"Guys, I'm quite satisfied with your performance in the first half." After entering the locker room, George never mentioned the sneak attack by Henry. He praised the players present at the scene as soon as he started. "It's rare to be able to withstand the pressure in the unfavorable situation of conceding a goal first, continue to stick to the established policy and suppress Arsenal with offense, and equalize the score before the end of the first half. Even I can't ask you more."

"Sorry, boss..." Seeing that George had no intention of blaming them, but kept praising them, Ridley King stood up with shame and admitted his mistake to his coach. "When Henry scored a goal, I not only failed to play the role I deserved as the captain, reminding others to be careful of Henry's sneak attack, but also received a yellow card, which brought unnecessary trouble to the team."

"No, Ridley, you did it very correctly at that time." George interrupted Ridley King's speech and said with a smile. "As the leader of the team, you have the obligation to stand up and express your opinion to the referee when there is a controversial penalty on the court. In addition, you don't have to mind that yellow card too much. This is entirely the referee's own problem. What do you know that old and dizzy guy Bennett was thinking about at that time, but he actually gave you a yellow card because of this."

Hearing George's comfort, Ridley King and many Tottenham players couldn't help but feel like they were dying for their confidants. With such a capable and humane boss and head coach leading the team, what else can they say? Doing their best to repay George's trust is the only thing they can do!

It is not surprising that this situation occurs. After all, there are few professional players who have received higher education. People like Redondo who have obtained a bachelor's degree when they were a player can be said to be rare. Most players either drop out of school early or get a high school diploma. This means that even if they get a big contract and become rich, players will easily be moved by some spiritual chicken soup!

The lower the education level, the more likely people are to be influenced by loyalty and emotions in their thinking and behavior. This is what ************* means. Although George did not intend to take advantage of this, as he now shows his support for the players with practical actions, the players will naturally firmly choose to stand in the same trenches with him!

At the same time, in the locker room of the visiting team on the other side, Wenger, who has always been elegant, was rarely angry: "I arranged a defensive counterattack before the game, not a iron barrel formation! Look at your performance in the second half of the first half, if you don't know, I'm afraid you will think we are doing half-court offensive and defensive drills with Tottenham! Think about it yourself, is your performance worthy of the Arsenal jersey you are wearing?!"

Hearing Wenger's words, Reyes, Sigan and others' faces were burning a little. Because they knew clearly that Wenger's words were basically true. Indeed, after relying on Henry's free kick to take the lead, most of them played with the attitude of defending the score of 1-0. Faced with Tottenham's offensive, they were just blindly shrinking their defense line to resist the opponent's attack, completely forgetting that the focus of the defensive counterattack tactics is not to defend to death, but to counterattack after successful defense!

Although Henry kept this in mind and tried very hard to turn the situation around, but with Vieira's clones being unable to do so, Fabregas was powerless, and other teammates were all focusing on the defensive end, King Hebrey was also unable to support him. He could only watch the leading advantage he had finally established was swallowed up by Tottenham, and finally entered the halftime stage with a one-to-one score.

Indeed, our performance after scoring the goal was really too cowardly, not like a team that was determined to win the championship at all. Reyes and others thought in their hearts. After being scolded by Wenge, they also felt that they should be more proactive.

Wenger's speech during the break was indeed very effective. After the second half of the game, Arsenal players changed their passive attacks in the second half of the first half and began to actively compete with Tottenham for the ball on the court. Once the ball was cut off, everyone will counterattack as soon as possible, exerting their technical advantages, and passing the ball to Henry who was cruising in the frontcourt as quickly as possible!

Arsenal's fast counterattack obviously has Wenger's coaching style and imprint. For example, no matter what, they will insist on attacking from the ground, ensuring the accuracy of passing the ball while quickly passing the midfield. In addition, most of the counterattacks are mainly medium and short-distance passes, and there are few cases where players from the backcourt directly pass long passes to Henry.

Unlike Arsenal, which insists on ground attack even when counterattacking, Tottenham's offense appears to be more three-dimensional. Of course, when Campbell is absent due to injury and Arsenal's air defense power is greatly reduced, Tottenham players will naturally be more inclined to use the top three as the end point of the offense.

Since I know that the opponent's air defense is insufficient and I have forwards like Drogba and Klose who are good at aerial operations, why not use their own advantages to attack the weakest point of Arsenal?

Due to the offensive strategy that Tottenham players insisted on, Kloe Toure and Sigan, who served as central defenders, were naturally in trouble. The former was not good at defending such a powerful striker, while the latter was only 1.92 meters tall and 87 kilograms. In front of Drogba, it was no different from a wooden stake, and was repeatedly easily broken through by the opponent!

Wenger, who could not bear it, replaced Sendros with poor performance Sigan in the 60th minute, allowing the strong Swiss player to deal with Drogba. Unfortunately, Sendros, who was only nineteen years old, was obviously not the opponent of the Ivorian Warcraft who had fully matured. Although Sendros performed quite tenaciously and worked hard enough on the court, the huge gap between the two in physical attributes was a gap that the Swiss could not cross!

I hope that Sendros will not be psychologically shady by Drogba like he did in his previous life... Looking at Sendros who was knocked down by Drogba's impact, George could only bless the Swiss in his heart for a moment. After all, the two sides have different positions, and he could not act like a certain player just because he appreciates a certain player.

In the 64th minute, Ronaldo and Alonso played a wall-to-wall-like cooperation on the left. After breaking through the defenses of Vieira and Ashley Cole one after another, the ball was passed to Drogba in the middle. The Ivorians ignored Sendros' defense and forced the ball to turn around in the penalty area, and then used a powerful and heavy shot to penetrate Lehman's ten fingers! Two-to-one!
