Chapter 366: Melon-style rehabilitation method(1/3)
"The second half of the game has begun."
"Both sides did not make substitutions during the halftime break, and they still used the lineup of the first half."
"Arsenal took the lead, but Chelsea still took the defensive position."
The situation in the second half is still not much different from the first half.
During the halftime break, Wenger calmed down and warned his disciples to stay patient and not fall into the trap that Chelsea might set.
After all, he is an old martial artist, can't he still see that Pan Yi is using provocation?
Therefore, no matter how anxious he is, he will force himself to calm down.
After all, if the coach is anxious, his players will inevitably be even more impatient.
However, players' behavior on the court is sometimes beyond the control of the coach.
Just like the current situation at Arsenal, the players are surrounded by the constant cheers of the home fans, and their adrenaline keeps surging!
From the beginning to the present, they have actually overpowered Chelsea, who have been enjoying great success this season. Who dared to imagine this before the game?
Both players and fans are a little excited inside.
But now that the situation has an absolute advantage, but the score cannot lead, it is inevitable that people will have the idea of "if you can't win like this, it will be a big loss."
Therefore, after the opening, the offensive players in the frontcourt pressed heavily, eager to suppress Chelsea from the beginning, hoping to score early to ensure today's victory.
The frontcourt is pressed up, and players in the midfield such as Cazorla can only press up in order to avoid the disconnection between the front and backcourt.
The attitude of the defense is the same.
As a result, after a short period of play, Arsenal pressed forward again.
Even though Wenger kept reminding him from the sidelines, it still didn't help.
The attackers in the frontcourt are like wild horses that have escaped the reins and cannot be pulled back!
"I feel like the team's thinking is a bit inconsistent now, and there are differences in ideas."
In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Yin En Wright also expressed his concerns.
The offensive players in the frontcourt want to press forward, hoping to use their personal abilities to change the situation of the game.
But what the midfielder and the head coach mean is that they cannot push Chelsea too hard. They have to pull back first, let Chelsea breathe a sigh of relief, patiently look for opportunities, and then suddenly press forward.
This directly led to a disconnect between the team's front and backcourt thinking.
The frontcourt wants to press forward, but the backcourt tries desperately to hold on; when the backcourt wants to pull back, the frontcourt tries desperately to push forward. How can it not be chaotic?
However, it seems that this cannot be completely blamed on Arsenal's attacking team for not listening to the coach's instructions.
The main reason is that Chelsea has shrunk too much. At this time, Arsenal's forwards will always involuntarily press into the opponent's penalty area.
Otherwise, it is impossible for everyone to retreat to their own restricted area and then look at each other from a distance, right?
The ball cannot be given to the opponent out of thin air.
Therefore, the main reason is that Wenger failed to make timely adjustments according to the situation on the field at this time, such as simply letting the backcourt press but maintaining a certain number of defensive forces;
Or really all the players should retreat, and then fight Chelsea's counterattack, etc.
But now...
Yin En Wright obviously also saw this problem.
"We seem to be completely led by Chelsea now."
"When the opponent is tightly defending, either attack hard, use a fast-paced offensive, plus pressure from the frontcourt to force the opponent to make mistakes, and then take advantage of the players' personal abilities to solve the opponent."
"If a strong attack doesn't work, then you can only withdraw, slow down the pace appropriately, and patiently look for opportunities. Then by changing the rhythm suddenly and slowly, you can forcefully create loopholes in the opponent's defense."
"Now, with the pressure so high, the rhythm is slowed down by the opponent's tight defense, and we can't get up fast. Under the opponent's tight defense, we can't find any gaps at all and can't play a threatening offense.
That's very dangerous."
"In this case, any counterattack by the opponent may create a murderous opportunity. Therefore, every time Chelsea counterattacks, it forces our midfielders and backfielders to try their best to return to defense and run back and forth. This is not only a huge physical challenge.
The consumption is even more mental torture.”
"In addition, we did not do a very good job in pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. They all wanted to score goals as soon as possible! Therefore, more energy was invested in offense and they were a bit slack on defense."<
/p>
Yin En Wright was worried, and Reinker nodded and said:
"I seem to have noticed it. Arsenal's frontcourt stars now seem to be in a situation where they are fighting alone."
"When facing a tight defensive formation like Chelsea, relying too much on individual players' individual fights will only slow down the team's rhythm, which in turn will cause the team to be dragged into a slow-paced quagmire by the opponent."
"The pace is slow, but the team is pressing forward as a whole. This makes it difficult for Arsenal's offense to create a threat. Instead, it exposes the loopholes in its defense to the opponent. This can be said to be chronic suicide..."
"It's just that now we can all see that Arsenal has so many problems, can't Pan Yi see it?"
"He seems to be content to just keep defending like this? He doesn't really just want to take a point, right? Is this still the Pan Yi we know?"
"If this is really the case, I will lose my fandom... Ah, wait, look, Pan Yi seems to have made some moves!"
On the court, Pan Yi really started asking people to warm up.
Lingard, Bamford, Hazard, William...
All offensive players!
It seems that he is really going to cause trouble!
This scene on the Chelsea bench was immediately captured by the fans in the stands and the sensitive live television footage.
The away team's Chelsea fans immediately cheered.
The place where the substitute players warmed up happened to be on the visiting team's side of the stands, and the fans also gave them warm applause.
The faces of Arsenal fans of the home team showed a trace of uneasiness for no reason...
"We see that Chelsea is preparing to make a substitution!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The Chelsea fans in the audience are excited! There is a saying circulating in the Premier League this season that Pan Yi's every on-the-spot command and substitution can change the situation of the game."
"Especially after 70 minutes... Hey, I looked at the time, and it's not even 60 minutes yet. No matter what, Pan Yi's substitutions are always interesting anyway."
"I just don't know how he will prepare for substitutions? Will he just do three ups and three downs and replace the entire offensive trident?"
"If this is really the case, it means that Pan Yi has long understood Chelsea's current defense. The current three generals are used to consume Arsenal's physical and energy."
"And substitution means the beginning of a real counterattack! Especially Hazard, a fast and good dribbling star, has not performed particularly well since returning from injury. He is likely to play as a surprise player today to deal with Arsenal.
A tall defender."
"Today Arsenal's captain Mordessack is tall and strong, but his turning speed is slow, which is enough to give a dexterous forward like Hazard room to play."
"The fans at the scene were all gripped by the upcoming substitution. Chelsea fans were cheering, while Arsenal fans were worried. This looked very interesting."
"Perhaps only Pan Yi's substitutions can influence the fans' emotions like this..."
"Substitution so early today?" Scaloni asked Pan Yi with some confusion, "Didn't you tell Wenger that you will start to work hard in seventy minutes?"
"I said seventy minutes, just seventy minutes? Can't you just show off his old man a little bit?" Pan Yi smiled slyly, "That's almost it. Their physical fitness is almost the same."
Arsenal pressed forward for a long time, which actually put a lot of pressure on their defensive players.
Every time Chelsea counterattacks, no matter whether there is a threat or not, they have to quickly return to defense and run back and forth, which consumes a lot of physical energy.
Lukaku, Gnabry, and Seat B, the three of them frequently went back and forth during the counterattack, which also caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal's defense.
The constant running back and forth, coupled with the long-term tension of the nerves, really makes the Arsenal players' physical fitness a bit overwhelming.
"Then... how to change? Substitute on opposite sides?" Scaloni pointed to the players who had finished warming up and were walking back to the bench.
Under normal circumstances, position substitution is the most common and safest.
After all, although Chelsea seems to be passive now, the three lines are maintained very well, and the counterattack is also impressive. There is no need to make adjustments to the formation.
"Almost." Pan Yi waved his hand, "Let Hazard, Lingard and William go up."
"Oh." Scaloni turned around and took two steps, then looked back and glared, "No center Bamford? This is called a matchup substitution, this is called almost?"
……
After everyone saw Chelsea's substitution clearly, there was an uproar inside and outside the stadium.
Although it is not common to have three substitutions in 60 minutes, it is not unusual either.
In particular, Pan Yi often makes such "generous decisions", and everyone is not surprised.
However, Gnabry and B-seat were replaced by Hazard and Willian. This is considered a match-up substitution between the two wingers, which is understandable;
Why did Lingard replace Lukaku?
Putting Lingard in the center position? This is obviously unrealistic. After all, Lingard has no fulcrum and header ability.
The only explanation is to let Lingard play as a shadow striker in the middle, and then Chelsea starts playing without a striker.
What kind of melon-style surgery is this?
