Chapter 1739 Making Changes

Chapter 1739 Making Changes
When the first goal was born, there were only 5 minutes left in the first half.

Although Arsenal took the ball and wanted to complete a quick attack after the kick-off, it was a pity that their offense was blocked when they penetrated into the center of Everton's midfield.

Gan Suo, who had the ball, had not had time to give the ball to Liu Feng, who had already run to the position, but was knocked down by Osman and Fellaini who were actively defending.

For this kind of wonderful defensive cooperation, the referee will naturally not blow the foul whistle just because the offensive player is in the end. Therefore, amidst the huge boos at the Emirates Stadium, it was Everton who completed a quick counterattack.

Fortunately, Granero and De Jong did not penetrate too deep even when the team was eager to equalize.

With the continuous passing, the time soon came to 45 minutes. When Gibson got the pass from Osman and realized that the time was about to run out, he made a pick pass to cooperate with Miralas who was in front of Mertesacker.

Unfortunately, the height of the pick was too low. Mertesacker jumped high and headed the ball to the side, and Everton's offense came to an end.

Subsequently, the referee decisively blew the whistle in his mouth, and the first half of the game also ended.

0-1, Arsenal fell behind at halftime at home. Their opponents were not only solid in defense but also slightly better than them in offense. All in all, they were rarely suppressed at home.

A group of players returned to the locker room. Everyone was sweating profusely. The professor specially gave them time to wipe off their sweat and replenish water. Wenger didn't speak until everyone was seated.

"You should learn from your opponents."

"..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the team members fell silent. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the professor with some puzzled eyes.

"Four times, they only had four successful attacks in their system, and the ball was lying in our goal. Do I need to tell you the number of your attacks?"

Pulling the tactical board, the professor's words are actually quite embarrassing, because Arsenal's offensive chances in the first half are really double that of Everton.

But although they have many offensive opportunities, they don't have the opponent to make a final decision. This is really a shame for the offensive team.

Liu Feng and Gan Suo all lowered their heads, looking awkward for a while.

However, the professor didn't continue to talk about this matter. Even Liu Feng couldn't wear shooting boots every game, and as the team's single arrow, he played the ball several times in the first half to create opportunities for his teammates.

"In the second half, reduce your chances of useless offense and extend the possession of the ball as long as possible."

Pointing his hand on the stamp representing Ganso, the professor glanced at the team members: "Attacking doesn't always require hand-to-hand combat with the opponent. The ball can be given to Granero."

As the team's lagging sub-core, Granero didn't have many chances to perform in the first half, but every time he appeared, the Gunners would definitely be able to complete a high-quality attack.

The meaning of the professor is also very clear. He dragged the ball back and pulled out of the opponent's formation, and then relied on Granero's long pass scheduling ability to launch an attack. Everyone nodded quickly to express their understanding.

"understand!"

"In addition, you can use the opponent's big moves to create some set-piece opportunities in many places. Set-pieces are the hope of scoring goals for them, and the same is true for us."

"Know the boss!"

As early as last season after losing the ball frequently under set-pieces, the professor has been honing the team's set-piece tactics. In terms of offense, their tactical coordination is not necessarily worse than Everton.

"Don't forget where this is. In the second half, I hope to see your changes."

Knocking on the tactical board, the professor put his hands on his ears and made a horn-like signal to the players to listen to the cries of the gun fans outside. Losing at home is really a shameful thing for the Gunners today.

"Understand the coach!"

The players raised their heads and responded loudly, obviously they will still try their best in the second half.

When the door of the locker room was knocked again, a group of players walked out of the locker room and entered the court under the leadership of captain Liu Feng.

In the second half of the game, Arsenal will kick off. Liu Feng and Wilshere stood face to face in front of the tee-off point.

"Shh!"

A whistle sounded, the ball was pushed out, and the game started again.

The Gunners didn't try to attack Everton at first, because their opponents were clearly prepared to stick around during kick-off, except for Miralas who crossed the half-court alone, there were ten visiting players in the Toffees half.

In this case, the players naturally implemented the professor's strategy to firmly control the ball at their feet. As the team's sub-core, Granero took the ball frequently.

Of course, he didn't pass long forwards with his eyes closed. Instead, he operated as the center of the team for a long time, sometimes switching positions with Wilshere.

This has gradually paralyzed some Everton players who stared at him with the ball and worried about his kick.

The stalemate between the two sides lasted for 15 minutes, and until the sixth and 10th minute of the game, Everton still led by one goal.

Sixty-ten minutes seemed to be a node in Everton's tactics. In the situation where the Gunners had endless possession of the ball but did not press on, Toffee finally couldn't help it.

"The ball was cut off at Ganso's feet, Everton attacked again, Osman took the ball across the half, and they started to press heavily."

The four midfielders and two forwards all pushed forward in this attack. This attack was not hasty, and several people continued to pass rotations to move the ball.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the Gunners' defense.

However, De Jong clearly knows who is the real core of the opponent. In the No. 603 minute of the game, when Everton's offensive pass came to Fellaini's feet, the veteran left the ball with a shovel and Fellaini directly dumped it on the field.

Then, he got up and poked the ball directly, and the ball came to Granero's feet.

"Granero received the ball, no one around him pressed for the first time, and sent it with a long pass! Ganso, who had just chased back to the midfield, got the ball!"

Unloading the ball, pulling the ball and turning around, a set of actions was completed in one go. When Gan Suo turned his head and rushed forward, there were only four defenders and goalkeepers in Everton's half.

Although the Gunners' offensive players are only Gan Suo and Liu Feng, and Wilshere and Ramsey are trying their best to keep up quickly from the left and right sides, both Gan Suo and Liu Feng already have a plan.

"Stride forward, Everton's half has become a wide racetrack, Arsenal's counterattack is coming!!!"
