Chapter 473 The Greek powerhouse wants to show its power
The formation that Olympiacos set in this game was not cowardly. Compared to the 442 they set out when challenging the Gunners at Emirates Stadium, they set out the same 433 offensive formation.
Miraras, Jepur and Torichos form the home team's forward line. Although these three players in European football are not very famous, this forward line in Greece is the first forward line.
After the ball was drawn, the three forwards quickly passed the half. They were very relaxed in their home games. After getting the ball from their teammates in the middle several times, they all handled them very well.
"The situation was handled quite well after the opening game, and they did not lose the ball in several tests."
Sitting in the commentator seat at the Kareskakis Stadium, Liu Jianhong's vision was quite good. Seeing the home team's very organized transmission, he had to exclaim.
If this team can maintain this level in every game this season, their current ranking should not be at the bottom of the group.
The game showed the home team's outstanding performance in the fifteen minutes of the game. In this context, the Gunners' forward line had almost no chance of appearing, and the midfielder just tried to regain control of the rhythm after intercepting the ball.
Although Ganso and Rosici handled well in their limited few possessions, the fact is that they were under unexpected pressure.
The three midfielders of the home team, Heribas, Modesto and Maniyadis, did a very good job of blocking the offense of the two midfielders.
These three players have played a huge role in the past few regaining balls.
This situation naturally caused great cheers from home fans.
When the last opponent in the group stage was the five champions last season, no one was worried. No matter what, his team's performance on the court is obviously no worse than that of his opponent.
The better the players on the court perform, the louder the fans in the stands cheer, and then the players on the court continue to perform well when they are motivated.
For a time, a virtuous cycle was born at Kareskakis Stadium.
Wenger on the sidelines found that the team was constantly being involved in the quagmire created by the opponent. Just as he wanted to remind his players to find their form quickly, the home team's fangs shone out first.
"Olympiacos attacked again, and Olympiacos attacked from the midfield, Modesto passed the Ganso who was trying to defend him."
In the 30th minute of the game, Modesto met Ramsey, who was pressing over, the next time.
The midfielder had no intention of entangling with his opponent at all. He passed the ball to the feet of Jepur, wearing the No. 10 jersey.
"Jeble got the ball, and he and Koscheerny fought fiercely, and the ball was separated, and the ball rolled to the left."
Passing, passing, passing, there are no superstars, only strict discipline and cooperation.
Just as Miraras on the left faced the incoming ball and directly pushed the triangle to Helibas in the midfield, the home team relied on constant cooperation.
"Heribas got the ball and directly passed it straight, and the ball rolled to the right side of the penalty area!"
Alves caught up with Torichos who was pressing, but he did not stop the opponent's pass in time. This time, the home team's cross finally reached the last step.
"Bang!"
"Jeble, with a volley, the ball entered the ball! The ball entered!!!"
In the 32nd minute of the game, after Olympiacos' dazzling attack, the ball was lying firmly in the goal.
Fabianski, who had been lonely, climbed up from the ground helplessly, and looked at his opponent who was beginning to celebrate wildly, shook his head.
The entire defense line of his own was mobilized, and it was a normal result to throw the ball away after being completely passed by the opponent.
The other Gunners had nothing to say. After Fabiansky passed the ball to the midfield with one kick, the team's captain Liu Feng began to shout.
"Come on, we are in a bad state!"
As a forward, Liu Feng's observation of the entire team is not comprehensive. He can't tell why the team played like this after the start of the game. He really feels that the rhythm is completely wrong.
When Liu Feng was shouting, Wenger also took quick action, calling the team's three midfielders and the little tiger closest to him to his side.
"After the kick-off, strengthen the ball control, notify Feng and Chamake, and stabilize the ball control first."
The team was so slow to get warm today. The professor didn't think it would be of use to shout directly to the players and press them up quickly.
He made the decision he thought was the most effective at the moment, and then signaled several players to go back and notify his teammates.
Soon everyone in the Gunners team clarified the professor's new instructions, and at the end of Olympiacos' celebration, the entire Arsenal team was ready.
"Shh!"
"It's re-starting, A Feng pushes the ball towards Gansuo. The Gunners are now behind by one goal. Let's see what kind of performance they will perform after the re-starting game."
Liu Jianhong and the fans who were waiting were actually a little confused. Arsenal's performance in this game reminded them of the game against Fulham.
However, after the opening, everyone's hearts remained stable as Arsenal's shrinking formation and steady pass-through and control unfolded.
"I continued to control the ball and no longer tried to attack rashly. Except for Chamak, Afeng and Walcott began to retreat to participate in the team's midfield control."
The formation of 451 was briefly turned into, and such a change directly made the Olympiacos players who wanted to continue their efforts after scoring the goal.
Although the six players in the midfield and forward line pressed very hard, they finally realized the horror of Wenzhou football when the numerical advantage was not superior.
For five minutes, the ball was constantly shot and the ball never stopped at the Gunners' feet.
Gansuo and Liu Feng also became the protagonists on the court with their continuous simple and sharp spikes.
Without the opportunity to control the ball, there was no performance of the last time pulling and passing the final goal again. The home team got nothing in the next ten minutes.
When the whistle to the end of the midfield sounded, the players of both teams were still immersed in the game.
Liu Feng, who was still unsatisfied with kicking the ball away from his feet, shook his head, and just now he saw a clear gap between his opponent's defense line.
Under the gunman's passing and pulling, their control over the situation has come. If time continues, their chances will definitely not be far away.
However, the intermission was one step ahead of schedule.
The players of the two teams lowered their heads and entered the player's passage and began to prepare for the second half of the game.
Chapter completed!
