During halftime, in addition to instructing all the players to maintain their intensity and strengthen their defense, Falk specifically asked Phillip to test the referee's standards at the start of the second half.

Because the referee was extremely strict at the beginning of the match, but after twenty minutes, the standards relaxed a lot.

Especially Leitman's flying tackle, which was definitely worthy of a red card, but he showed leniency and only gave a yellow card.

"Referees are also human. Once they relax their standards, as long as it's not too excessive, it's difficult for them to be strict again!

He only gave Leitman a yellow card for that kind of dangerous move, so he won't be too harsh on us next. Find out his refereeing standards, and then try to defend according to those standards as much as possible.

When you really can't defend, foul decisively! Cut off Arsenal's rhythm and make it very uncomfortable for them to play!

Understand??"

Seeing the players nod, Falk nodded as well.

"From the beginning, we were not the favored side, but we have been winning! This time, we must seize the opportunity again!

Get the ball to Zhao! He will get the ball to the feet of the striker! He will let the person rushing to the front receive the ball and then send it into the net! Understand?"

"When Zhao gets the ball, what are you going to do??" Falk pointed at Shiro, Phillip, and Ospina.

"Run!!"

"That's right, run forward! Don't worry about being offside, he will definitely pass the ball at the most comfortable angle to the right person, run! Run like crazy!!"

Falk clapped his hands, and the players stood up, bouncing up and down, and ran towards the player tunnel.

Falk grabbed Zhao Gang, "You are really a genius. Whether facing a Championship team or a Premier League team, whether it's a Manchester United team with internal strife or a united Arsenal, you can always pass the ball. From the beginning, I had no way to deal with a team like Arsenal, but you gave me, gave all the players hope! Keep it up! Everyone will defend desperately, they will stand behind you, and all the dirty work will be taken care of!

Don't get hurt! Don't fight for the ball! If you want to show yourself, use passing, use goals!

Don't use defense, understand??"

Falk repeatedly urged him. Leitman's foul in the first half made Falk break out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Gang is now not only the team's offensive core but also the player the management is most concerned about.

The management's meaning is very clear, at least he can't get injured in Norwich.

In fact, Falk didn't care about the management's thoughts at all. He didn't want Zhao Gang to suffer huge injuries due to Norwich's intensive schedule and his coach's formation.

"Coach, if there is no fighting and confrontation, is it still football? It's more suitable to play marbles." Zhao Gang glanced at Falk, and Falk's face was helpless.

"Of course, I will listen to the coach." Zhao Gang added.

Although his interception, tackles, and headers are terrible, they have improved a bit with training and matches.

Although his dribbling is not professional, his ability to protect the ball with his body is much stronger than when he was in the training camp, and this kind of ball protection ability is not provided by the system.

If you keep training and playing games, the ratings can be improved through your own efforts.

"Well, at least listen to me in this game. Don't put too much energy on defense. You can run more freely in the league." Falk thought for a while, "Go, and let the Carrow Road fans cheer to their hearts' content with your teammates!"

With a whistle, the second half of the game begins!

Switching halves, Arsenal kicks off!

"The goal before the end of the first half filled Norwich's players with fighting spirit! Their mental outlook is even better than at the beginning of the game!" Shen Jian watched the midfielders running non-stop, trying hard to prevent Arsenal's passing and cutting coordination, and said with emotion.

Defense!

Hold on!

Find opportunities for Zhao Gang!

Arsenal's players are also not like they were at the beginning of the game.

Norwich's equalizing goal made them pay special attention to this team.

What's even more difficult is that they are now playing with one less player!

Then, controlling the ball more will reduce the pressure on the defense.

If they were facing Premier League opponents like Manchester City, Chelsea, or Liverpool, they might have to shrink back and defend with one less player, but facing a team like Norwich with generally weaker players, their methods are very clear.

Ball control.

Attack is the best form of defense.

Rosicky passed the ball to Cazorla. As a midfield engine, Cazorla quickly got rid of a defender after receiving the ball.

He looked up, and almost all of his teammates had pressed forward.

The two full-backs directly took away the defenders, and he passed the ball straight through, finding the supporting center forward, the big Giroud.

The big Giroud has a very strong heading ability, but what is even stronger is his fancy footwork.

As a center forward, he has rare assist ability and passing vision.

After receiving the ball, two central defenders immediately leaned over.

The big Giroud couldn't turn around at all, but he aimed at the opportunity and stuffed the ball to Sanchez's feet through the gap between the people.

The skills of South American players have always been top-notch, and Sanchez also has a strong body and impact.

His core strength is extremely outstanding, so it is difficult for ordinary defenders to defend him alone.

After receiving the ball, he seemed to have stopped a little too far. The Norwich left-back saw the opportunity and rushed forward, only to be knocked to the ground by Sanchez. Then, he hooked back the ball and rushed into the penalty area in a few steps!

"Oh, this kind of fifty-fifty ball will not be called! It's dangerous!!" Shen Jian stared at Sanchez rushing in. The center back could only rush to fill the position, and the goalkeeper also nervously blocked the near corner.

"There is no shooting route, but the middle is empty!" Shen Jian saw Giroud's position. If it is passed, it will be a big trouble!

But Sanchez didn't see Giroud following up in the middle at all. He shifted his weight and easily shook the center back in front of him to the ground, nimbly dodging his position.

Bang!

A powerful shot, trying to hit the goalkeeper with a small shot.

The goalkeeper opened his arms to increase the defensive area, and at the same time quickly lowered his center of gravity and closed his legs.

This is the most basic training for goalkeepers.

In fact, if the ball is too fast, the ball will have already entered the net when the goalkeeper realizes the shooting route.

So these movements are all conditioned reflexes formed in thousands of trainings to increase their defensive area.

"This ball was defended beautifully by Hull! Ah... of course, Sanchez's shot was also very beautiful..." Shen Jian saw the ball being caught directly by the goalkeeper and almost jumped up. He reacted and hurriedly added a sentence, objective, objective.

You can't have too many subjective impressions.

Sanchez hugged his head, somewhat annoyed.

Giroud spread his hands, empty! Empty, brother!

If you gave it to me, it would have gone in!

When the two were frustrated, Hull didn't stop for a moment, took the ball, and threw it forward with all his strength!

Zhao Gang, who had not been defending and seemed to be walking around watching the excitement, suddenly accelerated.

There were no defenders around him at all!

Because he was like an outsider, Arsenal had been playing ten against ten!

Whoosh!!

The three people who were originally defending, Shiro, Ospina, and Phillip, rushed up like they were robbing money.

Shiro gritted his teeth, his face grim, swinging his arms.

Ospina didn't look at anything, lowered his head, and sprinted like a train.

Phillip on the wing was relatively normal, constantly looking up to observe Zhao Gang's side.

As a midfielder, observing the situation has become a habit, but his speed is not slow either.

Rosicky felt a gust of wind beside him, and when he looked up, he was stunned. These guys just rushed like that? Aren't they afraid of the ball being intercepted and a defensive counterattack?
