When the first goal was born, there were only five minutes left in the first half.

Although Arsenal took the ball and wanted to quickly complete a snatch after the kickoff, unfortunately their attack was blocked when it penetrated into the heart of Everton's midfield.

Before Gansuo could get the ball, he had time to stuff the ball to Liu Feng who had already reached the position, he was knocked down by Ottoman and Fellaini who were actively defending.

For this wonderful defensive cooperation, the referee naturally would not blew the foul whistle just because of the offensive players. Therefore, amid the huge booing of the Emirates Stadium, Everton completed a quick counterattack.

Fortunately, even though the team was eager to equalize, Granero and De Jong did not intervene too deeply. They both stood firmly and forced Everton, who had just accelerated, to slow down.

With the continuous transmission, time soon came forty-five minutes. When Gibson got Ottoman's pass and realized that time was about to come, he picked up the pass and wanted to cooperate with Milaras in front of Mertesack.

Unfortunately, the pick-up height was too low. Mertesack jumped high and headed the ball to the side, and Everton's attack ended.

Then, the referee decisively blew the whistle in his mouth, and the first half ended.

0-1, Arsenal fell behind at home at halftime, and their opponents were not only steady in defense but also slightly better than them in offense. In short, they were rarely suppressed at home.

The team members returned to the locker room, and everyone was sweating profusely. The professor gave them time to wipe their sweat and hydrate. Wenger spoke until everyone was seated.

"You should learn from your opponents."

“…”

As soon as they opened their mouths, the team members were silent. Everyone looked up at the professor and looked at him with some confusion.

"Four times, they only successfully attacked four times in a system, and the ball was lying in our goal. Do I need me to tell you the number of attacks?"

After pulling the tactical board, the professor's words were actually quite a slap in the face, because Arsenal's offensive chances in the first half were really doubled than Everton.

But although they have many offensive opportunities, they do not have the final say in their opponents, which is really a bit of a blow to the offensive team.

Liu Feng and Gan Suo all lowered their heads, and they seemed a little embarrassed for a moment.

However, the professor did not continue to talk about this. Even Liu Feng could not bring shooting boots every game. As the team's single arrow, he made several balls in the first half to create opportunities for his teammates.

"The second half of the table will reduce your chances of useless attacks and extend the ball control time as long as possible."

He pointed his hand at the stamp representing Gansuo, and the professor glanced at the players: "The attack does not always require close contact with the opponent, and the ball can be given to Granero."

As the team's back-drag deputy core, Granero has very few opportunities to perform in the first half, but every time he appears, the Gunners will be able to complete a high-quality offense.

The professor's meaning is also very clear. He dragged the ball back and pulled out the opponent's formation, and then relied on Granero's long pass dispatching ability to launch an attack. Everyone nodded quickly to express their understanding.

"clear!"

"In addition, you can use your opponent's big moves to create some set-piece opportunities. Set-pieces are hope for them to score goals, and we are the same."

“Learn from the boss!”

As early as last season, the professor has been honing the team's set-piece tactics. In terms of offense, their tactical cooperation may not be worse than Everton.

"Don't forget where this is. I hope to see your changes in the second half."

After knocking on the tactical board, the professor put his hand on his ear and made a trumpet to signal the players to listen to the shouts of gun fans outside. Losing at home is really a shame for the Gunners today.

"I understand coach!"

The players raised their heads and responded loudly, obviously they would still try their best in the second half.

When the door of the locker room was knocked again, the players walked out of the locker room and entered the court with the head of captain Liu Feng.

In the second half, Arsenal will kick off, and Liu Feng and Wilhel stood face to face to serve.

"Shh!"

With a whistle, the ball was pushed out and the game started again.

At the beginning, the Gunners did not try to attack Everton because their opponents were obviously ready to defend the ball during the kickoff period. Except for Miraras, they crossed the half alone, and there were ten away players in the Toffees half.

In this case, the players naturally implemented the professor's strategy to keep the ball firmly under their feet. As the team's deputy core, Granero frequently took the ball.

Of course, he did not pass forward with his eyes closed, but instead operated as the center of the team for a long time, and sometimes he would switch positions with Wilhelm.

This made some Everton players who were staring at him with the ball and worried that he would take the ball to numb.

The stalemate between the two sides lasted fifteen minutes, and until the sixty minutes of the game, Everton still led by one goal.

Sixty minutes seemed to be a node in Everton's tactics. In the Gunners' endless ball control but no pressure, the Toffees finally couldn't help it.

"The ball under Gansuo's feet was cut off, Everton launched another attack, Ottoman took the ball and crossed the half, and they began to push up a lot."

Four midfielders and two forwards all rushed up during this attack. This attack was not hastily, and several people continued to pass the ball and moved.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the Gunners' defense.

However, De Jong clearly knew who the opponent was the real core. In the 63rd minute of the game, when Everton's offensive pass came to Fellaini's feet, the veteran scored a ball and let Fellaini throw it on the field.

Then, he got up and poked the ball out directly, and the ball came to Granero's feet.

"Granero received the ball, and no one around him pressed immediately, and sent it for a long time! Ganso, who had just chased back to the midfield, got the ball!"

Removed the ball and pulled the ball and turned around, and a set of actions were completed in one go. When Gansuo turned his head and rushed forward, Everton had only four defenders and goalkeepers in the middle.

Although the offensive players on the Gunners' side are only Gansuo and Liu Feng, Wilshire and Ramsey are trying their best to keep up from the left and right sides, both Gansuo and Liu Feng are already thinking about it.

"The shooting strides forward, Everton became a wide racetrack in the first half, and Arsenal's counterattack is coming!!!"
Chapter completed!
