Strong Waist

"Eriksson takes a long shot! Do it yourself! This shot is so urgent!"

Andy Gray shook his head.

After entering the second half, Arsenal put on a defensive posture, which made Tottenham's offense even more difficult to use.

In this case, Tottenham became even more anxious.

Their limitations are beginning to be exposed, and everyone wants to score quickly and establish an advantage.

But the more this happened, the worse they played.

Eriksen, in particular, played very well in the first half, but after entering the second half, due to the change in mentality, the overall style was no longer calm.

There are less left and right dispatches, and more penetrating passes from front to back and straight up and down.

But how can Arsenal allow you to pass such a penetrating pass so easily? It can be said that you will encounter Arsenal's defensive trap every time, even offside.

In the end, Tottenham's offense became difficult to maintain. Combined with the anxious mentality, shooting and passing became rough.

"Eriksson should adjust his mentality. He can't be messy here!"

Andy Gray shook his head.

Richard also suggested: "Eriksson is the core of Tottenham's offense. If his position is messed up, the offense will become less threatening."

Other Spurs fans thought the same thing.

But they didn't understand the pressure on Eriksen at this time.

After experiencing the first half of the game, Eriksen's physical energy consumption was too great, and his entire energy was also consumed.

It can be said that they have been able to persist until now, and they have used all their strength to suck milk.

At the same time, Eriksson also knows that if he wants to win, he must do something.

No one in Tottenham's lineup can replace Eriksen's job or even give him enough help.

Arsenal's Wilshere, if he has problems with rhythm, can even be suppressed.

He can pass back to protect and at the same time give up the rhythm. After all, there is a stronger Lucai standing behind him.

This is Wilshere's biggest guarantee.

It is also based on this guarantee that Wilshere is always so unhurried and has enough confidence.

What about Erikson?

Who can tell him the truth?

Once he goes down, Tottenham's offense is finished.

Therefore, he wants to try his best to bring some scoring opportunities to the team when he is on the court.

So, can he not be anxious?

He also knows that rushing cannot solve the problem, but Tottenham's situation is such that he cannot make any adjustments.

At this stage, Tottenham are under offensive pressure.

They must use more intense offense to force something out of Arsenal.

Otherwise, Arsenal would be able to take over the game calmly after the first wave of substitutions.

Arsenal, on the other hand, was very stable. They were not affected at all. While organizing their defense, they waited for the moment when the opponent could no longer hold on.

"Don't stand near the front!"

"Keep an eye on your own people!"

“After pushing forward, you must retreat!”

Lucky continued to direct from the backcourt.

Compared to others, Lucky is more experienced in the Champions League finals.

He also knows how to win games.

For this reason, he also passed on his experience to the players in step-by-step command and defense.

Under Lucky's command, Arsenal's defense is impregnable.

Tottenham desperately wanted to tear apart Arsenal's defense, but there was no way.

On the other hand, Arsenal can use the opportunity of counterattack to put great defensive pressure on Tottenham.

At present, it seems that Tottenham is attacking, but Arsenal still has the initiative on the scene.

After all, compared to Tottenham, Arsenal's thinking about winning is clearer, and they know when to do something.

On the sidelines, Pochettino looked helpless.

He glanced at Arsenal's head coach Mourinho, and then looked at Arsenal's bench.

It can be said that the stars are shining brightly.

Lukaku and Dembe come, these two players are a huge deterrent when they are there.

There are also previous champions such as Koscielny and Monreal.

In terms of young players, Saka and Odegaard also make the Gunners' future no longer worrying.

Compared with Tottenham, who are out of schedule and need to maintain the lineup through "headache" transfers, Arsenal has completed the rationalization of the team's age group structure and is also making strides towards the future.

It can be said that if the confidence and funds given to Mourinho by Arsenal's senior management are given to Pochettino, he will not be in such difficulty.

At this time, Tottenham encountered this dilemma and it can be said that they suffered the consequences.

No money is given to expand the strength of the lineup.

How can I win this game?

Sometimes, Pochettino even secretly thought in his heart that Tottenham chairman Levy kept saying that he was willing to provide any support in order to win the final.

But what’s the use of empty words?

Where's the money?

At the same time, in the VIP room, Usmanov said with emotion: "In order to build the lineup, we spent a lot of money in two years, and even gambled on loan issues, but the harvest was still very good. Because of this, We can get so many good players.”

The UEFA officials listened in admiration.

After all, transfers are very helpful to the construction of European football, and they also encourage this kind of investment that does not damage the transfer market.

But this sentence was a bit harsh in Levi's ears.

In the past, when Kroenke was the chairman of Arsenal, even if he was scolded, there was always Kroenke to back him up.

Levi is a vampire, so why not Kroenke?

But since Kroenke was ousted by the Russians, Levi is the only chairman who has been accused of being "stingy".

Sometimes, he is also under a lot of pressure.

On the one hand, they have to fight with the club on how to reduce expenses and keep wages as low as possible.

On the other hand, you have to spend some money to show your efforts in building the club.

Levi is a businessman through and through.

In his view, Usmanov’s investment without regard to income is just messing around.

Of course, Usmanov also made a lot of money in return from Arsenal.

But Levi doesn't think he can do it on this scale. This thing depends on fate. He just needs to let Tottenham make money for him.

"It's almost 65 minutes!"

At this time, someone suddenly said something.

Everyone's expressions became serious.

This interval of 65-70 minutes is the beginning of the first wave of substitutions.

Of course, sometimes it will be earlier, but most of the time, the team will choose this range to make substitutions and reinforcements.

This time period is also extremely embarrassing for Tottenham.

After experiencing wild bombardment, they failed to score a goal, and Eriksson's physical fitness was on the verge of exhaustion.

This means that Tottenham must make substitutions.

And the most important thing is Arsenal.

Lukaku and Dembele have already stood up again and started to warm up.

Arsenal also need to make substitutions.

After this substitution, offense and defense switched.

Tottenham's defense has been exhausted by Mane and Giroud.

Now, here comes another battering ram, Lukaku and Dembe.

How should Tottenham respond?

If these two points cannot be guarded, Aubameyang will take off, and then Tottenham's defense will sink completely.

Beep!

The ball is dead in the pitch.

Arsenal fell down and made a substitution.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the Tottenham players became extremely heavy.

They failed to score after all, and Arsenal ushered in the first wave of substitutions.

Seeing Arsenal's substitutions, Tottenham also immediately made substitution adjustments.

At the very least, Eriksen needs to be replaced, he really can't run anymore.

Arsenal substitution.

Giroud and Mane exited.

Lukaku and Dembe come on.

The position remains the same, but the tactics are closer to attacking.

Tottenham also made substitutions.

Eriksen and Winks exit.

Lucas and Llorente come on.

Two midfielders come off and two strikers come on.

Tottenham are desperate. They can only choose to bite the bullet and fight Arsenal.

As for the dominance of the midfield, after Eriksen came off the field, they had no choice but to give it up.

Off the court, Eriksen was wearing a towel, his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

At this time, Eriksson was still a little frustrated.

He has tried very hard, but he still cannot pry open Arsenal's defense.

He was no longer able to influence the direction of the game. He was a little unwilling, but also a little relieved.

At least in this Champions League final, he really tried his best.
