   Chapter 138 Threats from the Far Side

  “Goal!!”

   "Long Shot!!"

   "Arc shot from the penalty area line! A wonderful arc!"

   "Kai!!!!"

  George Adams jumped up from his position, waving his arms excitedly, cheering uncontrollably.

   So did the Arsenal fans.

   They scored the first goal in the game!

   Lucky brought them their first goal!

   At the same time, at the coaching bench, Wenger and Patrice waved their arms almost at the same time.

   "Goal!"

   "It's done!"

   The eyes of the two were excited, and they were extremely satisfied with this goal.

   And it's a long shot!

   At the beginning of the season, they gave Lucky the right to shoot from a long distance. In a total of ten rounds of the league and constant attempts in the Champions League group stage, Lucky finally ushered in his first long-range goal.

   This is an extremely critical sign!

   has a great role in promoting Arsenal's tactics.

  Lekai's long-range shooting ability can assist Arsenal's offensive system and enrich Arsenal's offensive diversity.

   Of course, Lucky is just the first long-range shot, and it still can’t represent too many things, but it has changed a little bit.

   This change, in Wenger's view, is both positive and facilitative.

   In the arena, after scoring a goal, Le Kai started to run around the field.

   He waved his arms frantically, venting his inner excitement.

   Arsenal fans in the audience were madly cheering Lucky's name.

   For two years, they have formed a good bond with the Chinese midfielder.

   They love this Chinese who is tough and always surprises them.

   They are also willing to cheer him on!

   He is the darling of the Emirates Stadium!

  The scene was full of cheers and the audience was boiling.

   Cesc Fabregas looked at this scene and couldn't help but echo the past few years ago, when he was also so supported by Arsenal fans.

   But now, he's a traitor!

  Thinking of this, Fabregas had a complicated look on his face.

   He knew that nothing could go back to square one since Wenger rejected his request.

  The current Arsenal has no place for him!

   Wenger stared at Le Kai in the field and suddenly said, "I think it is necessary to move the plan ahead!"

"what's the plan?"

   Patrice on the side was celebrating. Hearing this, he turned to ask,

   Wenger pondered for a moment and said; "From January, I will hand over the organization rights to Kai in some games."

  Patrice frowned slightly; "Is it a little too fast? Arteta's side?"

Wenger shook his head and said; "I will explain the situation to him on Arteta's side, and we will not give up on him, but for the future of the team, we must let Kai grow rapidly. In fact, we are very clear that this team Who should Arsenal play around around!"

  Patrice did not continue.

   In fact, he is also looking forward to the future of Arsenal!

   An arsenal built around a brand new core system!

  Arsenal scored the first goal at home, which gave them enough advantage.

  Chelsea are in a passive state.

   But Arsenal still can't relax, after all, the most important thing Mourinho's team lacks is toughness.

After the    goal, Arsenal's play became more conservative.

   Their idea was simple, to keep the score going into the second half.

   also brought the advantage into the second half.

  Arsenal's tactical execution is very high, and the central defender is chasing and blocking Chelsea's attack.

   Cesc Fabregas ran extremely hard and wanted to tie the game, but he failed to pass an effective assist ball in Arsenal's repeated pursuit and interception.

  In the end, Arsenal entered half-time with a score of 1:0.

  In the locker room, both sides are making tactical arrangements for the second half.

   Mourinho is still more focused on defense.

   In fact, in Jose Mourinho's first phase of Chelsea, it was an attack-oriented tactical system.

   However, after Mourinho joined Inter Milan, he was influenced by the defensive concept of Italian football and began to pay more attention to defense.

   During the Real Madrid period, Mourinho focused on the 'speeding up' of offense and defense transformation!

After returning to Chelsea, in order to better stabilize the situation, he continued to strengthen the stability of the defense.

   To this end, the more defensive-minded Azpilicuele and Ivanovic are used at the two full-backs.

   This also made Chelsea’s outing route rigid, largely relying on Cesc Fabregas.

   And Cesc Fabregas’s position dictates that he always needs to drop back to receive the ball, with his back to the attacking direction.

   At this time, Cesc Fabregas will encounter scrambles and restrictions from Arsenal's frontcourt.

   If he catches the ball in the opponent's half, Cesc Fabregas will have to face the strangulation of Arsenal midfielders such as Luckey.

   It can be said that Mourinho has a headache now.

  Arsenal's number 4 can't be solved, Chelsea's attack always becomes slow.

   Wenger has nailed a nail at the pivot of Chelsea's offensive and defensive transformation.

   Mourinho's eyes were fixed on Ramirez. He hoped that Ramirez could make crazy steals and interceptions in the midfield like Le Kai.

   But in this game, Ramirez was in poor form!

   In fact, since the beginning of this season, his state has been up and down.

   Mourinho thought for a long time before he said to the side; "David! Go warm up!"

   Hearing this, everyone in the locker room looked at Mourinho.

  The expressions of everyone are different.

  They don't know who David Lewis is going to replace.

   After all, this guy can play as a defender or a midfielder!

   On the other side, Arsenal's dressing room.

   Wenger found Lekai to appreciate his long-range shot and asked him to keep his form in the second half.

   In the end, he clapped his hands and said; "Okay, guys, cheer up in the second half. Mourinho strengthens his defense and counterattacks when the game is uncertain, which requires us to focus more on the game!"

   Wenger did not make any substitutions, which means that he was extremely satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half.

  Sky Sports commentary.

Andy Gray said: "Chelsea are in trouble, Mourinho needs to find a way, Arsenal are doing better than him on both ends of the attack and defense, if you let Arsenal play like this all the time, Chelsea will lose the last bit. There is a possibility of a turnaround.”

Richard nodded and said; "Kay has a lot of restrictions on Chelsea, and when Arteta is in organizational problems, he can also help alleviate it. It can be seen from this game that Kai's ball-handling ability in midfield has been greatly improved. A big improvement, and a long shot, facing such a sudden change, it is indeed enough for Mourinho to have a headache."

   While the two were talking, the players on both sides had already started to walk out of the player tunnel.

   Mourinho can be seen walking out in the camera, his expression is extremely solemn,

   Lucky's sudden evolution in this game caught Mourinho by surprise.

   In fact, this evolution is not achieved overnight, and Lucky has been showing it in the arena from time to time before.

   Especially long shots!

   Mourinho couldn't turn a blind eye, which made their defense even more confusing.

   As soon as the second half of the game started, Le Kai completed a long shot again.

   is still a tentative long shot near the penalty area line, slightly higher than the crossbar, but it also surprised the Chelsea players in cold sweat.

  Cech even roared at the defender after landing.

   "Don't let him get up!—"

  Chelsea defenders looked dignified, and their defensive pressure was even heavier.

   Not only have to face Arsenal's sharp passing and cutting coordination, but also be wary of long-range shots from Lekai.

   Le Kai failed to score the second long-range shot, but he did not show any regret on his face, but was extremely excited.

  He found the feeling!

   After the first long-range goal, it seemed to be enlightened!

   Since then, Chelsea players have become extremely vigilant whenever Luckey touches the ball near the penalty area line.

   However, Le Kai did not take a long shot, but continued to score the ball towards both sides.

   This situation did not make Chelsea players feel relieved, but more urgent.

   They don't know when Lucky will shoot from a long distance!

   In addition to long-range shots, Lucky also has the ability to score the ball.

   This also made Chelsea's defense more and more dizzy.

  Unconsciously, the time came to 70 minutes.

   Taking advantage of a dead ball, Chelsea took the lead in making a substitution.

   Ramirez goes off and David Luiz comes on.

  David Lewis went straight to the midfielder.

   Seeing this scene, the Arsenal players nodded slightly.

  Professor is right, Chelsea have strengthened their defensive capabilities.

  David Luiz plays a defensive midfielder, which sounds better as a defensive midfielder, but to put it bluntly, it is a five-back formation.

  After the substitution, Arsenal's offense was disturbed to a certain extent.

   However, Chelsea also lacked the ability on the offensive end. Under the influence of the team, Cesc Fabregas's situation became worse and worse.

  When he was forced to hold the ball with his back, he also needed to make escapes and key passes.

   But in the face of the strangulation of the Arsenal midfielder, especially after several fouls, Cesc Fabregas was ultimately unable to succeed.

  90 minutes, Chelsea failed to score a single goal.

   Eventually he left the Emirates Stadium in disgust.

  2013/2014 season, Arsenal 1:0 Chelsea, continued their winning journey.
