Chapter 733 The sense of despair brought by Arsenal
Arsenal's violent bombing made Lyon play extremely passively, and facing waves of attacks with great threats, they dared not run out of the penalty area easily.
Even if they stayed in the penalty area, Lukaku's waves of impact made them feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Arsenal has a lot of passing points, which also allows Lukaku to fight for the top in the penalty area.
Coupled with Lukaku's eagerness to score goals and strong fighting spirit, Lyon became even more uncomfortable.
The French commentator almost lost his voice.
He didn't even know how to explain the game.
Since the start of the game, the trend of the game has far exceeded their expectations.
Under waves of Arsenal's attacks, Lyon was completely kicked and couldn't find any solution.
The Lyon fans at the scene also looked confused and anxious.
In addition to this, they also have a trace of anger!
This is their home field!
How did Lyon play like this at home?
However, the fans still did not give up cheering. They expected Lyon to play a wave of counterattacks through tough defense.
At this moment, Lyon's central defender suddenly grabbed the ball, and immediately swung his big foot forward.
I don't know if it was a trick, the ball was about to fly to the running track of Lyon center Lacazette.
As long as Lacazette stops the ball, they have enough opportunities to threaten Arsenal's goal when the Arsenal full-back fails to return to the defense immediately.
At this moment, the Lyon fans stood up excitedly, they were looking forward to it!
"I come!"
Jimenez suddenly ran forward.
Seeing the actions of the central defender partner, Hummels immediately made a delayed position. His position was not particularly forward, but moved slightly to the side, mainly to compete for the second point.
At this time, the ball is about to fall.
Lyon center Lacazette also saw Jimenez rushing towards him.
For offensive players, as long as they realize the existence of defense, they will have a little tension.
Even professional players are no exception.
Jimenez stepped forward directly, and the two competed for the top together.
However, Jimenez, who was a little slower, failed to catch up to the first point. The falling ball hit Lacazette's shoulder and flew diagonally forward.
Hummels is just in the position of the landing point.
Facing the ball and pushing forward with ease, Le Kai stepped back to catch the ball and turned around immediately.
Lyon's counterattack was destroyed cleanly by Arsenal.
"Lacazette failed to stop for the first time, and the tacit understanding between the two central defenders of Arsenal is also very good. One goes up and the other protects for the second point!"
"Among the flashes, Arsenal made a correct defensive coordination!"
The French commentator pursed his lips and said: "Lyon needs more players to participate in the counterattack. It is not this kind of dribbling, but a counterattack with an active plan!"
It's easy to say, but every one of Lyon's players is exhausted.
Just defense is enough for them to drink a pot, let alone counterattack.
And even if they wanted to counterattack, they couldn't cross the midfield line.
Ramsey, Lucky and Kanter almost occupy the main points of the midfield. It is difficult to penetrate the ground ball. As for the long pass, Lyon is not confident that it can pass Arsenal's defense.
At this time, there is no solution.
Tactics are somewhat restrained, but it is more of a reflection of the gap between the team type and even individual strength.
All of these caused Lyon to be unable to come up with enough counterattack scale.
They don't have a winger who is particularly good at running, and there are almost no breakthrough points.
Boom! !
Shua! ! !
Suddenly, there was a huge muffled sound.
When the Lyon players turned their heads and looked over, they saw that the ball had entered their goal.
The Arsenal fans at the scene have begun to cheer.
"World wave! Kai's long shot from outside the penalty area on the right pierced Lyon's goal, and a long shot from a diagonal line went straight to the dead corner! This shot is simply too beautiful!"
In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Paul Mosen clapped his hands and laughed.
Lucky's long shot is no stranger to Premier League fans and commentators.
But every time they see Lucky's violent aesthetic bombardment, they feel extremely comfortable.
This kind of long shot can always ignite the passion in the hearts of fans.
The first half was not over yet, Arsenal expanded the score again with Lucky's goal.
And this goal also made Lyon a little confused.
Can defend inside the restricted area, but not outside the restricted area.
They huddled in the penalty area, but Lucky's long shot told them that Arsenal still had the ability to penetrate their goal.
And judging from Lucky's current state, this long shot may continue.
Pull out to limit Lucky?
But once pulled out, what should we do in the restricted area?
"Retract some! We can't defend!"
Defenders can only call their teammates to retreat.
Their task does not need to enter the penalty area, but they must block Le Kai's shooting angle.
Anyway, Lyon's offense against Arsenal is basically in a collapsed situation.
The scene was firmly controlled by Arsenal.
"pretty!"
At the coach's bench, Mourinho punched hard.
Lucky's goals always appear at very suitable times.
When Lyon felt that he could seize the opportunity by relying on the defensive counterattack, Lucky pierced the opponent's goal with a long shot, putting great pressure on them again.
At the same time, tell them that even if they hold the big penalty area, they still face the danger of losing the ball.
This goal made Lyon's relatively stable defense established with great difficulty instantly broken.
The overall rhythm is developing in the direction of collapse.
Mourinho turned his head and looked over, he saw Lyon's coach Bruno Genesio looking devastated.
He stood with the assistant coach, and the two had a heated discussion.
The direction they point to is where Lucky is.
Obviously Lucky was causing them a lot of headaches.
It’s not just them, Lucky is a player who makes all opposing coaches a headache.
Mourinho has a deep understanding of this feeling.
Because Lucky can always use an almost violent way to destroy the stability and system they have finally built.
Once this stability is broken, eventually either a rebuild or a complete breakdown.
At this time, Lyon is at this critical point.
"So, what are they going to do?"
Mourinho's expression is quite relaxed.
On the one hand, the team leads by two goals, on the other hand, they firmly control the initiative.
No matter what it is, they will not be easily overthrown.
After Arsenal scored the second goal, they recovered some offensive rhythm slightly.
This also made Leon feel relieved.
But they are also very clear that Arsenal are saving energy for the second half.
With a two-goal lead in the first half, they don't have to continue to bombard and waste energy.
They can already deal with it in the second half with a great advantage.
On the other hand, Lyon is already in chaos.
Everyone was a little dazed.
Can't find a breakthrough!
Playing without rhythm.
Unilaterally suppressed.
Even the midfielder can't hold the ball anymore, and they will be cut off by Arsenal if they pass the ball with at most four feet.
This huge gap in strength made Lyon feel desperate.
At the same time, they were extremely sad and indignant.
Shit!
Such a team is actually playing in the Europa League?
Arsenal's strength has obviously surpassed everyone in the Europa League, and it feels like a massacre here.
Even in the Champions League, this is a championship seed.
Before the game, they felt that the Premier League teams played poorly in the European war, and this may also be an opportunity for them to win Arsenal.
And Arsenal lost to Fenerbahce in the group stage, they have the opportunity to take advantage of this loophole.
But once the game started, everything was different.
Arsenal's state!
Their style of play!
They quickly entered the game state and suppressed frantically.
At this time, the Lyon players have passively defended for half of the time.
It wasn't until the referee blew his whistle and the time entered the intermission that they were relieved.
But at this time, they hardly have any fighting spirit.
Even, they have begun to worry about what to do in the second half.
This gap in strength makes them feel that even if they find a suitable tactical arrangement, they cannot beat Arsenal.
After experiencing the entire first half, Arsenal gave them only the word 'despair'.
