The atmosphere in the entire Tottenham dressing room was a bit solemn.

South Korean star Son Heung-min was even more nervous.

A week before the start of the game, he was given instructions by head coach Pochettino that he will play the role of the core of the offense in this game.

For Son Xingmin, this is a huge sublimation of his status in the team, and it is also a huge pressure.

In the past, Son Heung-min was used to playing a blue-collar role. His existence was to create shooting opportunities for Harry Kane.

But Tottenham are currently in troubled times.

The scandal between Harry Kane and Manchester City is getting hotter and hotter.

Even in a previous game against Manchester City, all the Manchester City fans chanted ‘See you in June! Harry Kane, see you in June! ’

In the face of this provocation, Harry Kane did not come forward to deny it, but said lightly.

'But I'm focused on the team now and trying to finish the season strong. ’

Obviously these remarks failed to gain the approval of the fans and even caused anger.

They need more definite rebuttals rather than this ambiguity.

But Harry Kane never responded, which made the fans even more angry.

Coupled with the fueling of media reporters, rumors of Harry Kane's transfer to Manchester City are flying all over the place.

Even the head coaches of both sides were affected by this.

However, Guardiola did not make any response, he was happy to see the result.

On the other hand, Tottenham coach Pochettino couldn't sit still. For this reason, he had a conversation with Harry Kane. No one knew the content of this conversation, but after this conversation, Tottenham's offensive direction changed. .

Harry Kane no longer serves as the core offensive arrow, but Son Heung-min, who has performed well this season, will serve as the offensive arrow.

For this reason, Son Heung-min's position was also liberated from the left winger, and he often roamed at the center.

Harry Kane dropped back to serve as the No. 10 organization position. This time, the Korean star's offensive ability was completely explored.

Four games, four goals.

Averaging one goal per game, his strong performance led Tottenham to four consecutive league victories.

Even the somewhat sluggish midfielder was inspired by Son Xingmin and became smoother and smoother.

Son Xingmin's outstanding performance gave Pochettino and Tottenham fans a certain degree of confidence. They want to rely on this point to fight against Arsenal, find a way to win a game from the opponent, and end Arsenal's damn unbeaten record.

"We have to be careful about No. 7 on the opposite side, that is, the Korean!"

In the locker room, Mourinho knocked on the tactical board and said: "Kante needs to retreat a little to intercept Sun's pass. The defender also needs to keep an eye on the Korean at all times. His movement is very good and he can always Showing up in some surprising places.”

In this game, Lucky will be positioned further forward. For this reason, he will not be able to fully perform defensive work, which requires the help of his teammates.

After simply laying out the tactics, Mourinho began to announce the starting lineup.

Still the main force, after all, it is the semi-finals of the English League Cup. Although there are two rounds, Mourinho does not dare to take it lightly.

First, win the next game steadily.

Soon, the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the big screen.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders; Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Aubameyang, Kante, Wilshere, Lucky, Mane.

Forward: Giroud.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Lori.

Defenders: Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Aurier.

Midfielder: Dier, Eriksen, Alli, Lamela.

Forwards: Son Heung-min, Harry Kane.

Pochettino fulfilled his promise and played almost all the main players in this game, which also showed his attitude.

Moreover, he also adopted a relatively conservative position of 4-4-2.

For Pochettino, who advocates beautiful offensive football, this is also a compromise.

They just want to disrupt Arsenal's offensive pace in the midfield and at the same time create opportunities for their own side to counterattack.

For this reason, Pochettino also specifically asked Eriksen to look for Son Xingmin's position more, play tougher in the midfield, and conduct more pressing and interception.

The lineups of both sides were finalized and they walked into the stadium amidst the fierce cheers of the Arsenal fans at the scene.

The collision between the two teams is always accompanied by a smell of gunpowder.

Especially after Lucky was almost attacked at White Hart Lane, Arsenal fans' hatred of Tottenham went even higher.

From the moment Tottenham entered the stadium, the boos, abuses and threats from Arsenal fans have not stopped.

They all had ferocious expressions on their faces, as if they were going to tear Tottenham players alive.

You know, if something happened to Lucky in that game, it might really trigger a riot among Arsenal fans.

For Arsenal, Lucky is their captain and leader.

They would not accept that Lucky was attacked and injured in such a despicable way.

Under the fierce pressure, the Tottenham players looked solemn.

Although they are mortal enemies, the anger of Arsenal fans is obviously more intense.

There were even many security personnel carrying shields standing on the sideline of the field. This was to protect the players from being attacked by debris thrown from the stands.

After all, the game is a game and cannot be disturbed by such things.

The captains of both sides, Lucky and Lori, symbolically exchanged team flags and immediately chose sides.

Lowry won the right to pick the side and he chose the kickoff.

Tottenham earned the right to take the lead in the first half.

Both sides returned to their respective halves and began to prepare for the battle.

"This is the first leg of the 2018/2019 EFL Cup semi-finals, Arsenal's home game against Tottenham!"

“A few weeks ago, Arsenal had just defeated Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane and won the first leg of the north London derby, but before the second leg came, they met in the EFL Cup semi-finals. Tottenham coach Pochettino even said that they will take revenge!”

"We can look forward to Tottenham's performance in this game!"

"At the same time, Arsenal's form is still hot. Can they defeat their opponents and continue their unbeaten record?"

The camera appears in the center circle as commentator Paul Mawson speaks.

Harry Kane stepped on the ball, waiting for the kick-off.

When the referee exits the center circle and blows a sharp whistle, it is announced that the game has officially begun.

After the game started, Harry Kane passed the ball back and immediately ran forward.

Tottenham's overall formation did not move back, but tried to attract Arsenal players to press forward.

When they pressed forward enough, Vertonghen stepped forward directly.

This kick is looking for Harry Kane.

Harry Kane clung to Hummels while observing the position of his teammate Son Heung-min.

After determining the opponent's position, Harry Kane continued to fight against Hummels, and at the moment his forehead touched the ball, he turned his head to the left.

The ball was immediately pushed into the space on the left.

And there, Sun Xingmin had already started, directly passed Bellerin, received the ball, and cut inside.

Near the penalty area line, Sun Xingmin shot directly without any hesitation.

Jimenez tried to block, but failed.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Martinez's concentration was very good. He took small steps to adjust. At the moment when Son Xingmin shot, he made a diving save and dragged the ball out of the goal with his palm.

“Harry Kane plays the ball and Son Heung-min goes forward and cuts inside!

Shoot!

! "

"Shot!

! "

In the expectant eyes of Tottenham fans, the ball was saved by Martinez.

"Martinez!" Paul Merson yelled.

"This is Arsenal's last line of defense. His tall body and wingspan have become a wall for Arsenal to deny the Korean star's shot!"

"But we also need to admit that this shot was very tricky and powerful, but Martinez was too focused! Tottenham failed to score, but after the kick-off, they immediately got a corner kick Opportunity, Tottenham’s offensive intention after the opening was very intense!”

Lucky quickly ran back in the frontcourt to fight for the top.

Tottenham's attack surprised him. Instead of penetrating the ground, he directly passed the ball to the center, relying on Harry Kane's ability to make the ball, allowing Sun Xingmin to shoot.

Simplify tactical advancement capabilities while retaining sufficient offensive strength.

It has to be said that Pochettino's change in tactics is very effective.
