Round of 99 Defense
Luton players into the dressing room.
Luton drew the visitors' dressing room in this game, but despite this, the visitors' dressing room at Wembley looked much better than the home dressing room at Kenilworth Stadium.
In addition to the high-grade wooden floor on the floor, there was a circle of wardrobes, leather chairs, a row of massage chairs next to it, a row of showers in the back, and even a small swimming pool in the changing room. Warm water flows continuously from the middle of the pond, then out of the drain around the top after spreading upward.
“Review if the ice water comes out suddenly when you shower in the pool!” Jeffrey said as he pointed towards Kante who was looking towards the pond with his mouth wide open.
“This is a common tactic for the home team to face the away team!” Jeffrey leaned forward Kante and was terrified. . "
"The visitors' dressing room at Old Trafford doesn't even have a bathroom. The windows are very small and the ceiling is much lower than a regular house. It feels very uncomfortable for people to enter."
"I heard that when the new Emirates Stadium was built, Wenger personally gave instructions on the construction of the visitors' dressing room, ensuring that the teams going to the Emirates Stadium would be very uncomfortable ..."
The players said what they heard one by one.
“We won't be treated like that today right ?!” Kante was obviously terrified, and the methods of these giants were even more ruthless.
"Of course not. This is the National Stadium, and it is a neutral stadium. The home team and the away team will not be treated differently. Even the locker rooms of home and away games are of different sizes, but there are some in the home team. "Captain Kevin Keane touched Kante's head and said.
Obviously Kante heaved a sigh of relief, he was eager to play bubbles in the hot pool.
But not now, because assistant coach John Aston has appealed to his players to warm up.
"Quick! Change clothes and shoes, you only have 30 minutes! GOGOGO !!!!" John Aston has been doing this job for almost 20 years, and he is very skilled. It's just the first time he's uttered such rhetoric at Wembley.
It doesn't look much different than other courses.
The players go out, walking from the tunnel of players to the field.
There was a loud noise outside the stadium, the stands were full, and on both sides of the stadium, Arsenal and Luton fans looked very different.
Gao Bo is not out with the players, he remains in the dressing room, preparing for his last job before the game.
He's already got Arsenal's starting roster, which is almost the same as he had expected before the game, with the exception of a few changes to the striker.
At first he thought Van Persie who had just announced his injury last week would not play in this match, at that time it was likely his striker pair was a combination of Adebayor and Arshavin.
But judging from the initial list that has just been received, Van Persie is still sorted by Wenger in the starting lineup, he and Adebayor form a double attacker, on top of the front.
Arshavin is also a starter, he is likely to be the right midfielder in this game, the left midfielder is Nasri, and the two players in midfield are Alexander Song and Fabregas who are Spanish geniuses.
Arsenal's current power placement in midfield and frontcourt is enough. On the bench, Arsenal also have good players like Walcott, Bendtner, Denilson, Bella, etc, and they are back from injury. Diaby was also sitting on the bench.
Wenger in defence really made the young goalkeeper Fabianski start, In terms of taking advantage of the youngster, Wenger is still very brave.
The centre-back combination is the pairing of Kolo Toure and Silvestre, left-back Gibbs, right-back Ebou.
Sending players out injured, this is basically Arsenal's main man.
Gao Bo wrote down the names of the players on the tactical board according to position 442.
Luton has been preparing for this match for a long time. No matter what the Arsenal starter changes, Luton can take countermeasures.
Gao Bo took out his notebook, which was already congested with things to watch out for in this game, but due to changes to Arsenal's starting lineup, he added a few more.
After doing this, Gao Bo activated the football card system.
Maybe after reaching the final and winning?
Gao Bo is not sure, but the cards still need to be installed in this game. It was a source of confidence against Arsenal. If there are no cards, Luton's difficulty to deal with Arsenal has increased by more than one level. .
Complete card!
[Game Card (Blue): Interception success rate increased by 15%]
This is the core card used by Gao Bo. The tactics set by Gao Bo for Luton were largely centered on these cards. If there are no such cards, Gao Bo hopes to play with pressure in midfield. The law will most likely be broken due to the lack of personal ability of the players.
Players are the basis of execution tactics.
Next, Gao Bo chooses the other three cards.
[Game card (yellow): Header ability increased by 7%, player designated "Jeffrey" used]
[Game card (yellow): shooting skills increased by 6%, players designated "Vardy" are used]
These two cards are also common cards of Gao Bo, and the card he uses next is a yellow card that he exchanges for a winning streak.
[Game card (yellow): rescue success rate increased by 7%, designated player "Claude Rondo" used]
Gao Bo wanted this card a long time ago. A good goalkeeper will definitely be the top half of the team. Although the overall strength of Claude Rondo was not satisfactory Gao Bo, but fortunately the England goalkeeper reacted quickly in front of goal, so Gao Bo always let Claude start as the main goalkeeper.
Arsenal are not a defensive team, they are always known for their beautiful offensive football. And facing Luton, Wenger could not hold his face to counter-attack the defence.
Gao Bo can confirm this, so for Luton, the keynote of the game is to hold Arsenal's offensive first, only then look for opportunities to attack.
"Do you know your mission?"
The players have warmed up and come back. Gao Bo stood in front of Hassan Ali, watching the young players he promoted from the academy and said, sticking behind Jamie "Gao Bo said to Hassan Ali aloud.
Gao Bo nodded: "Remember! Survive on the frontcourt like on the backcourt, to force them to take the ball!"
“Understand, Boss !!” Hassan Ali nodded and said.
Since you want to hold on, do it carefully!
Arsenal are very young. If they were allowed to attack and be played by these youths, it would really not be easy for Luton to defend against them!
The Luton defense was certainly not a simple formation of iron buckets on the backcourt, but it started from the front, oppressing the opposing ball holders!
Arsenal were good at advancing attacks through ground coordination, so after Gao Bo tried out defensive tactics in the previous league, he decided to use this trick in this game, in line with Luton's consistent overall defense. Oppression tactics on the frontcourt can disrupt the offensive organization of teams like Arsenal!
Gao Bo let Hassan Ali play almost like a shadow forward, and let him play in this position with a defensive midfielder who is very suitable and has a wide range. Of course, it was not because of Hassan's offensive talent.
The reason why Gao Bo did this was to make Arsenal's backcourt uncomfortable, and it was best to break the link between the Arsenal defender and the midfielder, It's to fundamentally curb Arsenal's offensive.
“Danny !! You have more activity!” Gao Bo said to Drinkwater, and then he stood up: “All !!! Be sure to pay attention to the whole !! The whole suppression, the whole retreat !! "
This is what Gao Bo planted on Luton.
Attacks are not just a question of forwards, and defense is not just a question of defenders.
Defense, starting from the front lines!
