Chapter 765
"The defending champion didn't take advantage of it at home. Arsenal turned away and dominated the score and the scene. In terms of passing cooperation, Hoffenheim is still a bit behind Arsenal. The pirated Gunners still have a certain advantage reasonable."

"... Arshavin handed the ball to Baker from the left side of the penalty area. Baker broke through the bottom line and fell to the ground to make a pass, but the ball was already out of the bottom line at the moment of the pass... the ball was occupied. The dominant Arsenal shot again, Eduardo the fox in the penalty area. Silva received a through ball from his partner, and quickly kicked up the edge of the penalty area and shot slightly over the crossbar... "

"In the 38th minute, Eboue made a cross from the right of Hoffenheim to the back post. Li Huan cleverly lobbed a long shot but the ball went to the side net... In the 41st minute, Hoffenheim got a corner kick Opportunity, Arshavin's arc shot from the left side of the penalty area was firmly confiscated by Mannone. One minute later, Li Huan kicked a weird shot from the left side of the penalty area. Hildebrand caught the ball with both hands, but the ball rebounded quickly. Get out of the beam..."

The game was going on in a tense and fierce atmosphere, and there were exclamations and cheers from the stands from time to time. Both sides had chances to shoot, but neither scored. Although Arsenal had the advantage of possession, they won There are also more opportunities than Hoffenheim, but after conceding a goal, Hoffenheim's defense is tighter. Arsenal's ball possession advantage cannot be converted into a victory. Both sides are actively creating offensive opportunities. At the same time strangle the opponent's offensive.

When the game entered the final stoppage time in the first half, the offensive of both sides slowed down. At this time, the risk of attacking increased. If the opponent seized the opportunity to score one, there was not even time to fight back. , the two sides unanimously chose to play again in the second half.

After 2 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The players on both sides finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the locker room with their tired bodies. Even though they were very professional players, Playing in a tense and suffocating rhythm for more than ten minutes also felt fatigue, not only physically, but more mentally.

The locker room is like the model backstage of a fashion show, where players and coaches meet naked.This place is full of abuse and conflicts, and a little carelessness will affect the team's fighting spirit.The stars can take a shower, wipe their sweat, throw away their jerseys, joke, frolic or quarrel here. The personal performance of these stars is completely different from the public performance on the court.Outsiders have no way of knowing what they are talking about. Not only is the smell of sweat, soap, and jerseys and sneakers strewn everywhere, but it also contains a team's tactical secrets and team culture.The head coach lays out tactics here, and the team leaders teach young players here.The locker room is where players come together to form covenants and strengthen cohesion. It can also be the beginning of gangs and divisions.

When leading, Arsenal's dressing room has always been dominated by the players. Professor Wenger basically does not come to the dressing room. , Leave free time to the players themselves.Even if there are any tactics to arrange, most of them are done by the bosses in the locker room.

But Hoffenheim's locker room is different. Rangnick has always been the controller of the locker room. During the halftime break, it is always a critical moment for him to make tactical adjustments. Of course, sometimes he will get angry in the locker room. Confucianism Being handsome doesn't mean he can't get angry, it's just how often he gets angry.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the home team today is very tense. At the moment, no one goes to the bathroom to take a shower, and no one eats or drinks. Everyone is sitting in the seat in front of their closet obediently. The head coach Lannick is changing clothes with a serious expression Walking around the room, his every step creates psychological pressure on the players.

"You are afraid, you are afraid of Li Huan's little Li flying knife, so you are afraid of intense physical contact, you dare not become more aggressive, you play very politely, you don't even get a yellow card... . . ”

Rangnick started off with a bit of irony, he didn't want to give an impassioned speech, it wouldn't have any effect on the result, that kind of giving a rousing speech and then the players were like reincarnated. Change, and then beat the opponent in the second half can only appear in Hollywood movies.

"But is it useful? You are in awe of him like idiots. We made detailed arrangements, but he scored a goal and they took the upper hand in the game. If we continued to play like this in the second half, the result would be It has been settled, so we must change and let them know how strong you are! Even if we lose this game, we must let them suffer enough."

Rangnick's words played a certain role. Many players raised their heads. Apparently Rangnick spoke to their hearts. They were indeed afraid. When Li Huan was in Hoffenheim, the players didn't realize this. They were unscrupulous in offense and defense, and when Li Huan was in the Arsenal camp, Hoffenheim's players finally felt the feelings of the opponent team they played against.Li Huan likes to stay in a quiet corner, but his influence has already dominated the entire stadium. Under the nuclear deterrence of Xiao Li Feidao, ordinary teams dare not foul easily, because it is equivalent to giving the opponent a penalty kick.It's very troublesome to fight like this, and you can't show your ten strengths if you are timid.

Seeing that his words had some effect, Lannick began to make tactical arrangements and deployments, "Today's two wings, one is a strong attack, the other is to hold back Li Huan's legs, so that they dare not 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. If we only play two wings, we will be equal to abolishing our strongest weapon.

For Arsenal's defense, we use boldness, don't be afraid, anyway, we have already lost one, and we are at our own home court. We must strengthen our defense. We can be beaten to death, but it is absolutely unacceptable to be scared to death.Okay, I'm done talking, let's rest. "

After Rangnick finished speaking, he left the locker room decisively. He needed to give the players time to digest his words. It was time for the leaders in the locker room to encourage the players.

The players in the locker room seemed to be untied, and their expressions were obviously relaxed.Then they all looked at each other and looked at each other.

"My God! Did Ralph swear?"

"Yes, he called us fools."

Simunić, who gradually established your position in the locker room, said: "We are really desperate, Professor Lannick is going crazy! You should understand the consequences of losing."

Yaisle said: "The coach is right. We shouldn't be too scared. No, we won't dare to make tactical fouls because we are afraid of Li Huan's little Li flying knife. Anyway, we are going to lose. After losing, our promotion The road has also become extremely difficult, in order to win, in order to qualify, we have to do whatever is beneficial."

Arshavin now also has a certain right to speak. He has been thinking just now and said: "Arsenal's strength is no worse than ours. If we play timidly again, the victory will definitely not belong to us. We should defend boldly. We have two high centers and I think we should still go out wide and hit the lob."

In the locker room of Hoffenheim, under the auspices of the bosses, there was a deep and heated discussion. In the end, everyone had a clear goal and became unprecedentedly united. At the beginning of the second half of the game, Simunić said: " We have to trust each other, both offensively and defensively, football is a holistic game and as long as we are together we can beat any team. Well, come on, let's play."

After the start of the second half, Arsenal obviously found that the opponent's offense and defense became very tough, their smooth cooperation became congested, and their chic demeanor disappeared immediately when they were shoveled and rolled on the turf by the opponent.Seeing such a difficult problem, the Arsenal players also became very nervous.

The fans don't know what happened in Hoffenheim's locker room during the intermission, but they know that some stories must have happened in Hoffenheim's locker room, so in the second half of the game, Hoffenheim As if the whole team had changed, they shoveled the arsenal to their knees. Hoffenheim also played very well in the offense. Baker and Arshavin resolutely carried out a little breakthrough attack, broke through Clichy's defense, and then went down to the ground. The bottom pass created several chances to shoot.He even took the initiative on the scene.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands cheered and shouted: "Huo Cun gets one! Huo Cun gets one!" to cheer for their players.

There was also a trace of relief on Lannick's face. These disciples of his own finally understood and implemented his tactical requirements. If this continues, the possibility of reversing the defeat will be greater. "The only way to fight against Arsenal is to beat him in pain." Lannick thought secretly.

Wenger couldn't sit still, not because he was worried about Hoffenheim's tactical change, but because he was worried about the referee, because in the first half, in order to make the game more smooth, the referee pretended not to see the small movements.In the second half, the referee maintained his law enforcement inertia in the first half and ignored his general actions. This was tantamount to helping Hoffenheim's players.

Under the fierce action of the opponent, Eduardo, who had his calf cut off, was attacked.Silva was scared at first, the control of the broken leg enveloped him like a black shadow, Eduardo dared not take the ball anymore, and mainly passed the ball.

Van Persie was angry, because the opponent fouled him, he thought he could get a yellow card, but the referee even signaled the game to continue, but Van Persie received a yellow card for his protest, and the angry Van Persie lost his aura and imagination , when an artist loses his imagination and aura, he is not even as good as an ordinary player.

Eboue was ineffective on the wing, he was completely overwhelmed by the combination of Arshavin and Baker. On offense, the combination of Eboue and Clichy could not stop the crazy Arshavin and Baker.

Li Huan was very aggressive on the wing, but most of him were brought down by his former teammates in non-dangerous areas and won a few innocuous free kicks.

In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Arsenal were suppressed, unable to create shooting opportunities, and even lost the advantage of possession. Wenger began to consider substitutions. Nasri and Rosicky began to warm up. Wenger wanted to continue Stay on the offensive.

Hoffenheim stifled Arsenal's creativity and imagination with violence and iron-blooded willpower.Arsenal's midfield players were all frozen, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before Hoffenheim equalized the score.

However, there are always surprises.This accident is Diaby, Second Master Di.

When Hoffenheim's offensive was fierce and Arsenal's defense was very dangerous, the nervous and nagging Di Erye started his assist performance again.This performance was very untimely, which attracted dissatisfaction from Arsenal fans, but this dissatisfaction did not turn into boos.When Diaby dribbled the ball in from the midfielder, and dodged away Gustavo, who wanted to foul on purpose, the Arsenal fans even gave him applause, but the applause continued. Bi wanted to play a scalpel-like through ball, but it was directly under the foot of Hoffenheim's defender, and the defender played a long pass to attack, which attracted a burst of boos from Hoffenheim fans.

Most people will lose their courage in this situation, and stay in their midfielder position honestly, but Di Erye is not, his will is strong enough, when the opportunity comes again, he immediately rushed to Hofen with the ball Heim's half-time, throwing away Ruud van Nistelrooy's chase and Tymoshchuk's interception, Diaby went straight to the penalty area.

At this time, the Hoffenheim players were not too wary of him, because they also saw that Arsenal's midfielder was a bit unreliable, but Diaby is now out of his genius, he He even used a quick feint to change direction, passed Jaisle and entered the penalty area.

Now the Hoffenheim players panicked and all ran towards Diaby, and goalkeeper Hildebrand also attacked to intercept Diaby's foot ball.

At this time, Diaby had already dribbled the ball out of inertia, and actually forgot to shoot, or he hoped to shoot more safely. When he saw Hildebrand rushing over, Diaby immediately changed direction and wanted to dunk again. Hildebrand.

Hildebrand is very experienced. When Diaby changed direction, he quickly fell to the ground to intercept the ball at Diaby's feet.

But now Diaby is like a gods help, this spike just avoided Hildebrand, so that Hildebrand did not pounce on the ball, but pounced on someone, Diaby was hit by Hildebrand Lan's hands fell to the turf.
