Chapter 79 Double Team
"The players from both teams have already entered the stadium from the player tunnel. We heard the fierce cheers of Atletico Madrid fans. For Atletico Madrid, this game will determine their qualifying situation in the Champions League. Whether they can appear first in the group will Let’s see if Atletico Madrid can win this game!”
Along with the excited voice of the Spanish commentator, the starting lineups of both sides also appeared on TV.
Atletico Madrid (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Oblak.
Defenders: Juanfran, Liu Kairui, Godin, Felipe.
Midfielder: Koke, Gabi, Thiago, Carrasco.
Forwards: Torres, Griezmann.
Arsenal (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders: Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal,
Midfielder: Kante, Wilshere, Lucky.
Forwards: Aubameyang, Suarez, Sanchez.
Sanchez covered his butt with a displeased look on his face. He originally wanted to tease Aubameyang, but he didn't expect retribution to come to him.
By the way, this guy’s hands are so strong that his butt still hurts!
Snapped!
!
hiss!
!
Sanchez took a breath, turned around and glared: "Are you coming again?"
Aubameyang said sincerely: "Remember to give me assists, I'm in good shape."
"I"
Sanchez was speechless.
On the sidelines, Patrice watched this scene, especially Aubameyang's expression, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said: "Pierre looks high-spirited!"
"Sanchez said that giving Aubameyang a special spell can bring him goals!" Colbert shrugged; "But he probably wanted to have fun, but he didn't expect retribution to come to him."
Patrice couldn't help but laugh.
He slowly stopped smiling, but the smile still remained at the corner of his mouth.
"Good news. Pierre seems to have found confidence."
Colbert also smiled and said; "Yes! Although it is a psychological effect, Pierre needs this kind of psychological support. His mood swings are too high. In fact, there is no problem with his ability, but his mentality is easily affected. , His mentality was unstable before, which led to his performance getting worse and worse. I hope he can perform adequately in this game.”
Patrice also nodded.
Aubameyang's performance is the best.
After all, Patrice is also under huge pressure. After all, he was the one who facilitated the transfer. If Aubameyang stays in this state, he will not be able to step down.
In the field, players from both sides are already in place.
Atletico Madrid took the lead.
Torres stands in the center circle.
He stepped on the ball and looked towards Arsenal's half.
It has been almost more than a year since I left Chelsea, and there have been quite a few changes in this Arsenal team.
Torres was very impressed with Lucky.
After all, Lucky made him suffer a lot when he was at Chelsea.
But because of this, he also knew Lucky's abilities very well.
It is not easy to break through this Chinese defense.
Torres looked solemn.
At this time, the whistle sounded.
Torres passed the ball back and ran forward.
While running, he observed the passes of his teammates and kept approaching the direction where the ball was transferred.
At the same time, Torres is also paying attention to Lucky's movements.
Lucky was not far or close to his position, but just a distance that he could immediately come to restrict.
This made Torres very afraid.
Once you are entangled by Lucky, you will face the consequences of losing the ball.
At this time, Gabi suddenly passed the ball to Torres.
Torres immediately started to move forward to meet the ball. He wanted to pass the ball back and let the midfielder reorganize.
But soon, he quickened his pace.
Because Lucky also moved.
This guy reacted very quickly, and the two of them acted almost at the same time.
Torres took the lead in controlling the ball, but Lucky also chased him the next second.
Torres had no choice but to pass back.
Lucky immediately retreated to hold his position.
Torres looked at Lucky's actions, and the fear in his eyes became heavier.
"Gabby tried a forward pass to test it out, but Torres passed it back decisively. In fact, once Kai gets entangled, it will be really troublesome!" the Spanish commentator said seriously.
Commentators around the world understand this.
The result of being entangled with Lucky is probably to lose the ball!
Therefore, if you do not have extreme confidence in your own foot skills, then never try to break through Lucky.
This is an unspoken rule in football today.
After Atletico Madrid attempted an attack but failed, they settled down and poured the ball in behind.
However, Arsenal will not let them continue to play so leisurely.
The pressure is on from the frontcourt.
Sanchez, Suarez and Aubameyang began to press crazily in the frontcourt.
Especially Aubameyang, he runs very frequently and never relaxes when he bites the ball.
This also brought the other two people along.
Atletico Madrid's pressure in the backcourt suddenly increased.
"Arsenal's pressing up front increased Atletico's pressure and they passed the ball forward!"
Following the commentator's words, Gabi passed Wilshere's defense and passed the ball behind Monreal.
Torres was about to start almost immediately, but suddenly there was a feeling of impact on his shoulder.
He paused at the start, turned his head and saw that Luka was running side by side with him, and at the same time, he used half of his shoulder to block his position.
Torres was anxious to push Luka away, but he found that he couldn't push him away at all.
In the end, Monreal easily controlled the ball, and Atletico Madrid's attack failed.
"Gabi wanted to play behind him, but Arsenal's joint defense was still very fast, or Kai's reaction was too fast. He immediately entangled Torres and bought time for Monreal to control the ball."
Monreal passed the ball to Kante, who passed it horizontally to Luka.
Luka passed the ball to Wilshere and ran forward.
When Luka stepped into the opponent's half, for some reason, he felt like he was being targeted.
But Luka didn't care too much.
Wilshere passed the ball to the wing, Sanchez tried to break forward, but was intercepted by Felipe, so he could only choose to pass back.
Lekai stepped forward to receive the ball. As soon as he stopped the ball, he suddenly felt his shoulders tighten on both sides.
Gabi and Koke quickly completed the double team.
Lekai was startled. He wanted to pull the ball and turn around, but the opponent began to stretch his legs to press.
Lekai controlled the ball while fighting.
"Beautiful!
Gabi and Koke reacted quickly and double-teamed Kai. That's right, we must limit him like this!"
The Spanish commentator was excited.
Lekai is Arsenal's thigh, but this thigh is not as thick as Messi's, or as crazy as Ronaldo's.
Just put pressure on Lekai and keep Lekai at this point, and Arsenal's offense will not start.
Simeone was on the sidelines, clenched his fists and yelled.
The double team was successful!
The tactic worked!
Patrese stood up suddenly.
He frowned deeply. Obviously, the news that Lekai was targeted was not good for them.
The ball was intercepted!
Lekai was knocked to the ground by the two men's pressure.
However, after losing the ball, Lekai did not roll on the ground to cheat, but quickly got up and chased back.
After running 20 meters, before Gabi passed the ball forward, he fell to the ground horizontally to block the ball out of the sideline.
The Spanish commentator saw this scene and couldn't help but wailing; "Gabi's pass was intercepted! Kai's chase was too timely, Gabi should have chosen to pass the ball faster!"
Gabi also had a look of regret.
He should have passed the ball faster just now.
Lekai got up from the ground, his face was very solemn.
He knew very well that he was being targeted.
He didn't know the specific tactics of Atletico Madrid, but as long as he ran to the front court and held the ball, he would be double-teamed by the opponent.
This is not good news!
Lekai knew that his ability was not enough for him to break through the double-team defense line.
For this reason, he did not act rashly, but chose to stay in the backcourt to observe.
"Kai was restricted. He did not choose to go forward to support, but instead roamed in the middle circle to transfer and organize. Atletico Madrid played very smartly!"
Paul Merson said insincerely in the Sky Sports live broadcast room.
Lucai is the starting point and even the end point of Arsenal's attack. This has been the case since the beginning of this season.
In many games, Luka turned the tide and performed amazingly.
But as the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
This time, Simeone's Atletico Madrid is ready to push Luka back!
