Strong Waist

"Kai~~Long shot~~~Oh~~it was just a little bit short! It missed the beam and flew out!"

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Paul Merson shook his head with regret, and immediately cheered up: "Although he failed to score, it also said that Kai was in a hot state in this game, and this was the second kick he tried. , The quality of both long-range shots was very good, but they failed to score!”

Dixon also nodded and said: "Wenger should have given Kai the right to fire to a certain extent! In fact, since the beginning of the league, we can see that Kai often attempts long-range shots. Google search to read"

Paul Merson said; "As a defensive midfielder, strong feet and long-range shooting ability are extremely necessary things. This can not only increase their arsenal, but also pose a threat to the opponent's goal from the far end! Obviously, Wenger It’s not just about making Kai a defensive midfielder!”

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

On the sidelines, Wenger also nodded slightly.

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

Although it failed to score a goal, it put a certain amount of pressure on Marseille.

Lucky's two long-range shots told Marseille that even if they don't enter the penalty area, they still have the ability to penetrate the goal.

"Don't let him get up!!"

Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda roared angrily. These two long-range shots were of high quality. If he wasn't on guard, it would be terrible when he found this guy!

Marseille's defenders also frowned.

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

Even more so than Lucky.

It's hard enough for them to guard these people, so there's no time to limit Lucky.

But that being said, the restrictions must still be limited.

Lucky cruised near the outside of the penalty area, constantly looking for opportunities.

Seeing no opportunity to cut inside, Walcott passed the ball to Lucky.

Lucky caught the ball and flicked the ball horizontally.

But at this moment, two Marseille players came over decisively.

A defender, a midfielder, attacking from both sides!

Lucky couldn't take off the ball. He tried his best to protect the ball and hastily distributed the ball.

After passing the ball, Lucai put his hands on his hips and shook his head.

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 had been targeted, Lucai no longer missed the chance of a long shot, but retreated to the opponent's rib area to prepare for the interception.

"Kai retreated. It seemed that he couldn't find a good opportunity, so he took the initiative to retreat and join the defense. Marseille also breathed a sigh of relief!"

Sky Sports commentator Paul Mawson said.

This is indeed the case for Marseille. Lucky's retracement means that they can concentrate on defending the inside of the penalty area.

Arsenal's repeated inside cuts failed to produce any results.

After Suarez barely completed a shot attempt, Marseille goalkeeper Mandanda knocked the ball away with both fists. Marseille defender Nkulu stopped the ball with his chest and immediately found Payet with his big foot.

Payet is running towards the ball landing point with all his strength.

But he was not relaxed, because there was an Arsenal No. 4 tightly stuck to his side!

Lucky and Payet were constantly fighting, and both of them arrived at the landing point immediately.

But Lucky's movements were obviously faster. He jumped directly into the air and opened his arms slightly to prevent Payet from taking off.

Due to Lucky's interference, Payet was unable to take off and could only raise his head, hoping that Lucky would make a mistake in his judgment.

But this is impossible.

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

"Paye, you can't compete!!"

Sky Sports commentator Paul Merson's tone was full of ridicule, and his heart felt as sweet as honey.

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

Arsenal's away fans applauded.

Lucky's strong interception ability in the midfield directly blocked Marseille's counterattack ability.

If the ball can't be passed, how can we counterattack!

The Marseille fans' stands were also noisy!

"Shit, why is it this guy again!"

"Why is he everywhere?"

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

"Valbuena, do something useful!"

But clearly, these people are in trouble.

Marseille's core player Valbuena played very unpleasantly. As soon as he got the ball, two Arsenal players would come over and press him crazily.

There is also Lucky who is watching eagerly and constantly predicts and intercepts.

Lucky has appeared on the path of passing the ball several times, which also made Valbuena's game uncomfortable.

The French 'Dwarf' was in great trouble.

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

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

Lucky didn't know if it was his own illusion. Anyway, Marseille didn't feel like a second-tier team in the Champions League.

The ball was passed to Payet again.

Lucky saw this scene and immediately blocked it from the front.

Lucky followed closely behind him.

Seeing Lucky approaching, Paye also felt invisible pressure.

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

He suddenly started to move, pretending to overtake from the outer lane, and Lucky's pace suddenly accelerated.

But the next second, Payet suddenly moved the ball with his left foot, trying to get past Lucky.

But Lucky's reaction was extremely astute.

The rhythm of his feet changed, and he suddenly made an emergency stop, just in front of Payet's position to dial the ball.

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

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

Seeing this scene, the fans couldn't help but feel sorry for Payet.

This invincible breakthrough player in French Ligue 1 was completely misfired when facing Lucky.

After Lucky got the ball, he looked up and observed.

Immediately, he directly raised his left foot and accurately found Podolski with a long pass.

Podolski secretly admired Lucky's pass. After easily removing the ball, he cut inside.

This inward cut blocked the path of the opponent's full-back Fani. His footsteps stopped, his rhythm was disrupted, and he was directly separated by two bodies. He could no longer pursue the ball.

Podolski ran towards the penalty area at full speed, and at the last minute, he passed the ball across the ball.

This kick had a slight arc and just bypassed the opponent's center back Lucas Mendes.

Suarez carried Nkulu and fell to the ground to shovel and shoot.

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

In the 34th minute of the first half, Arsenal scored first!

"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 first!"

"Podolski's cross ball was beautiful, and of course Kai's long ball was equally beautiful!"

"Cheers guys! Arsenal are ahead away from home!"

Throughout North London, Arsenal fans who were paying attention to this game immediately became excited.

Countless pairs of arms were raised high, and their cheers gathered together.

go ahead! ! Gunner! ! ——

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

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

But with every gain comes a loss.

Strengthening the offensive end will inevitably draw strength from the defensive end.

While Arsenal's defense could still withstand it, the strikers counterattacked wildly.

In the 77th minute, Podolski finally scored his Champions League goal!

A single goal formed by Cazorla's second pass.

Podolski did not waste the opportunity and shot decisively to expand the score.

After entering the 80th minute, Wenger began to make substitutions and let go more and more.

Two substitutions were made, all of which strengthened the defensive capabilities.

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

This was also the last goal of the game.

The 90-minute game is over.

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

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

"Our offense has been ineffective. In fact, before the performance started, I had been thinking about how to break through Arsenal's defense, but obviously, we failed to do it. However, this game gave me some inspiration. I want to In one round, I knew how to target Arsenal’s midfield!”

In this regard, Wenger said gracefully:

"We welcome challenges from any team. Arsenal will not be afraid of any group stage opponents. We will win every game. As you can see, we are very good now, better than ever before!"

Next, Wenger returned to some questions about Lucky.

"Kay currently does not occupy any core position. He still needs to grow. He still has a lot of talents that can be explored. Of course, he performs very well on the defensive end. This is also the key to Arsenal's current ability to win. In the future, Kai will be heading towards In terms of development, I can’t give a definite answer, but his future is worth looking 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."

"We will give him whatever he pays. As for the amount, we will not disclose it!"

After saying that, Wenger got up and left!

He led the Arsenal players to leave France that night to prepare for the next league match.
