Chapter 68 Captain! Beautiful Pull!
After the score was tied, Arsenal's attack frequency became much faster.
Especially when Manchester City's attack failed, Arsenal's counterattack speed was extremely fast and very decisive.
Coupled with the decline in the physical fitness of Manchester City players, their defensive strength also declined a lot.
But the most important thing is the sound in the entire stadium.
Lekai's shouts ran through the whole stadium, and he reminded and encouraged his teammates all the time.
In contrast, Manchester City seemed a little too quiet.
Everyone was playing football with their heads down. Although there was some communication, the frequency of communication was not much.
In this case, the pressure on Manchester City became greater and greater.
The most obvious one was Guardiola.
The emotional changes of the head coach can well show the environment in which the team is in.
Guardiola's overly excited performance, especially after being intercepted and violated, his exaggerated body movements and frustrated expressions were rarely seen in Barcelona.
But it always appears in this game.
In this regard, the commentator understood that
"Arsenal put too much pressure on Manchester City. Since there is no one to share the pressure, Guardiola has to bear the pressure alone, which makes Guardiola's emotional changes more obvious."
"But we can also understand that after all, this game determines the issue of Champions League qualification. Guardiola and Manchester City naturally don't want to lose the victory of this game!"
"But Guardiola also needs to control his emotions, after all, the players on the field are watching him!"
After Andy Gray finished speaking, Richard shook his head and said: "Since Kompany got injured, Guardiola's pressure has become greater. We have underestimated Kompany's influence on this Manchester City!"
"Just like in the Arsenal team, there are two pressure sharing points, one is Mourinho, and the other is One is Kai! "
"And these two people solved and shared this problem very well. "
"In an interview with Mourinho, Mourinho also said that when he was emotional after losing the ball, Kai would always remind him on the field to control his emotions. The head coach's irritability and anxiety would affect the players' performance on the field. "
"And Kai is very clear about this, so Arsenal can continue to move forward steadily! "
"On the other hand, Manchester City does not have such players! Even Kompany can't do Kai's level, so what I want to say is that the most valuable thing Wenger gave Arsenal is not the proud transcript, but Kai the player! "
"His existence can prevent Arsenal from having too huge problems on the field in the future. "
Richard's analysis made many fans nod in agreement.
Since Luka became the captain of Arsenal, Arsenal's performance has been seen by everyone.
If the factors of seniority and retirement are abandoned, Luka is likely to be the most outstanding captain of Arsenal.
His ability, his spiritual attributes, his leadership role, etc. are constantly pushing Arsenal forward.
It can even be said that a large part of Arsenal's Champions League title is due to Lucky.
At that time, everyone thought that Lucky's performance in the Champions League finals was not so impressive, but you have to know that Wilshere, who completed the lore in the Champions League final, turned back because of Lucky.
Without this link, whether Arsenal can win the Champions League is questionable.
So, who dares to say that Lucky didn't play a role?
The game time passed little by little.
The game was in a stalemate.
The fans of both teams at the scene also became nervous.
After all, this game determines the issue of Champions League qualification.
Although it is not the final qualification, being able to enter the Champions League qualification circle in the points battle can gain a lot of initiative.
Whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, they don't want to give up this qualification.
But the game must be decided after all.
What is slightly friendly to Manchester City is that they can accept a draw.
But Arsenal can't!
The time is counted into 80 minutes, and Manchester City's rhythm has obviously slowed down.
These guys are probably thinking of a draw.
Lekai thought about it and ran towards Kante.
"Let's change positions!"
The ball has always been controlled by De Bruyne and launched an attack.
It is difficult for Lekai to restrict on the other side.
Frequent position changes are not friendly to Arsenal's defense.
Therefore, Lekai needs to change positions with Kante.
Once Lekai grabs the ball, Arsenal can directly launch a counterattack.
"More pressing in front, there is not much time left in the game, squeeze out your physical strength!"
Lekai shouted.
This is to sprint in the last time.
Arsenal's players also understand what Lekai means.
Therefore, when Manchester City organized again, the pressure suddenly increased.
Wilshere, Lukaku, Aubameyang and Mane were all running around in the opponent's half, and Lekai kept a close eye on De Bruyne, making it impossible for the opponent to hold the ball comfortably.
Even if he got the ball, he could not complete the work of turning and passing the ball.
This hindered Manchester City's attack.
Of course, the most important thing is that their passing and controlling system is also subject to certain limitations.
There are 10 minutes left before the end of the game. In the final period, they must squeeze out all their energy and win.
Before that, Arsenal needs to create opportunities!
"Arsenal started to exert force! They were obviously unwilling to accept a draw. They launched a more intense press under Kai's reminder!"
Andy Gray also suddenly became serious.
Arsenal's playing style has changed, becoming more aggressive and proactive.
He is no longer looking for defense, but reveals a desire to score goals in defense.
In the 80th minute, Manchester City's physical fitness declined, which was a good opportunity for Arsenal.
Once pressure is put on the opponent, mistakes are likely to occur.
It’s not possible, it’s certain!
Lucky looked focused. He kept scanning the frontcourt, trying to seize this fleeting opportunity.
At this moment, he saw Wilshere and Mane surrounding Yaya Toure.
If it were before, Yaya Toure would not be afraid of this kind of pressing.
But now Yaya Toure is older, and after 80 minutes of the game, his physical fitness has seriously declined.
The opportunity has come!
Lucai's eyes lit up and he started working instantly.
At the same time, Mane and Wilshere also snatched the ball from Yaya Toure.
Although Yaya Toure fell to the ground and raised his hand to signal a foul, the referee ignored it.
Arsenal launched a counterattack.
Lucky sprinted all the way, and when approaching the opponent's penalty area, the opponent's defenders also noticed Lucky.
"Watch him!"
Lucky's header ability makes Manchester City fearful.
Sabaleta took the initiative to lean towards Lucky.
But the next second, Lucai touched his feet and rushed towards the back point.
Dagger or penalty kick?
Sabaleta was stunned for a moment.
But it was this stunned look that made Lukaku accurately seize the opportunity and jump immediately.
“Middle! Rescue!
Chrissy turned to look over, his eyes widening.
He saw that Sabaleta failed to take off, but Lukaku's forehead had already touched the ball and he headed hard towards the Manchester City goal.
The ball bounced off the ground and went from the goalkeeper's feet into the goal.
In the 84th minute, Arsenal took the lead again with Lukaku's goal.
At the same time, it also establishes a chance for victory!
"Roar!
!
! ——”
On the sidelines, Mourinho excitedly performed his classic slide again.
His face was full of excited roars, and behind him were the excited Arsenal fans.
Violent cheers enveloped the entire stadium.
Wow!
!
!
——
In the final stages of the game Arsenal finally took the lead again.
Arsenal players were celebrating, and Lukaku immediately pointed at Lucky.
"Captain, you pulled it beautifully!"
If there was no Lucky to help pull out the side and attract Sabaleta's attention, Lukaku would not be able to easily jump for the top.

Although Lucky did not have an assist, it does not mean that he did not have any achievements.
Lucky and Lukaku hugged each other and laughed loudly.
Other Arsenal players also surrounded the two.
Lucky smiled and actually picked up the 200-pound Lukaku.
Lukaku was surprised by such a hug.
He is self-aware of his own tonnage, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to carry him.
But Lucky not only picked him up, but also bumped him up twice.
At this moment, he had a new understanding of Lucky's power.
