Chapter 64: Arsenal's Chance

When the game started, the players of the Liverpool reserve team shrank their defense according to the original tactics. They waited for Arsenal to press up, attack impetuously, and then they intercepted the ball and counterattacked.

But from the first minute, they noticed something was wrong.

Because this time Arsenal was not as eager to attack as in the previous game, even if they were pressed, they were not in a hurry to shoot.

They kicked backwards at the beginning, and after slowly pouring the football up, they were not in a hurry to shoot in the face of Liverpool's shrinking defense, they just poured their feet patiently.

This kind of passing is meaningless back and forth in the eyes of laymen who are just watching the excitement. But in the eyes of experts who really understand the ball, every pass has a purpose.

In these passes, Arsenal's players constantly change positions, shuttling back and forth, and then try to touch the Liverpool defense point by point.

If Liverpool's defensive reaction is strong, they will retreat, and if they have the opportunity to take advantage of 03, they will take advantage of the situation and rush in.

In short, try to control football at your feet as much as possible.

Let Liverpool can only run back and forth with Arsenal's pass.

While consuming their physical strength, it also exposed their defensive flaws during frequent running. As long as there is a flaw, it is a chance for Arsenal to score.

This is Wenger's tactic.

Use Arsenal's best ball control and foot skills, as well as small-scale exquisite coordination to consume Liverpool.

It stands to reason that if such a tactic is used in normal times, there is actually little hope.

Otherwise, Arsenal would have won Liverpool a long time ago, and they would not have to defend with all their strength and could only hold a draw at home.

But today is different. First of all, they are facing the Liverpool reserve team, whose strength is not the same as that of the first team.

Secondly, this team just defeated Arsenal two days ago, the morale is too strong, and pride and underestimation of the enemy are inevitable.

In this way, some loopholes will appear in their originally tight defense line, and these loopholes will not appear in normal times.

This gives Arsenal a chance to come back!

The players of the Liverpool reserve team were a little dumbfounded.

According to the tactical strategy before the game, they were asked to stick to the defense and let Arsenal attack.

This tactic is correct, but they thought that Arsenal would be as eager to score as in the previous game, and shot a few shots as soon as they came up, wasting the offense and giving them a chance to counterattack.

But no, this time Arsenal looked particularly robust.

They moved forward slowly.

If there is no good opportunity, they would rather fall on the outside than take the risk of passing the ball forward.

Unless there is a particularly good chance.

In this way, they pass back and forth, pass the football from right to left, left to right, sometimes all the way back, reorganize the attack, and then slowly pass to the front.

The Liverpool fans in the stands began to boo. They were booing Arsenal for being a coward and not daring to attack.

Arsenal players seem to have cotton in their ears, and the boos of Liverpool fans can't bother them at all.

They still play according to their own rhythm and style.

This is what the players of the Liverpool reserve team did not expect.

Don't talk about them, the head coach Martin who is in charge of arranging tactics.

O'Neill didn't expect Arsenal to adjust so quickly after losing to them just now, and thought of using this method to deal with Liverpool.

They don't seem to care about statistics such as the number of shots. Even if the game is tied, they don't seem to be afraid, because they can still go back to their home court, which always has some advantages.

Ancelotti frowned.

Liverpool's tactic is to defend and counterattack. If Arsenal play like this, where will the counterattack come from?

Do you want to press up and attack?

With Ancelotti's personality, he dare not take risks.

Ancelotti dared not take any chances.

But the reserve players on the field dared.

When they found that there was no danger, their minds became active.

They have a lot of ideas in their minds.

The most tempting thing is to beat Arsenal cleanly at 053 at home.

They thought of Arsenal's poor performance in the last game.

If that's what Arsenal's first-team quality is, then that's about it...

Why do we have to shrink in our own restricted area and stick to it?

They don't have the ability to attack at all!

This is simply a waste of time.

To find out what they think, go straight out at this time, rush at the unsuspecting Arsenal players with lightning speed, and then score them a goal.

Dragging the game into a familiar trajectory for Liverpool.

The idea lingered in the minds of Liverpool players like a devil's lure...

Everyone was attracted by this idea. When they thought of the various benefits that this goal could bring to the team, everyone couldn't hold back any longer, and even their breathing became much heavier.

Young people are always impulsive, and they will do it when they think of it.

So they unknowingly advanced their defense line, and the defensive formation was a little loose as a result...

And this is actually the opportunity Arsenal have been waiting for!.
