Chapter 376 Wearing the Crotch
After a short test, Chelsea and Arsenal suddenly picked up the pace, both sides attacked and defended each other, but failed to score a goal.
Both sides played very well on the defensive end.
Chelsea's backline and Arsenal's defensive linkage, they use different tactics to play, but they achieve the same purpose.
Chelsea's coach, Mourinho's head followed the ball back and forth.
The rhythm of the game in the field accelerated, and at the same time, the two sides also began to compete for the rhythm of the midfield.
Arsenal invests a lot in the midfield and wants to get the rhythm of the midfield.
Four aggressive frontcourts + a defensive midfielder with Lekai.
This combination makes Arsenal's midfield look extremely solid.
If another team had this formation, Mourinho would have given the offensive order without hesitation, smashed the opponent's midfielder to the death, and directly beat the opponent's key link badly.
But not Arsenal!
In other words, Arsenal with Lucky can't do it!
"They are a single midfielder, and we can attack both ends very strongly!"
Chelsea's assistant coach suggested.
Hearing this, Mourinho shook his head decisively and said: "No! Once we strengthen the offensive firepower at both ends, Arsenal will inevitably compete for the midfield rhythm. Once the midfield rhythm is controlled by Arsenal, we will fall into a very passive situation. ."
"Bayern's game last season was a lesson. Why did they lose? It was because they relied too much on two flanks and wanted to use their strongest spear to break Arsenal's defense."
"Bayern's approach is certainly not wrong, but they underestimated Kai's role!"
Mourinho said with a serious look: "Let's not mention Kai's stealing and interception ability for the time being, his linkage defense and limiting effect in the midfield and backcourt will make us suffer enough!"
"Kay completed 179 steals last season, with an average of 4.7 steals per game. The number of interceptions was 156, with an average of 4.2 successful interceptions. It can be said that Kai destroyed the opponent's offense 9 times per game! "
"And last season, he had 98 and 87 interceptions."
Mourinho sighed to the sky: "It has doubled in just one season!"
The assistant coach opened his mouth slightly, he looked extremely surprised.
What surprised him was not Luckey's statistics, but that Mourinho could accurately say Lucky's steals and interceptions in a single season.
This is only on the defensive end, I believe the data on the offensive end is also engraved in Mourinho's head.
The whole world knows that Mourinho likes Luckey very much, but they don't know how much Mourinho likes Luckey.
Can accurately say Lucky's number of steals and interceptions in a single season and even various data, which is beyond the level of so-called 'concern'.
The assistant coach looked at Mourinho with complicated eyes.
Recently, the relationship between Mourinho and the club has become a little tense again.
The character of this Portuguese madman is just unwilling to bow his head, and the club owner is also a tough guy.
Although the two have had two brief honeymoon periods, it only takes a little crack, and the relationship will immediately drop to freezing point.
Like last season, Chelsea failed to win the Premier League title, despite the FA Cup cover, but the Russian tycoon is still very dissatisfied.
helps the coach to look at the pitch, he is looking at the Arsenal number 4.
To be honest, as a coach, although I don't like Arsenal very much, I have to admit that Le Kai is excellent!
boom!
Lekai got ahead of Costa and completed the clearance again.
Costa landed, and he seemed a little resentful because he had lost the physical confrontation.
Of course, it was not a loss, because the two did not really form a confrontation. Lekai more accurately grasped the landing point of the ball and the timing of the take-off, and completed the clearance.
But even so, Costa felt irritable.
His position is high, and Lekai will impose strict air defense restrictions on him, and if he is to be behind, Arsenal has another 'high guy' Mertesacker!
These two have great restrictions on Costa!
"Mourinho's Chelsea are still thinking about how to counterattack quickly, to score goals through sharp counterattacks, but their attack is always limited in midfield."
Andy Gray said: "Costa is frozen!"
But is Costa really frozen?
In this matter, Lucky has the most say!
After landing, Lucky ran a few steps forward, then took a few deep breaths while clutching his waist, and felt pain.
During the confrontation, Lucky's waist was hit hard by Costa's elbow.
This made him almost breathless.
Even with Lucky's physical fitness, he still felt a lot of pressure when facing this beast Costa.
This guy's physical ability is too strong, if it wasn't for Lucky's ability to better grasp the placement and timing, Lucky would likely be at a disadvantage in pure physical confrontation.
Breath~~~ Breathe~~~
Lucky took a long deep breath again, and then looked forward.
Because of the back position, Lucky has a wide field of vision, and he can clearly see the positions of Arsenal and Chelsea.
At the same time, some loopholes and neutrals can also be seen, but unfortunately these neutrals are fleeting.
Chelsea still maintains a strict distance in the process of constant lateral movement.
Especially at the back line, it was as if they were tied together with ropes, and the four of them moved in unison, almost advancing and retreating together.
This also caused Arsenal's attack to play more and more laboriously.
As for Lucky's long pass, it was basically sealed.
Ivanovic and Azpilicueta are not full-backs who like to take the initiative, which also causes them to live in the backcourt for a long time.
In addition, Chelsea are afraid of Lucky's long pass, so they don't give a chance to play behind them at all.
The current Arsenal can only push through constant passing.
Cazorla was running hard and he could feel the pressure on Chelsea's defence increasing.
This also puts pressure on Arsenal's passing rhythm in the frontcourt, from the first one-footed pass to a two-footed pass.
It is even necessary to complete the guarding and getting rid of the ball sometimes, but under this pressure, it cannot be maintained for a long time.
Too much pressure!
Cazorla saw that the attack was hopeless, turned decisively, and reorganized after preparing to pass back.
Cazorla turned to look at Lucky.
Lucky is also ready to catch the ball at any time.
Just when Cazorla wanted to pass back, and his feet had already touched the ball, he was hit hard.
This collision directly affected Cazorla's pass, and the ball was slightly off the angle.
At the same time, Cesc Fabregas, who collided, dashed towards the ball.
Lucky was also the first to start.
The two rushed towards the ball from different directions, but due to the rolling direction of the ball, Lucky was obviously faster.
However, from the visual point of view, the moment Luckey touched the ball, Cesc Fabregas could also kill.
The scene suddenly became tense.
Fabregas is rushing towards the ball, at the same time, Oscar and Hazard are moving forward in parallel, Costa and Schurle are ready to plug in at any time.
It can be said that Cesc Fabregas only needs to pass Lekai, or to kick the ball forward is a very rare threat attack for Chelsea.
All held their breaths.
Chelsea fans wish Cesc Fabregas success.
And Arsenal fans are staring at Le Kai, they are also very nervous, Le Kai is a good player in steals and interceptions, but his dribbling level is not very high.
What will Lucky do?
Under the gaze of a pair of eyes, Lucky came to the ball first. They saw Lucky and anxious to control the ball, but the frequency of his feet changed, and the whole body became light and small steps.
The left foot is raised dexterously, and the sole of the foot steps on the ball and pulls it.
At this moment, Cesc Fabregas also rushed in front of Le Kai, facing the ball Le Kai pulled past, and immediately stretched out his foot to stab it out.
Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes.
Fabregas' feet are getting closer and closer to the ball.
Between the lightning and flint, Lucky's left foot suddenly changed the action of pulling the ball and pushed forward.
The ball actually slipped under Cesc Fabregas' crotch, and Luckey's huge body was also slightly shorter, lightly avoiding the impact of Cesc Fabregas.
Fabregas was pierced!
"Out of the crotch! Cesc Fabregas was tricked!!"
Andy Gray shouted suddenly.
