Chapter 515 Playing Arsenal's 'very experienced' Manchester City

Fundamentally, it's Robert. The new Mancini himself is also very conflicted, both wanting to attack and being afraid of Arsenal's attacking ability, but he also knows that the result of stubborn defense is definitely not optimistic, and attacking is the general trend.

Moreover, the 9-2 win over Arsenal in the league also gave Mancini the ...... to attack Perhaps, Manchester City is really invincible against Arsenal now......

"Alright, let's go on the field. "Robert. Mancini looked at his watch.

"Let's go!" Captain Yang Fan walked over, opened the door of the locker room, and waved his hand.

Everyone rushed out, and the entire corridor was filled with the click of spiked sneakers hitting the ground.

"Welcome to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and the 201o2o11 English League Cup quarter-finals are about to begin, with Arsenal playing Manchester City at home, and there is no doubt that it is a much-anticipated game and a highly anticipated game. ”

"It's a pity that it rained all day in London today, which affected the atmosphere of the game to some extent, but we can still see that the stands at the Emirates Stadium are full, the fans are holding umbrellas, some are wearing raincoats, and even some fans are not carrying any rain gear, let the rain pour down, all because of the opponent of this game, Arsenal's opponent is Manchester City! In the league, Arsenal lost 2-9 to Manchester City, and it is clear that Arsenal are eager to get revenge in today's game!"

"Players from both teams walked into the pitch under the guidance of the referee!"

Despite the heavy rain, there was still a huge cheer from the stands at the Emirates Stadium when the players entered, and Arsenal fans showed their support for their team in this way.

For Arsenal, Arsene Wenger has the strongest squad in the squad at the moment, with Almunia in goal, Sagna, Vermaelen, Gallas and Klich in defence, and Wilshere, Nasri, Diaby and Rosicky in midfield, and Robin van Persie and Walcott up front. ”

'For Manchester City, goalkeeper is Joe Hart, at the back are Zabaleta, Kompany, Kolo Toure, Kolarov and in midfield, David. Silva, Yaya Toure, De Jong and Milner are the partners of Dzeko and Yang Fan up front. ”

After the two sides guessed the coin to decide the ball, the two sides lined up, and then the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game amid the cheers of the fans.

"With the referee's whistle, Arsenal, who are playing at home, kicked off first......" When Van Persie kicked the ball to Rosicky, the on-site commentator also excitedly announced the start of the game.

As soon as Arsenal's ball was passed back, Manchester City's Yang Fan and Dzeko chased after the opponent's backfield for the first time, and Yaya Toure also interfered in the symbolic midfield.

Arsenal skillfully control the ball at their feet, they began to make a fuss on the right flank, in fact, Wenger's tactic in this game is to attack Kolarov, Kolarov's recent form is not good, in the face of Arsenal's strong turns, Kolarov may be difficult to support the post. In addition, Manchester City's centre-back Kolo Toure, who has partnered left-back Kolarov on the left side, has also just returned from injury and is not necessarily in good shape. Compared to Zabaleta and Kompany's right flank, it is clear that City's left side is more vulnerable to tearing down defences.

After Rosicky got the ball, he pressed over as soon as possible, and Kolo Toure was also stuck in front of him for the first time, Rosicky was worried about being caught in the middle of the attack, so he dribbled the ball back, and couldn't find a chance, so he had to knock the ball back to Wilshere.

Wilshere immediately shifted the ball laterally to Nasri, who passed to the right to the retreating Walcott, but De Jong followed him closely, and Walcourt didn't stick the ball straight back, and the ball returned to Arsenal's half.

"City started the game with aggressive pressing in the centre circle. Arsenal had few attacking opportunities and could only opt for a return pass. ”

As the on-site commentators analysed, the ball spun around Arsenal's backfield again, and then Diaby passed the ball forward, and the ball returned to Rosicky's feet.

Seeing Rosicky come up again, Kolo Toure came up and pestered him, and Rosicky had no choice but to knock the ball back to Nasri.

Nasri got the ball and pushed forward.

Seeing Nasri advancing with the ball, De Jong was preparing to force up, Zabaleta had already blocked Nasri's forward position at the first time, and seeing Zabaleta go up, De Jong immediately returned to Sabaleta's position to help him fill in the position.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Mancini's face on the sidelines, which is exactly the defensive tactic he focused on promoting in the Manchester City team, Italy's chain defense. Defence is more layered, and players complement each other more frequently.

'City's defence was well organised, Arsenal didn't get their chances, Nasri was caught between Zabaleta and Frenkie de Jong, turned to protect the ball and passed back to ......"

Nasri passed the ball back to Wilshere, he moved to the left side, Wilshire quickly played the ball, Rosicky got the ball, rushed forward with the ball, first changed direction past Zabaleta, and then attracted Kompany's attention, but suddenly transferred the football laterally, inserted Nasri chest stopped the ball, and suddenly passed a through ball!

"Beautiful!"

Van Persie had his back to Kolo Toure and after adjusting a bit, he opted to dribble diagonally to the left in the hope of getting into the box, but Kolo Toure was always behind him and didn't allow him to turn easily.

Van Persie flicked the ball sideways, lifted his right foot, and pretended to pass the ball back, but suddenly knocked on his heel, and a figure flashed, which was inserted by Walcott.

"Pretty and wonderful! Arsenal almost scored, Walcott showed great form!" the commentator applauded, applauding Arsenal's first attack after the opening kick-off.

Just now, Walcott suddenly stepped forward, received Van Persie's heel pass, directly touched the ball lightly with his toes, and the football rolled past Kolarov who came up to intercept, Walcott himself added, passing past Kolarov, Kolarov wanted to turn around to intercept, it was too late, Walcoat followed the lateral inward cut, and directly volleyed into the far corner.

Joe Hart made a brilliant save to keep the ball out before Van Persie's follow-up shot went high from too tight a angle.

'Joe Hart, he's in great shape. The England commentator is also applauding Joe Hart's excellent form, the Manchester City goalkeeper has been out on loan by Manchester City before, but after Joe Hart returned from loan this season, he firmly occupied the position of Manchester City's main goalkeeper, and the old Irish international Givens were firmly squeezed on the bench, and it is said that Givens has considered a transfer away, obviously facing the competition of a young goalkeeper in excellent form, the veteran goalkeeper does not have much time to consume.

Joe Hart takes the ball in the back of the net and he kicks it to Kompany. Kompany looked ahead and handed the ball to De Jong, who had come to pick him up.

De Jong turned around and saw someone coming up to scramble, he passed the ball to Kompany, who immediately fired a low ball and the ball reached Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure didn't pause after winning the ball, and took advantage of the situation to cross, before Rosicky and others pressed up, passed the ball to his left side, David. After Silva chested the ball, he passed the ball with his right foot to Milner behind Yaya Toure.

Milner received the ball, he was about to dribble forward, but suddenly a sudden stop, taking advantage of the change in degree to get the opportunity to pass the ball and the space, directly pushed the ball to the left side.

I saw Yang Fan running up from behind, using his body to firmly block Vermaelen on his right side, that is, the side close to the goal, but he was skillfully holding the ball at his feet.

Seeing Yang Fan win the ball, the entire Emirates Stadium suddenly erupted in huge boos, which were so violent that many unprepared people were startled.

"There may be many answers to which player Arsenal fans dislike the most, but if there is one player that Arsenal fans dislike the most in their current opponent Manchester City, it must be Yang Fan. Whether Yang Fan was at Manchester United or Manchester City, he led the team to a big victory over Arsenal. Yang Fan can be said to be Arsenal's biggest sufferer in recent seasons. ”

Speaking of which, it is also quite ironic that when Yang Fan was still playing in the Newcastle youth team, it was Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger who first showed his football talent, but Arsenal was a step slower, and could only watch Yang Fan be loaned to Wolfsburg by Newcastle, and everyone knows the story behind it, Arsenal missed Yang Fan in two consecutive transfer periods because he was reluctant to spend money, and then later, they completely lost Yang Fan, and Yang Fan's value at this time was far from what Arsenal could afford。 ”

Vermaelen was only able to terminate Yang Fan's dribbling with a foul.

The referee's whistle blew and he verbally warned Vermaelen to award City a free-kick.

The foul made Arsene Wenger nervous. His ass left his seat and walked to the sidelines, his eyes staring into the arena without blinking.

Yang Fan came up, he was going to take the free kick, and there were shrill and neat boos in the stands of the Emirates Stadium, and they tried to distract Yang Fan with a sonic attack.

Arsenal didn't dare to be careless, they lined up a wall of six.

Arsenal did not dare to be careless. Because they all know that Yang Fan has a very good free kick kung fu.

Yang Fan's free-kick successfully bypassed the human wall and also bypassed the fingertips of goalkeeper Almunia. However, the arc was too large, and the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the goalpost.

When the ball grazed the side-netting, Arsene Wenger even thought it had gone in, which really scared him.

Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia was also taken aback, and he almost thought the ball was going into the net......

I don't know if it was because of nervousness, and then Almunia's goalball was of poor quality, which was directly received by De Jong in the center circle, and he passed directly to Silva, who immediately passed the ball to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan made a gesture to stop the ball, but knocked the football out directly.

It was Yaya Toure who received Yang Fan's pass.

Yaya Toure took the ball at the edge of the penalty area and burst into the box, and after passing Gallas, he immediately crossed the ball in front of the goal.

Almunia didn't dare to attack, Dzeko and Milner hit one and one and two points came up, but neither of them could get the ball under the interference of Vermaelen and Klich, who got ahead of Milner and cleared the ball out of the box.

Although Manchester City's attack still failed to score, Manchester City's continuous attack in a short period of time still made Arsenal fans break out in a cold sweat.

"Manchester City's attacking coordination just now played beautifully, the transfer and advance were very orderly, and the attack was very fast, Arsenal need to be careful, Manchester City was obviously very aggressive today......"

While the on-site commentator was talking, Arsenal advanced with the ball and was cut off, Walcott was cut off by Kompany beautifully, and then, Kompany made a long pass and launched a counterattack, this time to David on the side. After Silva won the ball, he crossed to Yaya Toure, who knocked back to form a one-two, after the breakaway David. Silva's sudden pass and Yang Fan ran past the ball, but he didn't shoot, which immediately threw the Arsenal back into disarray, and Milner at the back post also didn't shoot, but pushed the ball back into the middle again, which surprised the Arsenal people, and then De Jong was seen kicking the ball into the left corner of the box, which was saved by Almunia.

The ball was then cleared by Gallas's big foot.

Arsenal almost conceded the goal, if it wasn't for De Jong, it would have been the other players in Manchester City's goal. "Mortensen said, he was right, De Jong is shooting skills are very average, if it is Yaya Toure or even Milner, maybe this shot has been on goal.

"Manchester City continued to threaten Arsenal's goal, we can see that Manchester City played very actively at the beginning of this game, frequently forming pressure and pressing in the center circle, once they got the opportunity, they immediately counterattacked, but in order to avoid mistakes in the counterattack, Manchester City's counterattack was not impatient, and it was not possible to pass back to Yaya Toure, and he reorganized the attack. ”

'Manchester City have been aggressive at the Emirates Stadium and they look looking to get a good win here. Lineker said.

"Maybe the Manchester City people think they have a lot of experience playing Arsenal now. Mortenson said with a laugh.

The Arsenal fans in front of the TV were scolding when they heard this, but they didn't have anything to do, as long as it was a match between Arsenal and Manchester City, then Arsenal's black history of being slaughtered by Manchester City 2-9 in the league was bound to be bypassed...... Unless Arsenal can also have an epic big win to save face.
