Strong Waist

Chapter 93: Satisfied Lukaku

Usmanov's contribution made Arsenal once again have sufficient funds during the transfer period.

Although the Premier League players are generally strong, Arsenal has too many expenses, causing their financial problems to be at an extremely urgent stage.

Player salaries, stadium loans, Usmanov's loans, etc. are all ways Arsenal need to use funds, but fortunately with Usmanov's commitment, Arsenal has a lot of money left. This allows them to flex their muscles in the transfer market again.

Mourinho is now considered ambitious. During his time at Arsenal, he lived an extremely fulfilling life every day.

Mourinho is extremely satisfied with the feeling of watching the lineup he designed slowly realize its strength and move towards the goal he envisioned.

Of course, he won't stop, he still wants a lot.

With the end of the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, Arsenal need to prepare for the league again.

Their opponent in the next round is Leicester City.

The recent state of Leicester City can be described as terrible.

As the Premier League champions last season, they participated in the Champions League for the first time in this season's history and reached the knockout stages, but were quickly eliminated.

Due to too much focus on the Champions League, their results in the league are also in shambles.

The team has entered a wave of injuries, sluggish form, etc., which has made Leicester City and its fans worried.

Fortunately, their top scorer Vardy returned from injury, ensuring Leicester City's certain scoring ability.

But can Vardy be as good as he was before the injury?

This needs to be verified!

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged Leicester City away from home.

Leicester City played very well against Arsenal in the first half of the season. Although they failed to win in the end, they were still considered a strong opponent.

But it is unclear whether Leicester City can still pose a threat to Arsenal.

In the evening, fans finished their meal and poured into Leicester City's home court with beer in hand.

Leicester City fans are optimistic. Although the team's condition is not good, they still support the home team extremely.

Perhaps it was last season's championship that made them more united and loving. Despite the poor results, the team's support is still very high.

The cheers in the arena were extremely fierce!

This also proves the support of Leicester City fans for the home team from the side.

But soon, the cheers suddenly stopped, and all the Leicester City fans began to scream in surprise.

Under their gaze, Aubameyang passed the ball to the center. Lucky jumped up and suppressed the Manchester City defender.

Lucky's height in the air was very high, and he was extremely stretched in the air. However, under the protection of two defenders, Lucky was unable to head the ball and could only move forward.

When Lucai was disturbed, the flight angle of the ball was too correct, and the goalkeeper flew to block the ball.

The ball rolled back into the penalty area.

In the chaos, Lukaku squeezed out of the crowd, and the moment he fell to the ground, he poked the ball with his toe.

The ball entered the net smoothly.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Lukaku ushered in his 22nd goal of the season. After three consecutive games without scoring, he once again helped Arsenal score successfully!"

Amid the cheers of the commentator, Lukaku flew to the corner area, jumped up hard, and waved his arms fiercely in the air to vent his inner passion.

"In that fight just now, Lukaku really fought hard! He scored a goal under the pressure of three Leicester City defenders. Although he was pushed down by the opponent, he still ended the attack with a shovel shot!"

Zhang Lu praised: "Lukaku! This is no longer the dazed young man who was in front of the goal. With his active role in front of the goal, Arsenal took the lead in the 26th minute."

Arsenal players gathered around Lukaku to celebrate.

Lukaku is also extremely happy.

Finally, the number of goals was increased, and the pressure was somewhat reduced.

"another one!"

Lucky smiled and encouraged Lukaku.

The latter also nodded repeatedly. Who would dislike scoring less goals!

The mood of the Leicester City fans at the scene was a little low.

Although before the game they hoped that Leicester City could play a wonderful game and if possible beat Arsenal at home, even though they knew that this possibility was slim, they still looked forward to these things.

But with this goal, their expectations were completely shattered.

At this time, Leicester City fans are not only thinking, if it was last season, would they still play so passively?

The game begins again!

After Leicester City lost the ball, they started a fierce attack in a short period of time to equalize the score.

The offense is mainly based on Vardy.

But after returning from injury, Vardy seemed to have failed to find his form in his first game.

While Lucky almost ignored him, Arsenal's defenders took it upon themselves to completely restrict him.

In a total of three attacks, Vardy barely managed to hit the goal once, and this shot was also a shot into the sky, and the ball flew directly into the stands.

With Vardy unable to play his role, Leicester City's counterattack also became weak.

Arsenal, on the other hand, seized the opportunity and launched another attack.

While you are sick, I will kill you!

Lucky made a precise long pass and found Mane who was advancing.

Facing the defense of the opponent's defender, Mane directly smashed the ball inside and transferred it laterally.

This inside dunk stop was extremely smooth, not only passing the opponent's full-back, but also stretching his position.

As soon as he saw a gap for shooting, Mane didn't hesitate and fired furiously.

The ball hit the crossbar with a clang and bounced out.

And Lukaku just rushed to the landing point, jumped up hard, and scored with a header.

In 40 minutes of the first half, Lukaku scored two goals!

This time, Lukaku's happy face blossomed into a smile.

Two goals, this goal came too timely.

Arsenal also gained a huge advantage with this goal.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Arsenal are no longer committed to attack, but more defensive.

Leicester City's attack was not strong and they could hardly find any openings.

Their passing line was blocked by Arsenal and they had no chance at all.

In this case, Leicester City tried their best to break down Arsenal's defense.

It was not until the 70th minute that Mourinho made a substitution.

Lukaku and Aubameyang were substituted.

During the process of leaving the field, Lukaku still had a bright smile on his face. It was perfect to leave after scoring two goals.

Even though he failed to score a hat-trick, it was satisfying enough.

The camera was also focused on Lukaku off the court. As the biggest contributor to this game, Lukaku was sitting on the bench, talking and laughing with his teammates next to him with a satisfied look on his face.

"This Lukaku!"

Zhan Jun couldn't help laughing.

"The two goals widened the gap and maintained the advantage on the scorer list. Lukaku smiled like a child."

Zhang Lu also smiled; "His biggest competitor comes from within the team, and he is also the captain!"

When the two were joking about Lukaku, the stadium suddenly erupted in exclamations again.

Leicester City's attack was inappropriate and resulted in the ball being lost in the center circle.

What's terrible is that the ball happened to be intercepted by Lucai.

Lucky took the ball and ran straight to counterattack.

Arsenal's other players also rushed forward to open up the defense for Lucky.

Lucky moved forward, running extremely fast.

The last simple bicycle move shook the Leicester City defender's center of gravity, and after stretching his position, he immediately started to shoot.

The ball had a small arc and was thrown into the goal from the goalkeeper's fingertips.

Arsenal expanded the score again in stoppage time, which also meant that there was no suspense in the game.

Lucky's goal caused Arsenal's players to celebrate again.

But among the cheering crowd, there was only one who looked confused.

Lukaku put his hands on his head.

Why did you score a goal?

Why is it the captain who scores the goal?

Is it really just a lingering ghost?

We finally managed to close the three-goal gap, and now it’s two goals again!

Lucky's 21st goal this season is also Lucky's single-season scoring record, and this record will continue to be refreshed.

With Lucky's goal, the game was completely over.

Leicester City lost to Arsenal 0:3 at home and ultimately lost the game.
