Chapter 695 Tottenham’s fulcrum
Chapter 695 Tottenham’s fulcrum
Aubameyang grinned; “Their siege is very strong!”
As soon as he received the ball, he encountered the defense of three opponents. The reaction speed of the opponent was very fast, and this kind of cooperative pressing could not be practiced overnight.
“It’s hard for me to drive with the ball!”
Aubameyang bluntly said that under such circumstances, he cannot guarantee that every breakthrough will work.
To this, Wilshere also nodded and said; “As before, you run without the ball in the frontcourt, and the midfielder gives you the ball!”
Aubameyang nodded.
Bellerin passed the sideline ball vigorously to Le Kai, who resisted Dembele’s press, turned around and gave it to Mane.
As soon as he got the ball, he felt the frequency of footsteps beside his ears.
This is not a movement of a person.
He didn’t dare to take it too seriously, and immediately knocked the ball back to Lucy.
Lucky, on the other hand, dialed the ball horizontally, throwing off another press from Dembele.
Lucky moved slowly to the left, while also observing the distribution of Tottenham’s defense.
Suddenly, Lucky kicked up.
This pass was extremely sudden.
The ball showed a short arc and fell behind Tottenham full-back Kyle Walker, and Aubameyang also rushed forward quickly.
This ball has a certain amount of spin. After the ball hits the spot, the forward rolling speed slows down, allowing Aubameyang to chase the ball better.
But Kyle Walker was extremely astute. He came to the landing point before the opponent, knocked the ball to the central defender, and the central defender also passed it to the midfielder, which resolved the defensive crisis.
Arsenal failed to succeed in two consecutive offensive attempts.
“Tottenham’s defensive strength is very high! Lucky’s pass has been very covert, but Kyle Walker’s reaction is also very fast!”
After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Zhang Lu nodded and said, “The mind is extremely concentrated. When Le Kai is holding the ball, Tottenham are always wary of the position behind him. After all, Le Kai’s passing is notoriously deadly!”
“And when it comes to grabbing the first spot, Tottenham handled it better!”
Aubameyang raised his hand towards Le Kai, indicating that the ball did not keep up.
And Lucy clapped his hands to encourage each other.
But Le Kai’s heart is a little dignified.
Tottenham definitely came prepared. It can be seen from this defense that they intend to block their passing line.
Almost all the passes on the ground were blocked, and the situation behind the hit was also resolved astutely by the full-back.
The information is telling Lucy that this will be a fierce battle!
After that, Arsenal continued to want to make a fuss on the wing of Aubameyang, and Tottenham also made interspersed runs on the left wing.
But both sides defended well, and they didn’t give the opponent any chance at all.
The game came to five minutes, but neither side had a single shot.
The overall atmosphere became more dull.
“Tottenham’s defensive intensity is very high, and they seem to focus on offense in this game, but they are more coordinated and scaled in defense!”
Arteta said solemnly.
Mourinho also pursed his lips; “Pochettino is a special coach who is good at learning and creating his own tactics from imitation. This defensive tactic was very good at using Arsenal during Wenger’s time, but now it is being used by Pochetti. After Nuo learned from the past and added his own understanding, Tottenham’s defense became more difficult to break through.”
Arteta thought for a moment, and said: “But Tottenham’s offense is not a big threat to us!”
Mourinho didn’t say anything.
He feels that Tottenham should prepare something.
On the other side, Pochettino is also an old god, as if he is not in a hurry.
what exactly is it?
Mourinho couldn’t figure it out for a while.
At this time, Tottenham’s offense once again came to Arsenal’s rib area.
Tottenham’s offense is mighty, but facing Arsenal’s iron defense, they can’t find too many solutions.
The overall attack is still carried out on the left wing, and the right wing plays an auxiliary function.
But at this moment, Eriksson suddenly pulled back and hit the ball hard with the outside of his foot.
This is a ground transfer, the ball is fast.
At the same time, Sun Xingmin also advanced at high speed, facing the ball with a slightly tilted ankle, and knocked the ball forward with the arch of his foot.
At this time, Lucky is in the middle position and cannot immediately return to defense.
The ball rolled towards Arsenal’s penalty area line.
And Harry Kane appeared there, and he rubbed lightly with the instep of his outer foot.
The ball flew diagonally from the right.
And Sun Xingmin continued to rush forward, crossing Arsenal’s entire defense line in an instant.
Arsenal players were shocked.
When they turned around, Son Xingmin had already shot.
The ball flew very low, and after hitting the ground, it flew into the goal from above the arm of goalkeeper Martinez.
In 11 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur relied on an unexpected offensive cooperation to score the first goal!
This goal also made the Emirates Stadium silent for a while.
“Goal!!! Sonny!! A player from South Korea, a very good offensive cooperation!”
“Harry Kane took the initiative to retreat to help his teammates make the ball!”
“And the previous left-wing offensive pavement also made Arsenal’s defense lean to the left as a whole, but they did not expect that the real goal would appear on the right!!”
“Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal, the goal is Sun! Xing! Min!”
Tottenham’s goal turned Arsenal’s defense around.
Hummels and others did not react.
On the sidelines, Pochettino even clapped his hands to celebrate the goal.
At Arsenal’s coaching bench, Mourinho stared at the pitch with wide-eyed eyes, and then stamped his feet angrily.
Tottenham guys are planning this!
Harry Kane retreated to make the ball. This is the key to this goal, and it is also a picture that Mourinho never thought of.
After all, this is the first time Harry Kane has done this.
In the past, Harry Kane played the role of offensive terminator or point grabber, which is the traditional No. 9!
But in this offense, Harry Kane’s role has become a false number nine or even number 10.
Tottenham’s attack was unexpected by Arsenal.
Even some people were at a loss. They didn’t know why the goal suddenly appeared.
Le Kai looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment.
He has always been wary of Harry Kane’s header ability, but he forgot that this guy also has the fulcrum ability to retreat and make the ball.
And the latter is more threatening than the former!
The ball was lost. I was aggrieved!
“Tottenham ended their celebration and returned to their own half. The situation on the scene is not particularly friendly to Arsenal. They are behind at home, which is likely to cause Arsenal to lose at home.”
“And the new tactics displayed by Tottenham also made it impossible for Arsenal to make adjustments in the first place!”
The fact is the same, when the game restarts.
Arsenal started a more intense attack driven by the loss of the ball.
But under this anxious attack, Arsenal’s offensive strength was not high, and they were kicked back by Tottenham several times.
And Harry Kane frequently pulled out the back line, and sometimes even took the initiative to pull out the side. This kind of play made Arsenal very uncomfortable.
And under the influence of Harry Kane, Tottenham’s offense has become more and more smooth.
Arsenal has become more passive.
Time passed slowly.
Arsenal is in an extremely passive situation on the field.
On the contrary, Tottenham’s offense played well.
It is difficult for Arsenal to parry.
Lucky tried his best to stop it, but in the unsystematic situation, it was difficult for him to stop it all by himself.
And what Lucky can do now is to try to delay until the end of the midfield.
As long as the halftime break, Mourinho should think of a way.
At the same time, Mourinho on the sidelines was also looking nervously at the stadium.
He does know how to defend, but none of these can be explained in one or two sentences. He needs halftime.
And Arsenal have to last until that moment.
At this time, Tottenham’s offense struck again.
Facing the opponent’s attack, Kanter frantically made a tackle and tackled Eriksson with the ball.
Tottenham got a well-positioned frontcourt goal kick.
And this set kick also put Arsenal in trouble again.
“Retracement! Be sure to grab the first point!”
“Look at Harry Kane!”
Lucky kept yelling to set up the defense line.
He didn’t go to the wall, but joined the team fighting for the top.
At this time, the whistle sounded and Tottenham broke the ball.
The ball flew into the penalty area, which is a little close to the goal.
Lucky jumped against Harry Kane.
At the same time, goalkeeper Martinez also successfully attacked, and he collided with Lucky.
Martinez hit the ball, but at the same time Lucky, Martinez and Harry Kane also fell into the penalty area.
The ball flew out of the penalty area and just came to Eriksson’s feet.
Eriksen faced the ball and faced the empty goal, which was a shot.
The ball does not have too much power, and without any interference, this shot accurately enters the dead corner.
Tottenham scored again in the final stage of the first half.
