Atletico Madrid's ball control is less artistic than the Gunners. This team does not rely on ball control to make a living. Each of their passes has a very simple and rapid momentum.

Then, after the ball is lost, all Atletico Madrid players will launch a death siege on the Gunners' players.

With constant tackles and constant collisions, Arsenal players who want to control the rhythm of the game once again find it difficult for them to control the ball smoothly again.

In the end, after being recklessly fouled and rushed by the opponent, the Gunners also ignited anger.

From the 25th to 45th minutes of the game, bad fouls began to occur frequently in the game. As the referee showed his yellow card for the first time, everything became more and more out of control.

The Gunners' Wilhelm, Atletico Godin and Tulane, and even Chamberlain, who rolled up and pinched his opponent's collar after being thrown into the ground due to Tulane's fierce tackle foul, were all given yellow cards.

When the 45th minute of the game arrived, and after realizing that the game was out of control, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half in just one second.

This decision was undoubtedly correct. The players on both sides finally recovered from the Bullfighter's state after the whistle sounded. They quickly left the court and didn't even look at the opponents and followed their coaches into the locker room.

“…”

A considerable silence continued in the Arsenal locker room, and the professor gave the players a long time to recover from calmness.

"Is that OK?"

"I think there's no problem with the boss."

When Liu Feng responded to Wenger, the adjustments made by Gunner during the break really began to unfold.

Arsenal did not make many adjustments in the second half. With the team leading by one goal, the professor made the decision to narrow the longitudinal distance between the players.

From the distance between Liu Feng and Aguero to the four players spread out in the midfield, to the distance between the four midfielders and the back line behind him, every line of Arsenal is closer.

"Reduce unnecessary collisions with your opponents, don't be angry with them, they are just waiting for your out of control."

Before this game, after studying the game that fully demonstrated Atletico Madrid's tactics several times, the professor has an intuitive understanding of what kind of football the team under Simonsi likes to play.

"Precaution protecting yourself, of course, I don't mean losing your courage, but we have a better way to get rid of our opponents, do you understand?"

"I understand coach!"

After the arrangement was over, there was not much time left. After a short rest, the team members got up and left the locker room again.

During the entire halftime break, everyone chose not to mention the team's leading goal. Obviously, both the coach and the players realized that it was really unstable to score such a goal.

Especially after the opponent has slowly snatched away the Gunners' proud midfield rhythm in the constant collision and fighting.

"Okay, the two teams have come back to serve. The two sides exchange half-time games, and the two Atletico Madrid strikers have already stood on the court."

After the halftime break, the two sides started to fight again. The fans of the two teams had already finished resting. At the moment the game started to restart, they began to cheer for their players again.

"Madrid! Madrid! Madrid! Roar! Roar!"

"Arsenal will not defeat!!!"

Three minutes after the game restarted, Atletico Madrid, who was in possession, discovered the changes in Arsenal's entire team formation. They began to encounter more obstacles in the narrow space, which directly made their penetration more and more difficult.

Two minutes later, when the team launched an offense from the right no longer had a chance to make progress, Tulan, who had taken the ball, directly drove the ball to the position in front of the penalty area with a long pass.

"Adrian headed the ball, and he was not accurate in passing under the interference of Mertesack. Falcao directly shot from the side! The ball hit Vermalen who was blocked and was corner kicked."

Atletico Madrid's corner did not create a better chance than Falcao just now, but they realized another thing, that is, the seemingly simpler way of playing is more effective for Arsenal now.

This idea quickly made Simeone adjust the players' way of playing. After a 52-minute dead ball, Godin, who came to Simeone, brought the new order to the court.

So, from this moment on, the Arsenal players felt like they were back in the Premier League.

"Another cross from the side! Adrian headed the ball, and Szczesni hugged the ball. This was Atletico Madrid's third shot in ten minutes!"

From the fifty-five minutes, Atletico Madrid's offensive attempts began to become easier and easier. Often, after the ball was intercepted, they began to try long passes and diagonally crossed the left and right sides.

Although this direct offensive method is simple, Adrian and Falcao did contribute to threatening the offense several times after the start of the game.

When the 65th minute of the game, the professor finally couldn't sit still and turned around to make a substitution.

Phil Jones, who has a tall and outstanding heading ability, replaced Vermalen on the court, which is obviously a substitution for the opponent who constantly relies on the center to compete for the header.

Simeone also made substitutions, replacing the young forward Diego Costa with Adrian, who was also exhausted too much during the continuous impact. This forward is also an excellent confrontational ability.

After the first substitution between the two sides, it quickly entered the seventy minutes, and Atletico Madrid's offense also entered a white-hot stage.

"Another pick-up pass from the middle, the Gunners have found the opponent's offensive rules. If they don't make any changes, Diego Costa! He is strong and soft, and he has done it in one go. He did not choose to use a header to ferry."

Adrian and Costa's completely different approaches made Mertesak, who had been following this position, lose his mind for a moment, and that was enough.

"Turn into the penalty area from the right and head forward, Diego Costa made a pass, and the triangle is inverted!!!"

"Bang!"

Waiting, waiting, the moment when Atletico Madrid fans waited finally came.

When their big tiger Falkao hit the ball with one kick, the ball's speed and strength came to its extreme.

"Swish!"

The net behind Szczesni was hit hard, and the goalkeeper even maintained a posture towards Costa to prevent the striker from shooting directly.
