Chapter 393 Tactical Foul
The so-called most popular city derby in Britain is that no matter how short you play, every game is still full.
The Emirates Stadium was packed on 10th. Sixty thousand fans gathered at the brand new Emirates Stadium to witness the 153rd North London derby. The Gunners fans also hope to witness Arsenal's defeat of this city-like enemy again, and it would be best to completely defeat them back to their original form.
Since the beginning of this season, with Ye Qiu's strong takeover, Tottenham Hotspur's performance has still occupied a lot of pages in the newspapers and media, and has attracted a lot of attention. Recently, with Beckham's joining, Tottenham's every move has attracted the attention of media around the world, which makes the city rivals with better performance naturally unhappy.
But if you are unhappy in normal times, you can't do anything to the other party, but now it's different, the two teams are on the way.
Therefore, Arsenal fans booed Tottenham from the beginning at the Emirates Stadium, hoping to use boo to affect Tottenham's performance. Arsenal also actively used their home advantage to launch a scramble to attack Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning.
Wenger had a knot in this game, that is, Beckham.
Ye Qiu's starting lineup in this game was a bit surprising, but it was not surprising.
The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Vargas, Hangland, Thiago Silva and Aveloa, the three midfielders are Beckham, Mascherano and Fabregas, and the front tridents are Ribery, Van Nistrui and Messi.
Tottenham Hotspur can be said to have sent all the main lineups to play, and it is not surprising to Beckham's starting lineup, because he has played more and more in the past two games. However, his debut against Liverpool is very eye-catching, but the FA Cup in Cardiff is relatively average, which also makes many people worried whether the game at Anfield Stadium will become Beckham's inspiration and then completely extinguished?
Wenger dared not take risks. He has seen many second half of Anfield game. After Beckham came on the court, Tottenham's midfield became very threatening. It can even be said that even Benitez, the head coach with very strong targeted tactics, could not find a solution or restraint for a while.
Therefore, in this game, Wenger is baptista. The Brazilian beast can not only play forward, attack the opponent's defense for Henry, but also retreat to play midfield, both offense and defense. Therefore, Wenger hopes that he can help the midfield, strengthen the strength of the midfield when necessary, and deal with the measures from Tottenham Hotspur.
Because of this, Arsenal seemed to be attacking after the start of the game, but in fact, the offensive investment was not large.
Beep~
The whistle sound from the court woke Wenger up, and his heart jumped. He raised his head and worried that he would see the team giving Tottenham Hotspur a set piece in the frontcourt. Fortunately, when he looked up, he saw Henry shook his head back with annoyed look, and the lineman raised the flag in his hand high, which was an offside.
Looking at the big screen of the stadium, what I saw was Rosici's straight pass. Henry started too fast, and Tottenham's defense line was pressing up very quickly overall, causing Henry to be in a very obvious offside position when Rosici passed the ball.
Wenger sat in the home team's coach's seat. Although there was a soft and comfortable leather sofa chair under his butt, he always felt awkward and felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat. Finally, he sighed, stood up, and walked out of the coach's seat.
Arsenal soon created another opportunity. Baptistara went to the right, flashed past Vargas and made a cross, but the cross was stuck by Thiago Silva. The Brazilian central defender headed the ball in the battle with Henry, and resolved an attack by Arsenal.
But after the ball flew out of the penalty area, Arteta inserted and stopped the ball, and shot with a long shot. However, the angle was too straight and Cech directly rushed directly. Arsenal's tide offensive also made the Gunners fans in the stands of the Emirates Stadium cheer like thunder. Obviously, they all hope that the team can continue to work hard and it is best to score the goal as soon as possible.
Wenger stood on the sidelines, watching the team keep attacking Tottenham Hotspur, but the results are very little
He could feel that Tottenham Hotspur's defense is indeed getting tighter and tighter. In fact, he had already realized this problem in the league game a month ago. Although Tottenham Hotspur held high the banner of offensive football, many people believed that this team was known for offensive football.
But in fact, this team's defense is also quite strict, and it is very layered and organized.
For example, the pass Rosici just passed to Henry, Tottenham Hotspur's offside trap was very good. No matter how Arsenal played or attacked, Tottenham Hotspur's defense was very layered, orderly, and not messy.
This makes it difficult for Arsenal's offense to create a threat.
It was as if this time, Henry was about to make a breakthrough on the left side, but Aveloa, the defensive player, was not as fast as he could, but his clinging skills were first-rate. He directly stuck to Henry and did not allow Henry to break through as he pleased. As a result, Henry had to stop and pass the ball across the street. Baptista inserted it and barely took off before Mascherano, and shot from a long shot.
Judging from this attack alone, Arsenal had the advantage, but in fact, it did not create an effective threat at all. Neither Henry nor Baptista could create a good opportunity to score in the absolute sense.
"Let them move in the middle of the game, don't give them a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt easily." Wenger frowned like a mountain, with a worried look on his face, explaining to the assistant coach Pat Rice who followed him.
There is no need to say much about Beckham's set-piece skills. The whole world knows that Arsenal does have weaknesses in defending set-pieces, because neither Galas nor Kloe, their ability to defend high balls is very strong, because height limits their performance. However, Tottenham Hotspur team has strong players like Hangland and powerful scoring centers like Van Nicht, so they should not be careless at all.
Wenger had already solemnly warned the players before the game to reduce the number of fouls in the half, so Arsenal played in the half of the game in this game, and the team has been attacking from the beginning, and it is not that they have tried their best to put the battlefield in the half of Tottenham Hotspur.
But just after Wenger asked, just after Arsenal's attack for more than ten minutes after the opening, Tottenham also launched a counterattack. After Beckham got the ball, he passed the ball over Arsenal's midfielder and fell to Van Nisstrui's feet.
The Dutch center took the ball with his back and leaned against Kroo Toure and Galas. At this time, because Beckham and Mascherano were present behind him, Fabregas's offense became more determined and directly inserted to support him.
Fanny passed the ball to Fabregas, who passed the ball directly, passing between Galas and Krish, while Messi quickly threw Crish away, inserted it at an extremely fast start speed to catch the ball.
Galas' reaction speed was also very fast, chasing back quickly, and blocking Messi outside the penalty area. However, the Argentine young player was very skilled in his feet. With a fake move, he tricked Galas, who was in a high-speed sprint, had to stop, but he was small and adjusted the center of gravity more quickly. After tricking Galas into stopping, Messi suddenly accelerated again.
When a person adjusts the center of gravity, it is impossible for his feet to make movements, but Galas is very clear that if Messi is allowed to pass by at this time, it will be a one-on-one strike. With the personal ability of the Argentine young player, it is not a problem to directly hit the empty goal after passing Lehmann. Therefore, the idea of preventing Messi from being extraordinary flashed through his mind in an instant, and he reached out to hold Messi's jersey.
The Argentine young player was pulled out of balance and fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.
Tottenham fans in the stands cheered in unison, this is a tactical foul
The Arsenal fans, who were crowded, booed in unison and cursed Tottenham Hotspur fans to put pressure on the referee. The entire Emirates Stadium was full of people.
"This is a test of the referee's willpower. This is indeed a tactical foul. Galas is also the last defensive player. If the referee is strong enough, he should give Galas a red card and punish his tactical foul. But now the game has just begun, and this is the Emirates Stadium again."
The Arsenal fans at the scene obviously know how to take advantage of this, so they are constantly putting pressure on the referee.
Sometimes, the so-called home court advantage is further reflected in this way.
The referee stopped the players on both sides who wanted to put pressure. Arsenal obviously felt that this was an ordinary foul because Kloe Toure was already chasing back, but Tottenham Hotspur felt that this was an unquestionable tactical foul. After that, Messi broke into the penalty area and formed a one-on-one strike. Isn't this a tactical foul?
After the referee stabilized the emotions of the players on both sides, he finally showed a yellow card to Galas and gave Tottenham a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt. This set ball was about meter away from the goal, and the top of the arc was slightly to the right.
"If it was in the second half, Arsenal would be done." Ye Qiu shook his head when he watched the court.
Sometimes the referee needs to consider many factors when making a penalty, even home factors. Moreover, after just 13 minutes of the game, he gave the home team a red card, which is indeed a very test of the referee's willpower.
"Damn it, they always take advantage of it." Roland cursed on the side. The last time he visited the Emirates Stadium, both goals were controversial, but considering that the referee was Boer, and it was just a controversy, it was within the range of the referee's measurement, Tottenham Hotspur did not act too tough.
"If Galas is sent off now, not only Arsenal will not have to play in this game, but also in the next round." Mauro Tasotti also explained the referee's approach with a wry smile.
The law enforcement standards of football games can never be completely neutral. The referee's penalty is always affected by very, very many factors. Assuming that this time, no red card was given to Arsenal, which led to Tottenham Hotspur losing the game, Tottenham Hotspur was indeed very unfair.
Of course, the referee committee will also have this aspect of consideration, so many times you are at a disadvantage at this time. I will give you some compensation in subsequent games or in future games, which is considered to be a balance.
This is also why everyone says that anyone may suffer losses from the referee’s mistakes, and it is also why Mourinho kept bombarding the referee in his previous life, but was sneered by most professionals. You can’t always just stare at yourself and say that you have to consider taking advantage of yourself.
If all teams have to list misjudgments for themselves to suffer losses, it will definitely be a lot. If you want to list misjudgments for themselves to take advantage, there will definitely be a lot. Of course, it is impossible to take as much as taking advantage, and no one can do it.
So generally speaking, unless it is very necessary, Ye Qiu will not put pressure on the referee or even bombard the referee.
This time the free throw point is in a place where you can choose to shoot by yourself or indirectly assist, while the player taking the penalty is still Beckham. He stood near the free throw point, put the ball on, slowly took a few steps back, and calculated the distance.
Players from both teams rushed in quickly in the penalty area, while Lehman leaned on the right post and directed his teammates to set up walls.
Everyone is a professional player and is used to the principle of following the referee on the football field. So when Beckham stood still, both sides were ready to make the final blow at any time.
In this game, Beckham ran a lot, which was his first start in a long time, but he has always maintained high-intensity training. Coupled with the familiarity and adaptation process of the previous two games, although he was a little tired because his body was far from the best, he was just a little breathing after all.
He stretched out his right hand and made a downward movement. Beckham rushed forward for four steps as the referee whistle sounded. He was just right to step on his left foot, swung his right foot, and pulled the ball towards the ball.
The ball climbed quickly, crossed the high-leading wall, and fell rapidly in the middle of the penalty area, with a very fast speed, almost in the blink of an eye. When Lehman reacted and quickly flew to the right, the ball had almost rubbed against the angle between the crossbar and the right column, and hit the ball net.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
"The Moon Scimitar scored a great direct free kick"
"The direct free kick from David Beckham is his first goal since he returned to the Premier League. It comes from his iconic Full Moon Scimitar. It is very exciting. It scores a direct free kick of more than 20 meters away from the goal."
Amid the shouting of the game commentator at the top of his lungs, Beckham seemed to be doing something very ordinary, not excited at all, nor was he excited at all because of the goal. After scoring, he was hugged and congratulated by his teammates, but he just smiled and walked back slowly.
He is more clear about his physical condition than anyone else. His long-term lack of game has made his condition still not reach its best. Although he insists on training every day, it is just training and can only help the players maintain their condition. However, the player's condition comes from the game. If there is no game, the condition is not much better.
So, after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, although Beckham performed very positively and hardworkingly, his contributions were still in long pass transfers and set pieces, which made him feel dissatisfied because he could do more and do better.
Although he has only been in London for less than half a month, he has already clearly felt that at Tottenham Hotspur, he has a group of very outstanding teammates and a very outstanding head coach. This is a team that is very important, so Beckham is constantly adjusting his requirements and goals.
At the very least, he must prove that he can gain a foothold in this team
"It's Beckham again. He played Liverpool before, and he chose to assist in a set piece, but this time he chose to do it himself and directly broke Arsenal's goal with a free kick, which made Lehmann unable to react at all.
The big screen of Emirates Stadium is constantly replaying the entire process of Beckham's straight free kick scoring, a perfect combination of speed, strength and arc. By the time Lehman reacted, the ball had already entered the net.
Wenger sighed deeply on the sidelines. He was just glad that he had escaped the tactical foul by Galas, but now he feels helpless because although he escaped the red card, he was scored by Tottenham Hotspurs' first record and scored.
Of course, compared to conceiving one goal, Wenger will definitely choose the latter, not the former.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to die after scoring the goal, Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines and made a move toward the team, signaling the team to take advantage of the victory and not to give Arsenal a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, and to hit the ball directly to death, completely destroying the Gunners' morale and spirit.
This is not only for this game, but also for the next round of the game at White Hart Lane Stadium.
At the same time, Ye Qiu also conveyed the adjustment order to Beckham through Ribery, that is, after the team pressed forward, he should not retreat too far, because Ye Qiu noticed that Baptista actively retreated and participated in the midfield defense. Once Beckham retreated and retreated behind, the one who defended him would become Baptista.
In other words, Ye Qiu asked Beckham to measure himself how to roam between two players, Gilberto Silva and Baptista, was a test for him.
But the veteran is a veteran, and Beckham quickly got another chance. This time he took advantage of Baptista's return and Gilberto Silva did not dare to press forward and press forward, and passed the ball over the top for a long pass, and the ball fell behind Kloe Toure. Ribery quickly inserted the counter-offside and then got the ball along the left side, pushing the ball low on the left side of the penalty area.
Chapter completed!
