Chapter 356 Blitz! Fast attack! Sneak attack!(1/3)
Elegant dancer.
But it's no longer the Ice Prince Borgkamp, but Luo Wu.
His goal completely silenced the Etihad Stadium. The 1:3 score is not something Manchester City fans often see. In recent years, there have been one or two unexpected scores occasionally.
For example, when playing against Tottenham or Liverpool, the score is not controlled. These two teams are more restrained by Manchester City, and this year there is one more Arsenal.
In the first half of the season, Arsenal slaughtered them and thought about taking revenge in the second round, but now the score is still 1:3. It can be said that it is old hatred and new hatred.
The old hatred has not been repaid, and now the new hatred has come again. Manchester City fans are now unsure. The first round can be said to be an accident, but if this is still the case in the second round, then they will feel fear in their hearts.
Guardiola lifted his left hand and scratched the back of his head again, then walked around in front of the coaching seat. He probably couldn't figure out why the score had become like this again.
This ball is Luo Wu's personal performance, and the disciples' performance is not bad enough. It's impossible to say that Fernandinho is really bad enough to be described. He just followed well, but Luo Wu's personal ability is really too strong.
He shook his head helplessly and fell in love with the bench again.
Should Mahrez be sent to the field at this time? But it's a little too early.
He hesitated.
Generally, he will not have any extra thoughts in such domestic games. The process may be a bit troublesome, but the final victory must belong to Manchester City.
Taking a step back, Manchester City is full of dominance in the Premier League. Even if they lose one or two games, it is no big deal. But now Manchester City has no advantage in the standings. If they lose this game, Arsenal will lead by two points again at the top of the list.
I still can't worry now...
For some reason, that guy Mourinho actually popped up in his mind.
Only that guy always creates all kinds of extreme difficulties for him, but now his opponent is clearly Emery, how could this happen?
No.
It's not the coach's problem, it's Luo Wu.
If I have Messi now, I don’t have to think so much about it.
He also thought of Messi.
This peak showdown requires both sides to have a superstar. Emery has it, but he does not.
How nice would it be if Messi could be bought last summer?
Amid Guardiola's random thoughts, the game resumed again.
De Bruyne played very hard. He ran in a wide range of midfield to connect Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt, and Arsenal could only defend passively.
But then De Bruyne divided the ball out, and he was disappointed again. He hit the ball in the left front with one move. Unfortunately, Sterling actually stopped the ball after following him. When Sterling wanted to adjust the shot, the ball had been destroyed by Papastasopoulos and left the baseline.
De Bruyne could only shake his head helplessly. This scene was no longer surprising, but when he was behind, he was still a little annoyed to see Sterling spending such an opportunity.
Manchester City lacks a world-class front winger.
A striker who can seize opportunities.
There is a young man as excellent as Haaland in Arsenal.
Not to mention Luo Wu, a pervert...
At this time, Arsenal's counterattack was not very fast. Korashinac passed the ball to Gundozi. Gundozi still wanted to find Luo Wu, but Luo Wu did not run and almost stayed near the center line with Fernandinho for a walk, while Arsenal launched an attack on the left, and J Ronaldo took the ball to face Walker.
Without Luo Wu's participation in the offense, the attack was actually not very threatening. Although Haaland in front ran over to meet him very hard, this time Haaland was hit by two central defenders of Manchester City as soon as he stopped the ball. Haaland did not turn around, and then lost control of the ball. After Kompany broke the ball, he immediately stuffed the ball to Gundogan.
But Gundogan was unable to turn around when he protected the ball. Erneni stuck him tightly, and Gundogan chose to pass back.
Mendy took the ball, but immediately attracted Saka's press. Mendy knocked the ball back to Kompani, who rushed up with the ball.
Then Fernandinho ran up the middle. After all, he was now from defense to offense. He gave up his defense and chose to support Kompani.
After he got the ball, he immediately played a wall-to-slam match with De Bruyne and then came to Arsenal's penalty area.
However, Gundozi arrived at the first time, and Fernandinho had to hand over the ball back to De Bruyne. De Bruyne shot directly with his left foot this time.
With a curve, he suddenly ran straight to the lower left corner of the goal outside the penalty area. De Bruyne's shot was of high quality and deserved to be a super midfielder. But the problem was that the ball was lifted up by Papastasopoulos in the middle and touched his right foot, and the ball broke out of the baseline.
Such a good opportunity was destroyed like this, but Manchester City got a chance to attack the corner kick.
De Bruyne continued to run to take the corner kick, the ball passed to the front point and flew to the upper left corner of the goal with a strong rotation.
It looked like a pass or a shot, Arsenal goalkeeper Leno was in a good position, and he flew into a leap and held the ball out of the baseline with one hand. Manchester City continued to get a corner kick.
This time De Bruyne put the ball to the back point and looked for Otamendi.
Otamendi rubbed the ball under the protection of his teammate Gundogan, but the ball ran to the other side of the baseline and posed no threat to the goal.
The ball returned to Arsenal, and Manchester City immediately built a defense line in the frontcourt. Leno could only drive the ball out with his big foot, and then he expected Haaland, the young player in front, to fight.
But it was not that easy. Kompani and Otamendi were not vegetarians, so they once again worked together to grab the ball.
It seems that they are very experienced in Haaland's defense now. After Kompany got the ball, he distributed the ball to Gundogan again. This time, Gundogan was assigned to Jesus on the right. Jesus lowered his head and stepped on two bicycles in succession, and then pulled the ball to the side. Just as Koscheerny was about to stretch his legs, he alertly picked up the ball. After jumping for a while, he immediately crossed over Koscheerny.
After taking another step, he immediately passed the ball to the middle, but Argentinian Aguero obviously could not understand why he did this. He didn't even run, and the ball was directly passed to Arsenal goalkeeper Leno's arms.
Leno finally could throw the ball into the middle and hand it over to Luo Wu.
Luo Wu also did not stop the ball this time. When the ball fell in mid-air, he turned around first and didn't even look at the ball.
Facing Fernandinho, he hooked his right foot up as if he had eyes, and the ball flew obediently, and then immediately crossed the top of Fernandinho's head.
Fernandinho just stared at Luo Wu. Luo Wu turned around and turned left immediately. As long as Luo Wu stayed, he would not care where the ball flew.
He succeeded and blocked Luo Wu, but the ball flew behind him, but Luo Wu could not run over.
Although the referee's whistle sounded, Fernandinho's foul was very small, and there was not even a verbal warning.
Fernandinho finally won a confrontation with Luo Wu.
When he was young, he was also a very awesome midfielder and had strong ability to read games. Now there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with his performance. He thought that he had finally touched Luo Wu's knock on the door.
Luo Wu didn't care and immediately served the ball to J Luo on the left.
After catching two bicycles in a row, J Luo just protected the ball and waited for Elneni to come up. After all, it was not Luo Wu, so he would do whatever he wanted.
Not to mention Elneni, these guys are not good at breaking through, they can only rely on constant running and cooperation with teammates to tear open the opponent's space.
This time, Luo Wu still didn't run much. Maybe he was saving his strength. Instead, Gundozi stepped in and received the ball. Gundozi distributed the ball to Saka on the right. Saka was very brave and once again used his speed to fight Mendy.
He fell straight to the bottom line again, and Mendy could only look at his taillights!
The inverted triangle was passed back to the middle lane again, but this time Luo Wu did not follow up, and this was actually passed directly to De Bruyne's feet.
Tragedy.
De Bruyne was not a selfish player, so he immediately sent the ball out with his big feet, and overshot the ball, which gave the ultimate counterattack speed!
Although Sterling disappointed him again and again, all he could do was to use Sterling's speed to tear open Arsenal's defense.
The ball was passed so wonderfully. The ball pulled out a beautiful parabola and landed behind Arsenal's defense. Sterling lived up to expectations. At least in terms of speed, he never disappointed his teammates. He threw away veteran Lichsteiner and rushed to the ball. This time he did not make a mistake in stopping the ball. The ball stopped very steadily. He had two choices, either rushed into Arsenal's penalty area to shoot, or waited for his teammates to come up and handle the ball.
Sterling finally chose to knock the ball across the middle and hand it over to Aguero.
Although Aguero followed Papastasopoulos, his body was flexible and fast. He grabbed the ball in front of Papastasopoulos, but Corasinaci, who was on the right, also made up for the place, and did not let him get the ball and break into the penalty area.
Aguero naturally would not be reckless. He immediately dunked the ball back with his right foot, turned his body halfway, pretending to move to the left, but he knocked back the heel of his right foot, pulled the ball with his left foot, and pulled the ball to the front right. He personally also turned Tengna very quickly!
In a flash, I reached the top of the penalty area.
Neither Korashinac nor Papastasopoulos could do anything.
Although this time it was not a one-on-one shot, he won a good opportunity to shoot.
The opportunity was not missed. He immediately raised his foot and shot the ball against the ground with his right foot. The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, and the angle was very perfect. Even if goalkeeper Leno was rushing to the side, he might not be able to snatch it.
The right arch exerted a lot of force and the ball was very fast.
But it was too pursuing angle, which hit the post on the right side of the goal.
Duang!
The ball bounced out.
"Oh God!"
"What a pity!"
"Hit the post! Aguero!"
But at this moment, Jesus on the right forced his way over. He rushed past Coscheerney and appeared in front of the ball. His right foot directly swept out of the far corner.
But I don’t know if Jesus was too excited or if he hadn’t had a chance to hit the goal for a long time, but he actually slipped out of the goal with his shot. He is the main center of Brazil, but he didn’t shoot with his right foot?
It's so amateur!
Manchester City fans in the stands were ready to shout, and stood up and opened their mouths wide, but in the end they sighed with regret. This damn Jesus is simply a fake Brazilian striker.
Why didn't this ball go in?
Even Ferdinand laughed at him.
"Haha! This ball didn't even get into it. Manchester City strikers are all here to make fun of it. They really play happy football."
"This ball is almost in an empty goal state. Calm down a little, and then you can have a good shot. Jesus is in a bad state. Maybe Guardiola put him in the right winger and made him uncomfortable. If he was in the center position, maybe the ball would have entered, but Aguero was standing in the center position, and he could not deprive Aguero of his position."
"But when he was shooting just now, Aguero stood near the penalty spot and reached out to him for the ball. Jesus probably didn't see it, but even if he saw it, as a forward, he would choose to shoot directly. Unfortunately, Jesus himself is not good."
