Chapter 93: Lukaku Is Satisfied

Usmanov's contribution made Arsenal once again have sufficient funds during the transfer period.

Although the Premier League players are generally strong, Arsenal has too many expenditures, causing their financial problems to be at an extremely urgent stage.

Player salaries, stadium loans, Usmanov's loans, etc. are all ways Arsenal needs to use funds, but fortunately with Usmanov's commitment, Arsenal has a lot of money left. This allows them to flex their muscles in the transfer market again.

Mourinho is now considered ambitious. During his time at Arsenal, he lived an extremely fulfilling life every day.

Mourinho is extremely satisfied with the feeling of watching the lineup he designed slowly realize its strength and move towards the goal he envisioned.

Of course, he won't stop, he still wants a lot.

With the end of the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, Arsenal need to prepare for the league again.

Their opponent in the next round is Leicester City.

The recent state of Leicester City can be described as terrible.

As the Premier League champions last season, they participated in the Champions League for the first time in this season's history and reached the knockout stages, but were quickly eliminated.

Due to too much focus on the Champions League, their results in the league are also in shambles.

The team has entered a wave of injuries, sluggish form, etc., which has made Leicester City and its fans worried.

Fortunately, their top scorer Vardy returned from injury, ensuring Leicester City's certain scoring ability.

But can Vardy be as good as he was before the injury?

This needs to be verified!

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged Leicester City away from home.

Leicester City played very well against Arsenal in the first half of the season. Although they failed to win in the end, they were still considered a strong opponent.

But it is unclear whether Leicester City can still pose a threat to Arsenal.

In the evening, fans finished their meal and poured into Leicester City's home court with beer in hand.

Leicester City fans are optimistic. Although the team's condition is not good, they still support the home team extremely.

Perhaps it was last season's championship that made them more united and loving. Despite their poor results, the team's support is still very high.

The cheers in the arena were extremely fierce!

This also proves the support of Leicester City fans for the home team from the side.

But soon, the cheers suddenly stopped, and all the Leicester City fans began to scream in surprise.

Under their gaze, Aubameyang passed the ball to the center. Lucky jumped up and suppressed the Manchester City defender.

Lucky's height in the air was very high, and he was extremely stretched in the air. However, under the protection of two defenders, Lucky was unable to head the ball and could only move forward.

When Lucai was disturbed, the flight angle of the ball was too correct, and the goalkeeper flew to block the ball.

The ball rolled back into the penalty area.

In the chaos, Lukaku squeezed out of the crowd, and the moment he fell to the ground, he poked the ball with his toe.

The ball entered the net smoothly.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

!

"

"Lukaku ushered in his 22nd goal of the season. After three consecutive games without scoring, he once again helped Arsenal score successfully!"

Amid the cheers of the commentator, Lukaku flew to the corner area, jumped up hard, and waved his arms fiercely in the air to vent his inner passion.

"In that fight just now, Lukaku really fought hard! He scored a goal under the pressure of three Leicester City defenders. Although he was pushed down by the opponent, he still ended the attack with a shovel shot!"

Zhang Lu praised: "Lukaku! This is no longer the dazed young man who was in front of the goal. With his active role in front of the goal, Arsenal took the lead in the 26th minute."

Arsenal players gathered around Lukaku to celebrate.

Lukaku is also extremely happy.

Finally, the number of goals was increased, and the pressure was somewhat reduced.

"another one!"

Lucky smiled and encouraged Lukaku.

The latter also nodded repeatedly. Who would dislike scoring less goals!

The mood of the Leicester City fans at the scene was a little low.

Although before the game they hoped that Leicester City could play a wonderful game and if possible beat Arsenal at home, even though they knew that this possibility was slim, they still looked forward to these things.

But with this goal, their expectations were completely shattered.

At this time, Leicester City fans are not only thinking, if it was last season, would they still play so passively?

The game begins again!

After Leicester City lost the ball, they started a fierce attack in a short period of time to equalize the score.

The offense is mainly based on Vardy.

But after returning from injury, Vardy seemed to have failed to find his form in his first game.

While Lucky barely paid any attention to him, Arsenal's defenders took it upon themselves to completely restrict him.

In a total of three attacks, Vardy barely managed to hit the goal once, and this shot was also a cannon in the sky, and the ball flew directly into the stands.

With Vardy unable to play his role, Leicester City's counterattack also became weak.

Arsenal, on the other hand, seized the opportunity and launched another attack.

Take advantage of your weakness to kill you!

Lekai made a precise long pass to Mane who was advancing.

Facing the defense of the opponent's defender, Mane directly made an inward pass and moved horizontally.

This inward stop was extremely smooth, not only dribbling past the opponent's full-back, but also pulling away.

As soon as he saw the opportunity to shoot, Mane did not hesitate and shot.

The ball hit the crossbar with a ding and bounced out.

And Lukaku just rushed to the landing point, jumped up hard, and scored with a header.

In the first half of 40 minutes, Lukaku scored two goals!

Now, Lukaku's happy face was full of smiles.

Two goals, this goal came too timely.

Arsenal also got a huge advantage with this goal.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Arsenal was no longer committed to attacking, but more inclined to defense.

Leicester City's attack was not strong, and there was almost no gap.

Their passing routes were blocked by Arsenal, and there was no chance at all.

In this situation, Leicester City tried their best but failed to tear open Arsenal's defense.

Until the 70th minute, Mourinho made substitutions.

Lukaku and Aubameyang were substituted.

During the process of leaving the field, Lukaku's smile was still bright. It was perfect to leave the field after scoring two goals.

Although he failed to perform a hat trick, it was enough to satisfy him.

The camera was also aimed at Lukaku off the field. As the biggest contributor of this game, Lukaku sat on the bench, chatting and laughing with his teammates next to him with a satisfied look.

"This Lukaku!"

Zhan Jun couldn't help laughing.

"The two goals widened the gap and maintained the advantage on the scorer list. Lukaku laughed like a child."

Zhang Lu also laughed; "His biggest competitor comes from the team, and he is the captain!"

When the two joked about Lukaku, exclamations suddenly broke out again in the stadium.

Leicester City's improper attack led to a loss of the ball in the center circle.

The worst thing was that the ball was intercepted by Lukay.

Lukay took the ball and ran back.

The other Arsenal players also rushed forward to pull away the defensive force for Lukay.

Lukay ran forward all the way, running very fast.

The last simple bicycle shook the center of gravity of the Leicester City defender, and after pulling away, he immediately shot.

The ball had a small arc and went into the goal from the fingertips of the goalkeeper.

Arsenal expanded the score again in injury time, which also meant that there was no suspense in the game.

Lukay's goal made Arsenal players celebrate again.

However, among the cheering crowd, there was only one expression of confusion.

Lukaku pressed his head with both hands.

How did he score?

Why was the captain the one who scored?

Is it really a ghost?

It was not easy to pull the gap to three goals, but now it has become two goals again!

Lucky scored his 21st goal of the season, which is also Lucky's single-season goal record, and this record will continue to be broken.

With Lucky's goal, the game was completely over.

Leicester City lost to Arsenal 0:3 at home and eventually lost the game.

Arsenal took the three points of victory and further stabilized their position in the standings.

This season, Arsenal must qualify for the Champions League.
