Chapter 153 Midfield Adjustment
"Left! Guard!"
"I come!
! ——”
Lucai roared, suddenly burst out from behind, and with a diving dive, he pushed the ball out of the penalty area as it was about to land.
The ball was destroyed by Kante's big foot, and Arsenal solved a goal crisis.
Lucky got up from the ground, his red jersey already covered with grass clippings.
"Pooh!"
Lucky spit out the grass clippings in his mouth and his expression became more serious.
Real Madrid is simply too difficult to deal with!
Their offensive choices are always unexpected. Modric is the brains of Real Madrid. His movement seems light, but he can always appear at the weak point of the defense. He can tear apart Arsenal's defense in one move.
Now Arsenal is starting to keep an eye on Ronaldo, but other players are not vegetarians either.
Just because they are willing to pass the ball to Ronaldo does not mean that these people are real bastards.
Being able to join Real Madrid means that their abilities are extremely outstanding.
It's just a tactical need to create this kind of gangster feeling, but each of them has the ability to become the core of the offense.
Lucky took a small breath. After taking the lead, Real Madrid's pressure on their defense became even greater. They needed to stabilize their rhythm and defense as soon as possible.
"After Real Madrid started to exert force, Arsenal began to play extremely passively, and their counterattacks began to decrease. Kaiy stayed more in the half-court to do defensive work, and under the pressure of Kai and Kante in the midfield, Arsenal Na has solved many crises. Without these two people, what would become of Arsenal's defense is really unimaginable!"
Andy Gray shook his head and sighed.
The performances of Lucky and Kanter were exciting enough, but they still could not completely resist the attack from Real Madrid.
"so annoying!"
Yinske couldn't help but complain that Real Madrid's offense was still strong enough, but they were still unable to break Arsenal's defense.
The resilience of these Arsenal people is also too strong.
The defense line seems towering and trembling, but it is difficult to break through.
In La Liga, Real Madrid's offense has always been unfavorable, but when they faced Arsenal, their previously effective offense became somewhat difficult to execute.
They didn't know whether there was a problem with their own state or because Arsenal's defense was too good.
Moreover, when passing the ball, the Arsenal people also deliberately blocked their passing channels, forcing them to pass the ball towards the side, always blocking the breakthrough route in the middle.
At the same time, Arsenal's restrictions on Ronaldo were also in place. In this case, Real Madrid's offense was not as easy as the fans and commentators looked at it.
"Put it in!"
"Be sure to be firm when thrusting forward!"
Cristiano Ronaldo also kept shouting loudly, and this game also made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The previous performance was indeed good, but it also attracted a lot of defensive power from Arsenal.
In fact, Ronaldo was slightly dissatisfied.
He has attracted such strong firepower, why can't his teammates score!
At the same time, Ronaldo also looked at Lucky.
In this game, Ronaldo completely realized Lucky's defensive ability.
With that kind of almost terrifying defensive coverage, every attack by Real Madrid needs to meet the test of Lucky's defense.
This guy's prediction ability and sense of the game are so good that he can always appear in key positions and disrupt their offense.
Even if Real Madrid pushed the attack into the penalty area, Lucai was still able to complete the retreat and block it.
As Premier League fans say, this guy is a wall!
A tall iron wall standing in Arsenal's midfield!
"Time is running out!"
The Spanish commentator said worriedly.
He vaguely remembered the crazy night Arsenal faced Barcelona in the last Champions League game.
I have to say that that game gave many La Liga fans a great shock.
Before the game, almost no one thought Barcelona would fail.
After all, their advantage is so great that they can almost advance with their eyes closed.
But the Arsenal people just poured in five goals at the Nou Camp and severely dragged Barcelona out of the door of promotion.
After that game, Barcelona's performance in the league even had problems. It can only be said that the impact was too great.
Now, Arsenal is in the Champions League semi-finals. Their personnel has not been replenished and their physical fitness has not recovered. These guys still scored first against the strong Real Madrid.
This performance already has enough championship qualities.
Yes!
If someone said before, there are many teams that perform well in the Champions League.
So at this moment, the best performing team in the Champions League is undoubtedly Arsenal!
From the beginning of the group stage, these guys have been under bad luck and need to play a cruel schedule.
But they defeated strong opponents time and time again and now have reached the Champions League semi-finals.
It's hard to imagine what kind of performance Arsenal would perform if they got enough rest or a slightly easier schedule.
"Be on guard!
"
"Hold on for two minutes!"
"Two minutes left!"
"Gunners! Nice play, hold on for two minutes!"
"hold onto!"
The Arsenal fans in the stands were shouting loudly.
The Gunners barely had time to look at the timer on the screen, but the roar of the fans kept reminding them.
Two minutes is short, but also very long.
At least for Arsenal now, these two minutes are really hard to endure.
"Hold on!"
"Go!"
The Gunners are still shouting.
They stubbornly sniped Real Madrid's attack again and again, and they forced Real Madrid back again and again, clearing the siege in the penalty area.
In this case, the two minutes finally slowly consumed.
Bang!
After goalkeeper Martinez punched the ball away with both fists, he just landed when the referee blew the whistle for halftime.
And Yinsko, who was chasing the ball, also swung his foot in anger after the whistle sounded, venting his anger.
After losing the ball, Real Madrid's continuous fierce attacks failed to work.
Arsenal is still in the lead, and they need to enter the second half at a disadvantage.
Papa Papa Papa Papa Papa Papa!
!
The applause at the scene broke out.
The Gunners gave warm applause and they sent blessings to the Arsenal players for their performance in the first half.
The applause for Lekai was even more intense, and the fans on both sides of the player channel kept shouting Lekai's name.
Lekai nodded slightly to the stands in response, and then walked in.
The expressions of the Real Madrid players who were traveling with him were a little depressed.
After returning to the locker room, both sides had to make adjustments.
In the Real Madrid locker room, Zidane clapped loudly after entering the locker room:
"Okay, gentlemen! We have given them enough pressure in the first half. Now we can't limit our thinking to the goal lost in the first half. We need to think about how to play well in the remaining 45 minutes and how to break Arsenal's goal. I believe you are all the best, and you can do these things!"
After a little encouragement, Zidane began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
Real Madrid's goal loss in the first half was actually quite depressing.
Arsenal blasted their goal in the second counterattack.
Even after that, they started a fierce counterattack, but still failed.
In the second half, Real Madrid needs some changes
The atmosphere on Arsenal's side is relatively relaxed.
However, Mourinho is also nervously arranging the tactical arrangements for the second half.
In fact, according to his inner thoughts, Mourinho wants to continue to defend.
But this style of play is too passive, and the last period of the first half also proved that blindly defending will only make Real Madrid's offense more aggressive.
In the case of being unable to weaken the opponent's offense, defense becomes less meaningful.
For this reason, he needs to make some counterattacks on the basis of defense.
And this requires Giroud to stand further back.
In addition to these, Mourinho also gave Lekai an additional task.
"Kai, when attacking in the second half, you should be closer to the left!"
Lekai was stunned.
"Left?"
"That's right!" Mourinho looked serious and tapped the tactical board: "Our left-wing attack has not been able to show enough performance. Aubameyang needs someone to help him open a channel. Whether it's simple cooperation or long passes, your task is to help Aubameyang run!"
Hearing this, Lekai pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
He understood what Mourinho meant.
On the other hand, Aubameyang was a little embarrassed.
After all, this kind of thing that requires someone to help you open up the situation always has a factor caused by lack of ability.
However, Aubameyang's performance in the first half was not bad, but he just couldn't further stimulate Real Madrid's defense.
So, Mourinho plans to put the main offensive route on the left wing.
