Strong Waist

Chapter 77 Breaking the Deadlock

Facing Arsenal's bombardment, Dortmund's defense was difficult to maintain, but it still held on.

Until the end of the first half, Arsenal failed to score any goals.

"We played too anxiously. We must grasp the changes in rhythm when attacking. Don't push forward when the opponent shrinks their defense. Make more use of the space left and right!"

After returning to the locker room, Eriksen turned to his teammates.

Many times, Eriksen's passes are forced. His teammates want to attack and score goals too much.

For this reason, it failed to create the feeling of disrupting the opponent's defense.

Of course, there is also Dortmund's strong ability to maintain the defense line.

"In the second half, the overall tactics remained unchanged. Eriksen still led the attack, but he had to be more decisive in pressing forward and not give Dortmund too many opportunities to counterattack!"

Mourinho turned to look at Lucky and said: "Haaland will continue to be restricted by you. Their performance in the first half was very good. As long as Haaland misfires, it will be difficult for their offense to be successful."

"No! They still have Sancho!"

Lucky suddenly said: "In the first half, Haaland played an assisting role, but in the second half, he may act as a wall to create space for Sancho to advance and pass the ball. We must also consider this."

Mourinho nodded and said: "That's right, so Bellerin can't move forward. His task is to follow up with Sancho. At the same time, Kante must get close to the opponent as soon as possible."

The impact of Dortmund's offense was stronger than expected.

Fortunately, this is Arsenal. If it had been another team, they might have been misfired by the other team.

And Dortmund is also in very good shape in this game.

Of course, Arsenal is not at its peak at the moment.

Kanter and Aubameyang have just returned, and it will take some time for them to return to their peak.

However, judging from the current situation, Arsenal still holds the initiative.

Finally, Mourinho clapped his hands and said: "Okay, boys, keep up the good work and put more pressure on them in the second half."

Arsenal players also responded one after another, their morale is still very high.

On the other side, Dortmund is also very impressive.

"We played very well in the first half and even though we were suppressed after 30 minutes, we played very well in the previous 30 minutes."

"Boys, you have to believe in yourselves. Arsenal is not invincible. Today we will take away three points at the Emirates Stadium."

Favre's words inspired the Dortmund players present.

Being able to beat Arsenal, especially away from home, is a very tempting thing for them.

What's more, once they defeat Arsenal on the road, their path to promotion will become very smooth.

And based on their performance in the first half, they didn't have a chance.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, Royce suddenly said: "At the beginning of the second half, you must defend well. Arsenal often choose to increase their offensive intensity at the beginning of the second half. This period is very dangerous. We cannot Drop the ball at a time like this.”

"Harland, your task is still to contain Kai!"

Haaland gave a thumbs up to show he understood.

Dortmund's players knew very well that if Lucky was suppressed in the half, they could relieve a large part of the pressure.

After all, Lucky poses too much of a threat in the frontcourt.

Harland's role is not only a battering ram, but also plays a role in containing Lucky.

As long as Haaland is on the back line, Lucky will not be able to move forward freely to press him.

The tactics of both sides are determined, and there will be no personnel changes.

At the same time, the second half of the game also began.

"There won't be any personnel changes on either side, Arsenal"

As soon as he finished speaking, the situation in the arena suddenly changed.

Arsenal defender De Ligt suddenly made a very deep through ball and passed the ball directly to Giroud's feet.

Giroud, while running diagonally, directed the ball towards the gap in the middle.

Eriksen moved forward, moved the ball to the right, shook off the opponent's defense, and hit the goal directly.

Ding!

The ball hit the goalpost firmly and flew out of the baseline.

Ah~~~~~~~~~~!

Arsenal fans at the scene let out cries of regret.

Eriksen also held his head and knelt on the ground, with a look of regret on his face.

"At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal suddenly made a forward push and almost scored a goal. Eriksen's shot was very tricky, but he lacked a little bit of luck!"

Andy Gray shook his head regretfully.

If this shot had resulted in a goal, the format of the game would have been completely upended.

But luck seems to be favoring Dortmund.

However, Dortmund was also taken aback by this sudden attack.

Royce, who was calm, couldn't help but roared: "Stay focused! I told you that they will strengthen their offense, don't give them this chance, stay close! Defend close!"

The Dortmund players were also shocked and angry.

They did not expect that Arsenal's attack would come so suddenly, and it would be a direct attack from the central defender.

This was something they didn't expect at all.

However, based on this raid, Dortmund players became more vigilant.

On the other side, Lucky is also observing the opponent's position.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Dortmund's defense is very tight. With the position of three central defenders, there is already a lot of space on both sides.

But now that it is retracted, there is an obvious gap on both sides.

This is a completely usable space.

When the game started again, Lucky took the initiative to shout to Eriksen without leaving his own half.

"Return more passes to extend their front line!"

Erikson didn't know what Lucky meant, but he did it anyway.

Whenever there is some pressure in the attack, he will choose to pass back.

After Lucky catches the ball, he will observe the position in front of him. After repeated repetitions, he finally saw the gap on the right side of the opponent at the 52nd minute.

At the same time, Mane kept looking back.

Lucky immediately shouted; "Pass back!"

Eriksen was dribbling horizontally to the left, but upon hearing Lucky's call, he immediately passed the ball back.

Lucky faced the ball, passed the ball directly, and shouted: "Mane! Run!!"

Under the deafening roar, Mane subconsciously turned around and sprinted.

At this time, Lucky's long pass also flew in the opposite direction towards the space on the right.

At this time, Dortmund's overall defense line was closer to the left side. Seeing Mane suddenly advancing from the right side, they immediately became panicked.

Piszczek quickly turned around and rushed over.

But when he rushed to Mane's side, the opponent had already stopped the ball and directly chose to rush.

Before Piszczek turned around, Mane had already pulled half a body forward, and when he chased back, he was already one body behind.

Mane immediately chose to cut inside, and at the same time, Giroud also immediately moved forward.

There was only one Schmelzer among them.

At this time, Schmelzer was also extremely panicked. He not only had to ensure that Mane would not shoot, but also blocked the angle of Mane's cross.

At this moment, Mane suddenly made a gesture of shooting.

Schmelzer could only fly to save, but at this time, Mane immediately stopped. After Schmelzer opened the gap for the cross, Mane passed a low ball towards the center.

Giroud moved forward very calmly and shot easily with the arch of his foot.

The ball hit the net.

In the 53rd minute, Arsenal finally broke through Dortmund's goal.

This also completely broke the stalemate situation!

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!"

"Wonderful long pass coordination. Arsenal completely disrupted Dortmund's defense with continuous transfers. Kai completed the fatal transfer long pass. Mane's start-up cut inside was also extremely good. In the end, he faked a shot and passed the ball, assisting Giannis. Lu broke the door!"

"Arsenal scored first! This goal also made Dortmund's situation worse!"

Giroud's goal completely ignited the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans.

Even the Arsenal players were very excited.

With this goal, they completely broke the stalemate, and the scale of victory began to tilt towards Arsenal.

The Dortmund players are also very depressed.

Royce reminded them, but they still lost the ball. Arsenal's counterattack in the off-field was stronger and the rhythm changed faster. If they lost one step, they would be completely unable to catch up.

They understand that the deadlock has been broken!
