    Newcastle did not expect it when they risked their lives and started attacking at the beginning of the second half.

    So when Newcastle created several shooting opportunities in a row, although Wenger's expression remained motionless, his heart seemed to be beating violently out of his chest.

    Lehmann¡¯s outstanding performance made Wenger relieved. He had no time to react just now, but now he has a good way.

    He stood up and made a gesture to Henry, the captain on the field. Henry nodded, indicating that he understood.

    Wenger¡¯s response method is very simple, that is to launch a counterattack to knock down Newcastle¡¯s arrogance!

    Just now, Newcastle pressed very high when attacking, and both full-backs pressed up. If they don't suffer a little pain in time, it will be difficult to suppress them after Newcastle gains momentum.

    Football matches, to put it bluntly, are a war between suppression and counter-suppression, a battle for time and space, suppressing the opponent's offensive space, and trying to increase your own offensive space. This is the way to win.

    Coaches like Wenger and Mourinho will naturally not pin their hopes of victory on illusory luck.

    Lehmann took a goal kick. This time he did not kick the ball with a big kick, because although Arsenal's two forwards in the frontcourt were both very tall, they had no advantage in the fight for the header. Not only did Newcastle's two defenders  He is not at a disadvantage against any opponent in terms of height, and his heading skills are also very good.

    Sun Chenghai received the ball and saw Ribery rushing toward him.  He quickly handed the ball to Cesc Fabregas in the middle. The Spanish kid did not let the ball stay at his feet for long, but passed the ball directly to Henry on the left side of the front court.

    Arsenal's counterattack was very fast. When Henry got the ball, Newcastle only had Maicon, Makelele and Dawson defending in the half, and Makelele had just returned to defend from the opponent's half.

    Maicon was almost got rid of by Henry in the blink of an eye. The French forward was at his peak. Although Maicon was in good physical condition, he lacked some defense and it was still difficult for him to stop the lightning-like power of the King of Highbury.  General breakthrough.

    As long as there is enough space, Henry's quick start breakthrough is quite difficult to deal with, not only because of its speed.  His ability to accelerate and change direction quickly is also second to none among active forwards, and he often performs great performances in which he passes several opponents' players and scores goals in a row.

    So when Henry took the ball and started to start, Mourinho and Pei Wei's hearts "knocked" at the same time.

    In this position, in this distance, in this situation

    Sure enough, Maicon, who was the first to rush forward, was quickly broken through by Henry. Although he immediately turned around and chased Henry, with Henry's acceleration, even if Maicon ran without the ball, it would be difficult to catch up with him. Macklay  Len was running back as hard as he could.  But his speed is not as fast as Maicon.

    In other words, except for goalkeeper Cech, there is no one who can stop Henry from moving forward.  Dawson was alone.

    Reminiscent of the way Dawson was swayed around by Henry in the first half, I'm afraid even Newcastle won't have high hopes.

    Dawson stepped forward. Needless to say, he also knew that his task was extremely important - to defend Henry's breakthrough and not let him pose any threat to the gate guarded by Cech - in fact, this was also  It's not difficult, at least now he hasn't entered the penalty area and you can use foul tactics to stop him.  But now that Dawson has a yellow card, he doesn't dare to make a big move.

    In the current situation, if Newcastle is still missing one person, then I am afraid that the gods will not be able to help Newcastle win.

    "I should have replaced him with Kufuor or Taylor." Mourinho thought helplessly. At least Kufuor is much more experienced, and he is not afraid of fouls.

    Mourinho overlooked one thing - maybe Kufuor has more experience than Dawson now, but Dawson has the courage unique to young people - stimulated by courage, he may be able to do better than usual.  Much more.

    Dawson approached cautiously and did not pounce like an average English defender.  Then he was shaken away by Henry with small skills - he kept a medium distance from Henry because what he wanted to do now was not to steal the ball.  But to slow down Henry.

    Seeing Dawson's posture.  Henry felt a little regretful in his heart. He really hoped that Dawson would just pounce on him.  Then I can shake him off easily. Now it seems that that situation will not happen anymore.

    But this situation is also childish for Henry. He has been one of the best forwards in the Premier League for so long.Of course, Henry didn't just have a brush. He didn't slow down, but started a series of small steps - Henry once used this extraordinary method to shake four Tottenham Hotspurs in a row in the London Derby.  Thorns defender breaks the goal

    Although Dawson is very good, in Henry's opinion, he did not stop himself

    After making two very realistic fake moves to break into the middle of the penalty area, Henry quickly moved the ball to the side. For a shooter like him, a smaller angle does not have much impact.

    But Dawson¡¯s explosive power and reaction surprised Henry. After being shaken by Henry, Dawson moved sideways and stopped in front of Henry!

    Henry dunked the ball back with some helplessness. He had no chance to break through. After Dawson blocked it, Maicon behind him had already chased back at high speed, and was about to form a front-to-back double-team.

    With a quick glance, Henry saw his partner Adriano outflanking him from the other side, so he immediately chose to pass the ball - if he didn't pass the ball in time, Makelele would have almost returned to his defense.  When it is two against three, the possibility of scoring a goal will be much smaller.

    Makelele, who was immersed in running wildly, felt that his lungs were blowing out like an old bellows. He ran back to defend with all his life. He couldn't do much now. Just as he was running wildly  When he reached the top of the penalty area, he happened to see Henry's pass flying past his eyes!

    Without any time to think, Makelele immediately left the ground and made a flying tackle, about to intercept the ball in the middle!

    The ball hit Makelele's calf and bounced into the sky. Adriano reacted quickly and immediately jumped up and shot the ball in the air!

    Cech made a wonderful save, his fingertips touched the ball, and the ball changed direction and flew out of the baseline!

    Until this moment, Mourinho and Pei Wei were relieved, while Wenger suddenly raised his hand with a look of regret on his face.

    But for Arsenal, this attack is enough to warn Newcastle not to be too arrogant - this is Highbury!

    After this counterattack, Newcastle's offensive momentum eased, and Arsenal did not attack like they did in the first half - it seemed that the offense in the first half was also very draining for them.

    But now this situation is very unfavorable for Newcastle. The leading Arsenal can just grind with Newcastle until the end of the game, but Newcastle does not have such capital.

    The current situation has become like this. Newcastle is desperately trying to strengthen its offense and use fast-paced offense to find loopholes in Arsenal's defense. However, Arsenal is desperately trying to slow down the pace of the game and take their time with Newcastle.  In the midfield entanglement, Newcastle will definitely suffer from such entanglement, because Mak¨¦l¨¦l¨¦ can't help much offensively, Essien also has better defensive ability than offensive ability, and Arsenal's four midfielders are all technical.  Players, even Vieira's skills are much better than Makelele's.

    Faced with this situation, Mourinho quickly changed his tactical policy and asked Ribery to move forward to play as a winger. The midfield organization was left to Nie Fei alone, who tried his best to pass through the midfield to deal with Arsenal.  put pressure on the goal, but Campbell, whose condition has declined significantly since the beginning of this season, showed his peak state in this game. He seemed to be in a good position against the tall and strong Drogba, plus a godly help.  Lehmann, Newcastle passed the long ball for a long time and still couldn't score a goal.

    Although the situation on the field still seemed evenly divided, as time went by, the situation developed in a direction that was not conducive to Newcastle - no one cared about the goal when they conceded the first goal, but from now on, in the first half,  Henry's goal seemed decisive.

    It¡¯s not that Mourinho didn¡¯t make adjustments. He replaced Makelele with Janus to strengthen his midfield control, and then replaced Drogba with Shearer, who was beaten to death by Campbell, but he still  Unable to change the disadvantage on the field.

    When there were ten minutes left in the game, Mourinho broke the boat and replaced Bernard with Larsson, the last forward on hand, but Wenger also made immediate adjustments and replaced Swiss central defender Senderos.  Adriano and Gilberto Silva replaced Fabregas, and Arsenal began to switch to full defense.

    In the last ten minutes, Newcastle launched a fierce attack, but Arsenal defended extremely tightly. Even goalkeeper Cech joined the attack at the last moment, but there was still no way to defeat Arsenal's defense.

    When the final whistle sounded, Mourinho had no choice but to accept the defeat. He made no mistakes in the tactical arrangement, but in this gameSenna's players performed surprisingly well, while Newcastle's players were probably a little slack due to their winning streak in the previous period. They were not as good as Arsenal's players in performance. In the absence of an obvious gap in strength, the quality of the players' performance determines  victory in this game
