Strong Waist

Giroud's appearance was accompanied by major changes in Arsenal's tactics.

From the previous defensive counterattack to the proactive type.

Giroud's fulcrum role in the frontcourt requires the support of the midfielders, which also requires Arsenal to press more intensely in the midfield and frontcourt.

This tactic is somewhat similar to Tottenham Hotspur, but compared to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal has just come into contact with this style of play, so the model and scale are simpler.

However, this is still in the exploratory stage. Once it is stabilized, other derived combinations can be enriched in an instant.

Giroud trotted to the front position, surrounded by opposing players, which is where he is most familiar.

How to effectively play the ball for teammates or shoot directly in a limited space is the biggest problem that tests the center.

In the past period of training, Giroud has been getting along well with Arsenal, and his appearance on the field now is to verify this.

As Giroud appeared, Arsenal's coaches also sat upright, picking up the notebooks in their hands one by one. Their task was to record various data.

After looking at Giroud, Lucky shouted towards the frontcourt; "Take your time at the beginning and get used to the rhythm of the game!"

Lucky was obviously shouting at Giroud. He was afraid that Giroud would be too impatient due to being too excited.

Giroud is also very experienced in this.

He nodded in response to Lucai and immediately withdrew from the penalty area.

Arsenal's side kick and Giroud's withdrawal from the penalty area made the Leicester City players a little uncomfortable.

Mainly because after adapting to Lukaku's battering ram mode in the penalty area, they will face another style of center.

Giroud obviously doesn't want to play like Lukaku.

After seeing Giroud's action, Lucky passed the ball back to the defense.

Arsenal's overall defense also began to press forward slightly.

Even the central defender frequently looked towards the frontcourt during the scoring process.

Due to the forward position of the defender and the retreat of the center, Arsenal's overall position is relatively flat, shortening the distance between the defender and the center, and they can directly form linkage.

Of course, this position is always changing and sometimes stretched.

But every time there was a point of contact, Hummels and Jimenez would look up.

But in most cases, it is Hummels who performs such operations. After all, compared to Jimenez, the former is better at delivering the ball.

At the same time, Wilshere frequently turned his head to observe.

In the entire Arsenal formation, except for Lucky and Kanter, whose playing styles have not changed, the actions and running of the others have changed.

And this change also made Leicester City feel some inexplicable uneasiness.

Arsenal feels like a tightened arrow string at this time, ready to shoot a fatal arrow at any time.

However, they don't know how to implement it in detail.

They also didn't know how to deal with Giroud who frequently retreated and moved back and forth.

Should I chase him out or stay still?

Under Arsenal's tactical change, Leicester City's defense became more and more anxious.

"Arsenal's passing distance is very deep and decisive, and they frequently push forward. In this case, Leicester City's defense line has also become more frequent. Despite the current position, Giannis who retreated Lu didn’t touch the ball, but every time he retreated, he would affect Leicester City’s defense. We can look forward to what kind of game Giroud will play!”

On-site commentator George Adams is still very optimistic about Giroud.

Fans who have watched the European Cup will understand Giroud's position in the French team and his playing style.

Many Arsenal fans have grafted it into Arsenal's lineup.

And compared to the French team, they are confident that Arsenal's midfield and backfield lineup are stronger.

With the support provided by Lucky and others, it is indeed exciting to see what kind of game Giroud will play.

But what they don't know is that Giroud's performance will not be linked to Lucky.

There is no tactical cooperation between the two yet.

More closely connected to Giroud is Wilshere.

At this time, Wilshere was constantly observing, and through repeated tests, they had made Leicester City's defense even more uneasy.

What Arsenal need to do now is to look for opportunities to kill in this uneasiness.

Thinking of this, Wilshere took the initiative to ask for the ball, and then began to pass it to Giroud frequently.

Giroud didn't know why, but he still distributed the ball towards the wings.

As long as Giroud retreats, the two wings will have a chance to break through.

But Leicester City can always block it quickly.

But with each impact, the pressure on Leicester City is increasing day by day.

"Can't continue like this!"

"Don't let him keep passing the ball!"

Maguire couldn't help shouting.

They cannot put danger at the back.

Giroud separated the sides again and again. Although he failed to pose a threat, no one can guarantee that the next goal will still be like this.

Arsenal's touch point is too deep, which is not a good thing for Leicester City.

Soon, when Giroud retreats, Maguire will follow up to restrict.

The other central defender will be more centrally positioned, on the one hand to expand the defensive area, and on the other hand to make up for the position.

But Maguire was also prepared to prevent Giroud from turning around and hitting the goal directly.

Seeing the changes in Leicester City, Wilshere felt that the opportunity had come.

This time, Hummels received the back pass and Leicester City did not press forward, which also allowed Hummels to observe better.

When he was observing, he found that Wilshere had given up his position slightly, and this position just connected with the gap left by Wilshere.

Meanwhile, Hummels made eye contact with Giroud.

The two acted almost simultaneously.

Hummels passed the ball towards the gap, and Giroud suddenly started to retreat!

Giroud's retracement prompted the entire Leicester City defense to react quickly.

Maguire even caught up to restrict it.

The ball is about to reach Giroud.

Maguire suddenly stuck up.

"Don't even think about turning around!"

Maguire's idea is simple, as long as he forces the opponent to pass the ball towards the wings, with full-backs guarding both sides, Leicester City can also defend it.

But at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from behind.

"Harry! Watch out!"

Be careful about what?

Maguire doesn't understand.

The next second, he saw Giroud facing the ball with his outside instep and turning to the right.

The ball flew to the side and behind the two of them.

At the same time, a figure quickly passed by the two of them.

Maguire's eyes widened.

Wilshere quickly caught up with the ball and stepped directly into the penalty area.

At this time, Leicester City's defense was also unaware of the situation.

Becoming nervous instantly.

Maguire did not retreat in time, and the two full-backs had to be wary of the wingers, so the remaining center back Morgan could only restrict it.

"I come!"

Morgan rushed toward Wilshere, but before he could get close.

Wilshere distributes the ball towards where he was before.

Morgan turned his head and saw that Giroud suddenly stepped forward in an empty position.

Behind him, Maguire was nearly three positions behind.

"Arsenal!!! Opportunity!!!"

"Girou!!!!!!!!!"

The major commentators stood up in surprise.

Mourinho also stood up suddenly off the court, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Giroud faced the goalkeeper, his expression was extremely calm, and he pushed the ball in the opposite direction.

The goalkeeper's center of gravity was always on the left side and he wanted to force it to the right side, but before he could move over, the ball had already entered the net.

In the 77th minute, Giroud received a pass from Wilshere, and the two completed a wonderful collaboration to expand the score again.

"pretty!!!--"

Mourinho pumped his fist excitedly.

Even happier than the previous two goals.

Giroud's goal means that Arsenal's tactics are no problem. This center retreat tactic directly connects the front-middle-backfield.

Hummels launched the attack, Giroud retreated to play the ball, and Wilshere advanced forward.

In the end, Giroud relied on his agility to turn and distance himself from Maguire, received Wilshere's pass, and scored easily.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and a large hole in Leicester City's defense was directly torn open during the attack.

And Giroud also made his debut and first goal after joining Arsenal!

It can be said that this goal is perfect!

The strategy was a complete success!

Signings also get results!

All parties are satisfied and happy.

The only one who is unhappy is Lukaku!

Lukaku looked depressed. Although he scored, Giroud also scored.

This means that his main position is still not stable enough.
