What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 259 Paye's Seed of Revenge

"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"Arsenal's formation is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Petr Cech."

"Defenders: Bellerin, Maguire, Mustafi, Monreal."

"Double defensive midfielders: Xhaka and Li Kang."

"Central midfielder: Cazorla."

"Forwards: Walcott, Morata, Sanchez."

[I, Giroud, did not play again. 】

[My M4K6 combination is not on the field again. 】

[It proves that the professor has more and more cards in his hand. Giroud uses them to play positional battles, M4K6 recharges his energy to play key matches in the Champions League, and by the way, he leads the youth training children to play in the English League Cup. 】

[Don’t worry, when facing Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester City later, Koscielny will definitely play. 】

[Last season, Arsenal led by two goals in the first half, but were beaten three times in a row by the Hammers in the second half! 】

"West Ham United's formation is 4-4-2!"

"Goalkeeper: Adrian."

"Defenders: Masuaku, Reid, Collins, Antonio."

"Defensive midfielder: Cresswell, Nordveit."

"Wide midfielders: Payet, Kouyate."

"Forward: Carroll, Ayew!"

[Carroll, the last ‘traditional’ English center forward. 】

[The most authentic Premier League at this stage is one high and one fast. 】

[Don’t count, Ayew’s speed is not as fast as before. He is slowly transitioning to playing midfield. The Hammers’ actual formation should be 4-5-1! 】

[No, Payet is a free agent in the frontcourt, and the actual formation is 4-3-3! 】

[Ayew’s jumping is very abnormal, and his ability to grab points with his header is outstanding. This striker combination should still be a 4-4-2 ‘double ghost hitting the goal’! 】

The radio at the Emirates Stadium suddenly sounded "There is only one Arsene Wenger"

This song was written at the beginning of the century, but as the team got further and further away from the Premier League and Champions League championship trophies, it was gradually dusted by history.

The audience was ecstatic and sang in unison.

A few months ago this place was filled with slogans saying "Wenger is out".

Islington seems to have the warmest fans in the world at the moment.

Wenger looked calm and did not care about the praise and criticism from the outside world.

At this time, he was only worried that players would be injured on the field.

Players from both sides take their respective positions.

Li Kang repeatedly made several gestures towards his teammates.

Everyone understood.

Everyone can understand the very common international gestures, and the coaching staff also repeats the tactical deployment several times before the game.

Bilic took a few peeks, but his heart was unmoved.

Even if Arsenal has Mr. 200 million, it will be difficult to solve the flaws in the framework in a short time.

In the world of football, there are many competing tactical styles.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

West Ham United have the ball.

Carroll kicked off the ball and returned the ball into the backfield.

Arsenal's formation quickly pressed forward.

There was no sign of a fast break.

The two sides looked like they were keeping a distance and testing each other.

The football was passed smoothly in the West Ham United backcourt, and several attempts to advance were disrupted by Li Kang, who was active in the center circle.

The scene is a bit dull.

The Emirates Stadium quickly fell silent, like the Stamford Bridge library.

Time passes slowly.

Both teams are waiting for the most suitable time to speed up.

Arsenal's frontcourt players pressed hard.

West Ham United's attackers have not been idle either.

Paye for example.

He was no longer as humble and polite as he was in the player tunnel, but instead surrounded Li Kang and talked all kinds of trash.

It seems that the grievances from the European Cup semi-finals are to be poured out at once.

Li Kang's expression was calm.

The defensive tendencies were not disturbed in any way.

Some experts believe that trash talking can be classified as part of football culture.

For example, in the 2006 World Cup final: Materazzi used the trash talk "I'm going to fuck your a**" to successfully anger Zidane, leaving a famous scene that will forever be remembered in football history.

"Bililic's team was in no rush to attack."

"When Wenger meets a team outside of the BIG6, he will put more pressure in the frontcourt."

"The two West Ham midfielders have a very high level of defusing the press. They still can't break out and the football returns to the goalkeeper's feet."

The moment goalkeeper Adrian stopped the ball, his pupils shrank.

A tall figure stepped forward quickly, menacingly.

The Hammers goalkeeper was frightened and dunked the ball, barely avoiding Morata's press.

There were bursts of applause at the Emirates Stadium.

"Morata is becoming more and more comprehensive and has a strong ability to create pressure in the frontcourt."

Snapped.

The football was passed to Reid's feet.

Even though there were no Arsenal players around him, he did not kick the ball into the frontcourt.

The Hammer Gang can also be very delicate.

After advancing a few meters.

The football was given to Payet on the wing.

The Hammers suddenly sounded the horn of attack.

The overall formation presses forward like crazy.

Cazorla and Walcott decisively outflanked.

Payet suddenly increased his speed, dodged and moved inside, completely throwing away the two of them.

"The successor to Zidane."

"His characteristics are so distinct, his position is not fixed on the wing, and he brings vitality to West Ham United's midfield and frontcourt offense!"

“It’s hard to stop him if he’s defensive in anticipation of his position!!”

The nickname of Zidane's successor was not blown out of thin air.

Paye's growth process is also inspiring.

I used to be a clothing shopping guide, and my clothes folding skills were praised by customers.

Last season, he had a "double-double" record of 12 goals and 12 assists, and the number of threatening ball opportunities he created ranked first in the five major leagues, surpassing De Bruyne, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas, etc.

West Ham United's frontcourt players quickly opened up the attacking width.

Crazy erosion of Arsenal's half.

The offensive method is very simple but very effective.

Courtside.

Boulder frowned and said: "Boss, it's very likely that they won't need to advance to the thirty-meter area. They will just pass the ball directly."

Wenger nodded: "It doesn't matter, Maguire and Mustafi are best at dealing with this kind of offense."

Paye rode with great force and reached the 40-meter area.

Carroll had already slowly ran to the Arsenal central defender.

Ayew kept running back and forth laterally.

"One high and one fast!"

"Arsenal still chose to move the defensive focus back."

Xhaka couldn't sit still.

Although the coverage area of this product is small, its small-scale frontal interception capability is not weak.

Just the right step for Payet.

He decisively rushed forward and shoveled.

There was no fierce physical fight as expected.

Payet's feel for the ball was really a little bit closer to Zidane's. He suddenly stopped the football and watched Arsenal's midfielder passing in front of him like a bystander.

West Ham's attack didn't let up.

He distributed the ball to Cresswell on the wing.

That's right.

Cresswell is a defensive midfielder, but often pulls wide during the Hammers' attack and switches to a wide midfielder.

This is a very interesting team.

Most of the "hukou" players come from the youth training of wealthy families and always miss the roster of the Three Lions national team.

But when kneaded together, they can exert the power of "robbing the rich and giving to the poor".

"Creswell's tendency to move"

"It's time to pass the long ball into the penalty area!"

"Carol!"

Boom!

The football left the Hammers defensive midfielder's right foot.

Whirling into Arsenal's penalty area.

The picture is very similar to the goal that West Ham United scored against the Emirates Stadium last season.

Simple.

practical.

The tall and powerful Carroll stopped walking and plunged into the Arsenal penalty area.

He possesses the "most simple" aerial bombing ability in the Premier League during this historical period.

Looks honest.

Private life is a mess.

Beating women.

Beat up teammate N'Zogbia.

Beat up passers-by.

Beat up teammate Steven Taylor.

Beating up girlfriend.

The fans were so angry that they almost burned his car.

Of course, he was talented at that time and the Newcastle club embraced everything.

Definitely not because Liverpool made an offer of 35 million pounds that year.

Emirates Stadium.

The shooter's blood in Carol began to burn and boil.

He completed his run-up, jumped up instinctively, and smashed his big head against the falling football!

Boom!

There was no expected headbutt.

Because there is a bigger forehead than him, and the ball is pushed out.

Maguire!

It seemed to be a wall, easily defusing West Ham United's aerial offensive.

"Wow!"

"Someone was able to stop Carol in a head-on aerial confrontation!"

Courtside.

Bilic loosened his tie and gradually entered the state.

Don't panic.

West Ham can come back even if they are three goals behind Arsenal.

You have plenty of time to make adjustments.

"Football is not far behind!"

"Paye!"

The football landed on the turf and bounced in place.

Paye gently stretched out his short leg and "dipped" the ball.

The superb stop immediately attracted cheers from the fans in the away stands.

"He is worthy of being Zidane's successor."

"The technique of stopping the ball is great."

Payet didn't rush the ball.

Instead, he raised his elbow suddenly.

Cazorla, who arrived one step late, immediately covered his face in pain and fell to the ground.

"Why?"

"The referee did not indicate this elbow raising action."

"The game continues!"

"Look what Payet is going to do with this ball! Is it a direct kick or..."

A black-haired figure passed by.

Halfway through Payet's Marseille spin, the ball disappeared.

My body felt an extremely arrogant force coming towards me.

Bang.

Zidane's successor had his feet dangling in the air like a kite with its string broken, and was knocked away, his expression distorted.

"drift"

"Li Kang, a clean and fierce steal!"

"The referee also made no comment!"

"Look at this transition attack from Arsenal."

"Hey? Why did you stop? Did Li Kang want to kick the ball out of bounds? Do you want Cazorla who fell to the ground to receive treatment?"

The boos from the Hammers fans were not loud.

It’s not because there are so few people.

It's because after Payet became famous in the European Cup group stage, he thought about the transfer every day and stopped playing and training when nothing happened.

Broke the hearts of Hammers fans.

Cazorla struggled to get up, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and signaled Li Kang not to interrupt the game.

Li Kang looked at his old midfield partner who was still slightly injured. His subconscious felt a trace of regret for no reason.

Bah bah bah.

How can you keep thinking about your teammates being injured?

Be united.

From God's perspective, the formations of both sides have undergone drastic changes.

He could subconsciously find the most reasonable route to pass the ball.

Snap.

The football spun violently, drawing a rainbow-like arc in the air, and accurately found Bellerin who was inserted on the wing.

Bellerin used to think about returning to Barcelona all day long.

But now his mind is clear: only by following Lee can he win the championship.

If he returns to Barcelona, he may not even play in the Europa League.

As the Arsenal players run.

The football is like a naughty elf, constantly jumping on the green field!

Not just short passes on the ground!

There are also elegant arcs in the air!

There is no stagnation!

One touch of the ball!

Wall-to-wall cooperation!

The dense transmission lines form a sharp blade!

Easily pierced through West Ham United's defense!

Exquisite.

The offensive methods of Arsenal and West Ham United are simply two extremes.

"A quick pass and attack like mercury pouring out of the ground!"

"Too smooth! Too gorgeous!"

"There are no extra passing routes! All Arsenal players are implementing Wenger's football philosophy."

"West Ham United's defense can't hold on!"

Paye struggled to get up and rubbed his chest painfully.

He rushed towards his own backcourt recklessly.

This guy's ball quality is very poor, but his competitive attitude is very positive.

Bellerin received the pass again near the bottom line on the right side of West Ham United's penalty area.

He couldn't remember how many times he changed positions.

Collins and Antonio double-teamed him.

After all, he is an excellent product of La Masia, and he has mastered the timing of passing the ball.

A swing of the calf.

The football flew off the ground.

It was like a scimitar, strangling West Ham United's low defense.

The end of the trajectory.

Morata's head appeared!

"Reid missed a man!"

"Morata!"

"Header!"

Critical moment.

Goalkeeper-Adrian kicked the grass hard!

West Ham United coaching staff has deconstructed the characteristics of Morata's header.

As long as

Bang!

The football did not go straight to the goal!

Instead, it was ferried to the twelve-yard area.

The figure of Arsenal's No. 10 became the focus of the camera as the football fell.

A natural pass and run coordination.

The audience in the nearby stands opened their mouths wide.

No one would doubt: as long as Li Kang lightly raised his foot, he could score an empty goal.

It's not that easy.

And Payet!

This guy ran straight all the way and landed in the penalty area early.

The seeds of revenge sprouted at this moment.

The sharp and flashing studs kicked Li Kang's calf fiercely.

Everyone's heart suddenly tightened.

This is a useless move.

Bilic frowned, expressing confusion.

Wenger felt like he was falling into an ice cave.

He cared more about the health of 200 million Li Kang than winning or losing.

The bloody moment that was about to be born did not come as expected.

The Eye of Truth burst out.

The God's perspective controlled all the movements on the field.

The shadow in the brain spread wildly.

There was no space to shoot.

Li Kang turned sideways and pulled the ball, and his supporting feet changed in an instant. The simple and plain action made Payet's studs kick the air.

Snap.

The football rolled out lightly from behind him.

Cazorla, with a bruised face, appeared at the top of the arc without being guarded.

There was enough time to aim at the goal.

Both feet were balanced.

A light flick.

The football made a slightly curved arc and lifted the West Ham United net.

Adrian was powerless to save the situation.

1:0!!!

The Emirates Stadium was still in shock for a while.

"Beautiful!"

"A tacit pass and cut cooperation!"
