Chapter 301 Expand the score again!

The inability to score such an inevitable goal is undoubtedly very demoralizing, but at this time Adebayor seemed to be okay, and ran out of the penalty area with a smile on his face, leaving other Arsenal players a little speechless.

"Arsenal's offense is still very threatening, and the rest of the game will not be easy!" Coach Taylor said subconsciously on the sidelines.

"But their defense is a big drag after all. If the defense is not stable, they will never be able to fully devote themselves to the offense. Since they are fully committed to the offense, it means that the defense will be even more empty!"

Redknapp muttered in his mouth, not knowing whether he was talking to Taylor or talking to himself.

At this time, he stood up and watched the game on the field. He had a hunch that the team was going to score again!

When Hleb pressed up, Yunfei noticed this very keenly. Before, he always passed the ball to Jones. The big reason was that Hleb recovered very well, but Van Persie did not have such a strong sense of returning to defense on the left side where Van Persie was.

But now the situation has changed. Hleb must stay in the frontcourt because of the coach's request, so Bell has a lot of one-on-one opportunities for Hoyt, which is very rare.

So soon, Yunfei changed his passing direction and started passing the ball to Bell!

Bell also used his own performance to prove that Hleb's concerns were not groundless. Facing Hoyt, Bell passed him one-on-one as if he was crossing the road in the early morning. Although Bell's feet were not so mature at this time, his speed was enough!
"Bell is going to make a breakthrough with the ball, strong! Oh my God, the speed gap is really too big. Bell took the ball and used his speed to forcefully pass Hoyt from the outside. The biggest problem with Arsenal's defense now is that they can't restrain their opponents one-on-one, so this game will naturally fall into a disadvantage."

"Coach Wenger yelled at Hleb just now, feeling that he wasn't aggressive enough forward and his position was too low. But Hleb's choice is also reasonable. In Hoyt's case, he really can't restrain the opponent by himself!"

Bell, who had passed his opponent, cut into the penalty area. Facing the central defender Julu, he flicked the ball out with his right foot, just past Zhulu who stretched his foot rashly, and then kicked directly to hit the goal!

This time, Bell's shot was a bit on the right track and was easily confiscated by Lehmann!
"Arsena, if this goes on, I'm afraid we'll concede the ball before evening the score!" assistant coach Rice said worriedly.

Wenger took a deep breath, and now all the problems are on Yunfei. This guy is really disgusting. He stands in the midfield, not delaying the team's defense, and can always pass the ball to his teammates very comfortably. The ability to pass the ball to cover most of the pitch is really terrifying!
Generally speaking, this is a job done by two people, and it may not be able to do it well.In addition to Hughes' full-time defense at the back, there is also a midfielder and Hughes to form a double midfielder to sweep the backcourt, and then there must be an organizational midfielder in the midfield to transport the ball forward, and finally stand in front of Suleman who runs back and forth without hesitation. Such a four-midfield can ensure the stability of the backcourt.But the four midfielders will definitely weaken the offensive ability of the frontcourt.

If Southampton's frontcourt is a Fuller plus a Bell or Jones, then it will be easier to defend, but now it is different. The existence of Yunfei allows Southampton to save one person to put in the frontcourt. Then, with both wings flying together, it will become a lot of pressure for Arsenal, whose defense is already very unstable.

Coupled with Arsenal's style of play, the full-backs have to insert very deep, so the space behind them will naturally become bigger!
In this game, the reason why Arsenal's offense was not very smooth is also related to the fact that the full-backs never dared to assist too much. Originally, Hleb was the only winger in Arsenal. Van Persie's style of play was different from traditional wingers. He was more like a striker.If the two full-backs are not inserted, the frontcourt offense will naturally lose its echelon and depth. If there is no explosive point, you just want to pass the ball to break through the opponent's defense. Even Barcelona, ​​​​the top six champions, is not so easy to do.Not to mention that although these players are good players, they certainly cannot be compared with the abilities and tacit understanding of Harvey, Iniesta and Busquets.

After thinking about it for a long time, I got a headache, and Wenger didn't think of a good solution, so he could only shake his head.

"Wait until the end of the first half!"

But this obviously can't dispel Rice's worries. He wanted to say something but didn't say it, that is, can the team really keep this game going to halftime?

Soon, the situation on the court verified Rice's concerns. At the end of the first half, Southampton once again created a murderous intention, aggressively pressing Arsenal's defense to be extremely empty. Bell used his speed to easily shake off Hoyt, then entered the penalty area and crossed the goal!

The ball was passed a little closer to the goal, and Zhu Lu, who was in a hurry to return to the defense, was caught off guard. Seeing the ball approaching him, he subconsciously knocked the ball behind him with his heel, trying to kick the ball out.

Obviously, in a hurry, and because it was a clearance from the back heel, so no power was exerted. The ball was passed back to the approximate penalty spot, and Suleman, who followed up, volleyed directly from this position!

With a bang, the ball was shot into the net!

3: 1!

Southampton once again expanded their lead before the end of the first half!
This goal also made Arsenal's players a little desperate. The disadvantage of two goals is really too difficult to chase. Silva can stand up once or twice, but he can't always rely on him. After all, he is still a midfielder.

On the sidelines at this moment, Wenger looked at his players with a livid face. He had an urge to explode, but he didn't know who to blame. He could only say that the team fell into a situation where no one was available. It was really embarrassing.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half and entered the intermission.

I don't know if Wenger imitated his old opponent and used a hair dryer during the intermission, but at the beginning of the second half, Wenger chose to replace Julu, who was a disaster, with the same young Senderos.

Compared with Julu, Senderos is undoubtedly a more reliable central defender. Although in the past two years, continuous injuries have delayed this promising central defender, and the shortcoming of too slow turning speed has been frequently caught and exploited by opponents, but in any case, he is still better than Julu.
