Chapter 89: Targeting ‘Weaknesses’
Lokkai's eyes were fixed on Reus. He knew very well that after this Dortmund team lost Goetze, Reus took on most of the offensive organization work.
It needed both breakthrough and organization, and Reus's condition this season was also very good.
But the condition can be broken!
Just like now!
Reus just got the ball, he tried to dribble the ball horizontally, but Lukkai quickly came up.
Reus immediately pulled the ball back, he knew very well that his tonnage could not compete with Lukkai.
The only outcome of being stubborn was to be intercepted!
Lukkai was a little relentless, took a step forward and continued to press.
Facing Lukkai's aggressive play, Reus felt a lot of pressure.
Last season, Goetze could help him share some of the organizational pressure, but this season he almost relied on him alone.
Although there are some positive effects, many problems will be exposed when the disadvantage is in a disadvantageous situation.
Just like now, facing the one-on-one defense of Lucky, Reus felt extremely exhausted.
He could not find any possibility of breaking through Lucky. Even in the process of passing, Arsenal's coordinated defense was constantly intercepting, and Lucky's precise interception ability was even more.
All these made Reus feel exhausted.
"Reus can't pass the ball! Kai has put too much defensive pressure on him. In fact, we all know that if we want to beat Arsenal, we need to break Arsenal's coordinated defense, but the key point of this coordinated defense lies in Kai, which is also the strongest point of this Arsenal at present!"
"This also leads to everyone knowing how to beat Arsenal, but they don't have a strong enough lineup to break these!"
The German commentator said worriedly.
After Bayern Munich lost to Arsenal, many people have seen the tactical structure of this Arsenal.
In fact, this is not a complicated tactical system!
It is to rely on the influence of Lucky to connect everything in series, and then build this team into an iron bucket.
Wenger did a great job in this regard!
How important is Lucky to this Arsenal team?
Without Lucky, this Arsenal team can only reach C+ or B-level!
But it is precisely because of Lucky, plus the team and spiritual attributes, Arsenal's current strength is in the A- category.
From this, we can see how much Lucky has increased the entire team!
And for Arsenal players, this feeling is the most intuitive.
"Theo! Retreat!!"
"Go up!!!"
"Push forward! I'm behind you!"
"Beautiful! Cazorla!!"
Lucky's voice almost runs through the whole court.
Lucky shouts this in almost every game, and shouts the whole time.
Arsenal players have adapted to Lucky's shouting and roaring.
Communication in the game is very important, and Arsenal is communicating almost every moment.
And under the leadership of Lucky, the communication between Arsenal players will be more frequent!
"I'll do it!"
Royce just lifted the ball into the penalty area, and Koscielny and Mertesacker arrived at the landing point almost at the same time.
But Koscielny roared and kicked the ball.
Mertesacker slightly turned sideways and gave up his position.
"Well done!"
After retreating, Lekai high-fived Koscielny and said, "You must keep an eye on your position, and there must be no problems with your previous cooperation!"
After that, Lekai nodded in the direction of Lewandowski.
"Someone is watching!"
In response, Koscielny grinned and said, "Don't worry, you provide protection in front. If we can't defend well in this situation, then we don't have to play professionally!"
Hearing this, Lekai couldn't help laughing.
Immediately, Lekai walked towards Mertesacker and said, "Take the initiative! Be more active! You are always silent!"
Mertesacker grinned, "I understand!"
Lekai turned his head, clapped his hands, and said loudly, "Okay! Guys! How long will we be beaten? It's time to counterattack! Forwards, give me some strength! Shoot more goals!"
Arsenal's morale is slowly rising.
Although they were basically passive during this period, they have gradually figured out Dortmund's offensive method.
At the same time, it's time for them to counterattack!
Dortmund still wants to find Reus to handle the ball, and Lekai sticks to him again.
But this time, Lekai increased his strength.
As soon as Reus got the ball, he felt the pressure suddenly increase.
Unlike the previous coordinated defense, Lekai went straight to steal the ball!
Reus immediately pulled the ball to open a certain distance, but Lekai continued to follow up and steal the ball.
Reus wanted to turn around, but Lekai pushed too hard, and it became difficult to protect the ball.
"Shit!"
Reus cursed secretly, and while the two were wrestling, Reus suddenly felt the force loosen.
He immediately made a passing gesture, but a foot suddenly inserted from the side and poked the ball.
"Lekai steals!"
Zhan Jun yelled.
At this time, Dortmund was in an offensive state, and the midfield and backcourt were in a defensive void.
The moment when Lucky stole the ball was crucial.
After stealing the ball, Lucky pushed Royce aside, then grabbed the ball and ran forward.
Lekai was not fast, so he repeated his old trick and passed the ball directly to Walcott, letting the latter complete the forward work.
Walcott received the ball and began to dribble forward frantically.
When approaching the penalty area, Walcott passed the ball horizontally to the middle.
Suarez received the ball lightly and turned and sprinted.
Dortmund defender Hummels didn't care about Suarez at all and rushed directly to Cazorla.
This is also the characteristic of German defenders, they like to grab!
"Hummels grabbed it!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Cazorla and Hummels.
Cazorla made a move to flick the ball to the left, and Hummels approached to the left.
But Cazorla's foot swung around the ball in the air, and he suddenly straightened his body, and gently rubbed the ball with the toe of his right foot.
The ball flew to the far point on the right.
And there, Rosicky had already rushed over.
At this time, the entire Dortmund defense line was in a mess.
Rosicky met the falling ball and gently swung his head!
The ball flew to the penalty area again.
"Shit!"
"Damn it!"
The Dortmund defenders were a little dizzy.
They turned their heads to look at the penalty area, and they saw that a red and white jersey named Lekai had appeared there, swinging his right foot and slamming the ball hard.
Bang! ! !
Lekai completed the volley with the instep of his right foot!
This ball was pressed very hard, almost flying close to the ground.
Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller suddenly split his legs sideways.
The ball hit his calf and flew into the air.
The ball was only about one meter away from the goal line.
The crowd rushed to the ball in the air again.
But someone was faster than them.
Suarez appeared here by some strange coincidence, jumped up lightly, leaned back with his waist muscles, and pulled forward!
The ball hit his forehead and went into the goal!
At this moment! The entire Westfalenstadion became quiet.
Dortmund fans looked at this scene in disbelief.
Up to 30 minutes, they had made at least 5 shots, but failed to score a goal.
But Arsenal's third shot penetrated their goal!
They fell behind at home!
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"
"Luis Suarez!! The most favorable contender for the Premier League Golden Boot, the Uruguayan used his hard toe to bring Arsenal the first goal!"
"I think this scene is not unfamiliar to Arsenal fans, Kai's long shot + Suarez's supplementary shot! But the Uruguayan can always complete this kind of work. He has a keen enough sense of smell and knows where to get it. Goal!"
"This is Arsenal's offensive cooperation. They once again played a dazzling cooperation in the penalty area!"
"Starting from Cazorla, everyone thought Rosicky would shoot, but he chose to pass the ball and let Kai complete the shooting!"
"But it was Suarez who scored in the end!"
"Cheers! Gunners fans! This is Arsenal! Fierce Gunners! Powerful Gunners! !"
"They want to beat Dortmund, they want to continue their Champions League journey! !"
