Chapter 52 The Fulcrum of Tottenham

Aubameyang grinned; "They closed in and pressed hard!"

As soon as he received the ball, he encountered the opponent's three defenders. The opponent's reaction speed was very fast, and this kind of cooperative pressing cannot be practiced overnight.

"It's hard for me to break through with the ball!"

Aubameyang bluntly stated that in this case, he cannot guarantee that every breakthrough will be effective.

In this regard, Wilshere also nodded and said; "Like before, you run without the ball in the frontcourt, and the midfielder will give you the ball!"

Aubameyang nodded.

Bellerin passed the sideline ball to Lucky. Lucky resisted Dembe's pressing and completed the turn and passed it to Mane.

As soon as he got the ball, he felt the intense frequency of footsteps next to his ears.

This is not the movement of one person.

He didn't dare to push the ball forward and immediately knocked the ball back to Lucai.

Lucky, on the other hand, moved the ball horizontally and got rid of another pressing attack from Dembe.

Lucky slowly moved towards the left, while also observing the distribution of Tottenham's defense.

Suddenly, Lucai started to kick up.

This pass was extremely sudden.

The ball took a short arc and landed behind Tottenham full-back Kyle Walker. Aubameyang also quickly pounced forward.

This ball has a certain amount of spin. After the ball lands, it rolls forward at a slower rate, allowing Aubameyang to better chase the ball.

But Kyle Walker was extremely alert and reached the landing point before the opponent. He knocked the ball to the center back, and the center back also passed it to the midfielder, relieving the defensive crisis.

Arsenal failed to succeed in two consecutive attacking attempts.

"Tottenham's defensive intensity is very high! Lucky's pass was very concealed, but Kyle Walker's reaction was also very quick!"

After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Zhang Lu nodded and said; "The spirit is extremely concentrated. When Lucky holds the ball, Tottenham are alert to the position behind him. After all, Lucky's passing is notoriously deadly!"

"And when it comes to seizing the first spot, Tottenham handled it better!"

Aubameyang raised his hand towards Lucky, indicating that the ball was not followed.

Lucky also clapped his hands to encourage the other party.

But Lucky's heart was a little solemn.

Tottenham are definitely prepared, and it can be seen from this defense that they intend to block their passing lanes.

The ground passes were almost blocked, and the situation behind the ball was cleverly solved by the full-backs.

All this information is telling Lucky that this will be a fierce battle!

Since then, Arsenal continued to want to make a fuss on Aubameyang's wing, while Tottenham also made interspersed moves on the left wing.

But both sides defended very well and didn't give the other side any chance at all.

The game came to five minutes, but neither side had a shot.

The overall atmosphere became more dull.

"Tottenham's defensive intensity is very high, and they seem to focus on offense in this game, but they are more cooperative and large-scale in defense!"

Arteta said solemnly.

Mourinho also pursed his lips and said; "Pochettino is a special coach who is good at learning and creating his own tactics from imitation. This kind of defensive tactics was very good at making use of Arsenal during Wenger's period, and now Pochettino is After Nodeau learned from the past and added his own understanding, Tottenham's defense became more difficult to break through."

Arteta thought for a moment and said: "But Tottenham's offense is not a big threat to us!"

Mourinho said nothing.

He felt Tottenham should prepare something.

On the other side, Pochettino also looked like an old man, as if he was not in a hurry.

what exactly is it?

Mourinho couldn't figure it out for a while.

At this time, Tottenham's offense once again came to Arsenal's rib area.

Tottenham's offense was mighty, but facing Arsenal's iron defense, they couldn't find many solutions.

The overall attack is still carried out on the left wing, with the right wing playing a supporting role.

But at this moment, Eriksen suddenly pulled back and hit the ball hard with the instep of his outside foot.

This is a ground transfer and the speed of the ball is very fast.

At the same time, Sun Xingmin also moved forward at high speed, tilted his ankle slightly to meet the ball, and used the arch of his foot to knock the ball forward.

At this time, Lucky was in the middle position and could not immediately return to defense.

The ball rolled towards Arsenal's penalty area.

And Harry Kane appeared there, and he rubbed it gently with the instep of his outside foot.

The ball flew diagonally from the right side.

Son Xingmin, on the other hand, continued to run forward and crossed Arsenal's entire defense in an instant.

The Arsenal players were stunned.

When they turned around, Son Xingmin was already firing furiously.

The ball flew very low, and after hitting the ground, it flew over the arm of goalkeeper Martinez and into the goal.

In the 11th minute, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in scoring thanks to an unexpected offensive combination!

This goal also silenced the Emirates Stadium for a while.

"Goal!

!

Aubameyang's recent form has also begun to show an upward trend.

Mane is little-known, but he has integrated well into Arsenal's system, playing the role of a wide player, and his powerful shots from time to time can also help Arsenal score goals.

The midfield line is the biggest headache.

Arsenal's midfielder is a combination that even Manchester City dare not confront head-on.

Lucky alone can increase the intensity of the midfield.

It can be said that if Tottenham wants to gain offense, they must get past the interception and steal line of Lucky and Kanter.

But is it easy?

Moreover, Lucai is capable of playing both central midfielder and defensive midfielder positions.

Arsenal can also play differently.

All these require Pochettino to study and figure out.

So far, Pochettino has not been able to find a suitable way to win against Arsenal away from home.

"Eriksson, can you compete with Kai in midfield?"

Pochettino was seriously ill and sought medical treatment indiscriminately.

After hearing the coach's words, Eriksson was silent for a moment and said: "I can try!"

In fact, Erikson was also feeling bitter.

What kind of strong midfielder is Lucky?

The two of them have fought each other once or twice. In which case was he not suppressed?

But when faced with questions from the head coach, does he dare to say no?

Pochettino also waved his hand, he already understood what the other party meant.

There is a high probability that they will give up the rhythm point in the midfield!

On the other hand, Arsenal's formation is much simpler.

Due to the advantage of the midfielder, Mourinho can rely on the influence of the midfielder to radiate to other positions.

Mourinho also asked Lucky if he could get the rhythm of the midfield.

In this regard, Lucky's answer is full of confidence.

This also makes Mourinho more confident in deploying tactics.

Therefore, having a strong midfield line is extremely important for a team.

Both sides are preparing nervously for war.

And the time came to November 6th unknowingly.

In the 11th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played against Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Due to the recent rise of Tottenham, the enthusiasm of fans has become even higher, and the gold content of this derby has also begun to rise.

The first is the confrontation between fans.

A few days before the start of the game, fans from both sides began to erupt into various swearing battles and even fights.

This also caused the London police to be more vigilant and deal with this event carefully.

Around the Emirates Stadium, activity areas for home fans and away fans are clearly planned.

There is a fence moved in the middle to block the area, and heavily armed policemen guard the area.

But even so, fans from both sides verbally abused and confronted each other across the fence.

Tottenham fans were dissatisfied with this game because Arsenal only provided them with less than 2,000 seats.

This left many Tottenham fans waiting outside the venue.

But even so, they surrounded almost half of the Emirates Stadium, shouting and yelling at the Arsenal fans on the other side.

When the buses from both sides arrived, the atmosphere at the scene also reached a climax.

"Forward!! Arsenal!!"

"We are Tottenham! We are invincible!"

"Lukaku!!"

"Harry Kane!!"

"Aubameyang!!"

"Erickson!!"

"Mane!!!"

"(Son Heung-min)!!!"

"Lori!!!!!!——"

"Kai!!!!!!!!! -"

Amid almost competitive cheers from both sides, players from both teams entered the field one after another.

And the hot North London derby is about to begin!
