Arsenal's possession of the ball is still excellent, they still dominate the pitch; But with an injury to an experienced centre-back and goalkeeper, their backline is not as stable as it was before.

After Hoffenheim adapted to the rhythm of the opponent, Arshavin gradually detached himself from the defense, and he returned to the position of a little back in the front and half to form an echo with Ruud van Nistelrooy, connecting the front and back of the field, although he was a little thin alone, but the Tsar's individual ability was very strong, and Azena's players did not dare to take him lightly.

When Galla was there, Vanney couldn't play all his abilities under the attack between him and Toure, after Galla went down, Toure and Jolu didn't cooperate so well, and Gioru's personal ability was far less than Gala, and it was difficult to control Vanney, the king of the small penalty area had a strong body, excellent skills, and extremely rich experience. He alone can pose a threat to Arsenal's backline. He formed a good combination with Arshavin after receiving a long pass from the back, and Arsenal's two forwards Diaby and Song did not dare to insert assists as casually as they did in the opening game.

In the last minutes of the first half, Arsenal suffered demoralization due to injuries to two main players and did not launch a more violent attack, Hoffenheim had just gasped for breath and did not dare to provoke easily, and the game passed in a relatively calm rhythm.

When Hoffenheim's players walked off the field, there was warm applause in the stands, fans rarely saw the first half of the game without a goal, but they were very satisfied with the performance of the players, from the performance of the first ten minutes of the first half, Hoffenheim was basically slaughtered by the fate, and now actually blocked Arsenal's attack, did not let the opponent score, and injured the opponent's two main players, what else can the fans ask for.

Back in the dressing room, Rangnick applauded the players and congratulated the players: "I am very satisfied with the score and performance, we underestimated the quality of the opponent before the game, the opponent's style of play is something we have never touched, I think after this game, whether we can advance or not, we can get a good improvement." ”

Most of the players in the dressing room were scared by Arsenal in the first half, and they lacked confidence to advance, and they deeply agreed with Rangnick's words, thinking that such a result was already very good.

But Li Huan said flatly: "I don't think we have no chance, isn't there a lot of middle and lower teams in the Premier League who have beaten Arsenal?" ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Huan, and Arshavin said: "Arsenal's importance to this game cannot be compared with the league. Obasi said: "We have too few people who can put in the attack, and if we don't improve the efficiency of the attack, it will be too difficult to score." ”

Ruud van Nistelrooy stood on Li Huan's side and said: "When I was at Manchester United, I often played against Arsenal, and the skills of this team are the best in the Premier League, but they have never been able to win the championship over the years, not because they can't beat Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and other strong teams, but because they can't break the dense defense of the middle and lower teams." They couldn't do anything about us in the first half. In the two-legged knockout round, home is also a good score. ”

Rangnick smiled: "Ruud van Nistelrooy is right, 0-0 at home is also a good scoreline. It's a 1-minute game. If we can keep a clean sheet at home, then there will be more pressure on us at Arsenal and they have to score two goals if we score a goal.

We had to defend in the second half and it was better to score goals, and if we couldn't score, it wasn't important that we couldn't let Arsenal score. ”

Then Rangnick laid out the tactics of the second half in detail, the marking tactics in the first half were improvised, not strict, mainly relying on the advantage of numbers, when the midfield was resting, Wenger and other tactical masters must make targeted adjustments, Hoffenheim to defend like the first half, it is definitely not possible.

Arsenal were the first to emerge from the dressing room after the 15-minute break, unhappy with the first-half scoreline, coming from London aiming to win the game and at worst get a goalless draw that would allow them to dominate at home. Now there are only forty-five minutes left, and they have to work hard.

After the game restarted, Arsenal did not change the style of play, but the frontcourt personnel Nasri, Walcott, Fabregas frequently exchanged positions in the left and right middle three lanes, trying to disrupt Hoffenheim's man-to-man defense, but Rangnick had taken this into account at halftime, Hoffenheim's players adopted a combination of zone and man-to-man defense, players do not regularly mark players, as long as the opponent's players enter the full defensive area, they will stick to mark.

Arsenal's passing and cutting speed is very fast, but their ability to cooperate in a small space is still not comparable to Barcelona, in the case of Hoffenheim's marking defense and fouls, it is greatly hindered, and after Arshavin reaches the midfield, Arsenal's back does not dare to press easily, and only relies on the attacking players in the front court to break the deadlock.

Walcoat was caught by Weiss and Ibetsberg on the left side, and the breakthrough was blocked, so he switched to Hoffenheim's right side to confront Li Huan, and Fabregas also came to help.

Walcott's speed is about 10 seconds to 10 seconds to 1 3, and the offensive players take the initiative "It can indeed pose a great threat to Li Huan, but now Hoffenheim is taking a dense defense, Li Huan is near the penalty area, and it is basically impossible for Walcott to break through Li Huan in such a short distance."

Fabregas moved to Li Huan's side on the right, Obasi immediately followed, now he basically has no offensive tasks, has been assisting Li Huan in the backfield defense, the Nigerian is conscientious in attack and defense, Gubregas has recovered from a serious illness, the state has not fully recovered, it is difficult to get rid of Obasi's defense.

Walcott began to be very confident, wanting to beat Li Huan for a time difference, he felt that with his own speed, how could he not get rid of Li Huan if he started first.

Walcott took the ball on the edge of the penalty area and made a feint, and immediately broke through to the bottom line with the ball, Li Huan's reaction was not slow, Walcourt started first, and he immediately followed, and the difference between the two was less than half a position.

With the speed of two people, the bottom line is here in a blink of an eye, Walket wants to cross, but Li Huan follows very closely on the inside line, only a gap in position, Volko does not dare to guarantee that the pass will not be stolen by Li Huan, but he can't throw Li Huan farther away with all his strength, see that the bottom line has arrived, Walket can only barely cross with his feet.

Walcott only has two options: cross and emergency stop" Walcott's speed slowed down a little before taking up, Li Huan was immediately ready, Walcoat passed, Li Huan also got up to intercept, and the ball hit Li Huan's leg and went out of the bottom line.

Cesc Fabregas's reserve wanted to find Nasri at the back post, but Simunic headed the ball over the line.

Arsenal sent another corner to Diaby's head, but Diaby's header in the crowd was very reluctant, and the ball flew high above his head and was collected by goalkeeper Hildebrand.

After receiving the ball, Hildebrand kicked the ball to the front of the court to find Ruud van Nistelrooy, although there was only one point in the front court, but as long as Ruud van Nistelrooy had a chance to get it, it could be a threat.

However, Hildebrand's footwork cannot be compared with Li Huan, and the ball was directly driven to the opponent's goalkeeper, and Fabianski handed the ball back to Diaby immediately after getting the ball.

Diaby may have been criticized by Wenger in the dressing room, this time he did not drag the ball, and handed the ball directly to Fabregas, Fabregas saw Li Huan leave the vicinity of the penalty area when he kicked off, and Walcourt just got a corner kick on Li Huan's side, and immediately distributed the ball to Walcott again, and continued to attack on the right side.

Walcott sprinted to the bottom line with the ball again, Li Huan stuck the inside line, and followed closely, Walco's special effects shook Li Huan away with a change in rhythm, but Li Huan's ability to control his body was by no means worse than him, and Walcoat couldn't get rid of it. Fabregas and Obasi were far less fast than the two speed maniacs, and they could only hang from behind and watch.

Li Huan made full use of his physical advantages in the process of running, and kept hitting Walcourt with his shoulder, Walcott was less than 23 years old, his body was still relatively thin, and he couldn't stand up after being hit by Li Huan twice in a row during the run, when Li Huan hit Walket with his shoulder again, Walket knocked away from his own runway, and the ball was lost control, and Li Huan squeezed into his position and snatched the ball.

This is the first time Walket was forcibly stealing the ball at full speed, and when he saw Li Huan's mother's body trying to protect the ball from the bottom line, he pushed Li Huan to the ground from behind in shame and anger.

Hoffenheim got another free kick near the bottom line, Li Huan waved his teammates to press forward, but when the Arsenal players also followed the Hoffenheim players to retreat, Li Huan suddenly ran forward and handed the serve to Simunich, who willingly passed the ball to Li Huan, who quickly followed the side to Arsenal's half.

Walcott is Arsenal's first line of defense, seeing Li Huan rushing towards him, he did not retreat to meet the defenders in the backfield, but directly met him, he didn't think he could cut off the ball, but wanted to put Li Huan down directly.

However, Li Huan is very experienced, how could he be entangled with Walket here, and he couldn't even head his head, so he knocked the ball back and continued to run forward, he believed that his teammates behind him would definitely give him another ball.
