Chapter 67 Victory Is Getting Closer

The game was carried out in an atmosphere of mutual fear between the two sides, and the time node also came to 70 minutes.

This is a very sensitive time point. According to the movement function of the human body, players on the field are usually in a period of physical exhaustion during this period. They will run for 70 minutes ahead. Naturally, natural adjustments must be made at this time point, so this time point often It is the best time for weak teams to counterattack.

Joachim Loew made personnel adjustments at this time. Villa and Di Natale came on the field at the same time, replacing Dirk Dirk and Bosingwa, who were running all over the field and their physical fitness was close to the limit. Di Natale became a right midfielder. Villa, on the other hand, was at the forefront to take over the job of harassing Dirk.

Perhaps such an adjustment will reduce the team's pressing intensity in the midfield by a level, but Arsenal need to estimate Notts County's counterattack.

With the adjustment of Notts County, the situation on the court has also undergone subtle changes. What is different from before is that when Notts County gets players, it is no longer a long pass blindly, but a conscious pass. , although they still mainly pass the ball in the middle and long distances, they found that the pressure brought by Arsenal's counter-robbing was obviously not as great as in the first half.

Loew was also keenly aware of this change, so he immediately told the players through gestures that they can properly strengthen the pass and control in non-dangerous areas. As long as the turnover rate is kept at a low level, Notts County can even take the initiative to attack.

The players who received the instructions were shocked. Although the score was leading, it was a bit awkward for them to completely hand over the initiative to Arsenal. Their strength lies in offense, not defense. The gesture they put on, if it is not for the victory and they have a choice, they are absolutely willing to fight Arsenal with real swords and guns.

Therefore, the players on the Notts County field consciously increased the passing of the ball, slowly advancing the battlefield to the center line, and it became a situation where the two sides refused to give in to each other in the midfield.

Having said that, Notts County's defensive system is still solid, and the positions of the three lines are also very stable, and it has not become loose due to the pull of pass control.

The two sides have formed a repetition of steals and counter-steals in the midfield, refusing to give in to each other.

Fierce fighting is accompanied by subtle small moves, and the players' anger gradually rises. Slowly, the fighting moves of both sides also increase.

This scene is what Loew wants to see the most. At least in this respect, Notts County’s midfielders will not suffer, no matter Alonso, Meireles, Altintop, or even Di Natale, They are all representatives of tough guys, let alone Ribery, who may even be a gangster before playing football. Anyway, in the defense against Arsenal's midfielder, Notts County is definitely not the weak side.

Vieira is the most powerful midfielder in the Premier League. There is no doubt about it. Ljungberg and Parlor also have a fierce face. Do not die state!

Vieira tackled Alonso, and then Meirelas tackled Pires in an aboveboard manner. Although he paid the price of a yellow card, he also told Arsenal with practical actions that they did not Not easy to bully.

Meireles was notorious before. This guy was suspended for a violent incident on the court. He was suspended for a few games just now. Ordinary people would get terrified when they saw him. God knows if this guy will get hot again. .

In everything, there is a second time for the first time, and fighting is no exception.

Everyone was so preoccupied with doing bad things in the halftime fight, but they ignored the passage of time. When they calmed down, they suddenly turned around and realized that there was not much time left until the halftime was over.

Arsenal organized the offensive in a panic, and there is not much time left for them. If they fail to equalize the score in the remaining time, then they will swallow the bitter fruit of failure. This is every Arsenal person. Unwanted results.

At this time, the disadvantages of England's football style emerged, or in other words, this is also a mistake that most clubs will make in this situation.

When the mentality is anxious, impatient players will pursue speed when handling the ball and ignore skills and tactics. Most of the time, they choose long passes to solve problems, and even direct long passes from the back line to the forwards to attack. There is no midfielder Excessive, in the case of the opponent's meticulous defense, it is difficult to achieve too obvious results.

In this regard, Arsenal is no exception. Although it is the French midfielder Vieira who controls the rhythm of Arsenal, the eager and chaotic style of play cannot be avoided. Wenger is a man, he is not a god, and he cannot change every situation. The mentality of a player cannot change the laws of football.

But sometimes a simple and rough style of play does not mean that there is no threat, at least when a giant playing gorgeous football like Arsenal plays the lower Liba people, it looks like it.

Henry's header is not a strong point, but he is not weak. Bergkamp is extremely accurate in judging the landing point. Notts County's defense line encountered an opponent in a close hand-to-hand fight.

Carvalho guards Bergkamp full-time, and Westerman is responsible for tracking Henry. Although it seems that he will not lose the wind in the confrontation, what the Notts County defense lacks is experience.

In just a few minutes, Notts County's defense was jittery. Henry and Bergkamp were often able to grab the first spot and protect the ball to wait for the follow-up attack. This simple but effective attack launched a defense for Notts County. The back line posed a great threat.

Wenger watched from the sidelines wanting to cry but not in tears. If he had known that Notts County would play this game, why would Arsenal bother.

Seeing that the team's situation was not good, Loew immediately made corresponding adjustments, replaced Ribery, Lescott came off the bench, and the three central defenders defended the high-altitude ball, at least they would not be at a disadvantage.

In this way, it is equivalent to Notts County giving up the attack completely, but this is understandable, after all, there is not much time left, and victory is more important than anything else.

The effect of the adjustment was immediate. Lescott's appearance stabilized the already precarious defense line. In the competition for high-altitude balls, Notts County now takes the initiative.

Minutes and seconds passed, the time was getting closer to the end of the game, and the fans in the stands did not spare their vocal cords and physical strength, and kept shouting for the team. They were looking forward to the moment when Notts County eliminated Arsenal .

Wenger returned to the coaching bench weakly. He has no good way to change the situation on the field. Even if there is, so what?
Running out of time!
