Chapter 203 Heavyweight Dribbling
Dortmund's high press was very light, and so did Arsenal.
The two sides had a fierce collision from the front court, which also led to the continuous acceleration of the rhythm.
Arsenal are not afraid of this fast-paced style of play, after all, they play like this in the league.
Dortmund are also not afraid, they are also familiar with this kind of fast pace.
Now the cheering voice of Dortmund fans is extremely loud, and in this case, Dortmund players are also more and more hardworking, and their status is gradually rising.
In the 9th minute, Dortmund gave the ball to Lewandowski after a short pass from the frontcourt.
Lewandowski glanced at Arsenal's goal as he dribbled the ball to the left. There was no shooting angle.
He can only flick the ball to the left, pulling out of neutral.
But as soon as the ball was pulled out, a figure suddenly caught between him and the ball, blocking Lewandowski from the outside.
"pretty!"
Sky Sports commentator Paul Mawson roared.
The timing of Lekai's forward interception was simply perfect.
stuck in the moment when Lewandowski threw the ball, and Lewandowski stuck his head on Lucky's back. At this time, Lucky had separated the ball from Lewandowski.
Shhh! ! ! ! ! ! —
The Dortmund fans booed Luckey.
Regardless of this, Le Kai gave it to Sagna after he got the ball.
At the same time, he stepped forward to respond.
When Sagna passed back to Lucky again, Reus stepped forward and wanted to press.
But after Lekai stopped the ball, he took a step forward with his left leg, put his weight on the left side, and gave Royce a hard shoulder with his shoulder.
Royce and Lucky were not of the same order of magnitude at all. Lucky easily knocked Royce away, and at the same time touched the ball with the arch of his foot, took a pocket towards the back of his support foot, turned around and walked away.
"Heavyweight dribbling!"
Zhan Jun couldn't help laughing.
There are many skilled players in the midfield. In order to secure the ball, it is necessary to protect the ball with flexible movements and techniques.
But there is also another kind of midfielder.
They also have the ability to protect the ball and hold the ball, but not through speed, but body.
Such players often have good stopping and ball feel, but lack some flexible attributes, so they prefer to use a physical confrontation to get rid of them.
Obviously, Lucky is this type.
Although this type of player lacks some dribbling aesthetics, it highlights a sense of composure.
Lucky conceded very few balls, because if you want to grab the ball from Lucky's feet, you have to force him away.
But with Lucky's current tonnage and physical fitness, few people can physically interfere with Lucky.
In addition, Lucky almost never makes sudden stops and turns. This kind of action that needs to constantly change the center of gravity makes the opponent players have no chance to take advantage.
It can be said that although Cazorla is currently the strongest dribbling team in Arsenal, Lucky is far lower than Cazorla in terms of conceding goals!
Of course, there is also the factor that Lucky can hardly dribble, but as a midfielder, Lucky's data is luxurious enough.
Lekai took a few steps forward, he didn't pass it to Cazorla.
And Cazorla also pulled back homeopathically.
Although Cazorla is the playmaker in the frontcourt, Lucky has a higher priority than him.
So when Lucky stepped forward, Cazorla needed to fill in.
Lucky took the ball across half court and found that there was no good chance, so he passed it to Rosicky.
Rosicky returned to Lucky again, Lucky transferred Walcott.
Walcott gives the ball to Suarez.
Suarez tried to dribble to break through, but the opponent's defense was very dense and it was too difficult to break through, so after some attempts, he passed it back to Lucky again.
Lucky shook his head, he was ready to retreat.
Suddenly, he saw that Durm's retracement speed was a little slow after he went up to grab.
And Walcott was obviously a little bit ready to move.
Le Kai immediately stepped forward and pretended to catch the ball leisurely, but in the next second, his calf swayed slightly and his toes rubbed the underside of the ball.
The ball immediately flew behind Dortmund full-back Durm on the left.
At the same time, Walcott also started quickly, and under the powerful explosive force, the speed suddenly increased in a short period of time.
In the face of the sudden change, Durm was startled, he quickly turned around and ran.
But the start is not timely, and the acceleration has fallen behind.
Seeing that Walcott was about to overtake him, Durm could only start pulling frantically.
But he still couldn't stop Walcott, until Durm fell to the ground, still holding Walcott's jersey in his hand, and was dragged 2-3 meters away.
Walcott looked at the ball that flew out of the baseline, turned his head angrily and questioned.
"Durm! It's not right to pull people!"
Zhan Jun watched Durm embarrassedly dragging Walcott's jersey and being dragged three meters away, both funny and airy; "This has to be a card, this is a serious interference with the offense!"
Zhang Ludao; "I must give a card, this action is too obvious!"
As stated by the two commentators, Durm received a yellow card and received a warning.
Arsenal got a set-piece in the halfway area measured by Dortmund.
Cazorla ran to the penalty spot, and Le Kai and others also entered the penalty area of Dortmund.
Dortmund put more power on Mertesacker, after all, this is Arsenal's most header threat point.
Cazorla stood at the penalty spot, looking towards the penalty area.
He found that Lucky kept moving left and right, quite active, and looked back from time to time.
Cazorla made an immediate decision.
"Cazorla made a free throw! The ball flew to the penalty area! Isn't this ball a bit high? Mertesacker! Ouch! Too high!
Zhan Jun hugged his head and said regretfully; "This is a late penalty! We thought it was a high kick, but Cazorla was looking for Lekai! But bad luck, the ball was rejected by Dortmund's goal post!"
Le Kai squatted on the ground, he also held his head, with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
If you folded it towards the inside just now, this ball will be there!
Lucky is quite sorry!
Le Kai this time headed the goal and scared Dortmund into a cold sweat.
Hummels roared; "Why did you miss someone? Why is no one staring at Kai?"
Dortmund's players also looked at each other in dismay.
Their first attention was attracted by Mertesacker, and more attention was paid to Suarez in the back position. Luckey rarely made such a header.
But this time, Lucky made them sweat with a header.
On the other side, the Sky Sports commentary, Paul Mosen praised: "Kay's header ability is very good, although no header is recorded, but his header ability must not be ignored."
Dixon: "Yes! Last season, when Arsenal faced Stoke City, Arsenal suffered a loss in the aerial battle. Since then, we have often seen Kai pull back and participate in the fight for the top. A player who can fight for the top, his header ability will not be too bad!"
Lekai retraced, although it was a little depressing, it was quickly forgotten.
His header ability is very good, which mainly comes from Stoke City.
These two seasons, Arsenal have won only one of their four games against Stoke City.
Sky City gave them a lot of trouble.
In order to solve this problem, Lucky also has the ability to train headers.
After all, you can't put all the pressure on Mertesacker.
In the contest with Crouch and other tall guys, Lucky has become more and more proficient in grasping the timing of set pieces and corner kicks.
This is also the reason why he dared to show his header ability in this game.
Lekai's header ability sounded the alarm for Dortmund.
After all, Arsenal’s ground play was already strong enough in the past, and now they have added two air combat forces, Mertesacker and Luckey, which made Dortmund feel that they can’t give Arsenal too many corner kicks and set-piece opportunities.
At the coach's bench, Klopp pursed his lips tightly, his expression extremely serious.
Something is wrong with this game.
Arsenal's attacking routine is no longer as monotonous as before, but presents a feeling of blooming flowers.
They can kick the ground, play aerial combat, kick fast counterattacks, and conduct positional warfare by passing control!
Arsenal's individual firepower may not be enough, but when these things come together, it feels very bad.
Klopp suddenly felt surrounded by wolves!
Yes!
The current Arsenal is like a hungry wolf!
Their single attack power may not be strong enough, but they have strict discipline and organization, coupled with a variety of offensive routines, Arsenal's offense has become more and more elusive!
