Chapter 110 The Difficulty of the Away Game

Queen's Park and Burnley's away games are not easy to play. Zhou Yang has a deep understanding of this. After all, they played Queen's Park with difficulty to win, and they also injured two generals.

These relegation teams still have certain advantages at home.

Intermission time.

Wenger started by talking about the overall situation at Burnley.

"The ball they gave was not very good and we had a chance, at least in my opinion."

"A lot can be done in 45 minutes and we need to find a way to make them make mistakes if we are going to win the game."

Zhou Yang and his teammates were in the simple locker room, and Giroud threw a bottle of mineral water over.

Zhou Yang gulped a few sips.

The game was indeed a bit stiff in the first half.

Everyone's chemical reactions are quite general.

"They have a stable defense, so we need to identify opportunities and seize when they make mistakes." Wenger also knows that Burnley's team's style of play is mediocre in offense, and the defense is to curb the offensive rhythm of others through personnel advantages. , so the most worrying thing is whether you can break the door.

Not long after, everyone left the locker room one after another.

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides still did not play many threatening offenses.

Zhou Yang pressed the ball from the opposing midfielder as usual.

The ability to play the ball on the opposite side is very average, which can be regarded as a flaw.

As for other rhythms, not much has changed.

If they can pass the penalty area to Giroud, they will give it, and if they can't, they will try to hit the ground.

Sanchez played okay there, but in the end, Sanchez mostly protected the ball and picked the pass to find Giroud, because the opposite wing was aggressive in grabbing the ball, and the two forwards cooperated with the siege, so there were really few opportunities.

In the 57th minute, Ramsey, Walcott, and Bellerin cooperated on the right. In the end, Bellerin failed to make a pass, and the ball was pushed out. Zhou Yang followed up immediately, stepped on the ball and pulled it back.

Zhou Yang brought the belt forward to attract the attention of the opposite striker who was on the center line.

Lift the outer instep of the right foot out to the front right.

Bellerin came from the sideline and touched the ball to Ramsey in front left. The latter held the ball and wanted to react with Walcott in the penalty area. Unfortunately, he failed and was destroyed by Bigfoot.

Zhou Yang came up to the right and stopped the ball again.

There is also a reason why he didn't go too deep. Before playing against Villa, not so many people went in, and Cazorla didn't go in on the right.

This is also a protection mechanism for themselves.

Even when playing Newcastle at that time, Zhou Yang was shaking the opposite penalty area from the arc in the middle, so that he and Kirkland could form two coverage points before and after retreating.

And if he is too deep on the right, or even takes root, if Burnley gives a good ball in the middle, even if Monreal makes it up, the opposite side can also distribute it to the winger who inserted it, and Monreal will be fine. It will be difficult for both sides.

This is the role of Burnley's two strikers and two fierce wingers.

After he gave the ball, he moved obliquely to the center with Kirkland behind him. If it didn't work, he and Kirkland could continue to control the offensive and defensive rhythm of the midfield.

Play around the opposite side, if there is no one behind, who will get the ball.

Of course, if there is no goal in 80 minutes, Zhou Yang feels that some changes must be made.

In 67 minutes, there was still no change, but 4 corner kicks were taken.

Burnley's penalty zone is fine for high altitude defense, but the others are average. Today Walcott is mostly running, and Ramsey is making a response, try to touch the ball out, see if it is for Walcott in the penalty zone or for Bailey Forest.

After he gave it, he followed it up. His style of play was quite straightforward. Bellerin tried his best to make all kinds of crosses.

On the field, time was ticking by, and they continued to get a corner kick on the right.

Normally, Cazorla takes care of corner kicks, and Sanchez sends one from the left when he is idle from time to time, and is rushing to shoot at other times.

Zhou Yang is responsible for observing various situations near the restricted area.

Their corner kicks have not been fixed recently. Sanchez, Chamberlain, and Walcott have all served, but the corner kick cooperation has always been... It's hard to say.

The corner kick was taken by Walcott, and the opponent's formation moved. Shaker and Giroud took off together at 1.94. When Giroud was interfered by others, the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Shaker.

Burnley's high-altitude defense in the penalty area is still possible.

The ball came to the foot of Monreal on the wing. After Monreal stopped the ball, he inserted it at a 45-degree angle. Without further ado, he sent his left foot to the penalty area.

It still didn't work, and was ejected again.

Barnes got the ball and sent it back to the midfielder Ivoit. He wanted to counterattack, but he himself went behind Kirkland.

These people in Burnley's frontcourt are looking for opportunities by jumping in to get the ball and counterattack.

However, the ball was not successful, because Zhou Yang was sitting in the middle.

As soon as the opposite side sent the ball back, he immediately came up to press the opposite side's line of the ball.

The overall rhythm of Burnley's midfield and backcourt is not good, and the speed is not fast.

Often fail to pass, and then choose to swagger.

This time Zhou Yang pressed up quickly, and the opponent returned to the defender, which was fine.

Normally, the defenders will have big feet, and the few people from Burnley's frontcourt just hit a counterattack.

But there was a problem with the ball line being pressed.

Another central defender, Fife, missed, and Walcott, who was in front of him, led away at speed.

Walcott looked up and looked towards the goal.

Fife also didn't expect Walcott to be so fast, and it can't be said that he didn't expect that Walcott ran beside him throughout the game, but this time the passing line was squeezed out of the problem.

Fife turned and came up, approached Walcott's right from behind, stretched his foot from behind, and was ready to kick the ball out.

But just happened to meet Walcott's raised right foot, and he sprained in the penalty area and fell to the ground.
