Chapter 524: Offensive Drama
The game restarted, Arsenal could only continue to strengthen the attack, and they completely gave up defending at this time, absolutely desperate!
This is our home stadium and we can't afford to lose here!
We're going to win against Manchester City!
Arsenal have to fight for glory, and they can't lose to Manchester City if they lose to anyone!
That's what almost all Arsenal players think.
It's just that for Arsenal, they must face a grim situation, in which Yang Fan's goal just now has a huge psychological and de facto impact on the two teams, Yang Fan's goal at a critical moment is equivalent to giving the whole Manchester City team a reassurance, they are now playing more and more relaxed, even in the face of Arsenal's fierce attack, it seems calm.
At this time, the Manchester City players have confidence in their hearts, two goals ahead, which gives them room to make mistakes, even if they lose another goal, there is still room for maneuver, so they are not afraid of losing the ball, which makes the players psychologically relaxed, relaxation is not equal to relaxation, the former is the peace of mind, the latter is psychological slackness, and this relaxed mentality is conducive to the player's swing.
The morale of the whole team was high, and although they faced Arsenal's onslaught in the final moments of the game, Manchester City were not as passive as before, but were able to seize the opportunity to play some beautiful counter-attacks.
"The game restarted, and the back-to-back Manchester City didn't stop there...... Yang Fan's goal stabilized the morale of the army, which also made Manchester City's performance very stable. Arsenal want to score, it's not easy. Robert. Mancini has returned to the dugout, and it is clear that the current situation of Manchester City has reassured him!"
Arsene Wenger was standing on the sidelines, his expression was a little gloomy, and it was clear that he knew the situation of the team now, and Arsenal didn't have to think about whether they could qualify now, they were fighting for glory now!
'Arsenal's attack has not slowed down in the slightest, although City's attack has threatened their defence on a number of occasions. But they have no choice now, if they don't attack, they have no hope, attacking is gambling, but, after all, there is hope! Or even if they end up out, but whether they die with pride or leave in embarrassment, these are two very different outcomes! Arsenal's players must show the courage to fight. ”
A chance to kill the ball, Wenger called Cesc Fabregas to the sidelines, he told the young captain not to think about promotion now, Arsenal are now fighting for glory, the rest of the game time, fight!
Arsenal's players did not hesitate to follow the manager's tactical approach and they began to fight in a tragic battle.
An Arsenal attack found its way into the front of City's penalty area.
Rosicky received a pass from a teammate, he pulled the ball and turned around, looked at the situation in front of him, and then chose to pass.
The ball arcs past Zabaleta's feet and flies towards the goal!
Rosicky's pass is a thief, it's a low ball, the ball is fast, and it's a headache for defenders and goalkeepers alike, because a little carelessness can result in conceding the ball, whether it's a shot or an own goal by your own side.
Van Persie saw Rosicky's pass, he knew how to step forward, and he swerved and rushed forward, he was going to grab the point.
Richards followed him closely, not letting him make easy moves.
Joe Hart dived to block the cross.
The cross was close to the goalkeeper, and Van Persie was also fierce, so the final result was: all three of them collided at the same time!
The ball rolled from Joe Hart's armpit into the goal behind him!
The ball is in!
Rosicky crosses...... It was City's chance, with Robin van Persie in front of goal and they bumped into each other...... Van Persie scored the goal!"
Rosicky lifted Zabaleta, which was pressing on him, and then jumped up from the ground and ran towards Van Persie to celebrate their goal.
The Manchester City players raised their arms to complain to the referee that Van Persie charged the goalkeeper and the goal should be disallowed!
The referee ignored the complaints of the Manchester City players, he blew the whistle and pointed to the center circle with a clear meaning: there is no problem with this goal, the goal is valid!
"It was an unbelievable game! 4-5! 4-45! The game was in suspense again and Arsenal were only one goal behind. ”
"Van Persie, he scored the crucial goal!"
“gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1!”
'Tenacious Arsenal, they still have a chance. ”
Rosicky brought down Van Persie's team-mates who came running, and took the opportunity to press up.
Because the place where Arsenal celebrated was near Yang Fan, Yang Fan watched these Manchester City players celebrate goals under his nose, shouting loudly in his mouth, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and he really wanted to kick it.
In the end, there was no impulse, because in that case he would definitely be sent off directly, he just shook his head helplessly and walked back with an uneven face.
Arsenal equalised, but Arsene Wenger was impatient, his players are now busy celebrating, don't they know that game time is running out and they are still two points behind?
"Hurry up and start the game. ”
"Stop celebrating. ”
Wenger's roar rang out, which made Van Persie and others, who were busy celebrating, wake up from a dream.
Mancini's side wasn't as furious as anyone thought, he just rushed to the sidelines, cursed hard, and sat back down.
At this time, in Manchester, the fans who could not go to the stadium gathered in various bars to watch the game, and almost everyone cursed loudly when they saw Arsenal score to close the gap again.
If they were two goals ahead, they would have felt that they had a chance to win, but now that they are only one goal ahead, the fans are starting to get a little nervous.
Van Persie's goal gave Arsenal an equaliser and renewed their confidence. Arsenal were in high spirits because they only needed one goal to equalise and then both sides could get back to the same starting line again, and they saw hope.
Morale is an ethereal factor that does exist and affects many things.
Arsenal morale is high right now. How will City respond?
Mancini gave it a little thought and decided to avoid the limelight from Arsenal and wait for them to pass.
He walked to the sideline and made a gesture to drop back to the defense.
Arsene Wenger noticed Mancini's gesture and understood what he meant, and he realised that this was Arsenal's best chance, and if he couldn't take it, then the first thing he couldn't forgive was himself.
Chase while you win!
So with a wave of his hand, he pressed the whole line and bet on whether he could kill a way out of life for a while!
Rosicky continued to dribble the ball along the touchline.
He intends to break through Zabaleta again.
Then he saw Zabaleta's aggressive frontal rush, and then a very fierce tackle, the distance was too close, and the two were very fast, Rosicky didn't have time to change direction again, and Zabaleta even shoveled out of the sideline with the ball.
The referee's whistle blew and Arsenal was awarded a free kick, Rosicky knelt on the ground and raised his hands to signal to the referee that the foul should at least be a yellow card, right?
Rosicky waved his hand helplessly and stood up from the ground, and he silently walked forward along the sideline with his head down. He is indeed unhappy, if Zabaleta is shown another yellow card, then the Argentine will be sent off, you know, Zabaleta already has a yellow card.
Arsene Wenger, who also appeared furious on the sidelines, protested to the fourth official, arguing that the referee's decision was unfair and that Zabaleta should have been shown a second yellow card and then sent off.
The fourth official could only reassure the Arsenal manager and tactfully warn Wenger that if he continued to chatter, he would ask the referee to deal with the matter, and Wenger had to give up stupidly.
On the pitch, Cesc Fabregas came running over to take the free-kick.
His cross was too low and was headed over by Zabaleta at the front post.
Cesc Fabregas pulled down the right flank to organise the attack, but Zabaleta cut the ball off and handed it to Milner in front.
City switched from defence to attack in an instant, with Milner not dribbling the ball. Instead, he directly passed the football to Yang Fan in the front court.
Yang Fan rushed with the ball, and now there are only two people in the frontcourt, he and Milner, and more teammates have returned to their own half to participate in the defense. Manchester City have not invested enough in attack in recent times, and they have to rely on themselves.
Gallas came up to guard Yang Fan, Yang Fan didn't want to waste time in one-on-one with him, since it was anti-counter, then he had to pay attention to it.
He gave the ball to Milner, who was following him, and continued to run on his own. Milner took two steps and passed the ball out. The target is Yang Fan, who is running in front.
Yang Fan added violently, he immediately got rid of Gallas, Yang Fan's degree was very fast, and Gallas's degree couldn't fight him at all.
The left foot reached forward and unloaded Milner's cross with a hook on his toe, and the whole set of movements was fluid.
Gallas had just caught up from behind. He was going to reach out and push Yang Fan to interfere with his next move. Unexpectedly, Yang Fan's body shrank and changed direction, knocking the football to the side. made him push into the air, but almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Evading the angle and the clear, Yang Fan immediately hit the door directly, he was not willing to take a few more steps, and then wait for Garas to come up and stick to him.
As soon as Yang Fan flashed out of the shot, he decisively shot at the goal.
Yang Fan shot very suddenly, and it was also very tricky, and the football flew towards the bottom corner of the goal near the turf with a jump against the turf.
Almunia moved ahead of time, he thought he had blocked the angle, but Yang Fan's shot was tricky, and the ball actually rolled under Almunia's armpit, and then rolled into the net behind him.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1!”
He scored, and City scored again. ”
"Six to four! Six to four! ”
"Great goal, great Yang Fan! This conceded goal is a big blow for Arsenal. ”
Yang Fan didn't celebrate much after the goal, it's not that he didn't want to celebrate, but Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia didn't have time to be annoyed, he immediately fished the football out of the net and kicked it forward, and Van Persie hurriedly held the football in the center circle this time, and at the same time the other players of Arsenal also hurried back to their positions to stand up, and at the same time reminded the referee to hurry up and restart the game.
Therefore, the celebration of Yang Fan and the rest of Manchester City players could only end in a huffy manner under the constant protests of the Arsenal players and the stop of the referee.
The game was played for the 11th time in the middle circle.
'It was a crazy game, Man City were 6-4 away to Arsenal and the two sides had already scored 10 goals together. Lineker sighed.
"Arsenal are completely desperate. Mortensen said, "Look at this, there will be goals. ”
"That's right. Lineker nodded, looking at this posture, goals are indeed possible, whether it is Arsenal's crazy attack or the vacancy behind Arsenal's attack is seized by Manchester City, now in this situation, the probability of scoring has greatly improved.
Arsenal's attack came again and Theo Walcott played the ball into the box.
The cross was headed over by Richards.
Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines and shouted to the pitch: "Change the way, change the way!"
Arsenal aren't the kind of team that excels at wide crosses, and Robin van Persie isn't the kind of centre-forward who has a bullish header.
Nasri began to come alive, and his incisive penetrations down the middle made Vieira struggle to defend, and at some times he even had to resort to fouls to stop the Frenchman's breakthrough.
Arsenal's attacking playmaking is left to Nasri, who can either break down the middle and shoot or through the striker, or split the ball on two flanks to play Rosicky and Dia to the ball. When the ball is passed to the wing, there are many variations in the attack. They can either send them a direct cross or hit the ball to the top of the arc outside the penalty area for Cesc Fabregas and Nasri, who came to pick up the ball after the pass, to complete a long-range shot.
Whether it's in the air or on the ground, in the box or outside the box, Arsenal's attack is all-round and three-dimensional. Of course, Arsenal's best game is mercury-like ground attack.
Manchester City are now quite struggling to cope with Arsenal's attack.
"Arsenal's attack, Nasri breaking through the middle and Vieira can't stop him!
The football shot into the far corner, Joe Hart flew desperately, rubbed the football between his fingers, made the football jump slightly, and then the football controlled the outside of the goal post and flew out of the bottom line!
"Wow! It's dangerous! This shot is of a very high standard, and Joe Hart is also wonderful!"
Joe Hart jumped up from the ground and slapped his teammates and yelled, "Stick it up, what is the defense doing, can't let him shoot easily in the box!"
In fact, it is not entirely to blame the defenders, because Nasri's breakthrough in the middle is so sharp, Nasri has attracted the attention of almost all Manchester City defenders, which has caused a situation where no one is watching Chamak.
Arsenal are getting more and more energetic, and although the game is 81 minutes on, Arsenal seems to be like an excited bull, not tired at all.
Arsene Wenger was standing on the sidelines, he couldn't sit still. In this situation, Arsenal is very close to scoring and may score at any time, but the professor also knows that the defense line after Arsenal's furious attack is empty, which also means that Arsenal may concede another goal at any time: although Manchester City's pure attacker on the field now is only Yang Fan!
Arsene Wenger knows this, so he is nervous and scared.
