Chapter 269: Wenger who can endure loneliness
"Lallana!! Get rid of Cazorla, cut in and go straight!!"

"Icardi!! Lean on Modesat, pass the ball to Aubameyang who cut in from the wing, and shoot!!"

"Oh, it's a pity that I played high. The game entered the rhythm of Southampton at the beginning, and the cooperation of the Saints in the midfield was like a dream. We often see such exquisite cooperation in Arsenal, but we didn't expect it to be played in Arsenal. There is actually a team in the Premier League that can play in such a way that Arsenal has no power to parry!"

"Rosicky wanted to get rid of Danny Rose, but was destroyed by the England fullback. Rosicky, who is already 32 years old, can't keep up with his physical fitness at the age of 23. He has no speed against the Saints. There are advantages."

"If Walcott and Gervinho hadn't been injured one after another, perhaps the Czech veteran would not have been able to get the starting position."

Although Rosicky can continue to play for Arsenal, he is no longer the absolute main player who often starts. He gradually plays more of a role in the team's rotation and substitute.In fact, this position is also very important. He needs players to have enough patience. At the same time, they must maintain their physical and competitive state when there is often no game.

The Czech veteran undoubtedly performed this role very well. At the age of 32, he does not need and his body cannot withstand the high-intensity competition of the main position, so he has become Arsenal's gold medal substitute.

Gibbs threw the ball out of bounds, but Wanyama snatched it from Ramsey's feet early.

Kenya's midfielder immediately handed the ball to the "political commissar" Lallana in front of him. Lallana took the ball away from Wilshere, who was interfering, and then dribbled the ball towards Arsenal's half. .

Lallana does not have absolute speed. In Charlotte's tactics, there are high requirements for the speed of wide players. Therefore, last season, Charlotte transformed Lallana into a midfielder. In fact, Lallana Lana himself can also play a cameo in the middle position.

For this reason, he even pulled the center forward Sturridge to the wing, just to play a two-way fly.

But although Lallana in the center is nominally an organizer of the frontcourt, he is not a center commander in the traditional sense.His characteristics are not as sharp as Arsenal's Cazorla and Real Madrid's Ozil. Most of the time, he relies on his own breakthroughs and the short passes of his teammates to find the opponent's loopholes.

So he is more like an attacking midfielder with a certain ball possession ability, because he is very aggressive suddenly.

Mordsart felt that the ball was dangerous, and immediately rushed forward to make a tactical foul, even if he gave the opponent a good positioning kick.Because Cazorla, Wilshere and Ramsey in the midfield are all behind Lallana at this time, there is no barrier in the position of the central midfielder.

But before the German central defender approached, Lallana handed the ball to the Colombian international Rodriguez diagonally forward. After passing the ball, Lallana did not stop, but quickly moved forward.This is his characteristic. He will not be satisfied with just being behind the center forward. Without the ball, he often decisively plugs in to form a second striker.

Rodriguez did not stop the ball, but a standard one-foot touch.The so-called conventional touch is generally a three-foot touch, one foot to stop the ball, two feet to adjust, and three feet to pass the ball!If you can touch the ball with two feet in the game, that is, stop the ball without adjusting and pass the ball directly, it will be very powerful.

But if you touch the ball directly with one foot, this is no longer a question of the player's technical ability. There is also a big factor in this is the quality of the pass of the player who relies on the pass.

This way of passing is often seen in Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona's speed is not fast. Rely more on crosses and back passes to mobilize the opponent's defense and running, and then tear apart the opponent's defense.

And Arsenal's way is more to touch the ball with two feet, and the number of touches with one foot is not much. After all, this has very good requirements.

However, Southampton players often complete a touch of the ball in the game. This does not mean how good their personal skills are. Not as good as Arsenal's players.

It's just that their cooperation is very good. They trust and understand their teammates.They know how they pass the ball, and their teammates don't need to stop the ball to adjust, and they also believe that when they see the space, their teammates will pass it.
Now Rodriguez is like this, with a touch of the ball and the ball back to Lallana, his pass is a little bit in front of Lallana, and Lallana gets the ball with two easy runs. , and did not give Mordsat behind him an opportunity to take advantage of it.He didn't even need to adjust, but just walked straight with the ball. Rodriguez's pass grasped his speed and pace very accurately, making him feel comfortable receiving the ball.

Seeing Lallana dribbling the ball, Icardi didn't care if he was offside at this time, and immediately inserted into the opponent's small penalty area.The Argentine's fast advance directly took Vermaelen away, forming a small space in the middle, and Aubameyang also decisively advanced to support at the far end.

"Arsenal is in danger!! With Icardi in front, Aubameyang at the far end and Rodriguez behind him, Lallana has too many ball options!"

There are many routes for the ball, but Lallana did not pass the football, but directly brought it into the penalty area with a touch of his own.

Lallana, who was unguarded, swung his foot and shot directly two yards in front of the penalty spot, and Szczesny immediately threw it sideways.

The tall Szczesny stretched his limbs in the air to expand his defensive area as much as possible.

But the football passed through his fingertips and hit the upper left corner of the goal.

Szczesny felt helpless in his heart. At this time, he wished that his height was two meters instead of 1.9 meters five.
"Dead corner!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Adam Lallana!! In the No.12 minute of the game, the Southampton vice-captain opened the scoring for the Saints!!"

Charlotte waved her fist excitedly on the sidelines. Although she said that the opponent was worthless in the pre-match press conference, it was just a tactic of war of words, just to anger Wenger, but in fact, anyone who faced Assen Nadu will not be so easy, and it is naturally a cause for celebration to be able to lead the opponent, especially in the away game.

Wenger signaled the team to stabilize on the sidelines. Since conceding the ball is an unchangeable fact, you must not panic, because this is what the little bastard next to you wants to see most.

Looking at the bench, the injuries of Little Tiger and Hot Bird really made his cards a bit stretched, and he didn't have a strong waist.
But fortunately, he still has the big card of French high center forward Giroud on the bench, and he may be able to win at a critical time.

Want to stabilize the situation?Charlotte waved his hand, signaling the team to continue pressing forward.

As a result, everyone saw that in the next few minutes, Southampton took advantage of the victory to pursue and beat Arsenal.The commentators of various TV stations have said that there has been a change in the Premier League this season. Facing many powerful teams, they don’t shrink back and play defensive counterattacks.
When the game came to No. 30 minutes, Charlotte took advantage of the dead ball and pulled Schneiderlin to the sidelines: "Control the rhythm, save your energy if you can't start the fast break, let them press up, and we hit behind."

The French midfielder nodded and returned to the field.

For Charlotte, she has already led by one goal anyway, so it is not bad to slow down the pace.Southampton's tactics have very high physical requirements for players. No one is born with a pervert who can't run to death, so how to control the rhythm and distribute physical energy on the field is a crucial ability.

Regarding the adjustment of the Saints, Wenger naturally saw it. According to Southampton, he deliberately slowed down the rhythm, which was in stark contrast to the previous desperate fast break.

Only one goal behind, Wenger said that he would not be fooled, this must be a conspiracy of that little bastard, and he would definitely beat him back when he was overwhelmed.

High-intensity offensive and defensive transitions are definitely not enough for the opponent, so it's better to be on the safe side.

Arsene Wenger's patience has to be admired by Charlotte. The first half is coming to an end soon, and he still let the team continue to play like this. Don't you think about counterattack?

In the end, in such a tacit "consumption" between Southampton and Arsenal, the time ran out bit by bit, and the first half ended and the intermission was entered.

Charlotte was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, so she didn't plan to adjust.As for Wenger, the door of the locker room of the home team opposite Wenger was closed. Charlotte didn't know what happened inside, and the sound insulation of the locker room of the home team was so good, it was even more impossible to hear the conversation inside.

However, from Wenger's stern face before entering, one should be able to guess that the professor's mood is not very beautiful.

"The second half of the game has officially started. Neither side has made substitutions. I don't know if Wenger has any specific arrangements in the locker room. Obviously, the fans will not be satisfied with playing like this at home."

Originally, Charlotte thought that Wenger would still adopt this obvious "killing" style of play in the second half. After all, it was really not a wise choice to press it out. At the same time, Arsenal did play relatively well in the second half of the first half. possession of the ball.

But as soon as the game started, Arsenal...or Wenger gave Charlotte a surprise.
