Chapter 28: Aircraft Carrier Turns Around

Football matters should be solved with football.

After two bad games, a comfortable game rhythm is conducive to solving the players' irritability and anxiety.

And Lucky is very good at solving this problem.

With uninterrupted passing and a good rhythm, the state of Arsenal players began to turn around visibly.

The atmosphere that was a bit suffocating before gradually became cheerful.

Seeing that the problem was solved, Mourinho also let Lucky go off the court to rest.

"The mentality of our teammates is not very good, so we need to pay more attention to this aspect and guide them." Mourinho said to Lucky; "This season, you must be prepared for full attendance!"

Lucky drank a sip of water and nodded; "I have always been prepared."

"The team doctor will always check your body. There will be no national team games next, right?"

Lucky nodded; "No, I can focus on the club's games!"

Hearing this, Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief.

In June and July, the European Cup had just ended, and many Arsenal players were in a state of physical fatigue. At this time, Lucky was very important, and he needed to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Arsenal again.

It can be said that Arsenal's current injury problem is also the reason for the European Cup.

The players have been trained too hard.

Of course, the problems of other clubs also exist. It can be said that many teams in the top five leagues at this stage have suffered from injuries.

In this case, it is crucial for the core players to play a key role and lead the team.

Arsenal obviously has to rely on Lucky.

Soon, a new round of the Premier League will begin.

In the 2016/2017 season, Arsenal played away against Hull City.

Hull City has performed well this season, with two wins, one draw and one loss in four rounds.

Hull City, which has just been strengthened, obviously has greater ambitions.

In fact, since Leicester City won the championship, many teams also want to become the second Leicester City, but this is not easy.

There are many key factors for Leicester City's championship last season.

The strength itself is naturally one of the important factors, but at the same time, there must be objective factors.

That is, the combat power of the major giants has been severely weakened.

In fact, the major giants last season were in a turbulent period.

Taking Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool as examples, they have experienced changes in coaches and adjustments in the lineup, and various problems have also erupted. Although they have been solved, they cannot form sufficient league competitiveness.

Arsenal's head coach has spent most of the season in a sanatorium.

Tottenham only began to find the feeling in the second half and slowly exerted its strength.

These factors have long led to the emergence of the Leicester City miracle.

But this season, the major giants have completed the running-in, and it is more difficult for civilian teams to replicate this grand occasion than to climb to the sky.

KC Stadium is also known as the Kingston Communications Stadium. It is the home of Hull City and is located in Yorkshire, England.

Hull City is also known as the Tigers, with a huge tiger head on the tan team logo.

The corresponding style of the entire team is also extremely tough. This is a traditional English team.

Its head coach, McPherson, once served as a coach in Manchester United and was Ferguson's assistant coach.

Influenced by Ferguson, Phelan's coaching style is also extremely tough, and so is the style of the entire team.

However, this Hull City is facing a tougher Arsenal.

Winter!

!

The ball rubbed the goal post and hit the billboard behind it with a dull winter sound.

Just by hearing the sound, you can feel the power of this shot.

Not to mention that the shooter is more than 20 meters away from the goal.

After trying a long shot without success, Lekai shook his head helplessly and turned to participate in the defense.

Moreover, Paul Mossen, who was on the Sky Sports commentary desk, praised repeatedly; "That's right, a clean shot, this is how Arsenal should play. In the previous game, Arsenal played too slowly, and even the shot was weak!"

Dixon: "Kai's return has played a very positive role for Arsenal, especially in terms of morale. It can be seen that the Gunners played very positively in this game."

In the stadium, Lekai opened his hands and shouted: "Turn back to defense! Get in position quickly after the attack! Get ready to compete for the header!"

The opponent's goalkeeper kicked out.

Lekai quickly made a judgment on the landing point, rushed up, staring at the pressure exerted by the two Hull City players, and Lekai headed the ball to Wilshere's feet.

"Attack!"

After landing, Lekai yelled.

Wilshere also started quickly and launched an attack.

However, Lekai did not intend to participate in the attack. After Kante was not on the field, he needed to take on more defensive work.

Even without Lekai, Arsenal's counterattack in the front was still very threatening.

Wilshere passed the opponent's midfielder and passed the ball to the left wing.

Mane rushed to catch up and made a direct cross.

He had no hesitation at all and had no intention of sticking to the ball.

The cross flew to the back post.

Aubameyang fought fiercely with the opponent's full-back, flew up, and used the arch of his foot to push the ball to the middle again.

Lukaku overpowered the opponent's central defender and scored the first goal with a header.

After scoring, Lukaku roared excitedly.

This goal is awesome!

The whole process was extremely smooth and without any delay. This was the attack they should have played.

Smiles also appeared on the faces of other Arsenal players.

Mourinho on the sidelines nodded repeatedly. This goal was indeed beautiful.

However, the coaching bench on the Hull City side was not calm.

Head coach McPherson shouted loudly on the sidelines. He was very dissatisfied with the suppression of the midfield.

Before the game, he told the players to play tougher in the midfield, but he only saw weakness.

"He is only one person! Why are you suppressed by the three of you?!"

"Go up! Fight him!"

McPherson yelled at the players, and the expressions of the Hull City midfielders gradually became gloomy.

If it was so easy to suppress, the opponent would not be called Lucky.

Even if the head coach proposed a task, can this task really be completed?

Let them suppress Lucky in the midfield.

This is a fantasy.

Manchester City didn't dare to say this when they came, let alone them.

Sometimes they think the head coach is a little too idealistic.

The first goal came in the 23rd minute, but the second goal came just 4 minutes later.

This was a perfect midfield-frontcourt linkage.

The three forwards kept running and pulling the opponent's defense.

Finally, Lukaku passed the ball back, and Lekai seized the opportunity to get in and score.

The process was extremely smooth, and the goal was also extremely abrupt, and the goalkeeper couldn't even react.

Commentator Paul Mossen shook his head and said, "Hull City's defense is starting to have problems, they are going to be defeated by Arsenal!"

This is indeed the case. Facing Aubameyang's speed and Lukaku's strength, Hull City's defense can't stand such huge pressure at all.

Especially the latter, they were all afraid when Lukaku went into the penalty area.

They were completely unable to compete with the opponent in terms of physical strength and tonnage.

Head coach McPherson also saw the problem.

He turned around and shouted; "Maguire! Go warm up!"

Wow!

!

!

!

Hull City fans at the scene suddenly burst into huge cheers.

This cheer was very sudden, and the players also subconsciously looked towards the sidelines.

They saw a sturdy Hull City player warming up.

Lekai also looked over, and the more he looked, the more familiar he looked.

Isn't this an aircraft carrier?

David Maguire, also known as the aircraft carrier turning around, describes his slow turn.

As the future captain of Manchester United, Maguire made a lot of jokes in the game.

For example, he took the initiative to report teammates for fouls

Pulling teammates in defense and leading to a goal.

The most classic one is undoubtedly the surprisingly slow aircraft carrier turning around.

But is Maguire really weak?

Lekai doesn't think so.

Maguire in the later period of Manchester United has been thoroughly studied, and after two seasons of full attendance, it is inevitable that such a heavy player will decline in state.

[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended a book-chasing app to me! It's really useful. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.]

But Maguire is still in a good competitive state now.

And he may be one of the few players who can physically compete with Lukaku in the penalty area.
