Chapter 53: The Offensive Begins
Chapter 833: Start the Attack
Although this goal was not scored by Lucky, his role was greater than the goal scorer.
The pass in the first stage helped Arsenal get a corner kick opportunity. If Wilshere could seize the opportunity, he might even score a goal directly.
In the second stage corner kick, Lucky got the first point and took the lead in attacking. After the goalkeeper saved the ball, Giroud made a supplementary shot and scored.
Lucky's role in both attacks was obvious.
"This is Kai's ability on the offensive end. Many people think that Kai is a defensive midfielder, but this judgment is wrong. Maybe when Kai first joined Arsenal, he was indeed responsible for defense to a large extent, but in the subsequent games, Kai has become an all-around midfielder through continuous learning and training!"
"The reason why we have this illusion is largely because Kai is more competent in defense and his superb defensive skills are the basis for judgment, but just like this game, if the opponent underestimates Kai's offensive ability, then it will pay a painful price!"
Andy Gray praised Kai, and Vermaelen on the side also interrupted:
"When I was still the captain of Arsenal, Kai's ability was close to all-around. Of course, unlike technical players, Kai does not have that kind of fancy skills, but Kai's ability cannot be underestimated for this reason. He just chooses to pass the ball for a faster attack, which does not mean that he does not have extraordinary abilities!"
"I also look forward to Kai's dribbling performance on the court!"
Vermaelen is really looking forward to Kai showing his ability in this area.
In the past, during Arsenal's internal entertainment games, Lekai has shown his extraordinary ability more than once, but in official games, Lekai almost never chooses this method, but chooses to pass the ball.
Lekai is the type of player who is so stable that it is outrageous.
It is almost impossible to make him make mistakes.
He is very strict with his teammates.
But he is even stricter with himself!
This also makes Arsenal a disciplined team.
With Arsenal's goal, the scores of both sides came to the same starting line.
After Arsenal equalized the score, Manchester City's previous efforts were in vain.
And Manchester City also needs to organize an attack again to re-create a leading advantage.
But Arsenal will not let him lead again so easily.
"After the game resumed, the pace of the game was obviously accelerated. Both Arsenal and Manchester City wanted to use offensive methods to create advantages!"
"And the two teams also changed the relatively slow game rhythm before, and tacitly chose to attack quickly!"
Arsenal and Manchester City played against each other, and the rhythm was really fast.
Before Manchester City finished going down the bottom, Arsenal finished stealing the ball in the midfield and quickly launched a counterattack.
Manchester City was no less impressive. After desperately pressing, they rushed towards Arsenal's goal again.
Both teams showed amazing momentum at this time, as if they were going to deal with each other in the first half.
For the fans in the stands, they felt a dull pain in their hearts after the game entered this rhythm.
The main reason was that the rhythm was too tight, and sometimes they were even so nervous that they couldn't breathe.
After the steal, they wanted to take a breath, and the other side suddenly started to press.
After a while, the players relied on years of training to play as fiercely as tigers, while the fans were a little bit overwhelmed.
But the fans did not dislike this kind of rhythm of the game.
Tough! Confrontation! Fast pace!
These are the types of games that fans like, especially the stalemate offensive battles.
When the score came to 1:1, both Arsenal and Manchester City wanted to score a goal in the first half to create an advantage.
But the offensive battles on both sides were digested by the opponent's defense.
In terms of the scene, Manchester City is naturally better.
After all, Arsenal is still a defensive team, and cannot compare with Manchester City in offense.
But Arsenal's occasional ball selection and sudden counterattack can scare Manchester City.
For this reason, Manchester City's forward pressure did not dare to be too reckless.
Both sides are fully opening up space and using sufficient field width to expand the defensive distance.
But Arsenal's chain defense is extremely rigorous. Even if a certain defensive width is opened up, they can make up for it instantly.
This also makes it difficult for Manchester City to easily put the ball into Arsenal's dangerous area.
Even De Bruyne's precise pass cannot do it.
As for De Bruyne's unexpected pass position, it was watched by Leka.
Many times, when De Bruyne chose the kind of pass that almost broke his eyes, everyone was shouting, and Leka had already arrived at the landing point of the ball and completed the clearance.
It can be said that only De Bruyne and Lucky had the same vision throughout the game, and the others could not keep up at all.
This was not good news for De Bruyne.
The passing method that had been successful before was suddenly completely blocked.
Lucky obviously kept an eye on De Bruyne, and whenever the opponent wanted to pass the ball, Lucky could respond quickly.
And Lucky's position was relatively safe, and he could support most areas of the court.
While running, he constantly killed the threatening position.
De Bruyne felt exhausted after playing for a while.
He had never seen such a difficult defensive player.
In front of Lekai, he seemed to be stripped naked.
However, Manchester City still needed to attack, so De Bruyne chose a risky pass.
He wanted to increase the force of the pass to forcefully break through Lekai's defense.
Bang! ! !
De Bruyne almost volleyed the ball, the ball was very powerful and fast.
But during the flight of the ball, a foot suddenly came across, and with a small buffer, the originally irritable pass quietly fell at Lekai's feet.
This basic skill of stopping the ball made the Arsenal fans at the scene burst into applause.
But it was not over yet. After stopping the ball, Lekai looked up and then twisted his waist to pass the ball.
"Pierre!!!"
At the moment Lekai passed the ball, Aubameyang had already started to rush up, and Kyle Walker was one body behind Aubameyang.
At the moment Lekai passed the ball, the two were standing in parallel.
But Aubameyang was facing the attacking side, while Kyle Walker had his back to his own goal. When he needed to turn around, his speed naturally couldn't keep up with Aubameyang.
Aubameyang rushed to the landing point.
Kyle Walker was not in a hurry. He expected that he would be able to catch up the moment Aubameyang stopped the ball.
Seeing Aubameyang coming to the landing point.
Kyle Walker wanted to grab the ball when the opponent stopped the ball and lost speed.
But at this time, Aubameyang suddenly adjusted and rushed directly towards the ball.
The thigh drove the calf and slammed the ball hard.
This shot was powerful.
Flying towards the far corner of the goal.
"Aubameyang! Shoot directly!"
The ball had to be very low, almost flying low over the grass to the goal.
The goalkeeper also focused on the ball and kept adjusting his position.
Just when he wanted to pounce forward, the ball suddenly fell, hit the ground, and bounced up.
The goalkeeper was startled, and while lunging forward, he stretched out his fist and hit the ball.
The force on the ball changed, and it flew out of the bottom line, brushing against Manchester City's goal post.
"This ball is really dangerous! Aubameyang's shot was of too high quality. The moment the ball bounced off the ground, he shot it directly! Both the power and the angle were perfect, and there was a downward spin when it touched the ground, and the goalkeeper was almost shaken."
Hiss! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——
The Manchester City fans at the scene also took a breath of cold air.
This shot was simply amazing.
They began to sweat on their foreheads.
Arsenal's long-range pass and shot almost broke Manchester City's goal again.
Although Manchester City controlled more ball possession, Arsenal had three shots at present, while Manchester City only had one.
In terms of the number of shots alone, Arsenal's offense and counterattack were more effective.
On the other hand, Manchester City was somewhat constrained by Arsenal's defense.
Especially the midfield was somewhat difficult to move in a straight line.
Arsenal used chain defense and constant left and right adjustments to gradually cut off Manchester City's connection between the frontcourt and the midfield.
Aguero had not touched the ball for 7 minutes.
As the team's top scorer, if Aguero lost his voice, Manchester City's attack would become extremely difficult.
