Chapter 312: Halftime Over
In the game between Arsenal and Dortmund, the offensive and defensive transitions were particularly fast.While the neutral fans were enjoying themselves, the fans of both sides were quite worried.

Because I saw my home team pressing down on the opponent in one minute, and when I was attacking, the roles were switched immediately in the next minute.

In the first half, there were actually not many shots from both sides, because both teams defended quite well. It is more difficult to shoot, and it is still difficult to hit the goal frame.

Until the No. 40 minute, Wenger gestured to the players to keep possession of the ball, slow down the pace, and go to the intermission first.

However, it was such a slowdown that almost caused problems.

Wilshere took the ball forward and handed it to Ozil, and cooperated with Walcott on the wing to form a small-scale coordination system.

Just when Ozil handed the ball to Walcott, Sven Bender, who was on the lower back, suddenly stabbed in obliquely at this moment, killing the little tiger by surprise.Taking advantage of Walcott's failure to react, he directly tackled the ball on the ground and shoveled the ball from Walcott's feet.

The little tiger was also taken to the ground, and Wilshere immediately raised his hand to signal a foul.But the referee didn't blow the whistle. After receiving the ball, Shaheen subconsciously waited for two seconds, almost letting Ramsey come over to grab the ball. Before hearing the referee's whistle, Shaheen immediately took the ball and took two steps , handed the ball to Hoffman, and advanced himself.

Walcott, who fell to the ground, did not immediately stand up and return to defense, but frowned and covered his ankle.

Wilshere and Ozil obviously didn't have time to help their teammates at this time, so they immediately turned around and chased back to help defend.

After Hoffman received the ball, he split the sideline immediately. Royce unloaded the ball beautifully, then swung around, and the sideline went directly to the bottom.

Sania was shaken by him, and immediately turned around and continued to follow.The French full-back didn't have the confidence to succeed in one blow, so he didn't dare to make a move, lest he would give Royce a chance instead.

When he came to the side and went to the bottom, Sagna thought that the opponent was going to pass the ball at this time, so he immediately stretched his feet to hook the ball.However, Royce did flick the ball, took advantage of the situation to avoid Sagna's steal, and dribbled the ball inward and cut inward.

Koscielny immediately pulled over to cover the defense, but Royce did not rush, but knocked the ball to Shaheen who followed.

Shaheen glanced at Lewandowski's position, and the Pole immediately headed for the ball in the penalty area.

It is very difficult to defend the first and second, and Koscielny can't leave Shaheen alone, and immediately stretch out his feet to destroy the ball.But Shaheen took advantage of the situation and passed the ball, but it was not passed to Lewandowski in the middle, but to Royce on the side.

The German genius Fei Yi didn't stop the ball, just caught the rolling ground ball and passed the ball directly.

A clever long pass over the top sent the ball over Koscielny's head and into the middle.

Lewandowski seized the opportunity to take off, and Merdesart on the other side followed suit.While in the air, the witty Mordsarter secretly pushed the Polish center forward.Although Lewandowski, who was stuck in the air, grabbed the header, he didn't have the angle to hit the goal directly.

So the Polish center acted accordingly and rubbed his head.The ball bounced off his forehead and flew straight to the left on the other side of the goal.

Mkhitaryan, who was following up, took a stance and didn't have time to stop the ball for him to adjust.He hit the goal directly, because of the time, he didn't have the opportunity to completely straighten and push to shoot.I can only stretch out my feet, wanting to have a thrust shot.

In the end, the ball still hit his instep and flew towards the goal, but the ball was very slow.

Gibbs didn't hesitate in front of the goal post. With a big foot, he treated the ball like his father-killing enemy, and slammed the ball out.

In the end, the ball flew high and flew out of the sideline from a position near the center line.
"Gibbs!! Beautiful clearance!!"

"Just now there was a dispute over Sven Bender's tackle. Li Zihan went to the referee to appeal. He thought the opponent had already committed a foul when he made the tackle. The referee said something to Li Zihan, then shook his head. Shaking his head, it seems that the referee is sticking to his judgment."

"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay, Walcott catches the ball, turns around. Sven Bender suddenly rushes to tackle the ball, oh his feet first tackle the ball, Walcott is brought down Yes, it’s really not enough to be a foul. It’s just that from Walcott’s expression, he seems to be in more pain.”

The crisis was resolved. At this time, seeing that he could not influence the referee's judgment, Li Zihan made a request to the referee to apply for the team doctor to play.

The referee glanced at Walcott who was still sitting on the ground, went up to ask a few words, and then motioned for Arsenal's team doctor to come on the field.

The team doctor came up and insisted on the injury, saying that it was just a minor injury and there was no major problem.Then I sprayed a little ice and gave Walcott a couple of massages and he was fine.

But at this time, Ozil was talking to the previous Sven Bender in German, a little far away, and the fans at the scene were very noisy.So Li Zihan didn't hear his conversation, but it can be seen that Ozil made the tackle before communicating with the opponent.

However, after negotiating with the other party, Ozil came over to Li Zihan with a smile and said, "I told him that such a tackle should not be done. He is in Walcott's blind spot, so it is easy to tackle directly like this." Injury. If he moves a little faster and Gio has not turned around, this one will directly smash his ankle and cause the consequences of a stretcher. If the referee is not the referee of the Premier League If he is a referee, he will be given a red card, and if he is the referee of the Premier League, he can only be given a yellow card."

Jinyuyan has not forgotten to complain about the standard of law enforcement by referees in the Premier League. This is true. Li Zihan and Ozil have only played in the Premier League this season, and they are still a little unaccustomed to the referees of the Premier League.
When Dortmund threw the ball into the field, the game time had reached No. 405 minutes, and the fourth official held up the sign for 1 minute of stoppage time.

Because the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides were quick in the first half, there were no injuries or delays, so there was not much stoppage time.

And obviously Dortmund also thinks that it is unlikely to change anything in 1 minute, instead they control the ball with their feet in the backcourt.Take a short break and wait for the end of the first half.

The chief referee was also humane. Seeing that both sides had no other intentions, the time had not run out, and at No. 405 minutes and 40 seconds, he blew his whistle directly.

At the end of the halftime, although the process was played wonderfully, the score was still zero to zero.

In the locker room, Wenger first confirmed the injury of Walcott who had fallen to the ground before, and only after getting affirmative answers from the players and the team doctor did he start tactical arrangements.

"In general, everyone played well in the first half. However, we did not do well in the counter-attack after losing the ball. We need to follow up in the second half. Especially Li and Mesut, who lost the ball in the frontcourt When it is time to attack, you must actively fight back. Even if you can’t grab it in the end, you must cause harassment to the opponent and prevent the opponent from easily organizing the next wave of attack.”

"In terms of offense, it's good to not shoot blindly. If there is no chance, first of all, don't shoot blindly, in a situation where you don't have much confidence. Just keep the ball, don't lose the ball, and wait for the support of your teammates. If the opponent The penalty area is too densely defended, so you can consider using long shots to open up the situation. In terms of long shots, Aaron, Lucas and Lee can try more, and Gio, Mesut, and Jack pay more attention to the second point of the ball Make up shot."

"Our midfielder's defensive ability is relatively weak, so in this regard, the full-backs should pay attention to their own backs while carrying the assists. Jack and Aaron should also participate in the offense more. Don't pay too much attention to the offense and forget to defend."

On the other side of the visiting team's locker room, in the home team's locker room, Klopp said to his disciples: "Continue to play like this in the second half, play a quick counterattack, and once you get the ball, organize the attack immediately regardless of the opponent's reaction. The frontcourt forms a high press, and Arsenal are not used to this tactic. Every time they face a high press, they are helpless, especially when this tactic is used on Ozil. For such a technical player, it must be pressed closely. Anyway, his The speed is not fast, and he keeps interfering with him, preventing him from passing and receiving the ball comfortably.

"You must pay attention to the defense on the wing. The speed of Podolski and Walcott is not blown out by the media. I believe you have already experienced it in the previous away game and this first half, so this kind of Nouri (Shaheen) and Jonas (Hoffman) in the middle of the situation can go to the side for support in advance, and Marko (Royce) and Henrik (Mkhitaryan) must also actively return to defense."

"As for Li Zihan, you must pay close attention to Sven. His speed is not something you can keep up with, so as soon as he advances, you should immediately form a close relationship to prevent him from speeding up. You can use fouls if necessary. He is relatively far away, so don't worry about him. Li Zihan from a long distance is not a big threat. Even if you accelerate forward from a distance, the time difference between them is enough for you to face it calmly. So don't be too aggressive when it is not necessary. Deviate from the position in between, because Özil is also a difficult opponent. Although his passing is the most threatening, but don’t forget that in addition to assists, he actually has the ability to score goals.”

"So Podolski, Walcott and Li Zihan in the frontcourt must not let down their vigilance. Their speed is a major advantage and threat. At the same time, we must also focus on Ozil's pass organization ability and forward penetration. The ability to directly participate in the offense, in the frontcourt, the focus is on these four players. At the same time, Li Zihan is the top priority, followed by our fellows Podolski and Ozil, and finally Walcott. The tiger is very simple, as long as you don’t let him cut inside and enter the penalty area, in fact, he is almost like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out.”
