Chapter 87: 20th Goal

Campbell's appearance brought great tactical changes to Arsenal. The originally suppressed situation was reversed, and Arsenal's offense began to play well.

"Mourinho's substitution was effective immediately. We never thought that in the face of such a situation, the final solution was to replace the center forward. Compared with Lukaku, Campbell is a player who is better at running and is more likely to actively fight in the frontcourt."

"And Arsenal took advantage of this to continuously control the area in the frontcourt, while pressing and looking for opportunities to score!"

"From the substitution to the current position, Campbell's role has been fully reflected!"

Zhan Jun said with emotion: "This is the command ability of the world-famous coach on the battlefield. Any head coach will become difficult to make a decision when facing such an emergency. It is obviously a very difficult thing to find an answer in a short time, but Arsenal did it, and Mourinho also showed his command talent!"

The camera was aimed at the sidelines, and Mourinho kept clapping and shouting!

Compared to the previous silence, Mourinho at this time seemed more active.

No one can understand Mourinho's mood. The feeling of finally solving the problem is very refreshing, and it is a hit.

Although there is suspicion of gambling here, he bet right!

Assistant coach Arteta on the side is also trying to collect information. He found that this style of play is also suitable for Arsenal.

Arsenal is a team that is good at pressing, especially the strong midfield line can provide great help.

If this pressing force is radiated to the front court, it will be more perfect.

No one will dislike their tactical reserves. From the current situation, this tactic is really worth doing.

Arsenal's offense began to become stable, and the rhythm was gradually mastered by Lucky.

This change made Liverpool feel a little anxious.

This is not the situation they want to see.

However, for now, the biggest threat to them is the No. 19!

Campbell is still running!

His abundant physical energy can enable him to complete the role of a troublemaker in the front court. Even if he is not good at teamwork and pressing and intercepting, in the sport of football, as long as you can run, opportunities will always come.

In the 73rd minute, Liverpool finally made a mistake.

Due to Campbell's tight frontcourt pressing, central defender Lovren misjudged the position of the defensive player when he passed the ball forward.

The ball failed to reach his teammates, but was kicked to Campbell by Wilshere.

At this time, Campbell took the ball with his back to the goal. If it was Lukuka, he would have used his body to confront and seek opportunities to turn around.

But Campbell did not have such a strong body, and his role was more of a fulcrum.

Pass the ball to both sides!

He has done this kind of training many times, and even now he will do some of this kind of mobile warfare with Aubameyang and Mane.

The tacit understanding they saw was still very good.

Almost without looking at people, in this position, this position, they all knew how to pass next, run like this!

Campbell twisted his waist at a small angle and fiercely dunked the ball with his right foot.

The ball went through Van Dijk's side and came in front of Aubameyang.

Aubameyang accelerated his sprint.

The two men acted almost at the same time, so even when Liverpool full-back Arnold raised his hand to signal, the referee remained indifferent.

Aubameyang chose to cut inside with the ball, and even stopped and dribbled past Arnold's last limit.

Facing the retreating Van Dijk, Aubameyang dribbled the ball and tried to shake off the opponent.

He did succeed.

But when Van Dijk fell, he pulled, which prevented Aubameyang from catching up with the ball in the first time, and the latter chose to fall to the ground directly.

"Hey!

!"

Aubameyang sat in the penalty area with his hands raised high, signaling to the referee that this was a foul.

Liverpool players also surrounded the referee nervously.

The referee showed a red card to Van Dijk and immediately pointed to the penalty spot.

Liverpool was furious!

It's okay to give a penalty, but a red card?

Arsenal was happy.

If Van Dijk was sent off with a red card, it would be great news for them.

At this time, Lekai noticed that Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson ran towards the referee.

The two began to communicate.

Alisson gestured with his hands and feet, and it was unclear what he was saying, and the referee's expression also showed a hint of thinking.

After a while, he came to Van Dijk again, crossed his hands, and indicated that the red card was invalid.

It was immediately changed to a yellow card!

This set of operations made Lekai stunned.

So, it has to be you, Alisson!

Negotiating goalkeeper!

Liverpool avoided being sent off with a red card, but Arsenal did get a penalty.

Lekai wrapped the ball in his jersey and wiped it, then kissed it gently, and then put it on the penalty spot.

Lekai did not communicate with Alisson at all

The latter also had no intention of speaking.

For the goalkeeper, Neuer's previous experience is right in front of him. When taking a penalty, don't talk to Lekai or provoke him. This is something they tacitly agree to.

[To be honest, I have been using reading books to catch up recently, changing sources, and reading aloud with many voices, both Android and Apple are available. ]

"Lekai stood at the penalty spot. Lekai's ability to take penalties is still very stable. In various competitions, Lekai has taken 33 penalties, scored 30, and only missed three times!"

"Facing such an efficient penalty taker, the pressure is on Alisson!"

After the referee's test, Lekai began to retreat.

The most challenging thing about penalties is the rhythm.

The rhythm of the run-up, how to disrupt the goalkeeper's judgment and deceive the goalkeeper to score a penalty.

Lekai is very experienced in this regard.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn.

Both Liverpool fans and Arsenal fans held their breath.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere spread to the whole stadium.

And Lekai was the focus of the whole stadium.

Mourinho and Arteta even hugged each other's shoulders and relied on each other.

They were also very nervous.

"Must score!"

Mourinho whispered.

At this time, Lekai started to run up.

Everyone's heart began to pound.

Lekai's run-up was very fast, and there was a small pause before the goal, which was a staggered rhythm.

At this time, Alisson's right shoulder sank, but his right leg remained straight, giving people a weird feeling.

If it were ordinary people, they would be fooled by Alisson in a flash.

But Lekai didn't rely on these to judge the penalty.

"Go!"

The ball showed a diagonal line, accurately hit the right goal post, and bounced into the net.

The angle was extremely tricky.

And Alisson's fake move failed to deceive Lekai, but instead shook his center of gravity and sat on the ground.

"Lekai chose the lower right corner! It was very easy to score this penalty. Arsenal equalized the score with Lekai's penalty!"

Zhan Jun's voice was mixed with some complicated emotions.

Zhang Lu on the side exhaled slowly and said, "Alisson's right shoulder sank. We all thought he would pounce to the right, but his feint made him lose his center of gravity."

"Of course, Lekai was very determined to take this penalty kick. He didn't care about you at all and just hit the dead corner! At this angle and this speed, it's hard to save it even if you make a judgment!"

Wow!

!

! --

With Lekai's goal, the Arsenal fans at the scene began to cheer loudly.

In the second half, they finally tied the score.

This was exciting news for them.

Liverpool held their heads with regrets on their faces.

They led for a long time, but ultimately failed to keep the advantage.

The Arsenal fans at the scene also began to call out Lekai's name.

Lekai came to the bottom of the away fans' stand and interacted with Arsenal fans, and the atmosphere became even more excited.

And with Lekai's goal, the morale of the Arsenal players was also boosted.

Even Lukaku, who was substituted off the field, was waving his arms vigorously.

For any player, victory is exciting.

Of course, this is an equalizer, but the goal is like this, it always makes people feel extremely excited.

But soon, Lukaku couldn't laugh anymore.

He stared at Luka, muttering; "Is this the 20th goal?"

Luka is only one goal away from him!

Who is the team's main shooter when he falls to the ground?

Now, Lukaku's sense of urgency is even greater.

If he continues at this pace, he may really be squeezed out of the top spot on the scorer list by Luka.

And it's not just Luka, there is also Harry Kane from Tottenham.

Lukaku is extremely depressed.
