Chapter 275: The only top coach in Class B who can command on the spot
With a harsh sound, the ball did not bounce into the goal, but bounced out.
All the Gunners players couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately, Koscielny, Bellerin, Monreal and other Gunners players subconsciously rushed towards the ball.
However, someone is faster than them!
A blue figure, as if he had been prepared, rushed out of the crowd, and then pushed ahead of everyone with the inside of his foot!
The ball went straight into the net from the lower right corner of the goal!
Cech, who was a little slower, could only watch the ball and sigh
The one who completed the follow-up shot was naturally the striker with the keenest sense of smell on Leicester City's front line - Jamie. Vardy!
“Follow up!”
"Vardy scored!!!"
"The Blue Fox No. 9 scored his ninth goal of the season. He has scored in seven consecutive league rounds!"
Even though the Gunners players raised their hands one after another, indicating that Vardy was offside.
However, the linesman did not raise the flag as they expected, but ran back.
At the same time, the referee Oliver also pointed to the kick-off point, indicating that the goal was valid!
"No problem! Leicester City equalized the score at home!"
Ling Feng and other teammates also rushed to Vardy to celebrate with him.
Ranieri on the sidelines also applauded with a smile on his face.
Since witnessing Ling Feng’s amazing long-range shooting ability in the last round, he immediately made some additions to the team’s long-range set-piece tactics.
In the past, set kicks thirty meters away from the goal would be handled by Ling Feng or Mahrez depending on the area.
But the choice of the two is usually to pass the ball into the penalty area and look for teammates with high points.
But now, if the position of the set kick is in the middle, Ranieri will let Ling Feng hit the goal directly!
After two months of additional practice, Ling Feng shot the ball directly in although he was not sure.
However, he is certain to hit the target!
Moreover, with his shooting power of 99, the goalkeeper can't catch his shot at all. He can only save it with both palms or hit the ball with two dragons.
Of course, it’s best to enter directly.
But if you don't go in, you are saved by the goalkeeper or hit the crossbar or goalpost, and bounce out, Vardy or other teammates who are ready will rush to the goal as soon as possible to make up for it. shoot.
This is why before taking the free kick, Ling Feng gave Vardy a wink and asked Mahrez to move forward to attract him!
And the carefully designed set-piece tactics have really paid off!
After Leicester City equalized the score, the situation on the field did not change much.
Arsenal continued to control the ball and used a small area to launch a siege against the hedgehog Leicester City.
Short passes and one-shot kicks have allowed the Gunners to increase their passing numbers and dazzled the audience.
As the team's most important ball-holding point in the frontcourt, Sanchez, the "thigh" on the left, is the most active in the frontcourt.
Perhaps it was the goal in the first half that made him realize that Simpson, who was facing him, seemed unable to guard him.
So, the Chilean star repeatedly took the ball on the left and made breakthroughs, taking turns attacking the right flank guarded by Simpson, trying to use his personal ability to tear apart the Blue Fox's defense.
And Simpson gradually became familiar with his passing rhythm, using his excellent physical fitness to press as much as possible.
Coupled with the fact that midfielder Kanter came over many times to help defend, Sanchez was less aggressive.
However, Arsenal's offense does not solely rely on Sanchez's personal ability.
Like many wealthy teams, the Gunners' offensive tactics also focus on a combination of wing and center.
Especially the two full-backs Bellerin and Monreal, have excellent tracking abilities.
Therefore, when the team attacks, they often rush to the frontcourt boldly and form a small-scale series cooperation with the forward or midfielder at the front of the penalty area to create more changes.
Although Kanter, a defensive midfielder with a large coverage area, moves left and right and constantly participates in assisting defense.
However, he is only a person after all.
You can defend the left lane, but you cannot teleport to the right lane all of a sudden.
Then it’s not Kanter, but Naruto, the shadow clone
Seeing Arsenal's offensive wave after wave, Ling Feng had to return to the midfield area to help defend.
Super fast speed and abundant physical fitness allow him to use running in the midfield to cover a larger defensive area.
However, in a defensive posture, it is difficult for people to maintain a high degree of concentration for a long time.
Moreover, defense will always consume more energy than offense, both physically and mentally.
Being suppressed by Arsenal in the half, it was not until the 42nd minute of the first half that Arsenal attacked again!
This time, Sanchez received the ball and broke through on the left, once again attracting Kanter to the left, and then passed back to Ergo, who was responsible for the series in the middle.
The latter passed the ball back to Cazorla who was later.
Seeing this, the Blue Fox generals thought that Arsenal would continue to play from the outside. When the tight strings relaxed slightly, Cazorla, the brains of the Gunners, seized this opportunity and suddenly advanced with the ball!
This is the essence of passing and controlling tactics!
First use the back pass from the outside to stretch the defense line and paralyze the opponent's defensive attention.
Then he suddenly increases his speed and catches his opponent by surprise!
Cazorla, who came forward with the ball, first hit the wall with Ergou. After passing Ling Feng, Ergou passed back with his heel, allowing Cazorla to get the ball and hit the big goal. On the right side of the penalty area.
Then, before Kanter came up to defend, he sent a moderate through ball into the penalty area!
And Ramsey, who crossed in from the right, got ahead of Fuchs and got stuck.
Driving the ball to the baseline, Ramsey crossed the middle without hesitation.
This low cross was a very good one, right in the area between the goalkeeper and the defender.
Little Schmeichel did not dare to attack, for fear of being hit into an empty goal;
Huth or Morgan did not dare to stretch their feet to block, for fear of scoring an own goal.
In the end, the ball went all the way unimpeded and reached the back of the goal
Fortunately, under Simpson's personal interference, Sanchez's push hit the target with a "bang" sound. It hit Huth and bounced outside the penalty area.
It fell right at Cazorla's feet.
The midfield master, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, stepped on the ball, then flicked it, took a look at the goalkeeper's position, and shot directly!
The ball drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, bypassed the Blue Fox players blocking the front, and spiraled unstoppably into the upper right corner of the goal!
In this way, Arsenal took the lead again in the first half.
With the lead again, Wenger waved his hand, and Arsenal also adopted a pragmatic low defense.
Leave Walcott, the fast horse, in the frontcourt to counterattack, and everyone else will retreat to their own half!
Obviously, the first half is coming to an end and they intend to take the lead back into the locker room.
Although Leicester City's formation also pressed forward, they launched a wave of fierce attacks.
However, there was not much time left, and several passes and cuts had no effect, and they still failed to tie the score in the first half.
The two sides returned to the locker room with a score of one to two.
When the players returned to the locker room, Ranieri immediately began his lecture:
"This is our home court, our territory. And the fans are on our side."
"It's just a goal difference! We still have a whole half, forty-five minutes to tie or even overtake the score!"
"So, don't rush!"
"According to our rhythm, they should continue to adopt defensive tactics in the second half to lure us into attacking."
"Ling, you can attack Flamini more and break through boldly." "Also, your defense can be stronger, so that the fans who bought tickets to watch your game in the stands can see what you want." The passion and determination to win this game!”
In the first half, although the team gave up most of the ball possession, they attacked the opportunity in the offensive third zone and Not much.
However, the team lacks some tacit understanding on the defensive end and even lacks some communication.
After hearing Ranieri's words, the eyes of all the Blue Fox players also became a little more fierce.
Even Kanter's eyes became sharper!
. . .
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.
As expected, Wenger continued to maintain the defensive counterattack formation in the first half.
This is very consistent with the character of the godfather of Arsenal - conservative!
In his opinion, if the away team is leading at the King Power Stadium, as long as they are willing to pragmatically retreat to half-time and launch a defensive counterattack.
Leicester City, playing at home, will inevitably press out to attack, giving them the opportunity to counterattack quickly.
At that time, the Gunners only need one chance to completely end the suspense of the game!
However, he seems to have ignored a very important issue.
That’s the team’s defense, which is not as good as imagined!
The key to defensive counterattack tactics is that you must first prevent the opponent's attack before you can counterattack later!
In the final analysis, during the years under Wenger's coaching, Arsenal has always suppressed its opponents with gorgeous technology and offense.
Especially at the beginning of this century, with Henry, Pires, Bergkamp and other frontcourt players,
At that time, the Gunners' defense was also impregnable.
The two defensive midfielders Vieira and Petit built a French iron wall in the midfield that no one could easily cross.
Coupled with the defense line composed of Lawrence, Kolo Toure, Campbell, and Ashley Cole, few teams in Europe can directly tear apart Arsenal's defense and directly face the gate guarded by Lehmann!
But, that is all Lao Huangli’s business.
Arsenal’s current midfielders are Flamini and Cazorla!
After the start of the second half, Ling Feng significantly increased the number of breakthroughs with the ball in the midfield.
The two wingers are running through each other, opening up space for them to break through, while also looking for opportunities to move forward and catch the ball.
Ling Feng repeatedly gained huge space to break through and advance in the midfield, becoming the most active player in the Blue Fox offense.
In front of Ling Feng, the number one supercar in Britain, these two veterans who are over 30 years old are no match for him!
Cazorla couldn't catch up with Ling Feng at all, and he didn't have enough physical confrontation to give Ling Feng some pressure.
And Flamini had a yellow card, so he was naturally timid in defense, and even more afraid to block Ling Feng's sharp breakthrough.
For a time, Arsenal's defense in the middle was useless!
Just like this, when the game reached the 57th minute, Ling Feng passed Cazorla in the middle and shot directly!
Bang~~~
This time, although the shot was fast, the angle was slightly positive. Cech did not dare to neglect and directly hit it out of the baseline with both palms.
Leicester City, which had been suppressed for nearly sixty minutes, finally got the first corner kick opportunity in the game.
It was using this corner kick that Ling Feng's pass accurately found Blue Fox captain Wes Morgan in the penalty area.
The latter jumped high, got ahead of Koscielny, and flicked the header.
The distance was too close. Even though Cech reacted quickly and slightly touched the ball with his outstretched left hand, he could not stop it from flying into the goal behind him.
In this way, the Blue Fox once again tenaciously equalized the score at home!
After sending out the assist to equalize the score, Ling Feng, who was standing in the corner flag area, immediately turned around, raised his arms, and called on the fans in the stands to give them some support.
“ComeOn!”
"Let me hear your voice!"
Seeing this, the entire King Power Stadium burst into flames.
More than 20,000 home team fans in the stands cheered and attacked the players on both sides of the court.
For a time, the morale of the Blue Fox players was as high as a blazing fire in winter.
The morale of the Arsenal players, which had already been hit hard, was even worse.
Seeing the Blue Fox equalize the score, Wenger spread his hands on the sidelines and frowned.
Perhaps he did not expect that the Blue Fox would even the score so quickly.
For a while, he was a little undecided. He didn't know whether to let the team continue to defend and counterattack, or to continue to strengthen the offense.
The old coach's on-the-spot command has always been criticized.
Hesitant and conservative!
If top coaches such as Ferguson, Heynckes, Mourinho, Guardiola, and Van Gaal have an on-field command grade of A or S, Wenger's on-field command grade is at best B grade!
Flamini had a yellow card on his back, was timid in defense, and Cazorla had no defensive contribution. Coquelin comes on.
This also made the direction of the game gradually escape his control
Just ten minutes later, Ling Feng once again got the opportunity to break through with the ball in the middle.
I saw him advancing directly at speed, making soup, and after easily passing Cazorla, he was already within the range of a long-range shot.
Seeing Ling Feng making a move with his instep and trying to shoot from a long distance, Koscielny's eyes widened and he immediately shouted to Flamini, the last barrier in front of the defense line
"Go up!"
"Don't let him kick up!"
And Flamini didn't care that he still had a yellow card and rushed forward.
However, drawing fouls is not Ling Feng’s purpose!
And just when Flamini pounced on him, Ling Feng faked a real dunk and used a fried meatball to pass him cleanly.
Then, he took advantage of the trend and headed straight towards the hinterland of Arsenal.
At the moment when Koscielny was attracted to grab the ball, Ling Feng shook the inside of his right foot and sent a fatal through ball.
The ball just passed Mertesacker's feet and came to the left side of the penalty area.
And Albrighton, who pushed forward from the left, passed through the ribs of Mertesacker and Bellerin and got the ball!
"Wow!"
"Just the right through ball!"
"Albrighton! Facing the goalkeeper!"
Facing Cech Albrighton, a world-class goalkeeper, was a little nervous. He didn't know whether to push the shot into the far corner or directly explode.
However, a familiar shout made him give up his decision to shoot!
"Mark!!!"
Hearing the shout from the right, Albrighton passed the ball directly with his left foot without any hesitation.
And this pass caught Cech off guard.
Even if he moves sideways for the first time.
But Ling Feng, who had already reached the goal, pushed the ball lightly and sent the ball from Cech's stretched out fingertips into the mostly empty goal!
With the fierce collision between the ball and the net, white ripples rippled.
In an instant, with a "boom", the entire stadium was set on fire again!
