Strong Waist

Chapter 17 High pressure

North London, Emirates Stadium.

The entire Emirates Stadium was illuminated with translucent lights, and under the night, the hot atmosphere seemed to overturn the entire game scene.

The Champions League games are almost always played in the middle of the week, so considering the needs of fans and the viewing experience, they will be played in the evening.

This satisfies the fans who can come to watch the game after get off work or after school.

Even midweek, Arsenal fans were still extremely enthusiastic.

The cheers at the scene continued for a long time.

They looked at the gunners who were constantly attacking Dortmund in the arena and sent waves of cheers.

"Arsenal's attacking will is very strong, obviously the Gunners are going to win this game at home!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

At this point, the game has gone to 20 minutes, in this 20 minutes, Arsenal has had 4 shots, almost every five minutes.

This frequency also puts a lot of defensive pressure on Dortmund.

But the problem is that the Gunners have been unable to penetrate Dortmund's defense, a large part of which is due to the opponent's central defender Hummels.

Borussia Dortmund's defense is extremely solid, and even as Arsenal's attack goes on in waves, they still show an extraordinary consistency.

The ball was passed back, and after Le Kai received the ball, he directly passed it to Arteta with a touch, and the latter also quickly made the move.

Arsenal almost always use a quick touch to build a pass system.

Le Kai is also observing Dortmund's movement while running.

It has to be said that Dortmund's high pressing puts great pressure on their midfielders.

Le Kai no longer dared to hold the ball in the midfield. As long as the ball sticks for more than two seconds, these wolves like tigers will quickly come over to press you for a while.

Although Lucky's ability to hold the ball has improved a lot, he is still unable to resist this level of pressing.

Therefore, the best way is to play the ball!

I have to say, high-level pressing is really annoying!

When playing in the league, Le Kai will not be disturbed too much when he holds the ball in the backcourt, which also gives him enough space to observe the ball.

But Bumblebee won't give you this time at all, it's the first time to run over to fight!

Forwards and midfielders poured in from all directions.

Under this kind of pressure, Lucky can only play the ball quickly.

Fortunately, Arsenal's pass-and-control system wasn't completely broken.

To reinforce the traditional system, Wenger placed Wilshere on the right wing.

With the support of three highly skilled players, Cazorla, Wilshere and Arteta, Arsenal's pass control system can run smoothly.

However, the trouble remains!

The pace is getting faster and faster!

Lucky narrowed his eyes slightly.

This rhythm is not deliberately stopped by Arsenal, but a feeling of being chased by Dortmund.

The most stable transmission and control is naturally enough time, enough field width and various movement coordination.

But it's hard for Arsenal to do that now.

Because, the bumblebee is chasing them behind!

Sure enough, in 23 minutes, Arsenal conceded the ball.

Under the pressure of pressing, Cazorla passed the ball a little less forcefully.

This moment was accurately grasped by Dortmund, Shaheen took the initiative to stick Walcott, and with the help of Mkhitaryan, the two managed to steal the ball reasonably.

Le Kai's expression became solemn, turned to look at Lewandowski and Royce, leaned a little to the left, and prepared to act.

After Klopp's Dortmund steals, the first situation is to start a counterattack.

So did Shaheen, a short pass to Royce.

Reus is catching the ball sideways, trying to get a quick start.

But at this time, someone had already stood in front of him.

"Dortmund finished stealing the ball, they are going to counterattack, Reus has the ball, oh~~~ Kai! He appeared in front of Reus in time!"

Arsenal fans' eyes lit up.

From the initial panic, my heart became a little calmer.

Dortmund have a solid defense!

But Arsenal's midfield also has a wall!

Lucky stared at Royce eagerly.

Royce could only slow down under the pressure of Lucky.

But Reus's heart is anxious, because Arsenal's players have begun to retreat.

He has to do something.

He first glanced at Lewandowski, the opponent's position was not good!

At this point, he has two options.

Or pass the ball to a teammate who runs forward!

Or do it yourself!

Thinking of this, Royce's body was slightly deflected to one side, which was not large, but Lucky grasped it accurately, quickly attached it, and blocked the angle of his passing.

"Shit!"

Royce cursed secretly.

Now there is only one last option left.

Do it yourself!

Royce tried to squeeze out a bit of space against Lucky, but the two were not of the same order of magnitude, and the space was not squeezed out, but instead he was pushed back.

At this time, Reus suddenly pulled the ball back.

He wants to make Lucky lose his focus.

But Lucky's actions were beyond his expectations.

The moment he pulled the ball, Le Kai started like a cheetah, and attacked decisively with his right foot.

Lucky could feel his toes touching the ball, which made him happy.

The ball was kicked off the sideline by Lucky.

Royce shook his head helplessly.

On the other hand, Le Kai straightened up and shouted loudly to his teammates to retreat quickly.

"Royce! He shouldn't do it alone! He should pass the ball."

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head.

In this regard, his partner Richard said; "He can't pass, in fact, Royce was ready to pass the ball at first, but Kai seemed to have insight into all this at that moment, and quickly chose to grab it and block it. No passing space! He's forcing Reus to play him heads-up!"

"After the start of the season, Kay's defensive stats have become even more flamboyant, he's been passed very rarely, he's been covering the entire midfield area, as Arsenal fans say. , he is a wall!"

The Arsenal fans at the scene gave warm applause.

Although this is not the first time, they always give applause every time Le Kai completes a steal or block.

They know very well that the presence of Luckey makes Arsenal's defense more solid.

Yes!

Dortmund is very strong now!

But so what?

They are gunmen!

They are Arsenal!

Let the horses come!

The game has continued, and the offense of both teams has been hindered to varying degrees.

Hummels in Dortmund.

Arsenal's Lucky!

The performance of these two is simply amazing!

A frantic sweep at the back line!

A deadly sniper interception and steal in the midfield!

At this moment, on the contrary, it made those forwards become the background plate, eclipsed!

But Arsenal are clearly not content with that.

At 30 minutes, Le Kai actually stepped out of the half.

He is no longer satisfied with interceptions in the backcourt.

The 30-minute game time proved that it didn't make any difference.

Arsenal need some changes!

After Le Kai stepped into the opponent's half, his feet began to move frantically, rampaging in the opponent's half.

Of course, his main sweep area is near the front of the center circle.

But it also puts Dortmund under pressure.

"start running!"

"Go grab it!!"

"Don't give them a chance to breathe!"

Le Kai's active movement drove his teammates, and the Gunners began to swept away frantically in the frontcourt at this moment.

On the sidelines, Wenger showed a smile, and he turned to look at the coaching bench on the other side.

His eyes were on Klopp.

You are not the only ones who can use high-level pressing!

Lucky, Cazorla, Suarez, Walcott, Wilshere, and Arteta all joined the pressing session.

The six people continued to block forward, move to make up defenses, and cooperated extremely well.

In this case, Dortmund was a little bit unbearable.

They have absolutely no room to pass forward.

Wenger used Wilshere, Cazorla and Arteta to stabilize the midfield.

But Dortmund is clearly extremely weak in this regard.

Especially when the ball was passed back to the two defensive midfielders Shaheen and Sven Bender, Arsenal's pressing became more intense.

Reus received the ball hastily. He wanted to look up to find his teammates, but there was a sudden pressure behind him.

He had to choose to pass the ball!

At this time, Le Kai wiped directly from Royce's side and charged towards Mkhitaryan.

Chase and intercept again and again!

Repeated sweeps made Dortmund passive.

And Lucky is also looking for opportunities in this fast pace.

Suddenly, he turned around and charged towards Royce again.

At this time, Shaheen hurriedly passed the ball under the pressure of Suarez.

The ball is not strong enough, and the speed is not fast.

Royce groaned in his heart.

Just about to start with your feet, catch the ball forward.

But the side felt a gust of wind swept through.

In the next second, a red and white figure fell to the ground with a sliding shovel and directly intercepted the ball and kicked it to Cazorla!

"Kai!!! Frontcourt interception!!!"

On-site commentator George Adams roared.

At this point, Dortmund's formation was a bit chaotic, and the ball was at Cazorla's feet.

After Cazorla held the ball, he directly crossed the opponent's two midfielders and approached the penalty area.

At the same time, Suarez and Walcott also surrounded him.

At this moment, Dortmund's defense is in a hurry.

Hummels forced himself to calm down, observed the movement of his teammates and the two Arsenal forwards from the corner of his eye, and took the initiative to find Cazorla.

He blocked Cazorla's passing path and released the side channel, apparently to let Cazorla go it alone.

But Cazorla came to a sudden stop.

Hummels also moved quickly.

The next second, Cazorla raised his left foot slightly and slowly moved the ball to the left about three meters away.

The ball made Hummels stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, a figure broke into the line of sight.

Le Kai hurriedly stepped forward, facing Cazorla's goal with a furious shot.

"Kay!!! Shoot!!"

On-site commentator George Adams roared.

The Arsenal fans at the scene raised their butts and craned their necks to look at the goal.

This is near the line of the penalty area, his teammates have helped him attract the defensive force, and the goal is in front of him!

Le Kai didn't adjust, he swung his left foot, and rubbed the ball hard with the outer instep.

The ball hit the goal with a weird arc, as if it was not aimed at the goal.

But under the rotation of the ball, it was pulled back abruptly.

Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller hurried forward.

But he failed to touch the ball.

Just when he was desperate, there was a ding.

The ball bounced off the goal post.

Lucky was also annoyed and wanted to hug his head.

In a hurry, Dortmund defender Subotic wanted to make a clearance.

But he stretched his legs and couldn't touch the ball.

Watching the ball fly to the left.

And in that place, Suarez appeared out of nowhere!

His waist is straight and straight, his eyes are fixed on the ball, and there is a slight forward movement.

The ball slowly flew into the empty goal and entered the net with a swish!

34 minutes, Arsenal ushered in the first goal at home!
