"Harry Kane! Shoot directly! Ah~~~ a little bit off!"

Sun Xingmin passed the ball into the penalty area, and Harry Kane completed the shot, but the shot was a little off and flew out of the goal post.

"Tottenham has been in excellent form against Arsenal in recent seasons, and this time the attack is also the same. The continuous transmission and cooperation on the wing opened a gap. Sun Xingmin cleverly inserted the ball into the penalty area, and Harry Kane also shot under the interference of Hummels!"

Zhan Jun shook his head and sighed; "Tottenham's form is back!"

Compared to the previous few games, Tottenham's ups and downs, their performance in this game can be said to be extremely exciting.

Even though they had won before, they did not pass the ball tacitly and shoot decisively in this game.

Spurs' shot failed, but it still made Arsenal extremely vigilant.

"These guys feel in good shape!"

Wilshere looked solemn.

Tottenham has been a big enemy in the league in recent seasons, but their biggest problem is their fluctuating state.

It’s just that every time Tottenham plays Arsenal, their state is at its best.

This is also a depressing thing.

They are just like that when they play against other teams, but they are like chicken blood when they play against Arsenal.

Maybe there is really a so-called derby state bonus!

Of course, Tottenham is in good shape, and so is Arsenal, or in other words, Arsenal’s state has always been online.

Although Tottenham has completed several wonderful breakthrough shots, and Arsenal has also made several decisive defensive counterattacks.

It’s just that neither side has seized the opportunity to score.

“Giroud’s state is still very good. His arrival has created a richer offensive method for Arsenal. Every time Giroud retreats, Tottenham’s defense line will make corresponding changes, which helps Arsenal’s offense to provide a variety of options!”

Giroud’s retreat helped Arsenal open up a stronger offensive capability on both sides.

Because of Giroud’s presence, Mane and Aubameyang performed better in the game.

The most important thing is that the defensive strength against Arsenal's flanks is compensated by the middle, and finally the full combat power of the flanks is liberated.

Not only the flanks, but also Wilshere's occasional forward runs need to be guarded against.

Although Tottenham also plays the center forward to retreat, Pochettino is even slightly behind Mourinho in the development of this tactic.

The latter's use of Giroud and the increase in the team's performance are greater.

The game starts again!

Arsenal directly kicked the ball.

Lucky rushed to the center circle to respond.

Sure enough, Wilshere and the opponent's midfielder competed for the header, and the latter headed the ball to Arsenal's half.

Lucky and Ali ran to the landing point at the same time. Lucky's reaction and speed were faster. Before Ali could gain a foothold, Lucky pushed the opponent away and completely controlled the ball.

"Damn it!"

Ali couldn't help but curse in his heart.

He didn't like physical confrontation, especially with Lucky, who was completely not in the same league.

Lucky is very good at using his body, but Ali is not good enough in front of Lucky.

After Lucky controlled the ball, he turned and passed it to the back.

On the one hand, it is to stabilize the rhythm, and on the other hand, Tottenham's retreat speed is too fast. Even if they launch an attack, they can't form a number difference in the end.

This is not a good time to attack.

With Lucky's return pass, Tottenham's retreating players also ran into Arsenal's half to press fiercely.

High-position pressing has become one of the current mainstream tactics.

Both Tottenham and Arsenal are taking advantage of this.

Anyway, never let the opponent hold the ball easily, this is the main football concept in Europe at present.

Always exert pressure and let the opponent know that you are pressing at all times.

And this tactic will inevitably lead to a faster rhythm.

Arsenal almost touches the ball with one foot in their own half, and dare not stop at all.

As long as there is a small pause, the opponent can kill in front of them.

Fortunately, Arsenal has a good foundation for passing and controlling, so their one-touch ball is very stable.

During the continuous transmission process, the ball was also transferred left and right, constantly trying to tear Tottenham's defense.

Wilshere became the fulcrum of Arsenal's frontcourt.

As long as the opponent's defense was torn open, Arsenal could immediately launch an attack.

Luka transferred the ball to Kante and immediately looked up at the opponent's half.

Tottenham's position was still relatively dense. Although Arsenal always used breakthroughs on the wing, Tottenham's defense of Arsenal's central axis was still not relaxed.

This was a correct choice.

After all, Arsenal's offense comes from the principle of ball distribution from the central axis. In theory, as long as the central axis is strangled, Arsenal's offense will be cracked.

But this is only a theory. After all, it is not so easy to restrict and strangle.

Unless Giroud's legs are tied up!

At this time, Giroud began to move.

And Arsenal as a whole began to move forward, the midfielder even appeared in the opponent's half, and even the central defender pressed near the center line.

Arsenal's overall vertical line seemed to be flattened, which shortened the distance between their center forward and center back. Combined with the center forward's retreat, the center back could even pass the ball directly to the center forward.

Pochettino narrowed his eyes slightly on the sidelines.

He felt a little annoyed about Arsenal's center forward's retreat tactics. Although these were of great reference value to him, he still felt annoyed.

Just like the previous connection between the defensive midfielder and the center forward, Tottenham's defense was turbulent for a while.

And now it's not just the defensive midfielder, even the central defender is eager to move.

Last time it was the defensive midfielder, now it's the central defender, should we use a goalkeeper to pass the ball in the future?

Pochettino thought of these, and Tottenham players naturally thought of these.

They were alert to Arsenal's passing while defending cautiously.

Try to keep the defense in a stable state.

But this is not up to them. The Gunners in front of them are using repeated runs to slowly tear their defense.

And all they can do is maintain.

"Faster!"

"They can't hold on for long!"

"Keep going!"

"Pass it to me!"

Arsenal players saw Tottenham's aimless pressing and suddenly felt that the time was ripe, and they couldn't help but add more pressure.

Arsenal's rich offensive routines made Tottenham feel more and more uncomfortable.

But soon, they felt painful.

Wilshere and Luka suddenly appeared in the rib area on both sides of Tottenham.

Arsenal's offense became five offensive routes.

If Arsenal had three offensive routes before, left-center-right, then the area where Wilshere and Luka stood added two offensive routes for Arsenal.

In the end, it became left-left rib-center-right rib-right!

Although it was shortened horizontally, it also increased the offensive routes, causing the Tottenham defenders to dare not act rashly.

They knew very well that as long as any of their defenders had a gap behind them, Arsenal could immediately take action.

At this time, Tottenham became extremely tormented.

Even the forwards had to retreat to defend.

Luka watched Arsenal fail to open the situation, and Tottenham's forwards retreated, considering whether to retreat and reorganize.

Although it was a pity to give up, it was not an easy thing for Arsenal to launch an attack with such a dense personnel.

Just as Lucky was thinking this, Giroud suddenly retreated.

It seemed as if he was saying to try again.

Seeing Giroud's retreat, Lucky and Wilshere immediately ran to the flank area, ready to advance!

At this time, Giroud received the ball and suddenly passed it to Lucky.

This pass was very sudden and unexpected.

Logically, Giroud should pass to the two flanks, but he passed it to Lucky in the flank area.

Lucky stopped his forward steps and stopped the ball.

In a flash, Lucky's brain was also working rapidly.

Giroud obviously wanted him to pass the ball. At first, Lucky wanted to pass it to the flank, which was also Arsenal's offensive routine.

But the two full-backs of the opponent had begun to approach Arsenal's wingers.

Although rash passing would not result in the ball being intercepted, it would definitely be restricted by the opponent in the first time.

There is still a chance, Lucky saw another gap.

The gap pulled out when Giroud retreated.

This gap has the possibility of being used.

It just requires some luck
