Chapter 43: A Final Battle (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe First!)
At the coaching bench, Wenger looked at the court and nodded slightly.
Although there were only three rounds of competition, Lucky's changes were obvious.
Both physically and mentally.
The most intuitive feeling is that Lucky started to get the ball.
This is not only reflected in confidence, but also that this guy is ready to take on more responsibilities.
Wenger applauds this change.
That's what the core should be.
Have the courage to accept more responsibility and make the right decisions.
From this aspect, Lucky has done very well.
The competition in the stadium is extremely fierce.
The offenses of both sides are somewhat difficult to break through the opponent's defense, Arsenal's Lucky and Chelsea's Ramirez.
The two of them are like two walls, directly shouldering most of the team's defensive burden.
But Lucky's pressure is obviously greater.
Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Torres, and even the magic lamp Lampard who is ready to move in the backcourt.
In front of these people, although Lucai tried hard to defend, the pressure gradually increased.
The style of the Premier League is aggressive, intense football based on confrontation.
The same is true for Chelsea and Arsenal at this time.
The two teams kept clashing like bulls.
If it was Arsenal in its heyday, Lucky wouldn't be indulging in it and would go straight to work.
Just be upfront!
But Arsenal doesn't have the capital now.
Phew~~~~~
Lucky suddenly stopped running.
As Arsenal's physical coach, he already feels so exhausted, let alone his teammates.
They need to take a breather.
Podolski passed the ball back, and Lucky received the ball and continued to pass it back.
Immediately, he made a downward gesture.
Seeing this gesture, the Arsenal players breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
The high-temperature pace of the game almost overwhelmed them.
"Smart decision!"
On the sidelines, Wenger couldn't help laughing.
The impatience of young people means that they are always distracted by many things.
What Arsenal needs now is not an attack, but a chance to breathe.
Lucky obviously understood this key point and took the initiative to slow down the pace and give his teammates a chance to restore their physical fitness.
Only after the fist is retracted and strikes again can it cause enough damage.
Lucky's call to stop made Arsenal breathe a sigh of relief, but Chelsea was very uncomfortable.
They were swinging all three axes, and were about to kill Arsenal. At this time, the opponent's sudden change of pace caught them off guard.
Rampart glanced at the inverted ball in the opponent's backcourt and immediately shook his head.
There is still a chance! Take it easy!
After nearly 40 minutes of confrontation, both teams entered a relatively peaceful state.
They didn't seem to be in a hurry to decide the winner.
And in this rhythm, the first half of the game also ended.
Inside the Arsenal dressing room.
Walcott shouted loudly: "We need to play more decisively and as a team. Don't think about sticking to the ball and passing it out. You can't run as fast as the ball being passed out!"
"Ramirez is so annoying, he always comes over to steal my ball!" Chamberlain said aggrievedly.
"Don't worry about him, pass the ball out. As long as you don't stick to the ball, he can't steal your ball!" Walcott said again.
Lucky sat quietly on the bench, taking deep breaths to regain his physical strength as quickly as possible.
"Here!" Ramsay handed a bottle of energy drink to Lucky.
Lucky rinsed his mouth, spit it out, touched his lips, and said: "In the second half, I want to participate in more attacks!"
Ramsey smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will help you fill your spot!"
Ramsey knows very well that if Arsenal wants to score, Lucky's key shot is very important.
But in this way, their defensive pressure will be greater.
But they have no choice.
Or be beaten to death by Chelsea.
Or choose to fight against the odds.
Obviously, Lucky chose the latter!
On the other side, Chelsea coach Benitez is furious.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Your organization is too poor. You are being fooled around by an 18-year-old kid. I have said before, you shouldn't play like this. Don't blindly pass the ball forward. You must have Purpose! Purpose!”
Benitez didn't care at all that Lampard was completely black-faced and continued to roar: "When I was at Liverpool, this is not how we played!"
After hearing this, Lampard quit completely.
"Hey! Boss! I know you have an unforgettable experience in Liverpool, but you have to know that you are at Stamford Bridge now and you are no longer a member of Liverpool!"
Other Chelsea players also looked at Benitez with distrust in their eyes.
Benitez frowned, looked deeply at Lampard, and did not answer.
"OK! This is the strategy for the second half, we must crush that brat to death!"
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Arsenal took the lead.
Lucky transferred the ball to the backcourt, and then did not run forward, but took the initiative to approach the ball holder.
Vermaelen did not pass to Lucky, but to Sagna.
Lucky continued to stay close to Sagna and turned his head to look. There was no defensive player beside him.
Sagna handed the ball to Lucky.
Lucky stopped the ball steadily, turned around, took two steps forward, and then transferred the ball to Ramsey.
Then he got close again and prepared to respond.
"Arsenal is playing ball control?"
Andy Gray was surprised.
Since Wilshere, Cazorla and Arteta were injured, Arsenal has not played the passing and controlling style.
Because they lack the main hub of the passing and controlling in the midfield.
Dixon watched for a moment and shook his head; "No! This is not passing and controlling, it's just a simple pass!"
"Passing? So what does Arsenal want to do?" Andy Gray said puzzledly.
Dixon also shook his head, he didn't know either.
His eyes were fixed on Lucky, he was very curious about what this Arsenal No. 4 wanted to do.
In the game, Lucky kept transferring left and right, mainly passing the ball in the backcourt.
In their backcourt passing, the pressure was not too great, and Lucky could fully support it.
At this stage, Lucky could not do the kind of organization that Arteta did, so he did not pass the ball forward, trying to use organization to tear open the opponent's defense line.
Lucky did more transfers on the left and right sides to attract the opponent's overall forward pressure.
Chelsea's defense was too solid, and it was difficult for Arsenal to take the initiative to attack.
To this end, they can only lure the opponent to press forward by back-passing the ball, leaving enough space behind.
That is, passive attack.
This is also the only way that Lekai can think of at present.
Although it is a stupid way, it is worth a try.
Arsenal's passive play made Lampard frown slightly.
Arsenal gave up the game?
Lampard shook his head, this is impossible.
So, they want a point away from home?
They want a draw!
This is the only possibility.
The game drags on, which is good for Arsenal. Chelsea cannot accept a draw at home, but Arsenal can completely accept a point away from home.
Thinking of this, Lampard shouted loudly; "Press forward, and the whole lineup presses forward!"
Hearing this, Chelsea's overall lineup began to move forward.
The sudden increase in the pressure of passing made Lekai understand that Chelsea finally moved forward.
The pressure of passing is very high.
Chelsea pressed very tightly in the frontcourt. Although Lekai passed the ball with one touch, he still felt a lot of pressure.
At this time, Lekai had come to the center circle, and Ramsey sent the ball to Lekai's feet again.
Before receiving the ball, Lekai turned his head and looked, and suddenly saw Oscar rushing towards him.
Lekai's eyes lit up, is he here for revenge?
Lekai took the opportunity to push the ball, and Oscar really ran to the left to block it.
At this moment, Lekai suddenly stepped on the ball with his toes, and his right foot took the opportunity to turn around and pass the ball.
Oscar's aggressive pressing allowed Lekai to break into the opponent's half, and he was in a state of no one defending.
At this time, Lekai started to rush like a wild horse.
"Oscar came forward to steal the ball, and Kai wanted to pass the ball! No! Pull the ball and turn around to get rid of it!~~~" Andy Gray suddenly shouted; "Charge up!!"
Arsenal suddenly rushed up.
Lekai's escape was a signal, and then everyone started to burst into a burst.
Lekai's dribbling speed was too slow, so he directly passed it to Walcott, and then threw his arms and ran wildly.
Arsenal suddenly had six players join the counterattack.
This change caught Chelsea off guard.
Chelsea coach Benítez on the sidelines took a breath and then yelled:
"Return to defense!! Hurry up and return to defense!!!"
Although Benítez was yelling, Chelsea went too deep and they could not stop the Arsenal players in the first place.
The entire Stamford Bridge suddenly became quiet.
Chelsea fans watched this scene nervously, their eyes looking for the back line.
Cahill, Ivanovic, anyone can stop them!
But the next second, they saw Suarez stuck between the two.
"Shit! ——"
Chelsea fans cursed.
Deafening boos sounded.
But this did not stop the Arsenal players from getting closer.
Lekai ran at full speed, and he soon came to the opponent's penalty area and stood parallel to Suarez.
Lekai looked up at Suarez, then twisted his feet and started pulling towards the side.
Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole's eyelids twitched, and he could only follow.
When Walcott came to the penalty area on the side, four Arsenal teammates had already rushed into the penalty area.
The three Chelsea defenders could not defend at all.
Walcott did not hesitate at all and passed the ball directly.
At this moment, time is everything.
If Chelsea returns to defense successfully, everything will be over!
Walcott passed the ball to Suarez.
Suarez made a move to run forward, tricking Cahill to stagger two steps, and quickly grabbed Suarez's jersey and pulled it.
Suarez felt the center of gravity was unstable, and he knew he was being pulled.
At this moment, Suarez had an urge to bite someone!
Watching the ball slip away from his feet was so uncomfortable.
Before Suarez fell to the ground, he turned his head and looked over.
He found that everyone was tricked by him to run forward.
As a result, the ball was about to cross the entire penalty area!
Suarez was about to raise his hand.
But the next second, he saw someone appear at the back point.
It should be said that there was more than one person.
Lucky appeared at the back post, and on his back hung an octopus-like Ashley Cole.
Ashley Cole hugged Lucky tightly, as if he was going to give this guy a head throw.
But at this time, Lekai exerted force on his abdomen, and his terrifying core helped him to hold on.
His face was ferocious, and he almost dragged Ashley Cole forward. With his center of gravity unstable, he hit the ball directly with his left foot.
At this time, he didn't care about the angle.
Go!
Great force makes miracles happen!
The ball was pressed very low and rushed towards the goal along the ground.
Chelsea goalkeeper, the god of war with a headgear, Cech was standing there. He pressed down his right foot and tilted his body, ready to block.
Seeing the ball getting closer and closer, suddenly a leg appeared in the field of vision.
This was very abrupt, and it also made Cech's body stiff.
The ball hit the instep of that foot and flew towards the other side of the goal.
Swish! ! ! !
Chelsea's net trembled!
