Strong Waist

Giroud is willing to learn and integrate into the team, and his style of play is also focused on integrating into the team as soon as possible.

This can be seen from his willingness to observe the movements of his teammates and learn how they feel comfortable playing.

Compared to Lukaku, Giroud should be able to integrate into the team faster.

And judging from the current situation, Giroud's retracement not only connects the forward attack, but also connects the forward thrust of the midfielder.

This is a very important point, because it means that when Arsenal is in the center position with Giroud, other players can also exert sufficient offensive effect.

This attack similar to Lucky's is just a phenomenon. If Kanter and Wilshere are replaced, even the full-back's cross-cutting can achieve the same shot.

Arsenal's offensive style has also become richer.

The game starts again.

Lucky's goal made Stoke City even more anxious. They are playing at home. If they lose at home, this will be very detrimental to their early season form.

Even if we can't win and get three points, it's still a draw.

And getting a draw from Arsenal is extremely valuable. After all, from Stoke City's perspective, it is difficult for other teams to do this.

For this reason, Stoke City's offense began to become fierce.

But Arsenal's defense was too solid.

Stoke City's offense is still in the form of long passes, and the 'City in the Sky' still wants to rely on aerial battles to win.

But every time they hit the ball high, it was difficult to get the first point. This allowed Arsenal to frequently make clearances and even launch effective counterattacks.

"Arsenal's positioning on the defensive end is very intensive. After Kai scored, he retreated directly and chose to defend. Moreover, under the leadership of Kai, Arsenal's pressing in the midfield and frontcourt was also very good. Stoke City"

Before he finished speaking, Stoke City made a mistake in the frontcourt when facing Arsenal's pressing.

When the backcourt player received the ball, the first kick failed to stop, which gave Aubameyang a chance to advance.

Aubameyang used his speed to rush directly over. Facing the panicked Stoke City defender, Aubameyang used his flexible body to complete the press and immediately launched a counterattack.

"Aubameyang! Steal!!"

"Stoke City centre-back Shaw Crosso made a big mistake. Can Arsenal seize this opportunity?"

Amid the boos from the Stoke City fans, Aubameyang moved forward quickly. When he opened his position, he looked up and observed.

Seeing Giroud who was also crossing on the right side, and the opponent's goalkeeper had already reached his side, Aubameyang made a selfless cross.

Giroud easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

Arsenal 2:0 Stoke City.

Giroud came on as a substitute, passing and shooting!

"Oliver Giroud!!! This is the efficiency of the French center. In less than 20 minutes, he has helped Arsenal score two goals in a row. One pass and one shot completely killed the suspense of the game!"

"After Stoke City lost to Everton away from home in the first round, they will suffer a heavy blow from Arsenal at home in the second round!"

"The game time has reached the 89th minute, and Arsenal used Giroud's last goal to completely kill the suspense!"

Andy Gray had basically unilaterally declared the game over.

Anyone can see that Stoke City has been extremely passive so far in the game.

The first half was better. Facing Lukaku who frequently missed opportunities, they were able to play more steadily.

But after Giroud came on the field, the game environment suddenly changed.

Two consecutive goals in 20 minutes, the game is basically over.

"pretty!!!!"

Arsenal players, including Lucky, also cheered vigorously.

This goal made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Although nothing can be seen at the beginning of the season, every victory can boost enough morale.

Arsenal lack this kind of morale now, and for this reason they play very hard in every game.

Winning this game will give them two consecutive wins since the start of the league, which is very good news for Arsenal's start.

The few Arsenal fans at the scene also cheered loudly.

After a boring first half, Arsenal scored two consecutive goals in the second half, this time igniting their enthusiasm.

The same is true for the Arsenal fans gathered in the London area. They have begun to excitedly discuss this player named 'Oliver Giroud'.

In the coaching bench, Mourinho and others are also determined.

Two goals basically determined the victory of the game.

But what pleased them most was Giroud's performance.

He fully exerts his role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt, and can then shoot, and when he retreats, he can ball, distribute the ball and even organize.

Although Giroud currently interacts more with the midfielder, they believe that Giroud will also be able to respond to the wing in the future.

By then, Arsenal's offense will become more threatening.

Arsenal's second goal completely took the game out of suspense.

And Stoke City also lost momentum.

In the next minute and injury time, Arsenal played more cautiously and steadily, not giving Stoke City any chance.

Mourinho also quietly replaced two defensive players to increase the thickness of the defense.

In this case, Stoke City basically lost the ability to counterattack.

In the end, Arsenal won the game with these two goals.

Three whistles.

The game is completely over.

In the second round of the 2017\\/2018 Premier League season, Stoke City lost to Arsenal 0:2 and lost the game at home.

Arsenal got a precious three points away from home!

This start is very good for the development of their league.

This also made Arsenal players smile brightly after the game.

If anyone is unhappy, it's Lukaku.

Of course, Lukaku complained more about himself. He knew very well that he missed too many opportunities, otherwise the game would not have been delayed to this time.

What he needs to do is to adjust his condition quickly, and then prove himself again when the opportunity comes.

At present, he is not sure, but Mourinho is really likely to give Giroud more opportunities.

On the one hand, it is to hone a new tactical system, on the other hand, Giroud is in better condition.

During the post-game press conference, Lucai also sat at the press conference.

Facing reporters’ questions, Lucky responded uniformly.

"Since the start of the season, we have tried our best to win every game and constantly adjust our state. This victory is extremely precious and has great significance for our future league development!"

"As for Lukaku's problem, in my opinion, he is still an excellent center and a perfect offensive terminator. However, there is something wrong with his condition, but I think he will adjust soon."

Next, the media asked Lucai about the Champions League.

"At the moment, I don't have too many ideas. After all, the Champions League groupings have not been determined, but no matter who the opponent is, we will go all out to win!"

"As for the team I want to meet the most, I think it should be Barcelona. After all, they kicked us out of the Champions League two seasons ago!"

Most of the answers are in the more official form.

The media were unable to extract more bad information from Lucky.

They originally wanted to focus on Mourinho, but the latter quickly left with Lucky.

Seeing the two people leaving, the press conference ended quickly.

Compared to Arsenal, they really have no interest in Stoke City.

The game ended and Arsenal headed home that day.

Although the season is not intense, they still need training to maintain their condition.

At the same time, some of the tactics used in today’s game must be continued to be consolidated in training.

The bus ride back was quiet.

Some people are sleeping, some are looking out the window, some are listening to music,

Although each was doing their own thing, the image of today's game was still in their minds.

Although Mourinho did not organize the summary, they have already begun to summarize it in their minds.

This game was a bit unfinished.

In some places, they can obviously do better.

With some cooperation, he can obviously play well.

Some mistakes could have been avoided, etc.

Before we knew it, the bus was back at the training base in London.

Mourinho did not keep the players, but directly dismissed them and let them go back to rest.

The summary and discussion will be carried out the next day.
