Chapter 12 Giroud! Belated debut!

"The first half is over. In 45 minutes, Arsenal showed a variety of offensive methods. Although Mourinho is also a coach who focuses on defense, under his guidance, Arsenal's offense also showed. Take an extremely powerful stance!"

"In the first game of the new season, Arsenal have already shown enough surprises. They almost showed a crushing performance against Leicester City!"

"On the defensive end, because Leicester City can't form a sufficient offensive, we can't make a judgment for the time being!"

Paul Mosen's evaluation is more about the offensive direction, but he can't express too much about the defensive end.

In this regard, Dixon said; "I think this is the most perfect defensive posture. We can't see Arsenal's defense. counterattack!"

"In the first half, Leicester City had a few good chances to counterattack, but most of them were destroyed by the midfield. Kai and Kante used their powerful midfield sweeping ability to eliminate threats!"

"And in the process of the long pass, Arsenal's two central defenders Jimenez and Hummels also used excellent anticipation to defend their positions. Every time Vardy touched the ball, there was a strong sense of crisis. , This has also caused the attack of Lai Si Tiecheng to be unable to work!"

"We can't see Arsenal's defense. It doesn't mean he has no defense. It's just that they did it so well that it gave us a sense of visual confusion!"

Speaking of this, Dixon said with emotion; "This Arsenal team has become scary enough. Whether it is offense or defense, they have no obvious weaknesses! Leicester City also does not have the ability to create problems for Arsenal. We still look forward to what adjustments Leicester City coach Shakespeare can make in the second half!"

The previous Leicester said that the coach Ranieri was fired, the Italian known as the "tinker" left with the blame, and Shakespeare served as the new head coach of Leicester City and took charge of the coach.

But obviously, Leicester City no longer has the ability to create a miracle season.

And the major giants have also completed the turbulent reorganization, and the overall strength is also skyrocketing.

In this case, the so-called civilian miracle is already impossible.

Before the season, Shakespeare still vowed that he would reproduce the glorious era.

But the first game made him a little flustered.

The strength of Arsenal made him helpless.

This is not the kind of tactical gap, but the crushing of hard power.

Every position in Arsenal gave them a sense of being irresistible.

Coupled with the pressure of the midfielder, even if they showed a defensive posture, it still didn't have much effect.

But as a coach, he cannot show such negativity.

Brainwashing and encouraging the players over and over again, but with little effect.

On the other hand, Arsenal's side, Mourinho is more appreciation.

Even Mourinho needs to admit that Arsenal's performance in this half was perfect.

There are no mistakes or omissions in defense, the offense is extremely sharp, plus two goals, it is a perfect start.

For this reason, the atmosphere in the entire locker room has also become more relaxed.

"In the second half, I hope to test our defensive ability more. We don't need to be too obsessed with possession of the ball. The goal is to counterattack while stabilizing the defense!"

Mourinho said.

In this regard, the Arsenal players nodded.

The offense has been tested in the first half, and the second half is defense.

They are also full of confidence in this.

And with the performance of this game, some substitutes can also get the chance to play.

Giroud has already run out to warm up under Mourinho's signal.

There is a high probability that Giroud will come off the bench in the second half.

Mourinho is still eager to test Giroud's retracement tactics, after all, this is the key to Arsenal's rich tactical pool.

After completing the tactical arrangement, take a short break and the second half of the game will begin.

Players from both sides return to the field and switch sides.

Arsenal is still in a high-spirited posture, and Leicester City have not completely given up, they still want to tie the score.

To this end, they changed their formation from the original 4-4-1-1 to 4-3-3.

The forward line is composed of Inchinacho, Vardy and Gray.

Two fast horses on the wing and Vardy in the center form a more impactful offensive formation.

Arsenal still haven't made any changes.

The game restarts.

Leicester City took the lead in attacking.

After changing formation, they advanced a little more on the wing.

It is even more frequently planning to use Gray, a fast horse, to tear apart Arsenal's defense.

However, under Robertson's stable performance and Hummels' command, it was difficult for Gray to hold the ball. Even if he got the ball, he could not complete the breakthrough.

Attack after attack could not form a scale, but was hit by two thrilling counterattacks by Arsenal.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr.'s brave performance and saving two goals in a row, they would have fallen behind by a large score.

If the right path doesn't work, they plan to play the left path.

However, Kanter also settled early, and his defense has become more aggressive than last season.

Steals also make more use of tackles, which not only puts pressure on the opponent's winger, but also warns the opponent.

‘Don’t try to break through from the left! '

Both sides are unworkable, and Leicester City is a little dumbfounded.

Vardy stood in the middle with a helpless expression on his face.

He misses his former teammate Mahrez a little bit.

At least when Mahrez was there, he didn't play so depressed.

"Although Leicester City has strengthened their offensive stance, they are unable to play an effective attack. Both sides are tightly blocked, and the central defender is watching. Even if they barely pass to the middle, it will be destroyed soon."

"Arsenal's goalkeeper Martinez was the most boring throughout the game. He made two saves, one of which was a misjudgment. The opponent's long-range shot missed the goal frame!"

"Arsenal's defense! So consistent!"

Off the field, Mourinho sat quietly in the coach's bench.

He rarely puts on such a comfortable look. Most of the time, Mourinho is irritable and roars on the sidelines.

But in the face of such an Arsenal, he really can't fault it.

Mourinho is an ultimate defensive expert!

His team is also good at defense, but the more so, the more attention is paid to the details of defense.

Any lack of details will make him furious.

But at this moment, he sat quietly in the chair.

It's just because Arsenal's defense is so good.

"Kay and Hummels are two defensive command points! The players have increased a lot of defensive communication, and the cooperation and command between each other are very good!"

Mourinho smiled.

Although the defensive command points are Lucky and Hummels.

But it doesn't mean that the two are absolute!

When a teammate faces an offensive player, the teammate also issues a defensive cooperation command. In this case, the two also need to cooperate with the teammate.

For example, when Wilshere is the first to respond to the opponent's offensive player, he will issue an order for Lucky to retreat.

At this time, Lucky will also retreat decisively and cut off the opponent's forward pass channel so that Wilshere can better limit it.

This is defensive cooperation!

And Arsenal's defensive coordination appears in all aspects, in various positions, in various areas.

This is also the key to Leicester City's inability to play an effective offense.

"about there!"

Mourinho exhaled slowly, turned his head and said, "Giroux! Get ready to play!"

Hearing this, Jilu stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of light.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Arsenal made substitution adjustments.

A matchup substitution.

Lukaku off, Giroud on.

Lukaku scored a goal in this game, so he didn't have much complaints, and he ended up messy.

"Arsenal made substitution adjustments, center Oliver Giroud from France got the chance to join Arsenal for the first time!"

"The French center's scoring ability in the frontcourt is beyond doubt. He was also the team's top scorer in Dortmund, and he also scored a lot of goals against Bayern Munich."

"And his role is not limited to this, the fulcrum of the frontcourt is his characteristic!"

"We can look forward to what kind of offensive changes Giroud can bring to Arsenal!"

Giroud boarded, and Wilshere was the first to meet him.

The two clapped silently.

After Giroud joined Arsenal, Wilshere cooperated with him the most.

The two also got to know each other better, and the relationship was also slightly closer.
