Chapter 11: Lukaku

When Hazard appeared on the field, the Chelsea fans at the scene were so excited.

As the current Chelsea star and also a real thigh, Chelsea fans love and rely on Hazard.

For this reason, when Hazard was rumored to transfer to Real Madrid, the fans' reaction was also extremely broken and angry.

Some very bad things happened between them.

But when they saw Hazard appear on the field again wearing Chelsea jersey, they were still excited and excited.

Hazard!

!

! ——

Hazard!

!

! ——

Hazard!

!

! ——

The Chelsea fans at the scene were so excited.

They shouted Hazard's name over and over again, and they could also see their love for Hazard.

And they believed that once Hazard appeared on the field, the situation would inevitably change. Hazard was Chelsea's most threatening arrow player.

Arsenal fans don't like Hazard very much.

In other words, they hate all players who may pose a threat to Arsenal, and Hazard is on this list.

To this end, they threatened Hazard with boos, but the opponent would not be scared.

After Hazard came to the stadium, he raised his hands and kept booing, wanting to build momentum for Chelsea and let the fans cheer more loudly to give them motivation.

For this reason, Chelsea fans also cooperated very well. In the waves of cheers, the mental outlook of Chelsea players also changed a little.

"This guy is a big threat in the frontcourt!"

Lucky took the initiative to say.

In response, Kante nodded: "In the second half, I will stay in the backcourt more to defend."

Lucky trusted Kante, so he nodded and said; "We will continue to score goals."

Lucky still firmly believed that Arsenal's overall strength and state were higher than Chelsea, and even Hazard could not make up for this gap.

In the second half, the players of both sides changed sides.

Both sides still pulled out their formations.

"The second half of the Community Shield will start soon. I can guarantee that this is the most intense Community Shield in recent years. Both sides are very interested in this championship. At the same time, we can also expect Hazard's arrival to bring different changes to Chelsea!"

"But for Hazard, how is his condition? He can break through Arsenal's defense, which is still a problem."

"And Arsenal is still in a leading stage. We understand that Sarri wants to use the Community Shield to compete for a jackpot for his appointment, but the problem is that the opponent is Arsenal!"

Bang!

!

Less than two minutes after the game started, Hazard almost penetrated Arsenal's goal with a powerful shot.

Goalkeeper Martinez flew to save and dragged the ball out with one hand.

After landing, Martinez roared in the direction of Hazard.

Martinez had a boring first half. Chelsea's offense was too weak, leaving him, the goalkeeper, with no room to play.

Hazard's first shot brought a threat, and also provided Martinez with a space to play.

Martinez is a goalkeeper who is very good at provoking the opponent, but he was stopped by Hummels when he was about to continue to taunt Hazard.

"Don't provoke him, let him continue to play like this, we will block his kicking opportunity!"

Hummels is an experienced central defender and a player trusted by Martinez, so the latter immediately shut up.

Chelsea's first corner kick.

"Hazard's appearance gave Chelsea a chance to shoot after the start of the second half, and also got a corner kick, Chelsea's offensive threat opened up." Andy Gray praised Hazard's performance.

Even without Andy Gray's praise, the fans also agreed with Hazard's performance.

After all, this guy is really a strong threat.

Lucky retreated to the top of the penalty area, but did not participate in the header.

Instead, Giroud took the initiative to take the header.

When Chelsea took a corner kick, in the chaos, Giroud flew up and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Giroud's header had a clear purpose this time, which was to pass it to Luka.

He had obviously observed Luka's position in advance.

Luka received the ball and turned around. At this time, Arsenal had already switched from defense to offense.

All the players turned around at the first time and ran wildly.

Giroud did the same.

He stepped forward with a pair of long legs, and his head moved forward little by little, sprinting madly.

In contrast, Luka's speed was not fast. On the one hand, he was waiting for his teammates to advance, and on the other hand, he was stabilizing the rhythm of the counterattack.

When Giroud ran forward to the front of the opponent's defender, he raised his head and turned sideways to ask for the ball.

Luka also made quick adjustments, and a curved ball went directly around Rudiger and came in front of Giroud.

Giroud stepped up again, dribbled the ball, and went directly over Rudiger.

"Goalkeeper!

!"

Rudiger shouted in a hurry.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa had taken the initiative to attack, and the whole person was horizontal in front of Giroud.

Giroud immediately picked up the ball and wanted to complete a lob shot.

But the height of the lob shot was not enough and the angle was not correct.

Kepa reached out and clenched his fist to knock the ball out.

And the full-back Azpilicueta, who caught up later, kicked the ball directly out of the sideline.

"Giroud!

!"

Andy Gray wailed.

He had forgotten how many times Giroud had wasted an opportunity.

Giroud himself was kneeling on the lawn, his eyes full of disbelief.

Is his condition really that bad?

Even Lekai felt something was wrong at this time.

This ball really shouldn't have been lost!

Giroud stood up after a while. He didn't dare look in the direction of the coaching bench, because there, Mourinho had already begun to stare at him.

He could tolerate the players' mistakes, but he couldn't tolerate them doing the same thing every time.

"Lukaku!"

Mourinho turned and shouted.

Lukaku was ecstatic and stood up from the bench. He looked at Mourinho expectantly.

"Go warm up."

Lukaku took off his substitute vest in no time and ran out of the coaching bench happily to warm up.

Giroud also saw this scene on the court.

The pressure in his heart increased a little.

At the same time, his mind, which was overwhelmed by the goal, became calm.

"That ball should have been passed just now!"

Giroud was a little annoyed.

Of course, he could choose to shoot, and it would not matter if he scored.

But the key is that Aubameyang was in a better position at the time, and passing the ball was 100% a goal.

But Giroud wanted to score so much that he subconsciously ignored these.

Now that he was scared by Mourinho, he calmed down immediately.

This season, Giroud definitely doesn't want to miss it, and he doesn't even want to be a substitute in any game.

This season, Arsenal must do something big.

This is something that all Arsenal players know well.

The Champions League title is a goal for all players, and Giroud has a deep obsession with this.

He doesn't want to be replaced, so he needs to calm down.

Bellerin completed a hand throw, and Aubameyang passed the ball back to Bellerin, who directly kicked the ball into the penalty area.

Giroud had the upper hand in the header with David Luiz, and after controlling the ball, he immediately took a shooting posture.

"Block!"

Rudiger slid directly to block.

But at this moment, Giroud's right foot passed over the ball, and he used his knee joint to force the ball with his heel.

A very exquisite pass.

The ball came to the back point.

Mane rushed over and shot the ball.

This pass came too suddenly, and the Chelsea players didn't react, and the ball had already entered the goal.

In the 56th minute, Arsenal scored another goal.

"Sir!"

At this time, Lukaku just came to Mourinho's side and looked at him eagerly.

Mourinho turned his head and looked at Lukaku. Lukaku felt that this look was a bit weird, and then Mourinho patted his shoulder and said softly: "Wait!"

Lukaku's body stiffened suddenly, and he looked at the court with some regret.

At the same time, he returned to the bench, picked up the vest, put it on, and sat down with a sullen face.

In the stadium, the Arsenal players began to celebrate again.

After leading by two goals, they had more margin for error.

After scoring, Mane excitedly made a sliding tackle on the field, and was immediately greeted with fierce cheers.

While Giroud was running towards Mane, he was also paying attention to the coaching bench.

When he saw Lukaku return to the bench and put on a vest, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Lukaku looked at Giroud strangely, and then turned his head to look at Lukaku, who was hanging his head on the bench and was very unhappy.

So, Lukaku was used to beat Giroud?

The ultimate tool man?
