The next moment, the two collided violently in the air.
Then Adebayor and Pepe were shocked at the same time. The difference was that Adebayor's body leaned back slightly and lost his balance in the air, while Pepe could barely maintain his balance, and then he fell towards the ground. The ball came down and was pushed far out of the penalty area!
In this confrontation, Pepe wins!
Adebayor staggered twice after landing, but what was more shaken than his body was his self-confidence - in this attack just now, he had every advantage, whether it was the height of the cross, In terms of sprinting distance, he should be able to have more advantages than Pepe, but Pepe, who was at a disadvantage, defeated him in jumping and confrontation. If the confrontation was under completely equal conditions, then how could he? Wouldn't it be a worse loss?
Adebayor looked at Pepe, trying to find out the answer from his expression. However, this time Pepe did not say a few words after each confrontation like he did in the first half. He ran directly out of the penalty area. , preparing for the next defense.
Reluctantly, Adebayor also withdrew from the penalty area. If he didn't withdraw, he would be in an offside position.
Wenger also saw this scene off the court, but after all, he had not experienced it personally, and he did not think of anything else. In such a confrontation, the defensive side always has to take advantage, and a victory is nothing - forward attack Ten times, if you seize an opportunity, you are a hero; if a defender defends ten times, if you make a mistake and lose the ball once, you are a bear!
?Originally, offense and defense are confrontations in which the attacking side looks for opportunities in failure!
Therefore, Arsenal¡¯s established offensive direction will not change, and neither will their offensive tactics.
Pepe's ball was intercepted by Flamini, and then quickly passed to Fabregas. Fabregas saw Eboue on the left and was about to move forward, and immediately sent it to him. An overhead kick!
The ball landed accurately at Eboue's feet. Maicon quickly turned around and ran back but was unable to stop him from getting down. Seeing this scene, Adebayor also quickly turned around and ran towards the penalty area - at this time Pepe If he didn't track back, he would have been able to score unguarded, as long as he didn't get in front of Eboue.
Pepe naturally turned around quickly to follow. The two of them ran towards the penalty area while violently colliding with each other. The more they collided, the more frightened Adebayor was. He had worked very hard, but every time In each collision, Pepe was always able to knock him further, making it more difficult for him to control his center of gravity
"Holy crap, did this bastard take some medicine during halftime? Why is he suddenly so much stronger!"
When Adebayor had this thought in his mind, Pepe had already taken the opportunity to slow down Adebayor's forward momentum during the collision, and then quickly moved forward to defend and passed Eboue's pass to the ground. Got out of the siege midway!
Second victory!
Next, Adebayor, who did not believe in evil, confronted Pepe several times in a row. Arsenal's crazy offense and constant firepower provided him with many opportunities. However, every time he was defeated by Pepe using his strength, Suppressed by their speed and jumping ability, Arsenal's wings provided Adebayor with no less than five or six crosses. However, Adebayor only got the first shot once, and that time it was with Pepe. Due to interference, the ball was directly lifted over the crossbar
Watching Wenger off the field, he slowly felt something was wrong. It was normal for him to miss once or twice. It had been nearly 20 minutes of offense now, and Adebayor only took six or seven good cross opportunities. The landing point is still so high? This is not normal
Is Adebayor¡¯s condition suddenly declining? Impossible, he is still running so actively, and his confrontation ability does not seem to have declined. It is not that his performance has declined, but that the performance of the opponent's defender has suddenly improved!
This kind of thing is so strange
While Wenger was frowning and thinking hard off the court, Adebayor was about to collapse on the court. He couldn't figure out why the opponent he had repeatedly suppressed in the first half suddenly reversed in terms of strength and speed. After suppressing himself, he finally lost his mind in this situation. After Pepe once again forced him to make a clearance, Adebayor, who landed on the ground, couldn't help but pointed at Pepe and yelled: "Asshole! How did your strength suddenly increase so much? You must have taken banned substances during halftime! I will complain to you after the game and suspend you!"
"Idiot." Pepe never thought that Adeba would have such an idea. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, you can complain to me I was just teasing you in the first half. , you actually thought of thatwhat a weak and pitiful guy."
"Why do you deal with this loser? If he complains, I will?You go to the drug test together! Those who have never seen the world don¡¯t know how powerful we are, right? Drogba may not be able to knock you over, let alone him. "Matthias patted Pepe behind him, said a few words, then turned and walked away.
When Adebayor heard these words, he finally sobered up a little - no matter how arrogant he was, he would not think that his ability to fight was better than Drogba. You must know that he is Senderos's Teammate, but I know how Senderos was directly destroyed by Drogba in the game, and all his self-confidence was destroyed. Matias was also a teammate of that monster. He said that Drogba may not be able to defeat him in terms of strength. Pepe, in this case, how can he surpass Pepe in strength?
Sure enough, did the people in the first half just teased themselves? These bastards actually look down on me so much!
When Adebayor was severely hit, Wenger finally figured out the reason - of course he didn't think that Mallorca's defender had used doping. You know that Mallorca's results have been so good in the past few years, naturally It will also arouse the suspicion of many people. After every European game, players in Mallorca will be randomly checked for urine tests. However, Mallorca has never had this problem, since it is impossible for any player to be in the first and second half of the game. The confrontational ability displayed is so different between the two, then it must be that they hid their strength in the first half! It is actually not difficult to hide the strength in this kind of confrontation. It is enough not to use too much force during the confrontation. As long as you can control the intensity of your confrontation, you can do it.
"This guy is indeed a talented coach with such excellent overall tactics and on-the-spot command skills!"
Wenger did not expect that this was a spontaneous act by the two Mallorca central defenders, but directly thought that this was Jose's tactical arrangement - this is the additional effect brought by a person's fame. You are obviously It was a meaningless approach, but it was considered to be a well-thought-out arrangement.
Now it¡¯s Wenger¡¯s turn to suffer ¨C what should he do? Replace Adebayor, whose confidence has obviously been hit? But will that affect the top scorer's self-confidence? Or replace Bendtner to help Adebayor? But if Eduardo is replaced, Matias will be able to defend Bendtner naturally. Pepe can target Adebayor. Matias, who is better than him, will have to focus on Bendtner. Isn't it easier for Adebayor to be a little worse than Bendtner?
How should we strengthen our offense
Just when Wenger was in great pain and conflict, Mallorca's counterattack worked again!
Alonso's pass fell directly to Kak¨¢'s feet. Kak¨¢ started. Flamini immediately pounced in to block Kak¨¢'s quick counterattack. However, Kak¨¢ did not take the ball, but passed the ball. It was handed directly to Henry, who was receiving the ball from the wing. Henry started to dribble the ball along the wing, and then suddenly transferred the ball directly into the penalty area. Ballack broke into the penalty area and stopped the ball on his chest, and then Senderos and Gala were behind him. When he rushed forward recklessly, he turned his back to the goal and flicked the ball with his left foot, knocking the ball out horizontally!
Klose on the right received the ball unguarded. Although the angle was already very small, facing compatriot Lehmann who was attacking, Klose calmly pushed the ball into the far corner with his left foot, and the ball returned to defense. Sagna's flying tackle flew in front of his feet and then flew into the Arsenal gate!
Two to zero! Mallorca scored a goal that was enough to make Arsenal desperate!
In the first home game, we fell behind by two goals. In addition, the previous main players were injured repeatedly. This kind of damage to morale was extremely huge.
If Arsenal were an experienced team, they might be able to muster the courage to fight. However, Arsenal are too young now. The average age of the players on the field, including Lehmann, is only just now. After the age of twenty-five, if you take away the two veterans Lehmann and Toure, this is a football team participating in the Olympics-the under-twenty-three-year-old team.
Being young means being motivated, but in the case of a headwind, it is difficult for them to stabilize their mentality and continue to perform well - teams dominated by young players are often defeated. If a mature team also When a defeat occurs, it is often not a psychological problem but a physical problem - for example, a situation where you have been overwhelmed by your opponent and cannot run away even if you want to.
Arsenal's players can still run, but their confidence has begun to completely decline.
Wenger was quite decisive at this time - if he didn't make adjustments, the entire two rounds of the game would not have been played - he could not care about Adebayor's mood at this time, and he immediately changed the The two of them first replaced Eboue with Walcott to increase the offensive power on the wing, and then replaced Adebayor with Bendtner, who had been greatly psychologically affected, in an attempt to continue.The possession can be restored in the next game.
Adebayor came off the field in a state of despair. Wenger patted him on the back and said, "Don't blame yourself This must have been all arranged by Jose. Even I was fooled They just let you in." In the first half, I thought I could suppress Pepe with my strength, and then let us fall into a trap. This is not your fault, I am also responsible."
Adebayor nodded, and then returned to his position. Wenger thought he had figured it out, so he nodded and concentrated on the game on the court.
What Wenger didn¡¯t know was that Adebayor¡¯s thought at this time was, ¡°Even the coach didn¡¯t see the opponent¡¯s conspiracy. This team really has no future¡±
After Pepe suffered a serious setback, Adebayor instinctively began to shirk responsibility, thinking that it was not his poor performance, but the head coach who was deceived by the other coach, that caused him to suffer such a big setback¡ª¡ª If Wenger knew what he was thinking now, he would be so angry that he would fall head over heels.
However, Wenger will not take into account Adebayor's mood at this time. He is just paying attention to the situation on the court carefully, hoping that the team can get one or two goals back in the next time. Of course, if It would be even better if he could overtake the score - now that he has used up all three substitutions, he can no longer control what happens next.
