The Premier League arsenal, the king of thermos cups

Chapter 64 Lukaku

In the player channel of the Emirates Stadium, Zhou Yang stood with his teammates, holding the ball boy and waiting.

Next to them are Everton players.

After the home draw with Monaco, the news reports about the team were stable. After all, the result of the 2-2 draw was very good after conceding two goals in a row at the beginning.

However, the discussion of Zhou Yang in the sports world has improved to a higher level.

Defend the glory of the chiefs and participate in the European Champions Cup for the first time.Helping the team equalize the score, the 8-minute double-player is absolutely equal and so on.

The little caddy kept staring at him, and Zhou Yang pinched the opponent's face with his right hand.

But soon Zhou Yang discovered that there was another person staring at him.Looking back, it was Lukaku who was introduced from Chelsea at a cost of Everton's record 2800 million.

"Hi."

Lukaku, who was close to two hundred catties, beckoned.

Zhou Yang followed suit.

"You are good." Lukaku stretched out his thumb with his left hand.

Zhou Yang followed with a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Thank you, you are also an excellent player."

After the European game, the name is different. Before changing, there is no chance that Lukaku will look up to him and give him a thumbs up.

Now that we are worth 2500 million, I am afraid that Lao Wen will not bring face to other clubs.

I don't know if Lukaku will be in the triangle today.

If you have a chance, cooperate with him, I feint, you reverse the triangle.

I was a center forward in the penalty area at 1.78, and you pulled the side to pass me a header at 1 meters.

When the other party heard Zhou Yang praise him, the eyebrows on his black face trembled, and he seemed a little surprised, "I am looking forward to playing football with you on the court. I am shocked by your creativity."

"Me too, I look forward to playing football with you."

Lukaku was even more delighted.

So far this season, Everton ranks 12th, with 28 points, in the lower half, 6 points away from the relegation zone, but Lukaku's performance is not bad. So far this season, he has scored 7 goals in the league. He is already very remarkable on this team.

"I have also watched your game, I think it is very good." Zhou Yang followed with a smile.

Lukaku was even more delighted. I didn’t expect Zhou to watch his game. Now Zhou is almost a role model for many players in the Premier League. I heard that he trains hard, eats at the base, does not drink or smoke in normal times, and plays hard. An excellent example of what the coach has been saying lately.

Especially young players will follow his example.

"Have you really watched my game? Do you think I played well?" Lukaku asked eagerly, his big body felt oppressive.

"Yeah, of course." Zhou Yang nodded. He watched a lot in his previous life, and he also watched it in this life. Everyone will watch the video before the game.

Lukaku was even happier. If others praised him, he wouldn't feel much, but the little Belgian monster was very happy to get Zhou's appreciation.

"Yeah, I'll try harder."

In fact, Lukaku has really worked hard, otherwise, how can Chelsea spend another [-] million to buy it back?
In the London sports live broadcast room, the commentator explained today's game as usual.

"You can see that players from both sides are now on the pitch."

"A few days ago, Arsenal played a 2-2 draw against Monaco in the UEFA Champions League at home. This can't be said to be a good result for them, but it can't be said to be bad either. What can be felt is the players in the frontcourt. The state is not very good, let's see if the offensive state can come back today."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineup. Today Wenger is still playing 4231. The professor's arrangement is still stable today, and we can see that Zhou is still ranked behind Welbeck, under the shadow of the three attackers in the frontcourt. Said To be honest, someone in Wenger’s two games has been discussing his tactical arrangement, and they think it’s bad and unreasonable, and they think it’s inappropriate for him to put Zhou directly ahead.”

"Yes, this has always been the focus of discussion, but if you think about it in another direction, you will find that Zhou is actually like an axis. Wherever he is, he will serve as the axis of that area to do things well and let the ball The team can play better offensively. Not to mention anything else, just say that this front-line style of play also has unexpected effects, that is, when the frontcourt offense is weak, he can insert at the right time. Of course, this kind of front-line without space , It just needs to be given a chance by the opponent, but there is no doubt that Zhou's current position has been discussed all the time, especially Arsenal fans, who think about where to throw him every day, and a bunch of people on the field want to throw him to the wing. A bunch of people wanted to put him in the defensive midfielder, but he scored a double-shot 10 minutes before the end and scored a tie, but they said, let him go..."

At the Emirates Stadium, players from both sides slowly entered the field.

Each started their warm-up exercises.

Wenger stood on the sidelines. Everton's performance this season can only be described as mediocre. In the 5 games in the Premier League, 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, the results are not bad. The away game against Chelsea lost 0-1.

In addition, they played two home and away games in the Europa League, beating the Swiss team 7-2 on aggregate and reaching the round of 16.

The state is still very good, even the recent loss to Chelsea was a lore goal in the second half.

But in the Premier League, Everton's offensive ability can only be said to be average. The number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded are close to an average of 1.3 per game. In the past 5 league games, they have scored 3 goals and conceded 3 goals. Not too many goals, but the kind of goals conceded that fit his position.

Both sides have just finished the European war. The former played against Monaco on Wednesday, and the latter also played the Swiss team at home and away in the previous Europa League. The combat intensity is similar.

Soon, in the 27th round of the Premier League, Arsenal's home game against Everton kicked off with the referee's whistle.

In this game, Zhou Yang is still playing in the front midfielder position. Not long after the two sides started, after a few offensive and defensive contacts, Zhou Yang felt that Everton's style of play paid great attention to ball control.

When they are attacking, Cazorla will jump in and cooperate, and then Kirkland will drag back, and Everton will do the same.

Everyone is also pressing in the frontcourt today, and the others try to defend as much as possible. After the ball is available, the teammates will step in and start to cooperate step by step. After the ball is out, they will defend in the low position.

As for Everton, the way they squeezed the ball in the middle and the front caused the way they passed the ball, but compared to the way Monaco played when they pressed the short pass in the middle circle before, Monaco's front and back pass and attack The connection is crisp and threatening, and even if Everton has the ball, the offense is not satisfactory, and they guide the ball more in the midfield, as if the frontcourt does not exist.

This is where there is a gap with Monaco.

Everton has strong pressure in the frontcourt and a very active midfielder, but the offensive threat after getting the ball is very small.

Zhou Yang moved with the formation.

On their side, as always, when they get the ball, drive in if they can drive in the center, and play on the two sides if they can't drive in, and then return to the regular play in the center.

There are still a lot of attacks from the center. It is true that the two sides are not weak, but they often attack from the center. This is also the advantage of Wenger's team. side attack.

So this is why Zhou Yang plays the ball, the right side is mainly used to cooperate with Walcott and others to run and hit the goal and speed, and the left side is mainly used to make space for Sanchez to break through.

As for the middle lane, just look at Sanchez after driving in. Welbeck or Walcott set up positions. Sometimes Welbeck will make some good shots. Sanchez pulls down or Walcott sets back in the middle. Both can play good results. , or Cazorla followed up, and used a variety of triangle coordination to hit the middle to make it in for Welbeck and so on.

Of course, there are other under-the-bottom crosses, header passes, and bottom-line corner kick tactics, but obviously in contrast, the reason for the variety of midfield combinations allows the team to have more and better choices.

However, player coordination and state are obviously also important.

After Zhou Yang cooperates with Cazorla to advance in the frontcourt, he must start to look for the direction and rhythm of the attack. Knowing the ability of his teammates, he cooperates with his teammates to play the most appropriate attack method, so as to approach the penalty area and hit the goal.

And if there is a shot that needs him to plug in, he will follow up.

But facing Everton today, after getting the ball and failing to score, once Everton fights back, the midfielder will give you a meal, which made Zhou Yang roll his eyes for a while!
So fucking directable.

Zhou Yang looked at Everton. If you play like this, Lukaku, let alone an inverted triangle, will almost dry out.

After ten minutes, Everton's possession rate reached 70%.

Arsenal fans online.

"This Martinez is worthy of the coach from Spain. I am almost dizzy because of this."

"Don't talk about it, it's not a good thing if the ball is given to the opponent too much."

"Although Everton's offense is not sharp, but if we have less possession of the ball, we have fewer opportunities to attack, and what if we accidentally give the opponent a chance, what should we do? Pull a little, but don’t be afraid of [-], just in case.”
