Chapter 139 Arsenal’s confidence in counterattacking!

Boas's confidence is certainly justified.

Because his team performed really well after the start of the season.

Especially on the offensive end.

Sixteenth minute of the game.

Tottenham, playing at home, played exquisite coordination in the midfield and penetrated Arsenal's defense.

"Eriksson moved the ball beautifully! Very accurate!!"

the narrator chanted.

The Dane's long pass crossed the entire midfield diagonally and landed accurately in front of Townsend.

Townsend didn't need to slow down. He quickly caught up with the ball and vigorously swept the ball towards the edge of the penalty area.

After getting the ball, Lamela faked a shot and passed the ball to Soldado in the penalty area.

Soldado didn't score in the first two games, but the reason why he can still start is because the Spaniard is really alive.

Soldado, who debuted in Real Madrid's youth training, became famous very early.

But because there are really not many opportunities to find in Real Madrid - after all, it is too difficult for Real Madrid's youth training players to gain a foothold in the star-studded first team.

Even Pavin, who had policy support back then, couldn't do it.

However, if the tree is moved, it will die, but if the person is moved, it will live.

After transferring from Real Madrid to Getafe, as a Real Madrid player, he went to rural areas to help the poor with technology, and the effect was immediate.

In two seasons with Getafe, Soldado played 66 times and scored 33 goals.

The goal rate of 0.5 goals per game can be regarded as the data of a top center.

In 2010, Soldado moved to Valencia. After Valencia sold a number of soul figures such as Mata, David Silva, and Joaquin, Soldado took up the offensive banner of the Bat Legion. .

Scored 80 goals in 146 La Liga games for Valencia.

Therefore, 25 million euros were spent to introduce a La Liga striker.

Most Spurs fans have high hopes for Soldado.

Although they did not score in the first two rounds, they all believed that Soldado was not far away from scoring a goal.

Soldado's shot this time also showed his solid basic skills.

With your back to the defender, turn around and shoot!

However, Soldado may indeed lack scoring luck in the Premier League.

The ball hit the pillar firmly and bounced out.

Paulinho, who was wandering into the penalty area, seized the opportunity. The Brazilian raised his foot and blasted the ball into the goal.

"Paulinho! Beautiful!! Soldado's shot hit the post, but fortunately there was Paulinho, who stepped forward and shot! One to zero!! Tottenham Hotspur took the lead Scored a goal!”

After scoring a goal.

Boas just stood up from his seat.

Clapping vigorously from the sidelines and pumping his fists to encourage his players.

He glanced somewhat proudly at Wenger, who was frowning not far away.

Do you think I will continue to play defensive counterattack in this game?

No!

you guessed wrong.

I, Villas-Boas, can also train the offense.

Arsenal were so good last season because of Li Mo, who was in great form.

this season

Let’s not talk about whether Li Mo can continue to maintain such a good state.

As the defending champion, Arsenal will definitely be the focus of study by all teams.

The same is naturally true for Boas.

He was thinking about how to defeat Li Mo before.

But after much thought, Boas gave up.

This question is too difficult.

Compared to defeating Li Mo.

Beating Arsenal makes it easier to think of the right answer.

Villas-Boas' solution to the problem is: attack Arsenal's weak defense!

Li Mo is very powerful.

But no matter how great you are, you are just a player.

Tottenham, have an attacking group!

Boas put his hands in his pockets and was in high spirits.

What he lost at Chelsea must be regained at Tottenham!

"Tottenham's attack is coming again! Eriksen passed the ball! Soldado didn't jump up!"

"Tottenham were uncharacteristically playing at home. They took the initiative to attack! They controlled the game!"

"Listen to the cheers at White Hart Lane, listen to the cheers, you should know how fierce Tottenham's attack is now!"

to the cheers of the commentators.

Wenger's brows frowned more and more.

He just began to judge that this was Tottenham's early attack, so he signaled the Arsenal players to be calm.

But now twenty-five minutes have passed.

On the contrary, Tottenham became more and more aggressive.

There was no intention of stopping at all.

This made Wenger feel more and more that he was affected by inertial thinking before the game.

He believes that Villas-Boas will choose a more conservative strategy in this game.

Wenger's speculation is of course not unreasonable. Villas-Boas is a head coach who prefers defensive counterattacks. In addition, Tottenham's tactical style last season basically revolved around Bell for counterattacks. Although Bell is not here this season, , but Tottenham won't change too much.

But now, Wenger knows he made a mistake.

Spurs had no intention of defending.

They are attacking.

Crazy attack!

This surprised Wenger, but he also continued to emphasize strengthening defense on the sidelines.

Until the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the team fell behind by one goal in the first half.

But finally he didn’t lose any more goals.

This gives him more room to maneuver during halftime adjustments.

After halftime.

Everyone was surprised by Wenger's substitution adjustments.

Kaka came on and replaced Xhaka.

This is equivalent to replacing a defensive midfielder with an attacking midfielder.

Kaká and Cazorla partnered as a double attacking midfielder.

This is about using offense against offense in the second half!

Such adjustments are radical.

But Wenger feels that Arsenal are not good at making adjustments. If they continue to emphasize adjustments when they are lagging behind, it will dampen the morale of the Arsenal players. They might as well just attack.

Li Mo is here.

Wenger has the confidence to fight against each other.

Villas-Boas did not make any adjustments after the halftime break.

obviously.

He was pleased with his players' performance in the first half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

After tactical adjustments.

Arsenal's offense quickly picked up momentum.

With Li Mo as the core.

Arsenal's attack was solid.

Li Mo suppressed the opponent's back line.

The two wingers opened up the width.

The three forwards suppressed the opponent's defender, and Li Mo's presence made Tottenham's defense choke. Their lack of midfielders was revealed at this time.

One of Eriksen and Paulinho must come back to flank Li Mo with the back line to prevent Li Mo from directly facing his own back line when he takes the ball - if there is no defensive depth, let the opponent's forward move in front of the thin back line. It's just too dangerous.

A direct pass from the opponent will penetrate the defense.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

There is no problem with Villas-Boas's strategy. It is true that no one can stay in good condition forever.

At least Li Mo's condition in this game was not very good.

He didn't get a few shooting opportunities.

But Tottenham players' livers tremble when they think of this young man who scored 37 goals in the Premier League last season. Who dares to ignore last season's top scorer appearing in their penalty area?

With Li Mo in check.

Kaka and Cazorla easily gained space to control the ball at the front of the penalty area.

The configuration of double attacking midfielders makes it difficult for Tottenham to fully take care of it when defending.

Kaka and Cazorla constantly passed the ball to each other, which was quite a bit like a dual-core frontcourt.

For example, the fifty-fifth minute of the game.

Cazorla crosses Kaka.

Kaka passed the ball straight to Li Mo.

Li Mo took the ball and turned his back, immediately attracting two Tottenham center backs.

This created a gap directly in front of Kaka.

Li Mo pushed gently.

Kaka, who came forward, raised his foot and shot.

With a low shot in the penalty area, Kaká scored his first goal after joining Arsenal.

In two games, he came on as a substitute twice, contributed one assist and one goal.

The efficiency shown by Kaka in these two games.

His fans couldn't help but burst into tears.

After scoring the goal, Kaka raised his hands to the sky.

Li Mo, who was chasing after him, waited for Kaka to finish reciting the prayer, then hugged him and shouted excitedly.

"Thank you! Lee!"

Kaka was very moved.

Just now, Li Mo could have turned around and shot by himself.

After all, he is the team's leading scorer and has unlimited firing rights.

"You're in a better position!"

Li Mo smiled.

He is really happy to see Kaka gradually regaining his form.

You can see it on the training ground.

Although Kaka's speed is not as good as his peak.

But his skills are still there.

With his skills and experience, Kaká is definitely an indispensable player in the Arsenal team.

Especially after he pushed forward into the penalty area.

His shooting skills are as good as any top forward's, making him difficult for the opposing defense to ignore.

This way.

Li Mo can actually benefit from it.

Someone drew defensive firepower.

This means that Li Mo can have more space.

Kaka's goal brought both sides back to the same starting line.

But the game doesn't end like this.

This is a north London derby.

Neither Arsenal nor Tottenham Hotspur will give up.

The equalizer was just the prelude to a more intense game.

The next race seemed to be equipped with a scramjet engine.

The pace is so fast.

The two sides fought fiercely.

You come and go, it's a pleasure.

Under the loose standards of the referee, the speed of the ball transfer between the two sides was dizzying - the referee also knew what everyone wanted the North London derby to be like.

Li Mo is also looking for his own opportunities in this constant rhythm of offense and defense.

The person responsible for guarding Li Mo in this game was Vertonghen.

Now Li Mo is also a player with an "exclusive defensive strategy".

In every game, he basically enjoys the treatment of having an opponent player by his side.

even so.

Wherever Li Mo appears, Tottenham defenders in this area will tighten up.

For example, when he appears on the right side of the penalty area.

Eriksen, who retreated to this side, greeted Vertonghen nervously.

"Close to him! Hurry up and stick to him!"

Vertonghen unceremoniously grabbed the jersey behind Li Mo.

According to the standards of the referee in this game, this kind of action will not be called a foul.

But instead of being annoyed by the rough treatment, Li Mo grinned at Vertonghen.

This smile made Vertonghen feel a little numb.

Li Mo finished laughing and didn't care how frightened his opponent was by his smile.

He turned and looked to the side.

Sanchez received Arteta's transfer ball on the left wing.

Cazorla had already moved closer.

Kaka is pressing forward, and his Brazilian compatriot Paulinho does not dare to neglect and follows him like a shadow.

The offense and defense are aligned at every point at this moment.

At this time, someone needs to step in to break the balance.

The most common tactic is for the full-backs to come up as extra attacking gloves.

Arsenal is no exception.

Left back Monreal quickly pressed forward and passed behind Sanchez.

Tottenham right back Walker was taken away.

Of course, Sanchez can push the ball along Monreal's running route and let his full-back pass down.

But he felt that Monreal could not defeat Kyle Walker alone-either in terms of speed or confrontation.

And he is now facing Townsend.

He decided to do it himself.

The Chilean made a fake move to spike the ball.

As soon as Townsend changed his center of gravity, he suddenly stopped suddenly, took advantage of the gap created by Townsend, and pocketed the ball towards the penalty area with his right foot!

While the football is flying.

Li Mo had already moved forward at high speed and started to fly.

Vertonghen behind him and Dawson in front of him also took off bravely.

But Vertonghen was stuck behind Li Mo's movement.

After Dawson jumped up, his absolute height was more than ten centimeters lower than Li Mo.

"Li Mo!!"

Amidst the roars of the commentators one after another.

Li Mo jumped up high, facing the direction of the football, twisting his waist and hips, using his core muscles to move his head!

boom!

The moment the football came into contact with Li Mo's forehead, the direction was changed, and a large amount of sweat splashed out from the direction of Li Mo's head.

The football went behind the goal!

Lloris jumped into the air and pounced on the football, but was out of reach.

He could only watch the football pass by his fingertips.

Get into the goal!
