Chapter 40 A Helpless Choice

Conte looked nervously at the court, feeling extremely uneasy about Arsenal's tenacity.

Although Chelsea are leading so far, Arsenal's counterattack is a bit too strong.

Of course, compared to last season, this Arsenal has a clear downward trend, but for the current Chelsea, Arsenal still poses a great threat.

"Hold!

"

Conte yelled from the sidelines, and the Chelsea players also ran as hard as they could.

As a Premier League team, they don't want to lose to Arsenal.

Although they were the Premier League champions last season, Arsenal devoted most of their energy to the Champions League that season. For this reason, many people said that their championship was picked up.

After Chelsea's downturn this season, this trend of public opinion has become more and more rampant.

Therefore, Chelsea players are working hard to prove themselves. They want to defeat Arsenal and tell everyone that they are the kings of the Premier League!

winter!

Lucky's shoulder was hit hard and his body staggered a little, but due to years of training and terrifying core abilities, he pulled his body back abruptly.

Oscar was stunned as he watched this scene. Lucky was hit by him when he landed, his knees were bent, and his whole body was obviously tilted to the left, with a tendency to fall, but this guy was able to twist back.

"Get up!"

Azar yelled.

Oscar decisively chased back, and Fabregas also rushed forward immediately.

Lucky looked at Fabregas in front of him and moved the ball to the left, then immediately smashed the ball.

Fabregas was not fooled and braked suddenly, still blocking Lucky.

Lucky's face was solemn, and his left foot swung emptyly on the ball, and immediately had a tendency to lean forward.

According to legend, crotch?

Fabregas sneered, this time he would not be fooled.

Clamp your legs together to block the gap.

At this time, Lucky's left foot in the air suddenly landed on the left side of the ball, and stepped on the ball hard with his heel.

The ball was hard and bounced to the right, just hitting Lucai's outstretched right foot.

Lucky's entire movement was in a Z-shape, breaking through Cesc Fabregas' defense.

“Beautiful fried meatballs!”

The on-site commentator George Adams exclaimed.

Lucky's entire set of movements is smooth and graceful, and is sufficiently confusing.

Even Fabregas couldn't react.

Looking at Lucky walking away, Fabregas turned his head with a look of astonishment on his face.

And Lucky has already reached the penalty area line!

He looked up.

Suarez was in a surrounded position, with Wilshere and Aubameyang already coming up from the wings, but

"too slow!"

Lucky was worried.

He stared at the Chelsea player, suddenly moved horizontally, and there was wind at his feet, and he violently raised his right leg and whipped it away.

The ball rushed toward the goal like lightning.

This is a close-to-the-ground slash, rushing straight to the right side of the goal.

"Kay!

! Shoot! "

George Adams' voice was like a drake's, with a hint of roar as he was extremely nervous and praying for a goal.

After Lucky completed the shot, he stared at the ball. Just as the ball was about to go into the goal, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chelsea goalkeeper Begovic flicked the ball with his fingertips and forced it out.

"Tsk!

! "

Lucky frowned and was speechless!

This goal was already very threatening, but it was still saved by the Chelsea goalkeeper.

Arsenal fans held their heads, wondering how the ball could be saved.

This was a very tricky long-range shot, with perfect power and angle, but it just failed to score a goal.

In the Sky Sports commentary booth, Paul Merson opened his mouth and said: "Okay! We have to admit that Begovic made a wonderful save. He saved Chelsea at a critical moment and a tricky shot was saved by him. Come out. Of course, we must also admit that Kai's attack was extremely exciting. After completing the interception from the midfield, he immediately formed a counterattack. When his teammates failed to get in position immediately, his long shot still threatened Chelsea's goal. !”

"Many people say that the Gunners have misfired. Last season's Champions League champions emptied Arsenal of bullets, but Kai used his performance to tell everyone that with limited ammunition, he still has the ability to threaten the opponent's goal."

I have to say that Lucky's performance in this game was impeccable.

It can be said that from the entire Arsenal and even Chelsea, only Lucky's performance is extremely threatening and stable.

Not even Hazard can do this.

The most surprising thing is that Lucky not only showed his defense and passing ability in this game, but also frequently completed breakthroughs, sent the ball to the threatening point, or shot the ball himself.

They can understand that Lucky is slowly developing towards an all-around core.

You know, Lucky didn't play like this last season!

"This guy!"

Conti shrank, and after seeing Begovic complete the save, he breathed a long sigh of relief, but his eyes looking at Lucai were still full of fear.

A defensive midfielder like Lucky is what every head coach dreams of.

Stable defense, good organizational skills, key ball-playing ability, and now even more breakthrough and dribbling.

Especially in the fierce competition of the Premier League, such a breakthrough of Lekai is even more rare.

After all, unlike other competitions, playing in the Premier League, once you bring more, the opponent will give you more intensity.

But even under this pressure, Lekai still completed a wonderful performance.

Conte looked at the time.

68 minutes.

There are 22 minutes left and the game will be over.

"Substitution!"

Conte made a prompt decision.

Chelsea made a substitution.

They replaced two people at once.

Fabregas went off the court and Mikel came on the court.

Zouma went off the court and Terry came on the court.

Both of these moves are to increase defensive capabilities.

And at this juncture, Terry, the captain and leader of Chelsea, appeared on the court, which is not good news for Arsenal.

"Oops!"

Seeing Chelsea make substitutions, Patel was shocked.

He never thought that Chelsea would make the first substitution, and made a substitution in the 68th minute.

Generally, the disadvantaged side makes the first substitution.

Whoever falls behind, makes the first substitution.

This has basically become a law.

After all, the advantaged side has more room for thinking.

But Conte did not play by the rules at all, but because of this, Patrese lost the first opportunity.

But he could not sit still and wait for death.

Patrese immediately turned his head to look at the bench.

A substitute immediately cast a hopeful look.

Can we play?

I saw Patrese's eyes sweeping from left to right, and then from right to left. Finally, he opened his mouth, his face slightly gloomy, and turned his head back again.

Seeing this scene, the substitutes were stunned.

What's wrong?

Patrese's face was very bad.

He found that Arsenal's bench really had no resources to use.

Last season, Arsenal's bench was still full of talents.

Walcott, Rosicky, Ramsey, etc.

But these guys left at once, leaving Patrese with no one to use.

In the 74th minute, Patrese turned his eyes to the bench again.

This time, it was impossible not to change.

After sweeping several times, Patelez shouted: "Campbell go warm up!"

Hearing this, Campbell almost jumped up with joy.

This is the first time he has played since last season.

If he is not given another chance, he really has to consider transferring.

Sure enough, flattering the captain and hanging out with the captain is still very promising.

In the 77th minute, Arsenal made a substitution.

Kante went off the court and Campbell came on.

This is not a positional substitution.

Campbell will play in the left front position after he comes on the court, while Wilshere will retreat.

At that time, Lukay and Flamini will become a midfielder partner.

This lineup is very similar to Arsenal in the 13-14 season.

But Arsenal fans are not happy.

After all, they are very clear about this lineup. This is a transitional lineup, which was used by Wenger to polish the lineup at that time.

And what lineup can be polished now?

So, this can only be Patelez's helpless choice.
