In the dressing room of the home team at the Emirates Stadium, the Arsenal players were a little frustrated, having been conceded by another goal towards the end of the first half. Now, they have to score three goals in the second half to win, and at the same time make sure they don't concede any more goals, which is a terrible situation.

"Okay, don't think about conceding the ball. Now that it's already raw, it's useless to regret it......" Wenger was comforting them. "Instead of being frustrated here for a first half that has already ended, think about how we were still in the second half with color!" he clenched his fist and waved it in front of everyone's eyes.

'In the first half, to be honest, you didn't play badly. Arsene Wenger said that although this is meant to give the players a boost, but, as Wenger said, Arsenal did not play badly in the first half, and now the score of 1-3 is not so much that Arsenal played badly, but that Manchester City played better.

"The penalty...... It was an accident. Wenger continued, but was the penalty really an accident? Wenger saw it clearly, he knew that the referee did not show Almunia a red card, it was really Arsenal's great luck, if a penalty was awarded, and Almunia was sent off again, then Arsenal really had no hope at all.

“…… At the beginning of the second half, we had to strengthen the attack, and in the first half we were still more threatening, but the offensive efficiency was too poor!"

"Van Persie, you can be a little more active. There was no problem in the second half, right?"

Van Persie gasped for breath, hearing Wenger criticize his lack of activity, Van Persie was angry, he didn't look up, just stuffed his head and said "um", indicating that he was fine.

Wenger looked at this player who gave him a headache, Van Persie's temperament is indeed difficult to manage, and Wenger is still more tolerant of Van Persie...... The talented Van Persie seems to have been born with a bad temper. Arguing with opponents on the pitch and fouling due to hot heads, Van Persie was used as a "training material" by Wenger more than once because of his immaturity in his first season at Arsenal. Fortunately, Wenger has always valued Van Persie's football talent and given him strong support in difficult times, which has led to Van Persie's current achievements. In this regard, Van Persie has previously publicly expressed his gratitude to Wenger: "Whether I perform well or badly, the coach is very honest and honest with me, he and the team have helped me a lot when I am difficult, I just want to put all my energy on football!"

Although he expressed his gratitude to Wenger and thought from the bottom of his heart, this short-tempered player was still unable to control his temper when he heard the criticism, fortunately, Wenger knew more about Van Persie, but this player was this virtue, not politely against himself, so he didn't go to his heart, but Wenger still decided to beat Van Persie.

“…… If you can't. I'll replace you. Arsene Wenger said with a serious expression.

Van Persie then spoke, "Coach, I see. ”

Arsene Wenger is now in trouble of his own. His players appear to be lacking in morale. Arsene Wenger began to realise that if he didn't boost the morale of his team, he wouldn't be able to save the team from defeat, even if he had set up his tactics well.

You know, the scene of Arsenal's 2-9 loss is still vivid, and Arsenal is determined to take revenge in this game, but the score of 1-3 in the half of the game seems to make the players very frustrated.

As a result, Wenger stopped explaining the tactics, and since the players were not listening, there was little point in continuing to talk.

"What are you thinking?" he asked, "although the situation is very bad, but we have no hope of turning the tables around, why do I think you have no fighting spirit now?"

No one answered his question.

Cesc Fabregas opened his mouth to say something, he also felt that the morale of the team was in trouble, and as the captain of Arsenal, the soul of this team, he reminded himself that he could never admit defeat or compromise.

He didn't wait for Fabregas to speak. Arsene Wenger continued to explode.

"What time do you think it?!" Wenger, who was a little angry, couldn't help but raise his voice, "It's a time of life and death, and there are forty-five minutes left." The game will be over! You've already conceded early now? In forty-five minutes, if we're eliminated, we'll be away from a championship race this season!"

He slammed the table, making a noise that caused everyone to look up.

In fact, Arsenal has never attached importance to the League Cup, but when the League Cup quarter-final opponent was Manchester City, Wenger decided that no matter what, he could not lose to Manchester City in the League Cup, and if he continued to lose to Manchester City, it would be a bigger blow to Arsenal's morale, and Arsenal would have a shadow when they faced Manchester City in the future.

"You're all throwing in the towel, aren't you? "Do you think you're playing for me! Bastard! I don't have the courage to fight, and I don't have the courage to fight, and I don't want to lose like that, and I don't want to do that, and the fans outside don't agree!!" The angry Wenger threw off his suit, he pointed to the door and roared, which scared everyone, you must know that Wenger is not the kind of coach who roars in the dressing room, when Wenger is so angry and roaring, you can see how angry the manager is.

"They pay for the game, they support you, they see you as heroes! They love you!" Wenger kicked on the door panel, "In the second half of the game, you will die like a bear or fight like a man, you choose!"

With that said, Arsene Wenger slammed the dressing room with a bang. He was about to walk away, and he was angry.

Cesc Fabregas finally stepped up. He said. "Sorry, coach. None of us here want to give up on the game. We won't give up the fight!" he turned to his teammates behind him, and someone nodded.

"Yes. We're not going to give up, there's still forty-five minutes, and even if it's a little bit possible, we're going to try for it. Sagna, the team's vice-captain, also spoke on behalf of the team.

Well, now the problem is solved.

"Then be mental. Take it out and look like you're going to fight!" saw the two bigwigs of the team stand up and make a statement. Arsene Wenger's tone improved a bit and he continued to explain the tactics used in the second half of the pitch to his players.

Arsenal's second-half tactics have only one core: attack, attack, attack!

In the away dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.

"Holy!" came Yang Fan's ghost crying wolf howl in the shower room.

"What's wrong?" Kolarov asked aloud.

"Bastard, whose soap! almost made me fall. Yang Fan shouted.

Kolarov was dumbfounded.

Yang Fan was the last to return to the locker room because he was interviewed in the mixed area just now, he went to his shower cubicle, just entered, he stepped on a soap under his feet, and almost slipped, which scared him a lot, if he slipped and sprained his foot because of such a painful thing and couldn't get on the game, it would be a really strange injury.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, everyone was fine in the shower just now, but they didn't expect this kind of interesting thing to happen when Yang Fan took a shower.

"David, is it the soap you lost?" De Jong said with a laugh.

"Bastard, it's not me. David Silva hastened to avenge himself.

"Who's that?"

Anyway, everyone was idle and the egg hurt, so they discussed, but no one did this, and everyone didn't pay attention to which corner of the compartment had soap, but it was definitely not thrown by everyone.

"Ha, maybe it's the result of a member of the staff at the Emirates Stadium who is obsessed with Young. Milner said with a smile.

"Fuck off. Yang Fan said with a smile.

When the assistant coach of the Manchester City team heard about this, he did not joke with others, but took it very seriously, this matter has been regarded as a mistake by the staff of the Emirates Stadium, if Yang Fan was really slipped and injured by a piece of soap, it would be a big loss for Manchester City.

And, for conspiracy reasons, it's really hard to say if it was an accident or someone did it on purpose.

"I'll go to them. The assistant coach said that he didn't know if it was an accident or if someone did it on purpose, but if it was intentional, it was really too unacceptable.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after the game. Mancini said that he didn't think it was Arsenal's intention, after all, with what he knew about Arsene Wenger, the proud Frenchman would not be disdainful of such a trick, and a giant like Arsenal should not be so dirty.

Yang Fan took a shower, changed into a jersey, put on a coat, and walked out.

"It's okay!"

"It's too much. Yang Fan scolded.

"Okay, it's all quiet. Mancini clapped his hands and said.

Robert. Roberto Mancini began to set up his tactics for the second half.

"After 10 minutes in the second half, you can slow down a little bit and adjust it, and you have to pay attention to defending and conserving your energy during this time. Then wait until the last twenty minutes before starting the force. "Robert. Mancini says City have been playing twice a week lately and fitness is an issue. Moreover, he also knows that Arsenal, who are two goals behind, are bound to attack wildly in the second half, and Mancini's tactic is to respond to all changes with the same, based on defense, and waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

Moreover, it is tiring to maintain a rhythm all the time against an opponent like Arsenal, a game of such a heavyweight, because in addition to the physical exertion of the players, the mental pressure is also not to be underestimated.

In the first half, although Arsenal fell behind, Arsenal's attack still caused a certain amount of pressure on Manchester City, Manchester City faced Arsenal's attack, the defensive pressure was very high, the team seemed to be tense up and down, and the psychological pressure was great, and when counterattacking, it was required to press quickly, the players sprinted back and forth, and the physical consumption was also great, after the start of the second half of the game, there must be some adjustment, otherwise, the game may not be over for 90 minutes, and the physical fitness of the whole team will have problems, which will be bad.

Now, Manchester City is leading 3-1, and Arsenal will definitely attack in the second half, so, according to Mancini's tactics, Arsenal will attack, and Manchester City will be based on defense, in addition to recovering physical fitness, it can also create opportunities for itself to counterattack. Speaking of counterattacks, with Yang Fan, an all-round shooter with excellent awareness, technique and marksmanship, Robert. Roberto Mancini still has a lot of confidence in the team.

In the first half, in addition to that penalty, Manchester City's two goals were classic examples of defensive counter-attacks.

'Arsenal are desperate to score goals and they will definitely be attacking our goal as soon as the second half starts. At that time, don't rush out and fight them. Kolarov, and Kolo Toure, you have to concentrate, Arsenal will continue to push your side in the second half. "Speaking of which, Robert. Mancini has a bit of a headache, and the defense on this side is really worrying him. Kolarov has been inconsistent lately, and Kolo Toure has been in average form lately.

"Leave it to us. Kolarov took the last bite of the banana, wiped his mouth and assured the manager. Kolarov's physical exertion is extremely high, and he has to replenish his physical strength, and for athletes, eating a banana or two to replenish his physical strength is almost commonplace.

'Well, that's it in the second half, defensively. "Robert. Mancini clapped his hands again, "Defending the opponent's attack can boost our morale on the one hand, and hit the opponent's morale the other." Football is a trade-off process. If you can withstand their onslaught at the start of the second half, then Arsenal's morale will take a huge hit!

Everyone nodded, they weren't rookies anymore, many of them were tried and tested veterans, and they knew it.

"Then there's the offense. When defending, you can't forget to counterattack, Yang Fan, Milner, in the second half of the game, you have to wave your degree. Cause problems for Arsenal's defence. ”

"No problem!"

"Got it, Coach. ”

It was Yang Fan who said that there was no problem, and said that he knew, coach. It's Milner.

Subsequently, Robert. Mancini looked at Dzeko, "Edin, you have to be more active in the second half. ”

"No problem, coach!" Dzeko nodded, his recent form is also hot, and working with Yang Fan, a former teammate, feels great, and he is very satisfied with his decision to accept Yang Fan's invitation to join Manchester City.

"In the end, I hope that no matter what the situation is, you will not lose your desire to win the game and the confidence to win. This is more important than any tactic. Arsenal will definitely fight back, let them come! We are not afraid! The more crazy they fight back, the closer we are to victory!!" Mancini said.

Everyone nodded vigorously.

They knew before the game that Arsenal were gritting their teeth and wanting revenge, and they would not give Arsenal the slightest chance.
