Chapter 172: If the problem arises, it needs to be solved!

In the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, the "Youth Guards" who were able to produce their new tactics for the first time.

The Gunners Arsenal was also shocked after seeing Leeds United's new tactics. They no longer need to understand how strong Shaq's personal ability is, because the entire English football world already knows Shaq very well. This 21-year-old midfielder is an absolute all-round monster.

Leeds United used to play the front tactics of the midfielder for a while, but they gave up this tactics afterwards. It seems that Shaq can only play all his role in the midfield and backcourt, but now Simon Grayson push Shaq to the frontcourt again. Why is this?

Do you still have to play the front of the back!?

Those who are a little familiar with the profession would not think so, because in Leeds United's new tactics, Shaq was followed by a 17-year-old midfielder Ashley Hood from Thorpe Arch. It seems that Shaq's mission is obviously not for defense.

Could it be... Shaq wants to show his offensive talent!?

This...is unlikely!?

According to Shaq's past experience, this forward-born midfielder actually does not have any offensive talent. He is simply a wall that can move when defending. It is very difficult for anyone to break through in front of him, but when attacking... Shaq is a little weak!

Unless it is in the so-called "Shak area", Shak's high-quality long shot is extremely threatening.

With full of suspicion, Arsenal started the game carefully, but after playing for more than ten minutes, they found that Shaq, whose position moved to the front midfielder, did not perform well, and even the connection between him and Tevez and Ameobi was not as close as before.

So—the gunmen began to fight back!

At 21 minutes of the game, Arsenal got the opportunity to counterattack. Arteta's straight pass from the diagonal line gave Walcott the "little tiger" wearing the No. 8 jersey a chance to play his greatest advantage. He fully exerted his speed during the diagonal line. However, with his speed, he forced the last defender of Leeds United...Caruzzo.

Walcott started dribbling the ball from where he had not crossed the center line. Then he rushed forward, rushed, rushed, and arrived at the Leeds United penalty area.

Although Ronegan abandoned the goal and attacked, Walcott did not play with his skills at all. Instead, he pushed the ball horizontally to the front right, changed direction and chased the ball again, and then shot low and sent the ball into the empty goal of Leeds United.

"goal!goal!!!!!!goallllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal fans shouted hysterically and frantically. They finally saw the hope of the team defeating Leeds United again. The last time they defeated Leeds United was on March 9, 2013. It has been almost a year since the two teams' last five games. The Gunners are at a disadvantage with 2 wins and 3 losses. Only by winning this game can they tie.

After the game started again, Leeds United still had a hard time playing. Simon Grayson watched the game off the court, and his eyebrows squeezed a bump in his eyebrows. He didn't understand why Shaq couldn't even hit the threatening long shot in the past after he reached the front midfielder. What was going on!?

If it were the past, Simon Grayson would only adjust Shaq's position backwards and then solve the problem, but now he would not do this, because Shaq has shown very strong attacking ability in his daily training. His oxtail is superb, and he is no less than Ronaldo before. What's even more abnormal is that he can use his oxtail on both feet, but in today's game, Shaq not only did not use his oxtail, but also had no oxtail at all!

What exactly went wrong?

Simon Grayson did not find out the crux of the matter, but he was still almost stubborn and did not make any adjustments to his team. He would rather believe that this was because Shaq was not ready to provide assistance to the team's offense, but Shaq's football talent was completely abnormal, and maybe he could adapt to his new position in the next minute!

Simon Grayson waited for 42 minutes. During the attack, Leeds United made a cross from Tevez on the right, and surrounded Shaq in front of Arsenal goal on the left, and under the interference of Kyle Bartley, he swung his head and sent the ball into the small penalty area on the right.

"Big Big Black" Ameobi finally arrived, but his natural slow movement frequency delayed his shooting speed. Kieran Gibbs flexibly slid down the ground and hooked the ball back into the middle penalty area.

Seeing that Francis Kirklin was about to receive the ball, Leeds United's very threatening attack was about to be stopped, a Leeds player wearing a white jersey and brown-skinned skin arrived...Ashley Hood!

"Bang!"

Ashley Hood used his body to block Francis Kirklin, and then knocked the ball back against the ball with his right foot!

Arsenal goalkeeper No. 21 Fabianski has already judged the right direction, but although Ashley Hood's shooting level is not as terrible as Shaq, fortunately, the place where he kicks is only near the free throw point, and he shoots violently at such a close distance. As long as the ball does not fly, misses and hits too straight, basically all the goalkeeper can do is raise his hand... surrender!

"Swish!"

The flying ball hit the ball net and fell unwillingly...1:1!

When Leeds United celebrated the goal, head coach Simon Grayson was not too excited. He just slapped and encouraged it and it was done because he didn't see what he wanted from this goal. Although Shaq also made efforts in the process of the goal, this method... was not what he wanted!

After the game entered the second half, Leeds United still could not take the initiative in the game. The domineering aura they showed in previous games is now completely unseen, and the "Solar System Tactics" has completely changed. Shaq could not find any feeling in the game. Although he had more than 95% pass success rate in the game, he also had headers, steals, and interceptions, but the number of shots was only a pitiful 3 times, and he got much less opportunities than before.

In today's game, Shaq... performed poorly!

Moreover, Leeds United's left offensive system "Leeds Three Musketeers" have no performance. Fortunately, Leeds United now does not rely solely on Shaq or can only rely on "Leeds Three Musketeers" to attack. They already have other weapons, otherwise they would not be able to lead the league standings.

When the game reached 82 minutes, the score on the field was still tied 1:1, and Pivkovsky suddenly broke out at this moment. After passing Gibbs on the right, he rushed forward all the way. After seeing the "black guy" running into the Arsenal penalty area, the Swedish boy stuffed the ball into the diagonal line.

"Bang!"

Ameobi was not greedy for merit. Instead, he turned around and swept the ball into the middle. The "Beast" Tevez, who happened to follow in place, took advantage of the situation. After a "bang", the ball rushed into Arsenal's goal like lightning... 2:1, Leeds United reversed the game!

Fabianski didn't react this time, all he could do was... turn his head and watch the ball fly into his own goal.

The Gunners finally failed to win the game in front of 60,000 Arsenal fans at Emirates Stadium. They were reversed by Leeds United with a score of 1:2 with a goal. At the post-match press conference, Professor Wenger even directly said the facts: "I regret to see. My team is missing something now. We failed to continue to expand the results when we were leading 1:0. In the end, Leeds United won by the not-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so

Four days later, Leeds United will meet Arsenal again in the 22nd round of the Premier League, and they will play away at the Emirates Stadium. The first leg of the League Cup semi-finals is just a preview. What is really important is the collision between the two teams in the league.

Although Leeds United ranks first, the Gunners are also ranked third, and this game can be regarded as a top-notch battle!

In fact, Simon Grayson, who won the game, also has the same mind as Wenger. In his tactical vision, Shaq should provide great help to his team's offense, but in today's game, Shaq not to mention scoring, even the chance to shoot was only 4 times. Other players are the closer they are to the goal, and the more threatening they are. Why is Shaq going to be the other way around?

Something is wrong!

There must be something wrong here!

If the cause cannot be found to solve the problem, Leeds United's new tactic will be dead. Simon Grayson and Eric Black have discussed this new tactic early in the morning. They all believe that such tactical adjustments can increase the team's attack power, the thickness and density of the midfield, and the team's defense will not decline significantly. Once successful, it will definitely further enhance the strength of the "Young Guards", so... we must not give up easily!

In fact, the most depressing person in this game was Shaq himself. He really did his best. The 13.7 kilometers of running the whole game was enough to show how hard he was. Moreover, he successfully passed 34 times 35 times, steals 4 times, 3 headers, 3 interceptions, and 1 time to pass.

These data can show that Shaq is still performing normally in the game, but Shaq has a very awkward feeling. He is no longer the young boy he used to be. Now he is also a "veteran" with experience in 143 club professional games and 23 international games, so whether he played well or not, he actually doesn't need to look at the data to feel it.

In today's game... Shaq felt like he couldn't use it!

This... is absolutely abnormal!
