Chapter 383
After the start of the second half, Arsenal, who had just equalized the score before the end of the first half, took the lead and launched a fierce attack on Leeds United's goal under the coordination of Fabregas.
Since the emphasis is on attack, it is inevitable that Arsenal's overall formation is pressed higher, and naturally, the two midfielders, Gallas and Flamini, are pressed near the center circle.
Wenger was a little worried at first.
He was afraid that his disciples would press forward and Leeds United would seize the opportunity to make a quick counterattack.
But after playing for a while, Wenger gradually put his mind at ease, and at the same time he was a little disdainful of Li Shiguang's substitution adjustment.
The reason is also very simple.
Leeds United is not without the opportunity to counterattack.
But what is strange is that.
Every time they counterattack, unless Rodriguez runs out of a good space, Leeds United will give the ball to Wang Chu, who has just been substituted.
On the one hand, Wang Chu's position was very deep, and on the other hand, Wenger could see that Wang Chu was not yet very adaptable to the fast pace of the Premier League. As long as the ball reached his feet, Leeds United's counterattack would slow down.
Wang Chu was in a head-on confrontation with Gallas.
Although he could use his skilled dribbling skills to pass Gallas at the first time, his slow speed was a fatal flaw. Before the ball could be taken a few steps forward and other Arsenal players could not be attracted to defend, he would be caught up by Gallas in big strides, and then lost the ball under the pressure of Gallas.
In fact, during the halftime break, Wenger considered the possibility that Li Shiguang would make a move on the wing in the second half, and he was also prepared for Bale or Ribery to be replaced by Li Shiguang.
But now it seems.
Li Shiguang's move was obviously a bad move.
The two front midfielders only had footwork, but their physical confrontation and speed were slightly inferior.
Alves and Sun Jihai, who could participate in the wing attack, were severely suppressed in the backcourt by Hleb and Rosicky.
Even if the ball is passed to the center circle.
No one came up to the wing to cooperate with the two midfielders, so Torres and Ibrahimovic, who were at the front, were just two decorations!
····
"It's as easy to pass you as drinking water, big guy. When you are training, are the young players in your team also like me, able to pass you easily?"
After passing the intercepted ball to Clichy on the wing, Wang Chu's voice once again reached Gala's ears.
And this time, Gala couldn't help it.
He turned his head and stared at Wang Chu, with a hint of anger on his face.
Before, Gala was a little curious. Every time he intercepted the ball from this Chinese boy, he didn't know where this seemingly honest oriental boy got the confidence to always mock him.
If he could ignore the trash talk before.
Then this time, the Chinese boy said that the young people in the Arsenal team could easily pass him, and Gallas, who was supposed to be much calmer after joining Arsenal, couldn't stand it.
Because Gallas didn't have a good relationship with the young people in the team.
Li Shiguang clearly remembered that just two months later, in the crucial match between Arsenal and Birmingham, Eduardo was first broken in the leg by Martin Taylor's flying tackle, and then Birmingham, who faced 10 people, got a penalty kick at the last moment of the game and equalized the score.
After Birmingham equalized the score.
As the captain of Arsenal, Gallas did not convey a positive spirit to his teammates, but ran to the sidelines and kicked the billboard angrily, and was shown a yellow card warning. When the final whistle sounded and the Gunners lost the crucial 2 points, Gallas sat quietly in the field with tears in his eyes.
After this game.
As the captain, Gallas was sprayed by countless fans, saying that he was cowardly and that he was not worthy of being the captain of Arsenal.
The most critical thing is.
Gallas, who was already at the center of the storm, was also very fierce. Later, he directly made the conflicts in the Arsenal locker room public in the media.
This also made Wenger finally unable to tolerate him and revoked Gallas's captaincy!
Li Shiguang believed that although the bombardment of teammates in the media was related to Gallas's character of not caring about the consequences, since he did such a thing, it proved that the conflict between Gallas and his teammates was definitely not a day or two.
So before the game, Li Shiguang specifically told Wang Chu that if the trash talk he said before didn't work, then try to bring out the young people in the Arsenal team to make a fuss.
In Wang Chu's view, the anger on Gallas' face at this time just proved that Li Shiguang was right!
So in the following time.
As long as Wang Chu passed Gallas, he would talk about the young players in the Arsenal team and compare each one with Gallas.As Gallas' anger gradually grew, his defensive moves became more and more aggressive.
Just a minute ago.
Gallas could have used his body to push Wang Chu away in defense, but he inexplicably chose to make a tackle.
Although this stopped Leeds United's quick counterattack, it also earned him a yellow card!
····
Watching Gallas walk away with a cold face after being shown a yellow card by the referee, Li Shiguang's mouth curled up into a sly smile.
He knew that Gallas had been angered by Wang Chu.
Next, all it took was an opportunity.
Maybe Leeds United could completely tear a hole from Gallas.
····
The game came to the 72nd minute.
The score on the field was still 1:1.
Judging from the data alone, Arsenal still had some advantages.
"The second half has been going on for almost half an hour. Doesn't Li plan to make some adjustments? In the past twenty minutes, Arsenal has had eight shooting opportunities, while Leeds United has only three!" Lineker said indignantly.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that the adjustment he was talking about was to let Wang Chu, who was performing mediocre, move his position.
Ron obviously observed more carefully. In the picture that just flashed by, he saw other Leeds United players warming up on the sidelines: "Don't panic, Bale, Ribery and De Bruyne are already warming up. Believe in Li, he must have found that this set of rules doesn't work for Arsenal now!"
Just as the two commentators were discussing the possible adjustments that Li Shiguang might make.
Adebayor's volley missed the post.
The attacking and defending sides exchanged positions.
Leeds United began to organize a new round of attack!
