Chapter 146: Messi's Embarrassing Passing Statistics
This goal put Arsenal in a very passive situation.
The biggest impact was the yellow card on Lucky.
This showed that Lucky wanted to restrain his actions. Once he got another yellow card, it might cause the problem of two yellows turning into one red.
And it was not just the yellow card. Arsenal's lead also disappeared. With Barcelona's goal, the situation became balanced. Arsenal needed to reorganize the attack.
"Kai! Pass me more!"
Wilshere approached Lucky and took the initiative to say, "I feel in good shape, and Alves is not a big restriction on me. My side can be a breakthrough!"
Lucky looked at Wilshere, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.
On the sidelines, Patres bit his nails and said, "Kai has a yellow card on his back. Should he let go of defense and participate in the offense?"
Wenger shook his head and sighed, "Kai's offensive ability is unquestionable, but who will defend Messi?"
Patres was choked when he heard this.
Yes!
Lucky is gone, who will defend Messi?
Arsenal can play to such an extent, a big reason is the restriction of Messi by Luka.
Once Barcelona's left wing is released, Messi starts to break through, and the opponent's two wings fly together. Can Arsenal's defense really withstand it?
After Barcelona scored, the game started again.
"With this goal, Barcelona's morale has become strong, and their offense will become more sharp. Before the end of the first half, Arsenal must try their best to defend the opponent's offensive route!"
Paul Mossen said solemnly.
Dixon added, "There is also a yellow card on Kai. I think Kai should be allowed to participate in the attack to reduce the possibility of receiving a yellow card. In this case, Kai can't make big moves."
The Catalan commentator also said excitedly, "Kai has a yellow card, so his defensive actions will inevitably be restricted. At this time, we must focus on Kai's wing and directly beat him into a sieve!"
"In this case, he must not dare to make big moves."
Before he finished speaking, Dixon saw that Iniesta had just dribbled the ball forward, and Lekai made a fierce sliding tackle and kicked the ball out cleanly.
At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be frozen.
Arsenal fans were stunned.
Barcelona fans were stunned.
Even commentators from various countries were shocked.
How dare he!
With a yellow card, Lekai still made this dangerous tackle. Although the tackle was beautiful, once the fault was caught, it would be a problem of red card and sending off.
Zhan Jun was silent for a long time, and then he covered his heart with one hand and smiled bitterly: "This is what is called "the more skilled, the more courageous!"
Apart from other things, it is already amazing that Lekai dared to do this now.
Iniesta was also a little confused.
He looked at Lekai patting his butt and getting up from the ground, and he didn't know what to say when he got back into the game.
Say he is reckless! But this guy's tackle is very beautiful, and there is no problem at all.
Say he is smart! He dared to make a big move in this situation, isn't he crazy?
On the sidelines, Wenger and Patles also grinned and shook their heads.
Others don't know about Lekai, but they know it very well.
This guy has absolute confidence in his actions. As long as Lekai makes a tackle, it is a sure thing, unless the referee targets it.
But this tackle is really daring!
"It's not bad news!" Wenger exhaled and smiled: "At least Kai's tackle made Barcelona realize again that Kai's defense on the left wing is still very restrictive. They want to make a fuss on the left wing, but it will be in vain."
As Wenger said, in the first half of the game, Barcelona frequently launched attacks from the left wing.
But Lekai used clean and neat defensive actions to constantly snipe their attacks.
Even Messi could feel that his offensive pressure was not reduced at all, and even became greater.
Barcelona fans were even more stunned.
Is this a performance of a player with a yellow card?
However, Lekai's repeated sniping also made them feel extremely aggrieved.
Every time the attack came to Arsenal's midfield line, Lekai appeared like a ghost to intercept or steal the ball.
Once or twice would be fine, but after more and more times, they felt more and more headaches.
At this moment, their heads were full of how this guy could steal so well?
Beep~! ! !
The whistle sounded.
The 45-minute first half of the game ended.
Messi stopped the ball at his feet and sighed deeply.
Lekai also leaned on his knees and panted violently.
After the two looked at each other, they walked towards the player tunnel one after the other.
In the Barcelona locker room.
"This game was too frustrating. Our passes and breakthroughs just couldn't break through their midfield line!"
"We need to think of a way. The pressure exerted by Kai is too great!"
"Neymar, how about the right wing?"
"Except for the beginning, the Frenchman has entered the game state. He is not easy to deal with!"
"This damn midfielder combination of Arsenal!"
The Barcelona players were very depressed.
It can be said that this midfielder combination of Arsenal put enough pressure on them.
If there is no midfielder combination, Arsenal's defense line will be broken into a sieve by them.
But it is precisely because of Luka and Kante that Arsenal's joint defense has been improved, and the back line is not so bad.
"That guy has a yellow card on his back, but he still dares to make a move."
Iniesta said with a depressed look.
Messi sipped his water and said; "He has absolute confidence in his actions, and it is difficult to induce him to commit a foul!"
Iniesta nodded: "The only thing that Kai didn't get the ball at your feet, maybe"
Messi smiled bitterly; "But I didn't break through successfully!"
Iniesta was silent, he felt like he had really seen a ghost.
Since he met Messi, he has never seen Messi play such a frustrating ball.
Although Luka didn't get the ball at Messi's feet, as Messi said, he didn't break through successfully.
But in terms of the relationship between offense and defense, Luka successfully restricted Messi and contained Barcelona's offense.
Luka, the defensive midfielder, is more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
"In the second half, I will still try. I can feel that his energy is declining. The entire Arsenal team relies too much on him. Once Kai's state and performance decline, Arsenal will inevitably have big problems."
Messi's words made Iniesta's eyes light up.
Messi is not the kind of person who shoots without purpose. He has his own judgment on the game. Since he said it, it means that there is something.
"Have a good rest. It's up to you in the second half!" Iniesta clenched his fist and said fiercely: "Pass him!"
On the other side, in the Arsenal locker room.
Lekai's chest rose and fell violently like a blower. Throughout the first half, his physical energy was greatly consumed.
The yellow card is not completely useless. Due to the yellow card, Lekai dare not confront physically, so he needs to expand the running range, maximize his interception attribute, and use frequent running to contain and steal.
Wenger is arranging tactics, and he is also paying attention to Lekai.
Although Lucky closed his eyes, he was still listening to the tactical arrangement, but in order to recover his physical strength faster, he did not have any conversation.
The tactics in the second half did not change much.
Arsenal's lineup could not make much tactical changes.
And Lucky still needs to limit Messi.
Again.
Except for Lucky, no one can really limit Messi.
Arsenal's players also know this, and they look at Lucky as if they are looking at a monster.
They were focused on the game, so they didn't notice it.
But after the game, the data told them that Messi had never successfully broken through Lucky.
This was enough to shock them.
You know, that's Messi!
It's not surprising that a player known for his passing is called the best in the world.
How many players have been turned into Muggles by Messi, and how many stars have been beaten by Messi and their value has plummeted.
Facing such a Messi, Lucky made Messi's breakthrough data a big duck egg.
This is enough to show Lucky's terrifying single defense attribute.
