Chapter 46 Penalty Kick
"Dortmund is under pressure a bit!"
Zhan Jun watched the game attentively. He could see that every attack of Arsenal was extremely fast and methodical.
In the process of fast passing and cutting, there would not be any mistakes.
The footwork of each Arsenal frontcourt player is very superb. Even Lekai would pass the ball to each player with one touch.
And under Lekai's style of play that is not greedy for the ball at all and focuses on simplicity, it increases the space for other teammates to play, which also makes everyone play very comfortably and refreshingly.
"Lekai is really not greedy for a day!"
Midfielders always have some situations of showing off their footwork, and they have to pass the ball far away, and sometimes even make some own goals for this.
But Lekai has no problem in this regard.
If you can pass close, you will never make a long pass.
If you can pass the ball with one foot, you will not complete the show of technology.
Of course, this also requires doubts about whether Lekai meets the premise of getting rid of technology, but it must be said that under this kind of midfield deployment, the space for other Arsenal players to play has been greatly increased.
For example, now, Sanchez, Cazorla, and Di Maria are playing so well!
Although Lekai made a forward run, he did not compress their running space at all, and only took on the task of passing the ball.
It sounds good to be called a passing hub.
It sounds bad to be called a passer!
But it is this kind of play that brings the abilities of others to the extreme.
Di Maria and Sanchez are dribbling at high speed, and Cazorla will occasionally perform dribbling shows.
And Suarez cooperates with his teammates in the middle to put pressure on the opponent.
Arsenal's integrity makes Dortmund feel overwhelmed.
"Stronger! Faster!"
Klopp stood on the sidelines, and he couldn't sit still.
The game had only started for more than 10 minutes, and he had already seen Dortmund's fatigue.
Despite losing several main players, Klopp felt that there was still a chance to win the game, but now he had to make some changes.
This Arsenal team is not at the same level as last season!
Whether in terms of lineup, technical tactics or personal ability.
Klopp set his sights on Lucky. Why is this guy not greedy at all?
He hoped that Lucky could play more greedily, so as to slow down the pace of Arsenal's attack.
But Lucky had no such idea at all. He was a ruthless passing machine.
Every time the ball passed Lucky's feet, Arsenal's rhythm almost climbed up. With the rising rhythm, Arsenal's passing and cutting style is dazzling.
Under great pressure, Dortmund's defense line also became chaotic.
"Right! No! Left!"
"Go up! Press up!"
"Come back! Come back!"
"Too slow!!"
"Watch Suarez!"
"Sanchez is coming!"
Subotic and other Dortmund defenders are constantly shouting and communicating, and a lot of sweat has appeared on their faces. From the moment the game started, Arsenal put huge pressure on them.
Dortmund's defense is still very strong, but no matter how strong the defense is, it will be on the verge of collapse in the face of such high-frequency and high-pressure offense.
Last season, Arsenal mainly played defensive counterattacks, and even active offenses would slow down the rhythm.
They use more physical confrontation to create opportunities.
But now Arsenal is completely different.
They are like threading a needle, racing through the crowd at a high speed, and every pass is fast and accurate. Dortmund can't keep up with Arsenal's passing speed.
"Back midfielder! Retreat!!!"
Papastathopoulos yelled.
If the defensive midfielder didn't retreat, they would be kicked into a hornet's nest.
Fortunately, Dortmund's defensive midfielders also noticed this scene, so they retreated decisively to support.
In this case, Arsenal's rhythm was slightly slowed down.
Di Maria passed the ball to Cazorla, and Cazorla continued to pass it back to Lukay.
Seeing this, Lukay actually knocked the ball sideways and then dribbled it to the back.
Seeing Lukay's back to them, Dortmund's defenders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as Arsenal persists for a while, they will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Go! Let's go up!"
Seeing Lukay retreat, Sven and Bender also immediately called their teammates to come forward.
But at this moment, Lukay suddenly turned around and swung his feet at a small angle. The action was very concealed and the speed was very fast.
The ball was rubbed out in an arc and flew behind Durm.
fxxk! ! !
Durm cursed, why is it me again!
Since last season, Lucky seems to like to kick behind himself.
Is Durm slow to turn?
He is definitely not slow!
Durm ran towards the ball while cursing.
But Sanchez, who overtook from the outside, was faster.
Sanchez rushed into the penalty area before Durm, and then rushed over.
In a hurry, Durm pulled Sanchez's jersey.
The jersey was pulled very long, which was obvious.
Sanchez had already entered the penalty area, and his whole body suddenly leaned back in the air and fell to the ground with a snap.
Durm's face turned pale instantly!
The Dortmund players were also shocked.
It's bad!
"Sir! He fell outside the penalty area!"
"This is not a foul!"
"You have to make a fair judgment, you have to know that this is Westfalen!"
The Dortmund players put pressure on the referee, but the Arsenal players immediately surrounded him.
Both sides fiercely attacked the referee.
Finally, the referee dismissed everyone, and after communicating with the headset, he looked at Durm with hope on his face and pointed his finger at the penalty area.
Beep! ! ! !
It's over!
Klopp covered his face with his hands. This penalty was too bad.
"Kai is retreating. After a period of suppression, Arsenal sees Dortmund's back-up and is ready to reorganize the attack! Kai will turn around!! Change the rhythm once!! Kai passes the ball behind Durm, Sanchez stops and rushes into the penalty area!! Sanchez will pull and foul!! How will the referee decide? Is this a penalty?"
"The Dortmund players are trying their best to explain to the referee. The referee dismisses everyone and his decision is"
Paul Mossen looked at the referee. When he saw the other side pointing to the penalty spot, he shouted excitedly: "Penalty! Penalty! Penalty! Sanchez created a penalty for Arsenal!"
"Just 19 minutes into the game, Arsenal got a valuable penalty! This is a huge blow to Dortmund!"
"We can see Kai walking towards Sanchez. After negotiation, Kai will take the penalty!"
"This choice is right! Kai is in the present moment. In the front position, his penalty hit rate is 100%! He has never missed a penalty, which will also put great psychological pressure on Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
Lekai walked towards the penalty area with the ball in his arms, and all the way there were huge boos and noisy sounds from Dortmund fans.
Although he didn't know what they were saying, it was probably not a good thing. Fortunately, Lekai didn't understand, so he didn't have any emotional problems.
Under the attention of the crowd, Lekai came to the penalty spot, put the ball down gently, and then raised his head slightly.
He didn't look at Weidenfeller at all, nor did he give the other party a chance to communicate.
After the referee left the penalty area, Lekai began to retreat and prepare for a run-up.
"Lekai is measuring the run-up distance. At the current position, Lekai's penalty rate is 100%. In the penalty kick, Lekai's mentality can always remain extremely calm. He has a big heart. Now can Lekai bring goals to Arsenal? Can he score a penalty? "
Zhan Jun said, he began to get nervous.
It was hard for him to imagine how much pressure Lekai would feel when taking a penalty kick under the spotlight.
Beep!!
The whistle sounded, and Lekai immediately took a run-up.
"Lekai take a run-up!"
Zhan Jun also shouted loudly.
Lekai didn't run fast, but when he came to the ball, he suddenly stopped. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller's body tilted to the left, and Lekai took a step and slightly turned sideways, and went directly to the lower right corner.
The ball went straight into the goal.
"Change the rhythm! The ball went in! Lekai shot into the lower right corner, and he perfectly deceived Dortmund's goalkeeper! "
"In the 19th minute of the first half, Arsenal led 1:0! ”
After scoring the goal, Lekai raised his hands high.
He was greeted by the angry boos of Dortmund fans.
But Lekai didn't care about it, instead he smiled happily.
