Wenger also looked at the field helplessly. Everyone could see the situation on the field now. Southampton suppressed Arsenal in the midfield. Both of their full-backs reached the midfield, and the two wingers also
Constantly retreating to the midfield to help apply pressure, Arsenal's full-backs and wingers also retreated, but they still couldn't withstand Southampton's pressing and confrontation.
This is a matter of players' hard power. If it doesn't work, it just won't work.
Frimpong cannot compare with a legitimate warrior like Matuidi, and Ramsey is not even as experienced as Schneiderlin - although Schneiderlin has only been a semi-main player in the past two seasons, he
He has played a lot of games, and he has also seen the world in the Europa League.
As for Arteta, his skills may be better than Mkhitaryan's, but his threat to the goal is much lower. Not to mention that he is still a newcomer and the support he receives is not enough.
In this situation where both individuals and the team have an advantage, it is normal for Southampton to gain a comprehensive advantage in the midfield.
Arsenal can only rely on the individual breakthroughs of Arshavin and Walcott on the wings to create some opportunities.
Fortunately for Arshavin, he relied on his speed and skills to constantly suppress Klein. After all, Klein is better at offense than defense. However, Walcott on the other side was very difficult to defend under Blind's defense.
It's strenuous.
Blind's speed is much slower than Walcott's, but as a full-back who is good at defense, he naturally has his own way of dealing with fast players.
Leave space, be ready to fight closely at any time, and do not give the opponent a chance to break through. You can relax a little more when passing the ball...
With this set of rules, it would be really difficult for Walcott to break through, and because the little tiger is fast, he has not honed his skills much. He has not made much progress in recent years. Under Blind's
Under constant surveillance, he quickly fell silent.
The offense on the football field has always been one and the same. When Arsenal's offense encountered huge troubles, Southampton's offense began to perform better and better.
Mkhitaryan's continuous breakthroughs in the midfield made Frimpong anxious. After Mkhitaryan broke through him again, Frimpong couldn't help but knocked him down from the side, and immediately got the referee's whistle.
Got a yellow card...
As a newcomer who received a red card in his first appearance in the Premier League, it is normal for him to be focused on by the referees.
Therefore, the image of the court is also very important. If a player has always defended well and rarely received cards, even if he occasionally gets emotional and makes big moves, he will be let go by the referee. And a famous villain, sometimes even just
If you make a little big move, you will get a card...
Of course, the bad guy can sometimes scare the opponent, or make the referee not want to give him too many cards and affect the flow of the game, which is also beneficial.
In short, various images are actually a consideration.
Bad guys like Keane and Vieira are still top players.
Gentle players such as Klose and Baggio can also become top players.
Frimpong's approach is relatively stupid. After all, his big moves bring no benefits but only disadvantages - this is also the price that young people need to pay on the court.
Wenger shouted twice on the sidelines. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one else available, he would definitely not send Frimpong in this game...
He also knew that Frimpong's previous red card would definitely be magnified in subsequent games.
But there really is no one else available...
Frimpong's foul gave Southampton a free kick 25 meters away from the goal. Although it was not directed at the team, it was still very threatening.
Both Southampton's central defenders rushed forward. Although Jenkinson was not tall, he was still quite active.
Mkhitaryan stood in front of the ball, looked at the crowd in the penalty area, took a run, and kicked off!
A beautiful curve ball, the ball flew straight to the center of the penalty area, and Giroud, who was originally entangled with Mertesacker at the back, had already begun to accelerate towards the center!
Mertesacker wanted to catch up, but was stopped midway by Wundt and was thrown away by Giroud.
Facing the falling ball, Giroud made a domineering dive and bombed!
The ball quickly changed direction and flew diagonally into the front of the goal!
Although Szczesny made a save, he still failed to touch the ball!
After scoring the goal, Giroud jumped up and hugged Mkhitaryan.
"Southampton's two substitutes performed very well! Mkhitaryan passed and shot, and Giroud also scored! Seeing that Vidal and Klose are going to feel the pressure, their substitute performance is also very good.
ah!"
The commentator commented like this, but Vidal and Klose on the bench were shaking their fists.
Southampton's current team atmosphere is indeed good.
Once Ji Ya has the power, it is often better for a club to be centralized without fragmented forces, so naturally there will be less redundant things.
Secondly, Wundt, the captain and locker room leader, is very good at his job. Together with Le Tissier, he does work for the players at every turn.
Thirdly, Noriya has done a good job in rotation. Not to mention that the players are evenly matched. Basically, capable players have their own position. Under such a position, as long as the players accept it, they will naturally be much more harmonious.
"The poor results in the first three rounds of the league did not defeat Southampton. Instead, they defeated Barcelona in the face of adversity, and now they took a two-goal lead over Arsenal in just thirty minutes! What kind of magic does Noriya have? He only uses
After three games, have you already adapted to the Premier League?"
Amid the sighs of the commentator, Arsenal launched a fierce attack after the restart.
In fact, they have no escape route. The results in the first three rounds were so bad that even Wenger's position is somewhat in jeopardy. Arsenal players still respect Wenger very much, although it does not prevent them from having the opportunity to transfer to other teams.
Sometimes, I always leave resolutely...
Arsenal's current problem is that the midfield is not cooperative enough, but the strength of their players on the field is no problem. After a wave of fierce attacks, they finally got a point back before the end of the first half. Walcott crossed in front of the penalty area.
After taking the ball, he took a shot. The ball was blocked by Matuidi, but it rolled to the feet of Van Persie. Van Persie did not stop the ball and hit the goal directly. Navas made a wonderful save. He almost subconsciously reached out to block the ball.
, the blocked ball fell again to the feet of Arshavin, who was moving towards the penalty area. The Russian no longer missed the opportunity, and immediately kicked the ball into the empty goal!
One to two, Arsenal got one point back!
The fans at the Emirates Stadium began to shout loudly, and they saw hope again!
In a series of unlucky times, a slightly lucky goal can sometimes bring a lot of things!
