Chapter 904 Home defeat

"Mane is too restless! He was sent off with a red card, and one less player will be played in this game, and the next few games will also be affected! Arsenal can only make adjustments as soon as possible!"

Yes!

Arsenal have to adjust.

If you keep following the previous style of play, Arsenal is designated to be beaten into a sieve in the case of one less player.

But Arsenal is currently in a backward state, in a dilemma, which is also extremely embarrassing.

But Mourinho's response was much quicker.

"Koscielny, Mustafi go warm up!"

Mourinho's expression is very serious.

This kind of situation in the game was something he didn't expect, and it made him feel extremely anxious.

But he is the head coach, and he needs to play a role in this kind of time.

For this reason, Mourinho is more willing to cut off his own arm than to continue to attack with a glimmer of hope.

If you lose this game, you lose!

But the score can no longer be expanded.

Arsenal needs all staff to back down and start defending.

Under the condition that the score remains unchanged, the exact adjustment will be made in the next round.

Now this is the last resort.

However, Mourinho still hopes that Arsenal can listen to the last five minutes.

Substitutions are being made in the second half.

After Mane got off the field with a red card, Arsenal did retreat to defend.

But the overall state has become extremely anxious.

On the other hand, Barcelona has a huge advantage, and the previous passive situation was instantly reversed, and each of them charged forward like a chicken blood, wanting to score more goals.

Barcelona's offense is like a tide, wave after wave.

And Arsenal's defense is facing a huge impact.

Lucky is also actively defending, but he is an individual after all, and cannot take care of every corner of the defense.

Barcelona specifically avoided Lucky.

This caused Arsenal to play more and more uncomfortable.

Boom!

In 42 minutes, Suarez was saved again by goalkeeper Martinez.

Barcelona gets the corner.

This time, Barcelona did not hang directly to the middle, but chose to kick a tactical corner kick.

Iniesta received the ball forward, and after a two-for-one cooperation with Messi, Iniesta came to the "Messi corridor" position, dribbled two steps along the side, and looked up.

He found that Martinez's position was close to the left and immediately shot.

This is a shot.

It's the far corner!

The ball hit the dead corner of the goal accurately like a precision missile, and got into the goal.

Barcelona expanded the score once.

The score came to Arsenal 1:3 Barcelona!

This goal made the Emirates Stadium completely quiet.

Arsenal fans looked at the stadium in disbelief. No matter how disadvantaged they were in the past, this situation never happened.

At this time, Arsenal showed some signs of collapse.

The only good news is the halftime whistle.

Finally entered the intermission.

Throughout the intermission, the fans were anxiously waiting.

They searched their heads, but couldn't find a suitable solution.

How to turn Arsenal around?

Rely on Lucky?

This is the first figure that pops up in the heads of the fans.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal made substitutions.

Koscielny and Mustafi came off the bench, and Arsenal made it clear that they were going to bus.

This is to lock the score and not lose points.

Arsenal changed their strategy, and Barcelona also changed their strategy.

Different from the previous penetrating style of play, they began to strengthen their personal advancement ability.

Want to rely on personal ability to open the gap.

In the Barcelona team, both Messi and Iniesta, including Suarez, can do the job.

Compared with tactical play that requires cooperation, this breakthrough tactic embodied by personal ability is more suitable for tight spaces.

Valverde's tactics hit Arsenal's vitals.

This also caused Arsenal to continue to have breakthroughs and pressure from the two wings despite starting to set up the bus.

But Arsenal are also doing their best to defend.

When the time came to 80 minutes, Arsenal had survived more than half of the time.

As long as they last the last ten minutes, the game is over.

But the crisis often appears at the last moment of relaxation.

Injury time period.

Iniesta and Messi suddenly started to exert their strength, and the two entered Arsenal's penalty area like cheetahs.

In the cramped space, he squeezed left and right, suddenly a gap was drilled.

In the end, Messi received a pass from Iniesta, and before falling to the ground, he swept the ball and hit the goal from a small angle.

The ball almost flew into the goal against Martinez's calf.

At the last moment, Barcelona scored again.

The score of the whole game came to Arsenal 1:4 Barcelona.

In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal lost 1:4 at home.

This result stunned the Arsenal fans, including the reporters.

Arsenal lost?

Arsenal lost! !

The reporters immediately became excited after a brief trance.

This is shocking news!

The thriving Arsenal suffered a disastrous defeat at home.

This news is too explosive.

None of them left the venue, and started to type up drafts on the spot.

On the court, with Kanter's last kick to clear the siege, the game officially came to an end.

The game is over!

Arsenal players are nothing but ignorant.

At the beginning, they played well, but why did they suddenly become like this?

What went wrong when he fell to the ground.

They don't understand, the game shouldn't develop in this direction!

But this is already the established result, Arsenal lost.

They need to admit this reality anyway.

Le Kai stood there with his waist thrust forward, his expression extremely helpless.

The game got to the point where he didn't even have time to stop or do anything about it.

After the first half, Arsenal's rhythm began to mess up.

Here is part of his reason.

If he can retreat frequently and press more aggressively, it is estimated that there will be a different effect.

But it is useless to regret now, I can only wait for the next round of the game.

Suarez beat Lucy here, and the two embraced.

Suarez didn't say anything, this is not a good time to comfort, and the game is not completely over.

Although Arsenal is currently at a huge, huge, huge disadvantage, there is still the possibility of a comeback.

Lucky shook hands with every Barcelona player.

When these guys appeared as victors, they were all extremely friendly.

Once you lose, you turn around and go back.

Of course, Lucky can also understand.

If he wasn't the captain of Arsenal, he probably would have done the same.

Finally, Lucky was interviewed by the media:

"Yes, this is a failure! There is no reason, we played badly, this is our overall problem, even if there is a personal reason, it is because we as a whole did not communicate better!"

Even if it fails, I still want to tell the fans, don't give up too early, we still have a chance!

After Le Kai finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

The reporters were satisfied and began to write further manuscripts.

When Le Kai returned to the locker room, Mourinho was already standing in the middle.

The entire locker room was quiet.

Le Kai walked in, didn't say anything, but went straight to his seat and sat down.

He could feel that morale was extremely low, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

This is what losing feels like.

And it was a loss at home.

This feeling sucks!

"In this game, I will not blame anyone, but I hope those players can realize their own problems."

Mourinho said slowly; "First of all, it's my problem. As the head coach, I didn't have a thorough insight into the team's situation and the existing loopholes. At the beginning, I suddenly fell into a huge disadvantage!"

Secondly, our overall mentality is too relaxed. It's good to forget about stress, but without stress, there will be problems!

"The former can bring you better performance, while the latter will bring you failure!"

"This is the final result!"

Speaking of this, there was a sudden sob in the locker room.

Lucky turned his head and looked, he saw that Xhaka was sobbing with his head down, shrugging his shoulders.

In this game, Xhaka was blown away by Messi.

This is not a shameful thing, after all, many players have the same experience.

However, he failed to give Messi any restrictions, and Xhaka felt extremely self-blame for his air-like defensive ability.
