Chapter 169： Hot Premier League

Chapter 169 Hot Premier League

Arsenal is actively preparing for the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and has entered the battle for points in the league. The entire Premier League is extremely lively.

After entering the battle for points, the 'old six' in the Premier League all jumped out.

First of all, when West Ham United played against Chelsea on the road, they put up an iron barrel formation. With the superb performance of the goalkeeper, they were stunned to draw Chelsea on the road.

Mourinho lost to his proud defensive side.

Followed by Arsenal's visit to Southampton, the other side also put up a steel barrel formation, but obviously did not get the essence. After Arsenal's crazy attack, they finally scored in 61 minutes.

At 75 minutes, Arsenal made a substitution.

Lekai and Mertesacker went off, Arteta and Mustafi came on.

This is also Mustafi's first Premier League debut.

But his debut was bad.

Watching Arsenal's defensive gate come off, Southampton changed their previous tortoise shell tactics and launched a frantic attack in the remaining 15 minutes.

Leng relied on repeated long passes to slam the ball into Arsenal's goal.

Although Arsenal relied on Cazorla's dribbling, they quickly took the lead again.

But Southampton seemed to be tireless, and for the rest of the time, they kept hitting Arsenal's penalty area.

Finally in overtime, fullback Luke Shaw staged a solo ride, and a crazy breakthrough on the wing assisted Gallagher to complete the equalizer.

In this game, Southampton 2:2 Arsenal, the two sides tied.

Arsenal was depressed. They didn’t expect that Southampton would put their strength on so late, as if they were looking at the opportunity for Lucky to end the game.

And the aggressiveness of the offensive advance, they also had to obey.

Arsenal never expected the force at this point in time. It is worthy of the name of the 'old six', and it is insidious.

After learning this lesson, Wenger adjusted the time of Lekai's end a bit later, and rest must be rested. In order to face the Champions League knockout, Lekai's state needs to be guaranteed enough.

In this case, Arsenal also successfully won the game.

Arsenal 2:0 Crystal Palace, won the 24th round and won the precious three points.

But in the next game, Arsenal were in trouble again.

Liverpool vs Arsenal!

After entering the second half of the schedule, Liverpool's state was unstable, losing to Chelsea and Manchester City respectively.

But when they were playing Arsenal, the guys felt like they were going to explode for some reason.

Sterling is no longer blind.

Sturridge also became efficient.

Coutinho is even more brave.

Gerrard in the back was causing great trouble for Arsenal.

Although Arsenal's defense is still strong, there seems to be a tacit understanding on both sides, and the rhythm is frantically accelerated.

In the whole 90 minutes, both sides kicked a total of 39 shots.

Almost every 2-3 minutes has a shot.

However, compared to the number of shots, the goals on both sides were very few.

Arsenal 1:1 Liverpool, the two sides are tied again!

In three consecutive rounds, Arsenal won 1 win and 2 draws.

Fortunately, Chelsea also drew a game, and the points will not expand again.

But Arsenal still can't relax.

In the 26th round of the Premier League, they are going to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

Although Manchester United's performance this season is terrible, the team is in chaos, and the contradictions between Moyes and the players, fans, and senior management are constantly being exposed.

But even so, Arsenal cannot take it lightly.

After all, Liverpool is a lesson in front of us. In the face of these giant clubs, their explosiveness and resilience in key games are amazing.

2014, February 13, Manchester City, Old Trafford.

There was an exclamation from the scene!

"Kai! Long shot!"

At the beginning of the second half, Le Kai tried a long shot near the penalty area line.

This is a rubbing ball with the left arch of the right foot. When the ball flies to the goal, it has a rapid fall, commonly known as the falling leaf ball.

But De Gea is in a very brave state. He has a good rhythm of flying, and he just got stuck at the time when the ball was falling and lifted the ball out of the baseline.

"Ah~~~~!!"

Seeing this scene, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu both sighed regretfully holding their heads in the live broadcast room of Sina Sports.

"What a beautiful fallen ball! De Gea! He is in excellent form! Of course, Le Kai played very well in this game. When the team was unable to send the ball to the goal, he came When we get to the perimeter, we try a long shot, and the quality of this long shot shows that Manchester United can't ignore the existence of Luckey!"

Zhang Lu nodded and said; "Manchester United's defense will become more dizzy. They have to guard in the penalty area, and they have to watch Le Kai outside the penalty area."

In the arena, Le Kai stood near the line of the penalty area and shook his head with his waist on.

This shot felt very good, but it was saved by De Gea.

If we can score goals, the game will not be so difficult.

But the impact of this long shot is still there.

For example, De Gea has already started to roar.

"Look at him! Look at him! Don't let him get up!"

He didn't think he could make the save just now. If Lucky made a few more long shots, he wasn't sure he could stop it!

Manchester United's side is extremely annoyed.

Arsenal's corner.

Cazorla stood in the corner on the left and pointed a finger forward, the Arsenal players understood.

The    whistle sounded.

Suarez suddenly rushed out of the penalty area and ran towards the corner.

This made Manchester United full-back Rafael hesitate, and he stayed on the defensive to be conservative.

Suarez rushed out of the penalty area on the side, Cazorla passed the ball to Suarez and rushed towards the middle.

And Suarez also gave the ball to Cazorla.

Now Manchester United's defenders reacted and immediately sprinted forward to block.

But after receiving the ball, Cazorla immediately gave it to Le Kai, who was standing outside the penalty area.

Seeing Lucky holding the ball, the Manchester United players were attracted by Lucky, turned their heads and rushed towards Lucky again.

At this time, Cazorla ran laterally to avoid offside.

Until Le Kai kicked up, he suddenly rushed towards the penalty area at 90 degrees.

Le Kai picked up a pass, and saw the ball passed over the rushing Manchester United players and came to the goal post on the left.

And here, Cazorla has already taken off.

De Gea burst into the left and wanted to block.

But Cazorla twisted his body in the air and passed the ball to the middle.

The ball went over the Manchester United centre-back Smalling and came to the middle.

Mertesacker completed the jump, faced the empty goal, and easily completed the goal!

"Cazorla passes to Suarez, Arsenal's tactical corner kick! Suarez returns Cazorla, Cazorla gives Lucky! Lucky picks the ball! Cazorla looks back at the moon! Mertesacker! Got it!! —"

"Goal!!—"

"Beautiful tactical corner kick!"

Zhan Jun patted the table excitedly.

This tactical corner kick is textbook level.

Perfectly explored the movement of Manchester United's backline and created a favorable situation.

Finally, Mertesacker scored the key goal!

This is Mertesacker's third goal in the last five games.

This Arsenal high school defender has developed a new role not only on the defensive end but also on the offensive end.

Arsenal's players looked excited.

They surround Mertesacker!

"Third goal! Hey! Man, you have more goals than Rosicky!"

Cazorla shouted with a laugh.

Mertesacker was also smiling happily.

Three goals not only made his state gradually hot, but even his self-confidence continued to rise.

"Nice job!"

Lucky couldn't help too, he kept rubbing Mertesacker's head, admiring the other party's performance.

And in the coaching bench, Wenger also kept applauding.

At the beginning, when he bought Mertesacker, he also considered developing the header ability of this high school defender.

But because of the instability of the back line, it has been shelved.

And in the last few games, Mertesacker's performance has made him extremely satisfied.

Arsenal's players are very happy, only Mustafi's expression on the bench is a little dignified.

He is in competition with Mertesacker, and the latter's excellent performance puts a lot of pressure on him.

Plus, his poor debut.

Although the professor said nothing and promised to keep giving himself opportunities, Mustafi still felt extremely urgent.

In addition to Mustafi, Flamini's expression is also extremely complicated.

He applauded and looked at Lucky in the arena.

Now, when I think back to what I said in the locker room, I can't help but panic.

Lucky's performance is great!

is beyond description.

Fortunately, he and Ramsey have become rotation positions and are no longer in the bench for Lekai. Otherwise, he thinks it would be more reliable to consider a transfer to compete with Lekai with this performance.

As for the No. 4 shirt?

Flamini was completely out of ideas.

In just half a season, he has been completely conquered by Lucky.

There is even a faint sense of identity in his heart that he should wear the Arsenal No. 4 shirt.

Yes!

He is the leader of Arsenal!
