The same problem still plagues Wenger and Allardyce, but Wenger's problem is more long-term.
And Allardyce was imminent. Entering the locker room, Allardyce looked at his defensive players with a livid face, but there was nothing he could do about it. The gap in strength, but Allardyce's spirit towards his players.
He was very dissatisfied with the state. In the second half of the first half, his team obviously lost its former fierceness. This was what made him most angry.
"I don't know what's wrong with you, and I don't want to know. I'm just telling you now that I don't want to lose to that French guy. The fans don't want the Arsenal players to leave us with a smile, and the club doesn't want to spend money to get something.
This is a game without fighting spirit. I want you to use your bodies to tear them apart like before, understand?" He roared out the last words.
Bolton's team members were startled and responded quickly: "I understand."
"Well, in the second half, you have to seize the starting point of Xiao and Henry. Most of Arsenal's offense is launched by these two, so you just need to pinch them two. You know.
?~~~~." Allardyce then explained the arrangements for the second half.
Wenger simply emphasized defense, requiring the players to pay attention to each other's surroundings when defending, and asking the players not to easily set the ball for the opponent. However, he did not give so many instructions to the offensive players and just asked them to fight each other.
Just pay attention to the location and you'll be fine.
Soon the second half of the game started. Xiao Ge noticed that Bolton's players were obviously much more energetic than when they came off the field. Seeing that the looks in his and Henry's eyes became fierce, he knew that they would definitely have to focus on taking care of themselves later.
.
Sure enough, after the restart, Bolton's players clearly tightened their restrictions on receiving and delivering the ball, making constant small movements and constant physical contact. The Arsenal players were obviously helpless about Bolton's move. Every time they faced Bolton, they
Here's the trick: If you can't do it with technique, let's do it with body. You're not good at this, right?
Bolton used their English football style of collision to force the Arsenal players to delay the ball, making it impossible for the opponent to open up space, muddying the waters and making you dirty.
In this way, the game suddenly fell into a state of anxiety, with various kicks and pulls happening one after another, especially Xiao Ge and Henry. They had the opportunity to hold half of their bodies to get the ball, but the referee's penalty standards were not high.
, then it depends on who makes the mistake first.
Faced with this situation, Wenger shook his head helplessly, just hoping that his team could take the lead in opening up the situation.
This is why Wenger uses the tactic of three forwards. As long as he is ahead, Bolton's style of play will collapse immediately. After all, such a high-intensity defense requires extremely high physical fitness and consciousness. If it is broken at one point, then the next one will be broken.
It's easy to focus on one thing and lose the other. It's easy against a team with super offensive power like Arsenal. After all, not everyone is Mourinho.
Wenger lamented that his team was unlucky in the first half. If they had taken the lead early, Arsenal would have won the game long ago.
"Hey, it would be great if Arsenal scored a goal at this time." Matthew said with emotion when he saw the game screen.
"Haha, as long as Arsenal can survive this period, Bolton will be uncomfortable next." Based on the analysis of the strength of the two teams, Adams determined that Arsenal is likely to win the game.
After withstanding Bolton's onslaught, Arsenal finally showed the power of their attack.
After guarding Xiao Ge for nearly seventy minutes, Faye finally couldn't hold on any longer. Looking at the relaxed-looking team member in front of him, his heart was filled with bitterness, "What kind of monster is this? His physical fitness is the same among the team's."
The one who is one of the best is about to be dragged to death by him." Barely breathing, he saw the ball coming to Xiao Ge and had to hold him.
But at this time, Faye's physical fitness could no longer keep up with Xiao Ge. Xiao Ge squeezed his body and immediately knocked the nearly 90 kilogram big man away. He easily unloaded the ball and rushed towards the opponent's half like lightning.
De had already caught up with him at a rapid pace, and Gardner was retreating while blocking, blocking the inside line and allowing Xiao Ge to lead him out.
Xiao Ge saw Gardner's actions and sneered. He increased his speed and quickly closed the distance between the two. Gardner was shocked: it was too fast. He subconsciously grabbed the opponent.
Xiao Ge was waiting. The moment he stepped forward to grab the ball, the ball was pushed to the outside of him. Then he twisted his body and the ball passed by, breaking through Gardner's defense in an instant.
When Allardyce saw Xiao Ge breaking through the defense line, he cursed: "**" and looked at Xiao Ge nervously.
At this time, Arsenal had already pressed forward with troops. Players from Arsenal and Bolton rushed into the penalty area. When Xiao Ge saw the figure in the penalty area, Xiao Ge cleverly moved into the penalty area.
Immediately, Bolton's players stepped forward to block the ball, while several Arsenal players had already rushed into the penalty area, ready to respond at any time. For a while, the area around the penalty area became a mess.
Xiao Ge suddenly stopped while walking, then turned his body sideways and made a move with his right foot to shoot. Bolton's players quickly blocked Xiao Ge's shooting route.
But Xiao Ge just made a gentle push, and a very fast figure inserted from Xiao Ge's left path and quickly intercepted the ball. The figure's explosive speed did not give Bolton's defender any chance to kill directly.
He entered the penalty area near the 7-yard mark, and immediately followed with a shot that passed the attacking goalkeeper and fell into the corner of the net.
"gooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~l, Ferey, Ferey gave us the lead, he scored the third goal, a beautiful assist, Xiao's actions deceived everyone, but Ferey closed
Here we go, a smart shot and we are ahead!!!" Senk's voice finally drowned out the boos from the audience and echoed over the Reebok Stadium.
"Thank you, Xiao." Ljungberg scored the goal and came over excitedly to hug Xiao Ge and thank him for finding the state of the game for him.
"Haha"~~~~, the Arsenal players celebrated together, finally able to take down this candy.
After Wenger saw this goal, he could finally relax a little, so that the next game would be easier to play.
And Allardyce's face became a little ugly. There were only about twenty minutes left. Let alone attack. With Arsenal's current offensive momentum, Arsenal was very likely to score again. Faye had to change.
After coming down, Allardyce quickly motioned for Jady to warm up.
Arsenal then relied on this momentum to suppress Bolton, continuously breaking through the opponent's defense and constantly creating corner kicks, but unfortunately they failed to score.
After about seven or eight minutes of the game, an accident completely changed the game. When Faye received a pass from Nolan in the midfield, he fought with Silva behind him and fell to the ground.
The referee immediately stopped the game and took the cards from his jacket pocket.
This penalty immediately caused dissatisfaction among the Arsenal players, who gathered around the referee to explain.
Silva was stunned and quickly explained: "I didn't pull him, he fell down on his own."
"Referee, this is not a foul by Silva. It is just a normal fighting action. It will not be a card." Henry also came over quickly to plead for mercy, because Silva had already received a yellow card before, which meant that he would not be given a card again.
If you eat one, you will be fined.
The referee blew the whistle and made a hand gesture to signal Silva to pull Faye to the ground. There was no change.
Instead, he issued a yellow card, then took out a red card from his pants pocket and sent Silva off.
In this way, Arsenal lost one player within fifteen minutes, and the game became more subtle. It would have been okay if the forward was missing at this time, but Silva was the only barrier in Arsenal's midfield, so Arsenal was hanging on.
Allardyce almost jumped up in excitement. He didn't expect that he was going to replace Faye, but he didn't expect that he would bring him this great gift. Was this a 'waste' use?
"Oh, **, did the referee not wear contact lenses? He couldn't see it. Faye fell down because he didn't have enough strength."
"**, the Football Association is raising some rubbish."~~~~~Arsenal fans gave up. In a corner, they booed non-stop and pointed their middle fingers at the referee.
No matter what, the game continued. Next, it was Bolton's turn to attack. Wenger had to send on Ebra to replace Van Persie. Arsenal was suddenly reduced to their own half.
"Davis went in, oh, s**t, damn, it was close."
"Lyman, Lehmann saved the team again. He blocked Nolan's long shot." ~~~~~~The two voices competed hoarsely at the last moment until the 86th minute of the game.
"No foul, oh, **, it's another free kick." Senk raised his middle finger to the referee in private, nervously looking at the wall in the penalty area, hoping that it could block it or that the free kick would be missed.
"Nolan ran up and hit the goal~~~~~, goooooo~~~~~l, Nolan, Nolan saved the team, he scored a wonderful free kick goal, so beautiful, so beautiful
." Jon, with an excited look on his face, hugged Senke who turned his head away with a look of hatred, depression and unwillingness. The scene was strange and abnormal.
