"e on!"

Lekai waved his fist and roared.

After completing the shot, Lekai retreated while loudly encouraging morale.

There was a little ferocity on his face. Obviously, under these pressures, Lekai's fighting spirit was also stimulated.

Chen Man brushed past Lekai, and looking at the other party's murderous eyes, his heart was secretly bitter.

Scoring a goal is certainly a good thing.

But because this goal angered Lekai, this guy will definitely increase the intensity of the game.

Facing Lekai's physical confrontation, whether his small body can withstand it is a question.

"Kai is angry! Liverpool regards him as a breakthrough, which is unacceptable to Kai. He has always been the most stable defensive point of the Gunners, and now Liverpool wants to use him to start a surgery, which is undoubtedly angering Kai and also inspiring his fighting spirit!"

Andy Gray said with relish,

Judging from Lekai's performance and the progress of the game, the next game will inevitably become more intense and more exciting.

The game restarted.

After Liverpool kicked off, Henderson passed the ball to Chen Man who was retreating.

As soon as Chen Man received the ball, his body subconsciously fell forward under the huge force.

He finally managed to stabilize his body and protect the ball.

At this time, Chen Man could hardly move.

Lekai stuck to Chen Man tightly, blocking his space to turn around.

When the two wrestled, Chen Man saw Fabinho who was responding from behind.

He passed the ball back and was about to turn around at the same time.

Fabinho also understood what Chen Man meant and directly picked up the ball and moved forward.

This was to play a two-on-one cooperation.

But when Chen Man was about to turn around, Lekai stepped sideways, blocking Chen Man's running channel on the one hand, and grabbing Chen Man's clothes on the other hand to pull Chen Man down directly.

Because the two were close to each other and Lekai's movements were very concealed, the referee did not see this small move at all.

It was just that Chen Man could not withstand the pressure and fell down in the confrontation.

Lekai chased back easily and passed the ball back to Robertson to reorganize.

"The intensity is on!"

Zhan Jun grinned.

From the moment Chen Man turned around, Lekai saw the opponent's intention and quickly restricted it.

The whole process can be called a textbook level of defense.

Close, blocking, turning, and continuing to block.

Chen Man has a lot of speed, but he was stuck by Lekai and couldn't use it.

Thanks to Lekai's outstanding performance in defense, Liverpool's right-wing attack failed.

This also made Arsenal fans a little excited.

After all, they were very worried before that Lekai would really become a breakthrough.

But from the current changes, it still played a very good effect.

Of course, the most critical thing is Lekai's adjustment and grasp of the overall process.

The ball is back at Arsenal's feet.

Under Liverpool's high-pressure pressing, Arsenal's advancement is not so easy.

Especially Liverpool's strangulation in the midfield is very thorough.

Even the forwards sometimes retreat to help relieve the defensive pressure in the midfield and backcourt, and also give Arsenal great regional pressure.

However, Arsenal is not a soft persimmon.

Even if the opponent's pressing is very fierce, they will never lose the ball easily, especially in the dangerous area.

On this basis, the offense of both sides has become more intense.

Arsenal directly transferred the ball to the wing and kicked the ball high again.

They don't play that kind of complicated offensive routine, just play the center forward Giroud and let the opponent compete for the top.

It may not be effective once or twice, but after multiple pressures, whether Liverpool can withstand it is also a question.

The most important thing is that in the process of kicking the ball high, Arsenal can also get a corner kick opportunity.

Under the corner kick tactics, Arsenal does not only have Giroud as a position to compete for the top.

Lekai in the back midfielder position will also run to the mountain to put pressure.

Arsenal's tactics in this game are very clear, that is, to play simple with you.

Use this pure confrontation and opportunity grasping ability to complete the goal.

And Liverpool just likes this.

Liverpool is not afraid of Manchester City's complex offensive system, because they can destroy these things under fierce pressure.

But Arsenal is different. They will directly hoist the ball into your most dangerous position again and again, and then rely on their own ability to continue to exert pressure.

What's more, in addition to Giroud, there is a battering ram sitting on the bench of Arsenal.

"Lukaku, go warm up!"

Mourinho turned his head and shouted.

The Belgian star immediately got up excitedly to warm up.

After completing the warm-up, Lukaku returned to Mourinho.

"Your task is to compete for the first point in the middle and try to threaten the goal directly. If you want to ferry, you must leave the goal range immediately after landing!"

Lukaku also nodded.

He knew very well how precious it was to get another chance to play in the current situation.

The game time passed little by little, and the situation was still deadlocked.

Although the confrontation between the two sides in the midfield was fierce, the number of shots was very few.

Obviously, the defense of both teams was very good.

But because of this, the game became more stalemate.

Any goal can bring huge changes to this game.

Liverpool still tried to attack from the right wing, letting Chen Man chase the ball.

But Arsenal was well prepared in the second half. Lekai knew that he was going to be hit from behind, so he would immediately limit and block Chen Man.

Robertson also started quickly and competed for the first landing point.

In this prepared situation, it was particularly difficult for Chen Man to chase the ball.

During the frequent sprints back and forth, he failed to pose a threat, but instead stretched his physical strength a bit.

"Chen's threat on the wing began to decrease, which was due to a series of adjustments made by Arsenal in the midfield!"

"And Chen's physical fitness seemed to have problems. With continuous sprints back and forth, he might not be able to last 90 minutes!"

As the commentator said, Chen Man's physical fitness still had problems at this time.

This also prevented him from running as fast as in the first half, and his technical movements were slightly deformed.

At this point, Chen Man's role was over.

At this time, the game time just entered the 65th minute.

Liverpool made the first substitution gesture.

Immediately afterwards, Arsenal also made substitutions immediately.

Liverpool replaced two people at once.

Chen Man and Wijnaldum went off the court.

Milner and Sturridge came on the court.

Arsenal replaced Giroud with Lukaku.

Both sides have strengthened their key positions.

This also shows that the focus of the game should move in other directions.

Lekai watched Chen Man go off the court, and he was relieved in his heart.

This guy has caused a lot of trouble for Lekai. Now that he sees the other party go off the court, Lekai's pressure is also slightly relieved.

He can even have spare energy to try to attack forward.

Sure enough, Lukaku walked towards Lekai and said, "The coach asked you to take over the offensive rhythm."

Lekai nodded, he understood what Mourinho meant.

The confrontation in the midfield is still the key, and Lekai's passing gives Arsenal too much bonus.

At this time, they also wanted Lekai to break the current deadlock with a pass.

For this reason, Lekai's position was slightly forward.

Of course, Liverpool did not pay attention to this slight change.

At this time, they also focused on how to break Arsenal's goal.

After Chen Man left the field, Liverpool's offense must be transferred.

Salah and Firmino will also get more offensive resources.

But whether they can play the effect, they also have to try to verify.

After the substitution, the combat effectiveness of both sides has improved.

Arsenal still maintains the previous high ball routine.

For Van Dijk, he was painful.

Before, he had to deal with Giroud, which consumed a lot of his energy and physical strength. When he felt that he could finally limit the opponent, a lively Lukaku came again.

Now, Van Dijk's pressure has increased linearly.

Fortunately, he also has a central defender partner, and Matip has become his best helper to stabilize the situation.

"Arsenal once again hoisted the ball into Liverpool's penalty area. Facing Van Dijk and Matip's double-team, can Lukaku get it?"

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Lukaku was surrounded by the two men. Not only did he fail to touch the ball, he also fell heavily.
