Chapter 26: Wonderful Confrontation

"Verati passed the ball to Mbappe, Mbappe wanted to turn around Kai!! So fast and close!!"

"Mbappe wanted to try to break through, Kai suddenly stretched out his foot to steal the ball, and failed to kick the ball to his teammates, and the ball was still in the hands of Paris Saint-Germain!"

After the game started, Paris' three attempts to attack were resolved by Arsenal.

They defended the wing very tightly.

For Paris, the good news is that they did not lose the ball, but the bad news is that Arsenal's defense is a bit difficult to overcome.

"The ball was passed to Mbappe again. This time Mbappe retreated to receive the ball and left himself enough space to accelerate. Mbappe started to dribble the ball on the wing, and Kai tackled!!"

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The scene suddenly rang with violent cheers.

"Precise tackle! Kai shoveled the ball directly out of the sideline, and Mbappe failed to break through again!"

The on-site commentator George Adams shouted very hard.

His expression was extremely excited.

That's right!

This is Kai's ability.

There is a huge gap between Lekai and other defensive midfielders in the Premier League.

Mbappe's dribbling defeated Manchester City and Liverpool, but it doesn't mean he can defeat Arsenal.

In Arsenal's midfield, there is a super defensive midfielder!

Lekai immediately got up from the ground and directed his teammates to defend the hand-throwing ball.

Mbappe was also annoyed, and failed to dribble the ball twice in a row.

Generally speaking, according to his speed, it is difficult for someone to steal this kind of dribbling ball. Even if they see the opportunity, the opponent will hesitate whether to put the tackle.

This hesitation time is enough for Mbappe to throw the opponent away.

But Lekai has no such concerns at all. His tackling is very clean and his footing is also very accurate.

This made Mbappe raise his hand to indicate that the foul was waived.

Paris Saint-Germain's hand-throwing ball.

The full-back came forward to throw the ball. He wanted to throw the ball forward. Even though Paris Saint-Germain's position was not good, he still wanted to exert more pressure.

At the same time, he also trusted his teammates to control the ball.

To this end, he threw the ball to Verratti with all his strength.

Verratti is an Italian player. Verratti from the Apennines has the smallest body in football. As a defensive midfielder, his height of 65cm is his weakness, but he is extremely flexible.

Verratti stopped the ball and was about to look up to observe, when Kante rushed over directly.

Kante's impact was not to knock the opponent over, but to force the opponent to turn around and protect the ball.

Verratti did the same, but the next second, Wilshere inserted horizontally and easily took the ball away.

An extremely wonderful cooperation and steal!

After Wilshere stole the ball, the defenders of Paris Saint-Germain immediately retreated rapidly.

Wilshere did not pass the ball directly, but brought the ball to the center circle, shortened the distance with his teammates, and ensured the stability of the pass before passing the ball to Aubameyang.

After all, not everyone has the same accurate long pass skills as Lekai.

Although Wilshere can make long passes, he cannot guarantee that he can kick behind the opponent.

Although this style of play slowed down the pace, it was steady.

Aubameyang received the ball and accelerated. This time, he also dribbled past the opponent, not being reasonable at all, and just used his speed to force the ball.

After pulling away, he passed the ball directly.

"Aubameyang passed the ball to the back post!! Mane!! Ah~!!! Kicked it away!!"

"Mane failed to seize the opportunity to shoot this time!"

Facing Aubameyang's pass, Mane failed to seize the opportunity and kicked the ball to the stands.

In response, Mane also held his head, his face full of regret, he could have scored a goal.

But he was not overly frustrated, which was a good development.

The Arsenal players also applauded, indicating that this was a very good attack, and also comforted Mane.

At this time, you can't put pressure, otherwise you will be afraid to shoot.

"In the counterattack just now, Lukaku and Silva collided during the retreat process, resulting in the failure to catch up in the first time. If Lukaku could get in place, then this ball would be really dangerous!"

"But from the running position just now, Silva's running position is very cunning. He deliberately went towards Lukaku to prevent the opponent from getting in a straight line. This indirectly saved the goal of Paris Saint-Germain!"

The French commentator also said solemnly: "Paris still has to be careful of Arsenal's counterattacks and counterattacks in the midfield. Once Arsenal is given the opportunity to counterattack, they will handle every counterattack very well and are full of threats! Of course, Paris does not have to be too afraid, Paris's attack is still effective."

Paris's attack is indeed effective, but it is more about Neymar's wing.

As for Mbappe, it seems that he can't play well.

Mbappe's kick is awkward.

Unlike other midfielders, Lekay does not observe him more before kicking, but quickly and decisively steals the ball.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, install the latest version. ]

As long as I give up a little space between the ball and my body, Lucky can immediately use it and steal the ball.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Mbappe turned his head to look at Neymar. Although their relationship is not particularly close, they have formed a certain tacit understanding after fighting together in many games.

For this reason, Neymar did not break through in a straight line after getting the ball on the wing.

Instead, he took advantage of the moment when the full-back Kurzawa was dribbling to the side to attract attention, and suddenly dribbled towards the middle.

This move immediately stirred up Arsenal's defense to change.

In the face of this fleeting opportunity, Neymar directly made a diagonal pass.

The ball flew behind the full-back.

And there, Mbappe quickly moved forward. At this moment, Mbappe seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and ran happily.

Robertson's speed was completely unable to keep up with Mbappe, but he still pulled and dragged to limit it a little.

Mbappe's speed dropped to a certain extent, but at the moment when he was about to stop the ball.

A figure suddenly rushed out from the side and took the ball away first.

"How is it possible!"

Mbappe was shocked. He had enough confidence in his speed and no one could catch up with him.

But seeing that Lekai had already completed the counterattack with the ball, he was a little confused.

At the same time, Leka dribbled the ball to the midfield line, looked up, and then roared;

"Pierre!!!"

Aubameyang turned and ran.

He knew what Leka meant.

At the moment when Aubameyang turned and ran, Leka also completed the pass.

The ball flew high towards the gap behind Paris Saint-Germain.

Aubameyang ran quickly to pursue, but at the moment he wanted to stop the ball, his body was suddenly hit.

Silva rushed over, and the ball hit Aubameyang's shoulder and rolled out of the baseline.

"Arsenal is here again!!! It's Aubameyang again, this time!!!"

"Silva!!!"

The commentator of Sky Sports said with regret; "Silva's retreat was very timely, and he didn't even leave the opponent with a corner kick. This time the destruction was wonderful!"

"But Arsenal's counterattack is still worrying. How many times can Paris Saint-Germain withstand it?"

"Of course, Paris's attack was also very good before. The connection between the two flanks almost broke Arsenal's defense, but Kai's retreat was very early, and with the full-back's restraint, Mbappe couldn't catch up with the ball!"

"The game has been going on for ten minutes. Under the offensive of both sides, the game is also It's getting more and more exciting!"

"Arsenal used this game to tell everyone that they don't just know how to defend, their counterattacks are also equally sharp!"

"And Paris Saint-Germain seems to be a little uncomfortable, or in other words, facing Arsenal's strong midfield interception and coordinated defense tactics, they are a little difficult to display!"

"Arsenal didn't even narrow the defensive circle, and the personnel positions were not dense, but they stood every Paris Saint-Germain must use the key passing channel, which resulted in Paris Saint-Germain having enough running space, but unable to pass the ball smoothly!"

Mourinho on the sidelines was also very satisfied.

Although Arsenal has been defending, there are many counterattacks, and there is the only shot in the whole game.

Although it seems to be passive, it still stands in the defensive position.

Solid defense is bound to make Paris Saint-Germain more anxious, and once the opponent gets anxious, Arsenal's counterattack will become more sharp.

For Arsenal, keep a steady mind and slowly win the game, this is what Mourinho wants to see.
