Chapter 93: Knife-Like Through Ball

Vermaelen is driving to the Kearney training base. Google search reading

This is his return to training after being away from the training base for half a year.

This should be a happy moment, but Vermaelen can't be happy.

Vermaelen has confirmed the transfer. Under the instruction of the coach, he began to contact the transfer target and finally decided on Barcelona in La Liga.

In fact, Vermaelen also thought about going to Barcelona before, because there he could win the championship.

But now Vermaelen hopes to stay in Arsenal.

It's just that he can't stay!

The reason is very simple, he is hindering the development of Lucky.

This is no longer something that his will can change, even the professor can't do it.

For Arsenal at present, supporting Lucky is a very critical link.

And anything that intentionally or unintentionally hinders the development of Lucky will be cleaned up.

Just like Vermaelen.

Whenever he thought of this, Vermaelen felt a little bitter. If possible, he would rather not take over the captain's armband from Van Persie. He was willing to be a supporting role as long as he could accompany this Arsenal team to win the championship.

Many Arsenal fans gathered at the entrance of the Kearney training base, which has become the norm.

At present, Arsenal's momentum is hot, and the fans are also excited. They are willing to linger at the entrance of the home team's training base.

"Thomas is here!"

Someone shouted, and the fans surrounded him.

Arsenal fans patted the windows of the car and said excitedly: "Hey! Thomas, we are at the top of the standings! Hey! We are going to win the championship!"

"Man! You have missed too many games! Get well soon! Let's win the championship together!"

"Come on! Thomas!"

The fans encouraged Vermaelen loudly.

In response, Vermaelen had a smile on his face, but he was a little bitter in his heart.

Driving into the training base, Vermaelen parked the car in the parking lot and then came to the door of the locker room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a quarrel in the locker room.

Vermaelen stopped at the door for a moment, then took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

"Guys! I'm back!"

Vermaelen opened the door and laughed loudly.

And after a moment of silence, Arsenal teammates burst out.

"Captain!!"

"You're finally back!!"

"Hahahaha! Captain, you've rested too long this time!"

"Captain, when you were away, the vice president of the team bullied people!"

"Get out! You're asking for trouble!"

Looking at the young faces in front of him, Vermaelen's originally melancholy mood was also diluted a little.

Vermaelen turned his head to look at Lucky, and Lucky walked over.

"Welcome back! Captain!"

The two hugged gently, and Vermaelen also said with emotion; "You did a good job."

Lucky smiled and waved his hand to show his modesty.

Vermaelen looked at everyone, took a deep breath, clapped his hands, and said loudly; "Okay! Gentlemen! Now is not the time to celebrate. There are still six games to go. What is our goal?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Vermaelen raised his eyebrows and looked at Lucky.

Lucky raised his arms and shouted: "Champion!!"

Hearing this, the whole locker room exploded.

"Champion!!"

"Champion!!!"

"Champion!!!!"

Arsenal's players jumped up from the bench and started jumping excitedly.

Yes!

Champion!

They are very close to the championship, they want to win the championship!

The Premier League champion!

On April 6, Arsenal went to Liverpool, a city in northwest England, to face Everton.

The 'Toffees' suddenly fell apart this season. Although Moyes, the head coach, left, they still showed extremely strong competitiveness in the standings.

Especially after Lukaku joined, this Everton's pure English style of play became smoother.

Winning seven consecutive games in the league.

With excellent performance, they are ranked fourth in the current league standings, with a gap of 3 points over Manchester City, and are in the Champions League zone.

This change is ecstatic for Everton. No one doesn't want to play in the Champions League, especially for a team like Everton that has played in vain every year.

Look at Liverpool, which once split from them, and has become a "great neighbor", while they have been in a tepid state, which makes them not particularly satisfied with the current situation.

If the "Toffees" want to rise, they need to have better performance in a higher-level league.

And it all started with this game!

There is no doubt that Arsenal is a strong enemy!

As the team currently ranked first in the league standings, Arsenal's arrival may bring failure to many teams.

But Everton has never been afraid of these. They will use a tough attitude to teach these London gentlemen a lesson.

This is also Everton's style of play.

However, the development of the game was somewhat unexpected.

Everton fought very fiercely. They were playing at home and had a strong desire to fight.

They thought that they could crush Arsenal, a soft egg, with these two points.

But suddenly, they found that these soft eggs became hard!

Bang!

Naismith and Rosicky collided fiercely. Rosicky was knocked off course, but he still kicked the ball out of bounds before losing his balance.

Naismith put his hands on his waist, shook his head, and then turned his head to sneer; "The softie dared to engage in physical confrontation!"

In the past, Naismith liked to play Arsenal like this. When facing pressure, these guys always acted a little timid and angry, but they didn't dare to take action.

But this time, Rosicky stood up lightly and smiled; "Are you a softie? You can try it!"

After saying that, he pushed his hips forward and made a not-so-elegant movement.

Naismith frowned slightly.

This trick doesn't work!

Compared with the lightweight confrontation here, Lukaku and Lukaku on the other side are much more intense.

The Belgian striker is tall and heavy, and his tonnage is one level lower than Lukaku.

But Lukaku can always use prediction to arrive at the landing point in advance and control it.

If the confrontation between Rosicky and Naismith is a collision between stones, then Lukaku and Lukaku are two stone pillars colliding with each other, sparks flying.

Lukaku rushed over to press Lukaku as soon as he got the ball.

At the moment when the two people came into contact, they all groaned.

Hum! ! !

Hum! ! !

Lukaku leaned against Lukaku, stepped on the ball with one foot, and under the terrifying core effect, he kept pushing the ball to the left and right to prevent Lukaku from touching the ball.

But even so, the Belgian striker still pushed Lukaku forward little by little.

Just when Lukaku was about to be pushed out of the baseline, Lukaku's body suddenly relaxed, his right foot swung a circle above the ball, and made a posture of breaking through to the left.

Due to the obstruction of vision, Lukaku also subconsciously followed.

But the next second, Lukaku turned back, and after his right foot landed, he pushed the ball to the right again, and then quickly got rid of it.

Looking at the back of Lekai walking away, Lukaku shook his head helplessly.

"A beautiful escape!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray exclaimed; "This season, Kai has made more and more progress in escaping and holding the ball. In the past, Kai always used one touch to organize work, but now Kai can steadily get rid of some bad situations."

Richard; "Kai's defensive attributes don't need to be considered. He is definitely the top in the Premier League and even Europe. Now he has shown his ability to hold the ball in the midfield, plus his ability to pass the ball."

Andy Gray sighed; "Arsenal will usher in a midfield core!"

After Lekai got rid of it, he looked up and looked forward. He did not pass the ball to Cazorla, but passed the ball to Walcott in a mid-range way.

Walcott turned his head and saw someone approaching.

He jumped lightly and headed the ball back again.

And Lekai slightly sideways, came to the landing point of the ball, and looked up at the same time.

His eyes collided with Suarez, who was ready to move.

After watching for a while, Lekai made a decision immediately.

The ball was falling, and Lekai still looked like he was observing, giving people the feeling that he was going to stop the ball.

This is why Everton's midfielders did not rush forward to press forward.

But at the moment when the ball was about to land, Lekai suddenly turned sideways, swung his body slightly, and directly hit the falling ball with the instep of his right foot.

The ball flew close to the ground, like an arrow flying straight, penetrating the midfield line and piercing Everton's defense line at the same time.

And there, Suarez started at the moment when Lekai passed the ball, crossed the opponent's central defender, and got the ball.

"Through ball!!!!"

Andy Gray yelled, and then added: "Through ball like a knife! Kai's through ball tore Everton's defense line!"

"Suarez! Single-handed!!"

Suarez quickly entered the penalty area with the ball, and he looked up.

The opponent's goalkeeper had already rushed out in a panic, and there were footsteps behind him.

Suarez made a simple adjustment, and at the moment when the opponent's goalkeeper blocked horizontally, he picked up the ball with his toes, and after completing the lob shot, he easily passed the opponent's goalkeeper.

Everton defender Stones rushed to the goal frantically, trying to complete the last-minute destruction.

But he was still a step late, and the ball fell into the net after rubbing his toes.

At this moment, the entire Goodison Park fell into silence.

In the 65th minute, Arsenal took the lead with a through ball from Lucky, and Suarez scored a goal.
