Chapter 820: Slapping the face of the striker

Yes!!

The counter-attack that the Arsenal players hoped for never happened!!

Their formation was completely squashed!

Striker Giroud stood alone in the front pitch without a little support!

Occasionally, long balls from the back, under Kompany's close defence, Giroud couldn't control the ball even if he got to the ball first!!

And Arsenal put on the two fast horses Walcoat and Oxlade-Chamberlain!

They are now not wingers at all, but have been pressed into full-backs by Manchester City........

Arsenal's attack is completely out of reach!!

And that's the best thing for Manchester City.

They press their opponents!!

Constantly passing the ball to find opportunities, even if there is no goal for the time being, as long as Arsenal can't play a counter-attack, Manchester City can unscrupulously invest in attacking numbers in the front!!

"Arsenal are too passive now!"

"After half-time, Arsene Wenger's substitutions didn't have any effect at all!!"

'Now Arsenal are completely flattened, their formation is almost compressed to the extreme, and in the Arsenal penalty area, it is densely packed with people!! Even if they were able to steal the ball once in a while, it would be difficult to get it out and form a counter-attack!! ”

"Four minutes into the second half, the game basically turned into a half-time attack and defensive drill for Manchester City!"

The commentators shook their heads on the commentary seats.

The home fans were not interested at all.

Most of the Arsenal fans sat in their seats, nervously watching the pitch.

At this time, the cheers of the fans at the Emirates Stadium through the live camera belonged to most of the Manchester City fans!!

Cheered on by the Manchester City fans!!

Manchester City's attack is also getting sharper!!

The 58th minute of the game!!

Arsenal managed to get the ball down, only for Aaron Ramsey to be prejudged by Casemiro when he crossed to Flamini!!

Casemiro is accurate in the grab!!

Then he flicked the ball to the side!!

Fernandinho, who was keeping up, volleyed from an area of more than 20 meters from the goal!!

The soccer ball was hit with a fluttering leaf ball!!

Szczesny seems to be helpless against such a shot!!

He turned his head and almost watched the football enter his own goal....

"Fernandinho!!!!!! Nice long-range !!! The Brazilian midfielder has a long-range shot and has been a consistent performer in the league!! ”

"Score from distance!! In the face of Arsenal's dense defense, Manchester City opened the Arsenal goal with a long-range shot!! Three to zero!! Arsenal, playing at home, trailed by three goals!!! ”

Arsene Wenger on the sidelines covered his face with his hands.

What can he do in the face of such a conceded goal?

The team's formation was completely squashed!

In the outer area, Manchester City's long-range shooters will naturally not let go!!

A long-range shot is a weapon for playing dense defense!!

And this time, Fernandinho's volley is of very high quality!

The soccer ball barely rotates in the air, and under the influence of air currents, the swaying soccer ball also makes it very difficult for the goalkeeper to judge!!

When soccer strikes again!!

Arsenal fans are even more silent!!

Three goals behind... On their home turf ....

Arsenal fans themselves have a hard time believing that the team can get back on the scoreline.

The only thing they can hope for now is for Arsenal to score.... At least not to lose too badly... Isn't it?

And now for Arsenal, what are they going to do?

Continue to defend and prepare for a counterattack?

When they were two goals down before, it was understandable that they were crouching and counterattacking, after all, they only needed to score one goal, and they were only one goal behind.

When the time comes, the morale of both sides will be weakened, and Arsenal may not have a chance to equalize or even overtake.

But now, Manchester City is indeed not conservative because they are two goals down, but Arsenal's own counter-attack is not at all.

And now... Instead of scoring, they conceded first!

Three goals behind!

Continuing to defend stubbornly, for Arsenal, I am afraid there is no chance at all!

In that case, why not attack it?!

......

Arsenal is a team that has a "standing and dying" temperament.

Even if they are eliminated, even if they lose, they can always make a very tragic appearance on the field.

It's like this game!!

When the Arsenal fought back, their offensive gradually began to fight.

And after Manchester City scored the third goal, the players were actually a little lax.

After all, with a three-goal lead, Manchester City's players are not robots!!

In the next game, the cheers of the Arsenal fans finally warmed up!

Sixty minutes of the game!!

Wilshire pulls in a cross from the left!

The soccer ball draws a graceful arc and flies to the back point!!

This time, Giroud found an opportunity to bully Umtiti with his body!

He jumped high and headed the ball into goal, only to be held high by him!!

There was a sigh in the stands, and then there was continuous applause!!

For Arsenal's wonderful attack, Arsenal fans still gave quite encouragement.

A minute later!

Arsenal's attack is back!!

Full-back Sagna dribbled the ball to the edge of the line and crossed!!

Olivier Giroud flicks his head from the edge of the six-yard box!!

As a result, the football went off again!!

'Olivier Giroud was very active, and after not taking advantage of Kompany on his header, he took the initiative to find Umtiti!! Young Umtiti looked a little panicked by Olivier Giroud's header!! ”

Sixty-sixth minute of the game!

Arsenal squandered their biggest chance of the game!!

Ramsey passes through to Giroud, who passes to Wilshere!!

The Arsenal midfielder dribbled in the City penalty area and crossed the ball past two in a row.........

"Empty Door !!!!!!"

Giroud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The commentators roared!!

Everyone thought that this time Giroud was definitely going to go in!

After all, in the first few minutes, his performance was very active, showing a very good state!!

But this time, Giroud slapped everyone in the face!!

He shoots with the arch of his right foot!!

Outcome......

The soccer ball grazed the upright and went out of the bottom line!!

The record of the missed opportunity is kneeling in the restricted area and covering his face with his hands!!

This is an absolute golden opportunity!!

Empty door!!

"Giroud......"

Lightkinson, the narrator, sighed.

Previously, Lightkinson kept praising Giroud's performance.

His strong frame and his ability to head the ball have caused a lot of problems for City's defence.

As a result, he turned around, and he immediately ....... Punch everybody in the face with an empty door that doesn't come in.

The France international is truly .......... Slap the face of the striker!
