Chapter 11: Standing Defense?

, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

Not only Giroud, but also players such as Xhaka, Ramsey, Koscielny, Monreal, Mustafi and others off the field seem to be a little impatient.

This season, Arsenal has a grand goal. Although head coach Mourinho has never expressed it this way, they can feel from the training status and usual words that this season, Arsenal is heading for the league and the Champions League.

The whole environment is affecting them little by little, inspiring their hearts and state.

For these substitutes, they don’t want to always sit on the bench. In a season that is likely to create glory, they don’t want to sit on the bench to accompany the water dispenser, but to fight with their opponents in the field.

Arteta was the first to discover this state. Arteta, who retired only last year, still retains the sharpness of his player period. He can clearly feel that the substitutes are eager to play.

"They want to play!"

Arteta turned to Mourinho and said.

Mourinho nodded slightly and said, "Let them hold back for a while, and then burst out when they are needed!"

At the beginning of the season, Mourinho still hopes to get through it smoothly and use the main players more to stabilize the position in the standings.

After being stable enough, Mourinho will consider the issue of substitute appearances.

And there will be FA Cup waiting for them in the future.

Although Arsenal has no idea about the FA Cup this season, it is also a good place to train soldiers.

Of course, Giroud is not among them.

After Arsenal scored a goal, the offensive became more intense.

Leicester City built a high wall on the back line and kept blocking Arsenal's attack, but they knew that if they continued like this, they would probably lose the ball again.

The most important thing is that their center forward Vardy can't get the ball at all.

So far, Vardy has only had three chances to touch the ball and no shot.

It can be seen how big Leicester City's predicament is.

In the 31st minute, Leicester City was the first to make substitutions.

Japanese player Shinji Okazaki was replaced by Andy King from Wales.

Shinji Okazaki was almost invisible in the first half. Although Andy King was not much stronger, his more active running and more balanced midfield ability might create some opportunities for Leicester City, and at least he could pass the ball to Vardy.

Of course, in addition to this, he has other tasks.

Beep! ! ! !

"FxxK!!! What do you want to do?!!"

Wilshere got up from the ground angrily and ran towards Andy King, who had just come on as a substitute.

Fortunately, his teammates were quick and stopped him. Otherwise, according to Wilshere's temper, a bad incident might have happened.

Just now, Andy King's tackle was almost aimed at someone. When he failed to tackle the ball, his feet were a few centimeters too high, causing Wilshere to fall flat on his face.

If Wilshere had not made a protective move and rolled several times to relieve the force, he might have been injured in this fall.

It's no wonder Wilshere was so angry.

In this regard, Andy King remained silent.

The referee did not give a yellow card, but a verbal warning.

The Arsenal players understood that this was a foul mission.

The purpose was to cut off Wilshere's passing channel connecting the midfield and frontcourt.

"Calm down, Jack!"

Lucky held Wilshere and said seriously; "This is a game! We have learned these methods before, you can't have any irrational behavior because of this. The opponent obviously wants to take special care of you. You can retreat appropriately!"

"I retreated, no one went forward to organize"

Lucky patted Wilshere and interrupted; "I will organize!"

Hearing this, Wilshere stopped talking.

He didn't trust other teammates, but he was very convinced of Lucky.

Although Lucky was more responsible for defense and passing, was Lucky's organizational ability weak?

In fact, if it wasn't for the purpose of better adjusting Lucky's ability balance, with Lucky's ability, he could play the position of central midfielder.

"I understand!"

Wilshere nodded. In fact, he didn't want to get injured in the first game.

Arsenal got a chance for a set-piece in the frontcourt.

However, it was a bit far from the goal, so it was sent by Robertson, the full-back.

Wilshere barely stopped the ball and passed it back to Lucky.

This also frustrated Andy King's idea of ​​continuing to provoke, but he did not give up and continued to rush towards Lucky.

After seeing this guy, Lucky immediately made a pass, tricking Andy King to move his center of gravity in the direction of the pass.

Immediately, Lucky pulled the ball and just wanted to break through, but Andy King secretly pulled the corner of Lucky's clothes.

Lucky could clearly feel the pulling force, and Lucky suddenly exerted force on his feet, his entire thigh muscles suddenly bulged, and his feet suddenly kicked.

Ah! ! ! !

Andy King was pulled back by Lucky, and he couldn't even let go.

Seeing this scene, both the fans and the players on the field couldn't help grinning.

This bull-like impact kick of Lucky is not the first time.

Any player who wants to use this trick to limit Lucky will be severely taught a lesson.

Lucky broke through Andy King's defense, and the referee judged that the offense was favorable and did not blow the whistle.

Arsenal continue to attack.

Lucky drove straight in and came directly to the penalty area. Then he raised his head and looked left and right. He immediately gave the ball to Mane, and he quickly moved forward.

This movement is to confuse the situation, and it is best to take away a defensive player.

But Leicester City were not fooled, they stood their ground and successfully blocked Mane's cross.

Roar! ! ! !

Maguire couldn't help but roar.

Just now he pushed the ball away from Lukaku's head and completed the clearance.

This also eased his depressed mood a little.

Arsenal failed to score, but they still controlled the ball.

Wilshere once again passed the ball to Lucky. Lucky did not distribute the ball, but passed it directly back.

The opponent's defense is too dense and needs to be lured out first.

Lucky himself also retreated slowly. While retreating, he observed whether there were any gaps that could be exploited.

At this time, Lucky suddenly saw an opening.

This is the gap behind the right full-back. Because the full-back is too close to Mane, as long as Lucky runs here, the opponent's defense will immediately collapse.

'Did anyone see it? ’

Lucky turned around with hope in his heart.

At this moment, Wilshere suddenly shouted; "Kay!! Run!"

Lucky turned around and ran away!

He went straight to the gap, regardless of whether Wilshere passed the ball here, he just ran over resolutely.

When Lucky was in position, the ball also flew to his feet.

Leicester City full-back Fox rushed towards Lucky in panic, but Lucky passed the ball directly back to Mane without stopping.

Fox turned his head and Mane passed the ball forward.

The ball returned to Lucky's feet again, and the two dug into a wonderful wall-to-wall collaboration.

And Lucai once again entered the penalty area.

Leicester City's defense once again sounded the alarm.

There are teammates in the middle and at the back.

There was also support from Wilshere outside the penalty area.

When Lucky is dribbling, he observes the position of his teammates.

But he did not choose to pass the ball because Leicester City's central defender did not step forward to restrict himself.

Lucky smashed the ball and took two more steps towards the goal.

Still didn't come forward to press.

Standing on defense?

Lucky was a little confused, but at this time he was already within shooting range.

Leicester City's players were also belatedly aware of the situation.

"Go! Go alone!!"

They shouted anxiously.

But before the central defender could press forward, Lucai had already moved the ball horizontally, opened up the shooting space, and shot directly.

This shot was powerful and heavy, going straight to the near corner of the ball.

But the ball's path included centre-back Morgan.

But by chance, the guy stretched out his foot to block the ball and the ball passed under his crotch.

This time, the ball seemed to be in no one's territory and went straight to the goal.

In the 42nd minute, at the end of the first half, Arsenal expanded the score.

Arsenal beat Leicester City 2:0.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL !!!"

On-site commentator George Adams roared passionately.

The Arsenal fans at the scene also jumped to their feet instantly, and their violent cheers drowned the entire stadium.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

"Goal!!! Kai!! A wonderful collaboration came from Kai and Wilshere. When everyone thought Arsenal was going to drop back and reorganize, they suddenly launched a quick attack, accurately caught the gap, and Scored a goal!”

“That’s Arsenal’s sense of space and their desire to score!!”

George Adams shouted passionately; "Forward!! Gunners!!!!!——"
