Chapter 59 Official Title ‘Monster’
The battle between Arsenal and Manchester City has become the focus of attention across Europe.
Although the final score ended in a draw.
But the two sides contributed eight goals in the 90-minute game. It can be said that there was no peeing in the whole process.
Both Arsenal and Manchester City performed brilliantly enough.
Arsenal came back from behind in the first half to equalize.
At this time, there has been a trend of scoring first, but Manchester City was not willing to lag behind and fought back tenaciously again and again. In the end, the two sides ended in a draw.
The two teams showed extremely high tactical quality in this game, and the performance of the players was also extremely exciting.
It can be said that this game is completely in line with the strong dialogue in the hearts of fans.
There has to be confrontation, there has to be cooperation, there has to be tactics, there are many wonderful details to deal with.
It can be said that both Arsenal and Manchester City contributed extremely exciting performances to this game.
In this game, Lucky, who contributed three goals alone and scored a hat trick, once again became the subject of heated discussion.
In fact, Lucky's performance has become extremely strong since two years ago.
And now Lucai is even stronger to a shocking extent.
A hat-trick in such an important game helped Arsenal take the lead many times.
And not only scoring goals, Lucky's role in the team cannot be ignored.
For this reason, Arsenal's former captain Vieira even posted a sigh of relief on his personal social media.
'God! How could he do so many things by himself! ’
Vieira is definitely a world-class defensive midfielder and has established himself as the Gunners' brilliant captain.
But Vieira's peak period is definitely not comparable to Lucky.
At least, he didn't score as many goals as Lucky.
And their roles in the team are not the same.
Lucky is an Optimus Prime in today's Arsenal.
There is almost no possibility of collapse in the midfield with Lucky in charge.
This is possible due to Lucky’s versatility.
You have to defend, you have to attack, you have to be organized, you have to have the ball.
It can be said that Lucky has taken on too many tasks by himself.
And he did perform brilliantly in these areas.
This is why Vieira calls him a "monster". If you ask yourself, Vieira would never be as versatile as Lucky at his peak.
With this performance, Lucai was elected as the undisputed best player of the game, with a score of 10 points.
For this reason, even the Super Alliance official rarely said, "We are probably witnessing the rise of a real monster. Welcome to the era of being ruled by monsters!" ’
With official endorsement, Lucky’s popularity has further increased.
At the same time, Lucky also received a new official title.
‘Monster’!
At the Kearney training base, an intra-team training match is taking place.
On the sidelines, Saka stared at Lucky in the field without blinking.
The game two stages ago was still fresh in his memory.
Although he was unable to go to the stadium, he still screamed about perversion in front of the TV.
The performance of Lucky and Arsenal exceeded his expectations.
He knows Arsenal are strong!
He also knew that Lucky was very strong.
But in that game, he truly realized how terrifying this power was.
This is completely different from training games.
The tension of the game, the dedication to victory and the wonderful choices in critical situations.
Saka decided that he couldn't do any of them, but these Arsenal main players have done it, and done it well.
This is the huge gap between them.
"It's not on the same level at all!"
Saka muttered.
He called himself a genius and was proud of it, but he suffered too many blows at Arsenal.
It can be said that which player here is not a genius?
The main players are even more geniuses among geniuses.
And if he wants to catch up with the opponent, what kind of effort will it take?
This huge gap made him feel a little dazed for a while.
At this time, Arteta and Mourinho happened to pass by, and both of them saw Saka's expression.
Arteta couldn't help but said: "He has already felt the gap!"
Mourinho: "Only when you feel the gap can you catch up. Don't worry, young players increase their goals very quickly, and their progress is always impressive."
Arteta nodded, recalling Lucky a few years ago, and couldn't help but sigh; "Yes! Growing every year!"
“The next game is West Ham United, let’s get ready!”
Arsenal's next game was supposed to be against Tottenham, but due to the adjustments made by the Football Association and the Super League to the competition, the two Champions League teams could take a break as much as possible, so the games in rounds 12-17 were exchanged.
Arsenal's opponent has also become West Ham United.
This also reduces the pressure on Arsenal to a certain extent.
They have just experienced a big battle, and then they have to play Dortmund in the Champions League, and then they play Tottenham. No one can bear such a dense schedule.
It feels much more comfortable after the adjustment.
The game between Arsenal and Tottenham is placed after the Champions League group stage, which can also give them a sigh of relief.
Arsenal have already qualified for the Champions League.
As long as they don't lose two games in a row, Arsenal can qualify first in the group.
It can even be said that as long as Arsenal wins the next game, they will be able to qualify as the first in the group.
This is also thanks to Dortmund's tenacious battle at home, which made Paris Saint-Germain suffer a loss and got a draw in Westfalen.
The current points of the Champions League Group H are.
1: Arsenal, 4-0-0, 12 points.
2: Paris Saint-Germain, 2-1-1, 7 points.
3: Dortmund, 1-2-1, 5 points.
4: APOEL, 0-1-3, 1 point.
For Dortmund, this is a game that must be won.
Their situation on the standings is not optimistic.
And they were tied by APOEL. It can be said that any loss will lead to their direct exit from the Champions League group stage.
Although it is not a realistic problem to beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, they still have to bite the bullet and try.
After all, Arsenal has just experienced a big battle.
On November 18, in the 12th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged West Ham United away.
As an unstable factor in London, the Hammers sometimes upset London giants.
But West Ham United has been in a slump in the past few seasons.
Although the team is still extremely irritable, traditional British teams are like this.
Over-emphasizing spirit and blood, not only did the game become ugly, but it also gave people a stupid impression.
This is the feeling of West Ham United now.
The traditional British long pass rush down, the tactical system is too old, and it is completely unable to compete with the modern popular high-pressure tactics.
Especially once the bulky British defenders are pressed, the whole person panics.
Arsenal scored two goals in the first half under active frontcourt pressing.
Both goals came from pressing, and the opponent's central defender's error in passing the ball led to Arsenal's counterattack and even shooting opportunities.
Giroud scored two goals in this game.
In the second half, Aubameyang was substituted and Saka came on as a substitute to get a chance.
Mourinho intends to train Saka. He doesn't mind having a wing player with superb dribbling skills in the team.
Today's Mourinho is no longer overly obsessed with the fast pace of counterattacks and loves fast wingers.
Sometimes, Mourinho also wants to try other tactical play and enrich the tactical system.
For this reason, Saka has become a test target for Mourinho.
Of course, this road has just started and still needs a lot of verification.
But Mourinho is still willing to give these young players a chance.
This is Saka's third appearance in the Premier League.
Although he has not yet had the opportunity to start, he is not in a hurry.
After all, Mourinho promised that he would get the opportunity to start in the FA Cup after Christmas.
For this reason, Saka is also training hard, striving to improve his technical ability and increase his cooperation with his teammates.
Saka has abandoned the impetuous feeling when he first joined the team.
The little guy is very down-to-earth in training. If he doesn't understand, he asks. If he doesn't know, he practices. If he still doesn't know, he practices to death.
Moreover, Saka often plays football with Lucky. Many characteristics of Lucky are also imitated and learned by Saka subconsciously.
