Chapter 1118 Going to the city first
"Barcelona can't let Arsenal complete a steal in this kind of place! This is an extremely dangerous thing for them. If Wilshere's handling was calm just now, then this goal may really be scored! "
The Spanish commentator said with a look of shock.
The steal just now almost made his heart go wrong.
Fortunately, in the attack just now, Le Kai stood at the back and was not able to participate. If this ball was handled by Le Kai, the situation might be different.
Barcelona goalkeeper puts the ball on the six-yard line and drives the ball wide as the Barcelona players do not fully penetrate the Arsenal half.
Barcelona still uses ground penetration.
But after that fright, they didn't dare to pass excessively in the backcourt.
In particular, the picture of holding the ball that is too long is no longer happening, but using fast passes again and again to advance quickly.
When the ball came to Messi's feet, Barcelona was finally a little more stable.
Messi did not live up to the expectations of the players. He began to dribble and pass frequently in the frontcourt, driving Barcelona's offense.
Under Messi's combing, Barcelona's offense has become more and more organized.
But Messi is not omnipotent.
Especially when Arsenal put Kanter in charge of Messi, this itself puts a lot of pressure on Messi.
Kanter's defensive ability is very strong, there is no doubt about it.
And as Arsenal's midfielder to delay the defensive point, his defense has also become extremely decisive.
Whenever Messi has any dangerous thoughts, Kanter will not hesitate to persecute him.
For this reason, Messi's delivery also began to shift in the direction of Coutinho.
But the problem came again.
Coutinho has Lucky!
Coutinho is ambitious. As the backbone of Barcelona's young generation, he wants to use his performance and ability to bring advantages to the team.
And Coutinho did not hide this ambition at all. He has stated more than once that he wants to become stronger in Barcelona.
This feature is also vividly displayed in the game.
However, this time Coutinho's pressure is not small, after all, his opposite is Lucky.
Coutinho took the ball to the wing. After an emergency stop, he carefully looked at Le Kai who was guarding in front of him.
Lucky's center of gravity was lowered, and he didn't have an overly aggressive posture.
But even so, this also made Coutinho feel great pressure.
After all, Le Kai did not take his fake moves at all, and his movements during the defense were also extremely clean.
Even in many cases, the defensive movement made by Luckai just blocked Coutinho's breakthrough route.
This made Coutinho extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that Coutinho was 'blocked' by Le Kai on the wing, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray couldn't help laughing; "We admit that Coutinho is a very good player in the new generation of Portugal , but his ability is always difficult to use when facing Kai."
"Like the current scene, Kay is always able to limit his running position, and at the same time carry out some targeted pressure. Although he didn't make a tackle, he gave a lot of pressure."
As the commentator said, Coutinho was under a lot of pressure at this time.
Even when the route of the ball was completely cut off due to too much possession of the ball, he could only choose to do it alone.
Coutinho's upper limbs began to shake frequently, and at the same time, his body was also moving and changing greatly.
But Lucky's center of gravity didn't change much during the movement.
Until Coutinho suddenly stepped forward with the ball and wanted to lean in with his left foot, Lucky squeezed in, and immediately blocked Coutinho behind him after controlling the ball.
Coutinho saw that he lost the ball and immediately wanted to counter-rob.
However, Lucky would let him do what he wanted. He moved his body backwards, suppressing Coutinho's kinetic energy before he started, and immediately started to run forward, completing the escape.
The whole process was done in one go, completely putting Coutinho behind him.
And when Coutinho wanted to fight back again, Lucky had already run out, and the ball was passed out.
Seeing Coutinho lose the ball, Messi frowned subconsciously.
But he quickly retreated to defend.
Today's Barcelona is no longer the team that Messi does not need to retreat at all.
Because Barcelona's defense is not strong enough, Barcelona needs more people to retreat and join the defense.
And this time, Arsenal's counterattack was as quick as ever.
Giroud retreated to make the ball, Mane and Wilshere crossed positions, and distributed the ball to the wing.
Wilshire took the ball and sent the ball to the back point.
Aubameyang shot forward.
During the entire running process, everyone can run to their corresponding positions. Even if they don't have the ball, they are also supporting and pulling in the running position.
This also made Barcelona's defense more and more dizzy.
However, this strong shot was drawn on Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen, and he still failed to score.
Ter Stegen pressed the ball under his body, he kept agitating his cheeks and took a deep breath, with a slightly painful expression.
Obviously, he also felt extremely uncomfortable when the foot was stuffy on his body.
Arsenal also quickly retreated to defend when they saw that there was no chance of supplementary shots.
Arsenal's discipline is extremely strict when it comes to retreating defense.
"Three minutes, two shots! Arsenal still put enough pressure on the opponent in the away game, and in every counterattack, Arsenal can perform extremely well. The only pity is that they failed to convert into goals."
"However, I still expect Kay's position to be higher. Arsenal can completely let Kanter do the sweeping work in the backcourt."
After Andy Gray finished speaking, Le Kai moved forward.
Before, because the team failed to quickly enter the game state, in order to stabilize the defense, Lucky participated in more defenses.
Now, when everyone's status is online and they have adapted to the rhythm of the game, Lucy can also be released.
In the game, Ter Stegen drove the ball forward, trying to find Suarez directly.
Suarez is also constantly confronting the Arsenal central defender, while looking for opportunities to stop the ball.
But Hummels is very smart. He didn't entangle Suarez too much, but stayed two meters away from the opponent, waiting for the opponent to stop the ball.
At the moment when Suarez stopped the ball to the point where the ball landed, Hummels suddenly attacked and stabbed the ball out with a precise attack.
Arsenal is extremely good at grasping this defensive intention.
The ball came to Bellerin's feet.
Bellerin passed a direct pass to Aubameyang along the wing, and immediately advanced at high speed.
Arsenal's full-back lapping tactics are also extremely mature.
Bellerin slipped from behind Aubameyang, Wilshere was on the other side, and Lucky and Giroud were on the far end.
Under this multi-directional offensive position selection, Barcelona was unable to defend in a complete sense for a while.
They can only block the most dangerous areas as much as possible.
Seeing the full-back being taken away by Bellerin, Aubameyang also passed the ball to Le Kai.
Lucky had completed his observations before, and passed the ball around.
At this time, Lucky stood obliquely, facing the sidewalk where Bellerin was sitting.
The Barcelona players also subconsciously thought that this kick was passed to Bellerin.
But the moment they were about to start, the ball flew towards the right wing.
While there, Mane had advanced at high speed and waded the ball into the penalty area.
"Danger!!-"
Under the instant change, the Spanish commentator couldn't help exclaiming.
In the Nou Camp Stadium, Barcelona fans are also full of horror.
When Mane entered the penalty area with the ball, their hearts were in their throats.
this ball
Under their gaze, Mane dialed the ball laterally and pulled out the neutral position for shooting.
Immediately, without hesitation at all, he directly hit the goal from a small angle.
This kick slipped through Pique's crotch, and almost flew in by rubbing against the near goal post.
Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen was bewildered, and the moment he made a save, the ball had already entered the goal.
9 minutes into the game, Arsenal scored the first goal.
The attack was still launched by Lucky, and Mane received the pass and scored a goal.
