Chapter 802： wetlands

Arsenal equalized the score in the last few minutes, which also made the Arsenal fans take a long breath.

The process of the game was much more difficult than they imagined. Sure enough, Liverpool was not an easy opponent to deal with.

During the intermission, the Arsenal players returned to the locker room.

Seeing Mourinho walk in, Lucky got up and offered to apologize.

"Sorry, sir, I changed the tactics without authorization!"

As the most direct participant in the game, sometimes players will also make some tactical changes. Lucky is not alone.

But after all, this is suspected of overstepping, and it is a challenge to the position of the head coach.

But Mourinho did not reprimand him, but beckoned Lucy to sit down.

Immediately, he took off his jacket, pulled the tactical board directly, and signaled everyone to look over.

When everyone looked at him, Mourinho said loudly; "In the second half, we will continue the previous style of play!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Mourinho; "Pull the bus!"

Lucy and the others were astonished.

It was a helpless move for them to set up the bus before, and it was also a tactical adjustment.

But they didn't expect Mourinho to bring it up again.

But will Arsenal set up a bus?

The answer is yes.

As Mourinho's team, it is impossible to know how to drive the bus.

Arsenal will not only put it, but do it well.

However, putting on a bus is not good-looking, and it will always be criticized. Many people also said that it is killing the artistry of football tactics.

But for Mourinho, these are not important.

Winning is everything.

And Mourinho was faintly excited at this time.

"The tactics you changed in the first half were good, but they lacked some key things. The first is the formation problem. 4-3-3 cannot fully play this style of play. In the second half, the formation was changed to 4-5-1. !"

Lucky was silent.

Mourinho directly pointed out the key points of tactics, and he is worthy of being a world-class defensive master.

Lucky’s tactics are actually not called tactics, but an evolution of tactics.

This is based on the way Watford played against Liverpool in the 19-20 season. They defended intensively in the backcourt, forced the opponent to pass the ball laterally, and waited for opportunities to complete the counterattack.

Lucky didn’t know if this tactic was effective, but at that time there was a need to stabilize the defense and there were some changes, so Lucky boldly used it.

Teammates are highly sensitive to tactics and can cooperate quickly, and Lucky is always directing the defense, which completes the construction.

Judging from the previous performance, the effect is good.

On the other side, Liverpool is a bit battered.

Arsenal suddenly changed their style of play, which was completely beyond their expectations.

And even if Klopp knew the threat of this style of play, he couldn't find a way to restrain it in a short time.

It is difficult to make decisions for a while.

In the end, they could only try to be as stable as possible and continue the rhythm of the mid-air midfield.

Soon, the intermission is over.

The two sides drew in the first half.

"After the start of the second half, Arsenal's tactics changed, maintaining the relatively conservative style of play in the first half." Paul Merson frowned slightly.

He felt Mourinho's bad habits reappeared.

Mourinho likes to drive the bus, this is a well-known thing.

After coming to Arsenal, he has performed very well in formation for a whole season, but this season, his old problem seems to be committed again.

After all, for many people, bus rides are not the game they want to see.

This passive and uninteresting way of playing is annoying to many people, even the home fans.

But based on Arsenal's previous equalization, they endured it.

Perhaps this style of play has a miraculous effect?

On the other hand, Klopp in the coaching bench on the other side became more and more anxious.

Compared to the first half, Arsenal became more determined in this style of play in the second half.

Moreover, the suitability of the formation and position has also become higher.

If the first half was more of a counterattack, the second half was a complete bust.

But even so, when Klopp mobilized the midfielder at Arsenal, he felt a bit of coldness in the running positions of individual players.

Arsenal is defending!

But they control the rhythm of the game!

This is such an uncomfortable horse!

Liverpool seems to be stuck in a swamp, unable to use it arbitrarily.

Klopp off the field feels this way, not to mention the Liverpool players on the field.

"What the **** is going on!"

Chen Man was so depressed.

The ball is not passed in place, and there is no space to advance.

Looking around, they are all from Arsenal. Their own players are unable to enter the defense, as if they are firmly imprisoned by a wall.

Not only Chen Slow, but also Phelps and Salah were completely isolated.

They have a strong sense of fragmentation, looking at the teammates who can't pass in, they can only be anxious.

Time passed a little bit, and Liverpool still couldn't score Arsenal's goal.

They also started to get anxious.

For Arsenal, it is an away game. They can accept an away draw, but Liverpool can't!

They are going to score three points at home!

To put it bluntly, it is Liverpool who have more offensive pressure.

Liverpool is a team that is good at attacking, and now their impact is being perfectly offset by Arsenal.

Mourinho off the field staring at the field.

He also looked forward to the next changes in his heart.

For Arsenal, it is currently waiting in this defensive stance.

Waiting for the moment when Liverpool can't bear it and makes mistakes and flaws on its own initiative.

This is the core idea of ​​the bus tactic.

Using a solid defense to force the opponent to actively make mistakes!

Use this to penetrate the opponent's goal with a sharp counterattack.

The time came to 80 minutes a little bit, and Liverpool finally couldn't help it.

The two full-backs began to advance frequently, using the advantage of numbers to stir up Arsenal's defense.

The two full-backs' lapping forward certainly added a certain amount of defensive pressure.

But it also shows that there is an opportunity to take advantage of.

Arsenal is still waiting for the time to come.

"Henderson gave the ball to Salah, Alexander-Arnold went forward, Salah sent a through ball, Bellerin moved laterally to block, the ball flew to the middle circle, Giroud and Van Dijk In the fight for the top, the two fought fiercely, Giroud! Got the top, Kai!!"

Giroud returned the ball in front of Lucky in the top fight.

Facing the falling ball, Le Kai slammed it fiercely and shouted at the same time: "Pierre! Run!!"

Aubameyang started quickly. When the full-back advanced, he ran at full speed like no one in the land.

Liverpool's goalkeeper also saw that the central defender could not retreat immediately, and immediately abandoned the goal.

Both are running towards the ball.

But Aubameyang is significantly faster.

But at this time, the Liverpool goalkeeper Karius has no turning back, so he can only bite the bullet and rush forward.

Aubameyang came to the ball's landing point first. He paused for a moment in the face of the fall, and made a gesture to stop the ball. Karius, who was deceived, stopped immediately.

At this moment, Aubameyang started again.

The ball also hit the ground and flew over Karius' head.

"Aubameyang! Facing the empty goal!!"

Paul Molson roared with passion!

Facing the second falling ball, Aubameyang easily scored with a push.

In 82 minutes, Arsenal broke through Liverpool's goal again.

A wonderful goal scored by Aubameyang!

"Aubameyang's calm handling helped Arsenal bring in the second goal. Liverpool scored the first goal. The situation took a turn for the worse. Now they are one goal behind at home, and the time left for Liverpool has run out. Not much left!"

Liverpool fans at the scene hugged their heads one by one.

They looked at the stadium in disbelief. They obviously had a good start, but they were stunned by Arsenal's bus to overtake the score.

After the whole game, except for the initial stage, Liverpool played a bit badly.

Especially after entering the second half, they clearly controlled the ball, but failed to score any goals.

Instead, Arsenal used a counterattack to score a winning goal.

Arsenal players celebrated wantonly at Anfield.

Mourinho came to a slide track even more passionately.

Looking at the coach's bench on the other side, Klopp shook his head helplessly.

Thousands of calculations failed to reach this point.

Facing Arsenal's sudden change in style of play, he was caught off guard.
