Chapter 91: Breaking Through the Defense Line

At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund strengthened the midfield.

Lai Wan retreated, and the two defensive midfielders came forward to help Royce sort out the rhythm.

This is the rhythm of the midfield that is determined to take over.

Seeing this scene, the Arsenal players did not panic at all. Wenger mentioned this point in the midfield lounge.

Therefore, the Arsenal players were well prepared.

I saw that Lekai and Flamini began to retreat a little, not to compete with the opponent in the midfield area, but to lure the opponent to their own half!

This change made the Dortmund players confused!

They thought that Arsenal would fight fiercely with them and were ready for confrontation.

But they didn't expect that Arsenal actually retreated!

This is like a powerful punch on cotton, without any force at all.

Moreover, the two defensive midfielders of Arsenal retreated, giving up the strategic position of the midfield, but also lengthening the Dortmund formation.

Trap?

Conspiracy?

Dortmund players were a little unsure, but just like Bayern last time, even if it was a trap, they had to bite the bullet!

Most of Dortmund's players crossed the midfield, and the back line was near the front line of their own side, with a posture of pressing forward.

Arsenal, on the other hand, shrank its defense line and started a fierce confrontation with the opponent in the flank area.

In this way, Arsenal still has enough numerical advantage, and Walcott can start quickly.

"Dortmund pressed forward! But Arsenal shrank its defense line. Wenger definitely thought of this possibility, so he made arrangements in advance. Dortmund fell into Arsenal's trap again!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was overjoyed.

Wenger's control of the current situation made him marvel.

Although there was a period of time when Wenger always put up some incredible and incomprehensible lineups or arrangements.

But after entering this season, the wise professor seemed to be back again.

Klopp is one of the current representatives of European coaches, and Wenger has long been famous.

In this game, Wenger told the young Klopp what it means to be old and experienced!

Wenger stood on the sidelines, his arms folded, his expression full of indifference.

On the other hand, Klopp frowned, obviously he did not expect Dortmund to fall into this situation.

In the game, Arsenal's strangulation strength still exists.

Dortmund kept shifting left and right, but just couldn't find any breakthrough.

Every time a Dortmund player held the ball, Arsenal could assign two people to assist in defense, and did not give them any chance to pass forward.

Especially as time passed, they had not been able to break through Arsenal's defense, and this anxious mood began to spread.

Royce passed the ball forward to Lai Wan and ran sideways, but the passing channel between the two was gambled by Lekai.

Lai Wan should have passed the ball back, but in a hurry, he did not do it.

Instead, he wanted to force a turn to complete the breakthrough and shoot.

Flamini could feel that Lai Wan was exerting force and wanted to twist his waist to complete the turn.

He immediately stuck to him and pressed harder!

Lai Wan wanted to turn around, but Flamini wouldn't let him!

When the two were in a stalemate, Cazorla suddenly appeared and grabbed the ball directly from Lai Wan's feet.

After getting the ball, Cazorla passed the ball directly to Lekai.

"Lai Wan! Too much! He should have passed it back immediately!"

The German commentator lamented again, and he forgot how many times he had lamented.

Dortmund's state in this game was disappointing.

They seemed to play particularly passively and did not have that kind of impact.

On the other hand, Arsenal was full of morale!

After Lekai received Cazorla's pass, he didn't think too much at all, and directly turned sideways with his left foot to complete a long pass.

This long pass was behind Dortmund's full-back Durm.

Durm turned and just finished the start, but he found that Walcott had appeared beside him and was rapidly surpassing him.

Durm was anxious and angry, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand.

Cazorla was running forward, and he also saw Durm's outstretched hand, and he subconsciously shouted; "You have a yellow card!"

Sure enough, Durm paused when he stretched out his hand, but this small pause allowed Walcott to get rid of it!

"Kai!! Long pass!! Walcott surpassed Durm!!"

"Hummels and Friedrich are returning to defense with all their strength! Walcott started cycling, swiping horizontally to create space, and shooting!!"

"Ah!!!!" Paul Mossen said with regret holding his head; "Too much pursuit of angle, the ball hit the post and flew out!"

The Arsenal fans at the scene also held their heads with regret.

And Dortmund fans felt that they had survived a disaster.

After slowing down their mentality, Dortmund fans were a little annoyed.

What happened to the players?

Arsenal broke through their defense again and again, especially Durm, who seemed to be a little uncomfortable when facing Walcott.

Dortmund, who always played tough, also became confused when facing Arsenal.

They were completely led by Arsenal!

Whether in terms of tactical configuration or player performance, Dortmund was completely at a disadvantage!

On the other hand, Arsenal was moving towards victory step by step.

Even now, Dortmund fans don't think Arsenal is that strong.

They just implemented the tactics, but Dortmund felt completely out of shape.

Dortmund's goal kick, goalkeeper Weidenfeller kicked the ball directly, trying to find Royce.

Royce and Lucky arrived at the landing point almost at the same time.

Then, Lucky pushed Royce away with his buttocks and completed the jump to compete for the header.

The ball returned to Cazorla's feet again.

Cazorla pretended to pass the ball to Walcott, but suddenly dribbled the ball and passed Yoyinqi and Kirchh in succession. When approaching the penalty area, he passed the ball to Walcott.

Walcott entered the penalty area again and twisted it wildly!

At this point in the game, Dortmund was in trouble again.

They were anxious again, but they had no choice.

Arsenal played better and better.

The time came to the 78th minute, and both sides made substitutions at the same time.

Dortmund replaced Piszczek with Aubameyang.

Klopp strengthened the attack.

Arsenal slowed down Flamini and Ramsey to further improve the stability of Arsenal's midfield.

At the same time, Ramsey's task was also very simple, to keep an eye on Aubameyang.

Both of them had just come on the court and were equally fit.

Aubameyang wanted to be the savior, but facing Arsenal's coordinated defense and Ramsey's man-to-man play, he played particularly depressed.

After 85 minutes, Dortmund was obviously more anxious.

Klopp made two consecutive substitutions.

All of them were aimed at the offense.

Arsenal ensured the stability of the back line and made a positional substitution of the full-back!

Entering the injury time, Dortmund basically gave up.

Now it is almost impossible to equalize the score.

What they need to do now is to hold on to this point difference and play better in the next round.

Dortmund can only accept this defeat!

When the game was over, Arsenal players celebrated happily at the Westfalenstadion.

On the other hand, Dortmund fans left the field quickly one by one, their expressions were extremely ugly, and they were obviously dissatisfied with Dortmund's performance in this game.

Throughout the game, Arsenal was almost in control of the situation.

Step by step, they expanded their advantage and scored goals.

After scoring, Dortmund had no more chances.

Every tactical change of Dortmund was easily resolved and utilized by Arsenal.

Although there was only one goal in this game, the game was very exciting.

Of course, the excitement here refers to Arsenal.

The discipline and execution of Arsenal in this game were shocking.

There were almost no mistakes throughout the game.

Everyone did what they should do and completed the coordinated defense.

In this case, Dortmund's state began to decline gradually after repeated setbacks.

Of course, Suarez's goal was the key.

Because after this goal, Arsenal has completely controlled the game!

Compared to the previous period, Arsenal's overall stability has improved again, coupled with strong tactical execution capabilities, this Arsenal has shown amazing combat effectiveness.

If Arsenal continues in this state, Dortmund will be more passive at the Emirates Stadium!
