, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

The Champions League opponent is determined, Juventus is the top seed in Serie A, but Arsenal is not afraid.

Backed by their recent excellent record, they do not expect to lose to Juventus.

Even if Juventus has the bonus of Ronaldo.

The outside world also said the same thing. Even if Juventus has a single-arrow C drop, Argentine player Dybala's performance is also very good.

But after all, it is an individual ability, not transformed into a team.

Facing an Arsenal team with a strong team nature and a solid record, Juventus's chances of winning are really too small.

After the Champions League groupings were determined, Arsenal began to prepare for the league and EFL Cup.

On December 20, the English League Cup will usher in the quarter-finals.

Arsenal's opponent is Chelsea in the same city.

This draw is not very good, after all, there are many weaker teams.

But Arsenal fans at this time said that there was no problem with this draw.

They don't think Chelsea can pose a threat to them.

After playing against Manchester United, Arsenal played two more league games.

Still won two rounds.

They pushed the victory to 16 wins and 1 draw.

At home and away, Arsenal defeated Hadfield and Southampton respectively.

In the two games, Arsenal scored a total of 4 goals, not many goals, but they did not concede any goals.

After two games of 2:0, Arsenal still maintains a stable state.

What's more, Arsenal played in rotation in both games.

Arsenal's madness continues.

Moreover, during the rotation, the main players get enough rest, and they have no injuries or physical problems, so they can smoothly transition to the second half of the season.

Arsenal's form is so good that Dembele, who is far away in Spain, is secretly looking forward to coming to Arsenal.

He is still a transparent person in Barcelona and it is difficult to get opportunities from Valverde.

In Arsenal, a new environment, he believes that he can get more opportunities.

What's more, Arsenal's performance now is so amazing.

Nowadays, Dembe is thinking about how he can integrate into the Arsenal team every day and what he can bring to the team.

The more I think about it, the more excited I become, and the more excited I become, the more I look forward to it.

It can be said that Dembe is spending this period of time on his fingers. He hopes that the winter window will open as soon as possible and he will appear in London as soon as possible.

As for Arsenal, carrying the momentum of two victories, they once again came to the EFL Cup.

In the game against Chelsea, Arsenal once again showed terrifying suppression.

In less than ten minutes, Arsenal took the lead with Giroud's header.

"Girou!

Wonderful header! "

"David Luiz, he is completely unable to compete with Giroud, especially when it comes to headers. Of course, Odegaard's pass is also extremely clever, and it is worth the head of many opposing full-backs. It can be said that a slight difference makes a huge difference!”

"Arsenal's madness continues!"

Lucky watched Arsenal's performance from the sidelines and applauded gently.

In this game, Lekai takes a rest.

Kante and Giroud lead the team against Chelsea.

Of course, facing Chelsea, Mourinho did not dare to make large-scale substitutions.

Most of the main players are on the field, but the midfield position is composed of Odegaard, Ramsey and Kante.

But even so, Arsenal's defense is still rock solid.

In the field, as the game progressed, Arsenal played better and better.

The young player Odegaard also found the feeling of the game, and after experiencing the Manchester United game, he became more confident and calm.

Many times, Odegaard's passes are very hidden and unexpected.

Although he failed to pass the sharp through ball like Lucky, he still relied on his own ability to continuously deliver shells to the team.

In particular, there seems to be some strange tacit understanding between Odegaard and Giroud.

The cooperation between the two has become much better, and the team's offense has also become smoother.

"Odegaard is getting better and better!"

There was a hint of emotion in Wilshere's tone.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Wilshere thought of his state at that time, but he had to admit that Odegaard was getting better at this time.

"His weaknesses are the mental aspect and some lazy habits. After rectifying these, his own talents will be brought out. Look! He plays smoothly in the frontcourt."

Lucky smiled.

Seeing Odegaard's outstanding performance, Lucky was also happy, feeling like he had taught a good apprentice.

Of course, Lucky's training should be very simple and rough.

It's a one-on-one confrontation with Odegaard, but this can be regarded as the right medicine, which just makes up for Odegaard's shortcomings, and for this reason, his current performance has become very good.

But the only problem is that there seems to be some incompatibility between Odegaard and Aubameyang on the left.

For this reason, Odegaard will put more attacks on Mane on the right wing.

This also led to Aubameyang not liking Odegaard very much.

After all, no one likes someone who doesn't pass the ball to him.

Whenever Odegaard plays, Aubameyang's performance will plummet. Sometimes, he suspects that he has some conflict with Odegaard.

But this is purely a question of style of play.

The two cannot cooperate well, so Odegaard will naturally choose an opponent who can cooperate better.

In this regard, the forwards suffer.

After all, if you want to score a goal, you have to please the midfielder. If you don't pass the ball from the midfielder, you will still score a crappy goal.

On the other hand, Mane and Giroud performed well.

Odegaard is different from Lucky.

Lucky's advancement requires constant pulling back and forth to achieve the effect.

Although this effect is very direct, it is far less satisfying than Odegaard's domineering feeling of crushing the opponent to death.

Of course, the same was true for Lucky when he was young.

But as he matured and formed his own style of play, Lucai's playing style also began to change.

In the second half, after the kick-off, Arsenal once again used a long pass from Robertson to directly cooperate with Aubameyang.

As a full-back, Robertson's long passes on the offensive end are extremely accurate.

Sometimes, due to the presence of Lucky, he will be more responsible for forward penetration on the right side, but there are few opportunities for long passes.

Now that there is no Lucky, Robertson can directly join the offense.

This long ball accurately hit the space in Chelsea's backcourt. Aubameyang moved forward and swept the ball across.

Giroud followed up with a shovel shot and scored another goal.

Arsenal lead by two goals.

Giroud scored two goals!

After two goals, Arsenal began to make substitutions.

"Go up and stabilize your condition!"

Chelsea are still worried about lagging behind and thinking about how to reverse the situation.

But the stadium suddenly erupted into violent cheers.

Cheers rushed to the sidelines.

They saw Lucky and Saka standing on the sidelines.

Leaving aside the latter, what does Lucky mean?

They are still lagging behind at this time. Now Lucky comes up, so do they need to continue the game?

This will not be given at all!

Odegaard and Aubameyang came off the field.

Both of them have gained something, so they are very satisfied.

When he came on, Saka pushed Lucky with his arm.

When Lucky turned to look over, Saka smiled shyly, which was obvious.

‘Boss, I want to score a goal! ’

Lucky couldn't help laughing.

But seeing Saka's expression, Lucky nodded and said he would pass it if he had the chance.

After Lucky came on the field, Chelsea's already compressed formation became even more difficult to maintain.

Lucky didn't fight very hard. Just like Mourinho said, Lucky just ran and passed the ball to stabilize his condition.

But even so, Chelsea has had enough.

When Lucky passed a diagonal through ball to Saka.

Saka continuously pedaled his bicycle and passed Chelsea's full-back Alonso. He immediately cut inside, creating space for shooting, and hit the goal directly from a small angle.

The ball hit the net.

The two were on the pitch for six minutes before Saka scored.

The score was also extended to 3:

This time, Arsenal is considered a sure winner.

Chelsea's resistance has become less fierce, and they are obviously aware that they are about to lose.

After 90 minutes, the full-time whistle sounded.

Arsenal successfully reached the semi-finals of the EFL Cup.

Chelsea was eliminated from the English League Cup.

Now Arsenal only needs to finish the double round-robin semi-finals at home and away in January.

The EFL Cup final in February.

If they can defeat their opponents, they will win their second championship trophy this season after winning the Community Shield.
