Chapter 124 Mercury's Attack

"Beautiful forward run, great screen."

Henry in the VIP area also stood up excitedly.

Seeing the expressionless Pixie, he coughed a few times, adjusted his suit, and said, "For the goal just now, the player in charge of marking Koscielny was blocked and did not follow closely. Koscielny scored with a header without defense."

"Oh!"

Pixie replied lightly.

Henry was a little curious. Wasn't it just to feel the passionate atmosphere of the stadium when he came to watch the game?
Why is she indifferent, shouldn't there be that moment of blood spurting, which makes people feel numb all over?
"By the way, Miss Lotter, what size does your favorite player wear?"

Henry vaguely felt that she might be a fan of the visiting team, so when the home team scored, she was indifferent.

Pixie turned to Henry with a smile and said, "I don't know now, but he used to wear the No. 14 jersey."

number 14?
Isn't it my number?

Now retired, so there is no number.

I'm just talking about myself.

Just as Henry was harvesting a celebrity fan girl, there was another shout on the court.

Leicester City lost the ball in the midfield. Ozil received a pass from his teammate in the middle circle, turned around, took a look, and sent a precise through ball to the right.

The little tiger Walcott quickly moved forward. After entering the penalty area, he first made a fake shot and made a real dunk, shaking Upson's defense, and hit the goal with his left foot, which went slightly wide.

During this period, Arsenal seized the momentum after the goal and continued to take the offensive, retreating to the Leicester City team who was very far back, almost giving up the midfielder.

Schlupp and Mahrez were suppressed for half the time. Not only could they not attack forward, they had to shrink their defense to the center, otherwise they were very likely to be attacked by Arsenal's two full-backs.

After Cesc Fabregas left Arsenal at his own expense, the team lacked a midfield playmaker. Wenger had to make changes, allowing two full-backs to attack the opponent's penalty area and even score goals, simplifying the offense.

The wingers and full-backs switch positions frequently, allowing them to switch freely between the two positions, and the wings are very active.

But in the frontcourt, Wenger still hopes to use coordination to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Although Ozil's ability is not as comprehensive as Cesc Fabregas, his possession and protection of the ball and key passes can also bring changes to the team.

In the 15th minute, Özil kicked suddenly from the left and swept the ball to the goal. Sanchez, who grabbed the spot, missed it.

Due to the inability of the Leicester City team to compete for control of the midfield, the Arsenal team took advantage of it and began to conduct on the periphery.

After Arteta was injured and absent, only Cazorla was able to advance forward and play high-quality cooperation with the frontcourt players.

Another defensive midfielder Kirkland is responsible for the protection, interception and stealing tasks of the midfield.

His excellent defensive ability allowed him to gradually dominate the backcourt defense and become Arsenal's toughest waist.

"Kirkland is very active in running and has a large defensive coverage. He can check for gaps and make up for gaps in the first place. He is the team's midfield 'sentinel'." Henry couldn't help but admire.

In his playing era, it was the unbeaten 49 rounds, Arsenal's iron waist was Vieira.

With Kirkland as the barrier behind and Cazorla as the brain behind to organize the team's offense, coupled with the skills and dribbling of Ozil and Rosicky, the Arsenal of beautiful football is back.

In the 20th minute, Arsenal counterattacked from the backcourt, Kirkland scored the ball, Sanchez passed the ball with his heel, and Cazorla scored it to Ozil on the left.

With just three passes, he played half of the Leicester City team. Ozil broke through with the ball from the side, and passed the ball into the penalty area on the edge of the penalty area.

Sanchez attracted the attention of two central defenders, and when he was unable to shoot directly, he headed back to Walcott.

The little tiger shot furiously and ran straight to the lower left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Schwarzer flew to catch the ball and saved the ball out of the baseline.

Hey!
The entire Emirates Stadium let out a sigh. If the goal is scored, it will be a textbook counterattack.

There were frequent threats in front of the goal, and goalkeeper Schwarzer roared to remind his teammates to pay attention to defense.

Arsenal took a corner kick, Morgan didn't give Koscielny a chance, and pushed it out first.

But the ball was on the perimeter and once again returned to Arsenal's control.

Pearson kept scratching his head in the command area. After losing the midfielder, the team's defensive pressure was too great, especially a team with strong ball possession ability like Arsenal.

Whether it is a counterattack or a positional battle, Arsenal uses active running positions to keep the team's overall rhythm constantly accelerating.

In the 8th round of the Premier League last season, Arsenal took advantage of such quicksilver cooperation. In a narrow range, Cazorla, Giroud and Wilshere passed the ball consecutively.

Norwich's defensive players and goalkeeper, being played like stakes, barely reacted, watching the ball go into the net.

Pearson doesn't want his team to be the backdrop for the opponent's classic goals, allowing players to man-to-man defense, so that the ball can't be surpassed.

In order to temporarily contain Arsenal's offense, Leicester City had to use fouls to stop it.

Danny Simpson and Matthew James Upson received yellow cards one after another, which made the team's defensive strength even worse.

What should be done?

He looked anxiously to the bench, trying to find players who could change the current predicament.

Well?
I saw Rossi pointing at the field with one hand, while talking to Drinkwater.

The latter looked like a student, listening with gusto, and sometimes showed an expression of "that's it".

When I was explaining the tactics, this guy never listened so fascinated, why is he so fascinated now, as if he plunged headfirst into it.

Pearson was even more curious.

Well?
Craig also joined in and pointed at the field.

These three people actually had a small meeting when they were behind?

Pearson took a few steps closer, only to hear Rossi say: "Like them changing positions frequently, the winger's physical fitness must not be able to support after 70 minutes, and Cazorla and Rosicky are not young, injuries have always been a problem , as long as two people are restricted, even if Ozil on the wing can pass, there is no high point in the middle."

These Pearsons are of course very clear, but the fundamental problem has not been solved, that is, their strong midfield ball control ability.

Arsenal's passing and cutting can make everyone in the frontcourt an offensive terminator, and even the full-backs can participate in offensive cooperation.

Their one-foot pass is very skillful. Even if they limit Cazorla and Rosicky at the first time, they cannot defend their off-ball running.

What's wrong with me, I think players will have better tactics, it's just rhetoric, on paper.

Pearson smiled wryly, laughing at himself for being stupid, to listen to the views and suggestions of the substitute players on the game.

What a disease.

"If we continue to defend, we will lose the ball sooner or later. While we are only one goal behind, we can attack properly and see the effect. It is better than being under pressure."

Rossi's words made Pearson's back go numb.

He has also been an offensiveist, using pressing to press, stealing and then launching a quick counter-attack.

But after being promoted to the Premier League, losing consecutive games made him a little timid. He didn't even dare to attack against strong teams, and wanted to use a conservative method to win a tie.

But the background of a wealthy team is not something you can defend if you want to.

If it is defensive, it will give the opponent the ability to give full play to their characteristics.

Hey!
The amazement of the fans transformed Pearson from thinking mode into nervous mode.

Needless to say, Arsenal must have attacked.

I saw Rosicky use his elegant dribbling, swayed past Schlupp's defense, and passed a freehand pass with the outside instep, piercing the entire defense line.

Walcott moved forward smartly, using his speed to eat Morgan raw, and before supporting the defense of central defender Huth, he shot a low shot and hit the dead corner below the goal.

[GOAL! ! ! 】

[The ball was scored, Arsenal's frontcourt counterattacked, the mercury plunged into the hinterland of Leicester City, and Walterk scored with a low shot. 】

[A healthy Walcott is definitely a world-class winger with impeccable speed, skill and shooting. 】

[The first half is almost over, and Leicester City still can't defend. 】

[2:0! 】

[Arsenal is one step closer to the top four. 】
