Chapter 109: Reaching the League Cup Semi-Finals

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

The Champions League opponent is determined, Juventus is the top seed in Serie A, but Arsenal is not afraid.

Backed by their recent excellent record, they do not expect to lose to Juventus.

Even if Juventus has the bonus of Ronaldo.

The outside world also said the same thing. Even if Juventus has a single-arrow C drop, Argentine player Dybala's performance is also very good.

But after all, it is an individual ability, not transformed into a team.

Facing an Arsenal team with a strong team nature and a solid record, Juventus's chances of winning are really too small.

After the Champions League groupings were determined, Arsenal began to prepare for the league and EFL Cup.

On December 20, the English League Cup will usher in the quarter-finals.

Arsenal's opponent is Chelsea in the same city.

This draw is not very good, after all, there are many weaker teams.

But Arsenal fans at this time said that there was no problem with this draw.

They don't think Chelsea can pose a threat to them.

After playing against Manchester United, Arsenal played two more league games.

Still won two rounds.

They pushed the victory to 16 wins and 1 draw.

At home and away, Arsenal defeated Hadfield and Southampton respectively.

In the two games, Arsenal scored a total of 4 goals, not many goals, but they did not concede any goals.

After two games of 2:0, Arsenal still maintains a stable state.

What's more, Arsenal played in rotation in both games.

Arsenal's madness continues.

Moreover, during the rotation, the main players get enough rest, and they have no injuries or physical problems, so they can smoothly transition to the second half of the season.

Arsenal's form is so good that Dembe, who is far away in Spain, is secretly looking forward to the time when he comes to Arsenal.

He is still a transparent person in Barcelona and it is difficult to get opportunities from Valverde.

In Arsenal, a new environment, he believes that he can get more opportunities.

What's more, Arsenal's performance now is so amazing.

Nowadays, Dembe is thinking about how he can integrate into the Arsenal team every day and what he can bring to the team.

The more I think about it, the more excited I become, and the more excited I become, the more I look forward to it.

It can be said that Dembe is spending this period of time on his fingers. He hopes that the winter window will open as soon as possible and he will appear in London as soon as possible.

As for Arsenal, carrying the momentum of two victories, they once again came to the EFL Cup.

In the game against Chelsea, Arsenal once again showed terrifying suppression.

In less than ten minutes, Arsenal took the lead with Giroud's header.

"Girou!

Wonderful header! "

"David Luiz, he is completely unable to compete with Giroud, especially when it comes to headers. Of course, Odegaard's pass is also extremely clever, and it is worth the head of many opposing full-backs. It can be said that a slight difference makes a huge difference!”

"Arsenal's madness continues!"

Lucky watched Arsenal's performance from the sidelines and applauded gently.

In this game, Lekai takes a rest.

Kante and Giroud lead the team against Chelsea.

Of course, facing Chelsea, Mourinho did not dare to make large-scale substitutions.

Most of the main players are on the field, but the midfield position is composed of Odegaard, Ramsey and Kante.

But even so, Arsenal's defense is still rock solid.

In the field, as the game progressed, Arsenal played better and better.

The young player Odegaard also found the feeling of the game, and after experiencing the Manchester United game, he became more confident and calm.

Many times, Odegaard's passes are very hidden and unexpected.

Although he failed to pass the sharp through ball like Lucky, he still relied on his own ability to continuously deliver shells to the team.

In particular, there seems to be some strange tacit understanding between Odegaard and Giroud.

The cooperation between the two has become much better, and the team's offense has also become smoother.

"Odegaard is getting better and better!"

There was a hint of emotion in Wilshere's tone.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Wilshere thought of his state at that time, but he had to admit that Odegaard was getting better at this time.

"His weaknesses are the mental aspect and some lazy habits. After rectifying these, his own talents will be brought out. Look! He plays smoothly in the frontcourt."

Lucky smiled.

Seeing Odegaard's outstanding performance, Lucky was also happy, feeling like he had taught a good apprentice.

Of course, Lucky's training should be very simple and rough.

It is a one-on-one confrontation with Odegaard, but this can be regarded as the right medicine, which just makes up for Odegaard's shortcomings, and for this reason, his current performance has become very good.

But the only problem is that there seems to be some incompatibility between Odegaard and Aubameyang on the left.

For this reason, Odegaard will put more attacks on Mane on the right wing.

This also led to Aubameyang not liking Odegaard very much.

After all, no one likes someone who doesn't pass the ball to him.

Whenever Odegaard plays, Aubameyang's performance will plummet. Sometimes, he suspects that he has some conflict with Odegaard.

But this is purely a question of style of play.

The two players can't cooperate well, so Odegaard will naturally choose a better match.

In this regard, the forward is at a disadvantage.

After all, if you want to score a goal, you have to please the midfielder. Without the midfielder's pass, there is no goal.

On the other hand, Mane and Giroud performed well.

Odegaard is different from Lucky.

Lucky's advancement needs to be constantly pulled back and forth to achieve the effect.

Although this effect is very direct, it is far less than Odegaard's domineering and refreshing feeling of pressing the opponent to death.

Of course, Lucky was the same when he was young.

But with maturity and the formation of his own style of play, Lucky's playing style began to change.

In the second half, after Arsenal kicked off, they once again cooperated with Aubameyang through a long pass from Robertson.

As a full-back, Robertson's long passes on the offensive end are extremely accurate.

Sometimes, due to Lucky's presence, he will be more responsible for the forward insertion on the right, but there are few opportunities for long passes.

Now without Luka, Robertson can also join the attack directly.

And this long pass accurately hits the gap in Chelsea's backcourt, Aubameyang advances to the position and sweeps the ball horizontally.

Giroud follows up with a shovel shot and scores another goal.

Arsenal leads by two goals.

Giroud scores two goals alone!

After two goals, Arsenal began to make substitutions.

"Go up and stabilize the situation!"

Chelsea is still worried about the problem of falling behind, thinking about how to turn the situation around.

But suddenly there was a violent cheer in the stadium.

The cheers rushed to the sidelines.

They saw Luka and Saka standing on the sidelines.

Let's not talk about the latter for now, what does Luka mean?

They are still behind at this time, and Luka comes up now, so do they have to continue playing?

This is not giving anything at all!

Odegaard and Aubameyang leave the field.

Both of them have gained something, so they are still very satisfied.

When he came on the field, Saka pushed Luka with his arm.

When Lekai turned his head to look over, Saka smiled shyly, and the meaning was obvious.

‘Big Boss, I want to score! ’

Lekai couldn’t help laughing.

However, seeing Saka’s expression, Lekai still nodded, indicating that he would pass the ball if there was a chance.

After Lekai came on the court, Chelsea’s already compressed formation became even more difficult to maintain.

Lekai didn’t fight very hard. Just like Mourinho said, Lekai came on the court to run and pass the ball to stabilize the state.

But even so, Chelsea was enough.

When Lekai passed the ball diagonally to Saka.

Saka continued to cycle, dribbled past Chelsea’s full-back Alonso, then cut inside, pulled out the shooting space, and shot directly at a small angle.

The ball went into the net.

The two came on the court for just six minutes, and Saka scored.

The score was also widened to 3:

Now, Arsenal is a sure win.

Chelsea's resistance became less intense, and they were obviously aware of the problem that they were going to lose.

After 90 minutes, the whistle sounded to end the game.

Arsenal successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Chelsea was eliminated from the League Cup.

Now Arsenal only needs to play the home and away double round-robin semi-finals in January.

The League Cup final in February.

If they can beat their opponents, they will win the second championship trophy of the season after the Community Shield.
