Chapter 736 Satisfied Lukaku
Chapter 736 Satisfied Lukaku
Usmanov’s generosity has enabled Arsenal to have sufficient funds again during the transfer period.
Although the Premier League players are generally strong, Arsenal have too many expenditures, 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 promise, Arsenal has a lot of money left. This allows them to flex their muscles again in the transfer market.
Mourinho is now ambitious. During his time at Arsenal, he has lived every day to the fullest.
Watching the lineup he designed slowly realize its strength and move towards his expected goal, this feeling makes Mourinho extremely satisfied.
Of course, he will not stop, he still wants a lot.
With the end of the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals, Arsenal needs 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 bad.
As the Premier League champions of last season, they participated in the Champions League for the first time in the history of this season and reached the knockout stage, but they were eliminated soon.
Due to too much attention to the Champions League, their results in the league are also a mess.
The team has entered a wave of injuries, the state is sluggish, etc., all of which make Leicester City and the fans worry.
Fortunately, their top scorer Vardy returned from injury, guaranteeing Leicester City a certain scoring ability.
But can Vardy be as good as before the injury?
This has yet to be verified!
In the 28th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged Leicester City away.
When Leicester City faced Arsenal in the first half of the season, they played very well. Although they failed to win in the end, they were still considered a formidable opponent.
But whether the current Leicester City can still pose a threat to Arsenal is unknown.
In the evening, the fans poured into Leicester City’s home court with beers in their hands after eating.
Leicester City fans are optimistic. Although the team’s state is not good, they still support the home team very much.
Perhaps last season’s championship 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 intense!
This also proves from the side the support of Leicester City fans for the home team.
But soon, the cheers suddenly suffocated, and all Leicester City fans began to exclaim.
Under their watchful eyes, Aubameyang passed the ball to the middle, and Le Kai jumped up and suppressed the Leicester City defender.
Lucky’s flying height is very high, and his whole body is extremely stretched in the air, but under the defense of two defenders, Lucky can’t make a header and can only move over.
When Le Kai was disturbed, the ball flew too straight, and the goalkeeper flew to block the ball.
The ball rolled into the penalty area again.
In a burst of confusion, Lukaku squeezed out of the crowd, and the moment he fell to the ground, he poked the ball with his toe.
The ball went into the net.
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!”
“Lukaku ushered in his 22nd goal of the season. After three consecutive games with no results, he once again helped Arsenal score successfully!”
Amidst the cheers of the commentator, Lukaku rushed to the corner kick area, jumped up vigorously, and vented his inner passion by waving his arms fiercely in the air.
“In the 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 Luzan said: “Lukaku! This is no longer the stunned young man in front of the goal. With his active role in front of the goal, Arsenal took the lead in 26 minutes.”
Arsenal players celebrated around Lukaku.
Lukaku is also extremely happy.
Finally opened up the number of goals, and the pressure was reduced a bit.
“another one!”
Lucky smiled and encouraged Lukaku.
The latter also nodded again and again, who would dislike the lack of goals!
The Leicester City fans at the scene were a little depressed.
Although they hoped that Leicester City could play a wonderful game before the game and beat Arsenal at home if possible, even though they knew that this possibility was very small, they were looking forward to these things after all.
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 restarts!
After conceding the ball, Leicester City launched a fierce attack in a short time to equalize the score.
The offense is mainly based on Vardy.
But after returning from injury, Vardy didn’t seem to find his status in the first game.
Lucky almost didn’t care about him, but Arsenal’s defenders had completely restricted him by themselves.
In a total of three attacks, Vardy barely hit the goal once, and this shot was also a soaring cannon, and the ball flew directly into the stands.
With Vardy unable to play a role, Leicester City’s counterattack also became weak.
On the other hand, Arsenal seized the opportunity and launched an attack again.
Taking advantage of your illness, I will kill you!
Lucky made a precise long pass and found Mane who was going forward.
Facing the defense of the opponent’s defender, Mane directly smashed the ball inside and shifted laterally.
This inside kick stop is extremely silky, not only passing the opponent’s full back, but also pulling away.
As soon as he saw that there was a gap to shoot, Mane did not hesitate and shot angrily.
The ball hit the crossbar with a ding and bounced out.
And Lukaku just rushed to the landing point, took off vigorously, and scored with a header.
In 40 minutes of the first half, Lukaku scored twice!
Now, Lukaku’s happy face burst into a smile.
Two goals, this goal came too timely.
Arsenal also gained a huge advantage by virtue of this goal.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Arsenal is no longer committed to offense, but more inclined to defense.
Leicester City’s offense is not strong, and there are hardly any gaps.
Their passing line was blocked by Arsenal, and there was no chance at all.
In this case, Leicester City tried their best and failed to tear apart Arsenal’s defense.
Until 70 minutes, Mourinho made a substitution.
Lukaku and Aubameyang were replaced.
In the process of leaving the field, the smile on Lukaku’s face was still bright, and he left the field after scoring two goals, which was perfect.
Although he failed to stage a hat-trick, it was enough to satisfy.
The camera is also aimed at Lukaku off the court. As the biggest hero of the game, Lukaku is sitting on the bench, chatting and laughing with his teammates next to him with a satisfied face.
“This Lukaku!”
Zhan Jun couldn’t help laughing.
“The two goals widened the gap and kept the advantage in the scorer list. Lukaku smiled like a child.”
Zhang Lu also laughed; “His biggest competitor comes from within the team, and he is also the captain!”
When the two were joking about Lukaku, there was another exclamation in the arena.
Leicester City did not attack properly, resulting in a loss of the ball in the center circle.
The terrible thing is that Le Kai happened to steal the ball.
Le Kai took the ball and ran straight to counterattack.
Arsenal’s other players also rushed forward to open up the defense for Lucai.
Le Kai moved forward all the way, running extremely fast.
The last simple bicycle swayed the center of gravity of the Leicester City defender, and after pulling away from his body, he immediately kicked up and shot.
The ball has a small arc, jabbing into the goal from the goalkeeper’s fingertips.
Arsenal expanded the score again in stoppage time, which also means that there is no suspense in the game.
Lucky’s goal made Arsenal’s players celebrate again.
But among the cheering crowd, there was only one with a dazed expression.
Lukaku put his hands on his head.
How did you score a goal?
Why is the captain scoring the goal?
Really haunted?
After finally getting to the gap of three goals, now it has become two goals again!
Lucky’s 21st goal this season, this is also Lucky’s single-season scoring record, and this record will continue to be refreshed.
With Lucky’s goal, the game came to an end.
Leicester City lost to Arsenal 0:3 at home and eventually lost the game.
Arsenal took the three points of the victory, further stabilizing their position in the standings.
This season, Arsenal must win the Champions League qualification.
