Primer Tiempo

A pesar de lo que podamos analizar en la previa del partido que el Arsenal debería ser el claro dominador del partido, las urracas con sus buenos jugadores le roban la posesión del balón al equipo de Arteta y terminan siendo el equipo con la iniciativa y que marca el ritmo del tiempo, algo que desde el punto de vista estratégico es bastante importante, sobre todo ante este equipo del Arsenal que tiende a desorganizarse defensivamente ante el dominio del rival.

Uno de las piezas fundamentales para el equipo de las urracas es el brasileño Bruno Guimarães, jugador que tuvo minutos excepcionales en este partido, siendo el jugador que realiza el trabajo táctico de dominar el mediocampo, administrando la posesión y el tiempo, creo que es un jugador a tener en cuenta en las próximas temporadas y este partido ha sido una vitrina para ver a esos buenos jugadores del equipo del Newcastle. A final del partido logra convertir el gol que termina sepultando las aspiraciones de los gunners para apropiarse del cuarto puesto de la tabla en esta fecha de liga. En mi opinión este fue el jugador más destacado de este partido y creo que muchos analistas coincidirán en mi percepción.

Otro buen jugador es el francés Saint-Maximin, jugador con muy buena habilidad para el desplazamiento y que en el uno contra uno puede ser mortal, este jugador de 25 años juega en la banda izquierda, con su habilidad se cierra al centro del campo para perfilarse con su mejor pierna y disparar al arco, otro jugador bastante interesante de este equipo del Newcastle.

A pesar del dominio de las urracas, el Arsenal pudo aguantar el 0-0 durante el primer tiempo, esto debido a que no pudo ser profundo en los atacas, a pesar de ciertos parpadeos en ataque, el Arsenal no inquieta al arquero rival.

Segundo Tiempo

El segundo tiempo reúne todas las emociones faltantes en la primera mitad y ciertas circunstancias interesantes desde un punto de vista táctico. Un autogol de White desdibuja toda la estrategia de Arteta, sin embargo, para los que veíamos el partido en vivo, era algo que parecía solo cuestión de tiempo antes de que la defensa del Arsenal se viera vulnerada.

Cambio de Táctica

Luego de verse contra las cuerdas ante la inminente derrota, el técnico español decide apostar todo a este encuentro y sacrifica a un defensor central por un jugador totalmente ofensivo como lo es Pépé. Esto demuestra la desesperación en combinación de frustración por parte del técnico a causa de que se le escapa de las manos la posibilidad de jugar en Champions League.

Otro cambio obvio fue el colocar en el campo a Martinelli, aunque representó un cambio posicional más no táctico, le dio algo de frescura a la banda izquierda, a pesar de los intentos de Arteta de impulsar desde el banquillo a equipo, los jugadores no respondieron adecuadamente ante esta importante situación.

El espacio dejado por el cambio de Pépé propicia rápidas incursiones de las urracas, el segundo gol de Newcastle fue un duro golpe psicológico para los gunners, que si bien se posicionaron en terreno rival no hubo mucho peligro para el arquero rival, faltaron ideas para el ataque en la última zona del campo, los jugadores se vieron incomodos y superados por los defensores que se replegaban de manera ordenada y efectiva.

Un jugador que salió aplaudido del campo de juego fue Wilson un jugador que literalmente se jugó el físico en este partido perdiendo un diente en un choque con un rival, siendo determinante en el error del White en su autogol y casi convirtiendo en un par de oportunidades, el delantero pudo dominar a placer a los defensores y mediocampistas del Arsenal abriendo espacio para sus compañeros, el estadio lo aplaude de pie ante su salida.

Debo decir que en los últimos minutos del encuentro se sentía la sensación de que Arteta había hecho correctamente los cambios según la disponibilidad y exceptuando la lesión del nipón Tomiyasu que fue sustituido por Soares. En mi humilde opinión este resultado es propiciado por aspectos psicológicos en los jugadores en lugar de un mal planteamiento táctico o estratégico.

Arsenal con un Pie en la Europa League

Lamentablemente para el equipo de Arteta se le escurre de entre las manos la posibilidad de participar en la Champions League, dependiendo de un milagro en la ultima fecha, ganarle al Everton para los gunners no es necesariamente algo muy lejano, sin embargo, el Tottenham debe perder ante Norwich, equipo ya descendido a segunda división y ultimo de la tabla, una combinación de circunstancias que no son imposibles, pero si bastante difícil.

Siempre he comentado que este equipo le cuesta mucho este tipo de partidos, quizás es la falta de experiencia de sus jóvenes pero que otorgan a los aficionados un sabor amargo luego de haberle ganado muy bien a equipos como el Chelsea y al Manchester Uniter, se descompone el equipo a partir de la goleada sufrida por su principal rival el Tottenham.

⚽️ Newcastle Vs Arsenal (2-0) ⚽️

[English Version]

The Premier League is at a highly exciting point, both at the top for the crowning of the champion and for the places in European competitions, even at the bottom of the table there is a fierce fight to avoid relegation to the second division. These are the moments when this sport is most enjoyable, when a point or a goal can totally change the future of the team, the hearts of the fans begin to beat stronger and stronger as we approach the last day of the league.

The Fight for Fourth Place: Tottenham and Arsenal

I have been closely following the last available Champions League spot, a fierce battle in which two important North London clubs, Tottenham and Arsenal, are now battling it out. The match I want to analyze today gives a clear advantage to Tottenham in this duel, however, we must wait until the last match to know who is the worthy competitor that will participate in the most prestigious tournament at club level in the world.

Tottenham has fulfilled the objective of winning against Burnley, so Arsenal drags the enormous pressure to see Spurs momentarily on top of the table, a psychological condition to take into account in this match since many of their players are young and do not have the experience in this type of mentally complex situations.

Strategy

Arsenal will play their classic lineup for this match, a 4-3-3 that without the ball becomes a 4-2-3-1, it must be taken into account that the Gunners have very important injuries among which Thomas Partey stands out, so Arteta bets on Elneny who has consolidated his participation after a good performance against Chelsea.

In the central defense are Gabriel and White, Tomuyasu on the right flank, which seems to me a good fullback who in this opportunity is given the confidence overcoming Soares, the other fullback is Muno Tavares, a player with very good projection, but with a somewhat awkward back when defending. In the offensive zone the young Saka along with Smith Rowe and Nketiah who has earned Arteta's trust.

First Half

Despite what we can analyze in the preview of the match that Arsenal should be the clear dominator of the match, the Magpies with their good players steal possession of the ball from Arteta's team and end up being the team with the initiative and that sets the pace of time, something that from a strategic point of view is quite important, especially against this Arsenal team that tends to disorganize defensively before the dominance of the rival.

One of the fundamental pieces for the Magpies team is the Brazilian Bruno Guimarães, player who had exceptional minutes in this match, being the player who performs the tactical work of dominating the midfield, managing possession and time, I think he is a player to take into account in the coming seasons and this match has been a showcase to see those good players of the Newcastle team. At the end of the game he manages to convert the goal that ends up burying the aspirations of the Gunners to take over the fourth place in the table on this league date. In my opinion this was the most outstanding player of this match and I think many analysts will agree with my perception.

Another good player is the French player Saint-Maximin, a player with a very good ability to move and that in one on one can be deadly, this 25 year old player plays on the left wing, with his ability he closes to the center of the field to profile with his best leg and shoot at the goal, another very interesting player of this Newcastle team.

Despite the Magpies' dominance, Arsenal were able to hold on to the 0-0 scoreline for the first half, this was due to the fact that they could not get deep in attack, despite some attacking flashes, Arsenal did not trouble the goalkeeper.

Second Half

The second half brings together all the emotions missing in the first half and some interesting circumstances from a tactical point of view. An own goal by White blurs Arteta's entire strategy, however, for those of us watching the game live, it was something that seemed only a matter of time before Arsenal's defense was breached.

Change of tactics

After finding himself on the ropes in the face of imminent defeat, the Spanish coach decided to go all out in this match and sacrificed a central defender for an attacking player like Pépé. This shows the desperation combined with frustration on the part of the coach as the possibility of playing in the Champions League slips through his fingers.

Another obvious change was the introduction of Martinelli, although it represented a positional change rather than a tactical one, it gave some freshness to the left wing, despite Arteta's attempts to push the team from the bench, the players did not respond adequately to this important situation.

The space left by Pépé's substitution led to quick incursions by the Magpies, Newcastle's second goal was a hard psychological blow for the Gunners, although they were positioned in the opponent's field, there was not much danger for the goalkeeper, there was a lack of ideas for the attack in the last area of the field, the players were uncomfortable and overpowered by the defenders who retreated in an orderly and effective way.

A player who was applauded from the field was Wilson, a player who literally played his physical in this game losing a tooth in a collision with a rival, being decisive in the mistake of White in his own goal and almost converting in a couple of opportunities, the striker was able to dominate at will the defenders and midfielders of Arsenal opening space for his teammates, the stadium applauds him standing before his departure.

I must say that in the last minutes of the game there was a feeling that Arteta had made the right changes according to availability and except for the injury of the Japanese Tomiyasu who was replaced by Soares. In my humble opinion this result is brought about by psychological aspects in the players rather than a bad tactical or strategic approach.

Arsenal with one foot in the Europa League

Unfortunately for Arteta's team, the possibility of participating in the Champions League is slipping through their fingers, depending on a miracle on the last matchday, beating Everton for the Gunners is not necessarily something far away, however, Tottenham must lose to Norwich, a team already relegated to the second division and last in the table, a combination of circumstances that are not impossible, but quite difficult.

I have always commented that this team has a hard time in this kind of games, maybe it is the lack of experience of their young players but they give the fans a bitter taste after having won very well against teams like Chelsea and Manchester United, the team is decomposed after the defeat suffered by their main rival Tottenham.

Last Date

We will anxiously await the last date where nothing is defined, everything can happen both in the top positions and in the last access to the Champions League, the exciting race continues in the Premier League and few football fans will want to miss the definition of the best league on the planet.
