Chapter 35 Push the Captain Back!

"In the next game, you can try more long shots!"

After winning the third game, Arsenal has won three consecutive games, and the season has started very smoothly.

And Odegaard has also won more opportunities to play with his continuous excellent performance.

During the period when Lucky needs to rest, it is likely that the young player Odegaard will start. On the one hand, he can exercise, and on the other hand, he can try different offensive rhythms.

Of course, during the training process, Lucky is also generous in teaching.

"In the last game against West Ham United, you had many opportunities to shoot from the outside, but you hesitated and directly split the ball. The decision to split the ball at that time was actually too late, and Saka's position was not particularly good." Lucky smiled; "Sometimes you can play more confidently and try long shots! Your long shots have been practiced very well."

Under Lucky's teaching, Odegaard's long shots have also made great progress.

Players just need more weapons reserves, just like Odegaard, who is in a similar situation to Lucky.

The dribbling speed is not fast, so it is difficult to use the speed to directly move forward.

Instead of making such a blunt forward run, it is better to create threats outside the penalty area to distract the opponent's defense.

But Odegaard didn't seem to be particularly confident, so he didn't dare to try.

"The coach didn't let me play like this." Odegaard said worriedly.

Lekai couldn't help laughing and said, "The coach won't tell you everything. Remember, you are the one playing the game. You know the changes in the game better than anyone else. So, how to adjust, you also need to judge it yourself!"

Hearing this, Odegaard nodded gently.

Lekai didn't know whether the other party listened or not. Anyway, if Odegaard can grow up, it will be a good thing for Lekai and Arsenal. For this reason, Lekai is still looking forward to the rise of the new generation.

On the other hand, Saka and Giroud are also cooperating in some offensive routines.

Saka's playing style is too monotonous. Although he has a good dribbling and breakthrough ability and a fast speed, he is at a disadvantage in cooperating with his teammates.

For this reason, Giroud took the initiative to find Saka and wanted to form a connection with him.

In the midfield, Xhaka also sought advice from Kante.

The young players' attitude of wanting to become stronger is obvious.

There is competition within Arsenal, but they are also willing to help these young people.

On September 2, the fourth round of the Premier League arrived.

The entire Arsenal team set off for Cardiff City.

This is a team located in Wales, but it is also one of the three teams that have entered the English league system.

The other two teams are Swansea and Wrexham.

Cardiff City is a newly promoted team this season, and its overall strength is weaker than that of the Premier League teams.

For this reason, Mourinho once again used substitutes to let the main players rest.

However, the rest is rotated.

This time, Hummels, Jimenez, Lukay, Kante, and Mane got a rest.

Giroud, Wilshere, and Aubameyang played.

Young players Odegaard and Saka almost went into battle.

Facing Arsenal's rotation lineup, Cardiff City smelled a hint of winning. They carried out extremely tight defense throughout the first half in order to consume Arsenal's physical strength and prevent them from collapsing in one go.

Cardiff City's plan went smoothly. Arsenal failed to score any goals throughout the first half. Although Arsenal bombarded the opponent for 45 minutes, it still failed to achieve results.

But Arsenal is not in a hurry. On the one hand, they still have a certain chance. On the other hand, the main players are sitting on the bench. At most, they can just change players at that time.

However, there is not much time left for these substitutes.

If they can't score before 60 minutes, Mourinho will send Lekai and others to play.

Although a plan for alternating rest has been made, it does not mean that Mourinho is willing to lose or even draw.

For these games that can be won, Mourinho must win three points.

In the second half, after the game started, Arsenal's firepower became more fierce.

Perhaps it was the pressure of being replaced by the main players that made everyone's fighting spirit become more perfect and the offense became more desperate.

In this case, Cardiff City's iron wall finally began to crumble.

Cardiff City was also puzzled.

They defended the first half in order to give Arsenal a little blow and try to counterattack while the opponent was breathing.

But who would have thought that Arsenal's attack was so sudden that they couldn't catch their breath.

Soon, the time came to 55 minutes.

There were only five minutes left before the 60-minute substitution time.

Mourinho's words were also decisive.

"Kai!"

Mourinho turned around and shouted.

Lekai slowly stood up, took off his substitute vest, walked out of the bench and started warming up.

And it was during this period that a small number of Arsenal fans cheered violently.

This cheering even affected the players in the live game.

When the players on both sides saw Lekai warming up, their hearts became solemn.

Odegaard pursed his lips.

He knew that he might be the one to be replaced.

"Hey! Martin, we need to work harder!" Saka suddenly shouted.

Odegaard turned his head and looked at Saka in surprise.

"Working overtime?"

Saka nodded, then chuckled and said, "Put the captain back on the bench. As long as we score, the captain will not play and you can continue to play."

Hearing this, Odegaard's eyes lit up, and his expression suddenly turned fierce:

"Dry!"

"Arsenal is ready to make substitutions. The situation remains unbreakable for a long time and Mourinho has lost patience."

"Kai completed the warm-up and stood on Mourinho. When Kai comes on, Arsenal will roar with a real attack. Our goal."

Paul Mawson paused.

He saw Saka make a cross and the ball came to Giroud's feet.

But at this time, Giroud had his back to the goal, so he pushed the ball backwards.

The ball rolled to the line of the penalty area, and at that position, Odegaard bent his bow and took an arrow.

The range of the leg swing is not large. While volleying, the toes are raised to increase rotation.

This is a side shot!

The ball showed an arc and flew towards Cardiff City's upper right corner.

Judging from the trajectory, this ball is extremely dangerous.

"Danger!

! "

Cardiff City's goalkeeper immediately made a save amid the exclamations of his teammates.

However, his movements were still a beat too slow, and by the time he was in position, the ball had already passed through his hands and into the net.

In the 59th minute, Arsenal scored!

Odegaard changed the score with a wonderful shot.

Cardiff City 0:1 Arsenal!

Wow!

!

!

!

!

!

!

!

——

A small number of Arsenal fans at the scene burst into joy.

Odegaard also ran wildly to celebrate.

Lucky and Mourinho also looked at each other in confusion.

Lucky touched his nose and asked, "Am I still playing?"

Mourinho coughed dryly.

"Go back and sit for a while!"

Lucky smiled and nodded, returned to the bench and sat down.

At the same time, Odegaard and Saka also saw this scene.

Saka said excitedly; "Look! We pushed the captain back!"

Odegaard also smiled very happily.

For them, multi-minute games are a promotion for growth. How could they want to give up this opportunity?

Scored a goal at the last minute, and this goal also made Odegaard more confident.

Odegaard's goal gave Arsenal the lead and destroyed Cardiff City's plans.

After holding on for 60 minutes, they still couldn't hold on, which was a huge blow to them.

Arsenal also completely opened up after this goal.

In the 77th minute, Giroud made a shocking upside-down golden hook to help Arsenal score their second goal.

With a two-goal lead, Arsenal was basically certain of victory.

In the 80th minute, Mourinho decided to let Lucky come on for a walk.

On the one hand, Lucky did not play after the warm-up, and on the other hand, Luckai was allowed to find a feeling.

After Lucai came on the field, it was really a walk.

He also doesn't make so-called breakthroughs. He mostly passes the ball and helps his teammates attack in series.

From time to time outside the penalty area, Bigfoot tries long shots to find the feeling of long shots.

After hitting the crossbar twice, Lucky decided not to take a long shot.

His 'really explosive kick' is really going to kill him.

Although he did not score a goal, Lucky's two long-range shots still shocked Cardiff City.

In this uneasy mood, the game finally came to an end.
