Chapter 55: On the Verge of Breaking Out

The popularity of the North London Derby has cooled down somewhat in recent years, perhaps because of Arsenal's decline. Britain's most historic derby has been criticized for having no skills at all.

But in recent times, this kind of talk has gradually begun to disappear. The reason is simple. Arsenal are rapidly returning to their peak level.

How different is the Arsenal of today from the Arsenal of Henry's era?

No one can give specific parameters on this, but what is certain is that these are two completely different teams!

Even though they are all gunmen!

But they are all different in terms of skills, tactics, and mental outlook.

Arsenal during Henry's era inherited Bergkamp's legacy and continued to develop and transform the pass-and-control style on the established basis, making it more enjoyable to watch.

But now this Arsenal is born out of countless doubts and ridicules.

Therefore, compared to the Arsenal led by Henry, the Arsenal led by Lucky is more utilitarian and contains ambitions.

They have experienced low points and tasted pain, so they are motivated to change everything.

The birth of this Arsenal shows that this is a team born to conquer!

"go ahead!!!!!--"

"Gunner!!!!!!——"

A huge shout suddenly appeared, sweeping the entire arena.

One by one, the Gunners looked straight ahead, their goal was to contribute to this archrival's stadium.

They want three points at White Hart Lane!

Suarez came to the center circle and prepared to kick off.

The cheers at the scene gradually subsided, and the North London Derby was about to begin.

Beep! !

As the sharp whistle sounded, Suarez decisively kicked the ball.

At the same time, the major commentary stations are also making opening remarks.

"This is LeTV Sports. What we are playing for you is the famous North London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the 6th round of the 2014/2015 Premier League season!"

"Everyone from the fans to the players are eagerly hoping that the home team can win this game. Let us wait and see who will win this game!"

Paul Merson from the Sky Sports commentary desk also loudly shouted in his most passionate voice: "Guys! The hot moment has arrived. Tottenham face Arsenal at home, the famous North London Derby! The two teams will bring their historical honors with them. Fight this crucial battle!”

For Tottenham fans, they can't see Arsenal doing well. They want to show that they are better than Arsenal through a victory!

For Arsenal fans, they have to prove once again that Tottenham are not worthy of being their mortal enemy!

In this atmosphere, the game was already full of excitement.

First, Sanchez attempted an offensive breakthrough from the wing. Lamela actually ran back from the frontcourt and tackled Sanchez to the ground with a scissor kick from the side.

Looking at Sanchez rolling on the ground, Lamela showed a relieved sneer.

But his sneer didn't last long before his whole body was knocked away and flew into the air.

Lucky came from the backcourt and directly pushed Lamela away.

After that, players from both sides began to run over to jack up the cow, making the scene particularly chaotic.

"There was a fierce conflict between the two sides at the beginning of the game. Lamela collided with Sanchez and fouled, while Lucky stood up for his teammates."

Zhan Jun watched the game intently.

He thought that the game would be fierce, but he never thought that as soon as the game started, both sides would already start retaliating.

The farce was quickly suppressed and Lamela paid the price with a yellow card.

As for Arsenal players, Lucky was also given a verbal warning.

Seeing this scene, Wilshere on the bench said unhappily: "Everyone is so cowardly, let's go with Kai!"

As a player who has experienced the Vieira era, Wilshere is one of the few people in Arsenal who has a fighting spirit.

He had witnessed the battle between Arsenal and Manchester United, and this fighting spirit had already penetrated into his bones.

In today's Arsenal, except for Lucky, almost no one maintains this spirit.

Ramsey counts as one, but this guy is sitting on the bench like himself.

Wilshere shook his head.

"What do I want to do with this? I'm leaving anyway!"

Thinking of this, his expression darkened again.

The commotion in the arena subsided and the game got back on track.

The referee gave a yellow card at the beginning. This deterrent method is still very effective. At least for a period of time in the future, both sides will pay attention to their actions.

Otherwise, depending on the referee's penalty scale, a red card is not impossible.

"Watch your movements, everyone!"

Lucky kept reminding his teammates during the gap period of passing the ball that he did not want his teammates to be sent off for red cards due to reasons above.

The same goes for Tottenham.

In this case, the game has also entered normalization.

Only Lamela looked unhappy.

"Damn Arsenal, damn it"

Watching Lucky pass by, Lamela's voice became much quieter, and finally almost disappeared.

Lamela wanted to give Arsenal a morale blow by committing a foul.

In the end, not only did he not succeed, he was knocked over by Lucai and received a yellow card. It could be said that he shot himself in the foot.

However, Lamela did not give up.

He watched Luka move forward and quietly ran to the left. Seeing that there was no one around and Luka was far away from him, Lamela raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Eriksson also saw this scene and decisively sent a long pass.

"Lamela wants the ball, his position is very good, and Luka is a little too aggressive!"

Paul Merson said nervously.

And Tottenham's live commentator Lawrence said excitedly: "Lamela! His position is very good, is there any chance?"

Facing the long pass, Lamela easily unloaded it and turned around at the same time. With one step, he immediately broke through the middle position between Sagna and Mustafi.

After Sagna and Mustafi exchanged glances, the two retreated almost at the same time, shrinking the defense line, and did not seem to press forward.

This scene also made Lamela stunned for a moment, and he felt familiar at the same time.

Why is it familiar?

Because last season, Arsenal defended him in this way, with the defense line shrinking and Luka pressing.

But the problem now is that Lucky is in the front court. Unless this guy is as fast as Superman, it will be too late.

But Lamela still looked behind him to the left for safety.

‘Look! No one! ’

Lamela just turned his head and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. This guy seemed to appear out of thin air, which scared Lamela.

At the same time, this guy poked the ball out very skillfully, and slowed down to go around from behind Lamela and catch up with the ball.

Lamela was intercepted!

“Kante!! The young man did a great job! Clean steal, the French boy came from the side and back like a ghost and intercepted the ball. This is not the first time we have seen him perform like this!”

Zhan Jun shouted loudly.

After Kante got the ball, he immediately passed it to Lucky who was retreating.

Lucky picked up the ball, gave Kante a thumbs up, and turned to rush to the opponent’s half.

At the same time, other Arsenal players also rushed to the opponent's half.

Arsenal's attack began!

When Lekai got the ball, he passed it directly to Cazorla. Cazorla quickly moved the ball to the left, passed Ryan Mason, and passed the ball to Lekai who was advancing.

Lekai stopped the ball with his left foot, looked up, and only one second later, he passed the ball to Sanchez again.

Norton stepped forward to stop Sanchez, but Sanchez had no intention of passing, and passed the ball to Suarez with a simple kick.

Suarez touched the ball and passed it to Lekai again.

Lekai pretended to shoot at the ball, and when the opponent's central defender came forward to press, his raised right foot suddenly fell gently, and he used his toes to pick the ball to the empty space on the right.

And there, Di Maria ran over quickly and volleyed the falling ball.

The shot was powerful, but the angle was too right.

Tottenham goalkeeper Lori bent his waist slightly, trying to hold the ball in his arms, but the ball was too powerful and slipped out of his hands.

Fortunately, the ball did not fly far, and Lori immediately stepped forward and pressed the ball tightly under his body.

And Arsenal's attack ended here.

Although they failed to score, the dazzling offensive advancement and shooting made Tottenham players sweat.

Even the Tottenham fans in the stadium were temporarily speechless.
