Strong Waist

  Chapter 858 Adjustment and play

  "The midfielder must play a role! I think you all know how passive we played in the first half"

   Pochettino's voice was steady, but with a hint of anger.

  His eyes looked at Eriksson, which made the latter feel a lot of pressure.

   Eriksson's expression is also not good-looking, and no one wants to play badly.

   But he knew very well that when he faced Arsenal, he was too miserable to be suppressed by Lucky in the midfield.

  "In the second half, I will give the midfield some space to play and arrange some help for the midfield. I don't want to see the same situation in the first half."

   Pochettino's voice is sonorous and powerful, with an irrefutable meaning.

   Pochettino is also very anxious at this time, he is confident that this Tottenham team is strong enough.

  They even won the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid and took the top spot in the group, although many people said that Real Madrid itself wants to qualify second in the group.

   But there is no lack of reasons why Tottenham played well.

   For this reason, Pochettino believes that under certain tactical arrangements, they can still beat Arsenal.

  Although Arsenal's recent state and performance are frightening, they are not completely without hope of victory.

   And the basis of all this comes from the fact that the midfield must play a role!

  The midfield is the support point of the entire team, and it is also the position where the ball is touched most frequently. If there is a problem with this position, let alone winning, the whole game will be very difficult.

  In the first half, Harry Kane retreated frequently. It can be said that he was both a father and a mother to sort out the rhythm.

   But in the second half, they can't play like this anymore!

  The Tottenham players are also very aware of this, so during the intermission, they are also thinking about how to play a role.

   On the other side, the atmosphere at Arsenal is more relaxed.

   After all, they have a greater advantage in the second half when they are leading.

   However, just one goal cannot determine the end of the game, and they need more precise guarantees.

  "Our winger is not decisive enough. In fact, there is no need to always try to get the ball. If possible, it is not impossible to cut in and shoot directly!"

   Giroud offered to propose.

  As a center forward, he naturally hopes that his teammates can pass the ball to him more.

  But from the perspective of the overall game, after the wing attack is opened, it will help him more.

  "They follow very closely, and the central defender will come to restrict at any time!"

   Aubameyang said.

   Giroud: "I will restrain the central defender, but the time cannot be too long, so you have to adjust as soon as possible to shoot!"

  With Giroud's guarantee, this made Aubameyang a little more confident.

  In fact, Aubameyang is also trying to change now.

  When he was in Dortmund in the past, he was the Hornet's scoring leader and the absolute core of offense.

  But after coming to Arsenal, he has been systemized a lot, and he is more inclined to pass the ball in offense.

   It cannot be said that he did not play decisively enough, but that he was too team-based.

  Sometimes, I want the wingers to play selfishly to open the gap on the wing.

   This is exactly what Arsenal need.

   Mane himself is a team player, they don't need both wings to be such players.

   "In terms of defense, our problem is not big!"

  Hummels said; "However, we can connect the midfield more closely, especially after the full-back advances, the midfielder needs to be filled immediately!"

   Kanter nodded immediately; "I will respond faster."

   Le Kai also said loudly: "I will also fill the seat!"

  Actually, they didn’t think about letting Lucky fill in. After all, Lucky has more functions. Even if he can’t fill, Lucky can also bring defensive help.

  Of course, if retracement is the safest way.

  Furthermore, Le Kai himself was born as a full-back, and he also played the role of a full-back before, so he has enough experience.

   It can be said that Lucky is at the position of full-back, except for his slower speed, his other abilities are top-notch.

  Arsenal players are also communicating frequently during the half-time break, making up for deficiencies, and at the same time exchanging information.

   Mourinho looked at this kind of communication and nodded, this is the ideal state of the team.

  Not proud of winning, nor too frustrated by losing.

  Progress in communication and complement each other in communication.

   Soon, the intermission is over.

  The players on both sides cheered for each other, shouting slogans loudly and walking out of the locker room.

  After rest and adjustments, both sides have their own adjustment methods for the second half.

  Erickson patted his cheek lightly to make himself more awake.

  He increased his hand strength and patted his cheeks a little red. Under the slight pain, his expression became more fierce.

   "Be sure to show!"

   Eriksson was on fire.

  He was dissatisfied with his performance in the first half, and he was also angry with his performance.

   You can't just give in blindly. Once you make a concession, the opponent will make more progress.

  He needs to play more aggressively.

   In the second half, Tottenham took the lead in kicking off.

   After the kick-off, Tottenham suddenly launched some sneak attacks.

  After Eriksson's position was withdrawn, he had more room to play.

  Put the ball directly in front of Sun Xingmin, and the latter runs after the ball.

  Son Xingmin shoveled the ball to the center ahead of Bellerin.

  Harry Kane raged at the ball, and the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

  Harry Kane held his head regretfully.

   This is his third shot in the game, and he hit the goal frame twice, but he was not very lucky.

  He was desperate to score and equalize.

   On the Arsenal side, there was constant loud communication during this defense.

   "Bellerin! Don't go forward to attack, come here while ensuring your position, I can deal with it myself!"

  Kanter turned his head and spoke rarely.

   Bellerin also nodded heavily. In fact, in that attack just now, he almost missed Sun Xingmin.

  Fortunately, they took advantage of the opponent's adjustment time to block.

  Although the blockage could not be completed, it also played a slightly influential role.

  Sun Xingmin's cross is not of high quality, even with Harry Kane, no matter how strong he is, he can't hit this kind of ball into the goal.

  However, there are problems.

   "Focus! Focus on the game!"

   Lucky shouted at his teammates.

   This is what Le Kai often reminds his teammates.

  90 minutes of the game is very long, and in such a long game, it is difficult to maintain absolute concentration to last 90 minutes.

   For this reason, players often have the problem of distraction.

   This is the inevitable result of a lot of mental and physical exertion.

  Even Lucky had this situation.

   For this reason, he needs to remind his teammates over and over again, so that they can squeeze out the remaining concentration.

  Arsenal's players also began to cheer up.

   They are only one goal ahead now, which is not insurance.

   Moreover, Tottenham's offense has slowly picked up.

  Tottenham's offense began to show scale.

  The main reason is that Eriksson's position was retreated, and his performance was also inspired.

   Pochettino's choice is very good. After Ali and Eriksson's position calls, the latter's performance is even better.

  Actually, Ali's performance in the central midfielder position is not very good, he is more to cooperate with the Koreans.

   But far less comprehensive than Eriksson.

   At this time, after Eriksson came to this position, he can better distribute the ball to the left and right sides, or directly form a connection with Harry Kane.

   For this reason, Tottenham's offense gradually became less effective.

  "Tottenham have begun to exert their strength, and the midfield adjustment is still very effective. Eriksson is not as invisible as in the first half. This is very good news!"

   "Perhaps we can expect Eriksson to connect with Harry Kane, thus stimulating Tottenham's offensive ability!"

  As the commentator said, Tottenham’s offense was initiated from the central axis and slowly spread towards the two sides.

  Harry Kane's choice in the frontcourt became the direction of Tottenham's attack.

  And after Eriksson played a role, Harry Kane became much less courageous.

  He doesn't always need to adjust in the center, but starts pulling on the left and right sides as well.

  The two wingers also often crossed positions with Harry Kane, which put Arsenal's defense in a certain predicament.

   However, these are not enough to create scoring opportunities!
