Chapter 49: A Powerful Enemy From Catalonia

"Everton's substitutions did not show positive benefits. After Walcott left the field, their offensive on the right wing became much slower."

"Risalisson alone could not support Everton's advancement, while Arsenal was still putting pressure on them, but Arsenal did not seem to have much desire to attack, and they mainly focused on control."

In the 70th minute, Arsenal chose to make a substitution.

Lucky was substituted and Saka came on as a substitute.

When Lucky left the field, the scene was full of fierce applause.

Arsenal fans sent their captain off with the warmest applause.

No matter how picky the fans are, they cannot deny Lucky's performance in this game.

"Kai finally left the field, which is finally a relief for Everton. After all, when Kai was on the field, he put too much pressure on Everton."

"But even if Kai left the field, they still can't underestimate Arsenal!"

As the commentator said, after Lucky left the field, Arsenal's offensive became more intense.

When Lucky was on the field, he would also suppress some of the rhythm to allow the players to get more rest.

But after Lucky left the field, this layer of restriction disappeared, and the Arsenal players who had long been unable to bear it were like a pack of wolves biting Everton's defense like crazy.

It was also based on this crazy attack that Arsenal had more shooting opportunities.

Finally in the 83rd minute, Mane assisted Lukaku to score.

After wasting about four shooting opportunities, Lukaku finally scored.

This goal also completely laid the foundation for the outcome of the game.

At the end of the 90-minute game, Arsenal won the game again.

They have also won six consecutive games in the new season.

If combined with the League Cup and the Champions League, their winning streak has reached an astonishing nine consecutive wins.

This also makes Arsenal's overall morale and fighting spirit more vigorous.

Even the outside media has spared no effort to praise Arsenal.

"Unbeatable Arsenal!"

"The terrifying red and white frenzy is about to sweep across Europe! 》

《Mourinho leads his warriors to conquer the whole of Europe! 》

In addition to the reports on Arsenal, Lucky has also become a topic offline.

In fact, the topic of Lucky has never stopped.

Lucky's performance is outstanding, and Lucky's ability is outstanding. For this reason, many groups and media that praise Lucky have emerged, and of course many active or retired players have also joined in.

However, in addition to these groups, there is also a group that waits for Lucky to make mistakes or step on him when he is in a low state.

But this group is taking the initiative and it is sad!

After all, they have waited for such a long time, but they have not waited for Lucky to be in a low state.

Even from the current situation, Lucky's overall performance is still in an upward period.

You know, Lucky's performance at this time is already terrifying enough, but it has not yet reached its peak, which makes many people guess what form Lucky's peak will take.

Of course, there are also some Arsenal fans who said that Lucky's existence is to lead Arsenal to create an era that belongs to them.

In this era, Arsenal will become synonymous with "victory".

Many Arsenal fans agree with this.

After all, the current Arsenal is really developing in this direction.

If you have watched Arsenal's games, it is hard to imagine that they will lose.

After all, whether it is offense or defense, they have done so well that people can't find any faults.

From the current Premier League summary of the new season's goal/loss ranking, Arsenal ranks first in the goal list, and they rank at the bottom of the goal list.

This proves that Arsenal loses too few goals.

Both lists indirectly prove Arsenal's super ability.

Based on this trend, Arsenal once again ushered in the second round of the Champions League.

They will face PSV Eindhoven at home.

PSV Eindhoven in the 1980s was definitely a strong team in football, whether it was the league or the Champions League.

They even won the first Champions League trophy in team history in 1988.

However, in the past few decades, PSV Eindhoven has gradually declined, and now it is unable to compete with the top European teams.

In this second round of the Champions League.

Arsenal did not even send Luka to play, Mourinho put him on the bench.

This is also the first time in many years that Luka has not started in the Champions League.

As Luka's substitute, Odegaard got the chance to start in the Champions League.

Even so, Arsenal still showed a strong suppression force.

Perhaps it was due to some influence from Luka, Odegaard, who did not like to retreat to defend, became particularly active in retreating.

This also made PSV Eindhoven's offense difficult to break through.

In the counterattack, Arsenal used Giroud's retreat as a fulcrum to strengthen the breakthrough ability of the two wingers.

Finally, in the 34th minute, Aubameyang shot and scored.

Scoring again in the first half, this almost cut off Luka's chance to play.

Luka had no objection to this.

In the second half, Arsenal made some personnel adjustments.

Aubameyang went off the field and Saka came on.

Arsenal's young twin stars gathered for the first time in the Champions League.

The two men burst out with amazing sparks together, frequently launching threats on the wing. In the end, Odegaard relied on a wonderful pass to pass Saka in seconds to expand the score.

The connection between the Arsenal twin stars made Arsenal fans even more excited.

As a football fan, everyone likes to have a successor.

Arsenal fans also have high hopes for the performance of Odegaard and Saka.

In the end, with the goals of Saka and Aubameyang, Arsenal won the second round of the Champions League.

Easily killed PSV.

Eindhoven was also extremely frustrated. After all, they did not perform well in the 90 minutes, and even Lucky did not force the game.

Without Lucky, Arsenal's strength is not the best.

And they couldn't even defeat Arsenal like this. Obviously this was a big blow to them.

PSV left London in disgrace, but they did not give up and planned to adjust and perform well at home.

After this game, Arsenal started the cycle of the English League Cup and the league again.

From rounds 7-9, Arsenal achieved two wins and one draw.

In the seventh round, Arsenal beat Watford 2-0.

In the eighth round, Fulham 0-0 Arsenal.

In the ninth round, Arsenal beat Leicester City 4-1.

In these three games, in the eighth round, Arsenal's golden status of victory was broken.

Fulham used 90 minutes of tough defense to tell everyone that they could also draw with Arsenal at home.

Of course, they directly ignored the foul tactics and bus placement throughout the game.

But it was also a tactical victory.

After all, so many Premier League teams have not won a victory from Arsenal. For this reason, Fulham's strong tactic of maintaining a tie is a good idea for those relegation teams.

For Arsenal, this draw is not all bad.

Since Arsenal's victory, Mourinho can feel that the Gunners are a little too obsessed with scoring goals.

Of course, this is a good thing. After all, having the ambition to score goals means that they themselves are eager to win.

But when this desire becomes paranoid, it's not a good thing.

Arsenal want to maintain a winning mentality and everyone understands that.

Especially in the process of continuous winning, this mentality will become more and more fueled, and eventually the mentality may collapse due to a loss.

For this reason, the draw is not all bad for Mourinho.

At least, based on this draw, Arsenal can face the game with a more relaxed mentality.

Especially before the next important game, Arsenal needs this kind of mentality adjustment.

The third round of the 2018/2019 Champions League group stage, Barcelona VS Arsenal!

For three consecutive seasons, Arsenal and Barcelona have met.

Two of those times, both teams had wins and losses.

In the 2016/2017 season, Barcelona eliminated Arsenal in the Champions League.

In the 2017/2018 season, Arsenal completed their revenge against Barcelona and eliminated the opponent from the competition.

After these two games, there is a subtle connection between Arsenal and Barcelona.

Even Arsenal and Barcelona fans attach great importance to this game.

In four days, the game will start.
