Strong Waist

Chapter 160: Are you going to follow me?

This is a set-piece area located near the penalty area and about 17 meters away from the goal.

Pirlo stood at the penalty spot, looking towards the Arsenal goal, and Pogba stood beside him.

Although many people know that Pogba is likely to be a cover, we still need to be vigilant at this moment.

Navas is commanding the wall.

"A little to the left!"

Lucky, as one of the few tall players in Arsenal, naturally joined the wall.

Vidal came to Lucky's side and looked at the gap between Lucky and Mustafi.

Lucky and Mustafi moved towards each other almost at the same time, bringing the two closer together.

Don't let in!

Vidal would not give up, he wanted to get in.

But Lucai's body was so tight that he refused to give in.

Vidal was a little depressed, and finally he pushed hard in the direction of Mustafi, and then got in.

Now that he has gotten in, Lucai has no choice.

At this time, the referee had already blown the whistle for the free throw.

Pirlo and Pogba retreated almost at the same time.

Everyone's expressions also became solemn.

"Pogba is probably a cover and Pirlo will take the free kick."

After Zhan Jun reported Pirlo's penalty kick data, Arsenal fans felt extremely nervous.

This season, Pirlo took 12 set kicks and scored 5 goals, with a hit rate of 50%.

In this case, Arsenal cannot let down their guard.

At this time, Pogba took the lead.

When Pogba's feet swayed over the ball, Arsenal's wall swayed slightly.

Soon, Pirlo chased the penalty!

Still a typical free kick.

Lucky took off almost simultaneously and relaxed his shoulders as much as possible to increase the defensive area.

He could feel the ball on his shoulder, but when he turned to look at the goal, it had gone in.

And Pirlo had already turned around and ran, taking off in the corner area and shaking his fist in celebration.

“!!!!!!”

"Pirlo, the king of Italian football! Look at this elegant set kick. The ball hit Kai's shoulder and there was a slight change in route, which also caused Navas to fail to save the ball."

"Juventus equalized in the first half!"

The Juventus fans were ecstatic.

Arsenal fans looked miserable.

It was equalized!

Lucky looked at the goal depressedly.

Navas wanted to get up and vent, but after he found out that the target was Lucky, he could only hold back.

However, Arsenal lost the ball, which also brought the game back to the beginning, with both sides returning to the same starting point.

Juventus coach Allegri looked very excited.

As a coach who joined Juventus this season and led the team to the Champions League final, he gained the trust of the entire Juventus in a short period of time.

If he can lead Juventus to win the championship, he will definitely become a legend of Juventus.

And this goal gave him a good start.

Juventus equalized the score.

Now the game is back to the beginning.

And he is confident of beating Arsenal.

On the other hand, Wenger felt a little regretful.

This goal relied entirely on Pirlo's own set-piece ability. Faced with this kind of goal, Arsenal had no way to do it.

They can only try to give the opponent as few set-piece opportunities as possible.

At the same time, he couldn't help but shake his head. If Lucky could have the ability to take a free kick, Arsenal's tactics would become easier.

However, Lucky's long-range shots are good, but the set-piece is not good.

Lucky's long-range shot is a violent shot based on opportunity and suddenness, which is far less elegant and tricky than Pirlo.

Although it is better in terms of suddenness, it is not so easy when the other party is prepared.

Pirlo's goal helped Juventus equalize and also boosted the fans' confidence.

The Italian commentator even laughed and said; "Keye's shot didn't bring them anything. Look at Pirlo's counterattack. This is the performance a midfield master should have. Compared to Pirlo, Keita is too Too immature!"

"I believe that Juventus will perform better in the next games."

This is also true.

When Juventus scored a goal, their offensive momentum was out of control.

The two ball outlets of Pogba and Pirlo provide great help to Juventus' striker.

Lucky almost broke his leg, but he still couldn't completely restrain him.

In the end, Morata gave Juventus the lead with a header.

37 minutes, Juventus 2:1 Arsenal.

After a brief lead, Arsenal fell behind.

Many people also started to support Juventus.

"Compared to Juventus, Arsenal is still too young. At this time, the Champions League background is particularly important. Juventus has won two Champions Leagues and is the team with the most runners-up places in the Champions League. They are very interested in the Champions League final. With a wealth of experience, if it were another team that had won the Champions League, Juventus might have a hard time, but there is obviously no Arsenal here!"

The Italian commentator said with joy.

As for Sky Sports, Paul Mawson and Dixon said solemnly;

"The situation is getting worse and worse. Arsenal's midfielder is suppressed. Kai faces the two passing points of Pogba and Pirlo alone, which is obviously beyond his capabilities. Kai has even become a full-time defensive midfielder. , but still cannot completely resist Juventus’ attack, Arsenal need to find a way!”

In the arena, Lucky's expression was extremely ugly.

This missed goal made him feel extremely anxious.

He simulated many tactics in his mind, but they basically had no effect.

At this time, Cazorla came over.

"We can play like we did before!"

Lucky was stunned for a moment.

"Run!" Cazorla made a running motion and said; "That goal proved that this is effective. If we want to contain Juventus, we need to press more in the frontcourt. We cannot let the defense The pressure is all on you."

Cazorla smiled and said: "Although it is a stupid method, it is very effective, and we cannot make effective adjustments in a short period of time, so... this is the most intuitive solution."

Hearing this, Lucai thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! Then play like before, and I will join the attack in due course."

Cazorla joked; "Then don't go too far. Once you go too deep, we will be finished on the defensive end!"

Lucky said angrily: "You don't need to remind me!"

Cazorla smiled.

He just hoped that Lucky wouldn't put all the pressure on himself.

Lucky certainly has strong defensive capabilities, but Arsenal is a team.

Only when they come together can they explode with maximum intensity.

...

The game restarted, and after Arsenal completed an attack, Juventus was still looking for opportunities in the backcourt as before.

But this time, Arsenal started that crazy pressing again.

"It starts again!"

Pirlo looked unhappy. He didn't like this tactic of rampaging in the frontcourt.

Of course, no post-organizing point likes to be chased by others in its own half.

But Arsenal just played like that.

It just disgusts you!

However, Juventus has experience and they will not make too many risky passes in their own half.

Pirlo passed the ball to Pogba.

As soon as Pogba got the ball and wanted to dribble forward, Sanchez suddenly retreated and started to press him.

Pogba stubbornly continued to dribble forward.

But Sanchez chased the ball to his own half without mercy.

"What the hell are you following?"

Pogba feels that this guy is like chewing gum and can't shake it off.

At this time, a foot suddenly appeared and directly hooked the ball away.

Pogba looked shocked.

He turned around and saw that Lucky had picked up the ball and started running forward.

Sanchez beside him also shouted: "Captain, if you were a little late, I really wouldn't be able to catch you."

He passed the ball to Cazorla.

As Sanchez retreated, Cazorla took up the winger position.

At the same time, Lucai turned around and urged; "Quick! Join the attack!"

Sanchez immediately turned around and started running.

This is Arsenal's mad dog tactic, as long as they can't run to death, they will run to death.

Create opportunities on the move!

This tactic combined with Lucky's ability to directly counterattack on the spot made Juventus extremely uncomfortable.

After all, Italian football is slow.

But Arsenal will hardly give them any time to breathe!
