Chapter 29: Bad Substitution

Is Neymar strong?

Strong! Very strong!

Neymar's ability is second to none in the football world, and his various values ​​are ridiculously high. He is an extremely strong threat point on the offensive end.

For this reason, many teams are afraid of Neymar's ability, so they adopt a more "violent" defensive method.

That is to invade!

This is also one of the most direct and effective ways. Although the means are unsightly, it has enough value.

As for other remarks that Neymar is the last samba dancer or handsome and was invaded, they are more one-sided.

At this time, Neymar's white socks have been stained with a layer of green, and even his legs are red and swollen. Obviously, Arsenal has taken good care of him.

As a technical single core, this is a situation that must be faced.

Lucky has also played the role of a single core, but unlike Neymar, Lucky is not a technical type.

And his activity space is large, which avoids invasion to a certain extent, and even if he is invaded, Lucky will not sit and wait like Neymar. If necessary, he will even roll up his arms and take his teammates to defeat the opponent.

This attitude of Lucky made other players and even the team worry about the cost of offending Lucky.

In a word, Neymar was too weak when he was offended.

If there was a tougher character in their team, the game would be easier to play.

But Paris obviously didn't have such a character.

Even Thiago Silva, the captain, was a man who kept things quiet, which caused Arsenal to still play Neymar.

However, Arsenal paid two yellow cards for this fight.

Fortunately, only Kante received a yellow card on the defensive end.

The game time slowly passed, and Paris Saint-Germain's attack still didn't work.

The referee blew the whistle for the halftime break.

Arsenal led Paris Saint-Germain 1:0 in the first half.

Arsenal can enter the second half with a more relaxed attitude.

Both sides returned to their respective locker rooms and began to make tactical arrangements for the second half.

Mourinho's attitude was very clear. Continue to play in the first half, which is a word "do it"!

Arsenal's powerful sniping and invasion tactics in the midfield have achieved great success.

Coupled with the referee's fear of playing cards, Arsenal naturally became more unscrupulous.

On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain was a mess.

The two wingers who were highly expected failed to play the effect, and the center forward Cavani failed to score in the only single-handed situation in the first half.

Cavani's problem of spitting cakes is not the first or second time.

"We must find a more effective way!"

"We played too weak in the midfield! Hey! We should fight with them instead of just giving in!"

"Everyone is kicking Neymar, but no one is helping him!"

"The offense should be more resolute!"

"What about defense? When attacking, can you also think about the problem of being counterattacked? After Arsenal's counterattack started, our defense line couldn't bear it at all!"

Everyone expressed dissatisfaction.

After the whole first half, a lot of problems were exposed.

And many of them cannot be changed overnight.

Mbappe was silent.

Although he is a supernova, he is still an 18-year-old boy. He was unhappy with the game, so he remained silent and protested in this way.

Neymar was actively communicating, but at this time he was using ice packs to cool his ankles and knees. Obviously, he was not in good condition after the first half of the game.

After arguing, he still couldn't find a suitable solution.

Emery didn't find any good solution either. He could only use the lineup in the first half and still pin his hopes on Neymar.

The halftime break was over.

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

Arsenal was still full of fighting spirit, but the players of Paris Saint-Germain on the opposite side frowned.

Compared with the bright smiles at the beginning of the game, they all turned into bitter faces at this time.

Of course, the deterrent power of Lekai's world wave was too great.

This not only injected a shot of adrenaline into Arsenal, but also brought great pressure to Paris Saint-Germain.

At this time, Paris still lacked foundation.

They have not been able to completely break away from the ‘Miracle Night at Camp Nou’ last season.

In the new season of the Champions League, they want to rely on a brand new lineup to regain some confidence.

But they didn’t expect such a fucked-up grouping to make them face Arsenal in the first game.

Is Arsenal strong?

This is the first echelon of the Champions League, and one of the favorites to win the championship. How can it not be strong?

And Arsenal is not the type of favorite to die. Their current popularity is not too high, but it is indeed recognized as strong.

Arsenal’s strength is not only reflected in defense and counterattack, but also in the balance between offense and defense.

This is a comprehensive strength without shortcomings!

Ding! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The goal is shaking violently, which shows how powerful this shot is.

The Paris players turned their heads and looked over, and they all looked like they saw a ghost.

Lucky stood near the top of the penalty area. At this distance, with this shooting power and accuracy, how could this guy’s long shot be so terrifying?

"Kai's long-range shot was well controlled in terms of strength and angle, but it lacked a little bit of luck, but it was enough to shock Paris Saint-Germain. At the beginning of the second half, Kai used a long-range shot to make a stunning impact! "

"Paris must now be wary of Kai's long-range shots. If Kai continues to play like this, with his current foot feel, he is likely to penetrate the Paris goal again!"

the French commentator nervously reminded.

But Paris Saint-Germain seemed not to see it.

In other words, they saw it and thought about it, but they didn't intend to pay attention to it.

For the current Paris Saint-Germain, they are already struggling with the defense in the penalty area. Who can keep an eye on Lucky?

And compared to the threat in the penalty area, how big a threat can long shots be?

Therefore, they continue to block shots in the penalty area. As for outside the penalty area, they can do whatever they like.

"Does Paris look down on me?"

Seeing that there were no defensive players around, Lucai was really at a loss.

Generally speaking, in this case, even if it is not targeted, it should be restricted!

But at this time, there was no one around Lucai.

Only after he catches the ball will the opposing players run over without realizing it.

But can we catch up at this time?

Paris' defense somewhat surprised Lucky.

But he didn't know that Paris didn't care about him, it really couldn't free its hands.

The game entered the 60th minute, and Paris Saint-Germain made substitutions.

Rabiot, the defensive cornerstone of the midfield, came off and Draxler, who was more adept at attacking, came on.

Emery is strengthening the offensive line.

But after Rabiot came off the field, Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder was immediately overwhelmed.

In the past, Verratti could hold the ball, most likely because of the protection of Rabiot, but now that Rabiot is gone, there is Draxler who cannot retreat to defend.

The current Paris Saint-Germain was already in a hurry when being beaten back, and now it was even more chaotic.

Every time Arsenal counterattacked.

Neymar, Cavani, Mbappe and Draxler directly spread their hands in the frontcourt, with no intention of returning to defense.

On Arsenal's side, the two full-backs are pressing forward. How good is this?

What is the use of strengthening the offense?

The midfield collapsed.

Verratti was directly fucked and exploded by Lucky!

After this substitution, Paris Saint-Germain's pass was directly intercepted by Arsenal in less than three passes.

In the first half, the two sides played back and forth.

In the second half, Arsenal directly beat Paris!

Faced with this situation, the French commentator also looked ugly. He looked at Emery in the camera and said in an extremely angry tone: "This! Once! Stupid! Substitution!"

Rabiot, why are you replacing him?

Look! Was the midfielder fucked?

At this moment, Emery was also belatedly aware of the situation, but he had no better way and could only stand firm.

It has to be said that Arsenal put too much pressure on them. Under the huge pressure, head coach Emery also made a wrong substitution adjustment.

There is nothing wrong with trying to attack when you are behind, but it cannot affect the overall defense.

Substitutions are allowed in matchups, but such substitutions that weaken the defensive strength are equivalent to handing victory over.
