After the opening contact, both sides began to understand the opponent's ability. After Arsenal failed to make a surprise attack after the opening, they indeed began to shrink their defense. The three midfielders were slightly behind, one was in front, and the wing forwards on both wings often participated in defense near the bottom line. Only one Henry and one Fabregas were involved in counterattacks, while Mallorca took over the control of the midfield and then kept looking for opportunities to attack.

Kaka's long shot outside the penalty area missed the far post, but Mallorca's offense did not stop. They continued to look for opportunities in the midfield. At the same time, on defense, Matias followed Henry. Although his speed was very different from Henry, his victory was due to his outstanding physical fitness. It was not easy for Henry to get rid of Matias's follow-up when he was not receiving the ball. Alonso sacrificed his offensive ability more and followed Fabregas with his physical advantage. After controlling these two points, Mallorca's offense seemed even more unscrupulous.

Arsenal's defense is quite strict. They have enough defenders in the backcourt and are used to the rhythm of the Premier League. Their defensive players are also very active in running, running and an overall defensive system. Such defense looks solid enough. Although Mallorca has the advantage in the midfield, it is not easy to get enough opportunities.

In this case, Mallorca needs to seize opportunities better because they will get less opportunities than usual.

In the 12th minute, Maicon, who had assisted, made a pass at a 45-degree angle. Klose stretched out his foot to remove the ball in the penalty area, but was quickly used by Toure, who had filled up the ball and broke the ball out of the baseline. Alonso took the corner kick, and Mattias grabbed the first point, but pushed the ball high under the interference of Sendros.

In the fifteenth minute, Kaka successfully intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, and then dribbled the ball and forced it into the penalty area, but hit the ball high under the attack of Ebue and Gilberto Silva.

In the 18th minute, Mallorca made a wonderful cooperation. After receiving Alonso's pass, Kaka used his personal skills to break through from the left and broke through to the bottom line. After breaking through the opponent's two opponents, Senna, who unexpectedly inserted an assist, received Kaka's pass at the front point, and then quickly knocked back. Macon, who inserted the assist in the penalty area, pushed the ball directly towards the ball, but Leman made a wonderful save. He quickly sat down when he fell to the ground and couldn't save it. His feet stretched out and barely touched the ball. The ball changed direction and rolled out of the bottom line!

The Mallorca fans in the stands let out a huge sigh. This was the best opportunity for Mallorca since the start of the game. This offense also fully demonstrated their characteristics of mercury leaping in the frontcourt. The final key attack was the midfielder and full-back. The other offensive players were involved in the running back and forth in other positions, which created more space for other players who were inserted behind. However, Lehmann saved Arsenal this wonderful save!

"No wonder Wenger used this tactic. Lehman was in such a good state, and it would be a waste if he didn't use this tactic." Jose touched his chin and thought, a game-type goalkeeper in good condition was simply a necessary condition for retracting defense. The more he was surrounded by the opponent, the more likely he was to make a magical save.

Moreover, Arsenal's defense is indeed very good. In addition to this attack just now, Mallorca's other offenses will always be disturbed immediately when shooting. Although this approach is due to these factors that have strong defense ability and fill-up awareness, Arsenal's defense line is a whole, and there are basically no defensive gaps that will have a lot to do with it.

"Continue to attack like before, take attention and shoot through the back row." Jose called out Alonso and said a few words to him. Alonso nodded, and then ran to the court.

In the following time, Mallorca's offense began to become more patient. The two full-backs began to frequently advance, and instead of just stubbornly, they kept entering the penalty area to break through directly. The passing of the midfield was dazzling, and everyone was constantly changing positions. You can often see Macon and Ram rushing into Arsenal's penalty area, and you can also see Torres and Klose running to the midfield to organize. The position on the field was completely blurred, making Arsenal's defense very difficult.

Wenger couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene. Of course, he knew what this kind of attack meant. This offensive method that completely blurred the position on the field is simply a natural enemy of man-taught tactics. The worst thing is that Mallorca's players really have such ability. Almost everyone on the field has the ability to score. This season's eleven main players, including Senna, who scored the least goals, also scored a goal. Like two full-backs, they almost have the forward shooting skills. They rarely miss it when they have the opportunity. Such tactics are quite troublesome to defend.

Fortunately, Arsenal's defense is regional defense and will not be easily pulled apart, but if you continue like this, it will inevitably be a mess.

In this situation, we have to use offense to reduce the pressure on the defense line, at least not let Mallorca's defensive players push the attack without any scruples. However, Mallorca's defense against Fabregas and Henry is quite successful, and it is also very beneficial to suppress others, and it will hardly give Arsenal much chance to counterattack.

Seeing this situation, Wenger frowned. It was obvious that Mallorca's tactics were quite targeted. They seemed very cautious when attacking, and they controlled the ball firmly under their feet, not giving Arsenal any chance to counterattack. At the same time, they almost gradually compressed Arsenal's activity space, just like a large army with an advantage in numbers, never advancing, but simply oppressing the opponent's formation step by step. In this case, no matter how many wonderful ideas are, they can only honestly compete with the opponent's strength...

Wenger's on-site command ability is indeed not outstanding. At least in this case, he can't think of any way. The only thing that makes him feel relieved is that the team performed well. Under the attack like Mallorca, he still resisted Mallorca's attack and did not appear at a time when it was not too dangerous...

"If I can hold on in the first half, I need to adjust it in the second half. At least I can't be beaten like this, as that will be too passive." Wenger thought to himself.

The Arsenal players on the court also knew that they could not be beaten passively, so they began to try to counterattack. Fabregas finally got the ball after retreating to his half. He could not cooperate with Henry at this distance. Seeing Heleb asking for the ball near the side, Fabregas immediately passed the ball!

After breaking through Cole's defense, Macon strongly pulled the ball to the goal - this was learned from his compatriot Robert Carlos. Carlos often chose this method when crossing at a relatively close range, which could easily lead to an owned defender.

The ball flew directly from the penalty area, and no one could touch the ball. Torres and Klose's fall tackle were slower, while Toure and Sendros were unable to clear the ball in time...

A figure flashed behind!

A small figure hit the ball before Ebue - he almost bumped into the ground, and then he didn't know which part of his body hit the ball - it wasn't his arm anyway. When the ball was hit by him, the ball that was originally rolling in the small penalty area immediately changed direction and flew into the goal. Leman turned around and saw the ball hit the net!

The Arsenal Champions League record of not conceding goals is frozen in the 878th minute!
