Chapter 649 Robin - Volley - Van Persie!

"Audience friends!! Welcome to the 2012-2013 Premier League Round 5!! Manchester City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium!! ”

"Now the players from both sides have walked onto the pitch to the sound of majestic music! The focus of the fifth round of the Premier League is about to begin!! ”

On the commentary seat, Lightkinson, the commentator, took a long breath, then grabbed the microphone and said loudly.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams first!!"

"On the home side of Manchester City, there was a change in the starting line-up of Coach Gobo from the last game against Real Madrid, Milner was on the bench, and it was striker Jamie Vardy who started in his place!!"

"City's starting XI today is like this: goalkeeper Oblak, centre-back Kompany partnering Kolo Toure, left wing-back Kolarov, right wing-back Kieran Trippier, midfielders David Silva, Casemiro, Eriksen, strikers Eden Hazard, Vardy. Antoine Griezmann!! ”

"On the Arsenal side, goalkeeper Mannone at centre-back, Mertesacker at centre-back with Koscielny, left wing-back Gibbs, right-back Jenkinson, Mikel Arteta at the back with Diaby, right midfielder Ramsey, left wing-back Podolski, midfielder Cazorla, striker Van Persie!!"

As the two commentators spoke, the players from both sides had completed a series of pre-match rituals and stood on the pitch in their respective formations.

Arsenal kick off first.

The moment the referee blew the whistle, Van Persie passed the ball out, then turned and ran forward!

Arsenal's players seem to be unable to hold back!

Arteta's long ball hit the left, and Podolski stopped the ball on the flank and immediately swept it down the middle with a low ball!

Cazorla followed and jumped the ball into the box!

In the penalty area, Van Persie crossed his body and came with a volley!

The ball is slightly over the crossbar!

"Arsenal!! Arsenal's first attack was very threatening, Wenger showed weakness before the game, but when it came to the game, he was not weak at all!! ”

"Beautiful!! Arsenal gave Manchester City a dismissal!! ”

"Van Persie looks very ferocious!!"

The commentators applauded Arsenal's attack.

Gao Bo, on the other hand, has his eyes fixed on Van Persie.

This is an absolutely dangerous character.

If it weren't for Gao Bo, Van Persie would have moved to Manchester United this summer in his original history, and Ferguson would not have retired early, but would have been in charge until this season.

This season, Manchester United won their 20th top-flight title and lifted their 13th Premier League trophy.

Thirteen Premier League trophies in two decades.

Alex Ferguson's Manchester United are a veritable Premier League hegemon!

And the biggest contributor to helping Manchester United win the 20th crown is undoubtedly Van Persie!

The top scorer scored 26 goals in the Premier League that season and led Manchester United, who were already aging at the time, to win the trophy!

Arguably, this season has been one of Van Persie's best in the Premier League, and against such a goalscorer, no team's defence can afford to take lightly.

Looking back, City also completed an attack immediately.

Griezmann takes the ball on the line of the penalty area, and then fakes the shot and volleys from a tight angle after entering the box!

The ball grazed the far post and went out of the baseline.

Both sides completed a threatening offensive, as if it was the prelude to the game!

Manchester City, who play at home, are naturally proactive and they are unlikely to play defensively at home.

And Arsenal's performance in this game surprised Gao Bo!

It was as if he was facing a burning team, radiating the heat of the skin from the inside out.

Soon, Arsenal's attack advanced past the half.

In the Premier League, Arsenal are the representative team of technical football, and Arsene Wenger's team has made a technical transformation early on, insisting on ground coordination, short passing penetration and advancement, relying on team cooperation to tear apart the opponent's defence.

Cazorla is a very good midfielder, with excellent technique and passing ability at his feet.

The same was true of this game, he took the ball up front and protected it, and after two turns to get rid of Eriksen's entanglement, he fed Gibbs who was plugged in in the back row!

Gibbs was fast, he swept the ball into the box just as it was about to go off the line!

In the penalty area, Ramsey and Van Persie are ready to grab points.

Van Persie's foot arched the ball and the ball flew towards the goal, but Oblak blocked it with his foot.

Arsenal's corner didn't go straight to the goal, they played a tactic.

Podolski picked up the ball on the edge of the left-hand box line and curled a right-footed shot that Oblak made another save from, leaping high and lifting the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

Arsenal's back-to-back corners!!

"Arsenal's attack has been quite fierce during this time!!"

"Arsenal, who were playing away, continued to threaten Manchester City's goal, and with their cold attack, they gradually took the initiative on the field!!"

Lightkinson said.

Arsenal supporters were also very excited, and the Arsenal fans were singing and cheering at the Etihad Stadium.

In the game, it was Arsenal who had the advantage.

Gao Bo kept doing all kinds of exaggerated body language on the sidelines!

He saw the danger of the team, Arsenal were in great shape today, and if this game was not handled carelessly, Manchester City may really be in danger of overturning at home.

"What kind of medicine did they take?"

Moya muttered as she spoke.

Not to mention Moya, even Gao Bo didn't quite understand.

Arsenal: Is this the rhythm of a collective outbreak?

If they had this form in every game, they wouldn't have been without a championship for several years and would have been fighting for four every year.

"Regardless of them, just think that they just happened to be in full shape today!"

Gao Bo shook his head and said.

The other party is in good shape, what can he do.

Therefore, the most important thing is Manchester City's play, fortunately, Gao Bo has reminded the team before, pay attention to Arsenal, be careful that the other party is playing a pig and eating a tiger, otherwise, Manchester City may really be rushed by Arsenal, in a hurry, untenable.

Gao Bo stared at the court.

It's Manchester City's attack!

David Silva, Aix, Antoine Griezmann, Hazard, Vardy, Manchester City kicked the ball in succession, and several players in front of the field had already touched the ball separately.

But in the end, Vardy's shot hit Mertesacker's chest, and then Mertesacker cleared the ball and the ball went to the right!

Ramsey won the ball and then moved a long ball to the edge of the box.

When the camera follows the football to this side, Van Persie can already be seen adjusting the pace.

What is he going to do?!

"Robin... Van Persie !!!!!!!!!! ”

Commentators have already begun chanting Van Persie's name.

Bang!!!!

A solid volley hit Gao Bo's heart.

Gobo chuckled inwardly, he remembered Van Persie's countless goals.

This is a striker who shoots so well on his feet.....

Just when Gao Bo was lucky, Van Persie had already completed a volley with his left foot!

Oblak couldn't do anything about it, and the ball whistled into the net from the corner.
