Chapter 790 High morale
Arsenal's offensive has brought a great test to Leicester City's defense.
Leicester City ushered in the biggest test in the first game of the reorganized defense.
Arsenal's attack group put a lot of pressure on Leicester City.
Especially for Harry Maguire, Arsenal’s striker can face himself single-handedly at any time without a strong defensive midfielder. In this case, Maguire’s shortcoming of turning slowly is gradually exposed.
Even facing Arsenal's most stocky player Lukaku, Maguire is still in a relatively inflexible state.
"Don't rush to shoot! Keep the ball under your feet!"
Lucy clapped his hands and encouraged his teammates.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal's performance was not bad. Everyone entered the game state at an extremely fast speed, which is a very good phenomenon.
This means that the Gunners have enough positive fighting spirit this season.
Leicester City reopened the goal-line kick, and their style of play has become more cautious. No matter how easy it is to launch an attack, it mainly focuses on pouring the ball.
But Arsenal will not give them such an easy opportunity to conduct.
Keep on applying pressure! Constantly stepped forward to press!
"faster!"
"Get out faster!"
"here!"
"return!"
The players of Leicester City are actively communicating and exchanging information at the same time.
But Arsenal's linkage press was done so well that it almost blocked most of Leicester City's passing channels.
This also forced the two wingers of Leicester City to retreat to catch the ball, which increased the receiving points and also helped the pressure on the defense.
But in this case, Arsenal pressed forward even more brazenly.
"Press it up!"
Lucky waved his hand directly, and the Arsenal players immediately pressed forward.
The defensive midfielder directly crossed the opponent's half, and the defenders pressed to the middle circle.
Leicester City as a whole was compressed into the penalty area, and the ball was lost.
"Leicester City is playing more and more passively. Arsenal showed a strong fighting intention in this game. Their offense made Leicester City a bit overwhelmed."
It is more than just unbearable. At this time, Leicester City already feels that it is on the verge of its limit.
Arsenal are good at playing fast-paced games.
Their passing and off-ball movement are top-notch.
Even though Leicester City is very cautious in defending and blocking loopholes, Arsenal can still run without the ball to open up space and complete the pass.
For a while, the ball was firmly under Arsenal's control.
"We have always thought that Mourinho is a defensive-oriented coach, but he also played well in pass control!"
Paul Mosen made a little joke.
Dixon also shook his head and laughed.
This is not transmission control, it is suppressing by relying on the difference in strength.
Actually, Arsenal’s tactics are basically defensive counterattacks, but Leicester City can’t grab the ball, and they can’t grab the ball from Arsenal, which is caused by the excessive strength gap.
If it were any other team, Arsenal would never play like this, and their formation would not be so wide.
But Leicester City is obviously not on this list.
Midfield suppression is a key!
The Arsenal midfielder headed by Lucky gives the entire team a lot of freedom. Depending on the ability of the midfielder, Arsenal's forwards can play more easily.
With the cooperation of the midfielders, their running positions and breakthroughs are very effective.
After all, Wilshere was able to assist in every attack, and no matter how bad it was, he could take away a defensive force.
This greatly reduces their breakthrough pressure.
In this case, Arsenal also feel that they are about to usher in a goal.
Continuously advancing and exerting pressure.
Leicester City's defense has begun to be a little overwhelmed.
At this time, it only needs a little force, or a second pass to tear the line of defense.
Lucky kept turning his head to observe while running forward.
Suddenly Le Kai ran to the right sideline.
And Aubameyang paid attention to Le Kai's running position, and immediately cut across the penalty area.
Leicester City's full-back has been kicked a little dizzy by Aubameyang. Seeing Aubameyang's sudden movement, he was frightened and immediately followed.
The next second, Le Kai and Aubameyang crossed positions.
"Oops!"
The full-back of Leicester City was taken aback.
At this time, Wilshere suddenly pulled the ball horizontally, and then stuffed it behind the full-back of Leicester City.
After completing the crossover, Le Kai rushed to the ball immediately.
"Chance! Kay!" X2
Paul Mosen and Dixon shouted out at the same time.
Lucky received the ball easily without marking.
Then he swiped towards the inside line, and his whole body squeezed in first.
And this overlapped with the full-back position of Leicester City's return defense. The latter had to give way. Once there was a collision, it was likely to be a penalty.
This concession is a problem.
Le Kai's foot is a little too big, and he quickly penetrated into the restricted area.
Seeing Le Kai entering the penalty area, Leicester City's defense immediately sounded the alarm.
"Go up! Stop him!"
Harry Maguire immediately rushed towards Lucky aggressively.
He can't carry Lukaku, can't he also carry Le Kai who is obviously thinner?
But before he got close, Lucy suddenly made a pick.
"Again?"
The ball almost flew past Maguire's face.
During this period, Maguire only needs to stretch out his neck a little, and he can destroy it.
But under the subconscious dodge of his body, he couldn't do it.
The ball came behind Maguire, and Lukaku had already slapped him, facing the falling ball, a strafing shot!
"Pretty!"
At the coach's bench, Mourinho suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.
Under his gaze, the ball clings to the left goal post and rolls into the goal.
"Goal!!!"
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!"
The two commentators shouted at the same time.
At 20 minutes into the game, Arsenal scored the first goal.
Lukaku was assisted by Lucky!
"Arsenal scored the first goal, and the Belgian center Lukaku helped Arsenal open the scoring. This player who was in a sluggish state throughout the European Cup and was widely criticized returned to the club. After returning to the club, he started his crazy state again!"
"We can now get a judgment that there is no problem with Lukaku's state in the European Cup, it's just that the team's tactics have not fully stimulated his ability!"
"Look at the cooperation between Kai and Lukaku!"
“The Belgian center has a midfield partner who understands him best at Arsenal!”
Lukaku in the stadium was also excited to celebrate by waving his arms.
The depression of the entire European Cup period was also vented at this moment.
He punched the camera vigorously, as if to say more.
‘Look! Not my problem! '
"Beautiful shot!"
Lucy also ran over with a smile.
Lukaku gave the latter a big hug.
"Beautiful pass! Captain!"
Lukaku does not deny that De Bruyne's passing in the national team is also very good, but the cooperation between him and De Bruyne is always a little tacit.
On the contrary, playing in the club is a feeling of completely letting go.
Lucky knows his running position and his favorite shot very well.
This also puts Lukaku in an extremely comfortable state for every shot.
Like this ball.
Lucky and Aubameyang's cross running not only completed the breakthrough, but also took away the defensive force Maguire.
Finally, Le Kai's kick pass was also extremely accurate.
Lukaku only needs to push the ball easily and shoot.
In this regard, many people will say that this shot has no technical content, but it has already run to this position and thrown away the defensive player, which is enough to show Lukaku's running without the ball.
Arsenal players celebrated wantonly on the field,
The fans also cheered fiercely.
From the start of the game, the performance of the Gunners made them feel extremely gratified.
And in the first game of the new season, Arsenal gave them a very reassuring feeling.
They still continued the excellent state of last season, and even became more popular.
"Guys! Keep this going, let's make another one!"
Lucky waved his hand.
The gunmen beside them immediately yelled in response.
At this moment, their morale is high.
They feel that no one can beat themselves in this state.
And this atmosphere also inspired the off-court substitutes.
Giroud sat on the bench, his feet couldn't help shaking.
After seeing this goal, he can't wait to play and complete his debut.
