Chapter 175 Retreat
Lekai's foresight talent also has prerequisites. If Bayern Munich has no intention of passing the ball, Lekai can't tell which side to attack from.
Therefore, Lucky's previous choice was to stand in the middle, interfere and defend together.
But in this way, the effect of his single midfielder is completely useless.
It is impossible to sweep in the midfield, and the ball easily passes through the defensive section of Lucky, so that the Arsenal defenders are directly exposed to the opponent's offensive line.
As Wenger said, he is a bit of a bully.
I want to form a greater threat in the position of the midfielder, defend and attack.
But sometimes, you have to give up some things, actively join the team, and undertake your own necessary work.
Football is a sport of 11 people, each with their own tasks and abilities.
Arsenal plays team football!
"Guardiola accurately found the problem with Arsenal, Kai's speed has become the shortcoming of Arsenal's current midfield sweeping tactics!"
"If this problem is not solved, Arsenal's overall lineup will collapse in the middle!"
Both commentators said worriedly.
And the Arsenal fans who were watching the game were equally worried.
Lekai has always been Arsenal's brightest player, but they didn't expect that one day Lekai would become a shortcoming.
Lekai's speed is not fast. This is something that many Arsenal fans know. After all, this thing can't be practiced.
Guardiola captured this link accurately, and then gave Arsenal a hard blow.
Now it's up to Arsenal to respond.
The game restarted. Arsenal took the lead in kick-off. After the ball was passed to Luckey's feet, Luckey continued to pass back, then turned to retreat, crossed the rib area, and stood directly in front of the two central defenders.
Seeing this scene, Andy Gray's eyes lit up and said: "It's a very practical way, Kai retreats and increases the vertical running ability on both sides, which can give Arsenal enough time to deal with it."
Richard had a different opinion.
"But in this way, Bayern's midfield will attack aggressively, after all, Arsenal's midfield is empty!"
Yes, Lucky's retreat caused him to be too far away from Cazorla, forming a hollow in the midfield.
Bayern Munich's Kroos also saw this scene, he was a little surprised.
Is this a trap?
But even if it is a trap, he has to step into it.
After all, such a large area is not used, it is simply too uncomfortable.
Bayern's midfielder stepped forward as a whole, forming an upward pressure situation.
Cross sat in the middle lane and began to constantly sort out the organization.
But as he stepped into the Arsenal half, he felt more pressure.
Cazorla, Walcott, Chamberlain, and Rosicky all retreated to press.
This pressing is familiar to them, somewhat similar to Dortmund.
But it is faster than Dortmund's pressing.
That is like a mad dog, constantly chasing after them and barking!
Kroos passed the ball to Martinez, who returned it quickly.
The reason is very simple, Suarez and Walcott ran directly at him, forcing him to pass back.
Cross passed the ball to Gotze again, hoping that the latter would gain more time with the ball and slow down the rhythm through the technique of his feet.
But Gotze got the ball and Chamberlain took the lead.
Chamberlain's pressing is unreasonable. This guy keeps feeding Gotze with his body, hoping to disrupt the rhythm of his feet.
But Gotze was also very strong, until Rosicky hit it and stabbed the ball with his right foot, breaking the ball directly.
"Arsenal steals the ball!"
After a fierce pressing, Arsenal finally got the ball.
But instead of pushing forward for the first time, they passed the ball to Cazorla.
Cazorla turned around and passed it back to Lucky.
Lekai took a high ball against the ball and transferred it to Walcott on the left.
Walcott wanted to start, but found that two Bayern players had rushed over, so while unloading the ball, he knocked the ball horizontally to Cazorla.
Cazorla shifted to the right, Chamberlain returned a pass to Lucky, and immediately turned around to start.
At this time, Lucky also passed the ball to the front of Chamberlain's advance.
Chamberlain was very fast, he was at the same speed as Walcott.
In two simple steps, Martinez was thrown away, and he sprinted towards the bottom line frantically.
Bayern Munich were quickly returning to defense, and they did not panic.
As he was about to face Lahm, Chamberlain knocked the ball across to Suarez.
Suarez took the ball sideways, hooked and pushed with his right foot, and turned around!
But he was just about to start when Dante pushed him down.
"Hey!"
Suarez lay on the ground and raised his hand.
The whistle followed.
The referee showed the first yellow card of the game, Dante blocked the foul.
But Dante has no complaints about it. If Suarez turned around just now, it would be really troublesome.
Arsenal got a set-piece opportunity about 40 meters away.
Cazorla was about to walk to the penalty spot when Luckey stepped forward.
"I'll take the penalty, you go to the front!"
Le Kai went straight to the penalty spot after speaking.
Cazorla ran forward without saying a word.
Lucky cannot go forward because he needs to block the opponent's attack.
Especially in the case of Mertesacker going up for the top, Luckey must stay on the defensive end.
Standing at the penalty spot, Le Kai looked at the players on both sides who were standing on the line of the penalty area, ready to move.
Lucky's eyes were the first to find Mertesacker.
After all, this is Arsenal's strongest header contender at the moment.
But Bayern Munich obviously understands this, so the defense of Mertesacker is extremely tight.
Lucky looked at Suarez, Cazorla, Waltek and others again, but still felt that Mertesacker was more stable.
Thinking of this, Lucky decided to run.
bump!
The ball flew to the big penalty area, not far from the goal. Bayern goalkeeper Neuer also hesitated and stayed in the goal to defend.
Mertesacker, Dante and Boateng are all rushing to the first spot.
But Mertesacker's take-off point was earlier. Before the two Bayern and two central defenders had reached the take-off point, Mertesacker stepped on the ground with one foot and his body suddenly pulled out.
The whole person jumped high, and even performed a lateral shift in the air.
Bayern's two central defenders panicked.
They didn't expect Mertesacker to take off so early and at a high altitude.
This makes it difficult for them to limit after each other takes off.
In the end, the two tightly surrounded Mertesacker in the middle. When Dante took off, he stretched his arms slightly and hit Mertesacker's abdomen heavily with his elbows.
Mertesacker's body naturally appeared in a rickety shape, and the ball that was supposed to be hit once was on the scalp, refracted, and flew backwards.
Now, everyone Ullala rushed back.
But Suarez was already standing there.
Looking at the incoming ball, Suarez raised his hips sideways, raised his right foot, and twisted his waist to complete the volley.
Snapped!
crisp sound.
The ball hit Neuer's glove and flew into the penalty area again.
Lam looked at the ball bouncing under his feet, he forced the brakes, and immediately raised his right foot, trying to make a clearance with an extremely awkward movement.
But as soon as Ram raised his legs, a figure jumped out from behind.
Yes! Just jumping out.
Chamberlain's face was hideous, and his eyes were only **** at this time.
He knew that this move was dangerous and there was a risk of getting a headshot.
But it is the so-called wealth and risk seeking.
Faced with such an opportunity, any striker will fight for it.
Chamberlain got closer and closer to the ball, his whole head was over Rahm's body.
Ram's pupils shrank.
Originally raised his right foot, subconsciously withdrew his strength.
bump!
The sound of hitting the ball.
Snapped!
Chamberlain felt a sharp pain in the bridge of his nose, and there was a smell of fishy sweetness in his throat.
Chamberlain landed heavily, and he couldn't help crying.
But his wailing was quickly suppressed by the frenzied cheers from the scene.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!"
"Teenager Oxlade-Chamberlain! Wenger's choice is correct, he scored a crucial equalizer for Arsenal!"
In 43 minutes of the first half, Arsenal drew with Bayern Munich 1:1!
Chamberlain lay on the ground, he covered his nose, he felt the bridge of his nose was broken.
But soon, his teammates rushed over.
They wanted to find Chamberlain to celebrate, but seeing the **** face of this guy, they couldn't help but stop.
Lucky also ran over quickly.
Lucky squatted in front of Chamberlain and briefly checked the bridge of his nose.
"It didn't break! Just got kicked out of a nosebleed, and Ram stopped!"
Lucky could see clearly that Ram stopped his feet.
Chamberlain covered his nose with a look of disbelief; "It really doesn't break? Why does it hurt so much?"
Le Kai patted Zhang Bolun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Man! You scored!"
Chamberlain then reacted.
Yes!
He scored!
This is a Champions League goal!
