"Goooooooal!" Seeing Bol announcing that the goal was valid, Martin Gray immediately became energetic and roared passionately in the live broadcast room, "The goal is in! After Drogba attracted Lehmann's attention Send a wonderful pass and assist Cristiano Ronaldo to score a goal! Now, Tottenham Hotspur temporarily leads Arsenal at home with a score of 2 to 1 in this North London derby! If Tottenham can put this If the score is maintained until the end of the game, then they can overtake Arsenal in the standings after the end of this round of league games and occupy the top spot with a one-point advantage!"
"Coach Nelson's adjustments during the halftime break were very effective. He keenly discovered Arsenal's two weaknesses: difficulty in breaking dense defense and lack of ability to attack in the penalty area. He decisively asked the team to give up defensive options on the two wings. The heavy deployment of troops in the middle resulted in Arsenal never creating a threatening shooting opportunity after the start of the second half." Regarding George's tactical adjustment that proved to be extremely effective, Martin Taylor was naturally full of praise, "It can In such a short period of time, he came up with countermeasures and helped the team reverse the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop. He also achieved a lead over Arsenal in the score. Coach Nelson's on-the-spot command level can be said to be the best in England. ”
In fact, George learned this trick against Wenger from Mourinho in his previous life. At that time, the Magic Birds used this set of tactics to beat Wenger and Arsenal to no avail. Since then, Arsenal has been in the shadow of Chelsea for many years. Now, although George also used this killer move against Arsenal and achieved good results, in general, the actual effect of this tactic in this game is not as good as in the previous life. Mourinho was outstanding when using it at Chelsea.
The reason for this difference is mainly because Campbell's competitive status has not declined this season and he still maintains a world-class standard at the center back position; at the same time, Vieira, the captain and midfielder, has not yet Leaving Highbury, Arsenal's defense is not as weak as in the previous life, which in turn causes Tottenham to encounter much greater resistance when counterattacking than Chelsea in the previous life.
While Martin Taylor praised George's on-the-spot adjustments, Andy Gray on the side remained silent throughout. Obviously, it only took Tottenham one half to discover Arsenal's offensive vitality and take advantage of it, and even achieved a lead in the score, which was beyond the expectations of the ace commentator.
However, despite this, Andy Gray did not choose to admit defeat easily, but cheered Arsenal in the live broadcast room: "Although the current situation is quite unfavorable for Arsenal, if Wenger can make adjustments as soon as possible and take advantage of Arsenal has advantages in technology and home games, so it is still unclear who will win in this North London derby!"
Although Wenger couldn't hear Andy Gray's words in the live broadcast room, as the head coach, it is his job to find solutions and make adjustments when the team is in trouble. So, before the game restarted, Wenger once again called Vieira to the sidelines and gave him some instructions: "Patrick, tell everyone, next, speed up the transfer of the ball in the offense, and also intersperse running. We need to increase it appropriately... I don't believe that facing our Arsenal's offensive, Tottenham's defense will not reveal any flaws!"
To be honest, although the strategy Wenger came up with showed Arsenal's skills and off-the-ball movement, it still failed to solve the fundamental problem that the Gunners currently have, which is a serious lack of positional attack!
However, no matter how Arsenal players ran and pulled on the field, Tottenham remained unmoved at all. They relied on their positioning and numerical advantages to tightly block their own penalty area and front lines, leaving the two wings completely open. It couldn't be more obvious - you want to play on the wing, or you want to open a breakthrough in the middle? Sorry, this road is blocked!
Seeing that the time left is getting shorter and shorter, the Arsenal players are becoming more and more impatient. After all, they all know the importance of this North London derby. They know that this derby is not only related to the face of the club, but also to the top of the standings! You know, before this game, Arsenal was only two points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in the standings!
There is a saying that goes well, haste makes waste. The impatience of Arsenal players not only did not help the game at hand, but also made more mistakes in the offense because of their eagerness for success, giving Tottenham more counterattack opportunities and frontcourt positioning. ball!
After seeing Campbell use a fierce collision to knock Ronaldo to the ground, who had already dribbled past him with the ball, interrupting another quick counterattack by Tottenham, more than 2,000 Tottenham fans in the stands Campbell was immediately met with boos and abuse. For this former captain and now the number one traitor, Tottenham fans can be said to gnash their teeth with hatred. Every time they see Campbell wearing an Arsenal jersey in a North London derby, Tottenham fans want to rush up and cut him into pieces immediately, so as to relieve their hatred!
However, the curses from Tottenham fans were immediately covered up by the Arsenal fans who used a louder voice. Although Arsenal fans also disliked Campbell, this is Highbury Stadium, which belongs to Arsenal. How can they tolerate their mortal enemies? Are the fans so outrageous here?
Bol was also unambiguous. Regarding Campbell's foul, he directly gave the central defender a yellow card and awarded Tottenham a frontcourt free kick. He did not give any preferential treatment to the home team because this is Arsenal's home court. . After all, Bol saw quite clearly that if Campbell had not fouled at the time, Ronaldo would have been able to score a solo goal if he successfully broke through, and there was even a great hope of helping Tottenham further expand their lead, so giving him a yellow card was not too much.
"Why did you only give him a yellow card? What Campbell did just now was simply murder!" Seeing that Campbell was only shown a yellow card, George naturally wanted to put pressure on Bol. In his opinion, if Arsenal can take this opportunity to fight with one less person, Tottenham will be able to have an easier time in the counterattack.
"Shut the hell up!" After hearing these words, Vieira was very unhappy and immediately walked up to George and made a "shut up" gesture!
"Oh? You guys are very brave~" Seeing Vieira speaking rudely to him, George glanced at the fourth official not far away. The meaning was obvious: These Arsenal players are so presumptuous in front of me, and you referees are also Don't want to take care of it?
After understanding the meaning in George's eyes, the fourth official looked a little confused and quickly stepped forward to warn Vieira, hoping to resolve the conflict as soon as possible. However, Vieira didn't appreciate it very much. Although he left the scene of the incident, he was still cursing and even the fourth official gave him a "kind greeting".
Therefore, the disgraced fourth official kept this incident in mind with a dark face and prepared to sue Arsenal severely after the game!
It seems that they were inspired by Campbell. In the following period, although Tottenham made many counterattacks, most of them were forcibly interrupted by Arsenal players with fouls. Although there are many hidden dangers in this approach, such as giving Tottenham a set piece in the frontcourt and greatly increasing the chance of one's team getting a card, for Arsenal players, this is all they can think of and it is best to solve it. There's a solution.
It is a pity that Tottenham players are really unlucky. Although the counterattack quality is very high and they also get a lot of well-positioned frontcourt set pieces, they are unable to break through the goal guarded by Lehmann and often miss the goal.
When the game reached the 88th minute, a very controversial scene happened on the court - just as Tottenham players were setting up the wall under the supervision of Boll, Henry kicked out without waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. A free kick!
Just like that, the ball flew into the goal guarded by Cech under the surprised eyes of Tottenham players. And Bol's subsequent action to indicate that the goal was valid aroused strong dissatisfaction among all Tottenham players present! They thought Henry's move was against the rules and gathered around Bol to appeal, hoping that the referee could change the decision and cancel Arsenal's goal!
"Ledley! Let those guys come back and continue the game, don't embarrass yourself there!" At this time, George walked to the sidelines and helped Bol out with a loud roar, "I didn't understand the rules and I suffered a loss. , just stop causing trouble to others!"
After hearing George's roar, Tottenham players immediately left Bol's side and stopped pestering Bol. Although they were confused about the order given by their head coach, they still chose to obey it unconditionally.
Although Henry's direct free kick was suspected of being opportunistic, from the perspective of football rules, there is no problem with Henry's goal. Because there are two main ways of taking free kicks: one is "quick free kick" (quick free kick) and "ceremonial" (ceremonial). The taking of a "formal free kick" must comply with four conditions: a yellow/red card warning is given to the offending player; a staff member requests entry; the offensive team requires the defensive team to retreat 9.15 meters from the wall; the referee decides to slow down the pace of the game. For one of the above four reasons, this free kick is an "official free kick".
Look at Henry's free kick goal again. After giving Arsenal a set kick in the frontcourt, Boll did not show Vidic a yellow card, nor did the team doctor or other staff ask to enter. Henry himself did not ask for the wall to retreat 9.15 meters - therefore, it was possible to decide this The key to the nature of the set piece is Article 4, which is Bol's own attitude towards the set piece in the frontcourt!
George clearly remembers that after a set kick was awarded to Arsenal, Bol did not raise his whistle to signal the players on both sides to listen, but had a brief communication with Henry. Therefore, Arsenal's free kick does not meet any definition of "official free kick", and naturally it is a theoretical "quick free kick".
Therefore, this time Henry relied on a quick free kick to succeed, which was an absolute good shot. I can only blame myself for not knowing enough about the rules of football, so I suffered such a dumb loss.
In this way, with Henry's controversial quick free kick, Arsenal drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur with great difficulty, and finally did not suffer a defeat at their home court!
However, even so, I am afraid that the next period of time for Arsenal players will not be easy - they were led by their rivals in the same city for nearly half a game, and in the end they had to rely on a little cleverness and the help of the referee to barely keep a clean sheet at home. It was enough. Arsenal fans have been verbally criticizing the team and Wenger for a long time after the game.
