Chapter 22 Swamp

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

Arsenal equalized the score in the last few minutes, which also made Arsenal fans breathe a sigh of relief.

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

During the halftime break, Arsenal players returned to the locker room.

Seeing Mourinho come in, Lekai stood up and apologized.

"Sorry, sir, I changed the tactical style without authorization!"

As the most direct participant in the game, sometimes players will also make some tactical changes, and Lekai is not the only one.

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

But Mourinho did not scold it, but waved to Lekai to sit down.

Immediately, he took off his coat, pulled the tactical board directly, and motioned 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.

Mourinho; "Park the bus!"

Lekai and others were stunned.

They had no choice but to park the bus before, and it was also a tactical adjustment.

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

But will Arsenal park the bus?

The answer is yes.

As Mourinho's team, they can't not park the bus.

Arsenal not only parked the bus, but also parked it very well.

But parking the bus is not good-looking, and it is always criticized. Many people also say that it kills the artistry of football tactics.

But for Mourinho, none of this matters.

Winning is everything.

And Mourinho was a little excited at this time.

"The tactics you changed in the first half were very good, but they lacked some key things. First of all, it was a formation problem. 4-3-3 can't fully play this set of play. The formation in the second half was changed to 4-5-1!"

Lekai was silent.

Mourinho directly pointed out the key to the tactics, worthy of being a world-class defensive master.

Lekai's tactics, in fact, can't be called tactics, but a kind of tactical evolution.

This is based on the style of play of Watford against Liverpool in the 19-20 season, which is mainly based on dense defense in the backcourt, forcing the opponent to pass the ball horizontally, looking for opportunities and completing counterattacks.

Lekai didn't know whether this tactic was effective, but at that time, stable defense and some changes were needed, so Lekai boldly enabled it.

The teammates are very sensitive to tactics and can cooperate quickly, and Lekai is always directing the defense, which completes the construction.

Judging from the previous performance, the effect is good.

On the other hand, Liverpool is a little overwhelmed.

Arsenal suddenly changed its 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 was a bit difficult to make a decision for a while.

In the end, they could only try to be stable and continue the rhythm of the aerial midfield.

Soon, the halftime break ended.

The two sides tied 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 Mossen frowned slightly.

He felt that Mourinho's bad habit had reappeared.

It is well known that Mourinho likes to park the bus.

After coming to Arsenal, he performed well in the formation for a whole season, but this season, his old problem seems to have recurred.

After all, for many people, parking the bus is not the game they want to see.

This passive and boring way of playing annoyed many people, even the home fans.

However, based on the fact that Arsenal had equalized the score before, they endured it.

Maybe this way of playing has miraculous effects?

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

Compared with the first half, Arsenal became more determined in this way of playing in the second half.

And the adaptability of the formation position has also increased.

If the first half was more counterattack-like, the second half was a complete bus-playing.

But even so, when Klopp was mobilizing the midfield at Arsenal, he felt a hint of coldness in the movement of some players.

Arsenal was defending!

But they controlled the rhythm of the game!

This is so uncomfortable!

Liverpool seemed to be stuck in a swamp and couldn't do anything.

Klopp off the court had this feeling, not to mention the Liverpool players on the court.

"What the hell is going on!"

Chen Man was so depressed.

The ball couldn't be passed to the right place, and there was no space to move forward.

Looking around, all of them were Arsenal people, and their own players couldn't get in from the back defense, as if they were trapped there by a wall.

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

They had a strong sense of separation, and looking at their teammates who couldn't pass in, they could only worry.

Time passed little by little, and Liverpool couldn't score against Arsenal.

They also began to become anxious.

For Arsenal, they can accept a draw away from home, but Liverpool can't!

They have to win three points at home!

To ​​put it bluntly, Liverpool is under more offensive pressure.

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

Mourinho stared at the court off the field.

He was also looking forward to the next changes in his heart.

For Arsenal, it is currently waiting in this defensive posture

Waiting for the moment when Liverpool can no longer bear it and makes mistakes and flaws.

The core idea of ​​the bus tactics is this.

Use a solid defense to force the opponent to make mistakes!

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

Time came to the 80th minute little by little, and Liverpool finally couldn't help it.

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

The two full-backs' overlapping forward insertions certainly increased 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 opportunity to come.

"Henderson passed the ball to Salah, Arnold continued to move forward, Salah sent a through ball, Bellerin moved sideways to block it, the ball flew to the center circle, Giroud and Van Dijk were competing for the header, the two fought fiercely, Giroud!! Headed it, Kai!!!"

Giroud headed the ball back in front of Lekai.

And Lekai faced the falling ball and slammed it hard, while shouting; "Pierre!! Run!!!"

Aubameyang started quickly, and when the full-back moved forward, he ran at full speed as if there was no one in the world.

The Liverpool goalkeeper also saw that the central defender could not retreat immediately, and immediately left the goal.

Both were running towards the ball.

But Aubameyang's speed was obviously faster.

But at this time, Liverpool goalkeeper Karius had no way back, so he could only rush forward.

Aubameyang was the first to arrive at the point where the ball landed. He paused for a moment and made a gesture to stop the ball, which deceived Karius to stop immediately.

At this moment, Aubameyang started again.

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

"Aubameyang!! Facing the empty goal!!!!"

Paul Merson roared passionately! !

Facing the second falling ball, Aubameyang easily pushed the ball into the goal.

In the 82nd minute, Arsenal broke Liverpool's goal again.

Aubameyang scored a wonderful goal!

"Aubameyang's calm handling helped Arsenal score the second goal. Liverpool's situation took a sharp turn for the worse after scoring the first goal. Now they are one goal behind at home, and there is not much time left for Liverpool!"

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

They looked at the stadium in disbelief. They had a good start, but Arsenal's bus parked the ball and overtook them.

Throughout the game, Liverpool's performance was a bit bad except for the beginning.

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

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

Arsenal players celebrated wildly at Anfield.

Mourinho even slid passionately.

On the other side, Klopp shook his head helplessly in the coaching seat.

He had never expected this.

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