Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 63 There are always surprises
γ quANBEnγ Arsenal said that "they have the upper hand in terms of scores and points, and when it comes to passing coordination, Hoffenhaiyao is still a head behind Arsenal, and the pirate Gunners still have a certain point." β
βγ Arshavin handed the ball to Baker on the left side of the penalty area, and Baker broke through to the bottom line and fell to the ground and crossed, but the pass was already out of the line. Arsenal, who dominated possession, shot again, and the fox Eduardo in the box was on target. Silva received a real ball from his teammate and fired a quick shot from the edge of the box just over the crossbar
In the first minute, Eboue crossed from the right side of Hoffenheim near the back post, and Li Huan cleverly lobed a shot far but the ball went to the side-netting. In the first minute, Hoffenhaiyao won a corner kick opportunity, and Arshavin's curling shot from the edge of the left side of the penalty area was safely confiscated by Manone. A minute later, Li Huan kicked a strange shot from the left side of the penalty area, and Hildebrand received the ball with both hands, but the ball rebounded quickly and high over the crossbar. β
The game was carried out in a tense and fierce atmosphere, there was a burst of screams and cheers from the stands from time to time, both sides had opportunities to shoot, but neither scored, although Arsenal occupied the advantage of possession, and got more opportunities than Hoffenheim, but after conceding the goal, Hoffenheim's defense was tighter, Arsenal's possession advantage could not be converted into a victory, both sides were actively creating offensive opportunities, and at the same time soothing the opponent's offensive.
When the first half of the game entered the final stoppage time, the offensive of both sides was reduced, and the risk of attacking became greater at this time, in case the opponent seized the opportunity to score one, and there was not even time to fight back, and the two sides invariably chose to play again in the second half.
After two minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the players on both sides finally breathed a sigh of relief and dragged their tired bodies towards the dressing room, even though they were all very professional players, and they felt tired after playing ten minutes in a tense and suffocating rhythm, and not only physically. It's more spiritual.
The dressing room is like the backstage of the fashion show, where the players and coaches meet. It's full of abuse and conflict, and the slightest carelessness can affect the team's morale. Stars can shower, wipe sweat, throw jerseys, joke, frolic or argue. The performance of the people is completely different from the performance on the court. Outsiders have no way of knowing what they're talking about, but it's filled with the smell of sweat, soap, jerseys and boots thrown everywhere, as well as a team's tactical secrets and team culture.
This is where the manager lays out the tactics and the team leader teaches the young players. The dressing room is where the players come together to forge alliances and strengthen cohesion, and it can also be the beginning of gang fights and divisions.
When leading, Arsenal's dressing room has always been the world of Joan players, Wenger basically does not come to the dressing room, and even if he does, most of them go around in a circle, say two words of encouragement and praise and leave, leaving the free time for the players themselves. Even if there are any tactics to arrange, most of them are done by the bigwigs in the locker room.
The Hoffenheim dressing room is different, Rangnick has always been the controller of the locker room, and he has always made tactical adjustments at halftime, of course, sometimes he will be angry in the locker room, and Rushuai is not not angry, but how many times he gets angry.
The atmosphere in the home team's dressing today is very tense, no one goes to the bathroom to shower, no one eats and drinks, everyone is honestly sitting in the seats in front of their wardrobes, and the head coach Lanzuk walks around the locker room with a serious expression, and his every step creates psychological pressure on the players.
"You're afraid, you're afraid of Li Huan's little Li Flying Knife. So you're afraid of intense physical contact, you don't dare to be more aggressive, you play so well, you don't even get a yellow card. β
Rangnick started a somewhat sarcastic speech, he didn't want to make a spillover speech, that wouldn't have any impact on the outcome, and then the players changed like they were reborn, and then the second-half beating was always something that would only happen in a Hollywood movie.
"But is it useful to be afraid? You were in awe of him like an idiot, we made a lot of arrangements, but he scored a goal, they took the upper hand of the game, and if we played like this in the second half, the result was already decided, so we had to change and let them know how strong you are! Even if we lose this game, we have to make them suffer. β
Rangnick's words played a certain role, many players raised their heads, obviously Rangnick said to their hearts, they were indeed afraid, when Li Huan was in Hoffenheim, the players were not aware of this, they were unscrupulous in attack and defense, and when Li Huan was in the camp of Arsenal, the Hoffenheim players finally felt the feelings of the opponent team they played against. Li Huan likes to be in a safe corner, but his influence has dominated the entire court, under the nuclear deterrence of Xiao Li's flying knife, ordinary teams do not dare to foul easily, because it is equivalent to giving the opponent a penalty. It's very troublesome to fight like this, and you can't play your own tricks with fear.
Rangnick saw that his words had a certain effect, and began to make tactical arrangements and deployments, "Today's two wings, one is a strong attack, and the other is to drag Li Huan's hind legs, so that they don't dare to attack boldly, you did a good job in the first half." In the middle, as a technical team, penetration in the middle is always the first choice, and if we only play two wings, we will be able to scrap our strongest weapon.
Against Arsenal's defense, we used boldness, don't be afraid, anyway, we have already lost one, and it is on our own home turf, we have to increase our defensive efforts, we can be killed, but we must not accept being scared to death. Alright, I'm done talking, let's rest. β
Rangnick left the dressing room decisively, he needed to give the players time to digest their words, and the leaders in the dressing room should also cheer up the players at this time.
The players in the locker room looked as if they were loosened, and their expressions were visibly relaxed. Then they all looked at each other.
"Oh God! Did Ralph curse? β
A few ditches, he's thick and we're stupid
Simunich, who gradually established himself in the dressing room, said: "We're really going to have to play with our lives. Rangnick is going crazy! You should understand the consequences of losing. β
Yaisler said: "The coach is right, we can't be too afraid, because we are afraid of Li Huan's little Li Feidao, we don't dare to make tactical fouls, anyway, we are already going to lose." After the loss, our road to qualification has become extremely difficult, in order to win, in order to qualify, we have to do anything good to do. β
Arshavin now also has a certain right to speak, he has been thinking about it just now, and said: "Arsenal's strength is not worse than ours, if we fight timidly, the victory will definitely not belong to us." We should defend boldly, we have two high strikers, and I think we should still go wide and play high. β
At the start of the second half, Simunic said: "We have to trust each other, both offensively and defensively, football is a game of wholeness, and as long as we stick together, we can beat any team." Okay, come on, let's play. "At the start of the second half, it was clear to Arsenal that their opponents' attack and defence had become very tough, their fluid coordination had become congealed, and their dashing demeanor was immediately wiped out when the opponent shoveled and rolled on the turf. Seeing this tricky problem, Arsenal's players also became nervous.
The fans didn't know what happened in the Hoffenheim dressing room during the break, but they knew that there must have been some story in the Hoffenheim dressing room, so in the second half of the game, the whole team of Hoffenheim was like a different person, shoveling the arsenal to the back, and in the attack, Hoffenheim also played beautifully, Baker and Arshavin resolutely carried out a little breakthrough attack, broke through Klich's defense, and then crossed the bottom to form several shooting opportunities.
Even on the scene, it occupies a certain initiative.
The Hoffenheiyao fans in the stands cheered. shouted: "Huo Cun into one!" Huo Cun into one! "Cheer on your players.
Rangnick's face also showed a hint of relief, these disciples of his have finally understood and executed their tactical requirements, and if this continues, it is more likely to reverse the defeat. "You can only play like this against Arsenal, and you can only beat him if you hurt him." Nick thought secretly.
Wenger couldn't sit still, not worried about Hoffenheim's tactical changes, he was worried about the referee, because in the first half, in order to make the game more fluid, the referee didn't see it. In the second half, the referee maintained his law enforcement inertia in the first half, ignoring the general movements, which was tantamount to helping Hoffenheim's players.
Under the fierce actions of his opponent, Eduardo, who was once shoveled to the legs. Silva was scared first, the control of the broken leg shrouded him like a black shadow, and Eduardo did not dare to dribble the ball anymore, and took the ball mainly to pass.
Van Persie was furious, because of the foul on him, he thought he could get a yellow card, but the referee even signaled that the game continued to be small and Van Persie's protest received a yellow card, and the angry Van Persie lost his aura and imagination, and when the artist lost his imagination and aura, he was not even as good as an ordinary player.
Eboue couldn't play any role on the flank, he was completely suppressed by the combination of Arshavin and Baker, and in attack, the combination of Eboue and Klich couldn't stop the crazy Arshavin and Beck.
Li Huan was fierce on the wing, but he was mostly brought down by his former team-mate in the area where there was no danger, and won a couple of free kicks that didn't matter much.
In the first ten minutes of the second half, Arsenal was suppressed, unable to create shooting opportunities, and even had no advantage in possession, Wenger began to consider substitutions, Nasri and Rosicky began to warm up, and Wenger wanted to continue to attack.
Hoffenheim Yao used violence and iron-blooded willpower to curb Arsenal's creativity and imagination. With all of Arsenal's midfielders frozen, Hoffenheim's equaliser looked like it was only a matter of time.
However, there are always surprises. This accident is Diabi, Second Master Di.
When Hoffenheiyao was attacking fiercely and Arsenal's backline was in danger, the nervous Di Erye started his assist performance again. The performance was very out of place and drew displeasure from Arsenal fans, but the discontent did not turn into boos. When Diaby is beautiful to dribble the ball from the midfield position. When a beautiful dodge shook off Gustati, who wanted to deliberately foul, the Arsenal fans even gave him applause, but the applause was not extinguished, Diaby wanted to play a scalpel-like straight stopper, but it was directly stuffed at the feet of Hoffenheim's defenders, and the defenders played a long ball attack, which attracted a burst of boos from Hoffenheim fans.
Ordinary people lose their courage in this situation and honestly stay in their back position, but Di Erye no, his will is strong enough, when the opportunity comes again, he immediately rushed to Hoffenheiyao's half with the ball, shook off Vanney's pursuit, dodged Tymoschchuk's interception, Diaby went straight to the penalty area.
At this time, Hoffenheim's players were not too wary of him, because they also saw that the Arsenal midfielder was a bit unreliable, but Diaby was now out of his genius, and he actually used a quick false change of direction to get past Jaisler and into the box.
At this time, the Hoffenheim players panicked and all rushed to DIABY, and goalkeeper Hildebrand also attacked to intercept Diaby's foot.
Diaby had already brought out the inertia with the ball at this time, and actually forgot to shoot, or he wanted to be able to shoot more safely, and when he saw Hildebrand rushing over, he forced Aby to immediately one. Changed direction and wanted to detain Hildebrand again.
Hildebrand was very experienced and when Aby Jr. changed direction, he flew to the ground to intercept Diaby's ball.
But now Diaby is like a god, this smash change of direction just dodged Hildebrand, so that Hildebrand did not pounce on the ball but pounced on people, forcing Aby to be pounced on the turf by Hildebrand's hands. ()
