Volume 2 Chapter 38: Ground-low arc slash!
The Magpies were still looking for opportunities, but Arsenal's defense was extremely solid and did not give them any chance.
Especially under the sweep of Arsenal No. 4 in the midfield, Newcastle's attack stagnated.
God knows how many times this guy has ruined their plans!
Everyone looked at the guy who kept cruising around the center circle. Malvo felt extremely indignant, but there was nothing he could do.
Now, he hopes that Lekai can let him go and keep an eye on the others to defend!
At this time, Lucky no longer looked at Malvo.
After his series of interceptions, Malvo's efficiency in passing the ball forward became lower, which meant that Malvo was a little scared. Facing Lucky's crazy interceptions again and again, he was now extremely cautious in handling every ball, and even dared not to pass the ball.
The deterrent effect of Lucky was achieved.
But at the same time, another Newcastle player is still active on the field.
Demba Ba!
This player, who made his fortune in the Bundesliga Hoffenheim, had an amazing performance after coming to the Premier League.
But after Newcastle United invited Papiss Cisse to join, Demba Ba's position was moved to left winger, and his number of goals dropped sharply.
But in recent times, he has returned to the center position and his condition has begun to improve.
Demba Ba is a stream-of-consciousness player with amazing shooting skills.
What this guy is best at is volleying the ball into the dead corner without stopping. The most important thing is that this guy's left foot is also extremely accurate.
Since February 2011, Demba Ba has scored 35 goals for West Ham United and Newcastle United.
There are only two people in the entire Premier League who are better than him.
One is Robin van Persie's 64 goals and Wayne Rooney's 44 goals.
It can be said that this guy is definitely the key defensive target of Lucky.
However, so far, this guy's performance is not very good.
Because he was not active in running and just liked to wait for the ball, Lekai began to mark him precisely.
Due to Lucky's crazy interception, he has only had one shot so far, and it was an anti-aircraft cannon!
Demba Ba is depressed.
He put his hands on his hips and looked towards the backcourt, how he wished he could shout something.
'Midfielders, can you do something?'
Suddenly, he felt someone was looking at him. He turned around and saw Arsenal's No. 4 passing by him and uttering something.
"You're such a bad kicker!"
Demba Ba immediately glared at him, but Lekai was not afraid at all and glared back at him!
What are you doing!
Want to fight?!
Dengbaba rolled his eyes and grinned, "I won't fall for your trick. You are trying to irritate me."
Lucky looked surprised: "You are such a smart little fool!"
Immediately, Lucky patted his chest and raised his eyebrows, "Hey! Get past me, if you are still a man! Face me head on!"
Demba Ba turned his head and ignored Lekai.
But he was indeed a little angry.
If it were someone else, it would be fine.
Being mocked by a little kid made him feel not very happy.
After Lucky left, he turned around, squinted his eyes and looked at the other person, and whispered, "Kid! I will teach you what failure is!"
Thinking of this, Demba Ba actually took the initiative to retreat and ask for the ball.
When Lucky saw this scene, he was overjoyed.
I'm not afraid of you moving, I'm afraid of you not moving.
To be honest, Demba Ba felt extremely uncomfortable standing there like a nail.
Now that this guy started running, it made it easier for Lucky and the defensive players.
Lekai is still running actively, and his abundant physical strength allows him to sustain 90 minutes of high-intensity competition.
Moreover, Lucky's defense is not the kind of aimless head-on collision.
He forms a defensive line with his teammates most of the time.
Looking down from above, you can see two parallel defensive lines outside the Arsenal goal, consisting of a total of eight players.
They moved forward, backward, left and right in a uniform manner, maintaining a certain distance to prevent gaps.
At the same time, Lucky would run out from time to time to act alone.
This is also the highest authority Wenger gives to Lucky.
Lucky has the right to press and intercept freely throughout the field.
Theoretically, it would be fine even if he ran into the opponent's penalty area to press, but Lucky wouldn't do that.
While building the overall defense line, Lekai kept an eye on Demba Ba.
After retreating to receive the ball, Demba Ba turned around and tried to attack the defense line.
The place he rushed to was exactly where Lucky was.
This guy seemed like he didn't care, but he actually wanted to teach Lucky a lesson for a long time.
In response to this, Lucky's response was also very simple.
"Fuck him!"
Lekai roared and rushed forward first.
Soon Ramsey and Chamberlain also gathered around.
The three men surrounded Demba Ba and kicked him in circles, knocking the guy unconscious.
Demba Ba felt aggrieved: What about the one-on-one match we agreed on?
Lucky: I have more people, and I’ll only fight you if I’m stupid!
The three easily snatched the ball from Demba Ba's feet and immediately launched a quick counterattack.
As the ball was being seized in the centre circle, Demba Ba's retreat to receive the ball caused the Newcastle United players to rush forward, thinking it was a signal to attack.
But after being suddenly intercepted, they were completely numb.
"Beautiful coordinated defense!!"
George Adams, the on-site commentator , exclaimed, and then became excited; "Fight back!!"
Arsenal players ran very fast.
Ramsey passed the ball to Lucky, who looked up and forward.
He saw Newcastle United's defense line standing in an arc, with Suarez and Walcott trying their best to attack.
Lucky immediately activated his foresight talent and watched what would happen in the next few seconds.
I saw a smile on Lekai's lips.
Lucky slowed down slightly to adjust, then stretched his left foot like a bow and pulled it down hard.
The ball flew away with a thud.
This is a ground-low arc cut.
It passed between Newcastle United defenders Thornton and Pelchi, and with a graceful curve, came in front of Walcott who was moving forward diagonally.
Seeing the ball right in front of him, Walcott was overjoyed. He immediately accelerated again and threw Coloccini behind him.
The little tiger ran with great momentum. He received the ball at the fastest speed and had a one-on-one opportunity.
Live commentator George Adams is shouting.
"Walcott, one-on-one shot!!!"
The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium also stood up and stared at Walcott.
Walcott dribbled the ball into the penalty area again, but the opponent's goalkeeper took the initiative to attack and dived sideways to block it.
In response, Walcott calmly tiptoed the ball.
The ball leisurely fell into Newcastle United's goal.
"Ohhhhhhhh!! Walcott!!!!" George Adams, the commentator on the scene, shouted in a long tone: "He helped Arsenal score the leading goal. This is not offside. I am sure it is definitely not offside!!"
The Emirates Stadium was instantly boiling!
Enjoying the applause and cheers from the audience, Walcott turned around, pointed his index fingers at Lucky, and then gave a thumbs up.
'Great pass!'
Lucky didn't run to celebrate, but smiled and gave a thumbs up.
'Nice shot!'
George Adams also saw this scene and his eyes narrowed with joy.
"Our two scorers were praising each other. Yes, Walcott's goal was beautiful, but we can't forget Kai's key pass!"
"It was a wonderful arc, passing between two Newcastle United defenders, and after a curve, it came right in front of Walcott!"
At this time, the defense was also being played back on the big screen.
Especially the arc-shaped kick by Lekai that was low to the ground was captured in close-up.
Arsenal fans were moved as they watched this beautiful arc.
What an arc! So fucking beautiful! !——
…
"Walcott! One-on-one shot! Lob shot! Beautiful!!!"
Zhan Jun shouted, "In the 41st minute, near the end of the first half, Walcott made a beautiful run and scored a goal! Helping Arsenal lead Newcastle United 1:0!"
Coach Zhang Lu quickly responded, "The one who should be praised for this goal is Lucky. This pass was just so beautiful! It was a key pass that penetrated Newcastle United's defense with a low arc!"
"Yes, Lucky's pass was beautiful. It was a decisive kick at the critical moment and directly tore through Newcastle United's defense. Now I understand why Wenger put him at the core of offense and defense."
"Superb stealing and intercepting ability as well as the ability to make key passes, this is simply too strong!"
The barrage has also exploded.
“So so so so strong!!!”
"Oh my god! Why did Lucky's pass turn?!!"
"This pass of the ball feels so good, I can do it too!"
"Left foot, left foot! Didn't anyone notice this detail? Are there any bipedal monsters?"
"Is there a new guy upstairs? You're not surprised! Arsenal has two bipedal monsters, one is Cazorla, the other is Lucky!"
"I thought the defense was amazing, but I didn't expect the pass to be so cool!"
"Does the big core have any talent?"
"No, no, no! Lucky can't become a core player right now. His organizational skills and ball-handling abilities are not that good. He still needs to practice."
"I agree with the above point of view. If Luka has organizational skills, this kind of performance will directly replace Arteta as the core of passing and controlling the ball!"
"Nimma! Emperor Wang Yi finally got his wish. His previous passing was terrible, so he had to chase the ball desperately. He waited day and night, and finally got a good teammate!"
"What good teammate? This is the big daddy, okay? The emperor needs to be worshipped, otherwise he won't pass the ball to him!"
"There's also the little wind man Chen Man and Atletico Madrid defender Liu Kairui! I'm so looking forward to the 2014 World Cup!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
…
In the coaching booth, the coaches were cheering for this goal.
At this moment, Wenger was staring blankly at Lucky on the field.
That charming arc-shaped kick directly stunned him.
Lekai's passing ability has always been very good, but most of the time, he would choose the ordinary long pass or straight ball, and occasionally pass the through ball, which is already very good.
But in this game, Lucky's low-to-the-ground arc slash made him think again.
If, by any chance, Lucky's organizational and ball-handling abilities are developed.
So how terrifying is this offensive and defensive core?
Arteta's solid organizational skills.
Asora's breakthrough ability.
Lucky's defense and key passing ability.
Suddenly, Wenger's eyes began to flicker.
Maybe...really...he can once again create an Arsenal team that is as good as the one in the 2005-06 season.
Suddenly, his mind recalled the winning goal scored by Lukaku in the match against Manchester United this season.
Wenger clenched his fists.
No!
It will only get stronger!
