Chapter 276 Tactical Dilemma
As He Wei announced the start of both sides, the showdown on the court gradually entered a white-hot stage.
As the fifteen minutes of the game passed, all the players of the two teams had entered the game state, and the collisions between the two sides were frequent. For a time, Villa and Gabby, as well as the Gunners' Wilshire and Ramsey became the most players on the court.
The fierce and tough style of these four players is obviously different from other players. Cork and Cazorla are the kind of hard and soft, and they also use some clever movements and adjustments to change the team's ball control rhythm, so the two are less conspicuous.
"boom!"
"Shh!!!"
In the stands, fans of both sides occasionally made sarcastic or angry calls to each other, and these sounds were all caused by the pictures on the court.
For example, when Wilshire and Ramsey grabbed the ball from their opponents through a fierce press, gun fans will inevitably shout loudly when the opponents are stumbled to show their presence. Atletico Madrid fans naturally cannot let their opponents be arrogant and yell back immediately.
On the court, Villa, who was holding Moshi's head, would never let down the roar of his fans and quickly directed his teammates to launch a counter-robbery.
For a time, tackles and collisions occurred in the midfield on the court, with countless fouls and small moves. The referee's derivative moments were wide open, fearing that a wrong penalty would cause the already accumulated smell of gunpowder to be ignited directly.
Even so, when the time came thirty minutes, the players on both sides had already taken a yellow card.
First, Villa flew on the side to the moment Wilshire intercepted the ball and prepared to pass the ball, and the opponent directly knocked him down and received a yellow card. Then Ramsey directly hit the opponent's lower plate in the competition with Gaby and made him fall to the ground and roll for several laps.
This obvious move to pull down the person was severely punished by the referee, and Ramsey also received a yellow card.
However, the two yellow cards did not play any role in consolidating both sides. The two sides were still very fierce and fierce in the midfield competition, but the yellow cards themselves were consolidating.
In this case, both teams have fewer offensive opportunities, as their midfielders have to focus most of their energy on dealing with opponents’ interference.
The stalemate between the two sides was always present, and after thirty minutes, they only launched a few attacks on each other. In the end, they were all because of the opponent's back line that was strictly guarded and defended to the death.
"The main competition between the two teams is maintained within the midfield range, which gives them little chance to play on the front line. In addition to their beautiful offense and defense within ten minutes of the game, Liu Feng, Costa and others have not appeared in the camera for a long time."
He Wei in the commentary seat told an obvious fact, and countless fans were also helpless. Although the midfield confrontation between the two teams and the gunpowder-filled rushing each other seemed very exciting, what they wanted to see more was the goal.
Time passed by minute by minute. In the 37th minute of the game, Villa forced the ball to push the ball in the midfield against Wilshire's flying tackle and then turned the whole person and rushed out, completing his personal breakthrough.
"It's over halftime, Ramsey quickly made up for defense, Villa's extreme pass!"
"Swish~"
Just as Ramsey was about to complete the backup defense again, Villa's entire body shoveled out and forced the game to split him out before his feet arrived one step faster than him.
"Costa got the ball and directly accelerated forward. Atletico Madrid's overall offensive speed also instantly!"
"Boom! Atletico Madrid! Atletico Madrid! Oh oh oh ~"
In the stands, the roar of Atletico Madrid fans came. Looking at Costa who was moving forward rapidly, everyone was looking forward to the next development of their own offense.
"Cock also quickly stepped in to the support on the left. Raul Garcia from the middle has arrived in front of the Gunners' back line. His running alone made both Gunners' guards dare not act rashly. He passed the ball, but still gave it to the left!"
"Peng!"
The next second, Cork kept kicking the ball and driving it out again the second before Alves attacking.
"Forty-five crosses, the ball flew towards Garcia, Mertesacker jumped at the same time, headed the ball, Costa had already run to the open space and shot!!!"
"Peng!"
As a team that is good at defense, Atletico Madrid's offense mainly plays the word "fast". Their combination of punches really did not give Arsenal's defense more time. When Costa pulled the ball out of the line on the right side of the penalty area, Mertesack had just landed, and Alba, who returned to defense, was at least two positions away from him.
"Swish~"
"The ball is in! Szczesni was unable to save the ball, and Costa's shot was strong. In the 39th minute of the game, the first goal was born!!!"
"boom!"
The next second, countless Atletico Madrid fans were in high spirits, and on the stadium, the goal-scoring hero Costa was quickly surrounded by his teammates. The forward, full of strange charm, rushed to the corner flag area and celebrated wildly towards the camera.
"Who could have thought that Atletico Madrid's goal in this game was not a defensive counterattack but a successful breakthrough in the middle of his home. The stalemate between the two sides really gave Atletico Madrid, who is better at fighting this kind of tug-of-war."
The Arsenal players stood on the court with some weakness. Looking at the opponents celebrating wildly, they didn't know what to say for a moment. Several defensive players who were directly stuck by their opponents lowered their heads in annoyance, but Wenger on the sidelines did not mean to blame anyone.
"Give full play to your strengths! Don't be entangled with your opponents all the time! Speed! We need speed!"
The professor is now aware of the problem of his own tactics, which is the most important thing to avoid on the court - fighting against his opponents in areas where his opponents are good at.
"Get the ball quickly and don't get entangled with them anymore!"
Quickly arrange new instructions, and there is little time left in the first half but it will never be gone. In this case, changing the tactics may be useful.
The players quickly understood when they heard the request of their professor. Several core players exchanged glances with each other. Then as Szczesny drove the ball to the middle, they quickly stood in their respective positions.
"Okay, it seems that Arsenal has not been affected by the excessive goals of this goal. They are ready to kick off again."
When gun fans saw their team's response in this way, their hearts were quietly relieved. A goal behind was nothing for Arsenal. As long as the team did not give up, everything would turn around.
