  Chapter 1182 Fighting Tottenham again

  The atmosphere in the entire Tottenham locker room is a bit dignified.

  Korean star Sun Xingmin is even more nervous.

  A week before the start of the game, he was given an order by coach Pochettino, and he will play the role of the core of the offense in this game.

  For Sun Xingmin, this is a huge sublimation of his status in the team, and it is also a great pressure.

  In the past, Sun Xingmin was used to playing a blue-collar role, and his existence was to create opportunities for Harry Kane to shoot.

  But currently the Tottenham team is in troubled times.

  The scandal between Harry Kane and Manchester City is getting hotter and hotter.

  Even in the previous game against Manchester City, all the Manchester City fans chanted 'We will see you in June! Harry Kane, see you in June! '

  Faced with this kind of provocation, Harry Kane did not come forward to deny it, but said a light sentence.

  ‘But I’m focused on the team right now and trying to finish the season strong. '

   Obviously, these remarks failed to win the approval of the fans, and even caused anger.

   They need a more definitive rebuttal than this ambiguity.

  But Harry Kane has not responded, which made the fans even more annoyed.

  Combined with media reporters' push, rumors about Harry Kane's transfer to Manchester City are even more so.

   Even the head coaches of both sides were affected by this.

  However, Guardiola did not make any response, and he was happy to see it.

On the other hand, Tottenham coach Pochettino couldn't sit still. For this reason, he had a conversation with Harry Kane. No one knew the content of the conversation, but after this conversation, Tottenham's offensive direction changed. .

  Harry Kane is no longer the core offensive arrow, but Sun Xingmin, who has played well this season, will serve as the offensive arrow.

   For this reason, Sun Xingmin's position was also liberated from the left winger, and he often roamed in the center forward.

  Harry Kane retreated to take up the tenth organization position. This time, the Korean star's offensive ability was thoroughly excavated.

   Four games, four goals.

   The strong performance of averaging one goal per game led Tottenham to four consecutive league victories.

  Even the somewhat sluggish midfielder was inspired by Sun Xingmin, and became more and more smooth.

  Sun Xingmin's outstanding performance gave Pochettino and Tottenham fans a certain amount of confidence. They want to rely on this point to fight against Arsenal, find a way to win a game from the opponent, and end Arsenal's **** undefeated record.

   "We have to be careful of No. 7 opposite, that is, the Korean!"

In the locker room, Mourinho tapped on the tactical board and said: "It is necessary for Kanter to retreat a little bit to intercept Sun's pass. The defender also needs to keep an eye on the Korean at all times. in some surprising places."

  In this game, Le Kai's position will be higher, so he can't fully play the defensive role, which requires the help of his teammates.

   After simply arranging the tactics, Mourinho began to announce the starting lineup.

   Still the main force. After all, it is the semi-finals of the League Cup. Although there are two rounds, Mourinho dare not take it lightly.

   First of all, we must win the next game steadily.

   Soon, the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the big screen.

  Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

  Goalkeeper: Martinez.

  Defenders; Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

  Midfielders: Aubameyang, Kanter, Wilshere, Lucky, Mane.

  Forward: Giroud.

  Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2):

  Goalkeeper: Lori.

  Defenders: Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Aurier.

  Midfielders: Dell, Eriksson, Ali, Lamela.

  Forwards: Sun Xingmin, Harry Kane.

   Pochettino fulfilled his promise and played almost all the main players in this game, which also shows his attitude.

   And also adopted a relatively conservative 4-4-2 stance.

  For Pochettino, who advocates beautiful offensive football, this is also a compromise.

  They just want to disrupt Arsenal's offensive pace in the midfield and at the same time create opportunities for their own counterattacks.

  For this reason, Pochettino also specifically asked Eriksson to find more positions for Sun Xingmin, play harder in midfield, and make more presses and interceptions.

  The lineup of the two sides was finalized, and they walked into the stadium amidst the intense cheers of the Arsenal fans.

  When two teams collide, there is always a smell of gunpowder.

  Especially after Lucky was almost attacked in White Hart Lane, the hatred of Arsenal fans for Tottenham took to a new level.

  Since Tottenham entered the field, the boos, abuse, and intimidation of Arsenal fans have never stopped.

  They all had hideous expressions, as if they were about to tear apart Tottenham players.

   You know, if something unexpected happens to Lucky in that game, it may really cause riots among Arsenal fans.

  For Arsenal, Lucky is their captain and leader.

  They will not admit that Lucky was attacked and injured in such a vile way.

  Under the intense pressure, the Tottenham players looked solemn.

  Although they are mortal enemies, the anger of Arsenal fans is obviously more intense.

  Even on the sideline of the field, there are many security personnel with shields standing. This is to protect the players from sending out sideline kicks and corner kicks smoothly, and avoid being attacked by debris thrown from the stands.

   After all, a game is a game, and you should not be disturbed by such things.

  The captains of the two sides, Lucky and Lori, exchanged team flags symbolically, and immediately started a side selection.

  Lori won the right to choose the side, and he chose the right to kick off.

  Tottenham won the right to take the lead in the first half.

  The two sides returned to their respective halfs and began to prepare for the battle.

   "Here is the first round of the 2018/2019 English League Cup semi-final, Arsenal's home game against Tottenham!"

"Arsenal had just won the North London derby in the first leg at White Hart Lane a few weeks ago, but they met in the Carabao Cup semi-final before the second leg came. Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino even said that they will take revenge!"

   "We can look forward to Tottenham's performance in this game!"

   "At the same time, Arsenal's state is still hot. Can they defeat their opponents and continue their unbeaten record?"

  In the words of the commentator Paul Mawson, the camera appears in the middle circle.

  Harry Kane is stepping on the ball, waiting for the kick-off.

  When the referee exits the center circle and blows a sharp whistle, the game is officially started.

  After the game started, Harry Kane passed the ball back and immediately ran forward.

  Tottenham's overall formation did not move back, but tried to attract Arsenal players to press forward.

  When they pressed forward enough, Vertonghen went straight forward.

   This kick is looking for Harry Kane.

  Harry Kane is closely following Hummels while observing the position of his teammate Sun Xingmin.

  After determining the position of the opponent, Harry Kane continued to fight against Hummels, and turned his head to the left the moment he touched the ball on his forehead.

  The ball was immediately pushed to the neutral position on the left.

   And there, Sun Xingmin had already started, directly passed Bellerin, and after receiving the ball, he took advantage of the trend to cut in.

   Near the penalty area line, Sun Xingmin didn't hesitate at all and shot directly.

  Jimenez tried to block, but failed.

  Fortunately, the goalkeeper Martinez has good concentration. He adjusted in small steps. At the moment Sun Xingmin shot the goal, the diving save dragged the ball out of the goal with his palm.

  "Harry Kane made the ball, Sun Xingmin went forward and cut in! Shot!!"

   "Shot!!"

  In the expectant eyes of Tottenham fans, the ball was thrown out by Martinez.

   "Martinez!" Paul Molson roared.

   "This is Arsenal's last line of defense. His tall body and wingspan have become a wall for Arsenal to deny shots from Korean stars!"

"But we also need to admit that the shot was tricky and powerful, but Martinez was too focused! Tottenham failed to score, but after the kick-off, they immediately got a corner. Opportunity, Tottenham's offensive intentions after the opening are very intense!"

   Lucky ran back in the frontcourt to fight for the top.

  Tottenham’s offense made him a little unexpected. It was not ground penetration, but a direct long pass to the center forward, relying on Harry Kane’s ability to make the ball and let Sun Xingmin shoot.

   Simplify tactical advancement capabilities while retaining sufficient offensive strength.

   I have to say that Pochettino's tactical change is very effective.
