Strong Waist

Giroud is willing to learn and integrate into the team, and his style of play is also based on integrating into the team as soon as possible.

This can be seen from his willingness to observe his teammates' running positions and learn how his teammates play comfortably.

Compared with Lukaku, Giroud should be able to integrate into the team faster.

And judging from the current situation, Giroud's retracement not only connects the attack of the striker, but also connects the line with the forward penetration of the midfielder.

This is a very important point, which means that when Arsenal is in the center position of Giroud, other players can also play a sufficient offensive role.

This attack similar to Lucky's is just a phenomenon. Replaced by Kanter and Wilshere, even the cross-cutting of the full-backs can achieve the same shot.

Arsenal's offensive style of play has also become richer.

The game restarts.

Lucky's goal made Stoke City more anxious. They are playing at home. If they lose at home, it will be very unfavorable to their form at the beginning of the season.

Even if you can't win and get three points, it's still a draw.

And it is extremely valuable to get a draw from Arsenal. After all, in Stoke City's view, it is difficult for other teams to do this.

For this reason, Stoke City's offense began to become fierce.

But Arsenal's defense is too solid.

Stoke City's offense is still in the form of a long pass, and 'City in the Sky' still wants to rely on aerial combat to win.

But it is difficult for them to grab the first point every time they play a high ball, which makes Arsenal frequently clear out and even play effective counterattacks.

"Arsenal's position on the defensive end is very dense. After Kay scored a goal, he directly retreated and chose to defend. Moreover, driven by Kay, Arsenal's pressing in the midfield is also very good. Stoke City... "

Before the words were finished, Stoke City made a mistake in the press against Arsenal in the previous scene.

When the backcourt players received the ball, they failed to stop with their first kick, which gave Aubameyang a chance to advance.

Aubameyang used his speed to rush over directly. Facing the flustered Stoke City defender, Aubameyang used his flexible body to complete the press, and immediately launched a counterattack.

"Aubameyang! Steal!!"

"Stoke City central defender Shaw Rosso made a major mistake, can Arsenal seize this opportunity?"

Amidst the boos of the Stoke City fans, Aubameyang rushed forward, and when he pulled away, he looked up.

Seeing Giroud who was also crossing on the right side, and the overall figure of the opponent's goalkeeper had come to his side, Aubameyang made a selfless cross.

Giroud easily pushed and scored against the empty goal.

Arsenal 2:0 Stoke City.

Giroud comes off the bench, one pass and one shot!

"Oliver Giroud!!! This is the efficiency of the French center. In less than 20 minutes, he has helped Arsenal score two goals in a row. One pass and one shot completely killed the suspense of the game!"

"Stoke City lost to Everton in the first round away, and Arsenal will suffer a heavy blow at home in the second round!"

"The game time has come to 89 minutes. Arsenal used Giroud's last goal to completely kill the suspense!"

Andy Gray has basically unilaterally declared the game over.

Anyone can see that Stoke City has been extremely passive until now.

The first half was better. Facing Lukaku, who frequently missed opportunities, they were able to play more steadily.

But after Giroud came on the field, the environment of the game changed suddenly.

Two consecutive goals in 20 minutes, the game is basically over.

"Pretty!!!!"

Arsenal players including Lucky also cheered hard.

This goal made them breathe a long sigh of relief.

Although nothing can be seen at the beginning of the season, every victory can boost enough morale.

It is this kind of morale that Arsenal lacks now, and for this reason they fight very hard every game.

After winning this game, they will win two consecutive victories after the start of the league, which is very good news for Arsenal's start.

A small number of Arsenal fans at the scene also cheered loudly.

After a dull first half, Arsenal scored twice in the second half, this time igniting their enthusiasm.

The same is true for the Arsenal fans gathered in the London area. They have begun to discuss this player named 'Oliver Giroud' excitedly.

On the coaching bench, Mourinho and others are also determined.

Two goals have basically determined the victory of the game.

But it was Giroud's performance that made them most happy.

He fully played the role of the fulcrum in the frontcourt, and then he was able to shoot, and then he was able to make the ball, distribute the ball and even organize.

Although at present, Giroud interacts more with the midfielder, but they believe that in the future Giroud can also echo with the wing.

At that time, Arsenal's offense will become more threatening.

Arsenal's second goal completely made the game lose its suspense.

And Stoke City also lost momentum.

In the next minute and stoppage time, Arsenal played more cautiously and safely, not giving Stoke any chance.

Mourinho also quietly replaced two defensive players, increasing the thickness of the defense.

In this case, Stoke City basically lost the ability to fight back.

In the end, Arsenal won the game with these two goals.

Three whistles.

The game is completely over.

In the second round of the Premier League in the \u003c8 season, Stoke City lost 0:2 to Arsenal and lost the game at home.

And Arsenal got a valuable away three points!

This opening is a very good thing for their league development.

This also made the Arsenal players smile brightly after the game.

If anyone is upset, it's Lukaku.

Of course, Lukaku complained more about himself. He knew very well that he missed too many opportunities, otherwise the game would not have been delayed until this time.

What he needs to do is to quickly adjust his state, and then prove himself again when the opportunity comes.

At present, he is not sure, but Mourinho is really likely to give Giroud more opportunities.

On the one hand, it is to hone the new tactical system, and on the other hand, Giroud's state is better.

At the post-match press conference, Lucky also sat on the press booth.

Facing the questions from the reporters, Lucky responded in a unified way.

"Since the start of the season, we have tried our best to win every game and constantly adjusted our state. This victory is extremely precious, which is of great significance to our future league development!"

"As for Lukaku's problem, in my opinion, he is still an excellent center forward, a perfect offensive finisher, but his state is a bit wrong, but I think he will be able to adjust soon."

Next, the media asked Lucky about the Champions League.

"For now, I don't have too many thoughts. After all, the Champions League groupings have not been settled, but no matter who the opponent is, we will go all out to win!"

"As for the team I want to meet the most, I think it should be Barcelona. After all, they kicked us out of the Champions League two seasons ago!"

All the answers are in a more official form.

The media couldn't get more information from Lucky in the end.

They wanted to focus on attacking Mourinho, but the latter soon left with Lucky.

Seeing the two leave, the press conference ended quickly.

Compared to Arsenal, they really have no interest in Stoke City.

At the end of the game, Arsenal headed home that day.

Although the season is not tense, they still need to train to maintain their form.

At the same time, some tactical play in today's game must continue to be consolidated in training.

It was quiet on the return bus.

Some people are sleeping, some are looking out the window, some are listening to music,

Although they are all doing their own things, the picture of today's game is still in their minds.

Although Mourinho did not organize the summary, they had already begun to summarize it in their heads.

This game was a bit unsatisfactory.

In some places, they can obviously do better.

Some cooperation can obviously be played.

Some mistakes, could have been avoided and so on...

Unknowingly, the bus returned to the training base in London.

Mourinho did not keep the players, but directly dismissed them on the spot and let them go back to rest.

As for the summary and discussion, etc., it will be carried out on the second day.
