This will make Tottenham players feel very at ease. With a two-goal lead and Arsenal still playing like this, can they be uneasy?
Arsenal now have almost no power to fight back, which is different from the last confrontation.
Although Arsenal's defense was riddled with holes last time, their offensive power was not weakened and they could compete with Tottenham, but now they can't.
Arsenal fans were calm just a few minutes ago, but now they are on their feet.
"Fake."
"Do you feel like... it's over?"
"Tottenham were too strong today, we..."
If your confidence is shaken, it's easy to find excuses.
"Yes, I also feel like something is going to happen."
"But what's the point of the League Cup? What we want is the league title."
"Just concentrate on playing well in the league, right?"
The league championship is what they really want. The last time they won the league championship was the undefeated season of 0304.
As for the League Cup and the FA Cup? Actually, they don’t care much about it.
"If we concede another goal, I think we might as well replace the captain."
I wonder if Emery has heard the voices of the fans?
He thought so himself.
On the sidelines of the court, he frowned and thought.
Although he didn't mean to surrender immediately, he began to think about a way out.
What if we lose the ball again?
Then you really need to think carefully about whether to make adjustments.
Arsenal can't always win, there will always be times when they lose, and it's very much like this...
So what does Luo Wu think?
He silently returned to the center circle, licked his dry lips, stared at the opposite Tottenham goal, and then turned to look at his teammates.
"Fake!"
He suddenly cursed.
"I swear."
"The other side must want to massacre us today and send us to hell."
"This is not the end."
"Shall we lie down flat?"
What is this word?
It’s such a shock to everyone!
"team leader!"
"We will not surrender directly!"
"Trust us!"
shouted the young and energetic Gunduzi.
"I will never let them pass me!"
"Captain, we haven't lost yet!" Elneny's eyes were blood red, and his face was also full of anger.
"Farke!" Holding from behind also cursed.
"Guys,"
"We cannot let the tragedy continue!"
"We should be fearless!"
"That's right." Luo Wu clenched his right fist and shouted again.
"This is the fucking Emirates Stadium!"
"Listen to all those nasty noises in the stands!"
"We have to shut them up!"
"We want to defend our home ground! We are Arsenal!"
"Get up and fuck them all!"
"No matter what the situation, we will fight until the last second!"
…
Luo Wu rekindled the morale of the team.
but,
Tottenham also have something to say.
Isn’t morale at its highest point?
Son Heung-min and the others are not in trouble yet.
In fact, they didn't drift in the last game. They played very well, but their shooting skills were not good, and that's why they were overturned by Arsenal.
This time, they were calmer than the last time.
You can't trip over the same stone twice in the same place, right?
When Son Heung-min was celebrating with everyone just now, he had already vaccinated his teammates and reminded everyone that this is not a victory, and even two goals are not safe.
Arsenal must be completely defeated, that is the real victory.
They don't have the capital to float.
In the past half of the season, any team that has failed will eventually become Arsenal's victim.
So after the game resumed, Arsenal still couldn't easily advance into the frontcourt and was still counter-suppressed!
Naini lost the ball in the midfield, and Tottenham made a quick counterattack on the left. Son Heung-min passed the ball into Arsenal's penalty area, but Kane failed to reach it, and Alli also missed the ball in the back.
Arsenal's boundary kick.
Jenkinson threw the ball forward to Iwobi.
Sissoko came at him fiercely and knocked him down from behind.
Arsenal finally got a set piece.
Luo Wu came back in time to respond and finally got the ball.
But it was soon discovered that Eriksen, Terry and Sissoko were surrounding him. This was probably learned from Manchester United before. The effect of the three-man double team was quite good, but it could not trap Luo Wu.
Luo Wu easily passed the ball to Iwobi.
Iwobi's space has become larger, but he dribbles the ball from the left and rushes forward. Once he loses his teammates to support him, it is impossible for him to challenge Tottenham's defense alone?
When he looked back to observe Guendouzi's position, Tottenham right back Ross saw the right opportunity and made a direct frontal tackle to remove the ball from Iwobi's feet.
It was too simple, no foul.
The black and hard Rose immediately got up and kicked the ball to Sissoko, who passed it diagonally to Eriksen.
With his back to Guendouzi and Elneny, Eriksen easily got rid of both of them with a cool Marseille spin!
Kane took away the defender in front of him, and he kicked it without hesitation!
With a whoosh, the curve ball immediately spun towards the upper left corner of the goal.
Slide out the door.
It's a little bit worse, but the quality of Eriksen's shot is already quite good.
When Cech picked up the ball and returned it, Tottenham players were already in position.
Not slacking off at all.
Luo Wu tried to return to the midfield to request, but there were two difficult guys in front of him, trying to pass to his feet?
Disaster.
He pulled away to the side, but was still being watched closely.
At this time, you can only rely on your teammates to push forward.
This task has to be handed over to Nini or Iwobi, but Elneny did not pass the ball well, and the overhead ball was too weak. Sissoko easily headed the ball to Son Heung-min before Nini.
Son Heung-min didn't stop the ball and directly hit it to Eriksen. Eriksen also calmly pushed forward with the arch of his right foot and immediately sent a through ball!
Son Heung-min leisurely rushed to the left side of Arsenal's penalty area and got the ball, but Papastathopoulos and Monreal blocked it at the same time. He chose a safer approach and passed the ball in an inverted triangle.
Kane met the ball and shot straight away!
Holding's first reaction was that he could only block it with his body, but unexpectedly Kane's left foot did not shoot at all. Instead, he knocked the heel covertly, setting up a cannon for Eriksen.
Eriksen fired with his left foot again!
boom!
Go straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
Cech hit the ball out with both fists and the ball flew towards Jenkinson.
Ali arrived quickly and did not give Jenkinson any time to adjust, so he had to make a big save.
With this clearance, the ball was lost again.
The ball possession that was finally regained was gone again.
Both of Eriksen's shots were threatening, but they just didn't go in.
However, he quickly ran back and continued to participate in the offensive end.
This time he got the ball again and passed it to Ali who was moving forward.
Ali changed his previous habit of dribbling the ball and immediately pumped the ball into Arsenal's penalty area. Son Heung-min didn't have any physical advantage in the crowd, but he was kicked out of the baseline by Monreal.
Tottenham get a chance to attack from a corner kick.
However, Arsenal, with five defenders, controlled the high points very well, and Tottenham did not take any advantage.
"Arsenal's defensive level has improved, but defense alone is not enough. They need to score goals. If they are two goals behind, they must score at least two goals to hope to stay in the League Cup."
"You have to find a way to get the ball to Ronaldo."
Ferdinand said, "But it seemed like we couldn't even get past half-time."
That's right, the ball was lost again.
Luo Wudu came back to participate in the defense. I can't stand it.
He followed Sissoko and tried to sneak up on Sissoko from the side, but Sissoko passed the ball to Eriksen first.
But there is Guendouzi.
Guendouzi was not impatient when facing Eriksen. Eriksen failed to deceive Guendouzi with two consecutive spikes and swings. Instead, Guendouzi got stuck and passed the ball back to Hall.
Man.
Holding saw Luo Wu and sent him forward with a straight kick.
The intention was too obvious, Winks broke it off!
Luo Wu didn't think too much. He chased Winks to the left and directly stepped out with his left foot. Winks instantly fell over.
beep,
The referee's whistle sounded,
He ran over and gave Luo Wu a verbal warning.
Luo Wu ignored him and knocked the ball back with his heel, and the ball rolled towards the Arsenal backcourt.
The thief is very good.
Not only did he use tactical fouls to disrupt Tottenham's offense, knocking the ball behind him, he also delayed the opponent's time...
Kill two birds with one stone.
However, Tottenham still got a free kick opportunity in an excellent position.
Unexpectedly, it was Kane who stood in front of the ball. Logically speaking, it should have belonged to Eriksen, but just now Eriksen probably felt that he had no luck today, so he gave it to Kane.
He did the same thing in the last confrontation.
But Kane failed to suppress the ball. He missed the ball. He might as well have let Eriksen kick it, and it hit the door frame anyway.
None of this affected the mood of the Tottenham players. They quickly organized their defense and continued to press Arsenal full-court.
It was all forced. They used to like to play defensive counterattacks, but this strategy didn't work at all against Arsenal, so they had to do the opposite.
Arsenal is really passive.
This pain lasted for more than 20 minutes. It was not until the 26th minute that Arsenal got a chance to counterattack on the right. Guendouzi sent a long diagonal pass in the middle. Naini actively intervened, but after Naini got the ball
Instead of continuing to rush forward, he wanted to pass the ball to Luo Wu.
Didn't he think that if he wanted to pass the ball to Luo Wu, he would have to pass through three people?
The ball was broken.
Tottenham once again made a beautiful counterattack. Winks passed the ball diagonally to find the fast Son Heung-min. After unloading the ball, Son Heung-min forced a break through Niles!
He succeeded again, and he never failed in his confrontation with Niles!
But Papastathopoulos came over in time to cover up the defense and blocked Sun Xingmin's route into the penalty area.
Son Heung-min made an inverted triangle pass back and accurately delivered the ball to Eriksen.
Eriksen kicked off for the third time!
With no one to interfere, he once again played at a high quality level.
It’s still his favorite goal in the upper left corner!
Standing on the goal line, Cech decisively flew up, stretched out his left hand with all his strength, and touched the ball with his fingertips.
Just such a small change still changed the flight direction of the ball.
Duang!
The ball hit the lower edge of the door lintel, quickly bounced to the ground, and then jumped out.
The speed was so fast that no one could see whether it was scored, but the Tottenham players were still very experienced and immediately raised their hands to indicate that the ball had entered the goal.
But the linesman didn't raise his flag, so the referee couldn't blow the whistle randomly.
However, Kane rushed to the referee immediately and complained to him.
Clattenburg ignored him.
Niles, who had the ball on the right, pushed the ball straight up himself!
Luo Wu gets the ball!
"Oh haha!"
"What are Tottenham players doing?!"
"Ronaldo has the ball! Danger!"
Luo Wu would not stop and give Tottenham players a chance to continue chatting with the referee.
He saw Iwobi in the middle!
He rushed forward on the left, with no one following him.
Immediately sent the ball over with a long diagonal pass!
"Asshole!"
Pochettino jumped up anxiously on the sidelines.
"Chasing back! Chasing back!!!"
Damn it, everyone just thought the ball was scored and went to the referee to appeal, but the referee ignored Kane and the others at all.
This allowed Arsenal to launch a quick counterattack!
This is an extremely low-level mistake!
It's simply unforgivable.
Instead of switching from offense to defense at the first opportunity, instead of worrying about whether the ball was scored?
Can Pochettino be annoyed?
When Tottenham's defenders discovered that Iwobi had rushed to the left side of the penalty area with the ball, it was too late and no one could stop Iwobi.
Iwobi faced France captain Lloris alone. When Lloris attacked the corner of the small penalty area, Iwobi decisively pushed the shot into the lower right corner of the goal.
He succeeded. Although Lori pounced down, it was of no use.
"goooooooooooooooal!"
"Woohoo~"
"Poor Tottenham."
"I scored a goal from a sneak attack."
Ferdinand smiled, "Tottenham shouldn't make such a stupid mistake."
"While they were still wondering whether the ball that hit the lintel just now flew into the goal, Arsenal made a lightning counterattack and scored a goal instead."
"But the referee Clattenburg still ran to see Var."
"If the ball that just hit the lintel had been scored, then Arsenal's goal would be invalid."
"Nervous!"
Iwobi had already rushed to celebrate, but when he saw the referee walking towards the video area, he stopped. The cheers of the Arsenal fans also disappeared instantly.
Everyone knows what might happen.
What if the goal is invalid?
Clattenberg watched the video seriously for more than ten seconds and then turned back.
He made a gesture pointing to the middle circle.
The goal direction of this gesture is towards Arsenal!
What does that mean? It means that Arsenal's goal is valid, and Eriksen's kick just now did not score.
The Emirates Stadium suddenly burst into flames.
"Woohoo~"
"Woohoo~"
"It's really not easy!"
"Finally we got a goal back."
The most abused first half of the season, bar none!
But at least the team held on and was able to score goals.
