very good?"
Andy Gray was also a little confused.
Obviously Tottenham played well, but why was it still restricted by Arsenal.
In this regard, the commentator partner Richard said; "It's not that Tottenham played badly, but Arsenal played too well!"
"Arsenal's interception and steals in the midfield are the characteristics of their team. With the defensive linkage between the midfield and the backcourt, Tottenham can find even fewer opportunities!"
"It can be said that even if Tottenham breaks through Arsenal's midfield line, they will have to face the back line afterwards!"
"And if their progress is too slow, they are likely to be pinched and pressed by the retreating midfielders!"
Speaking of this, Richard said with emotion; "I now admire Mourinho a little. In just one year, he has transformed Arsenal from a passing and controlling team to a world-class defensive team!"
Not only Richard, but even Arsenal fans are watching with shining eyes.
Before, they always felt that defense was ugly, and offense could render the art of football.
But now watching Arsenal intercept and steal Tottenham's offense again and again, those stable defensive methods make them feel extremely reassured.
Unless Tottenham gets a one-on-one chance, they don't think they can break through Arsenal's defense.
This is indeed the case. Tottenham has no way to deal with Arsenal's defense.
Arsenal's corner kick.
At this time, the time has come to 43 minutes, and there are only 2 minutes left before the end of the first half.
It is very likely that this is the last corner kick of the game.
Of course, for Tottenham, they must keep this ball.
Arsenal continues to attack.
Giroud and Lucky are still the main contenders for the top spot. It can be said that as long as either one of these two breaks through, Arsenal will have the ability to expand the score.
Wilshere came to the corner kick area. He looked towards the center and raised his hand with three fingers.
Arsenal players understand.
The Tottenham players all had heavy faces.
So, what is the tactic of ‘three’?
Each team's password is strictly confidential.
Opposing players have no way of knowing what this means.
They were not allowed to think too much, Arsenal had already started taking action.
The whistle sounded.
Wilshere immediately made a free throw.
Lucky and Giroud squeezed in at the same time, and the latter immediately ran back.
Giroud turned the corner and ran backwards, attracting the attention of many Tottenham defenders.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lucai had already squeezed out of the defense line and jumped up.
"Kai! This ball is passed too close!"
Just as Lucky jumped up, Tottenham goalkeeper Lori took the lead and took the ball away.
Wilshere passed the ball too close to the goal.
Wilshere also raised his hand to indicate that the pass was not passed well. Lucky did not delve into it. After all, no one can guarantee that the passing rate will be accurate every time.
The ball was held in Lori's arms, and Lori wanted to launch a quick counterattack.
But as soon as he reached the edge of the penalty area, Mane suddenly rushed towards Lori. Lori was so frightened that he stopped and did not dare to throw the ball.
At this time, the Arsenal players had recovered their energy and immediately turned around and retreated towards the opponent's goal. They were obviously ready to defend.
Seeing that the opportunity to counterattack was wasted, Lori also felt a little regretful.
"Tottenham want a quick start! Mane is so scary!"
Zhan Jun grinned and said: "Mane is so bad!"
Zhang Lu on the side laughed and said: "Mane is an honest man, and honest people are called smart!"
The two were teasing Mane about scaring Lori, but it is undeniable that Mane made a good choice this time.
Delaying Tottenham's quick start and helping his teammates create time to retreat.
Seeing that the Arsenal players had completed their retreat, Lori had no choice but to throw the ball to the full-back, giving up the idea of counterattack.
"Time was running out. Tottenham were passive in the first half, but in the final period, they still failed to mount an effective counterattack. On the contrary, Arsenal got many chances!"
Andy Gray looked at the court and said; "Tottenham need to solve this problem during the halftime break. This is also the most acute problem, how to make Eriksen play his role again!"
"At least judging from the situation in the first half, Eriksen was almost invisible, and the Danish star was unable to play his role. Even Tottenham as a whole was in a bad state where the offense could not be launched!"
"We have seen many of Eriksen's highlights before, but when faced with Arsenal's midfield pressure, the Dane couldn't handle it!"
Richard added; "Actually, there is a reason for Eriksen's problem. We can see that Kai was facing off against Eriksen throughout the game! In fact, if possible, Pochettino can completely replace Eli. Put Kesen in the back, or switch sides with the two wingers, allowing the Korean to bear the pressure of Kai and freeing Eriksen at the same time!”
"After all, judging from previous performances, except for the initial attack, the Koreans' performance at other times was not particularly good."
