Chapter 128: First Battle! Zebras!
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
"So fast!
"
"Too fast! Dembe and Aubameyang penetrated the opponent's defense!"
"Giroud's passing is also crucial!"
"This counterattack is too fast, much faster than before!"
Arsenal fans screamed.
This was the first time they saw Aubameyang and Dembele start a high-speed counterattack together.
It can only be said that even in the entire football world, the speed of this counterattack ranks among the best.
The most important thing is that not only the counterattack speed is fast, but also the transition is extremely smooth, without any lag at all.
Seeing this scene, Arsenal fans couldn't help but become interested.
At the same time, they also understand that they want to loan out Dembe, which may be to activate Aubameyang.
Of course, this is purely because the fans are overthinking it.
After all, Dembe was brought in as Aubameyang's substitute, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and the two people created a chemical reaction.
At the coaching bench, Mourinho nodded slightly in approval when he saw this counterattack.
He likes this kind of counterattack, which is simple and efficient, without giving the other party any time to react.
By the time they reacted, Arsenal had already scored.
Even Lucky on the bench was grinning slightly.
He used to bring himself into the game.
He is in the same position as Aubameyang.
As for counterattacks like this, facing Aubameyang who is running wildly without the ball, it can only be said that Lucky is more than willing but not strong enough.
He is totally unstoppable!
Or just ride on Aubameyang's back, but obviously this is a red card move.
It can be said that this high-speed counterattack is the most annoying counterattack system for Lucai.
Because he was completely unable to restrain himself and could only stare.
"I hate this kind of counterattack!"
Wilshere also grinned.
Lucky nodded: "But precisely because of this, this counterattack is extremely threatening."
Mane beside the two of them said nothing, his expression quite solemn.
Ever since Aubameyang and Dembe sparked sparks, his starting position has been challenged.
After all, if Dembe continues to perform like this and can even activate Aubameyang, Mane's position will be seriously challenged.
In the game, after Arsenal scored a goal, they did not relax their attack, but further strengthened it.
Aubameyang has kicked away.
He played very worryingly at Arsenal many times, and his ups and downs have troubled him for too long.
In a team like Arsenal, no progress equals regression.
Watching my teammates continue to improve one by one, and give full play to their own advantages and perform wonderfully.
Aubameyang was troubled by his condition, which hit him deeply.
From the 50 million parallel importer to the gunner with the least sense of existence at present, these are Aubameyang's titles.
Literally speaking, this is not a complimentary word, and occasionally Aubameyang will use it to laugh at himself.
But who doesn't want to perform well, but he has no way to control his state.
The arrival of Dembelay has further dealt a blow to his status in the team.
It can be said that Aubameyang almost really broke up with Arsenal.
This also made Aubameyang very resentful of Dembe, until they cooperated for the first time, and then gradually began to like this little brother.
Yes, the relationship between the two quickly heated up after they collaborated.
Aubameyang, who had previously ignored Dembe, quickly changed his face. He couldn't say he was licking it, but he still wanted to have a good relationship.
Dembe was also eager to perform, and the two hit it off.
Nowadays, the two of them come and go as a pair, which is great.
In less than a week, the friendship quickly heated up and reached the point of mutual sympathy.
And now, the cooperation between the two is based on this.
As Aubameyang and Dembe made breakthroughs again and again, Cardiff City's defense began to waver and was about to collapse.
In the 29th minute, Arsenal's three forwards passed five consecutive goals in the opponent's penalty area, and finally Dembe scored the ball.
This goal also completely announced that Cardiff City's defense collapsed.
After that, Arsenal's trident began to exert force. Under the unparalleled impact, Cardiff City was kicked to the ground.
They were already in the relegation zone in the standings, and now they are about to suffer another heavy blow.
By the end of the first half, Arsenal had a three-goal lead.
The Tridents each scored a goal, which ended perfectly.
"marvelous!"
After Aubameyang entered the locker room, he roared excitedly.
Behind him, Giroud hooked Dembe's arm and kept shouting.
The three of them had a great time playing.
Trident, everyone scored, it was perfect.
Mourinho also rarely praised them. After all, the three of them played really well.
Of course, there are some problems, but most of them are due to unskilled coordination. It will be better once the running-in is better.
This is something that cannot be rushed.
In the second half, the lineup remained unchanged. Cardiff City quickly collapsed under Arsenal's bombardment.
In the 56th minute, Xhaka scored with a corner kick and scored a goal.
And this goal also brought Arsenal's offense to an abrupt end.
Arsenal players still played very restrained.
They know that they cannot waste too much physical energy at this time.
After all, they will have a big battle with Juventus in three days.
The Champions League quarter-finals is much more difficult than this game.
Even Dembele slowed down a little. He was not completely without the opportunity to start, and he was secretly looking forward to it.
In the 70th minute, Mourinho made substitutions.
Mane, Lukay and Wilshere all played.
Their purpose of playing was to find their form and prepare for the Champions League three days later.
Lukay and others also played very relaxed. With a four-goal lead, they had almost no pressure.
In the end, the game ended 4:0.
After returning to the training base, Mourinho simply reviewed the game process.
He pointed out some problems in the frontcourt cooperation and the choice of counterattack timing.
In Mourinho's requirements, if Lukay is paired with this trident, their counterattack rate will be twice as fast.
Today's Arsenal counterattack is fast enough, but Mourinho is still not satisfied.
The head coach asked, and the players can only do it.
Of course, this does not need to be completed in a short period of time. The remaining three days of training are basically centered around the match against Juventus.
On the other hand, Juventus is also making tactical arrangements against Arsenal.
This season, Juventus has C Ronaldo joining, which makes their forward line stronger.
C Ronaldo, Mandzukic and Dybala have become Juventus' most advantageous offensive arrows.
In the midfield, Pjanic, Matuyindi and others also performed stably.
Chiellini and Bonucci in the back line stabilize the defense of the Zebra Army.
With this lineup, Juventus coach Allegri is confident to challenge Arsenal.
Allegri is now in great glory. He was selected as a candidate for the best coach of the 2017 Global Football.
In 2018, he won the Serie A Golden Bench Award (Best Coach) with the double championship.
It can be said that if there is a team in Serie A that challenges Arsenal's capital, it can only be Juventus.
For Allegri, he wants to rely on his own strong forward line to touch Arsenal.
In terms of tactics, Tottenham gave him some inspiration.
He may be able to copy Tottenham's tactics.
As a fulcrum, they have Mandzukic, who can create space for his teammates in the offense.
In terms of shooting, they have the top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who is capable of rewriting the results of any game.
Dybala can also provide a lot of help for their offensive advancement.
Tottenham failed to successfully interrupt Arsenal's winning streak.
Allegri believes that they have a chance to complete the job.
By then, both Allegri and Juventus will become the focus of the whole of Europe.
Just when Allegri was thinking about how to kill Arsenal, Arsenal had completed two days of training for them. They expected to go to the Italian city of Turin one day in advance, where they will face the Zebras Juventus.
At the same time, the media is also very hot about this game.
The Italian media believes that as the top seed of Serie A, Juventus has the ability to beat Arsenal.
Moreover, they believe that compared to Mourinho, in terms of defense, Italy has richer defensive capabilities based on traditional tactical concepts.
Therefore, Juventus has a certain advantage in the match against Arsenal!
And Allegri's task is to turn this advantage into a winning advantage!
