Chapter 77 The whole army strikes
"Good evening for CCTV, CCTV, audience members, welcome to watch the 15th round of the 2013-2014 Premier League season. Arsenal's home game against Everton. I am commentator Liu Jianhong."
"Hello everyone, I am the commentator Zhan Jun."
When the familiar opening remarks of the two commentators rang in the fans' ears, domestic fans who stayed up late to wait for the game to begin were cheering up.
On the court, both sides have decided on the kick-off and half-court and stand all of them.
"In this game, the home team Arsenal chose to kick off, and they attacked from the left side of the court to the right side in red and white jerseys."
“嘘~嘘!!!”
As soon as Liu Jianhong finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Giroud, who was standing at the kickoff point, pushed the ball out. After receiving the pass, Liu Feng quickly turned around and passed it to his midfielder. Gansuo held the ball and began to organize the team's ball control.
As we all know, unless the opponent is particularly bad, there is no attacking tactic for Arsenal teams that have a 442 formation. They are used to starting the game by controlling the ball.
But Everton naturally could not rely on everything as we all know. After the start, except Lukaku and suddenly inserted forward, the other players kept their positions, for fear that the Gunner would enter their hinterland with a kick.
As a result, the start was naturally very dull. The Everton team did not understand the formation, and the Gunners' intention to pass the ball was completely impossible. After three or four minutes of passing, they finally decided to start the team's first offense.
Gansuo passed to Walcott on the right. Walcott was unable to start speed under the interference of Milaras. After encountering McCarthy's double-team, he had nowhere to pass the ball back to Gansuo, who was receiving the support from the middle.
When Gansu got the ball, Barry had already killed him. Facing this defensive hero with huge power and fierce movements around him, Gansu didn't dare to get the ball for a long time. After he glanced at Liu Feng who was inserted from the corner of his eye, he tried to use a straight pass to create a murderous intent.
Unfortunately, under the shout of Martinez, Everton's bus opening was airtight, and the ball was cut off by Barkley before it could reach Liu Feng's feet.
The ball rights changed hands, and the Gunners' first offensive attempt ended in vain.
If Everton cuts the ball and starts attacking quickly, the game may look better, but the fact is that the tactics arranged by Martinez for the team obviously do not include launching a fierce attack in the fifteen minutes of the game.
Bucks, who broke the ball, quickly cooperated with McCarthy. After observing the Gunners' standing, they chose to control the ball. They dared not make too risky attempts like Gansuo.
After all, when Arsenal really starts to take the ball seriously, it is difficult for them to take the ball off.
So the game fell into a very boring picture. Relying on the number of players and the tough style of the players, Everton controlled the ball.
But that's all, their pass control has no beauty, and it's just to avoid the ball being cut off.
Even so, after controlling for a period of time, the ball will be cut off by Arsenal. If Everton's turtle shell was not too hard and the Gunners' forced breakthrough and infiltration did not play a good threat, Arsenal might have taken the lead long ago.
As time goes by in this boring way, you cut off me and I cut off you, I don’t attack with the ball, and the scene of your attack and I huddling, the fans in the stands are a little relieved.
However, at this moment, when Arsenal also began to consider playing in other ways due to more than 30 minutes of continuous attempts, Everton's offense hit like a storm.
"The Gunners' offensive momentum has slowed down. It seems that the players' mentality has been a little weak when facing the bus for a long time. Oh~, it's intercepting the ball! Barkley cut off the ball under Gansuo's feet, and hesitated just now about whether to pass the ball."
In the 34th minute of the game, Everton intercepted the ball in his own midfield, and then at the next moment, the Everton midfielders who were originally defending the Gunners' offensive players suddenly broke out.
"boom!!!"
The first thing I realized was Everton fans, who were familiar with their team's style of attacking, and they knew very well that this was a signal for the team to attack in full swing.
Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun also reacted immediately.
"The attack was weak, and the power Everton had accumulated exploded at this moment! Barkley and McCarthy passed two passes and passed Ramsey, and they had completed a breakthrough from the middle."
On the court, Milaras and Pinal were not slower than their two midfield teammates on the wing, which made the next moment when Walcott made up for defense and came to Barkley who was getting the ball, the midfielder quickly passed the ball to the next moment when the Gunners defended.
"Milalas got the ball, and Kavajal quickly inserted it to block it. The two did not collide head-on. Milaras passed the ball again, and this time he gave Lukaku, who stuck Koscheerny's back."
"Swish~"
The ball was swept directly out, and Lukaku's ability as a fulcrum was unquestionable. The ball was steadily transferred to the team's right by him.
"Pinal inserted it and shot directly in front of the ball!!!"
"Bang!"
Without the delicate cooperation of Arsenal, Everton's entire team attacked Arsenal's unexpected attack. They dared not bet on the situation when the team's offense was slowed down and the team was pulled by Arsenal and left behind the opponent's half.
At that time, as long as Arsenal sends a terrifying and accurate long pass, Liu Feng can make a hole in their defense.
It is precisely because of this that Pinal's shot was really a little anxious. Although his strength was strong, his angle was average.
"Schchensny jumped and he punched the ball. The ball did not fly out of the baseline but flew towards the penalty area!"
For a moment, the Gunners' penalty area fell into chaos, and Lukaku broke out like a small tank, while Koscheerny was chasing him.
"Lukaku followed up with the header~ Ferry! He didn't attack, Szczesny made another save by his fake move, and Barkley outside the penalty area shot another long shot!"
"Bang!"
Second knocking on the door, he was unable to defend. Szczesni, who had just landed on the ground, had no time to adjust his posture. He could only forcefully reach out and watch the ball fly into the goal from a place he could not touch.
"The ball is in! It is in! It is in! Everton scored the first goal of the game. Barkley received the goal from Lukaku and scored outside the penalty area!"
"Wonderful!"
Chapter completed!
