Chapter 304 Sharp counterattack!

The lightning conceded goal in the opening game made Mourinho's team feel like a slap in the face. After all, there is still a huge psychological gap between leading by two goals and leading by only one goal.

Especially for Real Madrid players playing away games.

After they were at a loss behind the team, they subconsciously looked at the head coach on the sidelines.

Obviously, they have some doubts about whether to implement the pre-match arrangement under the current situation.

But Mourinho did not show any hesitation. He stood on the sidelines with an indifferent expression and shouted for everyone to return to their tactical positions as soon as possible.

That indifferent look, as if the conceded goal just now didn't exist at all!
Seeing this, the Real Madrid players felt more at ease, and they quickly returned to their positions, and continued to carry out the task of defensive counterattack firmly!
……

As we all know, Mourinho's "bus" is a pinnacle of defensive art, while Wenger's "beautiful football" was once "porcelain" in the football world.

And so, these two tactics directly collided again on the field. If anyone evaluates it, they will be more optimistic about Mourinho's team.

Although Wenger's team has been firmly in possession of the ball, it is often difficult to gain a clear advantage.

On the one hand, one of their main forwards, Mu Jianfeng, had fallen into the offside trap three times just in the middle of the first half!

The other main striker, Van Persie, was always followed by someone. Apart from the opening goal, there was only one long-range shot high in front of the penalty area.

The most important thing is that Real Madrid's players almost spare no effort in defense, and often see their star Kaka back to the front of the penalty area to press!

Or Ronaldo chased back near the bottom line!

But this kind of defense does not mean that Real Madrid has completely retreated. Their transition from defense to offense is very fast!
For example, in the No.16 minute of the first half, during an attack by Arsenal, Rosicky from the wing cut the ball across and made a pass. As a result, the amazing and experienced Carvalho predicted in advance and kicked with a big kick. Flew to midfield.

The moment Carvalho kicked the ball, if you take a bird's eye view from the sky, you will find that at least three or four Real Madrid players are ready to counterattack and accelerate!

While the Arsenal players were still staring blankly at the ball flying towards the midfield, the Real Madrid players turned around and started chasing it quickly!
It wasn't until then that the Arsenal players realized that they had to defend, and then they started to chase back quickly!
As a result, Higuain first won the header position with his speed in the midfield position. He kicked the ball directly to Ronaldo horizontally, and then turned forward!

When Ronaldo saw the ball flying in, he played tricks with his feet. While the Arsenal players were jumping forward, he kicked the ball with his heel to Kaka who was following up in the middle!
Seeing this, Kaka had no intention of stopping the ball at all. He looked up at the field in front of him, kicked the ball to the left baseline!
At this time, a figure rushed out from behind Kaka!
This figure brought a strong wind, and when Koscielny turned around in a panic, he completed the overtaking!
It is Real Madrid's left winger Di Maria!

Seeing this, Higuain, who followed up in the middle, slowed down a little to avoid falling into an offside trap.

Ronaldo behind him didn't slow down at all, but changed direction and ran diagonally from the right side to the center of the penalty area. He didn't consider offside, but went straight to the hinterland very brutally!

At this time, in Arsenal's half, apart from the two central defenders Julu and Koscielny, there was only Chrissy chasing Ronaldo in embarrassment!
On Real Madrid's side, if you add Kaka who is advancing rapidly in the middle, four people participated in this counterattack!
In other words, at this moment Arsenal's half has formed a short-term four-three situation!
It can be said that the form on the court has become very dangerous again!
All this is extremely familiar to Real Madrid players, because this is a tactic that has been practiced countless times in their training.

Their cooperation has almost formed an instinct!

So while Di Maria was running at high speed on the sidewalk, he looked up at Koscielny who was also chasing him at high speed.

I saw that the opponent, knowing that it would be difficult to catch up, threw his body out and released a sliding shovel to interfere with Di Maria!
In the middle, Arsenal's defense personnel are chasing back at high speed, just like Di Maria is disturbed, if he chooses to stop the ball and then control the ball, the chance of counterattack in the middle may disappear in a flash!
In this way, Mourinho will definitely spray him to death!

Thinking of this, Di Maria gritted his teeth, and the speed of his feet was soaring to the extreme. Then, before Koscielny, he kicked the ball to the middle with a pass from the outside of his foot!

Seeing that the opponent had already kicked the ball, Koscielny had no choice but to hold the lawn with both hands to try to slow down his sliding speed in order to avoid a foul, and at the same time turned his head and looked towards the middle!

I saw there, Julu almost tried to interfere with Higuain!

And behind them, Ronaldo has already pushed Clichy away, and is rushing towards the direction where the ball came from!

"Hand the ball!"

Ronaldo roared loudly, and made a shot behind Higuain and Julu.

Such a roar made Zhu Lu hesitate for a while, so he suddenly paused when he interfered with Higuain in front of him!
This made Higuain overjoyed, it was absolutely impossible for him to play for others!

So Higuain did not choose to leak the ball to Ronaldo on the line of the penalty area, but stopped the ball into the penalty area with his chest!
This time, Zhulu was shocked, and quickly threw his body out, trying to block Higuain's shot!

At the same time, Higuain also completed the adjustments before shooting, twisted his waist and swayed his legs, and then the script hit the ball hard!
"Oh!"

"bump!"

"Woo!!!"

With two muffled sounds in a row, Higuain's shot was finally hit by Julu's instep, and the ball was refracted. Amid the exclamation of the Arsenal fans at the scene, it almost flew out of the baseline by rubbing against the post!
"Good job!"

"Hey, why don't you pass it on!"

Almost at the same time, two voices sounded. The former was Arsenal's goalkeeper Szczesny, who rushed towards the collapsed Julu with excitement on his face, and then shouted excitedly with his hands holding Julu's head!

And the second voice is that Ronaldo behind Higuain is stretching his arms forward, pointing to the space in front of him and questioning his teammates.

"Huchi~! Huchi~!"

Until then, Mu Jianfeng, who had almost sprinted across the field, was panting heavily, and kept stroking the cold sweat on his forehead with his hands on his hips.

In the past 20 minutes so far, almost every time Arsenal's attack has been frustrated, Real Madrid will seize the opportunity to form a threatening counterattack!

Real Madrid's tactics are like poisonous snakes. If they miss a hit, they will recover immediately and wait patiently for the next opportunity!

Under such circumstances, Arsenal's players expended a lot of energy to catch up.

Mu Jianfeng looked at his teammates at the moment, except for a few who didn't go after them with all their strength, the others were almost out of breath.

If this continues, maybe the second goal will not be ushered in, but Real Madrid will seize the opportunity to equalize the score!

In that case, for Arsenal, if they want to advance, they have to score three more goals!

As far as Arsenal are concerned, it is not at the same level of difficulty as now that they can advance by scoring one more goal!

So for the current Arsenal, perhaps it is much more important to ensure that they do not concede the ball than to continue to attack!

Just as Mu Jianfeng was thinking this way, Wenger's voice suddenly came from the sidelines.

"Hi!"

The Arsenal players looked at the reputation, only to see Wenger on the sidelines anxiously making a gesture.

Seeing this gesture, the doubts in the hearts of the Arsenal players fell, and the coach told them to suspend the offensive rhythm!
