Chapter 127 Attempt a long shot

"Kai~~Long Shot~~~Oh~~It's just a little bit short! It rubbed the crossbar and flew out!"

In the Sky Sports live room, Paul Mawson shook his head regretfully, and immediately cheered up: "Although he failed to score, he also said that Kai was in a hot state in this game, and this was the second time he tried. The feet, the quality of the long shots with both feet is very good, but I didn't score!"

Dixon also nodded and said: "Wenger should have given Kai the right to fire to a certain extent! In fact, from the beginning of the league, we can see that Kai often tries long shots."

Paul Mosen said; "As a defensive midfielder, strong feet and long-range shooting capabilities are extremely necessary, which can not only increase their arsenal, but also pose a threat to the opponent's goal at the far end! Obviously, Wen Grid didn't just make Kai a defensive midfielder!"

Dixon laughed; "This is a bit too wasteful! Kai is talented in passing, but these need to be excavated and practiced in the game. I feel Wenger did a good job!"

On the sidelines, Wenger nodded slightly.

He agreed with Luckey's two tentative long-range shots.

Although it failed to score a goal, it gave Marseille some pressure.

Lekai's two long shots are telling Marseille that even if they don't enter the penalty area, they still have the ability to penetrate the goal.

"Don't let him start!"

Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda roared angrily. These two long-range shots are of high quality. If he is not on guard, he will feel bad when he finds it!

Marseille's defenders also frowned.

In fact, it is not only the pressure that Lucky put on them, Cazorla, Suarez, Arteta, Walcott also put a lot of pressure on them.

even more than Lucky.

It's hard enough for them to guard against these people, how can they limit Lucky.

But having said that, the limit is still a limit.

Lekai is cruising near the restricted area, constantly looking for opportunities.

Walcott saw that there was no chance to cut inside and passed the ball to Lucky.

Lucky catches the ball and flicks the ball horizontally.

But at this moment, the two Marseille players of Kung Fu came over decisively.

A defender, a midfielder, attacking from front and back!

Lucky failed to kick up, he desperately defended the ball and hurriedly divided the ball out.

After passed the ball out, Lucky shook his head with his hips on his back.

The ability to hold the ball is still not good!

If he can get rid of it in this situation and then shoot, it will definitely put more pressure on the opponent.

Seeing that he has been targeted, Le Kai no longer misses the opportunity for long shots, but retreats to the opponent's rib area to prepare for interception work.

"Kay has retreated. It seems that he couldn't find a good opportunity, so he took the initiative to retreat and join the defense, and Marseille was relieved!"

Sky Sports commentator Paul Mawson said.

This is also true for Marseille. Luckey's retreat means that they can concentrate on defending the inside of the penalty area.

Arsenal's repeated incisions failed to produce results after all.

After Suarez barely completed a shot attempt, Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda knocked the ball away with his fists, and Marseille defender Nkulu stopped the ball in the chest, and immediately went directly to the front of Payet.

Payet is running towards the ball with all his strength.

But he is not easy, because an Arsenal No. 4 is tightly glued to his side!

Lucky and Paye were in constant confrontation, and both of them came to the landing spot immediately.

But Lucky's movements were obviously faster. I saw that he rose directly into the air with a slightly open movement of his arms, preventing Paye from taking off.

Paye was unable to take off under the interference of Lekai, and could only raise his head, hoping that Lekai made a mistake in his judgment.

But this is impossible.

Lucky hit the ball firmly and passed it perfectly to Arteta who was retreating.

"Paye, I can't compete!"

Sky Sports commentator Paul Mawson's tone was full of ridicule. At this time, his heart was as sweet as honey.

Fighting for steals and interceptions with Lucky in the midfield, deserves to suffer!

Arsenal away fans applauded.

Lucky's strong interception ability in midfield directly cut off Marseille's counterattack ability.

This ball can't come, how to fight back!

The stands of Marseille fans are also full of noise!

"Shit, why is this guy again!"

"Why is he everywhere!"

"Find a way to get past this Chinese, Gignac and Paye, you can do it!"

"Valbuena, do something!"

But apparently, these guys are in trouble.

Marseille's core player, Valbuena, played very unhappy. As soon as he got the ball, two Arsenal players would come directly to press frantically.

More Lekai is eyeing the tiger, constantly predicting and intercepting.

Lekai has appeared several times on the only way to pass the ball, which also made Valbuena's play very uncomfortable.

France's 'Bamboo' is in great trouble.

Lucky's protection in the middle circle made Arsenal's offensive more intense, and Lucky himself also joined the attack from time to time.

To be honest, Marseille's offense is not very strong, or they didn't play well in this Champions League.

Lucky doesn't know if it's his own illusion, anyway, Marseille doesn't feel like a second-tier team in the Champions League.

The ball is passed to Paye's feet again.

Lekai saw this scene and immediately blocked the front.

Lucky followed each other sideways.

Watching Lucky come over, Paye also felt invisible pressure.

Paye looked up at his teammates and found that there was no good passing position, so he could only go it alone.

I saw him start suddenly, pretending to overtake from the outside, and Lucky's footsteps also suddenly accelerated.

But the next second, Payet suddenly flicked the ball with his left foot, trying to get past Lekai behind him.

But Lucky's reaction was extremely alert.

The rhythm under his feet changed, and he suddenly completed an emergency stop, just in the position where Payet was hitting the ball.

The ball hit Lucky's feet and flew behind him.

Lekai immediately turned around to chase the ball, while Paye also stood there, looking up in pain.

Seeing this scene, the fans couldn't help feeling a little distressed for Paye.

This breakthrough player who is invincible in Ligue 1 is completely misfiring in the face of Lekai.

And Lucky looked up after he got the ball.

Immediately, he directly lifted his left foot and made a long pass to find Podolski who was fast forward.

Podolski secretly praised Le Kai's pass, and after easily unloading the ball, he cut directly inside.

This inward cut blocked the only way for the opponent's full-back Fani, his footsteps stopped, the rhythm was chaotic, and the two positions were directly pulled away, and he could no longer chase back.

Podolski ran towards the penalty area at full speed, and at the last moment, he crossed the ball.

This kick has a slight arc, just around the opponent's central defender Lucas Mendes.

Suarez fell to the ground with Nkulu on his back.

The ball rubbed against the protective line of the soleplate and showed a slight refraction, hit the goal post on the right, and bounced into the net!

34 minutes in the first half, Arsenal took the lead to score!

"Suarez!! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!"

"The Uruguayan broke the 34-minute stalemate and scored his first Champions League goal of the season. He helped Arsenal score the first goal!"

"Podolski's cross ball is beautiful, and of course Kai's long ball is also beautiful!"

"Cheers guys! Arsenal are leading away!"

Across North London, Arsenal fans who were watching this game were instantly boiling.

Countless arms were raised high, and their cheers converged.

go ahead! Gunner!

In the second half, Arsenal did not make any adjustments, and Wenger still trusted Arsenal's players.

On the other hand, Marseille has made some adjustments, and they have strengthened some offensive capabilities.

But there are gains and losses.

The strengthening of the offensive end will inevitably draw the strength of the defensive end.

In the case that Arsenal's back line was still able to withstand the situation, the strikers counterattacked frantically.

77 minutes, Podolski finally ushered in his Champions League goal!

A single-handed ball formed by Cazorla's second pass.

Podolski didn't waste the opportunity, shot decisively and extended the score.

After 80 minutes, Wenger started to make substitutions and let go.

Two substitutions have all strengthened the defensive ability.

However, Marseille still scored a face-saving goal in injury time.

This was also the last goal of the game.

The 90-minute game is over.

Marseille 1:2 Arsenal, suffered a defeat in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

In the post-match press conference, Marseille head coach Eli Pope said bitterly:

"Our attack has been ineffective. In fact, before I started, I was thinking about how to break through Arsenal's defense, but obviously, we couldn't do it. But this game gave me some inspiration, I think In one round, I knew how to play against Arsenal's midfielders!"

In this regard, Wenger said gracefully:

"We welcome the challenge of any team, Arsenal will not be afraid of any group stage opponent, we will win every game. As you can see, we are good now, never been better!"

Next, Wenger returned to some questions about Lucky.

"Kay doesn't have any core position at the moment, he still needs to grow, he still has a lot of talent to tap, of course he performed very well on the defensive end, which is also the key to Arsenal's ability to win. In the future, Kai will move towards I can't give a positive answer in which direction, but his future is something we can all look forward to!"

"There is also the issue of Kai's contract. We have signed a five-year contract, but we will prepare a new one this season. As you can see, his income is not enough to match his performance."

"How much he paid, we will give him how much, as for the amount, we will not reveal it!"

After , Wenger got up and left!

He led the Arsenal players to leave France that night, ready to face the next league.
