To be honest, George's decision to abandon the mid-center and wide-field play in this game was a helpless move. After all, although the strategy of defending the center and playing the wings has been tested in actual combat and proved to be one of the most effective methods to deal with Arsenal, Arsenal's remarks before the game about winning the championship undefeated in the season greatly aroused the public's anger. The competitiveness of Tottenham players directly led to their unwillingness to use this slightly conservative method to win the game against Arsenal at home.
Although their reason tells them that as long as they stick to the previous tactics, they have a high chance of successfully blocking Arsenal and breaking the Gunners' dream of winning the Premier League title with an undefeated record. However, after Arsenal's psychological attack before the game, , the emotional factor in the minds of Tottenham players has obviously taken over - facing the provocation from Arsenal, all Tottenham players are holding back their hearts, intending to use practical actions to severely attack the Gunners' arrogance!
The reason for this situation is mainly because Tottenham's record against Arsenal this season has a considerable advantage, which makes Tottenham players somewhat despise Arsenal-if the previous four North London derbies had At that time, if Arsenal had a record of successfully defeating Tottenham, then the players would still maintain a certain degree of vigilance and settle down to fight the Gunners' defensive counterattack. Now, as Arsenal has lost four consecutive games in the North London derby this season, and the last two meetings ended in two consecutive losses, Tottenham players will inevitably have some inflated psychology.
After all, no matter how amazing Tottenham's results are this season, most people, including George, lack or have never had similar experiences. Therefore, facing Arsenal, a defeated opponent, it is normal for the players to have the mentality of underestimating the enemy.
Fortunately, after being reminded by old Charlie, George woke up first and noticed early that the mental state of his players was very different from the previous few games against Arsenal. This change was further confirmed during team training. Therefore, George came up with this tactic in this game that can only be regarded as preliminary and is still a long way from being completed, and used this North London Derby as the testing ground and whetstone for this new tactic. !
Although George can also use the authority of the head coach to force the players to obey his tactical arrangements, this will cause the players to have a rebellious mentality. By then, it is really unknown whether Tottenham, whose generals are not working together, can defeat Arsenal, who are bent on creating an undefeated league record.
Therefore, out of various considerations, George finally decided to obey the players' psychology and gave up the most reliable defensive counterattack tactics. Instead, he chose to take the initiative and use another brand-new set of tactics to deal with Arsenal!
However, although Tottenham players psychologically despise Arsenal, this does not mean that they will not pay attention to the North London Derby with Arsenal. Not to mention anything else, just the formation ceremony before the start of the game that made Tottenham feel extremely humiliated was enough for everyone to get up to 12 points and face the game in the fullest state!
Just like that, with Howard Webb's whistle, the fifth North London derby of the 2003-04 season officially kicked off at White Hart Lane!
When Webber blew the opening whistle, Henry, who was standing in the center circle of the court, quickly passed the ball back to Vieira behind him, then turned and rushed into Tottenham's half. As before, the Highbury King still chose to insert diagonally towards the left side of the frontcourt, leaving space in the middle for teammates such as Bergkamp and Pires.
For Henry, who has poor offensive ability, being nailed to a small center will only make the King of Highbury feel at a loss and unable to use his advantages in speed and movement. Only by allowing Henry to get as much starting space as possible through running without the ball and passing and cutting, can Henry's power on the offensive end be maximized!
If it was Tottenham before, then at this time they would definitely shrink their defense line to block the center and leave the two wings to Henry and Ljungberg. However, this time, Tottenham players did not do this. Instead, they adopted a regional defense method. Each player was responsible for their own defense zone and determined not to follow the Arsenal players around!
Seeing that Tottenham's defense did not reveal any flaws due to his own running, Henry could only curse inwardly, and then passed the ball back to the nearby defender before Phil Neville and Carrick could complete the encirclement. Pires planned to let his teammates reorganize a wave of offensive.
However, Henry's pass was intercepted by Mascherano who came out from an angle. The latter did not show any sloppiness after intercepting the ball. He directly raised his foot and sent a long pass, and found it with great accuracy. Ronaldo inserted at high speed along the right sideline!
"Beautiful!" George's eyes lit up when he saw Mascherano's long pass. He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Ma Ke was very good at attacking when he first debuted. It was not until he was transformed into a defensive midfielder by Benitez at Liverpool that his ability in this area gradually deteriorated.
Since Mascherano has such a talent, should he develop his ability in this area and make him a deep-lying playmaker with both offense and defense, instead of just treating him as a midfield sweeper? Thinking like this, George couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and didn't even continue to pay attention to the team's quick counterattack.
His eyes returned to the court. After receiving Mascherano's long pass, Ronaldo immediately took the ball and continued to accelerate, leaving the opponent Ashley Cole far behind - no wonder, in Mascherano When Llano launched a counterattack, Cole himself was still staying in Tottenham's half to participate in the attack. Naturally, it was impossible to catch up with the Portuguese who was already far away from him.
Immediately afterwards, Cristiano Ronaldo sent a low pass before Gilberto's defense was in place. Drogba, who followed up in the middle, forced his kick to hit the goal against Campbell's defense. Unfortunately, Drogba's shot was easily saved by Lehmann, who had been prepared long ago, and failed to pose any threat.
Although Tottenham got a kick from Tottenham at the start, the Arsenal players did not shrink back. Because after just testing, they got a piece of very good news, that is, Tottenham players obviously have no intention of continuing to stick to the center in this game!
In this case, Tottenham have nothing to fear! Thinking like this, the Arsenal players couldn't help but feel boosted in morale, as if they had seen the dawn of victory. After all, in their view, the reason Tottenham was able to gain the upper hand in the derby was entirely due to its shameless defensive counterattack. Otherwise, Tottenham would have been reduced to rubbish by them!
Arsenal's offensive was fierce, and the Tottenham players were naturally not to be outdone. They played attack against the Gunners on the court. The pace of the game was so fast!
"Kid George... what on earth is he thinking?" Looking at the Tottenham players who were uncharacteristically proactive and George sitting on the coaching bench as if he was sitting on a fishing platform, Ferguson, who was sitting in front of the TV, couldn't help but be confused. From Sir Alex Ferguson's point of view, it was clear that George had found a trump card against Arsenal, so why should he give up this advantage and start an offensive battle with the Gunners on the field?
If the first four encounters between the two teams this season were conflicts, then this contest between the two teams gives people the feeling that the brave will win when they meet in a narrow road. After the game started, players from both sides fought against each other on the court, joining forces to present a battle for the fans!
Although both Arsenal and Tottenham chose to focus on offense in this game, as the game progressed, many people still saw many differences in the tactics of the two teams. On the defensive end, Tottenham is obviously more professional and systematic than Arsenal. The four defenders and three midfielders rely on reasonable positions and movements to block the passing routes of Arsenal players. Robba and others frequently retreated to participate in defense, further dividing the Gunners' offense into many parts, thus compressing the offensive space of Arsenal players and forcing them to fight alone; on the offensive end, although DeRoro Ba and others have not yet fully adapted to the tactics developed by George, but the frequent cross-positioning of several frontcourt players in the offense still makes Lehmann one of the busiest players on the court!
On the other hand, Arsenal, although on the offensive end they have caused a lot of trouble to Tottenham who are no longer focused on defense through passing and cutting, on the defensive end, Wenger's weakness of not being good at coaching defense has been fully exposed, and most of the time he only Can rely on the personal abilities of Campbell, Toure and others to resolve the crisis.
So, when the game reached the 35th minute, Arsenal players finally made a mistake and gave Tottenham a super gift - Basturk passed the ball to Drogba who withdrew from the penalty area. Pulling to the front left, the latter got the ball and passed it to Villa who moved to the right. Then the Spaniard pulled the ball and turned around to dodge Ashley Cole's press, and then passed the ball across the penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the arc!
Seeing Ronaldo getting the ball at the dangerous top of the penalty area, Campbell and Kolo Toure couldn't help but rush toward Ronaldo. However, just as they left, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball to the position where Toure was before - there, Basturk, who made a big circle on the left side of the court and then inserted diagonally into the penalty area, just arrived. Position and be ready to kick the ball!
Let a player of Basturk's level get the chance to hit the goal less than ten meters away from the goal, and one can easily imagine Arsenal's fate. One to zero! The Turkish midfielder opened the scoring for Tottenham!
What the hell does this happen? Looking at Basturk celebrating his goal with his teammates on the court, Wenger felt that his brain was in chaos. You know, just a minute ago, Wenger saw the Turk controlling the ball in the midfield to organize the attack. Why did this guy rush into the penalty area and grab a shot in the blink of an eye?
At the same time, looking at Wenger who was standing on the sidelines with a dumbfounded expression, George sneered secretly in his heart - thinking that after using provocation to abolish our extremely restrained Arsenal tactics, you would have A chance to beat our own Tottenham Hotspur and become the first team in Premier League history to win the title with an unbeaten season?
Pooh! dream!
