Strong Waist

After completing basic training, the Arsenal players gathered in the tactical room.

Everyone sat in rows, with Mourinho standing at the front.

On the slide screen, the words '38 rounds of tactics' were written clearly.

Although Arsenal has reached the Champions League final, for Arsenal, the top priority is the league championship game before them.

The Champions League final will not be played until a week after the league ends.

During this period, Arsenal must also refocus their energy on the league.

Manchester City was eliminated from the Champions League. Without the pressure of the Champions League, their performance in the league has become even better.

Arsenal still needs to play in the Champions League final, and the pressures on both sides are completely different.

Fortunately, the Super League helped Arsenal change the schedule, allowing them to have a certain buffer time, otherwise they would really have to make difficult choices between the Champions League and the league.

Of course, even with the schedule adjustments, Arsenal's situation is not much better.

The only good thing is that Mane's Champions League ban has been terminated and he can also exert his efforts in the league.

Mourinho also said in his opening remarks:

"You must be calm during the game. Some uncool actions may affect the whole team and the key to victory or defeat!"

Mourinho was obviously talking about Mane, who also blushed.

The Arsenal players also gave out a hint of good-natured laughter to dilute the awkward atmosphere.

Mourinho also stopped talking and began to analyze Manchester City's lineup.

I have to say that by the end of the season, Manchester City's performance was really strong.

Argentine center Aguero is in excellent form, scoring two goals in the last three games.

Sane's performance was equally excellent and he became a great threat to Manchester City on the wing.

In another twist, Mahrez finally found his form a year after joining Manchester City, and his performance after integrating into the team was extremely exciting.

The midfield is convenient, and the Manchester City midfielder headed by De Bruyne is also a very impactful combination.

Although David Silva is a bit old, he must not be underestimated.

Gundogan's performance has also become much calmer.

There is no need to say more about De Bruyne.

This guy's assists have surpassed Lucky's four goals and currently tops the Premier League.

The defense combination is also extremely stable.

In this case, it is really not easy to defeat Manchester City.

In fact, there is no way.

Liverpool have already given a clear answer before.

That is to use crazy sprints to apply pressure, and cooperate with the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt to disrupt Manchester City's passing rhythm.

But Arsenal really can't do this kind of job.

Will the Champions League still be played?

If there was no Champions League final, they might actually do this.

The worst that can happen is that he will use up all his strength before the end of the season.

But the problem is, Liverpool is waiting there in the Champions League final, which makes Arsenal feel like they are being led by the nose. There are too many restrictions.

In this case, Mourinho's method is also very simple.

Defensive counterattack!

Maintaining the status quo!

This is the tactic Arsenal is best at currently.

On the basis of defense, use counterattack points to tear apart the opponent's defense line and kill with one blow.

In this tactic, Lucky needs to play a key role in delivering the ball.

It can be said that Lucky's performance is directly linked to the result of the game.

The pressure is great, but Mourinho trusts Lucky, or in other words, he believes that Lucky can perform to his satisfaction. After all, Lucky has never let him down.

But the foundation of all this must be built on defense.

Once the defense is unstable, everything is in vain.

Therefore, we must resist Manchester City's offense and then limit it.

Mourinho talked a lot eloquently, and Mourinho spoke very seriously and carefully, and the players also listened attentively.

In the last few minutes, Mourinho also announced the upcoming 37 rounds of competition.

The tactics are this set of tactics.

It is considered to be a test of the defensive stability on Burnley.

Burnley are doing very well this season.

With only two goals remaining in the league, they currently sit in 9th place in the league standings.

The European theater is out of business, but it won't be downgraded.

For Burnley, it is enough to avoid relegation.

They didn't think much about other issues either.

Now, they have completed relegation ahead of schedule, so the overall state is extremely relaxed. Except for a few players participating in the World Cup who are in the excitement period, everyone else has already entered vacation mode.

They don't care too much about the strong opponents they are about to face. Even the head coach wants to try a new lineup to prepare for next season.

Facing this atmosphere, Arsenal came to Burnley, Lancashire.

There was a fiery atmosphere at Turf Moor Stadium.

The Burnley fans at the scene were all excited.

Throughout the first half, they were playing against Arsenal.

Yes!

Visually, the fans felt it so, they seemed extremely excited about it.

After entering the second half, the situation was still the same.

Burnley played very proactively, and although neither side scored a goal, it felt really good to be able to suppress Arsenal.

The fans were shouting loudly, but they didn't know that the Burnley players in the field were really having a hard time.

"Hey! Run forward!"

"There's no room for the ball!"

"Pass back! Pass back!"

"I'm behind!"

Burnley players communicated loudly and started passing the ball back.

As the game progresses, Burnley players look extremely tired.

They were clearly the ones attacking, but they felt they were playing awkwardly. Arsenal's defense left them helpless, and the few counterattacks Arsenal had from time to time frightened them.

"Burnley is passing back, again, although Burnley has possession of the ball, it is Arsenal who controls the situation!"

Andy Gray said with a grin.

He was stunned by Arsenal's defensive ability in this game and its ability to control the situation in a defensive posture.

Very few teams are able to take control on defense.

But Arsenal did just that.

This requires not only stable defensive capabilities, but also strong teamwork capabilities.

Obviously, Arsenal has both of these things.

For this reason, it seemed that Burnley had the advantage, but in fact Arsenal gave up the ball and focused on defensive counterattacks.

Every counterattack by Arsenal is so sharp.

Maybe he can break through Burnley's goal next time, no one can say for sure.

Off the field, Mourinho was also busy sitting on the bench. He was quite satisfied with the Gunners' performance.

Although there is a reason why Burnley is not strong, Arsenal also has a stable performance in defense.

After experiencing the Champions League semi-finals with Real Madrid, Arsenal's overall state has dropped by another level.

But their psychology seems to have been sublimated. Everyone's performance is extremely calm, and the overall feeling is as stable as a mountain.

Mourinho understands that this is a performance that the team has completely completed the run-in after experiencing a big battle.

If Arsenal gathers all its main players at this time and maintains this state, Mourinho would dare to challenge Real Madrid and win at the Bernabeu.

However, Arsenal's software is currently running in, but the hardware is flawed, and injuries cannot be treated in a short time.

Just when Mourinho was thinking about this, the situation in the stadium suddenly changed.

Kante intercepted a Burnley pass and slid a pass to Lucky.

When Lucky faced the rolling ball, he didn't hesitate at all and directly started to pass the ball.

The ball landed accurately in the space behind Burnley, and Mane sprinted to pursue it.

During the period when he was banned from the Champions League, Mane also worked hard.

At this time, he burst out in anger and rushed extremely violently.

Unload the ball, make an emergency stop, and start quickly.

Mane opened his position with just a simple movement and quickly squeezed inward.

Just as the opponent's full-back was about to make a move, Mane struck with the instep of his outside foot.

Giroud is already at the fulcrum.

Giroud glanced at Mane first, and then made a move to knock back, but he did not touch the ball.

The ball continued to roll backwards from Giroud's feet.

And there, Aubameyang quickly moved forward and pushed the ball towards the ball.

The ball rolled into the goal along the left post.

In the 77th minute, Arsenal relied on counterattack to get the leading goal.

This goal was extremely unexpected, which also caused the already noisy Burnley home court to suddenly become quiet.
