46. Shut up!
"Wilshere takes a free-kick."
"Manchester City cleared."
"The ball lands, Wal's feet!"
"Wall shoots from distance!"
"Hit on the beam...... Scored! ”
"It was Arsenal who opened the scoring!"
Martin Taylor's deep commentary, with Tan Xibi's goal, the guests around him, like the fans in the stands, paused for a moment before they reacted as they should be.
The City fans continued to boo and curse, and they seemed to hate Tan Xibi, especially since he also scored.
The Arsenal fans in the stands sang and danced, and the joy was like the New Year.
But soon, the boiling stadium seemed to be broken by cold water, and it fell silent again.
Because Tan Xibi ran to the sideline, in four directions, raised his hand and made a gesture of sliding from left to right on his mouth.
Instead of sticking out your index finger and putting it on your lips, this action is like zipping your mouth.
After making this move in each direction, Tan Xibi ran back to the court with a smile on his face.
Manchester City fans were stunned.
Arsenal fans were stunned.
Josep Guardiola was stunned.
Arsène Wenger was stunned.
Sky Sports' commentators and guests were stunned.
The spectators watching the game were stunned.
The players on both sides of the field were stunned.
The players and staff on both sides of the bench were stunned.
Referee Michael Oliver and the two linesmen were stunned.
The fourth official was stunned.
They didn't expect that this young Chinese would actually make a provocative move to shut up the fans in full view of everyone.
Although Manchester City fans provoked Tan Xibi first, in any case, they should not behave inappropriately in the game.
Isn't this an unsolicited request?
If it's serious, you're going to be sent off.
Soon, the stadium erupted in overwhelming scolding, and some excited Manchester City fans were eager to run into the stadium and fight with Tan Xibi.
"Wall, you're so uncool." Laurent Koscielny said to Tan Xibi with a frown.
"It's really a crowd, so I almost ran in and beat people." Alex Iwobi stuck out his tongue, it was a good thing that he was leading in the goal, but Tan Xibi came here, so scared.
Oliver walked over with an ugly look on his face and called Koscielny and Tan Xibi to him.
"Arsenal's captain, take care of your players, if it weren't for the orders from above, and not long after the game started, in order to ensure the integrity of the game, I will be lightly dismissed this time."
Koscielny wiped his sweat: "Thank you Mr. Referee for his magnanimity, I will definitely teach him a good lesson." ”
Oliver looked at Tan Xibi again, this troublesome guy, if it weren't for the reminder of the fourth official, for the sake of the Chinese market and ratings, the yellow card would have been thrown to him a long time ago.
"A serious warning to you, number 28, don't provoke the fans, of course, no one can provoke. Play hard, they scold you for their business, and you have nothing to lose. Don't do that next time, you don't want one less person on your team. Oliver felt a little headache, a special player like Tan Xibi couldn't beat or scold, so he could only hope that he could forgive himself and not put too much pressure on himself.
Tan Xibi smiled and nodded, he knew that he was lucky not to get the card this time, but he said that he was not usually like this.
Believe it or not, look at his record in Portugal, how many yellow cards are there? I don't have any red cards.
Seeing that Tan Xibi didn't get the card, Wenger breathed a sigh of relief, what is this kid doing, it's really scary.
If you get the card now, there will be pressure on the defense, because if there is another card, you will have to play, in this case, how can you let go of your hands and feet to play?
Of course, for Tan Xibi, a heartless person, even if he has a card, he has to play how to play, and Tan Xibi is not the kind of defender who defends fiercely, he is a person who regards defense as art.
Trailing in less than 5 minutes at the beginning, this is the first time this season, but Guardiola is not panicking, firstly, the game is still long, and secondly, Arsenal has only one Tan Xibi, no matter how strong he is, it is impossible to cover the entire stadium, as long as the offensive route bypasses him, he can still defeat the opponent.
Chelsea and Liverpool are both his losers, not to mention Arsenal, who have the worst away results in the BIG6.
"David! David! Guardiola shouted at David Silva.
Silva looked over, saw Pep Guardiola's gesture, nodded, and then ran to a few of his teammates to convey the manager's impromptu instructions.
After the restart, Manchester City counterattacked, and the leading Arsenal was not conservative, but pressed hard with the opponent on all fronts, both sides were teams that were good at passing and controlling, and the game looked good all of a sudden.
In the 6th minute, Manchester City counter-attacked, De Bruyne ran straight to the left, and the forward left-back Fabian Delph crossed the ball low, Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech could not block the cross, and Raheem Sterling, who was outflanked forward, failed to grab the point under the pressure of Nacho Monreal, and fell headlong in the goal.
"It's really dangerous, if Sterling's goal touches, it's an empty goal." Taylor lamented.
In the 9th minute, Héctor Bellerin drove straight into the side with the ball, and suddenly crossed in front of the baseline, Alexandre Lacazette grabbed the point and was pushed out by Nicolas Otamendi, and Fernandinho grabbed the ball before Aaron Ramsey cleared the ball.
In the 11th minute, Silva avoided Tan Xibi in the middle and passed the ball to Walker on the right, Walker and De Bruyne crossed a low cross from the sideline of the penalty area after a two-by-two, and Sergio Aguero's shot was saved by Cech.
In the 13th minute, De Bruyne made a long pass to the left in the backfield, and Leroy Sane broke through Koscielny's defense after winning the ball, and was shoveled out of the bottom line by Tan Xibi.
Aguero raised his hand to signal Tan Xibi to foul Sane, Oliver, who was not blind at this moment, ignored him, he saw clearly that Tan Xibi was shoveling the ball, and Sane was just out of balance.
"Boss, they were deliberately circumventing Wall's defensive zone." Steve Boulder said to Arsene Wenger.
Manchester City's wave after wave of attacks, watching the guns fans were terrified, especially in the 11th minute, Aguero's point-grabbing close shot, if it weren't for Cech's brave play, it would have been equalized.
I have to admit that most of Manchester City's overall strength and individual player strength are above Arsenal. Due to the change to 433, Arsenal is obviously rusty in the coordination of attack and defense, and it is obvious that they are still running in this new formation.
With Tan Xibi sitting in the backfield, and allowing Manchester City to play so many threatening offensives, it is obvious that Guardiola's temporary adjustment just now is aimed at Tan Xibi's defensive area outside the area, even if Tan Xibi runs to the side to assist, but Manchester City, with his skillful foot skills, quickly shifted the direction of attack, making Tan Xibi take care of the other.
As Pep Guardiola said, Arsenal have only one Tan Xibi and it is impossible for him to cover all the defensive areas alone.
