Chapter 385 The Monkey Becomes the King(1/2)

0:1.

Arsenal trailed.

Manchester City took the advantage.

When the game restarted, Manchester City launched a full-court press, fearing that they would not give Arsenal players too much space to pass the ball.

You can clearly feel their oppression. When Arsenal players get the ball, the reaction time for passing the ball cannot exceed one second, otherwise they will be immediately pressed by the opponent.

In fact, Arsenal is originally a possession-based team, but the problem is that Manchester City's level is higher than theirs. If it were another team, Arsenal might be able to play very calmly, but it still wouldn't work against Manchester City.

Holding in the backcourt kicked the ball out with his big foot.

The ball was handed back to Manchester City so easily, and Emery stood on the sidelines and stamped his feet anxiously.

Before the game, he kept telling the players to stay steady and not to be too impatient and give away the ball easily.

Now it seems like it has fallen on deaf ears.

As long as Luo Wu is not on the court, there is no one who can hold him down.

Now Manchester City's attack came from the right again, and Walker once again stepped forward and completed a two-on-one with his teammates.

Then he saw Aguero coming forward, so he picked up the ball and tried to hit it behind Arsenal's defense.

Fortunately, Papastathopoulos was very focused this time. When Aguero started, he followed closely and did not let Aguero get the ball easily.

Aguero reluctantly knocked the ball back to Sterling behind him. Sterling wanted to force his way past Koscielny, but he did not adjust his body movements. Although the ball passed, his position was not good enough.

I was beaten to death by Koscielnyka.

The ball rolled out of the baseline. Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez slowly picked up the ball. He originally wanted to stabilize the rhythm, but when he looked around, he found that his teammates were already surrounded by people. He could only

Choose the big foot to shoot the ball.

There is only one point that can come out, and that is the tall and strong Haaland.

The opponent's defender is definitely at a disadvantage when fighting against Haaland. He is so strong that he can even go one on two, but it is limited to a high-altitude fight for the top.

Jumping high, he indeed suppressed two Manchester City central defenders and hit the ball, but he could not control the direction of the ball. Although his header was perfect, the ball still fell into Jinqin's direction.

Branch's feet.

Zinchenko dribbled the ball from the left and quickly crossed the center line. Saka came to intercept him. But Zinchenko quickly passed the ball to Fernandinho in the center, and Fernandinho passed it straight in front.

De Bruyne!

The cooperation is too fast and cannot be stopped.

Guendouzi was originally following De Bruyne. Unexpectedly, De Bruyne suddenly strode forward and cut the ball horizontally for more than three meters. With such a simple large swing, he easily got rid of him.

.

When De Bruyne fell gracefully in the air, he followed the outside instep of his left foot and sliced ​​the ball forward.

Torreira, who rushed to him for the first time, was half a beat too late. The ball fell behind Lichtsteiner. At the same time, Sane next to him quickly got behind him and caught up with him.

Ball.

A threatening attack was launched like this. Sane lowered his head and dribbled the ball into the left side of Arsenal's penalty area. Aguero in the middle took an alert step to the right and instantly shook off Papastatthorpe.

Los.

But it turned out that Sane forced the shot.

This ball is too high.

Hit the plane.

Guardiola almost cursed on the sidelines. He had previously told him to pass the ball, work as a team, and not play personal heroism. Why did it suddenly change when he arrived at the game?

You all are not Messi or Ronaldo, so where do you get this kind of confidence?

Oh, and that bastard on the bench!

The big camera gave Aguero another close-up. His face was swollen, and he was probably extremely stimulated. If he hadn't scored a goal just now, he might have yelled and got angry.

If Sane passes the ball, maybe he can score another goal.

It's a pity that there is no if.

Emery had a sad face, wondering whether Lichtsteiner could withstand Sane's sudden attack. Although the opponent wasted two opportunities, Lichtsteiner's performance in the game was a kind of

The decline of old age.

Luck can't always be so good.

But at the right back position, there is currently no one available.

Bellerin is injured, and Lichtsteiner is already a substitute. We can't ask for more from a veteran in his thirties.

This time, Martinez did not dare to serve randomly, and quickly threw the ball to Papastathopoulos outside the penalty area, at least to get rid of the ball first.

Papastathopoulos passed the ball across to Holding, who was then pressed by Aguero.

Holding was about to hand the ball to the left, but found that Koscielny had been marked by Sterling. He hesitated and glanced to the right. As a result, Lichtsteiner was also targeted by Sane.

It's locked.

After another hesitation, Aguero pounced again. He had no choice but to quickly sweep the ball back to goalkeeper Martinez.

If Martinez hadn't been so focused, he wouldn't have thought that Holding would pass the ball back to him, almost causing an own goal.

He stopped the ball with his left foot in some embarrassment and passed it in the direction of Elneny.

The power was not mastered well. This half-high ball was very uncomfortable for Elneny to catch. The ball stopped in mid-air. When he tried to make a second move, Fernandinho had already grabbed it from behind.

He stretched out his leg and poked his foot, and the ball was knocked away.

De Bruyne stepped forward very quickly and cooperated flawlessly.

He carried the ball forward for more than two meters, and then he picked up the speed and rushed forward with the ball in long strides!

Guendouzi obviously did not expect that the ball would be intercepted by his opponent. When he was still more than two meters away from De Bruyne, he still chose to release the tackle. After all, De Bruyne could not be allowed to rush forward.

De Bruyne has an unsolvable free kick.

He dribbled the ball from the side and knocked someone over.

But the referee's whistle did not sound because Guendouzi's tackle touched the ball first and then the person.

Lichtsteiner on the right got the ball, but there was no teammate to respond, so he could only pass the ball forward.

He saw Harland striding back, and he passed a ground ball.

The tall Haaland braked suddenly, spread his legs and stuck on the turf like iron gates. Otamendi who was following him seemed to have hit a wall, and the ball was still blocked.

Harland easily protected his feet.

No one came to answer!

Haaland immediately turned to the right and directed the ball towards the center. Otamendi really had no way to do anything, but Haaland was still fighting alone, challenging the entire Manchester City defense line alone.

This is not his style.

The young Laporte rushed up and stole the ball from his left foot without anyone noticing.

After all, Haaland is not Luo Wu and does not have such ability to control the ball.

Laporte passed the ball straight to Danilo in front, and Danilo passed the ball behind Lichtsteiner. Sane still used his speed to beat Lichtsteiner, which was really blatant.

To bully Lichtsteiner.

"Oh, here we go again, Sane!"

"Speed ​​like the wind, Lichtsteiner was killed again."

Sane once again broke into the left side of the penalty area. This time he finally knocked the ball across to Aguero, but Aguero was grabbed in front of him by Papastathopoulos and the ball was intercepted.

Already.

Sane finally made a selfless move, but the ball did not reach Aguero's feet.

Aguero became anxious and followed up and pulled Papastathopoulos.

Papastathopoulos collapsed at the sound and simply rolled on the lawn.

However, the referee will not pay attention to this kind of performative fall. It is just an ordinary foul.

Aguero was only given a verbal warning.

However, Manchester City players have rearranged their defense, and Arsenal once again had no choice but to switch to a positional battle.

The ball was passed forward to Torreira's feet.

Torreira was too soft. Under Fernandinho's close pressure, he failed to control the ball. He tried to transfer the ball to Elneny, but the pass was wrong.

Danilo got the ball again, this time on the right.

Sterling kept passing the ball and passed it to De Bruyne, while he sprinted forward with all his strength.

Of course De Bruyne knew what he was thinking. He also touched the ball with his right foot without stopping the ball. The ball went over Koscielny's head and Sterling successfully chased the ball.

Whether it's the left or the right, Arsenal's defense is really bad, and their speed is at an absolute disadvantage.
