Chapter 801 The conspiracy under the bus
Le Kai returned to his position in silence, his mind returning to the previous defense.
There is no doubt that a large part of the loss this time is due to my own problems.
First of all, when he was competing for the first point, he already knew that Henderson was going to split the ball, but he was still blindly confident in his physical confrontation ability. He wanted to use strength to suppress the opponent, and he didn't even think about interference at all.
Secondly, in the process of returning to the defense, Henderson was completely ignored. Even though he knew that the opponent was behind him, he believed that he could complete the interception, so he did not defend closely.
Finally led the opponent to complete the goal.
Lucky allows himself to make mistakes, but he does not allow himself to make mistakes because of his own expansion.
I don't know when it started, facing the praise and compliments from the outside world and his teammates, he gradually became blindly confident.
It seems that I really think I am the number one in the world!
This inflated mentality led to that goal.
Not cautious enough!
Not focused enough!
And underestimated Henderson!
Le Kai exhaled slowly, his gaze became firm.
The points you lose, you get back!
"There were problems with Kay's two defensive decisions. We rarely see such mistakes in defensive decision-making from Kay, but we must admit that Kay needs to bear a lot of responsibility for this conceded goal!"
Paul Merson frowned and said: "Of course it's just a conceded goal. We can't ask everyone to make no mistakes. After all, even those players at the top level make mistakes. We still expect Kai to adjust quickly!"
In the game, Aubameyang is close to Wilshere.
"Should we comfort the captain? Let him not mind!"
Facing Aubameyang's proposal, Wilshere grinned and said, "We just need to take care of ourselves. Do you think Kay can be defeated so easily?"
Hearing this, Aubameyang froze for a moment.
Wilshere narrowed his eyes and said; "That guy's heart is very strong, he is strong enough to digest this kind of mistake! And this will in turn motivate him to play! Just wait and see!"
Aubameyang doesn't understand very well. If he makes a mistake, he may be worried about gains and losses, always thinking about why he didn't cheer up.
But since Wilshere said so, he didn't express too much.
Players from both sides come to their respective halfs.
Arsenal kick off again!
After the game restarted, Henderson's performance became more active. Perhaps because of the previous goal, his self-confidence increased a lot.
Arsenal continued to play steadily.
Lucky's defense is still solid, and he is not doing too much individual defense, but waiting for his teammates to carry out joint defense.
Although the visual effect of this defense is not as clean as a tackle, it makes Liverpool feel uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that Arsenal's defensive position is very solid.
Their running positions and blocking restricted Liverpool's passing lines, and as they kicked, Liverpool felt something was wrong.
Obviously they are controlling the ball, but why do they feel like being led by the nose?
"Jack! Left!"
"Kanter, block through neutral!"
"Beautiful! Jimenez!"
Lucky is constantly commanding his teammates to defend, and under Lucky's command, Arsenal's defense has become more and more stable.
Obviously Liverpool was playing around Arsenal, but they couldn't get in.
Mourinho on the sidelines also looked at Arsenal's defense in a daze.
This defense is a little too cautious, right?
Arsenal as a whole seems to be retreating, not pressing and defending, but blocking the opponent's through channel again and again.
"It feels weird!"
Arteta also reacted immediately.
Mourinho sighed; "Of course it's weird, because Arsenal is controlling Liverpool's pass!"
Arteta turned his head in astonishment.
“First of all, due to the deep retracement of our defense line, Liverpool can freely control the ball backwards!”
"But in the face of falling, we are determined not to grab!"
Arteta: "That can be a long pass, or go straight to the striker's feet!"
Mourinho raised two fingers; "So there is rule two!"
"What we need to be wary of is Liverpool's striker, so use dense defense to block all the space that strikers want to use, and at the same time stand still!"
"And the central defenders don't move at all, only the midfielder does this work!"
"So even if Liverpool's striker goes forward, they have no room to start!"
"Liverpool players feel that the through pass is useless, so they start to pass frequently!"
"And even if it's an uphill grab, they won't really grab it, but block the opponent's passing route!"
"Once! Twice! Three times! Gradually the hardest hit."
Henderson was a little anxious, why couldn't he get in.
Arsenal's sudden change of kicking law made them feel very uncomfortable.
Attempts to attack again and again, but are pushed back abruptly by the opponent again and again.
No front-running channel, no space available.
This is simply impossible to rush in!
"Forget it! It's not bad to keep the lead!"
thought Henderson.
He didn't notice that his catching action became loose and slow.
At this moment, Lucky suddenly started.
"careful!"
Henderson was taken aback by the sudden roar of his teammates.
When he looked up, Le Kai had already appeared in front of him.
Henderson was full of panic, he immediately pulled the ball and wanted to turn around to protect the ball.
But Lucy suddenly stretched out his foot and poked the ball out.
Immediately, he went around from the side.
"Counterattack!!!!!!—"
Wilshere let out a loud roar, and immediately ran as hard as he could.
Arsenal's players are also running forward quickly.
"Kay! A key steal!! Arsenal's chance to counterattack!"
Lucky's quick dribble.
The central defender retreated to the frontier defense, but seeing that Lucky's counterattack was too fast, they could only send out one person to run to limit.
But after one person is separated, the gap behind him can be used by Lucky.
Seeing Lovren stepping forward, Le Kai pretended to move horizontally, but suddenly stabbed him with his feet.
The ball shuttled forward very quickly. At the same time, Mane on the side also accelerated again, chasing the ball quickly.
The right side seemed to have missed the defense, and Van Dijk was completely panicked, and he rushed over immediately to steal the ball.
But at the moment when the opponent rushed towards him, Mane completed the cross.
Giroud completed the forward move and easily pushed the goal against the Liverpool goalkeeper.
42 minutes, at the moment when the first half was about to end, Arsenal equalized the score!
"Pretty!!!!-"
Mourinho on the sidelines jumped high, waving his arms excitedly.
Arsenal's decision to concede the ball and counterattack this time is simply perfect.
The sudden change of tactics made it difficult for Liverpool to adapt and consumed the attention of the midfielder. When the Liverpool midfielder wanted to retreat, Lucky suddenly stepped forward and made a steal.
If there is no Lucky, this tactic will take a while.
But with Lucky's keen eye for steal opportunities, it works quickly.
A highly targeted tactical restriction.
Even Mourinho has to admire Lucky's understanding and sensitivity to tactics.
but
Mourinho shook his head and said: "Some people should scold me for placing the bus again. Lucky's targeted tactical changes are based on the premise of placing the bus, and Mourinho has a record in this regard, so this blame Ask him to carry it!"
But Mourinho is happy to be potted, as long as he can win.
At the same time, Liverpool was at a loss.
They don't know how to lose the ball, why this sudden change happened.
Klopp off the field is also frowning.
He is also a hindsight. After all, unlike Mourinho, a senior "bus expert", he is not particularly familiar with this tactical system, so his reaction is slower.
But by the time he reacted, it was too late!
Arsenal equalized the score.
"When all of us thought the game would fall into a dull moment, Kay's sudden steal blew the horn of Arsenal's counterattack."
"With extremely crisp steals and three-dimensional counterattack efficiency, Arsenal equalized the score at the last moment of the first half!"
"After Kai made a mistake and lost the ball, he didn't bow his head like a failure, but chased hard, and finally made a contribution!"
“And this counterattack reminds us once again that we must be careful of Kai’s press, he can always make a key press! Just like this moment!”
