They scored two goals in the last ten minutes of the first half to take the lead. When they returned to the locker room, the players were very excited.
Especially the young Ashley Cole, who even took off his T-shirt and swung it up, singing a song of victory, but was quickly defeated by Bergkamp's cold eyes.
"Okay lads, I know you're all very excited right now and I'm equally proud of your performance, but popping the champagne at half-time is undoubtedly a stupid thing to do. We still have a whole second half and a whole season to play. So now let’s calm down.”
Wenger spoke, and the players' emotions gradually calmed down. They had just rinsed off the dirt on their legs in the bathroom and washed their faces. Chen Mo, with wet black hair, took off his T-shirt and sat down in the closet No. 24 with his upper body naked. In front of you, bend down and take out the warm shin pads.
"Hey, go on." Vieira threw a bottle of sports drink over, his big dark face broke into a smile: "Xiao Mo, I suggest you get a haircut. Your hair is too long and it will affect your header. .”
"Hahaha, don't do it. Thierry has no hair, so heading the ball won't stretch his hips."
Chen Mo took a sip of water and raised his eyebrows with a smile at Henry next to him. Henry rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "That's not because Patrick doesn't have such accurate long passes as you. It's useless for me to practice heading. Hahaha, ah !It hurts!”
Before Henry could finish his words, Vieira hit him hard on the arm, "Humph, you deserve this!"
The players were in a mess. Seeing all this, Wenger's eyes flashed with joy. He smiled and walked to the tactical board and clapped his hands: "Okay, let's arrange the tactics for the second half. Phillips, you replace Lauren in the second half. .”
As soon as these words came out, the lively atmosphere in the locker room gradually calmed down. Bergkamp looked thoughtful in his eyes, attacking the strong and defending the weak. The 19-year-old right back named Phillips nodded excitedly. He didn't expect to be able to play one game at Arsenal before going out on loan. Only Lauren looked a little unnatural, "I understand, boss."
"Well, this is just a normal rotation. Don't think too much. You still have a place in the team."
Lauren is a jack-of-all-trades right back who can attack, but only a little.
He is more defensive, but his offensive and defensive abilities are not strong. Arsenal used to play mainly on the left, and Ljungberg passed from the right to pass, so he can cover up his shortcomings with the help of the entire team, but now the team needs The right back takes on more offensive responsibilities, and his abilities are somewhat insufficient.
Wenger gave a few words of comfort with a complicated look on his face, and turned to look at Chen Mo: "In the second half, Chelsea probably won't give you the space to pass the long ball easily, so you will be at the front of the three midfielders and be responsible for the first line of defense. Sweep and intercept, and be responsible for serving as the core of the organization when attacking. Don't be too impatient when organizing. Chelsea's three midfielders have strong defensive capabilities. It is difficult for you to get opportunities, but don't hesitate when there is an opportunity to pass the threatening ball. If you have the opportunity, Just pass the ball directly and our defense can withstand Chelsea's counterattack."
"No problem boss!"
"very good."
Wenger nodded, "Then, in the second half, Phillips will frequently push forward, so I need your three midfielders to make up for the space on the right left by him. Of course, as for who will be the backstop, you will decide according to the situation on the field." Make a decision as the situation changes. If you are really unsure, just look to me and I will give you a signal from the sidelines."
.
While Wenger was talking about tactics in the locker room, on the other side was the women's dormitory of Harvard University in Boston, USA.
"Hill, do you want to go to lunch?"
"Oh! Britney, I told you don't call me Hill! Call me Kelly!"
"I know, Cleomegistus Hill."
"If you say that again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"Hahaha, just kidding."
The roommate, who was wearing bear pajamas, climbed out of bed from the wooden ladder and walked to the computer desk in sandals. He took off the rimless glasses on Keli's face and put them on. He leaned over and looked at the computer screen, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised a smile. Smiling: "Oh oh oh, watching your crush play the game again, I caught you!"
"Give it back to me!"
She grabbed the glasses with all her teeth and claws, and the glasses legs passed through the smooth platinum shoulder-length short hair and rested between the delicate white ears. Keli, wearing a black nightgown, sat on the computer chair with her legs hugged, feeling the snowy mountains being squeezed, She moved her butt uncomfortably and wrinkled her little nose: "What do you mean by secretly missing someone? I'm just bored and watching football to pass the time!"
"Hey, don't lie to a three-year-old kid about killing time watching football. So many boys on the football team asked you out but you never agreed. Let me tell you, Conan from the school team is actually pretty good. He's handsome. My family is rich, but I’m a little short. Are you really not going to consider it?”
"No interest. I, Keli, have no interest in men at all!"
"Okay, okay, everything you said is right, then, do you want to go out to eat together?"
"Bring me a bowl of tomato and egg rice!"
"I don't know why you like Chinese food so much, okay, okay."
The roommate stretched herself out, with a flash of white on her waist, and began to take off her clothes. Halfway through, her clothes were hanging on her elbows. She suddenly turned around curiously and asked, "By the way, have you received investment for your social software project?"
"Well--"
Keli drank milk, puffed out her milk-stained mouth and shook her head. Her roommate shrugged: "Don't blame me for not telling you. Yesterday, my friend told me that Zuckerberg, a junior, had already raised 100,000 yuan. With an investment of US dollars, we started to expand the servers and update the website. They are gaining momentum. If they can’t attract more investment, all the users you have accumulated before will be gone.”
"Got it!"
"Hey, bad-tempered girl, that's it, I'm going out."
"Bye."
The sound of the door closing reached her cochlea, and Keli, who had always seemed to be very excited, suddenly wilted. She rubbed her hair and looked at Chen Mo running onto the field with some pain on the computer screen. The fluorescent light illuminated the big dark circles behind her glasses extremely brightly.
Listening to the passionate explanation, she hesitated for a moment, then frantically opened the drawer to get the phone. But the moment her fingertips touched the phone, her whole arm bounced back like an electric shock.
After a long time, a gentle sigh came from the bedroom.
.
The halftime break was not long. Arsenal played very well offensively in the first half. Wenger only emphasized some defensive issues. Soon, the fifteen-minute break ended. Under the cheers of countless fans, Chen Mo came on stage from the player tunnel at a trot.
"Okay, spectators and fans, welcome back. This is the focus of the second round of the Premier League. Chelsea vs. Arsenal. I am the commentator Jason."
"I'm Tony."
"Well, now you can see that players from both teams have appeared one after another. Hey, Lauren has actually sat on the bench, and his replacement is 19-year-old Phillips! It is reported that this youngster from Arsenal's youth training The player is negotiating loan terms with Club Brugge of the Belgian First Division, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Wenger would let him appear at this time.”
"Indeed, Phillips is 1.73 meters tall and weighs only 68 kilograms. His thin body makes him very disadvantaged in confrontation, but correspondingly, he is very fast and has high flexibility. He is a typical attacker. A fast full-back who is strong in defense and weak in defense. Well, I have to say that Mr. Wenger is indeed a coach who advocates offensive football. In the first half, Robben had already caused damage on the right wing, and now he has even replaced him with a defensive player. Weak player!"
"That's true, but to be honest, attack is sometimes the best defense. A big reason why Robben was so active in the first half was that Lauren couldn't attack, and at the same time he was behind and couldn't guard Robben. Ben! It’s hard to be embarrassed in this situation, but Phillips is very fast. Mr. Wenger obviously sent him on the field to attack the right wing, and his impact is bound to attract the entire Chelsea right wing players. This In this case, Robben needs to retreat a little to help defend Chen Mo."
"Indeed, the premise of all this is that Phillips' strength can give enough impact to the right wing, otherwise everything is empty talk."
"Yes, no matter how good the tactics are, the players themselves need to be strong. Okay, the referee Nelson blew the whistle to start the second half, and Arsenal served. Let's see what changes will happen in the second half!"
