Strong Waist

Arsenal's bombardment made Lyon play extremely passively, and facing waves of extremely threatening attacks, they dared not run out of the penalty area easily.

Even if they stayed in the penalty area, Lukaku's waves of impact made them feel exhausted.

Arsenal has many passing points, which also allows Lukaku to compete for the top in the penalty area.

Coupled with Lukaku's eagerness to score and his strong fighting spirit, Lyon became even more uncomfortable.

The French commentator almost lost his voice.

He didn't know how to comment on this game.

Since the start of the game, the trend of the game has far exceeded their expectations.

Under Arsenal's waves of attacks, Lyon was completely kicked and could not find any solution.

The Lyon fans at the scene were also confused and anxious.

In addition, they had a trace of anger!

This is their home court!

How did Lyon play like this at home?

However, the fans still did not give up cheering, they expected Lyon to counterattack through tenacious defense.

At this moment, Lyon's central defender suddenly grabbed the ball and kicked it forward.

I don't know if it was a fluke, the ball was about to fly to the running track of Lyon center forward Lacazette.

As long as Lacazette stopped the ball, if Arsenal's full-back failed to return to defense in the first time, they would have enough opportunities to threaten Arsenal's goal.

At this moment, Lyon fans stood up excitedly, they were looking forward to it!

"I'll do it!"

Jimenez suddenly ran forward.

Seeing the move of his central defender partner, Hummels immediately made a delayed position. His position was not particularly forward, but slightly moved to the side, mainly to compete for the second point.

At this time, the ball was about to fall.

Lyon center forward Lacazette also saw Jimenez rushing towards him.

For offensive players, as long as they realize the existence of defense, they will have a little nervous psychology.

Even professional players are no exception.

Jimenez went straight forward, and the two of them competed for the header.

However, Jimenez, who was a little slow, failed to catch up to the first point. The falling ball hit Lacazette's shoulder and flew diagonally forward.

Hummels was just at the landing point.

Facing the ball and pushing it forward easily, Lekai retreated to receive the ball and turned around immediately.

Lyon's counterattack was neatly destroyed by Arsenal.

"Lacazette failed to stop the ball for the first time, and the tacit understanding between Arsenal's two central defenders was also very good. One rushed up and the other protected the second point!"

"In a flash, Arsenal made a correct defensive cooperation!"

The French commentator pursed his lips and said: "Lyon needs more players to participate in the counterattack, not this kind of lucky ball, but a counterattack with an active plan!"

The words were said easily, but Lyon's players were exhausted.

Defense alone was enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention counterattack.

And even if they wanted to counterattack, they couldn't cross the midfield line.

Ramsey, Lukay and Kante almost occupied the key roads in the midfield. It was difficult for the ground ball to penetrate. As for the long pass, Lyon had no confidence that it could get past Arsenal's defense.

At this time, it was a bit unsolvable.

Tactically, it was restrained a little, but it was more of a reflection of the gap between the team type and even individual strength.

All these led to Lyon's inability to come up with enough counterattacks.

There was no winger in their team who was particularly good at running, and there were almost no breakthrough points.

Winter!

!

Swish!

!

!

A huge muffled sound suddenly sounded.

When the Lyon players turned their heads and looked over, they saw that the ball had entered their goal.

And the Arsenal fans at the scene had begun to cheer.

"World wave!

A long shot from outside the right penalty area penetrated Lyon's goal, and a diagonal long shot went straight into the dead corner! This shot is simply too beautiful!"

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Paul Mossen clapped his hands and laughed.

Lukay's long shot is not unfamiliar to Premier League fans and commentators.

But every time they see Lucky's violent aesthetics, they feel extremely comfortable.

This long shot can always ignite the passion in the hearts of fans.

Before the end of the first half, Arsenal once again expanded the score with Lucky's goal.

And this goal also made Lyon play a little confused.

They can defend inside the penalty area, but not outside the penalty area.

They huddled in the penalty area, but Lucky's long shot told them that Arsenal still has the ability to penetrate their goal.

And from Lucky's current state, this long shot may continue.

Pull out to limit Lucky?

But once pulled out, what should we do in the penalty area?

"Retreat a little! We can't defend!"

The defenders can only call on their teammates to retreat.

Their task is not to enter the penalty area, but they must block Lucky's shooting angle.

Anyway, Lyon's attack against Arsenal is basically in a state of collapse.

The scene is firmly controlled by Arsenal.

"Beautiful!"

At the coaching bench, Mourinho punched hard.

Lucky's goals always come at the perfect time.

When Lyon felt that they could seize the opportunity with their defensive counterattack, Lucky penetrated the opponent's goal with a long shot, giving them great pressure again.

At the same time, he also told them that even if they defended the penalty area, they would still face the risk of conceding the ball.

This goal caused the relatively stable defense that Lyon had finally established to be instantly broken.

The overall rhythm is moving in the direction of collapse.

Mourinho turned around and saw Lyon head coach Bruno Genesio looking very anxious.

He stood with the assistant coach, and the two had a heated discussion.

And the direction they pointed was where Lucky was.

Apparently Lucky gave them a huge headache.

Not just them, Lucky is a player that gives all opposing coaches a headache.

Mourinho knows this feeling well.

Because Lucky is always able to use an almost violent method to destroy the stability and system they have finally built.

Once this stability is broken, it will eventually either rebuild or completely collapse.

At this time, Lyon is at this critical juncture.

"So, what are they going to do?"

Mourinho's expression was quite relaxed.

On the one hand, the team is leading by two goals, and on the other hand, they are firmly in control of the initiative.

No matter what it is, they will not be overturned easily.

After Arsenal's second goal, they regained some of their offensive rhythm.

This also made Leon relieved.

But they also knew very well that Arsenal was trying to save energy for the second half.

With a two-goal lead in the first half, they didn't have to continue bombarding and wasting energy.

They were already able to cope in the second half with a big advantage.

On the other hand, Lyon is already in chaos.

Everyone was a little confused.

Can't find a breakthrough!

There is no rhythm to the football.

Unilaterally suppressed.

Even the midfielder can't hold the ball. If they pass the ball with at most four passes, they will be intercepted by Arsenal.

This huge gap in strength made Lyon feel desperate.

At the same time, they were extremely sad and angry.

Shit!

Such a team is actually playing in the Europa League?

Arsenal's strength has obviously surpassed everyone in the European League, and it feels like a massacre here.

Even in the Champions League, this is a winning team.

Before the game, they felt that the Premier League teams performed poorly in the European war, and this might also be an opportunity for them to win against Arsenal.

Moreover, Arsenal lost to Fenerbahce in the group stage, so they have the opportunity to exploit this vulnerability.

But once the game started, everything changed.

The state of Arsenal!

Their style of playing!

They quickly entered the game and suppressed like crazy.

At this time, Lyon players had been passively defending for half of the time.

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle and the time entered halftime that they could breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this time, they had almost no fighting spirit.

In fact, they have begun to worry about what to do in the second half.

This strength gap makes them feel that even if they find a suitable tactical arrangement, they will not be able to beat Arsenal.

After the entire first half, the only feeling Arsenal gave them was 'desperation'.
