Chapter 46 Jumping So High
After returning to his position, Gabby's expression became serious.
The atmosphere at the scene made it impossible for him to relax, not to mention that Arsenal is the defending champion of the Champions League. Even if their current state is worse, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Who knows whether these guys will break out again.
Anyway, facing Arsenal, everyone needs to pay 120% attention.
"Cheer up, please pay attention to your position at all times, and don't give the other party any chance."
After shouting, Gabi looked towards the front court and said: "Griezmann! I only ask one thing from you, score a goal!"
Griezmann put his index and middle fingers together, extended them outward from his temples, made what he thought was a cool move, and said: "Copy that!"
Since Costa left Atletico Madrid, Simeone has begun to strongly support the French forward. This guy's performance has not disappointed Simeone and Atletico Madrid, and has become the core of Atletico Madrid's offense.
Atletico Madrid shines!
From Torres, Costa to Griezmann.
These guys all have the ability to turn the tide of a game and have an extremely strong ability to score goals.
This is also the reason why Atletico Madrid can win while defending.
Of course, Arsenal's defense cannot be underestimated.
After all, Arsenal was the strongest defensive team in Europe last season. Although their gorgeous striker obscured this light, many people believe that the reason why Arsenal can play such football depends heavily on For a stable back line.
Especially the captain of Arsenal!
Lucky!
Gabby looked at Lucky, and he also had some admiration for this young captain who was many years younger than him.
After all, not every captain can become the Champions League captain!
Gabi has been captain of Atletico Madrid for many years, but they still failed to win the Champions League.
So from a certain perspective, he was a little jealous of Lucky.
But he doesn't think it's luck that Lucky and Arsenal won the Champions League. After all, the championship is not easily explained by luck.
On the other side, for Arsenal, Lucky was also loudly boosting morale.
This game is crucial.
As the highlight of Group C, it largely determines the number one spot in the group.
Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are both strong teams in the Champions League, and the confrontation between the two teams will never be easy.
The referee Lesto from Greece left the center circle and Atletico Madrid took the lead.
The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:
Arsenal 433:
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders: Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal.
Midfielder: Kante, Wilshere, Lucky.
Forwards: Aubameyang, Suarez, Sanchez.
Atletico Madrid 442:
Goalkeeper: Oblak.
Defenders: Juanfran, Liu Kairui, Godin, Felipe.
Midfielder: Oliver Torres, Gabi, Thiago, Correa.
Forwards: Griezmann, Martinez.
"The players on both sides are ready and the game can start at any time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistle sounded.
Martinez immediately passed the ball back, and the cheers from the entire stadium became louder.
Wow!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Arsenal's players rushed out immediately.
"keep distance!"
Lucky ran a few steps forward and loudly reminded his teammates.
Under Lucky's reminder, Arsenal's players kept the distance between themselves and their teammates and pressed towards Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid is not a team that relies on possession of the ball to pass and control.
Therefore, when they don't care whether they lose the ball or not, they will counterattack immediately and do everything possible to disrupt the rhythm of the game.
As soon as Sanchez got the ball, he was blocked by multiple opponents and couldn't hold the ball.
Just when Sanchez was barely protecting the ball, shouts came from behind.
"return!"
Without thinking, Sanchez immediately passed the ball back.
Lucky received the ball behind him and moved sideways to the right.
At the same time, he looked past the Atletico Madrid players to Aubameyang.
At this time, Atletico Madrid has two actions.
First, shrink into Aubameyang's restricted circle.
Second, put pressure on Lucky.
But Lucky would not give them such a chance. When the opponent was about to get close to him, he dunked his foot, suddenly turned around, regained the distance, and passed the ball to Sanchez again.
With each pass, Sanchez's dilemma was alleviated.
"Kay's control of the situation has become more and more accurate. He stepped forward to respond, moved in sheep's clothing, and re-entered the offensive line in the right corridor. As long as Kay is still on the field, Arsenal can guarantee sufficient possession of the ball!"
Andy Gray praised.
After the start of this season, Lucky's playing style has changed a lot.
He is no longer the functional midfielder he used to be. Under Patrice's training, Lucky has gradually developed into an all-around player.
Attack, defense, transfer scheduling, organization, etc., these are all covered by Lucky.
Many times you can even see Lucai passing the ball into the half court to join the attack.
This is something Lucky would never do in the past.
Now, Lucky has become the backbone of the Gunners' offense and defense.
"Don't be anxious! Take your time step by step!"
Lucky still responded from behind, and at the same time reminded Sanchez who wanted to move forward.
After hearing Lucky's words, the latter no longer took the risk of trying to break in, but passed the ball across to Suarez.
Just as Suarez was about to step forward to catch the ball, a person suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Like a wild boar, it suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked the ball out with a sliding shovel.
"Nice!"
A nice interception.
Liu Kairui clenched his fist and shouted.
But before he finished shouting, he saw his teammate Thiago being pushed aside by Lucai. The ball was controlled by Lucai and headed towards the penalty area.
Liu Kairui was so frightened that he immediately turned around and rushed towards the penalty area with both hands and feet, looking extremely embarrassed.
Lucky's sudden frontcourt interception disrupted Atletico Madrid's rhythm, and near the penalty area line, Lucky directly transferred the ball to the left.
Aubameyang took off and headed the ball in the air to the center.
Suarez grabs the point!
But Godin reacted faster, and with the numerical advantage, he pushed the ball over the baseline.
Lucky shook his head.
Of course, he didn't feel discouraged. After all, this was just a tentative attack.
But Liu Kairui was shocked.
He wasn't relieved until Arsenal ended their attack.
"Scare someone to death!"
Liu Kairui looked at Lucky. He thought he knew this national team teammate very well, but Lucky's growth in the past two seasons still exceeded his expectations.
"Don't make risky steals, cooperate more with your teammates!"
Gabby patted Liu Kairui on the shoulder and said.
Both captain Gabi and head coach Simeone are extremely optimistic about this new generation of defensive cornerstone.
Liu Kairui also nodded and said: "I understand, captain!"
Corner kick for Arsenal.
Wilshere prepares for a free throw.
He saw Lucky standing in the crowd.
Lucky has become Atletico Madrid's main defensive target. After all, Lucky's aerial dominance is very scary.
For this reason, Liu Kairui and Thiago retreated to defend Lucai.
Lucky was sandwiched between the two, but he didn't stop at all, constantly moving back and forth, left and right.
Liu Kairui stared at Lucai closely. Suddenly, he saw Lucai twist his feet, sway and run forward.
"Don't even think about running away!"
Liu Kairui yelled and strode to follow.
But Lucky suddenly made an emergency stop.
At this time, Wilshere just kicked the ball out.
Liu Kairui failed to brake in time and bumped into Lucky.
Lucky's body was shaken by the impact, but he stabilized his body with his strong core.
Finally, he squatted deeply with both feet and suddenly came to a dry land to pull onions.
Lucky's timing to take off was earlier than everyone else's, but he was just ups and downs. Their take-off height was not as high as his own, and their ability to stay in the air was not as good as his own.
Many people were disrupted by Lucky's sudden jump.
"Jumping so early?"
Liu Kairui also looked shocked.
But he soon discovered that Lucky was waving his hands in the air, and his whole body seemed to be hovering.
Damn it!
!
Liu Kairui spat out a sentence subconsciously.
At this time, Lucai stared at the ball and slammed the ball into the goal.
"Kay!
Header!
"
boom!
The ball did not enter the goal, but was pushed out by Godin with his chest.
Thiago followed closely and knocked the ball out of the field with his big foot.
