My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 152 Four consecutive victories

Arsenal quickly took a [-]-[-] lead.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce was scratching his head crazily on the sidelines. The entire West Ham fans were singing loudly for their team, but this sounded like a humiliation to Allardyce.

It's not like he hasn't studied Arsenal's games. In the Premier League, any team's sudden rise in status is closely related to the team's tactical advantage. Arsenal's three consecutive victories have attracted the attention of every Premier League team. .

Allardyce has naturally observed Arsenal's way of playing. He realized that Arsenal would increase the pace on both offense and defense. They would launch a high press at the front of their penalty area. Their defense would retreat very quickly, even if Even forwards will retreat to a defensive position without any hesitation when defending.

In addition, Arsenal's attack gave Allardyce a sense of powerlessness.

He dared not give Arsenal almost any space. This team's attack seemed to have regained its former feel, with Santi Cazorla, an excellent dribbler, as the hub and other players surrounding him at West Ham. Running around in the defense zone, constantly looking for opportunities.

Yes, Arsenal's system is not without its weaknesses - Allardyce discovered that Cazorla is not good at sending wonderful mid-range passes. His vision has certain limitations, and he can only Look for short passing coordination.

But Jorginho behind Cazorla partially made up for this disadvantage. When Cazorla found that the space for him to seek group cooperation was locked, he would turn around and find Jorginho.

Jorginho, who is positioned further back, is much less pressed than Cazorla. He is a very smart player and knows where to move the ball.

Therefore, as the second hub of the team's offensive organization, Arsenal can quickly burn the flames of war to the other side of West Ham United's defense.

In the 309th minute, West Ham United, which had struggled to hold on for the first half, was once again attacked by Arsenal into the penalty area.

Allardyce secretly complained that Arsenal's attack this time was a pattern he had already seen.

Cazorla received the ball in the left rib, seeking group cooperation with Giroud and Griezmann.

However, West Ham United defended this area tightly, and Allardyce asked his players to move horizontally to which side Cazorla received the ball.

The space on the left side of West Ham United was locked. Cazorla did not choose to break through when double-teamed by two players. Instead, he danced in a circle and got rid of the two defensive players following him. , gave the ball back to Arteta.

Arteta immediately crossed the ball to Jorginho. Jorginho had already observed the situation and passed the ball forward from the mid-range, over the head of the West Ham full-back and to the feet of Walcott.

Walcott cut inside the unguarded area, entered the penalty area, faced the West Ham goalkeeper, and kicked the ball towards the goal.

His shot accurately rolled into the dead center of the goal, and Arsenal led [-]-[-].

Allardyce hid his face and sighed. He looked up at Arsenal's coaching bench and found that several Arsenal coaches looked stern, as if they were lagging behind.

At this time, the Arsenal coaching bench.

"Coach, do we have to look so serious?" Lillo asked.

"I am tired." Dennis Bergkamp's dark circles were thick. "You know, I don't fly. In order to rush back to London within 48 hours to participate in the game, I didn't sleep for a few hours."

"Dennis, you really don't want to see a psychiatrist?" Chen Yao sighed helplessly.

"Definitely not." Bergkamp's eyes were bright.

"Okay." Chen Yao waved his hand, "We can relax after this game. The target Tim gave me has finally been completed."

He paused and cursed lightly.

“What a damn job.”

"But it's also very charming, isn't it?" Bergkamp patted the head coach on the shoulder with dark circles under his eyes.

……

The second half left the West Ham crowd drowsy.

Allardyce seemed determined not to let Arsenal score any more goals.
In recent games, Arsenal's opponents have tried to prove that they have the ability to fight against their opponents at the beginning of the game, but they have also given up the idea of ​​attacking after 45 minutes of the game. Instead, they have defended tightly and tried to make the goalkeeper less capable. Be a little tortured.West Ham United's formation shrunk across the board. They defended deeply in their own half, covering the penalty area and nearby areas.

"I don't understand Mr. Allardyce very well." Sky Sports' match commentator joked, "Losing by one and losing by three are the same points, not to mention this is at Empton Park, Hammers fans We don’t want to waste an afternoon watching our team get mobbed.”

Arsenal's players slowly advanced. They surrounded West Ham's players in a small area and conducted conduction from the outside of the penalty area.

Cazorla and Jorginho have the most ball rights. Due to the depth of West Ham's defense, Arsenal's offense hardly needs to be handed over to Jorginho, who is positioned deep in the back, for offensive organization.

Therefore, he boldly pressed into West Ham's half, with only Arteta trailing behind in front of the back line to maintain the balance of the line.

Cazorla and Jorginho are separated on the left and right ribs. As Arsenal's two hubs at the top of the arc, they constantly transfer the ball.

1 minutes.

After Cazorla got the ball in the left rib cage, he dribbled past a West Ham midfielder who was returning to defend and broke into the edge of the penalty area.

He found himself surrounded by West Ham players, with opponents' defenders swarming in every direction of the ball.

Cazorla sighed secretly. He was very confident in his skills, but in such a dense zone defense, even the best player in the world could not pass through the defense line alone.

And his vision is not outstanding. Perhaps at the other end of the court, his teammates have already had a chance, but he cannot pay attention to other areas of the court. He can only turn around and pass the ball briefly, handing the ball back to those behind him. teammates.

Arteta jogged a few steps to touch the ball and split the ball. Griezmann on the left could not find the space to cut into the penalty area. After hesitating for a few seconds, he returned the ball to Arteta.

Arteta took the ball and passed it to Jorginho on the right rib, and then Jorginho slowly looked for opportunities...

West Ham fans at Upton Park were left stunned by the hypnotic scene.

Their singing is getting deeper and deeper, and their cheers are getting softer and softer.

This scene was almost repeated throughout the second half.Allardyce gave up the idea of ​​risking points and firmly held on to a [-]-[-] score at home.

That's right, I kept it.

In his view, Premier League relegation is not only a contest of points, but also a contest of goal difference.

Allardyce feels that conceding only one goal may save himself and his team in the eighth round of No. 30.

Arsenal defeated West Ham United [-]-[-] amid shouts of abuse at Empton Park.

The Gunners players came to the visiting team's auditorium to express their gratitude. They were not very excited. Apart from the surge of offense in the first half, the two teams seemed to be engaged in a boring half-time drill in the second half. This victory came easily.

Chen Yao didn't look too excited.He shook hands with Allardyce and walked slowly to the dressing room.

"Congratulations, coach." At some point, Lillo also followed, "We won four consecutive victories."

"A great achievement." Bergkamp also followed.

"Yeah, we got [-] points...No one thought of this a month ago." Chen Yao said.

He shook his head and said, "I'm going to go to the press conference now. Let's take a day off after this game."

I've earned my time.he thinks.

　Gradually resume the update rhythm.There were suddenly a lot of things going on these days, and I had to study intensively, so it took a little longer than expected.
