Chapter 22: Long-Range Shot
"After the game started, both sides played with enough vigilance. Neither Arsenal nor Chelsea, who played at home, launched an attack rashly!"
Andy Gray, the commentator at Sky Sports, said enthusiastically: "Of course, we can also hear that whenever Fabregas holds the ball, the Arsenal fans on the scene will burst into huge boos. It's hard to imagine that this is Arsenal's former darling!"
The huge boos made Fabregas frown a little, but he remained calm enough, controlling the ball and observing the movement of Arsenal's defense.
Fabregas gently flicked the ball to the left, but the next second, he chose to pass horizontally instead of making a threatening forward pass.
After passing the ball, Fabregas looked at the figure moving to the right in the opponent's half.
Although he felt that he knew Lucky well enough before the game.
But during the game, Lucky still put a lot of pressure on him.
That kind of keen awareness of the ball's movement made it difficult for him to pass the ball.
This guy always roams on his passing line, which makes Fabregas dare not pass forward easily.
In the first half, at 12 minutes, Chelsea was a little impatient and tried some long passes from the wing, hoping that William could chase the ball.
But William rushed into the encirclement of Vermaelen and Lukay, and the two of them reasonably intercepted the ball.
After Vermaelen got the ball, he passed it to Arteta, and Lukay also returned to his position to respond.
But Chelsea's sudden counterattack in the frontcourt caught Arsenal off guard.
This is similar to the high-pressure pressing of Barcelona and Dortmund.
It was obviously carried out consciously.
Especially under Torres' crazy sweep in the frontcourt, Arteta's organization became a little strenuous.
Lukay immediately came over to help share the pressure.
Seeing Lukay running over, Arteta immediately passed the ball with his toes.
The ball passed over Torres' head and passed to Lukay.
Lukay came to the position to unload the ball, and suddenly felt a pushing force on his back.
Obviously someone was pushing him from behind.
Lucky's body sank slightly, and while stabilizing his core, he turned his right leg outward and used the outside of his foot to gently pad the ball to avoid the sweeping ball from Torres.
As the ball landed, he stepped heavily on the outside of the ball with the inside of his right foot.
The ball bounced up from the ground under the pressure of up and down, flew between Torres and Hazard, and accurately passed it to Cazorla who retreated to receive it.
"Oh~~~ Beautiful stop pass!"
Andy Gray's scalp was numb by Lucky's stop pass.
The movement was naturally stretched, and at the same time he had to fight against Hazard and Torres.
And the movement was simply too beautiful!
Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ——
Lucky's beautiful escape made the Arsenal fans at the scene suddenly cheer.
At the same time, they gave fierce applause.
This was in sharp contrast to the previous boos.
In the Arsenal coaching booth, Patles couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Yes!!"
For two full years, Lucky has been training his ball holding ability.
After the 20th round of last season, he experienced more and more tests.
At that time, Lekai had already consciously started to hold the ball, and since the beginning of this season, Lekai's ball sense has been fully demonstrated.
Just like this stop and pass.
Relying on the perfect ball sense to pass the ball through the narrow gap in the confrontation.
If you don't have enough courage and skills, this can't be done.
But Lekai succeeded!
On the other side, in front of Chelsea's coaching bench, Mourinho stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. After seeing Lekai's series of actions, his eyebrows began to dance, but soon he became a little disappointed. .
Sufficient physical strength and perfect interception ability are already attractive enough.
Now that this kind of ball sense has been developed, it is simply fatal to Mourinho's attraction.
However, Arsenal just won't let him go, so he has to transform himself.
Thinking of this, Mourinho turned his head to look at the bench, his eyes locked on Oscar, as if to say, "See? That's how to play football! ’
After completing a connection, Lekai began to become more active.
Although he still didn't stick to the ball too much, he was always able to support his teammates, which made Arsenal's passing and control system smoother.
During the passing process, Lekai was also running forward.
At this time, Lekai was already at the front of the center circle, ready to attack at any time.
Walcott passed the ball to Lekai and immediately started at high speed towards the side.
Hazard behind him was chasing him, and Lekai ran forward two steps to open up the distance.
But just when Lekai was about to touch the ball, a foot suddenly broke into his field of vision, and the toe poked the ball away lightly.
"Fabregas, a perfect time to steal!"
After losing the ball, Lekai immediately turned his head and rushed over.
But Fabregas immediately passed the ball to William, giving Lekai no chance at all.
Lekai could only continue to run back!
At the same time, Arsenal's defense line was also shrinking rapidly.
When Willian finished his run and tried to cross the ball, Sagna and Arteta blocked him from both ends.
Willian could only pass the ball horizontally to Fabregas who was advancing.
Just as Fabregas was about to receive the ball, he heard a sound of the ball sliding on the grass.
Luka suddenly completed a sliding tackle from the side. He stretched his right leg and gently hooked the ball when it touched his foot. At the same time, he used his abdomen to complete the rotation and stood up.
"William passed the ball to Fabregas. Do you want to shoot? Oh~~~!! Kai!! Beautiful sliding tackle interception!"
Andy Gray jumped up suddenly and laughed: "Fabregas intercepted Kai's pass, and now Kai intercepted Fabregas again!! Hahaha!! This game is so interesting!"
After intercepting, Luka passed the ball to Arteta and disrupted Chelsea's attack.
But Luka was not in a good mood.
If he had retreated a little slower just now, this ball would be dangerous.
"Shit!!"
Mourinho stomped his feet angrily on the sidelines. Such an opportunity could be intercepted.
This is simply hell!
The most important thing is that Luka's running position has no rules at all.
This guy can run to the most critical connection point every time and then destroy it.
This is really fucking wanting!
After this interception, Lekai didn't dare to play like before.
Let's maintain enough advantage first!
Lekai returned to his defensive midfielder position, and immediately, as if he had turned on the switch of interception, he sniped Chelsea's attack frantically.
Suddenly, Chelsea players felt that there was an extra wall in the midfield.
A very high wall!
"Arsenal started to play more aggressively, and they had more confrontations in the midfield."
George Adams, the on-site commentator, sighed deeply.
Although Lekai's previous playing style was pleasing to the eye, this was not the rhythm that Arsenal could win.
Now Arsenal still needs Lekai's interception and interception ability.
Hum!
Fabregas groaned, and his center of gravity was unstable and began to tilt to the right, and at the same time he lost control of the ball.
He tried his best to hook the ball over, but Lekai was faster than him, and he picked up the ball and turned around.
After turning around, Lekai gently stepped forward.
Immediately raised his head to observe.
He looked at Walcott at the first moment. The long-term cooperation made the two of them have a tacit understanding, and Walcott was already ready to move.
Lekai bent his bow and drew an arrow, and hit the ball hard.
The ball flew high. It was a long diagonal pass with a very long flight distance and a beautiful curve in the air.
At the same time, Walcott suddenly started, using his explosive power to pass Azpilicueta and rush to the landing point of the ball.
Azpilicueta's speed of chasing back was very fast. At the moment when Walcott unloaded the ball, he completed the chase.
But Walcott did not unload the ball normally, but gently pushed the ball with the arch of his foot.
The ball immediately rushed to the middle position.
There, Suarez carried Terry and continued to pass the ball horizontally to Rosicky.
Rosicky and Ivanovic were both rushing to the landing point, but Rosicky's movements were more sensitive.
After a sudden stop, he watched Ivanovic pass him, then quickly flicked the ball sideways to create a gap for shooting, and kicked the ball hard with the outside of his right foot.
This was a ground-level slash!
The ball flew close to the ground.
"Rosicky! Shoot!"
George Adams, the commentator on the scene, raised his voice suddenly and stood up excitedly.
The same was true for the coaches on both sides.
Wenger and Mourinho were staring at the goal.
At this time, Cech's experience came into play.
As his body lost its center of gravity, he decisively chose to fall to the ground and stretch his body as much as possible.
In the end, Cech's toes touched the ball, and the ball changed its trajectory, hitting the goal post and bouncing out. .
In a hurry, Chelsea captain Terry kicked the ball directly out of the baseline.
"Cech! He helped Chelsea keep the score. Arsenal's attack almost penetrated Chelsea's defense. At the same time, Arsenal also got a corner kick opportunity. We can see that Arsenal's players have begun to rush into Chelsea's penalty area!"
In Chelsea's penalty area, Arsenal's players rushed in.
Anyone with a little header ability ran in to compete for the header, and so did Lucky.
Lucky was in the middle of the crowd, where the competition was the most intense.
Lucky kept running back and forth, affecting the opponent's defense, and kept his eyes on Cazorla.
Cazorla raised a finger, and the Gunners immediately understood.
Beep!
The whistle sounded, and Cazorla took a corner kick.
Lucky rushed to the back point at the first time to attract the opponent's defense.
But his teammates failed to head the ball, and Terry headed it off.
The ball flew out of the penalty area, and Arteta jumped lightly to control the ball.
Chelsea's crisis has not yet been resolved.
Several Chelsea players have already run out of the penalty area and rushed towards Arteta.
Lekai also ran out and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Arteta didn't have a good pass, so he passed it to Lekai.
Lekai was at the corner of the penalty area on the right. His eyes kept searching for the pass, but there was no good position.
At this time, Lekai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Chelsea goalkeeper Cech's position was to the right, and the left goal was almost in an empty state.
Is it okay?
Lekai licked his lips. This position was the one he was most familiar with.
Lekai gently kicked the ball and stared at the dead corner on the left side of the goal.
He stepped forward with his right foot, stretched his whole body like a bow, swung his left leg, and pulled his calf hard.
Lekai used the inner side of his arch to rub an arc.
When Cech reacted, it was too late!
The flying ball fell rapidly towards the Chelsea goal, almost brushing the crossbar and drilling into the goal.
When the ball touched the net, Cech was still standing there. He turned his head to look at the ball in the goal, with a bitter expression on his mouth.
