Volume 2 Chapter 23 Breakthrough

"At the end of the first half, Manchester United leads Arsenal 1:0."

"Honestly, Arsenal played too cowardly in this game!"

Coach Zhang Lu could not help but complain; "The defense tried their best. Look at how Lekai ran. They blocked the right side, then the left side, then the left side, and they managed to hold on, but Arsenal didn't even get a shot!"

"In the first half, he took five shots, but only one hit the goal frame. What kind of data is this!"

Zhan Jun also said with a worried look on his face; "Arsenal need to play tougher."

During the game, players from both teams walked back to the locker room.

Arsenal fans in the stands have already started roaring in dissatisfaction.

"Hey! Don't kick like a woman!"

"Fight! Fight them!"

"Score a goal! We have to score a goal!"

"Can you be a little more bloody?!"

"Kick harder!!"

Faced with the roar of Arsenal fans, the players' expressions became even uglier.

Wenger's face was also extremely gloomy.

He walked into the locker room in silence, his emotions already brewing.

Wenger walked into the locker room and saw the players looking dejected.

He frowned, closed the door, and just opened his mouth.

"What are you afraid of?!"

Lucky's roar interrupted him.

Lucky looked at Walcott and said, "Hey! Buddy, what are you afraid of? You are 24 years old, Evra is 32 years old, he is 8 years older than you! Why do you play like a 32-year-old?!"

"Fight him! Fight him! You can do it! You are a little tiger! Walcott!!"

Walcott pursed his lips and said, "I want to cheat!"

"Get rid of this idea as soon as possible!" Lucky yelled again, "Don't even think about cheating, Theo! Play like a man!"

Walcott took a deep breath and said, "I know!"

Lucky turned to look at Cazorla and said, "Don't be afraid of confrontation or conflict. This is our home ground. What are you afraid of? Fighting?! Then fight them! If they dare to touch you, I will be the first to rush to help you!"

Lucky patted Cazorla on the shoulder and said, "Hey man, there are eleven of them and we are eleven too! If anyone dares to touch you, our whole team will go up and beat him up!"

Captain Vermaelen said coldly; "That's right! Kai is right! Don't be afraid of confrontation! This is our home court! Everyone is watching us, play more aggressively, don't be afraid of problems, if we really have to fight, we won't sit and wait for death!"

bump!!!!

Vermaelen pounded the table angrily and said, "It's not like we haven't fought before! At worst, we can do it again!"

That year, Vieira led Arsenal to fight against Manchester United led by Keane.

Now Vermaelen dares too!

Lekai couldn't help but give the captain a thumbs up!

This is when Vermaelen's voice had an effect.

A spark of fire began to appear in everyone's eyes.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Lucky looked at Wenger and said, "Professor, we are done, you can come and guide us!"

Wenger looked at Lucky deeply.

Lucky and Vermaelen helped him do the dirty work.

Wenger took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Now let's start planning the tactics for the second half!"

…

On the other side, in Manchester United's locker room, Sir Alex Ferguson rarely showed any anger, but instead praised the players for their performance in the first half.

In particular, Van Persie's goal in the first half was highly praised.

This also made Van Persie smile with satisfaction.

Immediately, Ferguson said: "In the second half, we will still play at the same pace as before, but we need to pay attention to the number 4!"

"You need to figure out his ability to steal and intercept in the midfield. Don't try to fight him head-on. Try to bypass him as much as possible!"

After saying this, Ferguson glanced at Ashley Young, obviously speaking to him.

Ashley Young's whole face turned red, showing his agitation, and then became a little gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.

…

Meanwhile, live commentator George Adams was trying to lighten the mood.

The Emirates Stadium is now in a state of anxiety and anger after falling behind. He needs to guide these fans to cheer up again and cheer for the team.

"Guys, we only conceded one goal, that's not a problem. Arsenal have been through more difficult situations and we've come through them all. Now we have the courage and we know how to adjust!"

"And it's not like we don't have a chance of winning. As long as we make a few adjustments in the second half, Manchester United isn't that scary, is it?"

After hearing this, the Arsenal fans' expressions improved slightly.

George Adams was right.

Arsenal is not afraid of any difficulties and they have experienced the most cruel situations.

What's more, Manchester United is really not that scary.

Their defense was still quite good throughout the first half.

It's just that there are some problems on the offensive end, and we just need to improve this aspect.

They trust professors to adjust.

Soon, the halftime break was over.

Arsenal and Manchester United players entered the field one after another.

Compared to the first half, the expressions of the Arsenal players became more ferocious, and their eyes were staring straight at the Manchester United players as if they wanted to fight.

The momentum is different!

Lucky is very satisfied with this transformation.

When playing against Manchester United, you don’t have to be afraid of being impulsive, but you have to be afraid of being timid

You must confront them head-on.

Once you admit defeat, Manchester United will use attack after attack to show you what Ferguson's iron-blooded football is!

After returning to the court, there was a slight change in Lucky's position.

He exchanged positions with Arteta, and Luka moved from the right to the left.

In other words, Lucky is now facing Ashley Young's left-wing channel.

Since the old Sir wanted to open a gap by relying on the left wing, the professor placed Arsenal's strongest shield on the left.

Use the strongest posture to suppress the opponent.

At the same time, the old Sir didn’t know that Arsenal’s shield had the effect of counter-injury!

Lucky took a deep breath. His task in the second half was very difficult.

Because Arteta has been unable to create an effective offensive rhythm, Wenger put the burden of attacking and passing the ball on Lukay.

In order to relieve the problem of Luka being restricted by defense, he reduced the number of Arteta's forward runs.

Since Ferguson wants to fight it out on the left wing.

Then the professor will stick with you till the end!

The game restarted and Arsenal took the lead.

Suarez rushed towards the opponent's half after the kick-off, while Arteta continued to pass back.

Manchester United players rushed over to press.

They were extremely aggressive in pressing in the frontcourt.

Lucky retreated to provide support.

Vermaelen passed the ball to Lukay, and as soon as he stopped the ball, he felt someone squeezing him.

Van Persie pressed close to Lucky and tried to push him, but Lucky did not move at all.

Now Lucky is no longer the little kid he used to be. With a weight of 83 kilograms, Van Persie can't push him.

Luka pushed Van Persie away with his butt, then turned around and passed the ball to Arteta.

Van Persie put his hands on his hips and shook his head in frustration.

Luka ignored all this and approached Arteta again, making a gesture.

After seeing this, Arteta didn't say anything and just passed the ball to Lukay.

After receiving the ball again, Lekai passed it to Cazorla.

Cazorla passes the ball to Podolski.

Manchester United pressed, and Podolski passed the ball back to Arteta, who then gave the ball to Lukay.

Lukay passed the ball to Walcott with one touch.

Walcott received the ball and started decisively, trying to break through.

Evra tried his best to defend, but Walcott was no pushover either. Two consecutive collisions failed to shake the little tiger.

Seeing that he was about to cut inside, Evra had no choice but to make a tackle.

"Hey!!!!"

Lucky shouted and rushed towards Evra.

Others also gathered around.

This is a flagrant foul!

Arsenal and Manchester United players started to clash!

But they did not cause any serious incident. The referee ran over to separate the two sides and then showed Evra a yellow card.

Evra was a little depressed, but he could only accept his fate.

At the same time, he vaguely felt that Arsenal were using him as a breakthrough point.

This made him even more upset!

Lucky helped Walcott up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done, that old guy can't keep up with you."

Walcott nodded and said, "He can't push me, so he can only use a tackle!"

Lekai said, "Remember to protect yourself and don't get hurt!"

Walcott nodded, then looked at Evra. He felt there was a chance.

At the same time, Cazorla also started to exert his strength!

The ball stuck to his feet and he tried his best to squeeze in.

Manchester United players wanted to steal the ball, but Cazorla kept dodging them left and right, so they had to commit a foul!

Seeing this, Arsenal's live commentator George Adams was surprised; "Arsenal's forward line has begun to exert its strength. Walcott and Cazorla are threatening Manchester United's defense, and Suarez is supporting them at the front point. Arsenal's offensive has started!"

George Adams' eyes turned to Lucky.

is it him?

The offensive rhythm in the first and second half was completely different.

The only difference is that Lucky sticks to the ball more and he starts to take the initiative to organize?

No! The overall organization is still Arteta's job.

And Lucky is responsible for the ball delivery.

But from time to time, it will be interspersed into organizational work. The number of times is not large, but the effect is obvious.

These two goals were scored by Cazorla and Walcott, but they also needed to be in a dangerous position before they could start to exert their strength.

Just like in the first half, Arteta's slow offensive rhythm failed to inspire these two qualities.

Now, Luka frequently passes the ball to dangerous areas, allowing the two to use their personal abilities to tear open the opponent's defense and further put pressure on Manchester United.

No way!

George Adams swallowed.

Strong defensive ability!

Excellent key passing ability!

Now he is showing his talent in organization...

This is really a trend of midfield core!

Not only George Adams, but Arsenal fans also have sharp eyes.

They fully saw Lucky's performance in these attacks.

It seemed like an ordinary kick, but it sent the ball to the right place.

Fully stimulate the personal abilities of Walcott and Cazorla.

And it was different from the slow offensive rhythm in the first half.

Arsenal's attack in the second half was extremely purposeful and aggressive.
