After completing the basic training, the Arsenal players gathered in the tactical room.
Everyone sat in rows, and Mourinho stood at the forefront.
On the slide screen, the words '38 rounds of tactics' were written impressively.
Although Arsenal has reached the Champions League final, for Arsenal, the top priority is the league championship game ahead of them.
The Champions League final will take place a week after the league ends.
During this time, Arsenal will also have to re-focus on the league.
Manchester City was eliminated from the Champions League. Without the pressure of the Champions League, their performance in the league has become better and better.
And Arsenal still needs to play in the Champions League final, the pressure on the two sides is completely different.
Fortunately, the Super League helped Arsenal change the schedule, allowing them to have a certain buffer time, otherwise they would really have to make difficult decisions about the Champions League and the league.
Of course, even with the schedule adjustments, Arsenal's situation is not much better.
The only gratification is that Mane's Champions League suspension has been contacted, and he can also exert his strength in the league.
Mourinho also said in his opening remarks:
"Be sure to be calm during the game, some actions that are not calm may affect the whole team and the key victory or defeat!"
Mourinho obviously said it to Mane, who also blushed.
The Arsenal players also let out a good-natured laugh, diluting the awkward atmosphere.
Mourinho also stopped talking, and he began to point to Manchester City's lineup for analysis.
I have to say that by the end of the season, Manchester City's performance was really strong.
Argentine center Aguero is in excellent form, scoring two goals in the last three games.
Sane performed equally well and became a great threat to Manchester City on the wing.
Mahrez, who had another accident, finally found his form after joining Manchester City for a year, and his performance after joining the team was extremely exciting.
The midfield is convenient, and the Manchester City midfielder headed by De Bruyne is also a very impactful combination.
Although David Silva is a bit old, he must not be underestimated.
Gundogan's performance has also become much calmer.
Needless to say De Bruyne.
This guy's assists have surpassed Lucky's by four goals, and he currently leads the Premier League.
The defense line combination is also extremely stable.
In this case, it is really not an easy task to beat Manchester City.
In fact, there is no way.
Liverpool has given a clear answer before.
That is to use crazy sprints to exert pressure, and cooperate with the pressing in the midfield to disrupt Manchester City's passing rhythm.
But Arsenal really can't do this kind of work.
Is the Champions League still playing?
Had it not been for the Champions League final, they might have actually done it.
The big deal is to run out of strength before the end of the season.
But the problem is that Liverpool is waiting there in the Champions League final, which makes Arsenal feel a little led by the nose, with too many restrictions.
In this case, Mourinho's solution is also very simple.
Defensive counterattack!
Maintaining the status quo!
This is the tactic Arsenal are currently best at.
On the basis of defense, use counterattack points to tear apart the opponent's line of defense and kill them with one blow.
In this tactic, Le Kai needs to take on the key work of playing the ball.
It can be said that Lucky's performance is directly linked to the result of the game.
There is a lot of pressure, but Mourinho trusts Lucky, or in other words, he believes that Lucky can perform to his satisfaction, after all, Lucky has never let him down.
But the foundation of all this must be built on defense.
Once the defense is unstable, everything is useless.
Therefore, we must resist Manchester City's offense and then limit it.
I talked a lot in eloquence, and Mourinho was very serious and careful in what he said, and the players also listened attentively.
In the last few minutes, Mourinho also announced the upcoming round of 37 games.
Tactics are this set of tactics.
It's time to test the stability of the defense on Burnley.
Burnley have played very well this season.
With only two goals left in the league, they are currently in 9th place in the league standings.
The European theater is out of play, but it won't be relegated.
For Burnley, as long as they can complete relegation, it is enough.
They didn't think too much about other problems either.
But now, they have completed the relegation ahead of schedule, so the overall state is extremely relaxed. Except for some players participating in the World Cup who are in the exciting period, everyone else has entered the state of vacation.
They don't care too much about the upcoming strong enemy, and even the head coach wants to try a new lineup to prepare for next season.
Facing this atmosphere, Arsenal came to Burnley, Lancashire.
There is a fiery atmosphere at Trammore Stadium.
The Burnley fans at the scene were all excited.
For the entire first half, they played against Arsenal.
Yes!
Visually, fans feel so excited about it.
After entering the second half, the situation is still the same.
Burnley played very proactively, although neither side scored, but the feeling of being able to suppress Arsenal is really good.
The fans were cheering, but they didn't know that the Burnley players in the field were really having a hard time.
"Hey! Run up!"
"There's no room for the ball!"
"Passback! Passback!"
"I'm behind!"
The Burnley players communicated loudly and started to pass the ball back at the same time.
So far in the game, the Burnley players look extremely tired.
They were obviously attacking, but they felt awkward playing. Arsenal's defense made them helpless, and Arsenal's counterattacks from time to time made them frightened.
"Burnley are passing back, the same sentence, although Burnley has possession of the ball, it is Arsenal who control the situation!"
Andy Gray said with a grin.
He was staggered by Arsenal's defensive ability in this game and their ability to control the situation in a defensive stance.
Few teams are able to control the situation while defending.
But Arsenal did just that.
This requires not only a stable defensive ability, but also a strong teamwork ability.
Obviously, Arsenal has both.
For this reason, it seems that Burnley has the advantage, but in fact it is Arsenal who give up the ball and focus on defensive counterattacks.
Arsenal's every counterattack is so sharp.
Maybe it will be able to blast through Burnley's goal next time, no one can say for sure.
Off the court, Mourinho was also sitting on the bench, and he was quite satisfied with the performance of the Gunners.
Although there are reasons for Burnley's weak strength, there is also Arsenal's stable performance in defense.
After experiencing the Champions League semi-finals with Real Madrid, Arsenal's overall state has dropped to another level.
But their psychology seems to have been sublimated. Everyone's performance is extremely calm, and the overall feeling is a sense of stability like a mountain.
Mourinho understands that this is the performance of the team's complete running-in after the war.
If Arsenal's main players gather at this time and maintain this state, Mourinho would dare to challenge Real Madrid to win at the Bernabeu.
However, at present, Arsenal's software has been run-in, but the hardware is flawed, and the injury cannot be treated in a short time.
Just when Mourinho was thinking about this, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Kante intercepted a pass from Burnley and sent a sliding tackle to Lucky.
But Le Kai faced the rolling ball without any hesitation at all, and directly passed the ball.
The ball landed precisely in the space behind Burnley, and Mane sprinted in pursuit.
During the period when he was suspended from the Champions League, Mane also suffocated.
At this time, it burst out in one breath, and the charge was extremely violent.
Unload the ball, stop suddenly, start quickly.
Mane pulled away with just a simple movement, and quickly squeezed inward.
Just as the opponent's full-back was about to make a move, Mane tapped with the outside of his foot.
Giroud is already at the fulcrum position.
Giroud first glanced at Mane, and then made a knock back action, but the action did not touch the ball.
The ball continued to roll back from Giroud's feet.
And there, Aubameyang sprints forward and shoots the ball.
The ball rolled along the left post and into the goal.
In 77 minutes, Arsenal relied on a counterattack to get the leading goal.
This goal appeared extremely abruptly, which also made the noisy Burnley home court suddenly quiet.
