Chapter 114: Applause at Manchester City Stadium
Lucky has a character that refuses to admit defeat. As an athlete and a professional athlete, you will have this desire to win or lose.
Even in tough times, he still wants to win, and he won't slow down for that.
Just like Lucky now.
His range of runs around the court has expanded.
In the frontcourt, he is constantly leading the offense and cooperating with his teammates on the front line.
In the backcourt, he ran tirelessly and blocked Manchester City's attacks time and time again.
After many people achieve Lucky's performance at this time, there is a high probability that they will feel unable to continue, or that it is almost enough.
But Lucky never does that.
No victory yet!
They were just one step away from victory.
Keep fighting!
Lucky played very hard, confronting again and again, running again and again, and even getting up again and again after falling to the ground.
Lucky's performance and tenacity made the Arsenal fans cheer and shout.
Even some Manchester City fans were filled with emotion.
Lucky caused them huge trouble in this game.
They must affirm Lucai's performance, but also be wary of Lucai's performance.
But while they were afraid, they were also deeply moved.
It is precisely because of the excellent performance of Lucky and De Bruyne that they were able to witness a wonderful game.
Even as an opponent, Lucky is an opponent worthy of respect.
He's so powerful that it's scary!
This is the most intuitive feeling in the hearts of Manchester City fans.
"The players on both sides did not give up. They were all fighting for victory, especially Kai. In the final stage of the game, he still did not reduce his running frequency and speed. His expression had become ferocious, and some of his movements even All deformed, but still not giving up.”
"Kai has always been a physical monster, but even Kai like this feels powerless when faced with such a situation!"
Paul Mawson lamented.
Dixon on the side clenched his fists and said, "Other Arsenal teammates, please work harder! They can't rely on Kai to open up the situation every time. Aubameyang, Suarez, Sanchez, Flamini, anyone can do it." , stop!"
Paul Merson nodded and said: "At Manchester City, De Bruyne's physical fitness has also bottomed out. He has begun to be unable to run! But his work has been completed brilliantly, and his performance is even more outstanding!"
In the 82nd minute, Manchester City took the lead in making substitutions.
This time the substitution came a little late.
Three substitutions in a row.
Sterling goes off and Delph comes on.
Aguero comes off and Bony comes on.
De Bruyne comes off and Fernandinho comes on.
De Bruyne saw himself being replaced. Although he still wanted to hold on, he also knew that he could no longer continue playing in his current state.
Staying in the field has little effect, and may even be counterproductive.
He couldn't run anymore.
Thinking of this, De Bruyne walked to the sidelines.
The Manchester City fans at the scene gave warm applause. De Bruyne's performance cannot be said to be worthy of the applause.
"Well done!"
Guardiola even came over to hug De Bruyne and marveled. Even Guardiola had to admit that De Bruyne's performance in this game was extremely crucial.
"Have a good rest and leave it to your teammates."
De Bruyne nodded and immediately sat down on the bench.
He gasped for air.
This game was a great match.
De Bruyne's eyes are fixed on Lucky, and he can feel that this guy will be his most powerful opponent in the future.
In the competition field, Lucky held up his thighs and tried his best to regain his physical fitness.
De Bruyne came off the field, which gave Lucky a sigh of relief.
In any case, this guy caused too much trouble for them.
Arsenal are also about to make a substitution.
I don’t know if I will be replaced!
Lucky thought of this and turned to look at the coaching bench.
Sure enough, Wenger has already started to warm up the substitute players.
The next time the ball is dead, Arsenal will probably make a substitution.
Lucky took a few deep breaths. He was still physically fit enough to run back and forth a few times. He was giving it a try in the last few opportunities.
After the game restarted, Manchester City took advantage of the substitutes they replaced to attack.
Not to mention the abilities of these substitutes, at least their physical fitness is sufficient.
For this reason, the role of these guys at this point in time is often to rush quickly.
Guardiola looked at the court with solemn eyes.
Now Manchester City can use the substitutes to launch an attack quickly, looking for Arsenal's weak links in physical fitness.
At this point in time, substitution is the most immediate tactical effect.
It's better to get a quick effect before Arsenal make any substitutions.
However, Arsenal obviously did not agree.
Kanter pressed directly in the midfield and kicked the ball away from Delph's feet.
This is a toe-poke ball, and the ball travels extremely fast in a short distance.
This also caused Sagna to make a misjudgment for a moment, failing to step on the ball, and the ball slipped past his feet.
When Aubameyang saw this scene, how could he waste such a good opportunity? He gritted his teeth and sprinted forward.
"Sagna made a mistake!! Aubameyang starts sprinting!! Chance for Arsenal!!"
Along with Paul Merson's shouts, the Manchester City fans at the scene also had their hearts in their throats.
Sania frantically chased back. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he didn't stop and stretched out his hand to pull the person.
Uh-huh! !
Aubameyang, who was already exhausted, was pulled to the side by Sagna and rolled on the ground twice.
Beep! ! !
The referee blew the whistle, and Sagna was about to stand up to argue, but a yellow card came into view.
"Sagna fouled and pulled, Arsenal got a free kick in the front field!"
"At the moment when the physical energy was exhausted, the mistakes began to increase!"
This was a free kick about 4 meters outside the penalty area, just within the range of Lekai's shooting.
Lekai ran over immediately.
At the same time, he made a gesture to Wenger on the sidelines.
'Wait until I finish this free kick! '
Wenger wanted to make a substitution, but seeing Lekai's gesture, he finally decided to slow down.
It's not too late to wait until this set-piece is over before making a substitution.
Lekai got to the penalty spot of the set-piece as he wished.
Lekai patted his stiff thigh muscles, trying to relax them, and took a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing rate.
He looked at the goal, but did not make any eye contact with the goalkeeper.
Joe Hart could not read any useful information from Lekai's eyes.
"It's difficult!"
Joe Hart whispered, then squatted slightly and made a save.
The human wall was already standing in the penalty area.
Lekai could take a free throw at any time.
"Damn! So nervous!"
"Must score!"
"Kai! You can do it!"
"God bless!!"
"Goddess bless!"
"Amitabha!!"
Amid the prayers of many Arsenal fans, Lekai in the stadium slowly retreated, gained enough run-up distance, and then slowly nodded to the referee.
The referee blew the whistle immediately.
A sharp whistle sounded.
Lekai immediately ran up.
At this time, Cech's reminder sounded in Lekai's mind.
‘Don’t let the goalkeeper see the direction of the shot from your posture, pay attention to the problem of tiptoeing.’
Lekai felt bitter in his heart. How could he change his habits in such a short time?
So, at this moment, the most reliable posture is still the most comfortable one!
And the opponent’s goalkeeper is Joe Hart!
Stun him!
Lekai supported his feet and stepped on them. His whole body was like a bow and crossbow, with his right leg as the string.
He exerted force on his abdomen, pulled his thighs, and swung his calves quickly.
The sole of his foot hit the ball firmly.
Lekai swung the ball out fiercely.
“Give it to me! Hold it down! ——”
The ball flew towards the goal like lightning.
But it was not a common free kick choice, this was a ground cut.
The ball flew close to the grass and passed under the wall of people jumping. Lekai noticed that the ball rubbed against Yaya Toure’s feet.
“Oops!”
Lekai cried in his heart. After the ball rubbed against Yaya Toure's feet, it refracted and flew in the opposite direction of Joe Hart.
At this time, Joe Hart had completed the save.
There was nothing he could do when he saw the ball flying in the opposite direction of him.
Swish!!!
The ball went into the net!
In the 86th minute, Lekai scored a goal!
Arsenal scored the fourth goal, and in the last minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead again!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"
"Lore!! A lore from Kai!"
"He can do anything!"
"He dominated the whole game!!!"
The whole stadium was boiling!
Arsenal fans were cheering and shouting, they hugged each other, and they were so excited.
Lekai also ran to the corner area excitedly.
He wanted to celebrate in front of the camera, but suddenly, there was a fierce applause beside his ears.
Lucky looked up subconsciously.
He saw the Manchester City fans, their faces were complicated, but they still looked at him and applauded.
Soon, the applause began to spread.
Manchester City Stadium welcomed warm applause.
This applause is for Lucky who played brilliantly!
