Chapter 101 Penalty Points and Tip-Offs

In the 20th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played against Newcastle at home.

The Magpies have had a hard time recently. They have financial problems and need to repay a loan. The Magpies' senior management said that they are unable to repay the loan in their current situation and need to obtain external investment.

However, the Magpies are currently in the relegation zone. In this case, where will there be capital to favor them, so they are caught in a vicious circle.

If it really doesn't work, the Magpies are likely to put the club on the auction platform for auction to attract new owners to get enough funds.

The worst case scenario is to file for bankruptcy.

Of course, from the development history of the Premier League and the degree of commercialization, the English Football Association will try to avoid speaking out about this situation. Even if it really comes to this, the English Football Association will come forward to make various negotiations, either negotiate with the bank to extend the repayment period, or help the Magpies find a new owner.

"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"

But even so, the current bad situation still makes Newcastle uncomfortable.

Of course, these are not issues that Arsenal need to worry about.

What they need at this stage is to grab points.

Therefore, no matter what the situation of the Magpies is, they still have to beat Newcastle at home to get three points.

The poor club situation and the current situation of the standings have made the morale of Newcastle players extremely low.

The situation where the army of the underdog wins is rare after all.

When the club faces a dilemma, most people think about how to escape from this place and start a new career.

For this situation, Lucky also has a deep understanding.

After all, Arsenal has also encountered it. At the moment when Wenger fell, only a few players were willing to stay, and most of them left when conditions permitted.

This kind of departure can be understood as betrayal, but it is not necessary.

After all, the choice is on the side of the players, and they also need to be responsible for their own careers.

If Lucky is not the captain of Arsenal and does not have enough feelings for Arsenal, he will probably do the same.

From the current state of Newcastle, it is obvious that there are more people who want to leave.

All this can be reflected from the situation on the field. One by one, the players played listlessly.

It is estimated that what they think about is not how to score goals, but how to leave the Magpies.

Bang!

Lekai's powerful long-range shot from the outside startled the Newcastle goalkeeper.

He reacted instantly and tried to save the ball, but it was still an inch short.

Fortunately, the ball hit the goal post and bounced out, and was cleared by the defender who rushed over.

"Kai's desire to score is very strong. It was a trial long-range shot with high quality! But the probability of Kai hitting the goal post is too high!"

Paul Mossen shook his head.

Lekai's long-range shot hit the goal post many times, which is really frustrating.

Dixon on the side shook his head and said; "But this also means that Kai's shot is within the atmosphere of the goal frame. He only needs to make a little adjustment, and this kind of long-range shot is the most troublesome!"

Lekai failed to score a goal, he did not feel any loss, and immediately turned his head to participate in the defense.

In this game, his position is central midfielder.

But his running direction is not the central midfielder position, but the amplitude spreads to all areas outside the opponent's penalty area and outside his own penalty area.

Lucky's movement is unpredictable, but he can help the team connect well anywhere.

And Arsenal's other teammates can also help Lucky to fill in the position, which is very valuable.

In this case, Lucky played more smoothly.

The whole team is serving Lucky's efforts.

And Lucky himself did not live up to his teammates' help. In the 24th minute, he suddenly shook his body and passed the joint defense of Colback and Tiote, and plunged into Newcastle's defensive hinterland.

"The ball went through Colback's crotch, and Kai squeezed out of the double defense of the two!"

George Adams' voice suddenly rose.

And the fans at the scene also widened their eyes in an instant, looking at Lucky.

Lucky is still striding forward. His speed is not fast, but every dribble is extremely stable. The distance of the ball every time is the same, as if it has been measured.

At this distance, Colback, who caught up, didn't dare to kick at all.

Kicking would definitely be a foul!

Just as Colback was hesitating about the price of the foul, Lekai suddenly moved sideways to block Colback behind him and moved to the inside.

Newcastle full-back Dumet was also shocked and was about to press forward.

Lekai stuffed the ball between Dumet and center back Mbaben.

On the left, Aubameyang was moving forward at high speed!

"Aubameyang!

Good opportunity!

!"

Aubameyang was very fast, and at this time he only had the ball in his eyes.

He strode forward with his feet and accelerated again.

Bang!

Aubameyang's left shoulder was hit hard by someone, and he couldn't help but fall to the right. Although he struggled to stabilize, he still couldn't support his body.

Aubameyang fell to the ground hard, and the whole person lay on the ground and rushed forward for more than a meter before stopping.

After falling to the ground, Aubameyang immediately turned around and stood up, raising his hands high and ready to shout.

But the fans at the scene had already shouted for him.

"Foul!

!

——"

The roar of more than 60,000 Arsenal fans at the scene was shaking.

This thunderous roar made everyone on the field feel numb, and the referee was sweating profusely.

He could feel those eyes staring at him, as if he would be torn apart if he made a bad decision.

Under this pressure, the referee silently moved forward and finally pointed to the penalty spot.

Penalty!

"Beautiful!"

Aubameyang's excellent run helped Arsenal complete the penalty!

George, Adams yelled, he was so excited.

After entering the second half of the season, every victory is extremely valuable.

Every victory is the key to shortening the points gap.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lucky picked up the ball and walked towards the penalty spot.

Lucky's penalty success rate is very high, and he missed a lot of penalties.

Lucky is a stable penalty shooter, but Arsenal fans are still very nervous.

Lucky came to the penalty spot with the ball, and the goalkeeper on the opposite side was unexpectedly quiet.

He spread his hands and kept rolling up and down. Both sides took small steps back and forth to interfere with him, but there was no intention of talking nonsense.

There are many opinions about Lucky's penalty kicks in the outside world, and the most common one is not to take penalties again. Communicate with Lekai at that time.

Neuer emphasized many times that ‘that’s a liar! ’

Although he was speechless about this kind of thing, Lekai did not deny it.

Who told Neuer to be so easy to deceive!

The goalkeeper did not say trash talk, and Lekai was too lazy to talk.

He looked down at the ball and slowly retreated.

As the whistle sounded, Lekai suddenly started, and when he came to the ball, he took a small step.

The goalkeeper moved to the left, and Lekai immediately pushed to the lower right corner.

But the Newcastle goalkeeper shook his body and rushed to the right.

Been cheated!

Lekai was shocked!

The Newcastle goalkeeper had already saved the ball at this time.

Lekai was about to hold his head, and suddenly heard a ‘bang’.

Aubameyang was the first to kill and complete the supplementary shot.

“Lower right corner!

Oh~~ Elliot saved it!

Aubameyang!

And!

One more shot!

Got it!

Zhan Jun shouted!

"Aubameyang made a supplementary shot and scored!

Arsenal still seized this opportunity to take the lead!

!"

"Although Lekai missed the penalty, Aubameyang followed up and scored to make up for it!

Zhang Lu shook his head and sighed; "Lekai was deceived! Elliot's first move to the left was a fake move, and then he rushed to the right with all his strength. Lekai likes to play in the lower left corner, so he used this method to confuse Lekai, making Lekai change his mind and kick the lower right corner, and hurriedly changed the angle, which made Lekai's shot less accurate, and he was able to save it this time! "

Zhan Jun also nodded and said: "It was designed! But everyone will encounter missed penalties, and Aubameyang helped to make up for it, so there is no big problem. "

In the game, Lekai also excitedly hugged Aubameyang.

The missed penalty almost scared him to death.

It's not that Lekai has never experienced missed penalties, but it's better to experience less of this kind of thing.

Aubameyang's follow-up shot was crucial, and it also helped Arsenal to take the lead.
