After returning to the locker room during the halftime interval, Bosque immediately made tactical adjustments.
His adjustments were aimed at Arsenal's crazy state in the second half of the first half.
Snede retreated and shared the task of organizing the midfield with Guti, so that there would be more midfield pivot points after the successful defense in the middle and backfield. At the same time, Robben's position moved forward!
In fact, this was a change of formation, asymmetrical 4-3-3!
A three-striker formation!
After Bosque's adjustments, Qin Xiong sat in his seat and drank water. He suddenly spoke, which was rare, but when he wanted to say something, his teammates would listen attentively.
"I've played for the Dutch and English teams before, and I've also played against many teams in Europe.
The feeling I get is that two or three years ago, the Premier League teams did show extraordinary physical fitness and confrontation. But in the last two years, the Premier League teams, especially the powerhouses, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, have developed this extraordinary aspect into an advantage over the other league teams!
This kind of advantage will make the rhythm of the game completely uncontrollable. In a fast-paced game with a high intensity and a large margin for error, the Premier League teams can instead make up for the weakness of their own rough technical ability and use the impact of big moves to break down their opponents.
Arsenal is actually not as good as the other three Premier League teams in terms of physical confrontation, but they are more outstanding than the other three Premier League teams in terms of the overall technical ability of the players and their ability to cooperate in a small area.
To beat them, or to be prepared in the confrontation with the Premier League teams, then we have to run more than usual and be braver in the confrontation!
Sometimes it makes the game a game, but I think the football game is a competitive sport that challenges the heart. If we don't dare to take greater risks, then we will be very passive against the Premier League teams.
We are now in the lead, but in order to get the result we want in the game, we have to pay more! "
After Qin Xiong's voice fell, his teammates nodded repeatedly in the locker room, and Robben added a few words.
"He's right. The Premier League games are full of drama and emotions, but it is this impact at all costs that often has a decisive effect on the game. If we think we can sit back and relax, then it's a big mistake. The Premier League powerhouses will seize the opponent's relaxation, even if it's a weakness. They will do their best to fight until the situation is completely reversed! We can't take it lightly. "
The communication between teammates was purely for the team's benefit, which everyone understood. There was no lesson from Qin Xiong and Robben trying to show any sense of superiority.
After they were mentally prepared and walked out of the locker room, the Real Madrid players' mental outlook was refreshed.
The two teams switched sides played played again.
Arsenal took the lead in the kickoff. After the kickoff, Henry received Adebayor's pass and then charged alone!
Henry, who charged alone, surprised Qin Xiong. Even though Qin Xiong did the same thing when he kicked off in the first half, he was a little caught off guard when Henry did it.
He and Raúl were easily shaken off by Henry's sudden burst of acceleration.
The King of Shots showed the dribbling rhythm that everyone was familiar with. Henry's dribbling focused on the sense of rhythm. A slight pause would disrupt the defensive players' defensive thinking, and then suddenly accelerate to shake off the opponent.
After flicking the ball horizontally in front of Guti and shaking him off, Henry suddenly turned the ball back and stopped when Diarra tried to block with all his strength. He waited for Diarra to lose his balance before he successfully broke through diagonally.
Coming to the front of the penalty area, Henry volleyed the ball to the goal with his outside instep.
Unlike Qin Xiong's shot in the opening stage of the first half, Henry's shot hit the bullseye, but the angle was not tricky and was easily confiscated by Casillas.
Henry saw that his shot did not receive a reward, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he jogged back in a relaxed manner.
The Gunners fans in the stands of the Emirates Stadium cheered with joy.
It was clear that Henry was still Real Madrid's individual heroism performance.
It helped to increase the team's confidence.
Don't think that only Real Madrid had people who could do this!
Arsenal had it too!
The former Champions League champion was not a pushover!
Henry relied on his own individual performance to create momentum for Arsenal, which not only helped to boost Arsenal's morale, but also made Real Madrid a little panic in the second half!
Could they really take the risk?
If Henry was given more space, could he not put on a show?
That was Henry!
He wasn't a nobody!
In the 49th minute of the game, Snede sent a high ball pass from the midfield to the front field. Qin Xiong headed the ball before Flamini in front of the penalty area. He headed the ball deep into the right flank of the penalty area.
Robben, who had turned into a winger, was faster to successfully cut inside. After he controlled the ball in front of the end line, he swept the ball directly to the goal.
Raúl was sandwiched by Senderos and Gallas as he rushed forward to snatch the ball and eventually fell on the line of the small penalty area. The football quickly rolled in front of his eyes to the other side of the road.
Raúl stood up after the roll to protest to the referee. He indicated that his jersey was grabbed by Senderos and his leg was tripped by Gallas!
But the referee did not say anything, which made Raúl extremely angry!
Raúl, who had always been very gracious on the field, did not explode by chance this time. With his rich experience, he knew that if he could snatch the ball and break the goal, this goal would change the situation and atmosphere of the game!
That would create an extremely painful blow for Arsenal!
But such an opportunity was not missed by him, but he thought that the opponent had fouled!
He should get the penalty kick and should make a contribution to the team!
He should push Real Madrid forward!
Because he was the prince of Bernabéu and the captain of Real Madrid!
But the referee mercilessly ignored his protest.
Touré immediately spurred the attack after he controlled the ball on the right flank. He passed the ball to Eboue in front, who knocked the ball horizontally to the middle.
Fàbregas nimbly ran to get rid of Guti and used the instep of his outside foot to push the ball out. Then he stuck his foot close to the ground and sent the ball out diagonally!
Henry's left-leaning attacking habits were known to the world, so Ramos on this side was very nervous!
He was very wary of Henry cutting inside. Seeing that Henry might receive the ball in the direction of the ball rolling, Ramos was even ready to grab Henry's jersey.
But in front of the penalty area, Hleb suddenly rushed out from the flank and took the lead to take the ball horizontally!
Ramos was dumbfounded. Wenger on the sidelines clenched his fists subconsciously. He naturally had his own ideas and arrangements in creating tactics.
Henry was the number one threat, and he was the best cover for Hleb.
Hleb cut horizontally into the front of the penalty area. He passed the ball horizontally to Adebayor, who ran over to receive him. The latter directly diagonally passed the ball into the penalty area, in front of Hleb's straight running position!
What a wonderful teamwork!
Hleb rushed straight into the penalty area to form a single blade!
But Casillas had already abandoned the goal and left. Hleb barely lifted his foot, but the imposing Casillas directly opened his arms and slapped the ball out!
Diarra cleared the ball with a big kick outside the penalty area.
Casillas stood up from the ground, clenched his fists and roared!
Saint Casillas' roar seemed to shake the entire Emirates Stadium!
Like a god!
