Chapter 18: Unpredictable Pass

"Both teams almost skipped the probing stage from the beginning of the game, and all of them took out real guns and real ammunition to work!"

"Liverpool's offensive momentum is full, and Arsenal's defense is also airtight"

After the game started, both sides almost tacitly skipped the probing stage, and the rhythm was directly full.

Liverpool led by Klopp is a very strong team. Their offensive momentum is full. Once they kick out that crazy offensive momentum, it will not be good news for Arsenal.

Therefore, this also requires Arsenal's midfield, that is, Lukay and Kante to frequently interfere and steal to limit it.

Lukay cruised near the center circle, his eyes were always observing Liverpool's passing movements.

So far, Liverpool has been more of a transfer and relying on the sidelines to pass the ball from the bottom.

However, Lukay also knows that Firmino's role as a fulcrum in the middle is still very strong.

For this reason, he always stays alert!

"Front!"

"Be careful!

Lekai jumped up and headed the ball out, but the landing point was not well controlled and the ball was taken away by Liverpool players.

Lekai pursed his lips unwillingly and continued to be alert.

"Liverpool's attack is a little difficult to advance. Arsenal's midfield and defense play an important role in defense, but for Arsenal, what they need to solve is this suppressed situation!"

"The ball came to the left wing, Salah dribbled the ball and wanted to pass Kante, Kante was beautiful!

Salah wanted to pass Kante by shaking, but Kante attacked decisively and snatched the ball with one foot.

After grabbing the ball, Kante still couldn't relax.

After realizing that he had lost the ball, Salah immediately counter-robbed.

At the same time, Firmino also ran over from the middle.

"Pass the ball! Hurry up! "

Lekai urged.

Kante staggered and passed the ball to Lekai.

Because it was a hasty pass, the foot was not strong enough and the speed was not enough.

Lekai had no choice but to retreat to receive the ball.

At this time, Firmino also rushed to the landing point of the ball.

The two arrived at the ball position almost at the same time, but Lekai stretched out his foot first, twisted his body and squeezed between Firmino and the ball. The latter could not stop and fell on Lekai's back.

Hmph!

Lekai could hear a clear hum, but the referee did not blow the whistle, so he would not pay attention.

After controlling the ball under his feet, Lekai dribbled forward.

Chen Man and Firmino rushed over again.

Lekai pretended to pass the ball, and the two Almost at the same time, everyone stretched their feet forward. At this time, Lekai suddenly buckled, moved horizontally from the side, and pulled away.

After confirming that the position was relatively safe, Lekai breathed a sigh of relief and pressed down with both hands.

Steady!

The Arsenal forwards who were retreating quickly also stopped, and many people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that the pressure Liverpool put on them is still very high.

Arsenal finally regained control of the ball, but did not directly counterattack as before. The main reason was that under Liverpool's attack, the rhythm was pulled a little fast. Many players were running frequently and needed a moment of rest.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books at present,, install the latest version. ]

"Kai played very soberly, knowing that the frequent retreat of the two wing forwards on his side caused the physical strength to not fully recover, so he chose to slow down the rhythm! And in this slow rhythm, Liverpool will play very uncomfortable. They have begun to press and want to speed up the rhythm again, but Arsenal will not let the other side do as they wish! "

As the commentator said, Arsenal's ball control fully utilized the width of the field, with Luka as the fulcrum, and continued to pass the ball.

The two ball holders Luka and Wilshere also ensured that the ball would not be taken away so easily.

The two were always able to use various methods to solve Liverpool's pressing.

Mourinho on the sidelines also nodded repeatedly.

Although he is a defensive-first coach, the main offensive means is the counterattack tactic.

But sometimes, a slow-paced buffer must be carried out.

And when to do it, this requires the midfield The players made their own judgments.

Lucky's choice was very good, this is a node to control the rhythm.

The question now is how to suddenly change the rhythm and speed up!

Mourinho's eyes kept shifting, and he saw Aubameyang on the wing was already ready to move.

It's time to pass!

Sure enough, Lucky passed the ball.

A very decisive ground pass, but surprisingly, Lucky did not look for Aubameyang,

but turned around and passed the ball, and the ball flew towards the empty space on the right.

There, Wilshere actually stepped forward magically.

"Pass the ball!

Wilshere!

Wilshere looked at the rolling ball, he made a slight adjustment, and then made a lob pass.

The ball flew into Liverpool's penalty area in an arc.

In the penalty area, Van Dijk and Lukaku were already fighting, pushing each other and rushing to the landing point of the ball.

But at the critical moment, Lukaku's body still had the advantage, and he was suffocated by the ball.

The ball refracted and flew towards the goal.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson reacted extremely quickly.

He jumped up and lifted the ball over the crossbar with his hand.

Liverpool's defensive crisis was resolved.

"Ah!

! It was a pity that Arsenal could have used this attack to get ahead, but it was also a very good attempt! "

"But we must review one point again, that is Kai's pass!"

"In fact, no one expected Kai to suddenly turn around and shoot to the right. Everyone's eyes turned to Aubameyang. We all thought this was Arsenal's next attack, but Kai obviously didn't think so! "

Mourinho also opened his mouth slightly.

He was totally surprised by Lucky's pass.

Normal people would look at Aubameyang, after all, the position and angle were just right.

This is already an A-level answer!

But Lucky found an A+-level answer!

A pass that no one had ever paid attention to or expected.

If it was passed to Aubameyang, Arsenal's attack would be formulaic, and the opponent's defense would not be so uncomfortable.

The best result is that Arsenal can get a corner kick.

And now, Arsenal tried a threatening shot.

Mourinho's eyes were filled with a hint of wonder, and he said, "Has Kai passed the ball like this before? ”

Is it a guess or did he really see the gap?

Mourinho pays attention to Luka, who had similar passes early in his career, but soon became a formulaic pass.

It’s not that Luka’s spirituality was stifled, it’s just that the passing mode serves the system.

Arteta nodded; “Kai used to always play this kind of pass, but after Arsenal’s system was confirmed, his passes began to become conservative and more team-oriented, and the professor also wanted Kai to play like this at the time. ”

“Team-oriented pass!” Mourinho nodded slightly.

Arteta continued; “But in your lineup, Kai has unloaded a lot of work burdens, so he can focus more on passing, which also induces this kind of pass to appear again.”

Mourinho said slightly excitedly; “In other words, Kai really saw the gap, right?”

Arteta nodded, very sure; “Kai will not pass the kind of unsure pass, every pass he makes is extremely threatening. "

It's not a guess!

Mourinho licked his lips.

He used to think that Lucky was a treasure, but it was not until he actually coached Lucky that he realized that this treasure gave people a bigger surprise.

If Mourinho was surprised, Klopp was shocked.

Lucky's pass scared his heart so much that it skipped a beat.

This kind of pass, this kind of vision, how did this guy fall to the ground.

Lucky's completely unconventional passing method and vision made his uneasiness even more intense.

In the game, Liverpool The players looked at each other in bewilderment.

Especially the young player Arnold.

His head was full of question marks.

Why did the ball pass to his defensive wing?

He followed the whole team to move to the right. If Wilshere had played more decisively and directly entered the penalty area, then the ball would have been hard to say.

"I"

Arnold at this time is not the spoiled child. This guy is still very green.

He will become extremely nervous if he feels that he has made a mistake.

Looking at Arnold's appearance, Henderson waved his hand and comforted him: "It's not your problem."

Arnold was stunned for a moment.

It's not my problem, so it's not that I'm too weak, but that the opponent is too strong?
