  Chapter 862 Sakar's Redemption

  After Christmas, except for the Premier League, other leagues have entered the winter break.

  Because there is no winter break in the Premier League, their league is still in progress.

  After Christmas, they will immediately enter the league games.

  Before Christmas, after 19 league rounds, Arsenal had a 16-2-1 record.

   Currently in the second place in the standings, there is a five-point gap from the first Manchester City.

   But the gap is small enough.

  Liverpool, which is in third place, has a double-digit gap with Arsenal and Manchester City.

   It can be said that currently only Arsenal is biting Manchester City's footsteps.

  In the first game after Christmas, Arsenal will challenge Crystal Palace away.

  Crystal Palace has achieved two wins and three draws in the last five rounds, which can be regarded as stabilizing their position in the standings.

  But facing Arsenal in the 20th round, they had a bit of trouble.

  After all, in this season's league, both Arsenal and Manchester City have demonstrated super game dominance.

  It can be said that facing these two teams, as long as they win a draw, it is already a very good result.

  In this game, Arsenal carried out a certain rotation.

   Koscielny and Mustafi's central defender partner got the chance to start after a long absence.

   On the left side, Saka also got the chance to start the league.

  Saka's excellent performance in training made Mourinho let the opponent get the starting opportunity in advance.

   I have to say that Mourinho attaches great importance to Saka's breakthrough role on the wing.

  Since coaching Arsenal, Mourinho has also changed a lot.

  He is no longer obsessed with the simple and direct dismissal, but pays more attention to the pressure on the side and changes in rhythm.

  This also requires more players with some skills on the wing, and Saka is precisely this type of player.

  And under the training of Mourinho, Arsenal also abandoned a lot of bad delays and rhythmic passes, and focused more on a key pass.

  It can be said that Arsenal and Mourinho influence each other and change each other.

   This is the most reasonable situation.

  This shows that the two sides have become more adaptable to each other in the process of constant running-in.

  Of course, the core of all this is still Lucky.

   Lucky is still the core player of Arsenal, which is also the most basic cooperation model between Arsenal and Mourinho.

"The teenager Saka is 17 years and 343 days old. He will officially celebrate his 18th birthday in January, but he got the chance to start Arsenal in advance. We can look forward to the performance of this teenager in this game. "

   Saka looked very excited. After all, it was his first start, which means a lot to him.

  Follow the team into the field, shake hands, and come to your own half.

   Saka took a deep breath, constantly adjusting the tension in his heart.

   "Saka!"

  Suddenly, someone called himself, and Saka turned his head to look.

  He saw Le Kai giving a thumbs up to him.

   Saka froze for a moment, then realized that it was the captain encouraging him.

   Saka patted his chest.

  'Look at mine! '

   Le Kai was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

   What a confident little guy!

   However, this kind of self-confidence is very necessary on the court.

  The game started and Arsenal took the lead.

   When facing Arsenal, Crystal Palace put on a more conservative defensive formation.

   This also hindered Arsenal's penetration breakthrough to a certain extent.

   For this reason, Lucky began to frequently distribute the ball towards the side, especially the side of Saka.

   "Pass the ball to Saka!"

   Sometimes, Lucky is also reminding his teammates.

  After receiving the ball, Saka's performance on the wing became active.

  Saka relies on his flexible body and powerful explosive power to stimulate the opponent's full-backs by constantly changing directions and making sudden bursts.

   I have to say that facing the purely physical pressure of young players, this is a fatal problem for many players who turn slowly.

   Just like now, Saka is already the third time to eat Crystal Palace's full-back alone.

   "It was passed again. Martin Kelly is like a bulky pickup in front of Saka. Saka only needs three seconds to pass the opponent."

  The commentator Paul Mawson laughed.

  They like this kind of one-on-one hard eating session the most, which will gradually push the atmosphere to a climax.

   After being passed three times in a row, Martin Kelly's entire face turned red.

  He was blown away by a rookie.

  This made him feel uncomfortable.

   "Calm down, that guy is going to give you a hard time, remember to pass the ball more!"

  Wilshere took the initiative to find Saka and shouted.

   Saka nodded.

  Five minutes later, the ball came to Saka again.

   Saka catches the ball sideways, intending to sprint towards the baseline.

  At this time, Martin Kelly also rushed over. This guy's eyes were fierce, staring at Saka's legs!

   Saka dialed the ball forward, and Martin Kelly suddenly pressed his whole body forward.

   This is an extremely dangerous action.

  But at this moment, Saka suddenly pulled his left foot.

  Martin Kelly lost his target in front of him, and he subconsciously stretched back.

   And Saka shoved the ball towards the opponent's crotch, and he spared it.

  Crotch piercing!

  Martin Kelly's entire face turned red almost immediately, and his expression became ferocious.

  His hands grabbed forward like pliers, hugged Saka's leg, and pulled it back.

  Ah~~~~~~~!

   Saka screamed and fell to the ground.

  The sharp whistle sounded.

  The referee ran over quickly.

   At the same time, Wilshere rushed over and straddled Martin Kelly directly.

   But before he could do anything, he was pulled away by a pair of big hands.

"calm down!"

   Lucky hugged Wilshere tightly, and pulled towards the back.

  After Ramsey stepped forward, he handed Wilshere to Ramsey, and then ran to Saka.

"How about it?"

   Le Kai asked with a frown.

  The action just now was too dangerous, it is very likely

   Saka lay on the ground, looking sideways at Le Kai.

  The guy covered his face slightly, and stuck out his tongue towards Le Kai.

   Lucy was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but feel happy.

   This guy is cheating!

   Saka has already pretended to be so similar, and Lucky can't let him down.

   "Sir, this is a vicious foul. I believe you will make a fair penalty. I need to explain to my teammates. We cannot allow this kind of butcher to stay on the field."

   Hearing this, the Crystal Palace players are in a hurry.

   As soon as they were about to speak, the referee took out a red card from his pocket and pointed it at Martin Kelly on the ground.

   Directly sent off with a red card, which is much more serious than two yellows turning into one red.

  Crystal Palace was sent off a full-back at 25 minutes in the first half, which was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for them.

  The goal has been achieved, but the modified one still needs to be installed.

  The team doctors stepped forward and carried Saka to the sidelines for symbolic treatment.

   Saka got up limping, with pain on his face from time to time.

   Lucky saw all this, turned to Wilshere and said, "You taught?"

  Wilshere quickly shook his head: "I never taught it, I swear!"

  Paused, Wilshere smiled; "But the effect is good, we can at least play an easy game!"

   Really good.

   Lucy couldn't help but laugh too.

   Saka returned to the court, and Crystal Palace played one less player.

  In this case, almost all of Crystal Palace shrank their defense, not to mention counterattacking, and dared not come out of the penalty area.

  Arsenal bombarded each other wildly.

  After a full 50 minutes had passed, in the second half, Arsenal was prying open the tortoise shell of the Crystal Palace.

   Lucky picked a pass and assisted Giroud to score with a header.

  Arsenal also won the game with this goal.

  In this game, although Saka failed to score a goal, his performance was still affirmed.

  After all, in the first half, Saka's frequent breakthroughs caused Martin Kelly's mentality to collapse, and eventually he was sent off with a red card.

  In order to reward Saka, Mourinho also let him play the whole game.

   After the 90-minute game.

  Arsenal 1:0 away to Crystal Palace.

  In the post-match press conference, Mourinho fired directly at Martin Kelly for a malicious foul.

  His tone was full of anger, angrily denouncing this kind of butcher behavior.

  Calling this is killing the hope of football, such players should not appear on the field.

   As for Mourinho's anger, the media is also understandable. After all, Saka's talent is already very good, and Mourinho certainly does not want any problems with such talented players.
