Strong Waist

In the 25th round of the Premier League, Arsenal played Crystal Palace away.

In this game, Arsenal's lineup made some changes.

It's still a rotation of lineup positions.

Defenders: Sagna, Mertesacker, Ferdinand, Gibbs.

Midfielder: Kante, Lucky, Franimi.

Forwards: Walcott, Suarez, Sanchez.

Lucky appears in the central midfield position.

Patrice had asked Wenger to let him play as a central midfielder to get a feel for it. Lucky was also preparing for this, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

In this game, Lucai appeared in the central midfielder position, which surprised many people.

After all, Lucky has been playing as a defensive midfielder. Even when participating in the attack, his position is only on the left side, not as a central midfielder.

But this time, Cazorla did not play, and Lucky played as a central midfielder.

To be honest, Lucky is not particularly familiar with this position.

He has played as a full-back, a central defender, and as a defensive midfielder. These are all deeper positions and will not be too confrontational in themselves.

Even if there is a confrontation, it is initiated by oneself.

But now, Lucky feels like he is surrounded by the opponent in the central midfielder.

The biggest unaccustomed thing is that Lucky often needs to get the ball with his back.

Because it is a playmaking point, Lucky needs to turn around to get the ball. At this time, the opponent's players will immediately move forward to press.

Lucky was not used to facing this kind of pressing.

In order to deal with this problem, Lucky passed the ball more to both sides instead of getting rid of it independently.

"Kai isn't taking it very well!"

Watching Lucky always pass the ball back on the court, Patrice said.

Wenger also nodded and said: "The central midfielder is different from the defensive midfielder. The defensive midfielder is in his own half and is surrounded by teammates. He will feel a sense of security psychologically and has more passing points. But the central midfielder is It is to cross the opponent's half, you need to get the ball with your back, and there are not many teammates around, which further tests your ability to escape. "

Patrice frowned and said, "Isn't it too fast? We need to give him some time to adapt."

Wenger shook his head and said: "He has done too much training, but there are some things that cannot be learned in training and must be honed in the game. Moreover, he has never played as a central midfielder. Even if he did, he would not be able to do it." It’s such a huge realization, it’s better to let him feel it before talking about it.”

Patrice grinned and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing?"

Wenger smiled and said: "As long as the ball is lost, I will send Cazorla up immediately."

Patrice shook his head and laughed.

Wenger made a good calculation!

In the arena, Lucky is still not very used to it.

In the defensive midfielder position, the field of view is wider and there is not much pressing pressure, so there is more room for thinking.

But in the central midfield position, Lucky found himself needing to make quicker decisions.

Once you let the other party get close to you, everything will be in vain.

So you must not do it before the other party approaches you! You should make a plan for the next step after stopping the ball.

And this also requires more observation and thinking.

Can't bow!

Look up and observe!

Lucky's waist was slightly hunched, but he straightened up slightly, and his head began to turn left and right.

"Hey!"

Seeing this scene, Wenger couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Lucky turned his back to the attacker, constantly observing from left to right.

His eyes shifted between Walcott and Sanchez, and occasionally looked at Suarez, but not often.

The most important thing is to distribute the ball on both sides.

At the same time, Lucky moved to the left, Kanter looked up at himself, and Lucky nodded slightly.

Kanter passed the ball.

At this moment, Lucky immediately turned his head to look at Walcott, and used his peripheral vision to look at the defensive players of Crystal Palace who were about to approach.

He immediately turned his head and took the initiative to face the rolling ball.

He did not stop the ball, but moved the ball to the left, forming a sideways position, while looking up at Sanchez.

The Crystal Palace players were also in position at this time, preparing to force Lucky to pass back as before.

Lucky lowered his head again and made a passing motion.

Crystal Palace players subconsciously slowed down.

At this time, Lucky's foot that was supposed to pass the ball suddenly made an inward dunk, quickly turned around and passed by the Crystal Palace player.

The Crystal Palace player was startled and stretched out his hand.

He grabbed Lucai's jersey, but Lucai's speed could not support him to get rid of him directly.

But that's enough!

I saw Lucky looking down at the ball. He had already seen the direction of Walcott's running in his previous 'foreseeing'.

Lucky still lowered his head and pumped the ball hard with the outside instep.

The ball passed through the middle area between the full-back and the center back like an arrow, and there was a roundabout deceleration.

At this time, Walcott also shot diagonally and easily got the ball.

"pretty!!!"

Wenger and Patrice yelled subconsciously.

This pass is incredible!

The characteristics of the central midfielder position are fully demonstrated.

Although Lucky failed to get rid of it, this through ball has made up for a lot.

Watch Walcott now

In the hopeful eyes of Wenger and Patrice, Walcott directly kicked the ball away.

"Ah~~~!!!"

Walcott held his head and howled in pain.

Such stinky feet!

Lucky also took a idle kick on the grass, so why was it scrapped like this?

I wanted to scold Walcott, but the latter said quietly: "Kay! You scared me!"

Lucky was stunned.

What?

"How did you know I would run here?" Walcott raised his index finger and said; "You just glanced at me, and you didn't even look at me before passing the ball."

Lucky blinked.

How did he say?

Did I foresee your movement?

Only ghosts believe it.

"Don't give excuses for your stinky feet!"

Lucky immediately cursed.

Seeing that Walcott was unable to change the subject, he said with a sad face, "I haven't played in a long time!"

Lucky opened his mouth and finally sighed.

no way.

Training matches are different from official matches.

Walcott has indeed not played for too long.

"Give you some time to adjust."

Lucky said.

Hearing this, Walcott beamed: "How did you do that just now? How did you see me?"

Lucky said; "I just saw the gap. If you run in place, that's your problem."

Walcott thought about it and found it quite reasonable.

He did see the opening and ran for it.

However, Lucky's inswing pass is a bit of a show off. After crossing the back line, it actually has a deceleration feature.

This passing technique is simply not awesome!

"Okay, turn around and get ready to compete for the ball!"

Lucky told Walcott to go back and at the same time turned around to fight for the top.

At this time, Lucai also licked his lips excitedly.

He seems to understand how a central midfielder should play.

After 20 minutes, Crystal Palace's defense became increasingly chaotic.

They all looked at Lucky with a hint of fear.

What's going on with this guy?

Lucky was not used to playing at the beginning and often made some mistakes.

But Lucky quickly adjusted and gradually started to play smoothly. Now his defense is even more in disarray.

The most important thing is that Lucai is different from ordinary central midfielders.

For central midfielders like Cazorla, the first step they do after holding the ball is to break away and dribble.

But Lucky is getting rid of/passing the ball.

Lucky's speed is not good and his agility is not good, so it is difficult to turn around and escape or even break through.

But Lucky can pass the ball!

Moreover, Lucky's ability to pass the threatening ball is not comparable to Cazorla!

Therefore, Lucai does not need to get rid of or break through at all, he only needs to distance himself and then pass the ball.

This kind of attack made Crystal Palace very anxious.

It's like a cannon is mounted on the front of the face, and the cannonballs directly hit the face.

Lucky's performance was unexpectedly brilliant.

Even Wenger and Patrice were a little confused.

Can a central midfielder still play like this?

Instead of being responsible for the catching point and breakthrough point in the frontcourt, he directly transformed into a passing machine.

Provide teammates with the fastest and most effective passing support at close range.

There is no comparison between Cazorla's and Lucky's playing styles.

These are two completely different ways of playing football.

But what is certain is that both are extremely threatening.

Moreover, Lucai's style of play can better mobilize the abilities of his teammates.

Cazorla was on the bench, and he stared blankly at Lucky, who turned into a gun mount on the court and kept transporting the ball to both sides, his eyes unblinking.

At the same time, he also saw the shocked expressions of Wenger and Patrice.

At this moment, Cazorla was a little scared.

‘I’m not going to lose my job, am I? ’
