Chapter 23 Threats from the Far Side

"Goal!!!!"

"Long Shot!!!"

"Curved shot from the box line! A wonderful arc!"

"Kay!!!!!!!"

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

So did all the Arsenal fans.

They scored first in the game!

Lucky brought them their first goal!

At the same time, in the coach's bench, Wenger and Patrice were waving their arms almost at the same time.

"Goal!"

"It's done!"

The eyes of the two were filled with excitement, and they were extremely satisfied with this goal.

And it's a long shot!

At the beginning of the season, they gave Lucky the right to shoot from a long distance. In a total of ten rounds of the league and constant attempts in the Champions League group stage, Lucky finally ushered in his first long-range goal.

This is an extremely critical sign!

For Arsenal's tactics has a great role in promoting.

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

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

This change in Wenger's view is positive and also has a promoting effect.

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

He waved his arms frantically, venting his inner excitement.

The Arsenal fans in the audience were madly cheering Luckey's name.

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

They love the tough Chinese who always surprises them.

They are also willing to cheer him on!

He is the darling of the Emirates Stadium!

There was thunderous cheers, and the audience was boiling.

Cesc Fabregas watched this scene, and couldn't help but echo the past few years ago, when he was also so embraced by Arsenal fans.

But now, he's a traitor!

Thinking of this, Fabregas had a complicated look on his face.

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

Now Arsenal, there is no place for him!

Wenger stared at Le Kai in the field and suddenly said, "I think it is necessary to move the plan ahead!"

"what's the plan?"

Patrice, who was beside him, was celebrating, when he heard the words, he turned to ask,

Wenger pondered for a moment and said; "From January, I will hand over the organization 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 him on Arteta's side, and we will not give up on him, but for the future of the team, we must let Kai grow rapidly. In fact, we are very clear that this team Who should Arsenal play around around!"

Patrice did not continue.

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

An arsenal built around a brand new core system!

Arsenal scored the first goal at home, which gave them enough advantage.

Chelsea's side 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 play became more conservative.

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

At the same time bring the advantage into the second half.

Arsenal's tactical execution is very high, and the central defender is chasing and blocking Chelsea's attack.

Cesc Fabregas ran extremely hard and wanted to equalize the score, but he failed to pass out an effective assist ball in Arsenal's chase and interception again and again.

In the end, Arsenal entered half-time with a score of 1:0.

......

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

Mourinho is still more focused on defense.

In fact, in Jose Mourinho's first phase of Chelsea, it was an attack-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 offense and defense transformation!

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

To this end, at the two full-backs, the more defensive-minded Azpilicuele and Ivanovic are used.

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

And Cesc Fabregas' position dictates that he always needs to drop back to receive the ball, while turning his back to the attacking direction.

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

If the ball is received in the opponent's half, Cesc Fabregas will have to face the strangulation of Arsenal midfielders such as Luckey.

It can be said that Mourinho has a headache now.

Arsenal's No. 4 can't be solved, and Chelsea's offense always becomes sluggish.

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

Mourinho's eyes were fixed on Ramirez, and he hoped that Ramirez could make crazy steals and interceptions in midfield like Le Kai.

But in this game, Ramirez was in poor form!

In fact, since the beginning of this season, his state has been somewhat ups and downs.

Mourinho thought for a long time before he said to the side; "David! Go and warm up!"

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

The expressions of the people were different.

They don't know who David Luiz is going to replace.

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

On the other side, Arsenal's dressing room.

Wenger found Lekai to appreciate his long-range shot and asked him to keep his form in the second half.

In the end, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, boys, cheer up in the second half. Mourinho strengthens his defense and counterattacks when the game is uncertain, which requires us to focus more on the game!"

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

Sky Sports commentary.

Andy Gray said: "Chelsea are in trouble, Mourinho needs to find a way, Arsenal are better than him at both ends of the attack and defense, if you let Arsenal play like this, Chelsea will lose the last bit of it. There is a possibility of a turnaround.”

Richard nodded and said; "Kay has a lot of restrictions on Chelsea, and when Arteta is in organizational problems, he can help alleviate it. It can be seen from this game that Kai's ball-handling ability in midfield has been greatly improved. A big improvement, and a long shot, facing such a sudden change, it is indeed enough for Mourinho to have a headache."

While the two were talking, the players on both sides had already begun to walk out of the player tunnel.

In the camera, Mourinho can be seen walking out, his expression is extremely solemn,

Mourinho was caught off guard by Luckey's sudden evolution in this game.

In fact, this kind of evolution didn't happen overnight. Lucky had been showing it in the arena from time to time before.

Especially long shots!

Mourinho couldn't turn a blind eye, which made their defence even more confusing.

As soon as the second half of the game started, Le Kai completed a long shot again.

It was still a tentative long shot near the penalty area line, slightly above the crossbar, but it also shocked the Chelsea players in cold sweat.

Cech even roared at the defender after landing.

"Don't let him get up!—"

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

Not only have to face Arsenal's sharp pass and cut cooperation, but also be wary of long-range shots from Le Kai.

Le Kai failed to score the second long-range shot, but there was no regret on his face, instead he was extremely excited.

He has a feeling!

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

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

However, Le Kai did not take a long shot, but continued to score the ball towards both sides.

This situation has not made Chelsea players feel relieved, but more urgent.

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

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

It also made Chelsea's defense more and more dizzy.

Before I knew it, the time came to 70 minutes.

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

Ramirez goes off and David Luiz comes on.

David Luiz went straight to the midfielder.

Seeing this scene, Arsenal's players could not help but nodded slightly.

The professor is right, Chelsea have strengthened their defensive capabilities.

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

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

However, Chelsea also lacked the ability on the offensive end. Under the influence of the team, Cesc Fabregas' situation became worse and worse.

He also needs to make escapes and key passes when he is forced to hold the ball with his back.

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

In 90 minutes, Chelsea failed to score a single goal.

Finally left the Emirates Stadium bitterly.

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