Chapter 138 Threats from the Far End

   "Goal!!!"

   "Long shot!!"

   "Curving shot on the penalty area line! A wonderful arc!"

   "Kay!!!!"

  George Adams jumped up from his seat, waving his arms excitedly, and cheering uncontrollably.

  The same is true for the Arsenal fans in the audience.

   They scored the first goal in the game!

   Lucky brought them the first goal!

   At the same time, on the coach's bench, Wenger and Patrice waved their arms almost at the same time.

   "Goal!"

   "It's done!"

  There was excitement in the eyes of the two, and they were extremely satisfied with this goal.

   And it's a long shot!

  At the beginning of the season, they gave Le Kai the authority to shoot long shots. In a total of ten league rounds and continuous attempts in the Champions League group stage, Le Kai finally ushered in the first long-range goal.

   This is an extremely critical sign!

   It has a great promotion effect on Arsenal's tactics.

   Lucky's long-range shooting ability can assist Arsenal's offensive system and enrich Arsenal's offensive diversity.

  Of course, Lucky is only the first long-range shot, and still can’t represent too many things, but it has changed little by little.

  In Wenger's view, this change is positive and has a promotional effect.

  In the arena, after scoring a goal, Le Kai started running around the field.

  He waved his arms wildly, venting his inner excitement.

  Arsenal fans in the audience were wildly cheering Lucky's name.

  In two years, they have formed a good bond with this Chinese midfielder.

  They love this Chinese who has a tough style of play and always surprises them.

  They would also like to cheer him on!

  He is the favorite of the Emirates Stadium!

  The scene was thunderous with cheers, and the audience was boiling.

   Fabregas looked at this scene, and couldn't help but recall the past a few years ago, when he was so supported by Arsenal fans.

   But now, he's a traitor!

  Thinking of this, Cesc Fabregas' face was filled with a complex look.

   He knew that since Wenger rejected his request, nothing could go back to square one.

  Now Arsenal, there is no place for him!

   Wenger stared at Le Kai on the field, and suddenly said: "I think it is necessary to advance the plan!"

"what's the plan?"

   Patrice on the side was celebrating, and turned around to ask,

   Wenger pondered for a moment, and said; "From January onwards, I will hand over the organizing rights to Kai in some games."

   Patrice frowned slightly; "Is it a bit too fast? Arteta's side"

Wenger shook his head and said: "I will explain the situation to Arteta, and we will not give up on him, but for the future of the team, we must let Kai grow rapidly. In fact, we know very well that this team Who should Arsenal play around!"

   Patrice didn't continue talking.

  Actually, he is also looking forward to the future of Arsenal!

   An Arsenal built around a brand new core system!

  Arsenal scored first at home, which gave them a sufficient advantage.

   Chelsea is in a passive state.

   But Arsenal still can't relax, after all, what Mourinho's team lacks most is toughness.

  After the goal, Arsenal's style of play became more conservative.

   Their idea was simple, to keep the score going into the second half.

   At the same time, it brought the advantage into the second half.

  Arsenal's tactical execution is very high, and the central defenders chased and blocked Chelsea's attack.

   Fabregas ran extremely hard, trying to equalize the score, but in Arsenal's chasing and intercepting again and again, he failed to pass effective assists.

  In the end, Arsenal entered the intermission with a score of 1:0.

  In the locker room, both sides are making tactical arrangements for the second half.

   Mourinho still pays more attention to defense.

  In fact, in the first phase of Mourinho's Chelsea, it was an offensive-oriented tactical system.

  However, after Mourinho joined Inter Milan, he was influenced by the defensive concept of Italian football and began to pay more attention to defense.

   During the Real Madrid period, Mourinho focused on the "speeding up" of offensive and defensive transformation!

  After returning to Chelsea, in order to better stabilize the situation, he continued to strengthen the stability of the defense.

  For this reason, Aspilicuer and Ivanovic, who are more defensive, are used at the two full-backs.

   This also made Chelsea's ball route rigid, largely relying on Fabregas.

  The position of Fabregas determines that he always needs to drop back to catch the ball, and at the same time have to turn his back to the attacking direction.

   At this time, Fabregas will encounter the struggle and restrictions from Arsenal's frontcourt.

  If he receives the ball in the opponent's half, Fabregas will also face the strangulation of Lucky and other Arsenal midfielders.

   It can be said that Mourinho feels a headache now.

   If Arsenal’s number 4 cannot be resolved, Chelsea’s offense will always become slow.

   Wenger nailed a nail at the pivot of Chelsea's offensive and defensive transformation.

   Mourinho's eyes are fixed on Ramirez, he hopes that Ramirez can make crazy steals and interceptions in the midfield like Lucky.

   But in this game, Ramirez was in poor form!

  In fact, since this season, his state has been a bit up and down.

   Mourinho thought for a long time before turning aside; "David! Go warm up!"

   Hearing this, everyone in the locker room looked at Mourinho.

   Everyone has different expressions.

  They didn't know who David Louis was going to replace.

   After all, this guy can play as a defender or as a midfielder!

   On the other side, Arsenal's dressing room.

  Wenger found Lucky to appreciate his long shot and asked him to continue to maintain his state in the second half.

  Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, boys, we need to keep our spirits up in the second half. Mourinho strengthened his defense and counterattack when the game was uncertain. This requires us to focus more on the game!"

   Wenger did not make any substitutions, which means that he was extremely satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half.

  Sky Sports commentary desk.

Andy Gray said: "Chelsea is in trouble, Mourinho needs to find a way, Arsenal is doing better than him on both ends of the offense and defense, if Arsenal is allowed to play like this, Chelsea will lose the last trace There is a possibility of a comeback."

Richard nodded; "Kay has a lot of restrictions on Chelsea, and when Arteta falls into organizational problems, he can also help alleviate it. From this game, we can see that Kai's ability to hold the ball in midfield has been greatly improved. Great improvement, and a long-range shot, facing such a sudden change, it is indeed enough for Mourinho to have a headache."

   While the two were talking, players from both sides had already started to walk out of the player channel.

  In the camera, Mourinho can be seen coming out, his expression is extremely dignified,

   Lucky's sudden evolution in this game caught Mourinho by surprise.

  In fact, this evolution did not happen overnight, and Lucky has also shown it from time to time in the arena before.

  Especially with long shots!

  Mourinho couldn't turn a blind eye to this, which also made their defense even more confusing.

  Just after the start of the second half, Le Kai made another long shot.

   It was still a tentative long-range shot near the penalty area line, slightly higher than the crossbar, but it also shocked the Chelsea players into a cold sweat.

   Cech even roared at the defender after landing.

   "Don't let him kick!—"

  The Chelsea defenders looked dignified, and their defensive pressure was even heavier.

   Not only have to face Arsenal's sharp passing and cutting cooperation, but also be wary of Lucky's long-range shots.

   Lucky failed to score a goal with his second long shot, but he did not show any regret on his face, but was extremely excited.

  He found the feeling!

   After the first long-range goal, it seems to be enlightened!

  Since then, whenever Lucky touches the ball near the penalty area line, the Chelsea players have become extremely vigilant.

   It's just that Le Kai didn't take a long shot, but continued to distribute the ball towards the sides.

  This situation did not make the Chelsea players feel relaxed, but it became more urgent.

   They don't know when Lucky will take a long shot!

  In addition to long-range shooting, Lucky also has the ability to score the ball.

   This also made Chelsea's defense even more dizzy.

  Unknowingly, the time came to 70 minutes.

   Taking advantage of a dead ball, Chelsea took the lead in making a substitution.

   Ramirez off, David. Louis on.

  David Lewis went straight to the position of the midfielder.

   Seeing this scene, the Arsenal players couldn't help but nodded slightly.

  Professor is right, Chelsea has strengthened its defensive capabilities.

  David Luiz plays as a defensive midfielder, which sounds like a defensive midfielder, but to put it bluntly, it is a five-back formation.

   After completing the substitutions, Arsenal's offense was disturbed to a certain extent.

   But Chelsea also lacks offensive capabilities. Affected by the team, Fabregas' situation is getting worse.

  When he is forced to get the ball with his back, he still needs to make escape and key passes.

   But in the face of the strangulation of the Arsenal midfielder, especially after several fouls, Cesc Fabregas was unable to succeed after all.

   In 90 minutes, Chelsea failed to score any goals.

   Finally left the Emirates Stadium with hatred.

  In the 2013/2014 season, Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea continued their winning journey.
