Chapter 10 Heel Pass

"Sunderland had the ball stolen, they rushed too hard, and Sagna passed the ball to Kai! Oh!!!! Back-of-foot pass!!! -"

During the game, Lucky stood near the center circle waiting for the ball to be passed in place. At the same time, his head was constantly twisting left and right to observe the movement of his teammates.

He saw someone coming quickly to the left rear, obviously trying to stop Lucai from turning around.

At this time, Lucky turned his back to pick up the ball, and finally glanced at Podolski. Then he straightened his right foot, lightly hooked his toes, and tilted his whole body to the left.

The Sunderland defensive players behind him subconsciously followed.

But Lucky suddenly raised his right leg straight, turned it out, and used the heel of his foot to poke the ball suspended near his waist hard.

The ball suddenly flew diagonally forward from the right!

And Podolski just appeared at the landing point.

Podolski was shocked inside, but he had no time to react and urgently gave the ball to Walcott.

The sudden movement gave Sunderland's defense no time to react.

They could only watch as Walcott entered the penalty area and then fired furiously!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL !!!"

"Walcott scored his second goal this season! This is also the Gunners' second goal in this game!"

"After losing to Stoke City away from home in the last round, Arsenal quickly made adjustments and regained their form!"

"And let's take a look at Kai's back-foot pass. It's definitely the best pass of the week!!"

The Arsenal fans at the scene were shouting wildly.

Lucky also let out a long sigh of relief and looked depressed.

In the last round of the game, they were beaten by Stoke City away from home.

Lucky gets upset when he thinks of that game.

Stoke City's aerial tactics are famous, with four big men over 1.9 meters tall, plus Crouch.

Every corner kick from Stoke City is a nightmare for Arsenal!

On the defensive end, only Lucky and Mertesacker, who is 198cm tall, have some effect.

Mertesacker can compare his height with his opponent.

Lucky used his ability to foresee and jump ahead of time.

But he is not omnipotent and cannot prevent every attack. Arsenal eventually lost to Stoke City 1:2.

And that game also interrupted Arsenal's winning streak.

In the 78th minute, Lucky was replaced.

Following the last injury, Wenger will give Lucky enough rest time to prevent injuries and other problems from recurring.

As long as the game is basically stable, he will replace Lucky and rest.

Lucky walked off the field and sat down on the bench.

Patrice handed over a bottle of water, and Lucky stuffed it into his mouth and started squeezing it.

"You didn't take a long shot!"

Lucky was stunned for a moment: "No?"

Patrice said seriously; "I pay attention, but you really don't."

Lucky scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "The kicking was too intense!"

Patrice smiled and shook his head and said, "But that back-foot pass was beautiful."

"Right!" Lucky's eyes lit up. He might not be able to pass that pass if he tried again.

Patrice stood up and said, "Go back and continue practicing long-range shots, and you haven't even hit a single long-range shot!"

Lucky grinned.

The 90-minute game is over.

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Sunderland 2-0 at home and won again.

As of the end of the fifth round of the Premier League, Arsenal has a record of 4-0-1 and a total of 12 points, ranking first in the standings.

This is their best start in the past few years.

But Tottenham Hotspur are close behind with the same points.

Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City have a record of 3-1-1, with a total of 10 points.

So far though, Arsenal are off to a great start.

But how they can survive the mid-term and late-term in a stable manner is a question.

After all, Arsenal misses a lot in the middle and late stages.

Injuries are still a problem for them, and there are too many blind people in the team!

Of course, for now, Arsenal's performance this season is worthy of recognition.

And riding on this trend, they are about to usher in their first Champions League group match!

Group F, where Arsenal is located, is known as the group of death. Marseille, Dortmund and Naples are all powerful teams in their respective leagues and are extremely difficult to deal with.

It is impossible for Arsenal to qualify easily.

Their first Champions League game will be on September 19th, when they go to France to face Marseille away from home!

As the second place in Ligue 1 last season, it is also the only French club to have won the Champions League.

Marseille has a rich history, but its strength is a thing of the past.

Although Marseille is no longer its former glory, it still has certain combat capabilities.

Arsenal will not underestimate the opponent either.

Especially when playing away from home, Arsenal faced it with the strongest lineup.

"We must restrict this guy when we play Marseille!"

In the tactical room, Wenger took a picture of a short figure on the projector and said.

Lucky also looked at the big screen seriously.

Mathieu Valbuena, the current core midfielder of the French national team, is nicknamed the "Dwarf Tiger". He is good at dribbling, passing, and shooting. He is an all-rounder.

He is especially good at passing all kinds of fatal short passes and is extremely threatening.

Of course, he is most famous for the "video door" incident, which also caused Valbuena and Benzema to miss the French national team.

Clap!

Wenger was clapping, which also made Lucky come back to his senses.

Wenger looked at him and said, "This guy is left to you!"

Lucky nodded.

He was not surprised at all.

Use me in a tough battle, and I will win!

Now Arsenal depends on Lucky's performance in terms of defensive restrictions. Once Lucky falls, Arsenal's defense will basically collapse.

However, Arsenal's players are very confident in Lucky.

This season, Lucky's progress is obvious.

Although Wenger currently lets Lucky take charge of more defensive matters, they are curious about how this guy will perform once all the restrictions on Lucky are lifted and he is promoted to the position of tactical core again.

The entire tactical meeting lasted more than an hour before it ended.

On the other hand, Marseille coach Elie Pope is also studying the Champions League match against Arsenal.

Elie Pope was the fire-fighting coach who took over from France national team coach Deschamps in 2012.

Last season, he led Marseille to the runner-up position in the league and won the recognition of the vast majority of fans, which also made him famous for a while.

But now, he needs to face the pressure from the Premier League Gunners Arsenal.

As a Frenchman, Professor Wenger is an object that Elie Pope cannot catch up with, but he will not admit defeat. He will do his best to prevent Arsenal from taking anything away from here.

But where to start is a problem.

If it was Arsenal two years ago, he would not have such a headache.

To be honest, Arsenal is a little difficult to target now.

On the offensive end, there are a group of good players such as Suarez, Podolski, Walcott, Cazorla, etc.

On the defensive end, there is the captain of Arsenal!

He has studied the Chinese man's playing style. To be honest, Valbuena may not be able to face him head-on.

Even Gignac and Payet could hardly escape the clutches of that guy.

The Chinese man's playing style was nothing like that of a 19-year-old boy.

Steady! Decisive! Swift and deadly!

Obviously, if Marseille wants to win, their forward line must get past Arsenal's No. 4 defensive line.

This is the most critical issue.

Otherwise, nothing can be discussed.

In the end, Eli Pope can only pin his hopes on Payet and Andre Ayew.

I hope these two guys can use their speed to beat Lucky.

Otherwise, there is no better way.

Eli Pope looked up at the ceiling, his eyes seemed to be looking through the wall at the sky of Marseille.

In a trance, he saw a huge plane breaking through the clouds and rumbling forward.

This is the plane carrying the Premier League giant Arsenal Club!

The Gunners landed in Marseille and will play their first Champions League group match with them!
