Chapter 99: Advancing to the Semifinals

"Let's congratulate Lekai! He is the first Chinese player to reach the Champions League semi-finals!"

Zhan Jun clapped his hands excitedly.

Wang Yi plays for Paris Saint-Germain, but Paris' best result is the quarter-finals and has never reached the semi-finals.

However, Lekai reached the Champions League semi-finals in his second season as a main player.

At this moment, as a Chinese, he feels proud!

"Too strong!"

Coach Zhang Lu shook his head and said with emotion: "Throughout the game, there were many steals and interceptions, including one pass and one shot! This is completely the performance of a midfielder! And it was in the Champions League quarter-finals against Dortmund, and the performance on this occasion is worth adding points!"

"Definitely the best player of the game, there is no need to think about it, I won't recognize anyone else!"

Zhan Jun also looked at Lekai, with a strong sense of pride in his tone; "The 20-year-old captain of a wealthy club helped the team reach the Champions League semi-finals for the fifth time, and Became the best player of the game! Arsenal picked up a treasure! "

Coach Zhang Lu also laughed and said: "Sporting Lisbon is in pain! They sold such a talented player for 800,000!"

"Full-backs are worthless! At that time, Lucky played as a full-back, and Wenger spotted him just after starting for less than half a season! Who knew that Wenger would transform Lucky so fiercely, one is a role-playing full-back, and the other is a midfield core that builds the foundation of the team! Arsenal made a fortune! "

As the two talked, the barrage was also boiling.

"Awesome!"

"Royce's mentality was about to collapse after being intercepted. Kai directly arranged Dortmund's midfield clearly in one game, and there was one pass and one shot. Look at this efficiency!"

"20 years old! Arsenal really picked up a treasure!"

"The professor has been guilty for two years, and he immediately turned around and took out a super midfielder! Awesome!"

"Fabregas is in front, Luka is in the back, and Arsenal produces super midfielders?"

"Don't compare Luka with Fabregas! Fabregas doesn't deserve it!"

"The 20-year-old vice-captain! He led the team to the Champions League semi-finals and topped the league standings after 32 rounds. This is for The legendary captain is on his way!"

"Get it done! Waiting for the World Cup! Lekai is in the midfield, with Wang Yi and Manman in front and Liu Dapao in the back! It feels like he can really fight against strong teams!"

"The emperor didn't have a chance to eat in the national team before, and now that Lekai is here, won't he choke on the cake?"

"To be honest, Lekai's outstanding defense is his ability!"

"Only outstanding defense? Second in the Premier League assists list, you tell me you can't feed the ball? What an international joke!"

"I didn't say that!"

On the court, Lekai was walking to the sidelines, but he was soon blocked by a group of media reporters.

Facing the media's long guns and short guns, Lekai gave a unified answer.

"This victory was hard-won. I need to thank every player. Arsenal's teamwork made us play a better game. Dortmund played well, but we played better, so we won the game."

"Don't make any predictions about future opponents, because no matter which team it is, it will be a strong enemy! But what we need to do is to do our own thing well!"

"I am very satisfied with my performance."

"This is the first time I have come to the stage of the Champions League semi-finals. I feel honored and excited about it. This is a stage that many professional players dream of. Only four teams in Europe can come to this stage. We will always maintain a good state and work hard to win the game! Thank you!"

After speaking, Lekai turned around and left, regardless of the reporters who had been following him. While greeting the fans, he walked into the player tunnel.

In the locker room, many people were dancing happily, a scene of demons dancing wildly.

This victory is exciting.

Arsenal reached the Champions League semi-finals.

This is an encouragement for many players.

Even Suarez, who rarely joins the dance team, was shirtless, waving his jersey with one hand, and dancing happily.

Suarez is now very glad that he came to Arsenal.

He saw all his visions for the future here.

This is the most exciting thing for him.

"Hey! Kai!"

Suarez pointed at Lucky.

Other teammates also turned their heads and started screaming.

"Oh oh oh oh oh ~~~ Our best player of the game!!"

Lucky looked at these guys with a smile. Sometimes these people act very childish.

But this is the happiness of men.

Lucky jumped in and started jumping on Suarez's shoulders.

Arsenal players celebrated wildly in the locker room.

In the evening, the news that Arsenal advanced to the Champions League semi-finals was popular throughout the UK.

"Arsenal defeated Dortmund and reached the Champions League semi-finals!

"Wenger: We defeated Dortmund with the use of the team.

"The powerful Gunners are back! 》

The media reported that Arsenal reached the Champions League semi-finals, which surprised many people.

After all, in the past few years, Arsenal was still in a half-dead state.

Moreover, two captains left in succession, and Arsenal suffered a huge blow!

They all thought that Arsenal had begun to decline and was on the verge of silence.

But suddenly, Arsenal began to exert its strength!

FA Cup champion!

League championship!

Champions League semi-final!

Arsenal's performance in the league and Champions League in the past two seasons has subverted everyone's perception.

Among them, especially Lucai’s performance!

In this regard, the British football media made some comments.

"From a full-back to a top midfielder, Kai told everyone that it only took him three years!"

"From a ball-breaking beast's waist to gradually moving towards an all-powerful path!"

"After entering the 2013-2014 season, Arsenal's biggest surprise is that their defensive midfielders began to hold the ball and organize. Of course, there is no shortage of Wenger's instructions here, but this decision is correct!"

"From being a little rusty at the beginning of the season to now being the king of defensive midfielders, Kai's performance can only be surpassed by Yaya Toure. This is still in terms of goal statistics. After all, Kai does not score many goals."

"I think after this season, Arsenal has decided to build a new lineup around Kai and Cazorla. Kai will have a higher status. He will not only recognize the role of the core midfielder, but also share part of the offense. pressure."

"Of course, he still has some offensive shortcomings, but Cazorla has solved this problem perfectly. Now this Arsenal has a powerful dual-core engine! Some reinforcements are being made in the lineup. No one knows. How powerful can the Arsenal be!”

"After all, Kai is only 20 years old, and he still has huge room for growth. I believe that Kai in the future will definitely be a top midfielder, or even a midfield master!"

The media describes Lucky as a midfield master, which is indeed a bit premature.

But it also shows how optimistic they are about Lucky's future.

As the end of the season approaches, looking at this season, no one can find any fault with Lucky's performance.

At first, when Wenger put Arteta on the bench, many people had doubts about it and even had a lot of doubts.

But Lucky's performance completely suppressed these voices.

Arteta is an excellent midfielder, but he does not have Lucky's strong ability and ability to fight tough battles.

If Arteta is replaced as the starter in the match between Dortmund and Bayern Munich, no one can predict the direction the game will take.

But they know one thing.

That is that Arsenal cannot play at the current pace.

This Arsenal feels very strong, but this strength is not the strength of individuals, but the strength of the system and running-in.

If you take out the players from Arsenal's lineup, it will be difficult for most players to reach the Champions League semi-finals level.

But when these people come together and run in with a suitable system, the Gunners appear.

Even Lucky has many problems, such as not being able to run fast.

It's just that with the help of the team, his shortcomings are complemented!

Modern football emphasizes organization and system.

A mature and suitable system can completely double the team's strength.

This is the case with Arsenal. The 11 people rely on each other and complement each other, eventually forming a strong system lineup.

The core of this system is Lucky!

Wenger's task now is simple.

The system has been created, he only needs to consider how to strengthen each position.
