Chapter 213: Erickson's Attack

"Tottenham's offense has become more sophisticated, which may be related to their fierce pressing in the frontcourt."

Andy Gray clearly felt that Tottenham's offense became more organized.

Unlike the previous confusion in the frontcourt, Tottenham became more decisive after losing the ball.

Perhaps they also knew what losing this game meant, so they became even more desperate.

This is a very good change for Tottenham. At least this change can make Tottenham's offense sharper.

The fierce pressing and confrontation in the frontcourt, and the direct counterattack after the steal, to a certain extent, made it not so easy for Arsenal to play the ball.

Moreover, Tottenham exerted a lot of pressure. For this reason, Arsenal's conduction in the backcourt was no longer easy, and it was impossible for them to put the danger in their own half.

But when the ball was passed to the frontcourt, some of Wilshere's problems were exposed.

Wilshere suddenly became an outstanding player, but under Mourinho's adjustment, his style no longer presented the same elegant and agile feeling as before, but was more focused on positional warfare.

This also shows that Wilshere's personal ability to advance with the ball is limited.

He needs his teammates around him to help him create space, and under Tottenham's pressure, Wilshere will more often transfer the ball towards Lucky in the backcourt, and then let Lucky use the width of the field to organize and deploy.

After all, Kolakai is in the backcourt and cannot fully utilize his offensive capabilities.

This also gave Tottenham a good opportunity to find some counterattacks amid this constant pressure.

Tottenham's fighting spirit seemed to be aroused.

Eriksen became the starting point of Tottenham's offense. With his full running and organization, Tottenham's offense was organized very efficiently.

In fact, Eriksen is already a Champions League champion level player.

When his ability is fully utilized, he has extremely powerful offensive space, and his passing is also full of imagination.

Arsenal cannot rely on ordinary link-up defense to limit these things.

When Tottenham handed the ball to Eriksen for dispatch, the opponent's overall offense became very clean.

Eriksson is also paying attention to Lucky's positioning.

He knew very well what Lucky's location meant to them.

Even now, Eriksson does not want to directly confront Lucky. In this case, his winning rate is not high.

For this reason, he could only try to avoid Lucky and organize the attack.

Although the efficiency will be weakened, it can indeed bypass Lucky and create a threat to Arsenal's goal.

Just like this time, when Eriksen saw Lucky standing close to the right side, he decisively passed the ball towards Bellerin's defense on the left.

The ball was passed very suddenly, attracting everyone's attention with a hidden toe poke.

The key to passing is accuracy and concealment.

And Eriksen's pass fully demonstrated these two characteristics.

When Son Xingmin saw this forward insertion point, he also started quickly and tried to bypass Bellerin from the outside.

But Bellerín also reacted quickly, only half a body behind Sun Xingmin.

As the ball approached, Sun Xingmin saw that he had no chance to cut inside. He could only pass the ball directly.

The ball landed in the middle, and Harry Kane made a move to compete for the top, but instead of jumping, he missed the ball.

Ali, who was at the back point, moved forward, lightly touched the ball with his right foot, and then turned his left foot to shoot. Robertson was the first to destroy the ball.

"Be decisive! You should shoot directly!"

Harry Kane complained.

If the ball just hit the goal directly instead of being cushioned, it would really be possible.

Ali also looked full of regret.

He is still not confident enough.

Harry Kane was right. He should have hit the goal directly just now, but it was just a cushion that gave Robertson the opportunity to retreat and destroy it.

It's too late to say anything now, they need to focus on this corner kick.

Tottenham's corner kick was taken by Eriksen. Harry Kane struggled to head the ball towards the goal. However, due to the interference of Hummels, he failed to control the touch point. This also resulted in insufficient force on the ball and the speed of the ball. Not fast.

Goalkeeper Martinez easily held the ball in his arms and immediately stepped forward.

Arsenal's counterattack was also very sharp.

After receiving the ball, Giroud turned around and almost carried Vertonghen to shoot.

This kick was aimed at the lower left corner, but Tottenham goalkeeper Lori also reacted quickly. He reached down very quickly and saved the ball.

The ball returned to the feet of Tottenham players again.

At this time, Eriksen also ran back quickly and had already reached his own half to catch the ball, preparing to reorganize the attack.

Seeing this, many people have been pleasantly surprised by Erikson's performance.

Different from the previous hazy state and the drama that often disappeared, in this game, Eriksen became the most critical link in Tottenham's advancement.

It can be said that Tottenham's offense can threaten Arsenal, and Eriksen is invincible.

Even Pochettino on the sidelines looked at Eriksen in surprise.

Eriksson was definitely the backbone of Tottenham in the early days, but with the outbreak of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, Eriksson's status and tactical significance have been weakened, and his performance has also become fluctuating.

In this game, Eriksson felt that he was the best one in Tottenham.

Not only Pochettino, but even Arsenal coach Mourinho was slightly surprised.

"In our database, has Eriksson ever performed like this?"

Mourinho turned his head and asked.

Arteta shook his head and said: "In recent seasons, Eriksson's performance is not particularly outstanding, but when he first joined Tottenham, his performance was very exciting, and he even brought us many threats."

Mourinho nodded slightly, and then looked at Eriksson with a slightly flickering look.

In the arena, Tottenham began to continuously put pressure on Arsenal.

The stage of the final is like this, constantly adjusting, adjusting, and adjusting again.

The rhythm of the game will not remain unchanged. In the repeated adjustments, the situation also ushered in different changes.

Just like before, Arsenal controlled the situation, and Tottenham, after falling behind, made up for the confrontation in the midfield through fierce pressing and running, and at the same time posed a threat to Arsenal.

In this game, Eriksen became a good starting point for counterattack.

At this time, Eriksen was already sweating profusely, and his physical energy consumption was also very large during the continuous running.

However, he could not stop during this period of time. He was the organizing point in the frontcourt and needed to hold the ball at all times.

And Arsenal seemed to feel this, and the pressure on him became a little greater.

They need to score as soon as possible!

Eriksen knew very well that in this case, dragging it on would not be of any benefit to Tottenham.

Thinking of this, he passed the ball to Sun Xingmin, who cut inside and shot after receiving the ball.

Sun Xingmin's long-range shot was very accurate, especially the shot on the penalty area line, running horizontally.

This shot was very powerful and the angle was tricky.

Although goalkeeper Martinez was concentrating, he still used his fingers to push the ball to the other side.

Coincidentally, the ball just rolled to Ali's feet.

Ali turned and kicked the ball, but suddenly his foot buckled.

It was a direct inverted triangle pass.

And this pass made Arsenal's defense chaotic.

"Stop him!"

Lekai shouted immediately, directing his teammates to rush towards Eriksen.

And Eriksen had already taken a long shot. The next second, he gently put down his right foot and poked the ball under the toe.

The ball passed Hummels and flew to Harry Kane.

Harry Kane turned sideways and slightly lifted the ball with his chest, then swung his right foot and twisted his waist to shoot directly.

This shot was very close to the goal, and it was so powerful that Martinez didn't react at all.

The ball went directly into the net.

In the 41st minute, with only a minute left before the end of the first half, Eriksen and Harry Kane's connection helped Tottenham equalize the score.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

!

!"

"Harry Kane's wonderful shot! Tottenham equalized the score in the first half. This was an excellent offensive mobilization in the frontcourt. At the same time, under the constant offensive pressure, Tottenham had the best chance, and they firmly grasped it and scored a goal!"
