Strong Waist

Giroud's appearance was accompanied by major changes in Arsenal's tactical play.

From the previous defensive counterattack to the type of active attack.

Giroud's fulcrum role in the frontcourt requires the support of midfielders, which also requires Arsenal to carry out a more intense press in the midfield.

This tactic is somewhat similar to Tottenham Hotspur, but compared to Tottenham, Arsenal are new to this style of play after all, so the model and scale are simpler.

However, this is still in the stage of exploration. Once it is stabilized, other combinations derived from it can be instantly enriched.

Giroud trotted to the front position, surrounded by opposing players, which is also the place he is most familiar with.

How to effectively serve teammates or shoot directly in a limited space is the biggest challenge for a center forward.

In the past period of training, Giroud's run-in with Arsenal was pretty good, and he is now appearing on the field to verify this.

With Giroud's appearance, Arsenal's coaches are also sitting upright, picking up the notebooks in their hands one by one. Their task is to record various data.

After glancing at Giroud, Le Kai shouted towards the frontcourt; "Take your time at the beginning and get used to the rhythm of the game!"

Lucky is obviously shouting at Giroud, he is afraid that Giroud will be too impatient because of being too excited.

Giroud is also very experienced in this regard.

He nodded to Le Kai in response, and immediately withdrew from the restricted area.

Arsenal's throw-in kick, Giroud's withdrawal from the penalty area made Leicester City's players a little uncomfortable.

Mainly after adapting to Lukaku's battering hammer mode in the penalty area, they will face another style of center forward.

Giroud obviously won't play like Lukaku.

After seeing Giroud's action, Lucky passed the ball back to the defense.

Arsenal's overall defense also began to press forward a little bit.

Even the central defender frequently looks forward when scoring a goal.

Due to the front of the defender and the retreat of the center, Arsenal's overall position is relatively flat, shortening the distance between the defender and the center, and they can directly form linkage.

Of course, this position is always changing, and sometimes it will be elongated.

But every time there was a point of contact, Hummels and Jimenez looked up.

But in most cases, it is Hummels who performs this type of operation. After all, compared to Jimenez, the former is better at delivering the ball.

At the same time, Wilshere also frequently turned his head to observe.

In the entire Arsenal formation, except for Lucky and Kanter, whose playing styles have not changed, the movements and running of the rest have changed.

And this change also made Leicester City feel a little uneasy.

Arsenal at this time feels like a tightened arrow string, ready to shoot a fatal arrow at any time.

However, they don't know how to implement it.

They also don't know how to deal with Giroud who frequently retreats and moves back and forth.

Chasing out or standing still?

Under Arsenal's tactical change, Leicester City's defense became more and more anxious.

"Arsenal's passing distance is very deep and decisive, and they frequently push forward. Under this circumstance, Leicester City's defense has also become more frequent. Rue didn't touch the ball, but every drop he made affected Leicester's defense and we can expect what kind of game Giroud will play!"

On-site commentator George Adams is still very optimistic about Giroud.

Fans who have watched the European Cup will know Giroud's position in the French team and his style of play.

Many Arsenal fans have grafted it into the Arsenal squad.

And compared to the French team, they are confident that Arsenal's midfield lineup is stronger.

With the support provided by Lucky and others, what kind of game Giroud will play is really exciting.

But what they don't know is that Giroud's performance will not be linked to Lucky.

There is no tactical cooperation between the two for the time being.

More closely linked to Giroud is Wilshere.

At this time, Wilshere was constantly observing, and through repeated trials, they had already made Leicester City's defense even more uneasy.

What Arsenal need to do now is to look for a one-hit chance to kill in this anxiety.

Thinking of this, Wilshere raised his hand to ask for the ball, and then began to pass it to Giroud frequently.

Giroud didn't know why, but he still divided the ball towards the two wings.

As long as Giroud retreats, the two wings will have a chance to break through.

But Leicester City can always block quickly.

But under the impact again and again, the pressure on Leicester City is also increasing day by day.

"We can't go on like this!"

"Don't let him keep passing the ball!"

Maguire couldn't help shouting.

They cannot put danger at the back.

Giroud split sides again and again. Although he failed to pose a threat, no one can guarantee that the next goal will still be the same.

Arsenal's touch point is too deep, which is not a good thing for Leicester City.

Soon, when Giroud retreats, Maguire will also follow up and restrict.

The other central defender will be more centered, on the one hand to expand the defensive area, and on the other hand to make up for it.

But Maguire also made plans to prevent Giroud from turning around and hitting the goal directly.

Seeing the changes in the entire Leicester City, Wilshere feels that the opportunity has come.

This time, Hummels received a return pass, and Leicester City did not step forward to press, which also allowed Hummels to observe better.

When he was observing, he found that Wilshere gave way a little bit, and this position just connected to the neutral left by Wilshere.

Meanwhile, Hummels makes eye contact with Giroud.

The two act almost simultaneously.

Hummels passed the ball towards the neutral, and Giroud suddenly started to retreat!

Giroud's retreat triggered a quick response from the entire Leicester City defense.

Maguire is caught up to carry the limit.

The ball is about to pass to Giroud.

Maguire posted it suddenly.

"Don't even think about turning around!"

Maguire's thinking is very simple, as long as the opponent is forced to pass the ball towards the two wings, with full-backs guarding both sides, Leicester City can also defend.

But at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from behind.

"Harry! Watch out!"

Beware of what?

Maguire didn't understand.

In the next second, he saw Giroud flashing his instep to the right facing the ball.

The ball flew close to the two of them and flew to the rear side.

At the same time, a figure quickly passed by the two of them.

Maguire's eyes widened.

Wilshere galloped to catch up with the ball, and he stepped directly into the penalty area.

At this time, Leicester City's defense is also belated.

Instantly became tense.

Maguire did not retreat in time, and the two full-backs had to be wary of the winger, so the remaining central defender Morgan could only restrict it.

"I come!"

Morgan rushed to Wilshere, but didn't wait for him to get close.

Wilshere kicks the ball towards where he was before.

Morgan turned his head and saw that there was no one there, and Giroud suddenly stepped forward.

Behind him, Maguire was nearly three positions behind.

"Arsenal!!! Chance!!!!"

"Jirou!!!!!!!!!"

The commentators stood up in surprise.

Mourinho off the court also stood up suddenly, with a look of expectation on his face.

Giroud faced the goalkeeper directly, his expression was extremely calm, and he pushed a contra-angle against the ball.

The goalkeeper's center of gravity has always been on the left side, and he wanted to forcefully move to the right side, but before he moved over, the ball had already entered the net.

In the first minute, Giroud received a pass from Wilshere, and the two completed a wonderful cooperation to expand the score again.

"Pretty!!!--"

Mourinho shook his fist excitedly.

Even happier than the previous two goals.

Giroud's goal means that there is no problem with Arsenal's tactics. This center forward retreat tactic directly connects the front-middle-backcourt.

Hummels launched an attack, Giroud retreated to make the ball, and Wilshere took advantage of the situation to advance.

In the end, Giroud turned around and opened up with Maguire relying on his agility, received Wilshere's ball and scored easily.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and the offensive process also directly tore a big hole in Leicester City's defense.

And Giroud also completed his debut and first goal to join Arsenal!

It can be said that this goal is perfect!

Tactics a complete success!

Signing up gets effect, too!

All parties are satisfied and happy.

The only one who is unhappy is Lukaku!

Lukaku looked depressed. Although he scored, Giroud also scored.

This means that his main force position is still not stable enough.
