Chapter 1173 Reaching the League Cup semi-finals
The Champions League opponents are sure that Juventus is the top seed in Serie A, but Arsenal are not afraid.
Supported by their recent excellent record, they don't think they will lose to Juventus.
Even if Juventus has Ronaldo's bonus.
The outside world is also saying the same thing. Even if Juventus has a single arrow C, the performance of the Argentine player Dybala is also very good.
But after all, it is a single ability, not transformed into a team.
Facing Arsenal, which has a strong team and a strong record, Juventus' chances of winning are really too small.
After the Champions League grouping is confirmed, Arsenal began to prepare for the league and the League Cup.
On December 12, the English League Cup will usher in the quarter-finals.
Arsenal's opponent is Chelsea in the same city.
This draw is not very good, after all, there are many weaker teams.
But Arsenal fans at this time said that there was no problem with the draw.
They think Chelsea can't pose a threat to them.
After playing Manchester United, Arsenal played two more league games.
Still won two rounds.
They extended the win to 16 wins and 1 draw.
At home and away, Arsenal defeated Hadfield and Southampton respectively.
In the two games, Arsenal scored a total of 4 goals, not many goals, but they did not concede any goals.
After two games of 2:0, Arsenal still maintained a steady state.
What's more, Arsenal played in rotation in these two games.
Arsenal's madness continues.
Moreover, in the rotation, the main players get enough rest, and they don't have any injuries or hidden dangers in physical fitness, so they can smoothly transition to the second half of the season.
Arsenal's state is like a rainbow, which makes Dembele, who is far away in Spain, secretly looking forward to the moment when he comes to Arsenal.
He is still a transparent person in Barcelona, and it is difficult to get a chance from Valverde.
And in Arsenal, a brand new environment, he thinks he can get more opportunities.
What's more, Arsenal's performance is so amazing now.
Today, Dembele is thinking every day about how he can fit into the Arsenal team and what he can bring to the team.
The more you think about it, the more excited you become, and the more excited you become, the more you look forward to it.
It can be said that during this period of time, Dembele is living with his fingers. He hopes that the winter window will open as soon as possible, and he will appear in London as soon as possible.
As for Arsenal, with the momentum of two victories, they came to the League Cup again.
In the game against Chelsea, Arsenal once again showed a terrifying suppression.
In less than 10 minutes, Arsenal scored the first goal with Giroud's header.
"Giroud!! Fantastic header!"
"David Luiz, he can't compete with Giroud at all, especially in the header competition. Of course, Erdegaard's pass is also extremely clever, and the more the opponent's full-backs are on the head, It can be said that there is a difference of a thousand miles!"
"Arsenal's madness continues!"
Le Kai watched Arsenal's performance off the field and applauded lightly.
In this game, Lucky takes a break.
Kante and Giroud lead the team against Chelsea.
Of course, facing Chelsea, Mourinho did not dare to make large-scale substitutions.
Most of the main players are on the field, but the midfield position is composed of Odegaard, Ramsey and Kante.
But even so, Arsenal's defense is still rock solid.
In the field, as the game progressed, Arsenal played better and better.
The teenager Erdegaard also found the feeling of the game, and after experiencing the Manchester United game, he became more confident and calm.
In many cases, Erdegaard's passes are very concealed and unexpected.
Although he failed to pass the sharp through ball like Lucky, he still relied on his own ability to continuously deliver shells to the team.
In particular, there seems to be some kind of strange tacit understanding between Odegaard and Giroud.
The cooperation between the two has become a lot more, and even the team's offense has become smoother.
"Odegaard is getting better and better!"
There was a hint of emotion in Wilshere's tone.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Wilshere recalled his state at that time, but he had to admit that Erdegaard was getting better at this time.
"His weakness is the psychological level and some lazy habits. After these rectifications, his own talent will be brought into play. Look! He played very smoothly in the frontcourt."
Lucky laughed.
Seeing Erdegaard's outstanding performance, Le Kai felt joy in his heart, as if he had taught a good apprentice.
Of course, Lucky's training should be very simple and rough.
It is a one-on-one confrontation with Erdegaard, but this is also the right medicine, which just makes up for Erdegaard's shortcomings, so his performance today has become very good.
But the only problem is that Odegaard and Aubameyang on the left seem to be out of tune.
For this reason, Odegaard will put more offense on Mane on the right.
This also caused Aubameyang not to like Erdegaard very much.
After all, no one likes a guy who doesn't pass the ball to himself.
Whenever Odegaard played, Aubameyang's performance would plummet. Sometimes, he suspected that he had any conflicts with Odegaard.
But that's purely a matter of style of play.
The cooperation between the two cannot be played out, and Erdegaard will naturally choose a better match.
In this regard, the striker is at a disadvantage.
After all, if you want to score goals, you have to please the midfielder. If you don't pass the ball from the midfielder, you still score a goal.
On the other hand, Mane and Giroud performed well.
Odegaard is different from Lucky.
Lucky's advancement needs to be pulled back and forth continuously to get the effect.
Although this effect is very direct, it is far less refreshing than Erdegaard's domineering, pressing the opponent to the death hammer.
Of course, the same is true of Lucy when he was young.
But as he matured and formed his own style of play, Lucky's style of play also began to change.
In the second half, after the kick-off, Arsenal once again passed a long pass from Robertson to directly cooperate with Aubameyang.
As a full-back, Robertson's long balls on the offensive end are extremely accurate.
Sometimes, due to the existence of Lucky, he will be more responsible for the forward drive on the right side, but there are few opportunities for long passes.
Now without Lucky, Robertson can also directly join the offense.
And this long pass accurately hit the gap in Chelsea's backcourt. Aubameyang moved forward and swept the ball across.
Giroud followed up with a tackle and scored another goal.
Arsenal lead by two goals.
Giroud scored twice!
After two goals, Arsenal started to make substitutions.
"Go up and stabilize your state!"
Chelsea is still worrying about the problem of falling behind, thinking about how to regain the situation.
But there was a sudden burst of cheers in the arena.
Cheers rushed to the sidelines.
They saw Lucky and Saka standing on the sidelines.
Leaving aside the latter, what does Lucky mean?
They are still behind at this moment, and now Le Kai is coming up, so should the game continue?
This is not giving at all!
Odegao and Aubameyang end.
Both have their own gains, so they are still very satisfied.
On the court, Saka pushed Lucky with his arm.
When Le Kai turned his head to look over, Saka smiled shyly, which was obvious.
'Boss, I want to score! '
Lucky couldn't help laughing.
But seeing Saka's expression, Le Kai nodded and said that he would pass on the opportunity.
After Lucky played, Chelsea's already compressed formation became even more difficult to maintain.
Lucky didn't fight too hard, just like what Mourinho said, Lucky just ran around, passed the ball, and was in a stable state.
But even so, Chelsea have had enough.
When Lucky gave Saka a diagonal through ball.
Saka stepped on his bicycle continuously, passed Chelsea's full-back Alonso, and then made a horizontal cut inward, pulling out the shooting space, and directly hitting the goal from a small angle.
The ball hit the net.
The two played tightly for 6 minutes, and Saka scored a goal.
The score was also extended to 3:0.
This time, Arsenal are sure to win.
Chelsea's resistance has also become less intense, obviously they are also aware of the problem that they are about to lose.
After 90 minutes, the whistle sounded for the end of the game.
Arsenal successfully reached the semi-finals of the League Cup.
Chelsea, on the other hand, were knocked out of the Carabao Cup.
Today's Arsenal only needs to finish the double round-robin semi-finals at home and away in January.
The Carabao Cup final in February.
If they can defeat their opponents, they will win the second championship trophy this season after the Community Shield champion.
