Chapter 16 Visitors to the Stands

"Ah~ ahem! Lekai's tackle was really beautiful!"

Zhan Jun's disappointed voice was only halfway through when he immediately changed his tone to praise Lekai.

Zhang Lu, who was standing by, glanced at Zhan Jun and said with a smile in his eyes: "Liverpool's attack this time was very decisive, especially the connection between Henderson and Chen Man, which almost broke Arsenal's defense. If it weren't for Lekai's quick reaction, Arsenal's goal would have been lost!"

Zhan Jun nodded and said; "Lekai is still very stable at this point. Arsenal should be careful of Liverpool's right wing!"

Arsenal must of course be careful of Liverpool's right wing, but for this reason, they cannot relax their defense on the left wing.

After all, Coutinho's threat is the biggest.

The game resumed. After kicking off, Liverpool did not retreat, but looked for opportunities in the frontcourt.

But they did not dare to press too much forward, after all, Lekai was standing near the penalty area line, staring at him.

They also had a long-term understanding of Lekai's ability to steal and intercept.

But Liverpool paid too much attention to Lukay and ignored Kante.

Bang!

Chamberlain took the ball and launched an attack from the right wing, but he was intercepted by Kante who came out from behind after only two steps.

The ball came to Lukay's feet.

Chamberlain hurriedly stood up to counter-grab, and Lukay immediately passed the ball.

Wilshere also passed the ball back with a pass.

Coutinho continued to chase the ball, but Chambers passed it to Lukay again from the gap.

Lukay pulled the ball and turned around, and then continued to pass the ball.

Arsenal started to pass the ball continuously in the backcourt and gradually stabilized the situation.

In fact, Liverpool's frontcourt pressing seems fierce, but the current position has not yet formed a system.

That is, the siege momentum has not been formed.

The reason why Arsenal's pressing was sharp last season was that Arsenal was not only good at high-position pressing, but also a system as a whole.

Everyone was not reckless when pressing forward, they all had their own cooperation.

Pressing is not the goal!

Surrounding is the key.

How to beat fewer with more players and ensure the advantage in numbers is the key to pressing.

But it is obvious that Liverpool has not yet fully understood Klopp's tactics. Some players are always one step slower, which also makes the whole system difficult to play.

And this kind of dry pressing is not a big threat to a team like Arsenal with excellent footwork.

In passing again and again, Lekai gradually stabilized the situation.

And cast his eyes on the opponent's half.

Liverpool's position seems loose, but it is wary of Arsenal players' forward insertion, which also prevents Lekai from using long passes to create opportunities.

Press forward!

Lekai immediately moved forward.

But he had just taken two steps when Chamberlain and Chen Man surrounded him.

The two rushed straight to Lekai to press.

In response, Lekai flicked the ball horizontally and held Chen Man with his shoulder. After pulling away from Chamberlain, he suddenly knocked Chen Man down with his shoulder and walked away.

Chen Man was knocked to the ground. In the confusion, he seemed to hear Lekai say again

"Welcome to the Premier League! Rookie!"

Chen Man's face immediately turned red.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Chen Man stood up suddenly and ran at full speed to catch up with Lekai again.

But at this time, Lekai had already passed the ball.

Chen Man stared at Lekai angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

"The physical confrontation in the Premier League makes Chen Man a little overwhelmed, especially when facing a player like Lekai who is particularly good at using his body, he is even more at a disadvantage."

Zhan Jun shook his head and said: "The most important thing for Chen Man at present is to train his body, at least to withstand Lekai's impact."

Chen Man's body is too thin.

This kind of body is okay in the Portuguese Super League.

But after coming to the Premier League, those Premier League sweepers or iron guards can make him doubt his life.

Just like Lekai, he speaks directly with his body and is completely unreasonable.

Lekai opened up Arsenal's offensive opportunities, and Wilshere immediately followed up and formed a linkage with Aubameyang.

The two of them attacked directly towards the opponent's penalty area.

Aubameyang changed direction several times in a row and finally entered the penalty area with the ball.

He then passed the ball to Suarez with one foot.

Suarez failed to touch the ball in the confrontation, and the ball slipped away from his eyes.

After getting up, Suarez said to Aubameyang: "You should have shot it yourself!"

Aubameyang gave people a very strange feeling.

Did this guy like to pass the ball before?

Anyway, after coming to Arsenal, this guy seems to be more inclined to pass the ball than to score goals.

Facing Suarez's complaints, Aubameyang also showed a thoughtful expression.

Perhaps, he really should increase the number of shots.

Arsenal's attack failed this time, and Liverpool directly launched a counterattack.

Liverpool's counterattack was so swift and fierce.

It took only three kicks to pass the ball to the front of Arsenal's penalty area.

Coutinho dribbled into the penalty area with the ball and suddenly made a lob pass, trying to pass it to Benteke.

But Mertesacker suddenly jumped up from the spot and rubbed the ball with his head.

The ball flew towards the goal and goalkeeper Cech easily held it in his arms.

However, this ball also scared Arsenal fans and Mertesacker.

It was almost an own goal.

But Cech didn't care about that. He rushed forward with the ball and kicked it to Lukay in the midfield.

Lukay stopped the ball with his chest, turned around, and rushed towards Liverpool players again.

The pace of the game accelerated!

Whether it's Arsenal or Liverpool, they are desperately trying to score goals.

Ding!

!

The ball hit the crossbar hard.

Lucky held his head.

What the hell!

Since last season, he has hit the crossbar countless times and he just can't get in.

This long-range shot is tricky enough.

But the problem again is that damn crossbar.

Arsenal fans are also full of regrets.

If possible, they all want to suggest to UEFA whether the height of the goal can be increased, so that Lucky's goals can definitely be doubled.

But it is clear that this proposal will not pass.

The competition on the field was extremely fierce, and the two head coaches also frowned.

Patrice looked at Arsenal's defense and was slightly worried. After all, several of Liverpool's shots were within the goal frame. God knows when it would be a goal.

Fortunately, the central defensive partnership of Mertesacker and Koscielny works very well together.

And goalkeeper Cech is also online.

However, it is scary to have this kind of shot a few times.

On the other side, Klopp also frowned.

Arsenal's performance was not as bad as believed.

Especially after Lucky frequently stepped forward to join the attack, Arsenal's offense became increasingly difficult to figure out.

The most critical thing is that Liverpool's high-post press is not very effective.

Arsenal have experienced a turbulent transfer period and have been greatly affected.

But this impact is basically based on the offensive aspect.

It can be said that Arsenal's impact on the defensive end is not very great, and the full-backs have also found sufficient substitutes.

Their defense is still at the Champions League championship level!

"This game is hard to say!"

Klopp said solemnly.

Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene

Wow!

!

!

!

!

!

!

!

——

Klopp was startled and quickly looked towards the court.

No goal!

The players on the scene were also a little baffled.

Soon, the fans started shouting. There was some chaos at first, but it soon became orderly.

Wenger!

Wenger!

Wenger!

Are they calling for professor?

Lucky looked at the big screen and saw a professor in casual clothes sitting in the stands.

He smiled wryly and waved towards the camera, then looked at the court again.

The professor came to watch the game?

Including Lucky, Arsenal players suddenly felt a sense of surprise in their hearts.

“Oh~~~~~Wenger!

Wenger came to the stands. After nearly two months, he returned to the Emirates Stadium. I believe this moment is a great inspiration to Arsenal fans and players! "

For nearly 20 years, Wenger has become the spiritual symbol of this team.

His appearance has had a huge impact on Arsenal.

Seeing the always elegant Wenger, whether they were fans or players, their confusion was swept away.

Especially Arsenal players.

Their eyes gradually became firmer!

They want to win this game!

They want to help Arsenal win their first win and end this damn sluggish start!
