Arsenal's attack is gorgeous, in the first half of the league when the two teams met for the first time, Manchester City lost an o:3 at home, but at that time Manchester City changed most of the team, and the cooperation was very rusty, and it was understandable that Arsenal had a fiasco when it encountered a smooth attack, but now after more than half a season, Manchester City's defense is no longer like before when it can only stop the opponent's attack with individual ability. Under the tutelage of assistant coach Maurizio Sarri, Manchester City's defense also has some Italian defensive skills, although Arsenal's attack is fierce, but relying on tenacious defense and some luck, Manchester City opened to prevent Arsenal's indiscriminate bombardment.

Arsenal's siege of Manchester City lasted for nearly 3o minutes, and in these 3o minutes, Manchester City almost didn't even have a chance to counterattack, and for the first time this season, Arsenal's attacking power can be said to be one of the best in the UK.

However, no matter how strong the attack is, it will not last the whole game, and Arsenal also need breathing time, they have slowed down the tempo, and Manchester City have begun to have opportunities to counter-attack. In the 31st minute, Tevez's right-footed volley from the right side of the box went just wide. In the 38th minute, Walcott crossed from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball hit Kompany's left arm and bounced off the bottom line, but the referee only sent a corner kick and refused to award a penalty. In the 39th minute, Van Persie's left-footed shot from the front of the penalty area was hit by Neuer. In the 44th minute, Tevez's cold shot went wide of the bottom line. In the first half of the game, Arsenal maintained an o-o draw with Manchester City while dominating the field and went into the half-time break.

Arsenal continued to dominate the game at the start of the second half, with Van Persie's two shots wide in the first 1o minutes. In the 61st minute, Van Persie tried again to shoot from distance, but the ball was blocked by Neuer. In the 64th minute, Manchester City took the lead in making substitutions, with Reus replacing the mediocre Modric, and a player like Reus would be more appropriate in such a counter-attack.

Arsene Wenger was not reconciled either, he replaced Theo Walcott with Arshavin in an attempt to use Arshavin's experience to make some changes, but he was not in good form.

As time went on, the Arsenal started to get impatient, they stopped looking for cumbersome combinations and wanted to rely on individual ability to open gaps, but this was not what they were good at, and the game looked lively but not as exciting as before.

In the 88th minute, Arsenal attacked, Sania took the ball and burst along the touchline, but was knocked away by Zabaleta and lost possession. The impatient Sania unceremoniously knocked Zabaleta down from behind. Both men were on fire, they didn't care about the ball, they leaned their heads on the cows, and began to greet each other's families, only to be ejected from the game when referee Mike Jones showed a red card.

The Arsenal man tried to argue something with the referee, but City passed the ball straight into the Arsenal half, and Reus used his skills to get past the last defence and into the Arsenal goal.

The Emirates Stadium was silent for a while, but soon erupted in huge boos, with fans believing that City's sneak attack was too immoral and unsportsmanlike. Li Chengfeng disagreed with the boos of these fans, they were too naïve, the professional game won or lost first, as for the rest, let's go to the back row.

Trailing Arsenal made a desperate last-ditch effort but could not change the result, as Robin van Persie's free-kick was cleared by Neuer in stoppage time to give City a 1-O win away at the mighty Arsenal.

There was too much luck in this game, as evidenced by Arsenal's three goalposts, but the persistence of the Manchester City players is the most important reason, and only persistence can lead to good results.

Manchester City's morale boost over Arsenal was a huge boost and they continued their efforts after a 4-2 win away at Leicester City in the FA Cup third round, beating Wolves 4-3 at home in a head-to-head match. The game is played a day before Manchester United's game, and a win for Manchester City would put them in top of the league.

This situation is very much expected for Manchester City, who are desperate to win this game, finish in the league table and even win the title at the end of the season.

Manchester City's important players Silva and Bale are still unable to play in this game, but fortunately, Zabaleta, who received a red card in the last round of the game, successfully appealed and did not need to be suspended, and the newly transferred Dzeko also got the opportunity to play in this game, which was also his first game at Manchester City.

Wolves are not a strong team, and this season in England is only struggling on the relegation line, they have adopted a pragmatic defensive counterattack tactics on the road, stationing troops in the midfield, and not allowing Manchester City to play a comfortable game. The two teams battled fiercely in midfield from the start, but the game was not exciting and there were not many threatening attacks.

In the fifth minute, Dzeko broke through and was bumped into by Hunt, Manchester City won a free-kick, and Tevez's furious shot hit the wall and went off the line. In the 6th minute, Doyle broke down the left and crossed, and Jarvis' shot from inside the box was blocked. In the 1o minute, Adam Johnson tried to link up with Dzeko to hit the wall, but the former's pass was broken in time by the opponent.

In the 12th minute of the game, Jarvis's cross from the right caused chaos in the Manchester City penalty area, Godin's clearance ball hit Kompany and failed to bounce far, Miligas's first shot was blocked by Neuer, but he reacted quickly in front of the goal to make a contribution to the first goal, and Wolves led 1-O.

There was some panic in the backs of Manchester City, who rushed to attack, but instead gave Wolves more chances to counter-attack. Two minutes later, Miligas headed in a cross from the right and Neuer confiscated the ball. In the 19th minute, Wolves attacked from the left and Jarvis' shot was blocked by Kolarov.

Li Chengfeng stood on the sidelines, pressed down with both hands, and calmed down the players, Manchester City's strength is far better than that of Wolves, as long as they play normally, a one-goal difference is nothing.

Calm down, Manchester City showed great quality as they overwhelmed Wolves and scored in quick succession. In the 27th minute, Tevez went straight to Adam Johnson to form a one-on-one shot, but unfortunately the latter was offside. Two minutes later, Tevez played a pass to Zabaleta in front of the goal, and the ball was slightly more powerful than the bottom line. In the 3o minute, Johnson burst into the box on the left and hit the goal directly from a small angle, and Hennessey struggled to save the ball. Two minutes later, Dzeko handed the ball to Tevez on the right, and the beast had a slight force to stop the ball and missed a good chance. In the 34th minute, Tevez made a cold shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball was slightly over the crossbar. In the 39th minute, Dzeko took advantage of a mistake by the opposing defender to shoot at goal, and the ball was blocked by the opponent.

City's persistent attack paid off, in the 4o minute, Adam Johnson took a corner kick, Kompany's header at the front point was rubbed back, Yaya Toure won the ball and adjusted slightly and then fired low from a tight angle, the opponent's three players and the goalkeeper failed to prevent the ball from going into the net, and Manchester City equalised.

Time was running out for the first half as Wolves stepped back to try to get into the break with a draw and a second half. They did, and in the 43rd minute, Kolarov's long-range shot was almost saved by the Wolves goalkeeper, and other than that, the two teams had no good chances and had to go into the break with a 1-1 draw.

At halftime, Lee Seung-peak did not make any tactical adjustments, and there was no need, he just asked for a period of time at the beginning of the second half to try to score. This is also the method commonly used by Li Chengfeng, although it is very old-fashioned, but it is very effective.

In the 48th minute, Tevez scored an extremely beautiful goal, he received the ball on the right side and entered the penalty area, got rid of the defense of Hunter, Vela and Stillman three Wolves players in a row, and calmly shot into the net in the face of the goalkeeper, 2:1!! Manchester City reversed the scoreline.

Two minutes later, Tevez burst again when he cut inside from the right and slotted into the far corner before sliding past goalkeepers. Tevez is still in good shape after the ban is lifted, but he is even more excited, perhaps this is also related to the fact that he took his wife and daughter to Manchester. A man who loves his family very much, Li Chengfeng doesn't know if it's good or bad. But whatever, as long as he performs well this season, as for the future, Tevez is still at Manchester City is two different things, and he wants to do so much.

In the 53rd minute, Dzeko broke through a Wolves player and cleverly distributed the ball to Yaya Toure, who easily pushed the ball into the net to give Manchester City a 3-1 lead.

Wolves, who were two goals down, were in disarray, and Manchester City gradually took control. In the 64th minute, Manchester City counterattacked, Dzeko kicked near the arc of the penalty area, and the ball hit the opponent and went out of the bottom line. Carlos Tevez scored twice a minute later when he headed home from Zabaleta's cross from the right to give City a 4-1 lead.

The big picture of the game has been decided, and the excitement of the ranking table has made Manchester City's players a little less focused. In the 67th minute, Lescott tripped Doyle in the penalty area, and the referee sentenced him to death, and Doyle made it 4-2 in one fell swoop.

The conceded goal did not make the Manchester City players nervous, in the 85th minute Wolves scored another goal, Bia took a corner kick, Zubar's header went straight to the goal, and Vidal, who was defending in front of the goal line, struggled to hook the ball out, but the referee on duty determined that the ball crossed the goal line as a whole, 3:4.

Wolves narrowed the gap to just one goal, and the situation on the field became tense again, Li Chengfeng also stood on the sidelines and loudly reminded the players on the field not to relax, and replaced Silva and Milner, hoping to disrupt the rhythm of the game and calm down the Manchester City players who were a little flustered on the field.

Lee's strategy succeeded, and the City players, who had regained their composure, were once again in control of the situation and patiently maneuvered with Wolves. Neither side had much chance in the rest of the game, and after five minutes of stoppage time, City narrowly beat Wolves 4-3 at home, three points clear of Manchester United with three games in hand, and temporarily moved into the table, throwing the pressure on Manchester United. Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur away tomorrow, which is also heroic, and Lee Seung-peak has high expectations for them.
