Arsenal deliberately wanted to slow down the tempo, but Tottenham also realized it later. They could not slow down the tempo.
For this reason, they began to press fiercely.
But Arsenal still passed the ball calmly.
Wilshere passed the ball back to Lucky. The pass was a little too big. Lucky failed to stop with his first touch of the ball. Eriksson saw the opportunity and immediately stepped forward and stretched out his foot to poke it out.
But Lucky stepped on the ball, pulled forward, and passed Eriksson with his body in a strange posture.
After completing the pass, Lucky turned his head left and right. When he saw that no one on the other side was pressing again, he controlled the ball under his feet, pressed down with both hands, and waited for someone to grab it before passing it out again.
When Paul Merson saw this scene, he couldn't help but admired:
"Kai's ball-holding ability is really good!"
"Strangely strong!" Dixon added: "Kai's dribbling is also good, and he is also very good at holding and protecting the ball, but it is not the technical flow of passing and controlling, but using the body and consciousness to predict in advance. , This is difficult! But that’s what he did, and I believe there is no similar player in football.”
Dixon's explanation is very thorough. After all, Lucky relies on his ability to foresee whether he is marking or passing people.
It can be said that he knew it was time to go through with it before the other party made any move.
For this reason, unless the body is completely unable to support it, or there are many people pressing it, it will be difficult to grab the ball from Lucky's feet.
And this also laid the foundation for Arsenal's midfielder to slow down the pace.
"Tottenham's pressing has become more intense, they are very anxious!"
Paul Merson shook his head and said: "I have some doubts that Tottenham are lagging behind. After Arsenal slowed down their rhythm, Tottenham began to gradually lose the ball. It is difficult to counterattack like before, especially when With Son and Harry Kane being heavily defended, it became difficult for them to replicate their previous style of play and send the ball to Arsenal's backcourt."
"It can't be said to be luck! But there is a drawback to Tottenham's tactics, and that is that once Arsenal adapts, the effect will be gone!"
Dixon said.
At this time, Lucky was still sinking the ball in the field.
At the same time, Lucky is also paying attention to the positions of Aubameyang, Mane and Giroud.
These three are Arsenal's main offensive players, so passing the ball to them is the best option.
However, Tottenham also understood this, so they were almost closely guarding and did not give Arsenal the chance to suddenly speed up.
At this time, one person needs to run into the opponent's half to disrupt the situation.
And this person
"pass it to me!"
Wilshere waved for the ball in front, and Lucky passed it decisively.
After Wilshere crossed the ball, he immediately moved forward, and Giroud retreated.
At this moment, Aubameyang also picked the ball and sent it to the center.
"Aubameyang! Beautiful ball! This ball"
When Wilshere advanced, he and Vertonghen were constantly engaging in physical confrontation.
The two even pushed each other with their heads above each other, but Wilshere failed to suppress Vertonghen. In the end, his center of gravity became unstable. Wilshere fell to the ground and raised his hand to signal a foul.
However, the referee did not give any indication, indicating that this was a reasonable collision.
Seeing that no foul was called, Wilshere did not stay on the ground and immediately got up to continue pressing.
At this time, Vertonghen wanted to copy the previous attack and passed the ball directly into Arsenal's half.
Seeing this scene, Kanter and Hummels immediately got close.
Under the pressure of the two men, Harry Kane was under great pressure.
He stopped the ball, but not well.
The ball hit the ground and bounced as high as a person.
At this time, Kanter squeezed in, separated Harry Kane from the ball, and used his body to protect the ball. When the ball hit the ground, he directly knocked it to Robertson.
Robertson took advantage of the situation and once again passed to Lucky who retreated to receive the ball.
Lucky gave a thumbs up to his teammates to indicate a good job, and turned around to get into the rhythm of checks and balances again.
"Tottenham's counterattack didn't work!" Paul Merson shook his head; "After the goal, Arsenal quickly reacted and made certain changes to guard against Harry Kane and Sun Yat-sen's two Tottenham attacks. point."
"In this case, Tottenham's offense is just like this time, it is difficult to connect."
Dixon: "To put it bluntly, the connection point in the midfield is not there. With Sun and Harry Kane trying to pry open Arsenal's defense, there can't be any mistakes, like this time, when the ball was stopped without stopping. , Arsenal can suppress it immediately.”
On the field, Arsenal still passed the ball calmly.
They take advantage of the fast horse attributes of the two wingers and suddenly increase their speed from time to time.
However, if the effect cannot be achieved, it will be sent back immediately.
At the same time, Wilshere also began to break into the opponent's defense, constantly running and dribbling, trying to tear apart the opponent's defense.
In this case, Tottenham is under great pressure.
Off the field, Tottenham coach Pochettino's face was also extremely serious.
He knew very well that Tottenham's critical moment had arrived.
If they can survive this period, they can further expand their advantage entering the second half.
But once you can't survive it, the game will go back to where it started.
And Tottenham lost all their previous advantages and encountered Arsenal's pressure again.
Pochettino was very nervous, clenching his fists and secretly exerting strength in his heart.
‘Hold on! ’
"Be careful they change their rhythm!"
"Aubameyang's side! Don't let him kick! Beautiful!"
"Press back! Press back!"
"Block! Don't let Kai kick up!"
"Come back! Come back!"
Goalkeeper Lloris and center back Vertonghen alternately direct the defense.
They could also sense Arsenal's probing.
They put a lot of pressure on them every time. There were a few times when Lucky looked towards the goal from outside the penalty area, goalkeeper Lori's heart was shaking.
After all, Lucky's long-range shots are famously accurate.
For this reason, even if he was just glanced at, he would feel nervous all over.
Lori turned his head and looked at the time. The full time was 35 minutes.
There are still about 10 minutes left before the end of the first half.
He felt that he had been playing for a long time, but only 35 minutes had passed, which made him feel helpless.
After all, they still have 10 minutes to go.
But now, every second is suffering!
"Sun! Kane! Come back and defend!"
At this time, Lori decisively called his teammates.
He felt the time had come.
In the next ten minutes, Tottenham must defend tightly.
Tottenham called back the only two offensive players, which Arsenal did not expect.
And when the two men retreated to defend, Arsenal's penetration became even more difficult.
"These guys!"
Even Mourinho on the sidelines frowned.
He did not expect that in the last ten minutes, Tottenham would give up the opportunity to counterattack so decisively and directly start to defend.
This tactic is even more Mourinho than him.
No one thought that Pochettino would do this.
But I have to say, this hand is beautifully played.
After scoring a goal and gaining an advantage, ensure the stability of the advantage and wait for the second half to continue to expand the advantage.
Pochettino played a good tactic.
I have to admit that Mourinho failed this time.
"The entire Tottenham team defended and defended the goal. This was to extend the goal advantage into the second half. Pochettino's arrangement of such tactical details was amazing. This was something neither we nor Arsenal expected. matter!"
"And once they return to the second half, Tottenham can regain their physical fitness and the game can return to the beginning of the first half!"
Paul Merson praised Pochettino's attention to detail.
Today the scales have begun to tip towards Tottenham.
With the advantage of this goal, Tottenham may make another effort in the second half. Even if they cannot score, they can hold Arsenal back for about 20 minutes, at least 20 minutes.
In the end, Arsenal may be left with 25 minutes of counterattack time!
During the introduction, Tottenham once again retreated with all its players.
Thinking of this, Paul Merson had to praise Pochettino's tactical arrangements.
From the beginning of the game, Arsenal fell into the pit dug by the opponent, and now they realized it later and finally lost the initiative.

In this game, Arsenal may be facing their first defeat of the season.
This is also the closest game Arsenal has come to failure this season!
Just as everyone expected, Tottenham held on for the last ten minutes with all players retreating.
Finally, the 1:0 advantage was carried into the second half.
Arsenal was relatively depressed, after all, they played extremely passively in the first half.
