Manchester City beat Southampton away from home!!

This is naturally a source of joy for the Manchester City fans!

They were ready to settle for a draw.

Where did you think that they actually attacked at the last second of the game, the last corner, the last attack!

Teenager Li Yuanshan put the ball into the opponent's goal!!

This unexpected joy has made Manchester City fans feel very good these days!!

"I love this kid!!"

"Hopefully he will have more opportunities to play in the future!!"

"Big center, this type of player, it's rare in all of Europe!"

Fans began to discuss Li Yuanshan more.

The match was also heavily covered by the media in England.

Li Yuanshan's lore scene also appeared more on TV.

In a word, Li Yuanshan is even more famous.

He's a striker!

It's only normal for a striker to score a goal to be the darling of the media.

And at the same time.

In China!

Li Yuanshan made a stunner to help Manchester City win three points!!

Such news immediately made the entire fan circle boil.

Li Yuanshan's birth really made fans have more expectations.

Since in the Chinese Super League, the position of striker has been occupied by foreign aid for a long time, so there have been few domestic strikers recently!!

Weak edge!!

This is the first thing that comes to mind when all fans mention the national football team.

The emergence of Li Yuanshan is undoubtedly a lifesaver to change the status quo of the national team's powerlessness.

Both in England and in China.

Before the start of the next round of the league, people were eagerly discussing the topic of Li Yuanshan.

Lore!!

It is always the most bloody scene on the football field.

And the players who send the stunner will naturally be able to get more attention.

......

While the media is talking about it.

The final round of the Champions League group stage was staged.

As Manchester City have already locked up the top spot in the group ahead of schedule.

So, in this group, the last round of Manchester City vs Plzen is meaningless.

Plzen also sealed the first place early - the bottom of the group.

Therefore, basically neither side will send the main force in this game.

After all, it is certainly unwise for both sides to waste the physical strength of the main players for a meaningless game.

In this game, Manchester City even rotated the goalkeeper.

All-youth team plus players from the reserve team play!

Li Yuanshan also got the chance to start.

Two games in a row, starting in the Champions League.

Even if it is two unimportant games, but this is enough to cheer up the domestic fans.

Manchester City, who are playing at home, plays with a third-tier lineup, so the coordination is definitely not as tacit as the first team.

Fortunately, their opponents are not much better.

The defensive organization on both sides looked a bit disorganized.

Fortunately, even if Manchester City is a third-tier lineup, its strength is still stronger than its opponents.

A chaotic game.

The score is two to one!

Manchester City won at home.

Li Yuanshan opened the scoring for the team.

Then Denis Suarez scored from a free-kick.

And in another game in the same group.

AC Milan actually lost away to CSKA Moscow!!

In this way, AC Milan's points were overtaken by CSKA Moscow!

The dignified Serie A giants didn't even qualify from the group and went to play in the Europa League.

CSKA Moscow qualified second in the group.

........

The group stage of the Champions League is over.

The draw for the round of 16 will not take place until next week, after all the group matches have been concluded.

And after Manchester City played the game against Plzen, they began to concentrate on the next round of the Hundred League!

In this game, Manchester City will be a guest at the Emirates Stadium to challenge the Premier League giants Arsenal.

This season, Arsenal have been in good form.

After 16 games so far, they have 13 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 40 points, ranking second in the league.

If you exclude Manchester City's terrifying 16 consecutive wins this season, Arsenal's result is already a very successful start in the previous Premier League!

Forty points in sixteen games!

With an average of 2.5 points per game, this scoring efficiency even makes Arsenal fans feel like the team is back to the time of the 03-04 season.

It was a good time for Arsenal....

Last season, the team brought in Mesut Ozil!

Plus the bank loan at the Emirates Stadium has also been paid off!

Arsenal seem to be coming to an end of their struggling days and starting to show the real buying power of their Premier League giants in the transfer market!

Arsenal fans are convinced!

As long as the team is no longer heavily in debt!

Arsenal have the quality to pursue any of the best stars in the world!!

Their most expensive ticket in the Premier League is proof of that.

It's a pity that even if Arsenal are in great form this season, they are up against a much better and much better Manchester City!!

It is said that people are better than people, and they are angry!

Without Manchester City, Arsenal's achievement would have been enough for Arsenal fans to shout for a team revival!!

Sixteen wins in a row!!

Forty-eight points!!

Such a terrifying state and strength made Manchester City stand out and quickly move towards the league championship.

"No one can stop them!!"

Before the game, a guest said this in a BBC sports program about the Premier League.

And this statement, naturally, will not be refuted.

Manchester City has been champions this season.

Of course, in the pre-race press conference, when asked if the title suspense had been lost this season.

Arsene Wenger, of course, gave a negative answer.

"No, no, no, I don't think so, Arsenal are eight points behind Manchester City at the moment, Chelsea are eight points behind Manchester City at the moment, Manchester United have been on a winning streak recently, this season many teams are in excellent form, I don't think the suspense of the league title is over!"

Arsene Wenger emphasised.

As for whether Arsenal will win at home to Manchester City.

Of course, the old French coach is unlikely to show weakness in words.

"This is our home turf!! Arsenal will show their quality! ”

With that, Wenger turned and left.

And at Manchester City's pre-match press conference.

Both Gobo and Kompany, the team's captain who attended the pre-match press conference, looked very relaxed.

'Arsenal have been in good form this season, but our goal is still to win and keep the rhythm going!'

When Kompany was asked if it would have an impact on the team if he didn't finish until the last second in the last game and struggled to get a win, Kompany shook his head.

"No, no, no! It doesn't have the slightest effect! I don't think that's going to happen again in this game! ”

Kompany said confidently.

Sixteen wins in a row!

Enough for Manchester City to accumulate absolute self-confidence!!

........

And just the day before the race!

News came from Arsenal that Koscielny had been injured in training!

'According to the information just got, Koscielny was injured without a confrontation, Koscielny's injury is bad news, but the good news is that Vermaelen has just recovered from injury and he can play in this game!

On the TV news, pre-match news about the match between Manchester City and Arsenal is being broadcast.

Gao Bo and Moya were drinking while watching the news.

"That's good news!"

Mo Ya took a sip of wine and said.

"Haha, yes, that's good news!!"

Gao Bo also smiled.

Vermaelen hasn't played much this season.

The Belgian centre-back has been plagued by injuries since last season.

Injuries and injuries stopped.

This season, he has only made three appearances in the league.

In Arsenal's three games without a win, Vermaelen featured in two of them.

In the game where Vermaelen appeared, Arsenal had one win, one draw and one loss!

It can be said that the win rate has dropped significantly.

Of course, the Arsenal captain is not out of the woods.

It's a long-term injury that makes it difficult for him to train systematically.

On the pitch, it's hard for him to show his true quality.

Before the game, there was news that Vermaelen had recovered from injury again and had the possibility of appearing.

But Koscielny has already secured himself this season.

As long as Koscielny doesn't have a problem, Vermaelen is highly unlikely.

Now, with Koscielny injured, Vermaelen is Arsenal's only option at centre-back.

He'll be playing with Mertesacker!

.........

It's not just Gobo and City who think Vermaelen will be a weakness for Arsenal.

Many media outlets think so, too.

"Sky Sports" said that the state of Vermaelen in this game is likely to be a time bomb in Arsenal's defense.

If Vermaelen can't keep up with the rhythm of such a strong conversation, Arsenal's defence will be in danger.

In this regard, the player himself stood up and made a strong statement: "In this game, I am still Vermaelen in peak form!" ”

.......

December 18, 2013!

London!

Emirates Stadium!

The match between Manchester City and Arsenal has been going on for more than ten minutes.

"Arsenal at home are not conservative at all, and after the game started, the bigger the two sides were!! Both sides continued to push on the offensive end, and the pace of the game was very fast!! ”

On the commentary bench, Lightkinson said.

"Wenger is very bold, although it is very risky, but I have to say that Arsenal has done a good job in these ten minutes!!" Redknapp said, his gaze from the commentary box to the field, Manchester City's new offensive is coming!!

"Vermaelen robbed Griezmann... Pretty!!! Lightkinson exclaimed excitedly!!

Prior to this, Vermaelen had been very successful in several top tackles.

The Belgian centre-back is still here!

However, when Vermaelen pounced again, Griezmann slapped at his feet, which not only deceived Vermaelen, but also gave Griezmann time to calmly dunk the ball!!

When Antoine Griezmann dunked the ball through!!

Vermaelen's weakness that has just returned from injury has exploded 1!

His muscular strength has not yet returned to its peak!!

Of course, when he was in a hurry to turn around, the lack of strength made Vermaelen almost lose his balance all of a sudden!!

Griezmann, on the other hand, made him pounce and hit it from the other side!!

It doesn't matter if Vermaelen is empty!!

What's more, after Mertesacker was attracted away by Hazard's movement, Vermaelen's side was directly broken!!

In the middle of Arsenal's defense, a large blank space suddenly appeared in the middle!!

Fortunately, Arsenal's defensive position was raised very high before, and Griezmann broke through at once, and there was still some distance from the goal!

The two full-backs, Monreal and Sagna, desperately tried to get back to the middle to fill the gap!!

"Griezmann's beautiful breakthrough!! There was a big gap in Arsenal's defence!! ”

"Antoine Griezmann is advancing rapidly!!"

City's players fully executed Gobo's tactical intent to storm Vermaelen.

He knows that Arsenal will also judge his tactical intentions.

But what if it was judged?

It turns out!

That's where Arsenal's weakness lies!!

Antoine Griezmann's speed is completely up!!

He quickly reached the edge of the penalty area!!

At this time!!

Two of Arsenal's full-backs also killed!!

Antoine Griezmann lifted his foot and shot with momentum!!

Two full-backs tackle at the same time!!

A simple move made the two Arsenal defenders fall to the ground and blocked!!

Arsenal's defence has been completely panicked!!

Antoine Griezmann took the opportunity to pick the ball up slightly!!

Football is on Sanchez's side!!

'Man City are pushing very fast!!!

Sanchez stopped the ball and pressed into the box!!

Mertesacker pounced!!

Meanwhile!

Eden Hazard is also on this side!!!

Sanchez flicks the ball to Eden Hazard on the outside of his foot!!

In the Restricted Area!!

Eden Hazard was unguarded!!

Goalkeeper Szczesny left the goal!!

Pounced!!

He has to keep the distance between himself and Hazard as short as possible and not give Hazard a chance to shoot calmly!!

Start with a breakthrough in Vermaelen!

Arsenal's defence collapsed!

At least for now, there is no complete defense in the penalty area!

Arsenal players, each on its own!!

......

In this game, Gao Bo's tactics are very clear.

used to attack Arsenal, and the breakthrough point he chose was Vermaelen!!

Hazard didn't stop long after the ball!

At the same time as Szczesny rushed in front of him, Hazard easily pushed the ball down the middle!!

Szczesny hurried back!

Jumped up and pounced!!

However, Griezmann, who was keeping up with him at this time, had already completed an easy push!

Under the watchful eyes of all the Arsenal players and fans, the football slowly flew from the turf to the goal!!

Until... Crossed the goal line!!

Wilmalen appeared on the goal-line, and after being breached, he went straight to the goal-line!

As a result, he was still a step too late.

The football crossed the goal line ....

Doodle!!

The whistle blows!

Manchester city... One goal ahead!
