Strong Waist

September 15th, the fifth round of the Premier League, Newcastle United VS Arsenal.

The game time has come to 67 minutes, and the current score is still 1:1.

In the first half, Arsenal scored the first goal with the help of Giroud, but the Magpies followed closely and relied on a counterattack opportunity to equalize the score at the last moment of the first half.

After entering the second half, the Magpies still adopted the 4-4-1-1 position, sitting back and shrinking the defense as a whole.

They didn't have too much offensive intentions, as if they could accept it as long as they got a draw.

On the other hand, Arsenal wants to win the game, but so far, they have been unable to make an effective push.

At 70 minutes into the game, the situation on the field was still stalemate.

Young players such as Odegaard and Saka faced a problem for the first time. Faced with the opponent's strict defense, it was really difficult for them to break the opponent's goal.

In this situation, the overall rhythm and offense became relatively chaotic.

Especially in the continuing rigid situation, Odegaard's anxious mood led him to set the pace a little too fast, and sometimes even made some erroneous passes.

For example, this time, there were clearly two defensive players in front of them, and they were also close to each other, forming a closing position.

But Odegaard still took the risk of passing through. The pass was undoubtedly intercepted by the opponent, and he immediately launched a dangerous counterattack.

If it weren't for Hummels' decisive foul, this might have resulted in a Magpies comeback goal.

Seeing this scene, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray also lamented: "Under the pressure of continuing to be unable to open up the situation, Odegaard and Saka looked a little impatient. We understand their mentality of wanting to score. I also understand that they are in a hurry now, but these things cannot affect the game itself. "

Richard: "These are young players who still need some training and honing. However, in the previous two rounds, the performances of Odegaard and Saka were exciting enough, but they still need to gain more experience in the competition. Is it time for Arsenal to make a substitution now?”

The two commentators could see through the big screen that Arsenal's coaching bench had begun to make substitution adjustments.

There is no doubt that Lucky went into battle.

After two consecutive rounds of rest, Lucai's body has gained enough training, and it's time to come out and exercise.

Seeing Lucky stand up, the Arsenal fans at the scene burst into violent cheers.

Although the situation has been slow to open up, they are not in a hurry because they know very well that Arsenal has someone who can take the lead.

Just like now, when the situation becomes rigid, Mourinho will inevitably send Lucky on.

"Attack from the wing, you can also try to move closer to the center. My suggestion is to focus on their right wing. Their full-back Dumet is not flexible enough and his turn is relatively slow. You can follow Mane Cooperate.”

Lucky nodded when he heard this, he knew what to do.

"Okay! Get ready to play!"

Mourinho patted Lucky on the shoulder and immediately signaled a substitution.

Soon after the ball was dead, the referee signaled that substitutions could be made.

Odegaard walked off the court with his head down. The guy looked very frustrated.

Facing the iron wall of Newcastle United, it is really difficult for him to break this deadlock, which was also the case when facing Cardiff City before.

But he was lucky at that time, and a shot helped him open up the situation, but this time it was different.

Newcastle United's defense needs to be more thorough and does not give them too many chances.

Odegaard's current abilities cannot break this rigid situation.

"Well played!"

When the two high-fived, Lucky patted Odegaard's head again to comfort him.

Then he ran into the court.

Seeing Lucky running into the stadium, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.

Especially the Magpie players, all of them frowned and the corners of their mouths turned bitter.

They all had the word helplessness written on their faces.

If possible, they hope that Arsenal can send Lucky to play later, but obviously Arsenal wants to get three points.

Wilshere walked by, personally put on the captain's armband for Lucky, and whispered:

"No. 14 on the other side has a lot of little tricks on his hands and likes to pull people around. Please pay attention!"

Lucky looked at No. 14 on the opposite side. He remembered it was an English player named Hayden.

The body is tall and thin, giving people a very explosive feeling, but he is a low back sweeper.

This guy inherits the traditional English football style and his playing style is very wild.

But Lucai is not afraid of these. What he is least afraid of is this kind of small actions.

"Okay, guys! There are still nearly 20 minutes left, cheer up, pay attention to your running and positioning, let's score another one!"

After Lucai came on the scene, the overall atmosphere completely changed.

For Arsenal, the presence of Lucky is a huge motivation in itself.

Therefore, these simple words still boosted the morale of the gunners.

The commentator who saw this scene was also filled with emotion.

"This is the role of a leader! He just came on the stage and shouted a few words without seeing Kai do anything, but it greatly promoted the overall morale!" Andy Gray continued: "And not just these, Kai has a great impact on the game. I think Newcastle United need to increase their defensive investment in the midfield. Kai is not a young player like Odegaard. Once he is given a chance, he is really good. It will break the Magpies’ goal!”

Arsenal's sideline ball, Lucky ran to the sideline to prepare for the ball.

At this time, Newcastle United's No. 14 player Hayden also looked at Lucky warily.

Hayden doesn't dare to be careless at all. Lucky is not Odegaard. That kind of young player is easy to target. Even if he is stimulated with words, he may explode directly.

But Lucky is not that easy to deal with.

However, Hayden still felt that he could limit Lucky.

After all, his task in this game is to mark people, to focus on Arsenal's core point of holding the ball.

Before, he restricted Odegaard very well, but now his target has become Lucky.

Seeing Lucky running to catch the ball, Bellerin threw the ball directly to Lucky out of trust.

The ball was thrown just right, just enough for Lucky to stop the ball easily.

At this time, Hayden immediately pressed Lucky from behind and pushed Lucky with all his strength.

Normally, Lucky would fight, but this time, Lucky didn't mean to fight at all. He took small steps under his feet. The moment the opponent pushed, his body jumped up slightly, following the force of Hayden's pushing. , his body moved forward, and after pulling away, he buckled his feet and immediately wiped away from the crowd.

By the time Hayden reacted, he could no longer catch up.

"It's so relaxing!"

Watching Lucky easily separate the ball from the crowd and move it to a safe position, Andy Gray couldn't help but exclaim.

Lucky's ability to protect the ball has always been very good, but the most critical thing is that Lucky can still complete wonderful transfers in tight situations or when he is surrounded by the opponent.

And this transfer is a signal to attack.

It's this kind of transfer that Arsenal lacked before.

The ball flew to Mane's feet, and Mane strode forward with almost no hesitation.

Shaking his upper body left and right, with the opponent's full-back's center of gravity clearly on the inside, Mane further spiked the ball and hit the bottom along the outside line.

When he was about to approach the bottom line, Mane dunked his foot.

The ball immediately flew into the penalty area.

Giroud had to turn around during the confrontation with the opponent, and this turn caused his back to the goal.

However, he was not in a hurry and immediately sent the ball backward.

"Danger!

Kai is there!

"

The Newcastle goalkeeper roared, and the defenders were startled. They rushed towards Lucky, blocking and trying to press.

At this time, the restricted area was in chaos.

Lucky looked at the chaos with cold eyes, raised his right leg high and slowly lowered it, and pushed his temper to the left.

The ball just passed through the chaotic crowd and reached the back point.

Saka beat the horse and killed him.

There was almost an empty goal in front of him. Saka, who had been extremely depressed throughout the game, hit a powerful shot from such a close range.

Uh-huh!

!

The net was jacked up high.

This shot also vented the accumulated frustration of Saka and the Arsenal players.

Lucky completed an assist as soon as he came on the field, and Arsenal also got the goal as he wished.
