Chapter 18 Let Kai Complete the Key Pass

"Lekai!!! Long shot!!! Ah~~~ What a pity! There is more!! Suarez!! Got it!!!"

Zhan Jun shouted excitedly, and then said with admiration; "This long shot is of high quality!"

Zhang Lu also smiled and said; "The power is enough! It's just that he pursued the angle too much, otherwise this ball would have been there!"

"Lekai has made many more long shots this season, obviously with Wenger's tacit approval, but his first long shot goal has not appeared yet. Google search reading"

Zhan Jun nodded; "In the 34th minute, Suarez helped Arsenal score the first goal, and the scales of victory began to fall to the Gunners. Whether they can win the first round of the group stage depends on this game!"

In the Emirates Stadium, Suarez was also celebrating excitedly.

In the corner area, he hugged Lekai heavily.

"Hey! How did you appear there!"

Lekai remembered that Suarez's last position was in the middle, but after the long shot, this guy ran to the back point

In response, Suarez smiled and said, "Your long-range shot has a high probability of hitting the post. This is the fourth time this season, so I tried to run to the back point, but I didn't expect it to really hit the post!"

Lekai touched his nose awkwardly.

He was quite helpless about this.

In fact, Lekai's long-range shooting ability has been well practiced, but he just couldn't score in the game.

He scored a lot in the training match, but it was useless.

But no matter what, Lekai was happy to score.

They took the lead in the first half, which was a very good start.

When the coach came out, Patles and others were also cheering.

Wenger also smiled and applauded.

Although there are some minor flaws, it is already very good.

On the other side, Klopp frowned.

He didn't expect Arsenal to adopt a high-pressure tactics, especially Lekai's ability to steal and intercept, which seriously damaged the entire Dortmund system.

Klopp shook his head.

He couldn't put Hummels in the midfield to sweep.

A player like Luka, whose interception and tackling attributes are almost off the charts, is simply a killer in the midfield.

If he were in Dortmund, he would even dare to challenge Bayern Munich and once again pull Bayern off the throne.

After Arsenal scored, Dortmund's counterattack became more fierce.

Especially in the process of pressing, their strength increased a lot.

Luka returned to the backcourt again. Although Arsenal's high-pressure pressing was good, it could not be used frequently.

Luka's position was in the back waist, and his attack needed someone to fill in.

Moreover, Luka's interception and tackling did not always work. Once Dortmund seized the opportunity and caught them off guard, Arsenal wanted to make up for it.

This is a small strategy, but it cannot be a tactic.

In most cases, Luka still needs to retreat to his position.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Arteta and Luka double-teamed Mkhitaryan in the midfield.

Mkhitaryan is very fast, but when Arteta first blocked the main position, Luka arrived in time to complete the interception.

But as soon as Luka got the ball, he was pressed by Dortmund.

This is also a microcosm of Klopp's entire Dortmund system.

Excellent anticipation allowed Reus and Sahin to quickly block Luka's passing position, and Mkhitaryan was behind him to counter-steal.

Luka wanted to pass the ball, but he couldn't find a chance at all.

In the end, he was reasonably knocked down by Mkhitaryan and Reus.

Luka sat on the ground, shook his head and sighed.

Finally, he didn't lose the ball, which was good enough.

On the other hand, when Reus looked at Luka, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

In this game, he was very depressed by Luka's defense, and he felt good to have the opportunity to knock Luka down.

After Arsenal's set piece was issued, the referee quickly blew the whistle for the halftime break.

After 45 minutes of the game, Arsenal led Dortmund 1:0 temporarily.

The players of both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

In Arsenal's locker room, Wenger did not change the tactical policy, and the second half continued the play style of the first half.

At the same time, he also praised the Arsenal players for their performance in the first half.

Throughout the first half, Arsenal players implemented the tactics and various strategies very well.

At the same time, they also scored a goal.

Wenger's pre-match arrangements were perfectly completed.

On the other side, Dortmund made some small changes.

Mkhitaryan and Reus swapped positions.

Klopp hopes that Mkhitaryan can rely on his speed to compete with Lukay.

Reus took over Mkhitaryan's organizational work in the frontcourt.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Dortmund showed extremely superb tactical execution.

Since Lukay couldn't get through, they tricked Lukay into a defensive area and then went around.

In this case, no matter how fast Lukay ran, could he run faster than the pass?

At the same time, Mkhitaryan also began to show his power.

He retreated to receive the ball, and then used his speed to attack Lekai's defensive route again and again.

I have to say that this reckless approach is quite restraining to Lekai.

Lekai is not afraid of any technical moves, he can predict them all.

But in terms of the absolute physical attribute gap, this cannot be made up.

For example, absolute strength or absolute speed.

Mkhitaryan's speed gave Lucai a headache.

Lucky's explosive power is very good, but not fast.

These are two different fields and cannot be generalized.

For this reason, the duel between him and Mkhitaryan often occurs in those few seconds.

In those few seconds, Lucky restricted Mkhitaryan and contained Dortmund's offense. On the other hand, once he failed to restrict the opponent, Lucky had nothing to do.

Therefore, Lucky needs to constantly foresee and at the same time constantly observe the opponent's player movements, which is obviously extremely energy-consuming.

In this case, Dortmund's offense became more and more fierce.

Until the 57th minute, Dortmund deceived Lucky to the left wing, and then transferred a long pass to attack from the right wing.

After four consecutive passes, Lewandowski used a half-turn pass to pass the ball to Royce who was advancing.

Royce scored with a pick!

In the second half, Dortmund equalized the score.

Looking at Dortmund's celebrating players, Lucky stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly.

So, football is not a one-person sport.

Once Lucky is targeted and restricted, Arsenal's defense will be in trouble.

Just like this time, Klopp took the right medicine and Arsenal failed to resist Dortmund's attack.

Wenger's expression was also slightly solemn, and he turned around and shouted; "Thomas, go warm up!"

Rosicky immediately stood up to warm up.

Patrice said; "We need to strengthen the control of the midfield?"

Wenger said: "It is to strengthen the ground coordination. Rosicky, Wilshere, Kai, Cazorla, Arteta and Suarez are enough!"

Patrice was stunned for a moment, as if something strange had slipped into the room.

After Rosicky's warm-up was over, Wenger put his arm around his opponent's shoulders and said, "Your task is to cooperate with your teammates to control the ball and strengthen your ground attack capabilities!"

Rosicky nodded, he had expected this.

But Wenger's words clearly did not end there.

"Tell Kai after you go up and ask him to pass more key passes forward!"

Rosicky was stunned for a moment.

"Let Kai pass the key pass?"

Wenger said: "Is there any problem?"

Rosicky shook his head quickly. At Arsenal, Wenger's tactical arrangements cannot be questioned.

"Understood!"

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Arsenal took the lead in making substitutions.

Walcott goes off, Rosicky comes on!

After Rosicky came on the court, he went straight to Lucky.

"You want me to pass the key pass?" Lucky was stunned for a moment and asked.

There are Cazorla, Wilshere, Arteta and Rosicky on the field. No matter how you look at it, you can’t get your turn, right?

Rosicky said; "The professor asked me to tell you, think carefully about how you played football last season."

After a pause, he added; "After 20 rounds!"

Lucky blinked.

He seemed to understand what Wenger meant.

After 20 rounds last season, Arsenal's midfield collapsed.

Lucky had no choice but to be both a mother and a father, carrying the team forward.

It can be said that at that time Lucai was very good at defense and offense, and he did all the good and dirty work!

However, after this season, he stopped playing like that.

Very simple reason.

Last season, the midfielder lacked the ball-playing ability, so he had to do this job.

This season, Arsenal has all the main players, so he will focus on defense.

However, the professor obviously hopes to play more like last season.

Thinking of this, Lucai couldn't help but lick his lips, feeling faintly excited.

This means that his tactical status at Arsenal has increased.

Mainly catches key passes.

This means you have to listen to him when attacking!

The game starts again.

After Dortmund scored, they did not show any intention to defend. Klopp still seemed to want to expand the score.

This also made the Arsenal fans at the scene slightly angry.

They turned their attention to the court. After Rosicky came on, Arsenal's midfield became more stable.

And with the addition of multiple ball-holding points, passing and control have become more stable.

Lucky's performance was also extremely active.

He often intersperses in the passing and controlling system, of course, mainly with one touch of the ball.

But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Lucky seems to come forward more frequently.

Although every time he retreats after releasing the ball.

But he would always run a few steps forward, switch positions with Arteta from time to time, and start to touch the ball more frequently.
