Chapter 123: Entering a desperate situation
"Tottenham scored again, which tilted the game towards Tottenham. It is hard for us to imagine that Arsenal, which has performed well during the season, suddenly faces such a dilemma! At the same time, we also need to express our gratitude to Pochettino and the Tottenham players. Play, they are ready to interrupt Arsenal's unbeaten run with a wonderful performance!"
There was a hint of emotion in Paul Merson's words. Who would have thought that Arsenal, who had performed so well this season, would be scored two consecutive goals by Tottenham at their home court in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup.
Under these two goals, Arsenal fell into a great passive situation, and even their tactical system was difficult to maintain.
On the field, Arsenal players no longer had the calmness of the past. After Tottenham scored the second goal, Arsenal truly felt that they had failed.
For this reason, at this moment, everyone is trying their best to reverse the situation.
However, Tottenham are not soft persimmons. After taking a two-goal lead, they retreated as a whole and continued to neutralize Arsenal's offensive.
"Go to the left alone, don't rush forward!"
"Steady! Steady!"
"Asshole! Don't cum!"
Lucky kept shouting loudly in the midfield, and his voice was filled with anxiety.
After all, failure is right in front of him, and even Lucky cannot maintain absolute calm.
And he also needs to hold back these aggressive teammates.
At this time, Arsenal players have begun to become anxious, which can be seen from their passing and shooting.
They wanted to equalize the score and restore the situation with good intentions.
But the problem is that you can't rush to fight or even shoot in a hurry.
Everything must be built within the system. Once they lose their composure, the balance of victory will only tilt more toward Tottenham.
Lucky no longer planned to retreat. Kanter was watching from behind, and Tottenham had no intention of continuing to attack. They only needed to stop their counterattack.
The most important thing is to score goals!
That’s right!
Just a goal!
Only a goal can turn the tide of the game.
Unknowingly, the sweat on Lucai's face had become thicker, and his whole body had become heavier.
This is the first time this season that a game puts so much pressure on the body and mind.
It has to be said that Tottenham's overall performance was extremely excellent, and their tactical restraint was also extremely effective.
By surprise, Arsenal fell into a passive situation and used this as a basis to prepare to win the game.
"Arsenal is constantly trying to advance the offense and get a goal back in a limited time, but Tottenham's defense is very strong and they are not prepared to give away the advantage they have gained!"
The confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce.
Especially after entering the second half, both physically and mentally.
Several disputes broke out between the two sides, which also delayed the game.
The Arsenal players are not as calm as they thought. They are also human beings. When faced with such a difficult moment, they will also feel anxious in their hearts and lose their previous calmness.
Lucky was still trying to attack. He kept catching and passing the ball, using himself as the base to advance the offense.
However, his teammates were too anxious, and the ball would often be passed over, and would often be missed or even intercepted by his teammates.
Tottenham did a very good job in defensive linkage and hardly gave Arsenal a good chance.
Especially within the penalty area, it is almost difficult for Arsenal to get into it.
Off the field, in the coaching bench, Mourinho's expression was also extremely grim.
As he watched the game spiral out of control, he knew it was time to make a change.
“Come Dembe!”
Mourinho turned and shouted: "Go and warm up!"
Dembele stood up immediately, he was always ready.
And being able to play in the derby is also a key part of his integration into Arsenal.
Soon, Dembe came to wrap up the warm-up.
Mourinho put his arm around his shoulders and said: "Remember! What we need is the threat from the wing, and use the breakthrough from the wing to relieve the pressure in the center. What you need to do is very simple, just like before, Keep putting pressure on the wing! ”
"Don't be afraid that you can't advance. Wilshere will support you. If you have a good opportunity, you can pass it in, or you can pass it to Kai in an inverted triangle!"
Finally, Mourinho patted Dembele hard on the back.
The latter also nodded heavily.
In the 65th minute, Arsenal chose to make substitutions.
Aubameyang goes off and Dembe comes on.
Bellerín comes off and Saka comes on.
Mourinho is going to make a desperate attack.
Arsenal gave their choice, and Pochettino immediately made corresponding substitutions to strengthen the defense.
After the substitutions on both sides were completed, the game started again.
Arsenal frequently sent the ball to the left wing, hoping to open a gap through Dembe's breakthrough.
Dembe, who is full of physical strength, will also put enough pressure on Tottenham, but maybe they are two goals ahead. Tottenham's mentality is very stable and they will hardly make mistakes. Even if they face Dembe, they can perform well. Defense.
"Dembe's role cannot be fully reflected! The main reason is that Tottenham's blockade of the left wing is too severe. Maybe Arsenal should find other solutions."
Before he finished speaking, Dembe came to play with Wilshere and hit the wall to cooperate. Dembe came to an instant and threw away the opponent's full-back and plunged into the penalty area.
“Come Dembe!
Chance!
"
Paul Mawson yelled: "Can he take advantage of this opportunity?"
Dembe came into the penalty area and shot directly before Vertonghen arrived.
But this shot was too on target.
Goalkeeper Lori didn't even need to move his feet and easily caught the ball.
"Ah~~~~~~The shot was too on target! What an excellent scoring opportunity for Arsenal!"
Paul Merson rubbed his hair irritably. He felt that the game was really hanging in the balance.
Tottenham's defense is getting more and more energetic.
Arsenal, on the other hand, is still facing a two-goal deficit.
The most important thing is that time is still passing quickly.
When Lucai looked up again, he found that the time had reached 80 minutes.
"Damn it!"
Lucky cursed inwardly.
He felt that time passed too fast. After only a few attacks, the time came to 80 minutes.
There are ten minutes left in regular game time, plus injury time, which is about thirteen minutes.
It is undoubtedly a very difficult task to equalize the score or even take the lead at this time.
But no matter how difficult it is, you still need to try.
In the stands, Arsenal fans were watching the stadium with worry. They never thought that Arsenal would lose, and they still lost to Tottenham in this way.
Losing to other teams is acceptable, but losing to Tottenham is not.
The most important thing is that this is their home court.
Losing to Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium was a disaster.
They can imagine how these damn Tottenham fans will laugh at them after the game.
For this reason, although everyone felt angry and uneasy in their hearts, they still gritted their teeth and waited for the situation to change.
They firmly believe that their warriors can turn the tide.
Just like that, another ten minutes passed.
"The regular 90-minute game time is over, the fourth official raised his sign, and there was 4 minutes of injury time. Arsenal still have four minutes to change the score, and they are still two goals behind."
"This time, Arsenal is really infinitely close to failure!"
"We have thought about how Arsenal would interrupt their unbeaten run this season, but we never thought that they would lose in the derby, against Tottenham, and lose at home!"
"Obviously, of the countless possibilities, this is the most unacceptable situation for Arsenal fans."
"But it just happened, phew~~~~~~"
Paul Merson let out a long sigh and said in a complicated tone: "We can see that the Gunners' expressions are extremely painful, and their physical fitness is running low. In this case, can Arsenal equalize the score?"
"And there are two balls!"
Paul Mawson's last words left Arsenal fans in despair.
In stoppage time, many scored two goals in a row.
But in many cases where there is a big advantage, it is almost impossible to score two goals in a row when a disadvantage is present.
Arsenal are currently in this situation.
Many Arsenal fans have even begun to acquiesce in the defeat of the game.
They had their heads drooped and looked at the court with dull expressions.
Their performance in the first half of the season was fantastic.
And this game is so bad!
Arsenal is really going to lose~!
