Chapter 73: The Delayed Derby

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

"Southampton tried to win at home, but they still couldn't stop Kai's goal!"

"And it's not just Key. This Arsenal team is too balanced and outstanding in all abilities!"

"They seem invincible!"

As the commentator said, this Arsenal team feels too powerful.

You can only understand this feeling by actually playing against them.

Even if they have practiced many times before the game, even if they continue to simulate and study, they will be suppressed by Arsenal once they arrive on the field.

Arsenal's game state and ability showed far exceeded their expectations.

Arsenal last season was scary enough, but this season Arsenal seems to have broken through some shackles and they have become stable and strong.

Without any interference from non-match issues, who can beat Arsenal in this state?

At least for current Southampton fans, this is an extremely cruel question.

Even though they only conceded one goal, they were still able to understand the game. The overall rhythm and advantage of this game were all one-sided in favor of Arsenal.

As long as they have some ability to resist, they will not show such dejection.

But the pressure Arsenal put on them was too great. Even if they wanted to resist, they had to find a basis for resistance.

But they don't even have this ability.

After the first goal, Arsenal completely opened up their offensive capabilities, like a flood breaking through a dam, destroying everything in an instant.

After Lucky scored, Arsenal's offensive ability was fully stimulated.

Even if Lucky is not attacking forward, others can complete enough offensive tasks.

"Giroud!! Header!! Ah~~~it's a little over the crossbar!"

Giroud received Aubameyang's pass and grabbed the ball in the middle, but he failed to reach the center and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

"It's Giroud again! Scoop shot!! The ball went wide again!"

A tackle from Giroud kicked the ball out of the baseline.

After getting up, Giroud shook his head, not particularly satisfied with his performance.

If you grasp these two goals well, you can still score goals.

Giroud's two shots failed, but it still made Arsenal's offensive momentum more intense.

Although they failed to score more goals, they still played well.

It soon entered the second half.

In the second half, Arsenal still showed a strong offensive momentum.

They adhered to the rhythm of the first half and continued to suppress all the way.

Southampton wanted to seek changes, so they tried two attacks, but the ball was intercepted in midfield.

Seeing Southampton having a great opportunity, Lucky kicked the ball out of the sideline. The commentator shook his head helplessly and said:

"Southampton was too hesitant to play the ball. The brief hesitation allowed Kai to find the opportunity to steal. The most taboo thing when facing players like Kai is hesitation. When you see a gap, you must pass it quickly."

The commentator's explanation was subconsciously biased towards Southampton. After all, for many neutral fans, giving more encouragement to weak teams is a subconscious thing.

This is the situation in Southampton today, and they were suppressed miserably.

"Don't be anxious! Take your time step by step! Just like we do in training!"

Lucky opened his arms and encouraged his teammates.

From the beginning of the second half, the teammates' offense became a little anxious.

Especially after Giroud wasted two opportunities, he became more and more impatient in handling the ball.

This impatience can cause problems, so Lucky needs them to calm down.

In the next few minutes, after Arsenal gained the ball, Lucky took the initiative and ran forward to help sort out the rhythm.

To put it bluntly, it is to stabilize the rhythm.

While giving instructions, Lucai gradually calmed down the restless hearts of his teammates.

When the rhythm stabilized, Lucai also retreated and continued to retreat to defend.

"Kai played so well as a team!"

Andy Gray couldn't help but sigh.

The problem for many players is that after they step forward to participate in the attack, they are unable to retreat.

He knew he had to retreat to defend, but he just acted selfishly and always seemed to be jumping in the frontcourt to see if there was any chance.

Back and forth, the retracement was not timely, and the gap was still pulled out.

But Lucai would never choose such a style of play, and his stability was outrageous.

Sometimes, they all hope that Lucky can play more aggressively

Return to the playing field.

After Lucai sorted it out, the rhythm became stable again.

Especially on the offensive end, the overall coordination began to show again.

And this rhythm also caused Southampton's pressure to increase again.

Giroud kept dropping back to play the ball. He was not obsessed with scoring goals, but concentrated on passing the ball to both sides.

Southampton had previously felt that the pressure was coming from the central axis, but now Arsenal began to make crazy breakthroughs on both wings, and they were suddenly in a hurry.

And it's not just the winger, Giroud should also be optimistic about this point. Once Giroud is let go, this guy's scoring ability will be equally terrifying.

But even though they reminded themselves time and time again, they still couldn't take both sides into account.

When Arsenal suddenly launched an attack from the wing, Aubameyang decisively dribbled forward and turned around. This turn passed the Southampton full-back with a very easy defense, forcing the opponent's central defender to get closer to him.

When the gap was pulled out, Aubameyang immediately passed the ball.

Giroud almost carried the opponent's other central defender and easily pushed the ball into the goal.

After missing two consecutive opportunities before, Giroud finally scored in the second half.

And this goal also completely established Arsenal's victory in the game.

"In the 83rd minute, Southampton lost the ball again. After Kai, Giroud also completed the shot. Southampton was getting further and further away from victory, and Arsenal once again adjusted its state!"

After a pause, Andy Gray couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "This Arsenal is so powerful that it's terrifying!"

Beep beep beep! ! !

More than ten minutes later, three whistles sounded.

This also means that the game is over.

Arsenal easily won the game and took another solid step towards the league championship.

The only pity is that Manchester City is still playing the unbeaten myth.

At present, this Manchester City really seems to be playing like crazy, and it can't be restricted at all.

Many people think that only when it comes to the points-grabbing battle, Manchester City has the possibility of losing at the Emirates Stadium. As for other teams, according to Manchester City's current state, it is really not good enough.

Arsenal won the game and won the 16th round of the Premier League.

At present, Arsenal is still ranked second in the standings with a record of 14-1-1.

Manchester City is 14-2-0.

The two teams are still only one point apart.

It is difficult for Arsenal to counterattack Manchester City.

And it is even more difficult for Manchester City to widen the points gap with Arsenal.

It can be said that so far, the two teams are in the process of wrestling.

They are holding their breath, and no one wants to be pulled down by the other side.

They know very well that once this breath is lost, it will be too difficult to regain this state.

However, for Arsenal, the next game is also crucial.

Tottenham, led by Pochettino, was eager to teach Arsenal a lesson in the upcoming North London Derby with three consecutive victories.

In recent times, due to the rise of Tottenham, this North London Derby has also become widely watched.

Although Tottenham is still in a weak situation in terms of record.

But they are not completely powerless to resist.

In fact, this Tottenham is much stronger than expected, and its recent state is extremely good. They meet the conditions to win the game.

However, in the case of Arsenal, whether Tottenham can play the characteristics of previous games is a key.

After all, Arsenal's pressure on the midfield is already very strong. How to make Eriksen play easily and make him the organizing point of the whole team is a problem.

Once Eriksen is suppressed and Lukay gains control of the midfield, the result may not be so beautiful.

After all, Tottenham lost before, a big reason was because of this problem.

Eriksson was not playing well, but Lucky continued to play well.

As the two sides gained and lost, the advantage gradually shifted to the other side.
