Chapter 37: The Core of Attack and Defense

"The Gunners are defending hard, they don't allow the Magpies to send the ball into their own half"

The commentator George Adams was a little absent-minded. Google search reading

He didn't think Arsenal could play a good defensive counterattack.

A team that is used to passing and controlling, you ask them to suddenly play a defensive counterattack, this is impossible.

If Arsenal has played or had similar training in the past, it's OK, but has it?

As far as George Adams knows, there is none of these.

So, he didn't understand why Wenger put up this lineup.

Could the so-called tactical master Wenger also have a moment of exhaustion?

Just when George Adams was thinking this, he saw Arsenal's players began to move towards the front court, the whole formation pressed forward, and carried out fierce sweeps in the front court.

What is this for?

No defense!

At this time, Malvo suddenly kicked, and this kick was obviously looking for Demba Ba.

And Demba Ba was in an extremely dangerous position.

"Danger! --Demba Ba!" George Adams shouted immediately, but the next second, his throat seemed to be strangled.

He saw a player in red and white jersey suddenly appear in front of Demba Ba and take the ball away in the air!

The figure landed, then quickly adjusted and ran forward.

George Adams saw the number 4.

"Kai!!!!!!!!!--"

George Adams shouted in surprise, and at this time, Arsenal's counterattack formation had been formed.

Lucai's dribbling speed was not fast, so he passed the ball directly to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain took the ball and started running at full speed.

At the same time, Suarez and Walcott were also pressing forward to the Magpies' defense line.

After an interception, Arsenal suddenly had six players attacking the opponent's penalty area.

Walcott, Suarez, Chamberlain, Luka, Diaby and Ramsey.

The six people rumbled and rolled over, directly scaring the Magpies' defense line.

Coloccini roared: "Retreat! Retreat! Shit! It's too late!"

At this time, the six Arsenal players had already dispersed in their respective directions.

Lekai and Suarez pulled to the side to attract the opponent's defensive players.

The others rushed into the penalty area.

Lekai rushed to the baseline and stretched his neck to look over.

He saw Chamberlain pass the ball to Suarez, who suddenly dribbled the ball and passed it to Walcott.

This dunk directly shook the opponent's goalkeeper to one knee.

Walcott faced the empty goal and pushed the ball with his instep very easily.

At this moment, the entire Emirates Stadium was extremely quiet.

Both Arsenal fans and commentator George Adams opened their mouths wide.

God!

Arsenal is playing a defensive counterattack!

And they play well!

They scored a goal! !

George Adams reacted and jumped up immediately, shouting: "Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!"

"Walcott! Just 6 minutes into the game, Arsenal players scored a goal!"

"They used a sharp counterattack. From the moment they intercepted the ball, they used a total of five kicks to pry open the opponent's goal!"

"This is Arsenal's defensive counterattack. Even if they played a defensive counterattack, they also adhered to the Arsenal style. They passed the ball into the goal!"

George Adams was very happy.

I thought everything was over. This was Wenger's tactical arrangement when he had no choice, but who would have thought that he would play such a deadly counterattack rhythm.

Arsenal coaching bench.

"Nice!!!!!!!!!--"

Patres jumped up first. He rushed to Wenger, hugged him, and roared; "I said, he can do it! He must be able to do it! Look at this attack, it is simply a standard defensive counterattack, an Arsenal version of defensive counterattack!"

Yes!

Unlike other defensive counterattacks, two-foot direct shots.

Arsenal completed five passes and accelerated the pace of advancement.

Moreover, they passed the ball into the goal.

This is very Arsenal!

"Your decision is correct, he withstood the pressure! Look at that interception, this is the embodiment of talent! There is no doubt that he is a genius, no matter how he ran to where, but he just appeared there, then completed the interception, and at the same time facilitated the counterattack!"

Patreles shook Wenger and roared, and the latter smiled bitterly; "Man, calm down!"

"I can't calm down! ——"

Patreles shook more violently.

Wenger trembled and stretched out his hand: "No goal! Offside!"

Ga! !

Patreles turned his head mechanically a little bit, and he saw the linesman holding the flag flat, indicating offside.

The goal was invalid!

"Shit! Such a beautiful attack was blown!"

Patreles cursed, with a lot of dissatisfaction in his tone.

But his heart was hot.

The attack just now was not accidental, because they played like this in the training match.

And now, they brought the performance of the training match to the game. God knows how difficult it is.

But they did it!

Patrese's eyes became hot.

Not only Patrese, but Arsenal fans also opened their mouths in surprise.

What was that just now?

Arsenal played a defensive counterattack?

The defense that they complained about was actually able to play a defensive counterattack?

And they played it well?

"Oh! Damn it! Can anyone tell me how they did it?"

"Arsenal is playing a defensive counterattack, are you sure you are not kidding?"

"Really played it? How is it possible?"

Arsenal fans are mostly skeptical, but they have begun to have a little expectation.

No one dares to absolutely guarantee it?

What if?

What if Arsenal really played a defensive counterattack?

And, they played very distinctively, didn't they?

In the stadium, Lekai encouraged his teammates loudly.

"It's okay, guys, don't worry too much about this ball, retreat! Retreat! We have to stabilize the defense!"

Arsenal players retreated actively one by one.

There was no trace of frustration on their faces.

Instead, they were full of fighting spirit.

This attack told them that there was a chance for a counterattack.

What better news than this?

"Hey! Did you see the pass I just made? It was just wonderful, wasn't it?"

Chamberlain, who was in the midfield, was excited.

He came over, looking like he wanted to take credit.

Lekai smiled heartily, raised his right hand and slapped Chamberlain's back hard.

Pa! ! !

"Well done! Zhang Juzheng!"

Hiss! ! !

Chamberlain took a breath of cold air, and his back was burning.

What else is Zhang Juzheng?

My name is Chamberlain!

The first defensive counterattack boosted Arsenal's morale.

And Newcastle was a little confused.

They really saw Arsenal's defensive counterattack for the first time, and it was probably the first time in the entire Premier League.

They were fortunate to be witnesses of history, but they could also become victims.

The game started again, and the unbelieving magpies still wanted to pry open a gap.

But they found that they couldn't do it at all.

Arsenal's defense was extremely solid.

There was no gap at all in the back.

Finally, they wanted Demba Ba to use his personal ability to tear open a hole.

Then, they saw Demba Ba crash into the arms of Arsenal's No. 4.

For a full twenty minutes, Demba Ba was intercepted or intercepted by Lucky again and again.

With Lucky's activeness, Arsenal's defense can be described as solid as a rock.

They kept their distance, guarded every gap, and did not give Newcastle United any chance.

For Newcastle's players, they felt like an invisible wall stood in the opponent's midfield, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not get in.

Malvo has enough passing and dribbling ability.

But now, he feels like he is being stared at by a demon.

God knows how the No. 4 knows where he is going to pass.

Every time there is this guy, every time he has to intercept, he will rush over to try no matter how far away he is.

So far, he has passed 10 times in total and was intercepted 6 times.

Malvo has never seen such an outrageous thing.

The most important thing is that this guy is only focused on stealing the ball from me!

There are eleven players in the whole game, why did he only steal the ball from me!

Can't he change someone else?

Lucky's answer is 'no'!

The reason why he is focusing on Malvo is mainly because this guy plays an extremely important role in the Magpies' lineup. It is not enough to say that he is the passing center.

In order to directly defeat the opponent's passing system, Lucky started from the root.

If your best pass interceptor collapses, what else can you do!

Lucky intercepted Malvo's pass brutally. Everyone could see that Malvo's expression was bitter.

Even in the coaching booth, Wenger was silent for a moment, turned his head and looked at Patles and said, "Did you teach him to play like this?"

Patles shook his head firmly, and then grinned, "But it's effective!"

Wenger nodded slightly. It was effective, but how did this guy do it?

But no matter what, Arsenal's defense was extremely stable under Lucky's activeness.

And Lucky is not just defending.

The counterattacks were painful for Newcastle.

Although they defended, they had to admit that the pressure from Arsenal's counterattacks made them a little overwhelmed.

If this continues, they will be finished sooner or later!

"Is this the core treatment?"

In the live broadcast room of Sina Sports, Zhan Jun said with his mouth slightly open.

When defending, Lekai has no limited area and is in a state of running all over the field.

He can appear anywhere and defend independently.

Compared with Lekai, the area defense of others is fixed.

And when attacking, in most cases, Lekai will handle the ball.

Isn't this the core of offense and defense?

Not only Zhan Jun, but also the Arsenal fans at the scene saw the door.

But at the same time, they also showed surprised expressions.

18-year-old offensive and defensive core.

Even in Arsenal, it has never happened before.

Although Arteta, Cazorla, and Wilshere were injured, they never thought that Wenger would really let an 18-year-old teenager go out to serve as the core.

They thought about Suarez, Podolski, Walcott, Ramsey, and Diaby.

But they really didn't think of Luka.

But fuck it.

18 years old is 18 years old, so what?

Who says that young people can’t be core players?

What’s more, he plays really well!! ——
