Red Rebels

"Beckham took the ball on the right and handed it to Kaka who retreated to respond. Under the interference of Vieira, Kaka passed to the feet of Palacio on the right. Clichy stopped his position and Palacio Ao couldn't get rid of it, so he could only knock back!"

It was the first time that Maicon appeared in the hinterland of Arsenal in this game. He turned a blind eye to Henry and Pires behind him, and after receiving the ball, he sent it forward and sent it behind Clichy.

Clichy is not slow, but he still has to turn around, and Palacio speeds up to catch the ball before Clichy.

At this time, Sigan also came to help defend. Palacio failed to create a chance and could only return the ball. After receiving the ball, Maicon directly kicked and passed the ball. Under the interference of Campbell, Drogba in the middle failed to pass the ball. The positive part of the top of the ball.

The strong confrontation between Drogba and Campbell, the two black big men, is also a highlight of this game. Both of them are big and powerful players.

"Judging from the previous 15 minutes, Campbell's defense against Drogba is still in place!" Andy Gray laughed.

Drogba is also a nightmare for many Premier League teams, because his strong body, better technique and ability to stop the ball make him more and more difficult to deal with, and he now has an excellent stop and turn to hit the goal ability.

Campbell has competed with Drogba, and he knows Drogba's progress best.

The current African elephant king can't say that his running position is coquettish, his shooting is not precise, and his technique is not clever, but once you give him a chance, his non-coquettish running position can always reach the fatal point. Inaccurate shots but always able to blast a powerful shot, and his ingenious technique is always brilliant.

And in one-on-one, Drogba became more confident.

This is also the most obvious change for the players. They are very good at one-on-one. It is said that they consciously strengthen one-on-one offense and defense during training, but who knows how they practice?

"The two full-backs started to move forward frequently. Both Evra and Maicon are fast and have good skills. The two wingers also consciously give up their positions to create space for them to move forward."

"Evra made a strong charge, went to the bottom line, faced Lauren, dunked the ball and knocked the ball back to Robben behind him, Robben dribbled the ball to the middle and cut, fortunately Vieira cleared the ball out of the sideline in time! "

Robben waved his hand in frustration. If he had accelerated just now, he might have passed Vieira, but Vieira was very experienced, so he made a ruthless tackle to clear the siege without fouling.

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, saw that the recent side attacks had worked well, obviously suppressing Arsenal, so he smiled and nodded towards Beckham on the field, who immediately knew the coach's intentions.

In the next few attacks, the attack of the full-backs was obviously strengthened, and Beckham's points were more often distributed to the two sides.

Arsenal's two full-backs Ljungberg and Pires didn't retreat deep enough. They were more cruising in front, waiting for opportunities. Only when they stabilized the ball in the backcourt, they would intercept it symbolically. This puts a lot of pressure on the defenders behind them, especially the two full-backs.

Once the full-backs advance forward, a 2-on-1 situation is formed in the narrow wing area, especially in the Arsenal half, neither Pires nor Ljungberg retreated so deep.

The wings are restricted, and the support of Vieira and Gilberto Silva is very important. In this way, the restrictions on Kaka, Beckham and Drogba in the center are weakened.

Drogba, Kaka, Arjen Robben and Palacio's frontcourt four-man attacking combination is very tacit, very mobile, and their running positions echo each other. This makes it difficult for Arsenal to take care of them when defending them. .

Wenger is well aware of this, he was a bit surprised by the attacking performance after the start, but his team defended after the start, but now the situation is critical.

what to do?

A message immediately flashed in Wenger's mind, that is, to add a defensive midfielder, strengthen the defense,

But this requires replacing an offensive player. Isn't this going to weaken the team's offensive power?

This made Wenger hesitate!

But when he hesitated, he scored first!

……………… Evra launched an attack from the left and passed it to Robben who cut inside. Robben passed it to Drogba’s feet. Knock, Kaka slapped him from the side.

Although Xigan tried his best to come over and put in a shovel, Kaka had no choice but to touch the ball first. One pass, speed up, and a low shot near the corner, 0:1!

Lehman was so angry that he grabbed the ball from the net and kicked it into the midfield to vent his anger.

This time the attack was initiated from the right, but after the attack on the right was unsuccessful, Beckham moved to the left with a big foot, Evra stopped the ball near the middle circle, Ljungberg did not post it in time, so that he could calm down into the Arsenal half.

After the goal, Kaka pointed to the sky and muttered words, which must be prayers like thanking God. This is also his habit after scoring a goal. After he finished the celebration ceremony, his teammates ran over to him celebrate.

"Arsenal should have realized the attacking routine long ago. The two full-backs are not enough to restrict the full-backs. Ljungberg should have labeled Evra at that time. He should learn how Robben dealt with Lauren!" Andy ? Gray said with a sigh.

In the opening 15 minutes, Arsenal and both played well, and both sides had opportunities, but after 15 minutes, they took the lead in making adjustments, and they were very fatal adjustments, but Arsenal did not make a move for a long time.

Wenger obviously didn't expect to lose the ball, and he was a little surprised, but he quickly turned around and yelled something loudly at the assistant behind him, obviously he was not in a good mood at this time.

But the worst is coming again!

Less than 2 minutes after the goal, Henry dribbled the ball from the left and was tackled by Essien. After receiving the ball, Maicon ran all the way to the Arsenal half. Facing the teenager Chrissy, he passed the ball to Parra Theo, who caught Clichy's attention, slid forward, and Maicon's back line was plugged in and then went to the bottom line.

At this time, the support point in the middle was already in place, and Maicon directly kicked a ground ball and passed it to the front point. Xigan was in place in time this time and made a big-foot clearance, but who would have thought that his clearance ball did not go far. Xin headed the ball to Beckham who was nearby.

After Beckham stopped the ball, he kicked a banana ball. Lehmann was beyond his reach, and could only watch the ball hit the net, 0:2!

"Goal again! Oh my god, Beckham, he took a long shot and made another goal, 0:2, Arsenal's game is going to be difficult!" Andy Gray exclaimed.

If the first goal was a bit of a surprise, then the second goal was a complete defeat.

"Arsenal's two wingers are almost hit by one. If Wenger doesn't make adjustments in time, I'm afraid..."

Andy Gray hasn't finished his sentence yet, who knows if it's another quick attack from the right or the cooperation of Maicon and Palacio, but Palacio's cross is too close to the goal and Lehmann strikes out He took it off in the air, but he roared at his teammates.

Conceding two goals in one game, this is something that Lehmann has never encountered since he came to the Premier League. There has never been a team that can score him two goals in one game this season, which makes the proud Lyman was ashamed.

"After Mourinho's adjustment, the offensive is surging, and Arsenal's defense is in jeopardy. Should Wenger make timely adjustments?" Andy Gray suggested.

If the first 15 minutes were calm, then the next 10 minutes can be said to be a sudden change. Mourinho only made a small adjustment, but he completely activated the frontcourt attack, especially Maicon on the right. He was very active and frequently caused trouble on Arsenal's left.

"Maybe we should replace a striker with a defensive player, strengthen our defense, and then use Henry to fight back!" Martin Taylor also gave his own suggestion.

Although it is inevitable that there is suspicion of showing weakness, in the final analysis, this game has a lot to do with it.

Edu and Parlor are both players with good defensive abilities, and playing them can make up for Arsenal's defensive shortcomings.

However, although Wenger looked serious, he obviously didn't intend to make a substitution. He just signaled that his attacking players in the frontcourt should retreat more to protect the two wings.

To be honest, the two-wing offensive routine used in this game is too sharp, which Wenger did not expect before, especially in the face of Henry, Pires, Ljungberg and other wingers. Rinho dared to let Evra and Maicon boldly press on.

These two players are indeed very capable. They can attack well, and they can also defend well. Among them, Evra has already had 5 tackles in the first half an hour, and Ljungberg has not taken advantage of him. Even a little bit cheaper.

Watching the outstanding performance of the players, Wenger felt very uncomfortable. From the perspective of this season's performance alone, Evra is more stable and outstanding than Ashley Cole. If he is there, Wenger will now There is no need to worry about the left back candidate.

After conceding two goals in a row, the Arsenal players woke up from a trance. They became anxious, their movements increased frequently, and they fought fiercely. Vieira, in particular, frequently called out his frontcourt teammates to actively participate in the counter-attack, which made The offensive is no longer as fierce as before.

"If Arsenal had dealt with the current momentum and vigor from the very beginning, I believe that the situation of conceding two goals in a row within 3 minutes would not have happened. Now sitting on two goals in hand, they played more calmly and sophisticatedly. Especially in the midfield, they almost have the advantage!"

"Heh, this is what many professionals from the outside world are calling for. They believe that the era of 4231 is coming, and 5 midfielders will allow the team to better occupy the midfield. Judging from this game, Beckham and Eric Sim certainly played a crucial role in the first half as they cut off the link between Arsenal's backline and the front line." Martin Taylor was happy to analyze the tactics with the lead.

Andy Gray had no choice but to nod in agreement, "In the past, Arsenal relied on two full-backs to connect the defensive midfielders and forwards, but Maicon and Evra moved forward, and the full-backs were useless. Essien's blockage in the middle has made Arsenal's midfield and striker out of touch. If Wenger can't solve this problem in the next game, I believe there will be no suspense in this game!"

When he said this, Andy Gray was a little helpless.

As a neutral football commentator, he is very happy to see a brilliant confrontation, but now judging from the situation on the field, it has become an almost one-sided situation. Arsenal can indeed control the ball , but too many are in the dangerous backcourt.

Not allowing Arsenal's players to easily hold the ball in the frontcourt, and cutting off the connection between the midfield and the forward line, Henry was almost useless in the front.

On the other hand, they gained the advantage of the midfield, so that they can smoothly send the ball into Arsenal's hinterland, and the full-backs advance, so that the attacking force is sufficient, forming a very good offensive level, a wave of ruthless In a wave, Arsenal's defense is in jeopardy and danger is everywhere.

But at this critical juncture, Wenger did not respond for a long time, but dragged the game into the intermission.
