Chapter 93: Another Battle with the Bumblebee

In the locker room, Arsenal players are preparing for the game.

Waves of cheers poured in, which inspired their hearts.

Wenger did not make tactical arrangements before the game. He had said everything he needed to say. How the game would play out would depend on the players' performance on the field.

Patales personally put the captain's armband on Lekai, and then gently patted Lekai's shoulder.

Lekai tightened the captain's armband, turned around, clapped his hands, and said, "Guys! Come here! Let's form a circle!"

Arsenal players, including the head coach, came over one after another.

Everyone put their arms around each other's shoulders and stood in a group.

Even Wenger joined in.

Lekai put his arm around Wenger's shoulder on the left, and Patales on the right.

Lekai looked around and said, "This is the last game of the Champions League group stage. We have achieved good results here. We have a perfect start, and now we need to get a perfect ending!"

"Guys, many people want to laugh at us. For those dirty rats, they want to see us fail and then ridicule us, but we won't give them this opportunity!"

There seemed to be a fire burning in everyone's eyes.

Lekai knocked the team logo on his chest twice and said, "Remember the feeling of this moment, and feel the feeling brought to us by this jersey. Arsenal is a giant. This is the honor given to it by people in the past, and what we have to do is to make it go further!"

"Rise? No! We are creating a new future!"

"Confidence in me, when we get enough results and our names are engraved in Arsenal's team history, that moment is when we should be proud!"

"I think I don't need to motivate you more. At this moment, all kinds of voices from all directions are conveying their expectations to us!"

In the locker room, it suddenly became quiet.

The cheers from the outside world were getting louder and louder, and the enthusiastic shouts were inspiring everyone on the scene.

Lekai said in a deep voice: "I only have one thing to say!"

"Don't let them down!"

Lekai's body sank suddenly, and at the same time he shouted loudly; "Arsenal!!!"

Everyone roared in unison.

"Forward! Forward!! Forward!!!"

Lekai suddenly stood up and clapped his hands loudly; "Let's play a beautiful game at home, let's use victory to hit the faces of those who want to laugh at us!"

"Go, guys!"

Lekai turned around and led the way out of the locker room, and the Arsenal players followed closely.

They had a firm look in their eyes.

They were going to win this game!

After arriving at the player's tunnel, the Dortmund players were already standing there, and their faces were also extremely serious.

Obviously, Dortmund would not easily give up the first place in the group.

Lekai walked straight to the front without looking sideways, and then turned his head to take a look.

Reus wore the captain's armband and stood at the front of the player's tunnel.

With Kyle not on the roster and Hummels still injured, Reus became Dortmund's captain.

However, Reus was obviously a little nervous.

Lekai noticed that Reus' eyes were straining, and his fists were tightening and loosening from time to time to relieve his inner tension.

Reus was indeed very nervous.

After all, this was his first time playing as a captain.

In the past, there was always Kyle or Hummels, and he didn't need to worry about these.

But now that he has become the captain on the field, a kind of pressure arises spontaneously, and he must show enough performance.

At this time, the referee turned around and shouted:

"Get ready to play!"

Reus blinked, was he going to shout?

Just as he was about to open his mouth, a loud roar came from the side.

"Forward!!!!"

"Arsenal!!!"

Reus failed to shout, and when he wanted to shout again, it was too late.

The referee had already walked out, and they had to follow him out.

Reus was a little aggrieved.

He was preempted by Lekai.

Lekai also noticed that Reus's face was a little red, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Rookie captain's first experience!

Reus's appearance reminded him of the first time he wore the captain's armband, and the nervousness was unimaginable.

When choosing the side, Reus failed to guess and showed annoyance.

Lekai couldn't help but laugh secretly. Compared with the experienced old captain of the Hornets in the future, Reus is now very immature.

"The game that is about to begin is Arsenal's home game against Dortmund in the 2014/2015 season. This sixth round of the Champions League group will determine the first place in Group D. Dortmund must win this game and score as many goals as possible, so that they can get the first place in the group if they have the same points!"

The starting lineups of both sides.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Chambers, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal.

Midfielders: Di Maria, Kante, Cazorla, Lukay, Sanchez.

Forward: Suarez.

Dortmund (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Schmelzer, Ginter, Subotic, Piszczek.

Midfielders: Grosskreutz, Gundogan, Mkhitaryan, Reus.

Forwards: Immobile, Aubameyang.

Dortmund's tactics were relatively conservative, with a 442 defensive lineup.

Arsenal continued their usual tactics, intending to use numbers to gain control of the midfield.

Suarez stood in the center circle, ready to kick off.

All eyes were on him.

When the referee blew the whistle, Suarez decisively kicked off.

After a brief inducement, Arsenal immediately launched the first wave of attack.

It was more like a sneak attack than an attack.

"Dortmund needs Kai in this game!!!!"

Andy Gray suddenly exclaimed. He saw that after Lekai pretended to pass back, he suddenly buckled his feet, passed Reus who was trying to steal, and directly bent his bow and arrow to play a long pass.

This long pass flew to Dortmund's left wing. Sanchez chased the ball with all his strength. After stopping the ball with the instep, Sanchez directly attacked the penalty area.

Piszczek rushed to grab the ball immediately, but Sanchez did a few bicycle kicks and pushed the ball to the left, squeezing through the gap at the sideline.

Piszczek immediately raised his hand to indicate that the ball had gone out of the sideline.

But the linesman put the flag close to the outside of his thigh and ran forward.

Obviously, he didn't think so.

"Be careful!!"

Piszczek turned around and shouted.

He never thought that Arsenal would suddenly do this after the opening.

At this time, Sanchez had already entered the penalty area, and Ginter and Subotic were slowly approaching Sanchez, while the other was blocking the opponent's passing angle.

Sanchez kept observing, but he missed the opportunity to pass the ball. In the end, he could only shoot reluctantly, but the ball hit Ginter's back and flew to the other side.

Schmelzer quickly followed up and kicked the ball.

The alarm in Dortmund's penalty area finally eased.

But after this big kick, Lekai accurately controlled the landing point and put the ball in his pocket.

Arsenal still has the ball!

However, Lekai did not intend to continue the raid. Dortmund had quickly retreated, and the meaning of the sneak attack no longer existed.

For this reason, Lekai transferred the ball to Kante, and he slowly moved to the right.

Arsenal still controls the initiative.

"Arsenal launched a sneak attack after the opening, and Dortmund did not expect this step, which also made them almost lose the ball. However, Ginter still defended the ball and cooperated with Schmelzer's destruction to complete the clearance, but Arsenal's threat remained, and they still controlled the ball."

Andy Gray said excitedly.

After the opening, Arsenal gave Dortmund a head start with a sneak attack.

Although they failed to score, this deterrent attack is very good.

At least it means that the Gunners are in good shape, and they play very actively and confidently!

After the first sneak attack failed, Arsenal began to pass the ball back.

However, the pressure of passing the ball back was very high.

Dortmund's pressing was not to be trifled with.

After several consecutive passes, Lucky felt that he could not bear it.

No way back!

He could not play with fire in front of his own goal. After Dortmund counterattacked, they would attack on the spot.

Therefore, Lucky passed the ball forward as much as possible, not giving Dortmund any chance to counterattack.
