"Arsenal's control over the game is too strong! After entering the second half, Flamengo made some adjustments. They wanted a more stable midfield, so the strikers began to retreat to receive the ball. But even so, Arsenal was still able to take advantage of the position and stand in the main position without giving Flamengo any space to pass the ball!"
After entering the second half, Flamengo's desire to attack was very strong.
They always want to rely on running to open up gaps, but this simple running method is simply seen through in a second for Arsenal.
For this reason, Arsenal did not give them the opportunity to pass the ball at all.
Even if Flamengo forced the ball, Arsenal controlled their most threatening players and compressed the activity space in the frontcourt to stabilize the defense.
Mourinho's team is known for its defense, but watching Arsenal's team cooperation that does not give any chances at all and is like a robot, any opponent will feel deeply powerless.
Just like Flamengo at this time.
Their attack could not go up, and even if they did, they could not shoot.
They always felt that something was broken in the middle, but they could not figure out what it was.
They played well in the league, but why couldn't they play well against Arsenal?
"Flamengo's tactical system is too simple!"
Arteta gave the answer.
"We are very familiar with this kind of passing and controlling tactics. Compared with Manchester City's various offensive systems, Flamengo is too monotonous!"
"Of course, Flamengo also has several good players, but they don't understand and execute the tactics well, not to mention other players."
"We know this tactic very well, so we also know how to contain it."
At this point, Arteta shook his head and said, "So why should we imitate European tactics? Isn't it good to play their original style?"
In Arteta's view, Brazil's playing style is still very entertaining.
And when facing European teams, the display of extreme personal ability can often play a very good effect.
Europe is a modern tactic, but it does not mean that the Brazilian style should be replaced.
Mourinho looked at the court and said calmly: "They are autonomous evolution, in fact, this is also irreversible."
"As a Brazilian player, their biggest dream is to go to Europe to play football and make a lot of money!"
"So, how to adapt to the European style of play and how to quickly gain a foothold in Europe have become their goals. In this case, they will also systematically learn European tactics, and eventually evolve into this situation!"
In Mourinho's view, this is simply a natural evolution process.
If the ultimate goal remains unchanged, then the Brazilian style will not survive.
After all, the current form of football is very certain.
The five major leagues represented by Europe are the world's top, and how many players around the world are trying to squeeze in.
Adapt to the European style faster!
Get better performance!
This has become their goal, which is also the reason why the Brazilian style is gradually replaced.
Flamengo's situation at this time has fallen into a very passive state.
Tactically restrained, individual breakthroughs cannot achieve results, and morale is even more depressed.
On the other hand, Arsenal played steadily and advanced step by step.
Arsenal was not in a hurry at all. They were already one goal ahead and had an advantage on the field.
Especially with the excellent performance of the back line, the offensive players had no pressure at all.
In this situation and mentality, Arsenal was more and more relaxed.
"Why do I feel that Arsenal played more compactly than before?"
Richard frowned and said.
In the previous game, Arsenal was indeed very strong, but always gave people a loose feeling.
But after losing to Manchester City, the overall situation was reflected.
"So, losing is not necessarily a bad thing!"
Andy Gray also shook his head.
He began to look forward to how well Arsenal would perform when they returned to the Premier League and the Champions League after the Club World Cup.
In the field, Arsenal pressed forward step by step.
Lucky and Eriksson became the mainstay of Arsenal's midfield.
Both of them have excellent passing ability and can create offensive opportunities.
With the continuous transfer, Flamengo's defense began to become gradually panicked.
In the 79th minute, Eriksson suddenly passed the ball back.
Flamengo thought Arsenal was going to slow down the pace, which also made them feel relieved. After all, Arsenal had put too much pressure on them before.
But facing the return pass, Lekai suddenly kicked the ball to the front court.
A sudden change in rhythm caught Flamengo off guard.
The ball crossed the midfield line and flew directly in front of Giroud in the front court.
Giroud carried the opponent's central defender and passed the ball to the back.
Mane quickly moved forward and instantly formed a situation facing the goal.
"Danger!"
The Qatari commentator also exclaimed.
The Arsenal fans at the scene burst into cheers of expectation.
The Flamengo defenders rushed towards Mane fiercely, trying to cut off the ball.
But the next second, Mane actually passed the ball to the other side.
After Saka made a forward run, he easily scored without being marked.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!
!
!"
"Goal!
Another goal!"
"Arsenal's second goal, an attack driven by a wonderful change of rhythm, was also launched by Eriksson and Kai, and the Gunners also understood and cooperated tacitly, breaking Flamengo's goal again!"
"Currently Arsenal is leading by two goals and is in control of the situation of the game. From the current situation, it is very difficult for Flamengo to turn the situation around."
The Qatar commentator shook his head, his words were a little euphemistic, in order to estimate the feelings of Flamengo fans.
In fact, he thought Flamengo had basically no chance.
Just like Monterrey in the semi-finals, Flamengo was also unable to launch an effective attack when facing Arsenal, a world-class club.
I guess they want to see Arsenal get into a panic, or even score.
This requires the giants in Europe to accomplish.
After the second goal, Arsenal began to make substitutions.
Mourinho used up two substitutions at once.
Saka and Hummels left the field.
Odegaard and De Ligt came on the field.
Two young players came on the field, which allowed them to feel the moment of winning the championship.
This is also the operation that Mourinho hopes these young players can have more recognition of Arsenal.
Although there is little time left to play, the two are still actively running and completing their tasks.
Flamengo's state has reached a low point at this time.
They can't even have the confidence to counterattack!
From the beginning of the game to now, they have been in a state of suppression.
They didn't even have an easy pass and a decent attack.
This situation is a huge blow to the players.
Even Flamengo's coach Jesus kept shaking his head in front of the camera.
Obviously, even Jesus, he thought that the game had no suspense.
In the injury time, both sides used up the last substitution quota.
For Arsenal, they are very close to the championship.
The referee began to look down at the time on his wrist, which made Flamengo's players even more frustrated.
The Arsenal players were full of morale, but they did not attack. Instead, they stabilized the situation and waited for the end of the game to usher in the moment of the championship.
Finally, 90 minutes + injury time ended.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Three whistles.
The 2019 Club World Cup ended.
As usual, Arsenal, as the Champions League champion, won the Club World Cup this year.
This is also their third championship this season!
Halfway through the season, Arsenal has already won three championships, which is a huge encouragement for them and their morale.
Of course, they will not take it lightly.
After all, there are still the League Cup, FA Cup, League and Champions League in the future for them to fight for.
For Arsenal now, their goal is not just these simple championships.
But to win the league title again! Win the Champions League again!
They want to be the most dominant team!
They want to win all the championships!
Sweep across Europe!
