Chapter 33 The First Show Ended
Chapter 33 The first show ended
The equaliser in the first half lifted the spirits of the Arsenal players.
After entering the locker room, Wenger clapped his hands to cheer everyone up and made persistent efforts in the second half.
Wenger did not make any tactical changes. The first half has fully explained the problem. It is Leeds United who needs to change if they still want to win.
Lucky didn’t say a word, he wanted to rest well.
The price of running frantically in the first half is severe physical consumption.
Especially the 300-meter sprint in the final stage of the continuous turnaround consumes a lot of physical energy.
“Hey guy!”
Arshavin handed over the energy drink.
Lucky took it and spit it out, but didn’t drink it.
Arshavin glanced at Le Kai and said, “You really fought hard in the first half!”
Hearing this, the others nodded slightly.
Strictly speaking, the change point in the first half came from Lucky’s crazy run.
Ubiquitous defensive and offensive plug-in.
No one dares to say that Lucky’s sprint to the side is useless. If you can invest an extra force in the attack, the striker will be smiling.
And Lucky’s movement is not only useful, but also involves a certain amount of defensive power.
But the problem still exists, can you stick to it in the second half?
To this, Le Kai said: “Want to bet? See if you can’t run first or I can’t run first?”
Arshavin raised his eyebrows; “What are you betting on?”
Le Kai slapped his thigh and said, “The loser will post a video of Madonna dancing on social platforms, dare you?”
Arshavin was taken aback.
Let him, a big man, learn to dance like Madonna, isn’t it difficult for him.
But at this time, the teammates have already begun to boo.
“Andre, don’t be afraid! Bet with him!”
“Bet! Bet! Andre, we believe in you!”
“I bet you can succeed!”
Looking at the booing teammates, Arshavin was angry.
He pointed to Lucky and said, “Does this guy have a social account? Even if he does, can he have a few fans?”
Le Kai raised his chest and said, “Don’t say so much, just ask if you dare?”
To tell the truth, Arshavin was cowardly.
But under the booing of his teammates, he could only bite the bullet and nod.
There is no way to get the atmosphere here.
And when Arshavin nodded, the audience cheered:
“Happy! Be sure to win him!”
“I want to see Andre dance!”
“Learn to dance with Madonna, hahahaha!”
Arshavin was very happy, and laughed and scolded; “You traitors! Why didn’t I win?”
“I still love watching you dance!”
“Andre is going to dance with his **** twisted!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you forward it!”
Arshavin scolded; “Thank you! No need!”
There was a commotion in the locker room.
Wenger folded his arms and leaned against the wall at the door, watching this scene with a smile.
He didn’t know how long it had been since he experienced such a relaxed atmosphere in the locker room.
Patrice came over and smiled; “They’re different.”
Wenger ticked slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, “A group of children!”
After , he turned his head and asked, “Who do you want to see dance? Le or Andre?”
Patrice was silent for a moment; “Andre!”
Wenger nodded in agreement; “Me too!”
In the second half, the two sides switched sides and fought again.
Leeds United made some adjustments, they arranged one more person on the forward line.
Mike. Mark, the speed is slightly slower than Townsend, but in order to help Townsend attract Lucky’s defensive attention.
But the stronger the attack, must lose the strength of other positions.
Leeds United with three midfielders has begun to lose control of the midfield situation.
And Arteta, in the case of an advantage, no longer gives the opponent the opportunity to play comfortably.
Wants to directly block the connection of Leeds United’s midfield and frontcourt.
And he did.
Relying on the crazy running and pressing of Lucky and Ramsey, together with Chamberlain and Kirkland, the midfield of Leeds United was constantly forced to retreat, and it was impossible to send the ball out through penetration.
In terms of long passes, Arsenal will use the advantage of numbers to directly get stuck, and Leeds United has become extremely passive for a while.
But Leeds United is a team that dares to gamble, they still launched a very aggressive attack.
If you want to win the game, you must take risks.
But it is a pity that Arsenal did not give them this opportunity.
Lucky and Chamberlain attacked back and forth, directly stealing the ball from McMack’s feet.
Lekai held the ball, Arteta retraced to get the ball.
But instead of passing it right away, he looked ahead over Arteta.
He saw that Arsenal’s two strikers had begun to move.
Le Kai said nothing, his legs were full like bowstrings, and his right foot slammed on the ball.
At the same time, Arshavin also activated instantly.
The ball crosses a graceful curve in the air.
This is a diagonal pass with a distance of about 40 meters.
When Arshavin ran in place, the ball was just at an angle for a direct cross.
The Leeds United defender has caught up to him, ready to tackle.
Arshavin made a quick decision and passed the ball directly.
Facing the point where the ball falls, the arch of the foot is pushed hard.
The ball changed its flight direction and flew towards the big penalty area.
Over there, Henry has already inserted himself into place.
The terrified Leeds United goalkeeper rushed towards Henry, then suddenly fell diagonally, trying to block the angle.
But Henry’s raised right foot jolted slightly in the air.
The ball flew over the goalkeeper’s head and went straight into the goal.
67 minutes, Henry scored twice!
Gunner Henry ran to the corner, put his hand by his ear, and faced the fans.
‘What about your cheers? ’
Wow! ! ! !
Henry! ! —
“This is Henry! The second goal! He is the king of the Gunners!”
George Adams jumped up directly, stepping on the chair to vent frantically.
He hasn’t been this crazy for a long time, but this goal, he has to be like this to vent.
And so did the fans at the scene.
After the goal, the fans were so excited that they almost fainted.
The perfect comeback show!
Henry at this moment reproduces the brilliance of the Gunners!
In the stands, there are crazy shouting fans all around.
They were shouting the name of ‘Henry’, and bursts of roars rushed towards the stadium like a tide.
Kevin was a little unhappy.
He glanced at his father.
Billy was screaming with excitement.
Henry!
Henry!
Henry!
Kevin pouted and whispered; “It’s obviously Le’s best performance!”
From stealing to attacking, these are all thanks to Lucky, why is no one calling his name?
Just because he is a midfielder?
Or because Lucky is a newcomer?
Kevin is a Gunners fan, but he doesn’t have much feeling for Henry.
He did not witness Henry’s glory.
For him, Henry is more like a character in a history textbook.
The teachers would say he was a legend, so he thought it was a legend too.
He would give the legend due respect, but not so much emotion.
On the contrary, Kevin felt that Lucky was the most critical person.
He believes that the change in Arsenal comes from Lucky.
Although he didn’t score!
No assists either!
But who can deny his worth?
“What a bad debut!” Kevin complained.
In the coaching bench, Wenger also touched his chin and showed a wry smile.
He shook his head and sighed; “I hope he won’t blame me.”
He never thought that Lucky’s performance in this game would be so amazing.
Data says it all.
Currently has two steals, two interceptions, one instigated offense and scored a goal.
These stats rarely appear on a debut player.
But Lucky used his performance to tell Wenger that he has a big heart.
Such performance is enough to make fans remember him and identify with him.
But because of Henry’s return to the show, no matter how amazing Lekai’s performance is, he is still a supporting role.
The second goal made Leeds’ morale plummet.
Neither side was able to score until the end of the game.
The 90-minute game is over, and Lucky is his first show.
He followed the players to the locker room.
During the period, there was applause from the arena.
But Lucky didn’t take it too seriously, he knew that the applause wasn’t for himself.
However, when Lucky was about to walk into the player tunnel, the applause suddenly became violent.
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!
This made Le Kai stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked left and right.
Henry has already entered!
But the next second, the applause on both sides became more enthusiastic, and it was also accompanied by whistles and praise.
“Hey! Man! You’re doing a great job!”
“You totally lost Townsend!”
“Beautiful defense!”
“Number Four! I’ll come to see you in the next game! Come on!”
“You didn’t embarrass this jersey! Without Henry, you would be the best in the game!”
Le Kai looked up, the fans on both sides leaned out, they kept applauding and cheering.
Although this is Henry’s comeback show.
Although it was a debut that was destined to never be remembered.
But there are still fans who saw Lucky’s excellent performance.
“Hey!”
A smile appeared on Le Kai’s face, he raised his right hand towards the stand, clenched it into a fist, and waved it vigorously.
The applause became more intense.
And Lekai also bathed in applause and walked into the jersey aisle.
2011/2012 season FA Cup third round Arsenal 2-1 Leeds United, smooth promotion.
