Chapter 709 Back midfielders, don’t retreat

Chapter 709 Back midfielders, no need to retreat

Hummels is very angry. From Dortmund to Arsenal, his state has indeed recovered a lot, but at the same time he has been criticized for relying too much on Arsenal’s powerful midfielder.

The independent combat capability of the defense line has always been something that Arsenal needs to solve and advocate, but so far, Arsenal has only demonstrated this capability in a few cases.

Tactics are worth mentioning! Cooperative combat is also good.

Many times, they all need the support of the midfielders.

In this game, Manchester City used penetration from both sides to continuously press their midfielders into the half, and Lucky was not even allowed to participate in the attack.

Defense needs to rely on support from other positions, which is an insult to defenders.

At this time, Manchester City’s offense struck again.

Still along the sidewalk, relying on Sterling’s breakthrough ability at this point.

Lucky couldn’t be on the top right away!

Sterling began to advance along the sidewalk at high speed!

“Bellerin! Go up!”

Suddenly, there was a loud shout.

Bellerin moved forward subconsciously.

When he was about to paste Sterling, the latter suddenly made a spike and wanted to break through from the inside.

At this time, Bellerin’s position cannot make a good turn.

He wanted to reach out and pull the other person.

Right at this moment, the sound of intense running came.

The next second, a figure suddenly flashed past.

“Hummels! Nice tackle!”

Hummels stepped forward suddenly, his tackle was extremely decisive, and the timing was also very good.

The ball was kicked directly to Lucky by Hummels.

This change is not only for Manchester City players, even Lucky was stunned for a moment.

But a great opportunity to counterattack is in front of him, Le Kai turns around.

“Counterattack!”

Live commentator George Adams got up excitedly.

“Kay! Arsenal are going to counterattack! How will Kay handle this ball!”

After Le Kai drove to the center circle, he still moved towards the side.

As soon as Aubameyang got the ball, Yaya Toure suddenly crossed over.

In desperation, Aubameyang stepped forward for the ball, but the ball was still stopped by Yaya Toure.

The intercepted ball hit Aubameyang’s calf and bounced off the baseline.

Arsenal’s counterattack failed to fight!

“Ah~~~ Yaya Toure’s follow-up speed is very fast, Arsenal’s counterattack failed!”

Although the counterattack failed to obtain the effect.

But Lucy still applauded, this applause was for the defense.

Hummels’ sudden grab was unexpected by Le Kai, and the opponent kicked the ball to him very well, saving a lot of trouble.

“Matz.”

As soon as Luckai spoke, Hummels interrupted: “Members, there is no need to retreat too much in the future. Trust our defense line. If we can’t even do this, then we have no meaning in existence.” !”

Lucy was stunned for a moment.

When he saw Hummels’ serious eyes, he was a little annoyed and serious, but at this time Hummels was indeed explaining his point of view seriously.

Regarding this, Le Kai couldn’t help but smiled, and gave a thumbs up: “Awesome!”

Hummels didn’t understand, but he could feel that Lucky was praising him, he grinned, turned his head and shouted: “Jimenez, there can only be one person in the grab, we need to communicate well, two The full-back must limit the opponent’s inward cutting direction, and leave the rest to us! GOGOGO! Let’s win this game!”

Hummels is the captain of Dortmund, and his mental attributes are also extremely strong.

In the previous game, Hummels’ state was not fully adjusted, so he needed the help of Arsenal’s midfielders.

Now, he feels that his state has gradually recovered. Although he has not yet reached the peak level, he is almost there.

Defenders have their own jobs and cannot rely solely on the midfielder.

Even if their midfielders are really strong!

Hummels’ sudden attack caused Arsenal’s coaching bench to fall into a small riot.

Mourinho waved his fist vigorously. He waited for a long time and expressed many times that Hummels and Jimenez needed to fight independently.

In this game, these two guys are finally forced out.

In Mourinho’s tactics, the defensive midfielder is a key position that needs to be liberated. He cannot always be restricted by the defense.

In the current position, Arsenal’s defensive midfielders are always restrained by the defense and cannot fully exert their effectiveness.

But defense is a key part.

Now Hummels and Jimenez are ready to stand up, which is good news for Mourinho or Arsenal.

The game restarts.

Manchester City sent a sideline kick and immediately wanted to attack.

But unlike before, they felt an unusual smell.

Arsenal’s two defensive midfielders are obviously not so close to pressing.

Or rather, they are not that deep anymore.

They can enter Arsenal’s backcourt more easily, but after entering the backcourt, they will immediately face siege.

The final problem is the disconnection of the front midfielder.

The performance of the Arsenal defenders has become more active, and the two full-backs have stepped forward to press more decisively. Sometimes the central defenders even come out to press.

This situation is risky, but Arsenal handled it very well. While sealing the gap, they were able to complete the press.

“Can’t get in!”

Sterling was a little anxious.

Sane on the other side also thinks the same way.

De Bruyne has seen a lot of gaps, but whenever he sees a gap, Le Kai will always move towards that position intentionally or unintentionally.

It seemed to be telling him that once he shot the ball in that direction, Lucky would immediately intercept it.

This also made De Bruyne afraid to play the ball easily.

Manchester City’s offense was actually slightly restricted.

Now they are still behind, this style of play is not very good news.

And there was not much time left in the first half.

“There are still 3 minutes before the end of the first half. Manchester City’s offense has stagnated. They need to find a better way to penetrate!”

Guardiola is also watching the game trend in the field.

Arsenal’s midfielder is no longer retreating too deep, which also makes Manchester City dare not attack with all their strength. Once the attack is cut off by Arsenal, their counterattack will become more fierce.

After all, Lucky’s shot point is a huge threat.

Lucky didn’t retreat too deep, but it made Manchester City more afraid, and the offense became timid.

Time passed little by little, and there was not much time left in the first half.

Manchester City’s offense was still procrastinating, and in the end they failed to kick a threatening shot.

This also shows that Arsenal will start the second half with a one-goal lead.

“gone back!”

Le Kai greeted his teammates to retreat, and when they passed Hummels, the two clapped their hands heavily.

“Good job!”

Lucy took the initiative to praise.

Hummels also smiled and said: “Defense is the job of a defender. I don’t want to be called lazy!”

Lucy smiled and said, “Keep going for the second half!”

Manchester City’s dressing room.

Guardiola is constantly brainwashing Manchester City players.

“You should play more proactively. Don’t be afraid of things that haven’t happened. When you play football, the biggest problem is thinking too much! Complete an attack and make reasonable use of this attack instead of looking forward and backward !”

“Kevin, I need you to pass the ball effectively, but in the second half of the first half, your pass seemed to lose its meaning.”

De Bruyne frowned: “Kay will always appear on my passing line.”

Guardiola: “Yes! He’s always going to be there, that’s something we all know, but just like your pass before, go around him, pass the pass he can’t intercept, this is you You have the ability to do what you want to do.”

“Are there still our forwards? You are playing too conservatively. You should be more proactive. When Sane attacks, pay more attention to the position of your teammates. Don’t focus on dribbling. Pass it out immediately when there is a gap!”

“Sterling! I know you want to dribble and break through, but against Kay, you’re better off passing the ball. I’m not questioning your dribbling ability, but you need to play like this. You need to play for Team for this!”

“Guys, we’re down and we’ve got 45 minutes to tie the game, so take your chances, it’s time for a change!”
