Strong Waist

Chapter 21: The Conspiracy Under the Bus

Le Kai returned to his position in silence, his mind returning to the previous defense.

There is no doubt that a large part of this conceded goal is due to his own problems.

First of all, when he was competing for the first point, he already knew that Henderson was going to split the ball, but he was still blindly confident and physically confrontational, and wanted to use his strength to suppress the opponent, and he didn't even think about interference at all.

Secondly, in the process of returning to defense, Henderson was completely ignored. Even though he knew that the opponent was behind him, he believed that he could complete the interception, so he did not conduct close defense.

In the end, the opponent completed the goal.

Lucky allows himself to make mistakes, but he does not allow himself to make mistakes because of his own expansion.

I don't know when it started, facing the praise and compliments from the outside world and his teammates, he gradually became blindly confident.

It was as if he really thought he was number one in the world!

That inflated mentality led to that goal.

Not cautious enough!

Not focused enough!

And... underestimate Henderson!

Le Kai exhaled slowly, his eyes became firm.

Get back the points you lost!

"Kay's two defensive decisions were problematic. We rarely see such mistakes in defensive decision-making from Kay, but we must admit that Kay... needs to bear a lot of responsibility for this conceded goal! "

[To be honest, I have been using the source-changing app recently to read and update books, switch between sources, and read aloud with many timbres, both Android and Apple. 】

Paul Merson frowned and said, "Of course it's just a conceded goal. We can't ask everyone not to make mistakes. After all, even players at the top level make mistakes. We still expect Kai to adjust quickly!"

In the game, Aubameyang is close to Wilshere.

"Should we comfort the captain? Let him not mind!"

Facing Aubameyang's proposal, Wilshere grinned and said, "We just need to take care of ourselves. Do you think Kay can be defeated so easily?"

Hearing this, Aubameyang froze for a moment.

Wilshere narrowed his eyes and said, "That guy's heart is very strong, he is strong enough to digest this kind of mistake! And this will in turn motivate him to play! Just wait and see!"

Aubameyang doesn't understand very well. If he makes a mistake, he may be worried about gains and losses, always thinking about why he didn't cheer up.

But since Wilshere said so, he didn't express too much.

Players from both sides come to their respective halfs.

Arsenal kick off again!

After the game restarted, Henderson's performance became more active. Perhaps because of the previous goal, his self-confidence increased a lot.

Arsenal, on the other hand, continued to play steadily.

Lucky's defense is still stable, and he is not doing too much single-man defense, but waiting for his teammates to jointly defend.

Although this kind of defense is not as clean as a tackle in terms of visual effects, it makes Liverpool play very uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that Arsenal's defensive position is very solid.

Their running positions and blocking restricted Liverpool's passing lines, and as they kicked, Liverpool felt something was wrong.

Obviously they are controlling the ball, but why do they feel like being led by the nose?

"Jack! Left!"

"Kanter, block and go straight to neutral!"

"Beautiful! Jimenez!"

Lucky is constantly directing his teammates to defend, and under Lucky's command, Arsenal's defense has become more and more stable.

Obviously Liverpool was playing around Arsenal, but they couldn't get in.

Mourinho on the sidelines also looked at Arsenal's defense in a daze.

This defense... is a little too cautious, right?

Arsenal as a whole seems to be retreating, not pressing and defending, but they are blocking the opponent's through passage time and time again.

"It feels weird!"

Arteta also reacted immediately.

Mourinho sighed; "Of course it's weird, because Arsenal are controlling Liverpool's pass!"

Arteta turned his head in astonishment.

"First of all, due to the depth of our defense, Liverpool can freely control the ball!"

"But in the face of falling, we are determined not to grab!"

Arteta: "That can be a long pass, or go straight to the striker's feet!"

Mourinho raised two fingers; "So there is rule two!"

"What we have to be wary of is Liverpool's striker, so use dense defense to block all the space that the striker wants to use, and at the same time stand still!"

"And the central defender does not move at all, only the midfielder does this work!"

"So even if Liverpool's striker goes forward, they have no room to start!"

"Liverpool players feel that the through pass is useless, so they start to pass frequently!"

"And even if it's an uphill grab, they won't really grab it, but block the opponent's passing route!"

"Once! Twice! Three times! Gradually the hardest hit is...."

Henderson was a little anxious, why couldn't he get in.

Arsenal's sudden change of play made them feel very uncomfortable.

Attacking attempts again and again, but were pushed back abruptly by the opponent again and again.

With no front-running channel, there is no usable space.

This is simply impossible to rush in!

"Forget it! It's not bad to keep the lead!"

thought Henderson.

He didn't notice that his catching movement became loose and slow.

And at this moment, Lucky suddenly started.

"Be careful!!"

Henderson was taken aback by the sudden roar of his teammates.

When he looked up, Le Kai had already appeared in front of him.

Henderson's heart was full of panic, he immediately pulled the ball and wanted to turn around to protect the ball.

But Le Kai suddenly stretched out his foot and poked the ball out.

Immediately, he went around from the side.

"Counterattack!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Wilshere let out a roar, and immediately ran as fast as he could.

The Arsenal players also galloped forward rapidly.

"Kay!! A key steal!!! Arsenal's chance to counterattack!!!"

Lucky's quick dribble.

The central defender retreated and defended at the border, but seeing that Lucky's counterattack was too fast, they could only send out one person to run to limit.

But after one person is separated, the gap behind him can be used by Le Kai.

Seeing Lovren stepping forward, Le Kai turned his sheepskin horizontally, but suddenly stabbed him with his feet.

The ball shuttled forward extremely quickly, and at the same time, Mane on the side also accelerated again, chasing the ball quickly.

The right side seemed to have missed the defense, and Van Dijk was completely panicked, and he immediately rushed over to steal the ball.

But at the moment when the opponent rushed towards him, Mane completed the cross.

Giroud completed the forward move and easily pushed the goal against the Liverpool goalkeeper.

At 42 minutes, at the end of the first half, Arsenal equalized the score! !

"Pretty!!!!!!!!--"

Mourinho on the sidelines jumped high, waving his arms excitedly.

Arsenal's decision to concede the ball and counterattack this time is simply perfect.

The sudden change of tactics made it difficult for Liverpool to adapt and consumed the attention of the midfielder. When the Liverpool midfielder wanted to retreat, Lucky suddenly stepped forward and made a steal.

If there is no Lucky, this tactic will take a while.

But with Lucky's keen eye for steal opportunities, it works quickly.

A highly targeted tactical restriction.

Even Mourinho had to admire Lucky's understanding and sensitivity to tactics.

but....

Mourinho shook his head and said; "Some people should scold me for placing the bus again. Lucky's targeted tactical changes are based on the premise of placing the bus, and Mourinho has a record in this regard, so this blame Ask him to carry it!"

But Mourinho is willing to be this pot, as long as he can win.

Meanwhile, Liverpool was at a loss.

They don't know how to concede the ball, why this sudden change happened.

Off the field, Klopp also frowned.

He is also a hindsight. After all, unlike Mourinho, a senior "bus expert", he is not particularly familiar with this tactical system, so his reaction is slower.

But by the time he reacted, it was too late!

Arsenal equalized the score.

"When we all thought the game was going to be dull, Kay's sudden tackle blew the horn of Arsenal's counterattack."

"Extremely crisp steals combined with three-dimensional counterattack efficiency, Arsenal equalized the score at the last moment of the first half!"

"After Kay made a mistake and lost the ball, he did not bow his head like a failure, but chased hard, and finally made a contribution!"

"And this counter-attack reminds us again, we must be careful about Kai's pressing, he can always make a key pressing! Just like this moment!"
