Chapter 39: Tenacious Manchester City
Arsenal's goal made Manchester City feel a little frustrated. During the whole process of scoring, Arsenal did not use any sneak attacks or other special tactics, but really relied on rhythm and quick forward insertion to score this goal. Google search reading
This also means that Arsenal's offense is effective and has great threats.
Especially when Lucky frequently inserted himself forward, Arsenal's somewhat standardized offensive style became extremely creative.
A variety of shooting methods and offensive methods also made them difficult to resist.
But there are also problems!
"When Lucky inserts himself forward, there will be loopholes in the defense! Although this loophole and opportunity are fleeting, as long as we seize this opportunity, we will have a chance to score."
David Silva said to Lampard: "So, we must first consolidate our defense to prevent Arsenal from expanding the score, and at the same time look for opportunities"
David Silva made a gesture of wiping his neck and said; "One shot to kill!"
Lampard also nodded, and the two had similar ideas.
Arsenal's defense is generally good, but this depends largely on the existence of Lucky.
Once Lucky attacked, and the back line and the back midfielder could not form a linkage, then Manchester City would have a chance to score.
Although Lucky's attack created a rich offensive line for Arsenal.
But it also consumed Arsenal's defensive ability.
After the celebration, Aguero put the ball in the middle circle and prepared to kick off.
He could feel the dissatisfaction of the fans on the scene. After all, this game largely determines the fans' judgment of Manchester City's strength this season.
So far, their performance is very poor!
Of course, it may also be that Arsenal's performance is too good.
But for them, they must equalize the score and give fans enough confidence. This is the key.
Of course, Arsenal will not let them succeed easily, but all top leagues are not easy.
When they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!
Fight!
Swish! !
As soon as David Silva got the ball, he was double-teamed by Lucky and Cazorla.
Although David Silva thought that Arsenal would not let down their guard, he did not expect that these guys would not relax for a moment.
Still pressing hard in the frontcourt.
"Pass back!!"
Lampard shouted.
David Silva also intended to do so, but suddenly a huge force came from behind, and David Silva's body was out of control and fell forward.
At the same time, Lucky immediately retreated and raised his hands to show that he did not commit a foul.
The referee ran over and awarded a set-piece.
But no card was given.
Lucky immediately retreated after the penalty.
David Silva sat on the ground, looking at Lucky's back as he left, feeling a little angry and helpless.
Lucky must not be allowed to stay in the backcourt all the time, which will only hinder their offense.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Lucky's defensive ability seemed to have become stronger compared to last season.
This kind of pressure and interference affects them all the time.
So, this guy must be brought to the front.
Manchester City's set-piece, this position is not enough to threaten the goal, and Arsenal's defense is also mainly based on man-to-man.
For example, Aguero, a big threat, is directly under the personal responsibility of Lekai.
Under Lekai's pressure, Aguero seems very irritable.
Every time he plays with Arsenal, Lekai makes him feel uncomfortable.
This discomfort comes not only from physical confrontation, but also from technical ability.
Although Lekai's footwork is not too strong, this guy is top-notch in terms of judging the landing point of the ball and defensive stability.
This also puts Aguero under great pressure.
Sure enough, after Manchester City kicked off, the ball was passed to Aguero, asking him to transfer to the left and right sides,
but Aguero was under too much pressure, and he and Lekai almost arrived at the landing point one after another.
When Aguero was about to stop the ball, he was suddenly hit.
He staggered and the ball was not stable.
Lekai accurately found the opportunity, bypassed from the side, controlled the ball, and blocked Aguero firmly behind him.
"Damn it! Get out of the way!"
Aguero was so angry that his teeth hurt, and he wanted to counter-rob.
But under the pressure of Lucky's tonnage, his body did not have any advantages at all.
He could only watch Lucky pass the ball to Cazorla easily and run to the front court leisurely.
Arsenal's attack started again!
"Manchester City's attack can't be launched!" Andy Gray shook his head and said: "Since the beginning of the game, Manchester City has played very passively, especially their attack was tightly defended in Arsenal's midfield and backcourt, which did not give them any chance to enter the penalty area, let alone shoot!"
"Since the beginning of the game, Manchester City has a total of 3 shots, which is extremely bleak in Manchester City's eyes!"
"On the other hand, Arsenal's attack is getting more and more sharp!"
In the game, Arsenal is still relying on fast passing and cutting to attack forward.
Arsenal's attack is mostly carried out in the form of three legs, which is divided into three areas: left, middle and right.
This area is centered on Lucky, and the ball is passed frequently.
Lucky has become a key figure connecting each small triangle and the whole.
Manchester City was also aware of this problem. They tried to steal the ball from Lukaku's feet, but to be honest, it was not easy.
Lekai calmly handled every pass while paying attention to the running positions of his teammates.
The attack was still effective!
But Lekai was not particularly clear about where to start the real attack.
He could only pass the ball continuously to wear down the opponent's willpower and physical strength and wait for mistakes to occur.
Lekai handed the ball to Cazorla.
The latter suddenly turned around and wanted to get into the penalty area.
Lekai frowned when he saw this scene.
Too anxious!
Cazorla was a little anxious, and his sudden attack made his teammates unable to react.
Manchester City immediately formed a siege, and Kompany grabbed the ball cleanly.
At the same time, he passed it forward with a big foot.
Lekai immediately turned around and rushed towards Lampard.
Estimating the distance, as long as Lampard stopped the ball, Lekai could catch up.
But on the way, Lekai was suddenly stunned.
Lampard faced the falling ball, did not make any stop action, but directly passed it diagonally forward.
The pass went straight through Flamini and Gibbs, who was moving forward and retreating, while Manchester City player Navas was chasing the ball with all his might.
"Stop him!!"
Lucky suddenly yelled.
But at this time, Navas had already got the ball and rushed directly into the penalty area.
Koscielny rushed towards Navas, trying to interfere with him.
But Navas didn't miss the ball at all and passed it directly to the middle.
Aguero and Mustafi rushed towards the ball against each other.
When approaching the ball, Aguero suddenly stretched out his foot and took the lead in controlling the ball.
At the same time, the core strength burst out, twisted violently, and almost threw Mustafi out.
At this time, Aguero, Mustafi and Arsenal goalkeeper Navas overlapped, and the latter had no idea what was going on and where the ball was.
Until the ball suddenly flew over Mustafi's shoulder and flew towards the right side of the club.
Navas looked shocked, and he stepped sideways and made a desperate save.
He could feel his fingertips touching the ball, and he flicked it hard.
The ball hit the goal post and bounced into the net.
In the 40th minute, Manchester City equalized.
Aguero created this goal with his strong personal ability.
"Aguero!! You can always trust Aguero! Look at this wonderful goal, he saved us again! This is simply amazing!!"
The Manchester City live commentator yelled in surprise.
Manchester City fans jumped up and cheered.
The Manchester City Stadium, which was originally a little quiet, also boiled in an instant.
And all this was because of this goal.
Manchester City equalized!
"Tsk!"
Lucky stopped, put his hands on his waist, and shook his head helplessly.
This is the problem!
Once Lucky over-advances and cannot retreat, the opponent only needs one attack to break through Arsenal's defense.
Of course, Lucky is not blaming his teammates on the back line.
But Koscielny and others do lack the ability to fight alone.
Just like now, as long as Lekai is not in front to help them slow down the rhythm or limit them, once they face the opponent's quick counterattack.
When facing the opponent's forward, it is easy to get confused.
