Chapter 44 New Season, First Round!

Chapter 44 The new season, the first round!

In the afternoon scrims, Lucky also played well.

Halfway through, the professor ordered Le Kaido to make a threatening long pass, preferably with Podolski or Gervinho.

In this regard, Lucky is also fully implemented.

The two-footed long pass accurately came to the opponent’s neutral position.

But the problem is that neither of them can run.

In other words, none of them saw this neutral position.

Wenger was a little helpless.

Try Walcott with Lucky.

I have to say, the effect is remarkable.

Walcott and Lucky can form a good echo.

And after many long passes, Lucky seems to have tasted the sweetness and is no longer willing to defend silently.

After a cooperation with Arteta, a knife-like through ball was passed.

There was another time when he was counterattacking quickly, he received a pass from a teammate near the middle circle, and he directly used the outer instep to create a big arc without stopping the ball.

Hit directly from the left flank to the feet of Walcott on the right flank.

This big arc directly shocked the coaching staff to their jaws.

To be honest, from Lucky’s point of view, they could see Suarez who was about to move in front of them.

There was also Podolski about to start, but the movement of Walcott on the right was not noticed at all.

And there are several people in the middle, and there are blind spots.

Not to mention how the footwork is, just how this guy sees this neutral position is scary enough.

This pass made the professor’s heart heat up.

He hoped that Lucky would take another kick.

But unfortunately, after this pass, Lucky could not replicate it again.

Instead, he started to defend with peace of mind.

At first, the professor thought that Lucky couldn’t find a good opportunity, or that he just got caught.

But Patras suddenly flashed a scorer.

Main team 1:0 substitute team!

Wenger opened his mouth slightly, recalling the previous warm-up match.

As if after Arsenal had an advantage or a lead, the guy also started to go all-in on defense.

So, this is a sub-slave? !

One goal ahead and start to defend the point to the death.

Wenger wanted to cry without tears.

He thinks, Mourinho will like this guy!

After the training, Wenger stood in front of everyone with a tactical board. Everyone knows that this is the announcement of the match list.

Tomorrow is August 18th, the first round of the 2012/2013 Premier League season is about to start.

“I got my name, and I’m going to participate in tomorrow’s game!” Wenger looked around and looked down to read his name.

“Suarez, Podolski, Walcott, Arteta, Gervinho”

Everyone whose name was called looked happy. After all, the new season entered the roster, which is a good start for them.

read until the end, then Wenger looked up, closed the list, and read the last name.

“Lucky!”

Lucky’s expression was flat, as did the others.

Don’t be too surprised that Lucky entered the big list.

On the one hand, Lucky had a dazzling performance at the end of last season.

On the other hand, many players are eager to play Kai.

For example, Captain Vermaelen.

Since Alexander Song left, Vermaelen’s defensive pressure has skyrocketed.

Although Alexander-Song likes to rush forward, when defending, the opponent’s attackers have to pass Alexander-Song first.

And now?

Arteta, Diaby, Ramsey, Santos, Oxlade-Chamberlain, none of them are defensively active.

Ramsay is better, but that’s about it.

This defensive midfielder is not the same, and the pressure is all on the back line.

And if Lekai is on the court, a defensive gate will be placed directly on the midfielder.

The opponent doesn’t even want to go around, and Vermaelen’s defensive pressure will be much less.

Vermaelen came over, patted Lucky on the shoulder and said, “Congratulations, and a good performance tomorrow.”

Lucky was a little surprised.

He seems to be the starter.

Others think the same way.

They didn’t have any surprises for Lucky to play.

After all, they see everything in their eyes.

Last season’s performance + warm-up performance + training performance = substitute/starter!

If Lekai is not eligible to play, then none of the defensive midfielders in this vote is eligible.

Back at Billy’s house that night, Lucky announced the good news.

In this regard, Billy seemed to be prepared, and he directly showed three tickets.

“Look! I’m ready!” Billy boasted, shaking his ticket.

Lucky was surprised: “Did you know I would be in the big list?”

Billy shrugged; “If Wenger’s performance at the end of last season can’t be confirmed by Wenger, then we can only doubt the professor’s vision!”

“Professor is still very discerning, you are on the roster again, and you may want to start!”

In this regard, Le Kai shook his head and said, “Probably not, the professor said that he would let me practice for half a season!”

Wenger was open and honest with Lucky this time.

He needs Lucky to practice for half a season, if his performance is still good, then Lucky can get the status of the starting main force.

In this regard, Lucky did not have any complaints,

After all, I have waited for a season.

In addition, there is still the possibility of coming off the bench this half season, which is much stronger than before.

The next day, 15:30 pm London time.

The first round of the 2012/2013 Premier League season Arsenal VS Sunderland has started 30 minutes.

The score between the two sides is 1:1.

The starting lineup of both sides:

Arsenal (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs.

Midfielders: Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla.

Forwards: Gervinho, Suarez, Podolski.

Sunderland (4-5-1):

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Defenders: Richardson, O’Shea, Kullar, Craig Gardner.

Midfielder: McLean, Coleback, Catmull, Rasson, Campbell.

Striker: Sessegnon.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal relied on an attacking opportunity, and Podolski assisted Suarez to score a goal.

But Arsenal’s lead only lasted for two minutes. Sunderland relied on a defensive counterattack opportunity. Campbell drove in, directly hit the penalty area, and assisted and scored.

Since then, the game has been in a stalemate for a while.

This game also made the Arsenal fans at the scene tremble.

They clearly felt that, although in attack, Arsenal had absolute pressure.

But the defense seemed so weak.

That counterattack was neither sharp nor too fast.

But the opponent scored a goal.

Arteta and Diaby just watched each other pass through the midfield, and they didn’t impose any restrictions at all.

As mentioned before, the pressure is all on Vermaelen.

The disrupted Arsenal backline faced the opponent’s multi-person attack. In addition to the confusion, they had no choice but to concede the ball.

This goal stunned Arsenal fans, and also stunned the professor.

They never thought that Arsenal’s defense could be so weak.

The opponent will break as soon as he stabs it.

And now, due to the deficiencies in defense, Arsenal did not dare to press forward, resulting in a very strange stalemate.

Professor    couldn’t sit still anymore, he stood on the sidelines, frowning at the back line.

He never thought that after Arsenal left Alexander Song, they would enter such a weak defensive state.

A team like Sunderland can even break Arsenal’s goal.

This is a joke.

But we have to face the problem.

The defensive midfielder position does have a problem.

Arteta’s defense is not so active, Diaby’s performance is even less commendable.

Cazorla’s play was okay, but he was too far ahead and didn’t have time to pull back.

At this point, Arsenal conceded the ball again in the frontcourt, and Sunderland started to counterattack.

Sunderland midfielder Razon took the fast dribble.

But when he came near the center circle, Arteta and Diaby both moved, but stopped quickly.

After watching Lasson enter their own half, the two who missed the opportunity could only watch the ball pass between them and reach the foot of Campbell on the left wing.

Arsenal’s backline is frying again.

Gibbs hurriedly rushed over, but the opponent continuously changed direction and fell to the ground, and completed the inward cut.

Mertesacker shoveled fiercely before the opponent entered the penalty area.

Even people dribble the ball and turn it directly.

“Cheer up! What are you all doing?!”

Vermaelen growled in anger.

He didn’t understand what the midfielders were thinking. He didn’t put the ball on it and watched the opponent pass it to the backcourt?

Arteta and Diaby were also embarrassed.

And the live commentary at this time was also angry.

“What are you doing? What are you doing? Get moving! Run with your legs!”

“Do you think you can make each other stop just by looking at it?!”

The anger of the live commentary was rendered to the fans.

They were also yelling in the stands.

“Go up! What the hell, what are you thinking?”

“Bad defense! You have no fighting spirit at all!”

“Go up! Arteta! Go up! Diaby!”

“What are you thinking about? Defense!!—”

Arsenal fans are furious.

They never thought that the departure of Alexander Song would cause such a situation.

Last season, they kept scolding Alexander Song for not defending.

This season, the guy is finally gone, and Arsenal’s defense has turned into shit!

At this moment, they suddenly missed Alexander Song’s defense.

But the more they did, the more angry they became.

To them, Song is an inferior product.

And now that the scrap is gone, Arsenal’s defense has gotten even worse.

This is hell!
