Chapter 220 Killing the Suspense

This is indeed the case.

Being just one goal behind gave Norwich players hope.

This hope was enough reason for them to try their best in the second half.

And in order to match the fighting spirit of Norwich players. Before the second half of the game even started, two Norwich players were standing on the sidelines.

The first is the substitution at the center back position. Bennett replaced Martin who got a red card.

Then he replaced offensive midfielder Fell and replaced defensive midfielder Tetai who got a yellow card in the first half.

Such substitutions were naturally made to match Norwich's tactical adjustments in the second half.

The second half of the game started.

Norwich adopted a very extreme offensive approach.

But at the Premier League level.

Although England is the origin and home base of the long pass and lob tactics.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Arsenal fans were quite relaxed. They were talking and laughing in the visiting team's stands. Some even went out to buy burgers, fried fish, Coke, etc., and missed the first few minutes of the second half. .

They rarely play pure English football anymore.

Nervous looks began to appear on their faces.

Until now.

They held the ball high and played long passes and lobs.

This is a change for all top league teams.

So now Arsenal was caught off guard.

Norwich too.

He stood on the sidelines and even rubbed his hands nervously.

Norwich's ferocious attack put pressure on Arsenal fans.

The opponent directly adopted a long pass to lob, fight for the header, and fight for the body. This strategy made Arsenal somewhat unexpected.

in the lower leagues of England.

The second half didn't take long to start.

But soon, they stopped laughing.

But that doesn't mean they can't play English football when needed.

Technological, pursuing efficiency and control.

The 442 formation plus long passes and high-flying plays are still the mainstream tactics.

Wenger was sitting on the coaching bench at the beginning, but now he can't sit still.

Even if it is a relegation team.

Heading and body, these two items slightly make up for the technical gap between Norwich and Arsenal.

In addition, Norwich took the lead in the second half.

So now, Arsenal's penalty area is a bit unsettled.

Forty-eight minutes of the game.

Norwich passed the high-altitude operation continuously and forced Szczesny to make a save after completing the header.

Norwich won a corner kick.

The corner kick came out, and Koscielny's header missed the baseline and then went out of the baseline.

The second corner kick was taken out of the bottom line and was destroyed by Arsenal players.

Although Norwich failed to score two consecutive corner kicks.

But they got their third corner right away!
As soon as the game started, Norwich scored three corner kicks.

This naturally makes Arsenal fans quite nervous.

When a weak team plays against a strong team, positioning the ball is definitely the most important offensive method.

It is definitely not a good thing for Norwich to get set pieces in the frontcourt continuously.

really.

In the third corner kick, Norwich created a very big threat.

This time, they did not kick the ball into the penalty area, but kicked the ball near the arc of the penalty area.

Norwich midfielder No. 10 Fell, who came on as a substitute in the second half, volleyed the ball!
The football hit the post with a thud and went out of the baseline.

This scene caused the entire Carrow Road stadium to erupt with a sigh of regret.

It also made Arsenal's supporters feel a little stunned.

After getting up, Szczesny clapped his hands hard: "Be careful! Don't give them such a chance!!"

He was quite frightened. With so many people in the penalty area, his view was completely blocked.

If the ball hits the goal frame, it will definitely go in!
Wenger on the sidelines was also waving his arms vigorously and shouting: "Cheer up! Don't give them a chance!!"

After Arsenal's players withstood this three-storm attack,

I was also greatly relieved.

Li Mo was right.

If they are just one goal behind, Norwich can indeed see hope.

This will hopefully give them a reason to fight.

The only way.

Just crush their hopes!
Withstood Norwich's onslaught in the first five minutes.

After Arsenal got the ball back, they were not in a hurry to counterattack and regain the field.

They controlled the football in the backfield.

Anyway, they are the leading side now, and there is really no need for them to be anxious.

But Norwich certainly can't let Arsenal be like this forever.

They are definitely up for grabs - time is not on their side.

But once they come up to grab it, the space in the backcourt can be used by Arsenal.

This is a dilemma for any team.

But it's a choice between the lesser of two evils.

Should he bravely press out and fight for the possibility, or should he sit in the backcourt and watch the game time being wasted.

Norwich chose the former.

Since you want to rob.

Then you have to grab it resolutely.

Pressing is like being pregnant.

Either you are pregnant or you are not.

It is impossible to be pregnant slowly.

The same goes for pressing.

If you want to press, press thoroughly and resolutely.

If some people want to press, some people are hesitant.

Then it would completely fall apart.

Therefore, Norwich's pressing was quite aggressive.

There were cheers at Carrow Road Stadium.

Another pitch.

Manchester City faces West Ham United at home.

They did not score in the first half and the score was zero to zero.

However, not long after the start of the second half, Manchester City's ferocious offense finally scored. They broke through West Ham United's goal in the 54th minute of the game.

"Aguero! Aguero!! Twenty-sixth league goal this season! Beautiful!! Well done!"

the Manchester TV commentator shouted excitedly.

While he was talking.

Then he saw the monitor in front of him showing the real-time score of another game: Norwich 0:2 Arsenal.

"Sanchez!!!"

In the commentary box at Carrow Road Stadium.

The commentators cheered.

After scoring the goal, the Chilean winger opened his arms and excitedly rushed towards Li Mo, who assisted him.

"Beautiful! Beautiful goal, beautiful pass!!"

"Arsenal played a very classic counterattack. Li Mo acted as a bridgehead in this attack. He received the long pass from the backcourt, protected the ball, attracted the defense, and then passed the ball with his heel to Sanchez. Sanchez lived up to his score after getting a solo shot. A great gift from Li Mo, he calmly completed the push shot and expanded the score to 2-0!”

"Arsenal is already leading 2-0! They are really only the last millimeter away from the Premier League championship!"

Two goals ahead!

Almost everyone agrees.

Norwich has completely lost the possibility of defeating Arsenal.

"Arsenal showed their maturity. Under Norwich's fierce counterattack in the second half, they calmly adopted the most appropriate game strategy. They are now two goals ahead. Although in another stadium, Manchester City has also achieved They are leading, but no matter how many goals they win, it will probably be of no use."
