City's counter-attack came so swiftly and ferociously.

In fact, Manchester City this season is no longer the weak team that let the giants fish and meat, after they changed the big boss, they have hired a lot of strong players, just from Arsenal poached Colo, Toure, Adebayo and Nasri three generals, plus Barry from Liverpool, Tevez from Manchester United, and the former bicycle boy Robinho, goalkeeper new signing Taylor, etc., Manchester City has enough confidence to compete with the "Big Four".

What they lack now is only a long-term accumulation of strong self-confidence and the belief to fight for common honor.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, it can't be said that Manchester City played badly, only that Arsenal played too well, no one expected that after the temporary change of formation in the first game at the beginning of the season, Arsenal's players suddenly seemed to be resurrected in the new formation, they relied on this set of 451, which is not uncommon in the Premier League this season, and played all kinds of heroes to be frightened, and set a big score one after another, and many people were inexplicably surprised.

And Manchester City's players are clearly one of them.

In the Manchester City team, there are now three players who have come out of Arsenal, and it stands to reason that they should be very familiar with Arsenal, but at the beginning of this game, the three former Arsenal players in the Manchester City team, Kolo. Toure, Bam Adebayo and Nasri all agree that Arsenal has changed too much.

The first is their midfield routine, with Arsenal in the past being good at playing 442, especially on the two wings. Whether it's the Pire and Ljungberg eras, or the Walcott and Nasri eras, Arsenal's wide attacks have been much more extensive than in the middle, and most of the goals they have scored have come from wide crosses. However, at the beginning of the game, Arsenal's three forward midfielders frequently attacked the middle, and there was a momentum of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, although Manchester City learned the bitter lesson of their city neighbor Manchester United, and deployed heavy troops in the middle, and new signings Barry and De Jong were placed in the middle at the same time, but they still could not resist Arsenal's desperate strong burst. In the first thirty minutes. City's midfield was almost shattered, with the two midfielders unable to organise an effective defence and even finding it difficult to get the ball forward.

The other difference is in Arsenal's defence. In the impression of Nasri and others, Arsenal's front-court players are never involved in defending. At least in the time of Adebayo, Toure and others. Arsenal relied on Thierry Henry in attack and defenders in defence. It's almost a foregone conclusion, but it's no longer the case, and Arsenal are now all about attacking and defending. When attacking, not only the front midfield is frequently inserted into the position, even the back and back guard are not left behind, sprinting back and forth, and when defending, they are all soldiers, Arshavin and Walcourt and others can even chase back from the front line to the vicinity of the penalty area for a tackle, forming a three-dimensional protective net on the entire field.

Of course, there is still a certain gap between Arsenal's skirmish-like defense and Barcelona's organized and disciplined national defense, but for Manchester City, which is more loosely formed, this is simply an insurmountable gap, and they were stunned to find that not only could not organize an attack in the middle, but even tried to go on the side It became extremely difficult. Song and Denilson, covering a wide range of areas, plus two defenders with good speed and even better Klicy and Sagna, Manchester City had almost no chances at all in the early days.

But is such an Arsenal invincible?

Of course not.

Arsenal also have a problem, and that is their strategy of attacking the middle, which at times looks sharp but can become a nuisance when opponents find a way to target it.

Where do the hidden dangers come from? Of course, it comes from two wings.

Some people may wonder, didn't you still say that Arsenal's two wing "waists" are active in defense and difficult to penetrate, why did you suddenly change your words now?

Yes, in fact, the two statements are not contradictory, because the previous statement that Manchester City could not get better chances on the wings is actually referring to Manchester City's two wing-backs, namely Robinho on the right and Nasri on the left. These two players are not the kind of people with unlimited physical strength and huge coverage, they are good at breaking and dribbling, but they are not good at defending, so when Arsenal attack, their role in the defensive end is almost none, resulting in Arsenal's two wing-back lines Walcott and Arshavin are like fish in water, and frequently get opportunities to cut inside; On the offensive end, the two Arsenal full-backs will actively return to defend and assist Sagna and Clichy to defend them, so they will feel powerless in attack and defenseless.

However, in modern football, the attack on the wing is not just based on two wing-backs, let's not forget that Manchester City also have two full-backs, Richards and Onooha.

Arsenal's current attacking style is to concentrate on attacking the middle, and this brute force method has caught Everton and Manchester United off guard, and the two teams have been fed 13 goals by Arsenal combined, so it can be said that they were caught off guard by Arsenal's brutal and simple style of play.

However, after four league games, Arsenal's style of play has been first glimpsed by their opponents, especially their complete abandonment of the tactic of two wings and bottoms, which has been remembered by many people who are interested, among these people, Mancini is one of them.

Although there are many people who say that Mancini is a "big winner in life", and winning the championship depends on luck, but we cannot deny that Mancini, who was very brainy when he was a player, is by no means as useless as everyone thinks, although he won the championship easily at Inter, but he is also a coach from Italy, and he must have his own set of methods for tactics, how to use two vacant fullbacks, this is the biggest variable in Mancini's game.

For this reason, Mancini even moved the starting right-back De Jong to the midfield, and formed an impregnable midfield with new signing Barry, thus putting the more assist-capable defender Richards in the starting lineup. On the left side, he gave up the veteran Zabaleta and used Onooha, whose defensive ability was almost reduced to scum, in order to take advantage of the strong attacking desire of the two of them to make a fuss on Arsenal's two wings.

Although Nasri and Robinho were held back by Arsenal to open the way for City on either flank, they nevertheless attracted most of Arsenal's attention on both flanks, and after lurking for most of the midfield, Richards and Onooha finally showed their fangs.

City's first goal came on the right flank, with Robinho bursting down the flank. Song and Clichy teamed up to clamp down just when everyone thought he was going to pass the ball back to the middle. A sky-blue figure suddenly swept past Robinho's side. Then the ball was deflected away from his feet and he broke past the unprepared Clich.

The player who broke through the flanks was none other than Richards, a young full-back from Birmingham who joined Manchester City's youth team in 2001. Descently. He can be said to be the product of the blue moon with red roots.

Richards is extremely capable defensively. He is at least in the top five at right-back in the Premier League, and even more commendable is that he has great speed, after two or three years at Manchester City. His assist ability has also been discovered, and even if Manchester City later brought in more big-name stars to form a formidable "oil army", Richards is still the team's main right-back candidate, neither Mills nor Boateng can shake his starting position.

At this time, Richards has been playing for Manchester City for three seasons, this season is his fourth Premier League season, although he is still young, but the experience is quite old, when Robinho's surprise is blocked, he has already quietly ambushed behind him, waiting for the attention of the two Arsenal defenders to be drawn away by Robinho, and then smashed out from behind to break through the Arsenal defence.

At this time, there was obviously a certain degree of confusion in the Arsenal defense, and Vermaelen, who was originally dragging behind, was ready to rush up to fill the position, but looked at Silvestri next to him, he hesitated or chose to stand on the spot, because the veteran Gala was resting in this game, and Vermaelen's partner in the central defender was replaced by a frizzy Silvestri, Vermaelen was worried that Silvestri's head would suddenly pump again after his attack, which would lead to problems in the back, so he decided to brake statically and not pounce for the time being.

However, his decision ultimately came to Arsenal, and although Richards was not good at shooting from distance, he was now on the ground with time to gallop straight to the bottom line, and by the time Vermaelen saw his intentions and was ready to rush up to block his pass, he was already comfortable with a good ball from the baseline.

What Vermaelen feared finally came to pass, when Silvestri missed Bam Adebayor, whom he had been marking, and the Togolese rushed in front of goal to blast a header high into the net, which Almunia witnessed almost without reacting.

The goal sent the Blue Moon fans on the sidelines, who were still sweating on the sidelines, singing and dancing and cheering wildly to celebrate the wonderful goal, although the team was still one goal behind, but they had seen hope in the attack.

Sure enough, if the goal was just a wake-up call for Arsenal, four minutes later, Manchester City's left flank blossomed again, and Onooha's assist for Tevez's goal completely activated the atmosphere of the city stadium, and the noise almost pierced the sky overhead with a big hole.

This time the attacking problem was with Arsenal's right midfielder Theo Walcott.

Like Richards' assist, Onuoha's attack was also a chance created after Nasri attracted the attention of Denelson and Sania, but this time it was different, this time Walket specifically thought of the full-back's assist, so when Onuoha stepped in strongly, Walcott also started almost at the same time, rushing out almost side-by-side.

Just as Walcott rushed out, everyone thought that there was no suspense in the attack, because Walcott's defense was not very strong, but his speed was recognized by the whole world, and people almost regarded him as the fastest man on the football field today, and Onooha actually tried to race with him on the wing. Isn't that self-inflicted?

And then the outcome of the matter shattered the glasses of the ground, and in the high-speed drag race with Walcott, Onu Oha, this previously unknown guy, actually won the final victory!

Onooha, born 12 November 1986 in Warri, Nigeria, officially joined Manchester City in 2004 and has since been up and down between the development and first teams, rarely playing as a starter, playing just 64 games and scoring one goal for City in four seasons. Most of these games are played at inconsequential times such as the Carabao Cup or FA Cup. As a full-back, he was miserable defensively, but he had a hand in assisting, once scoring a hat-trick against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

If you're going to search for this guy's information. That's probably all you can find. No further information could be obtained from him.

But actually. In City's internal files, there is also a report on Onooha's physical tests, in which it is. For his 100-meter speed, the number is 10.7 seconds.

Yes, Walcott, who is known by everyone as the 100m flyer on the football field, has a stat of 10.5 seconds on Arsenal's intra-team 100m test report.

That is, this is a Nigerian whose speed of 100 meters is hardly inferior to Walcott!

If this alone explains why Onuoha defeated Walcott in the 100-meter speed competition, it is obviously biased, in fact, this is also related to the current physical state of the two, Walcoat has been running up and down for the first 30 minutes, sprinting frequently, his physical fitness has obviously declined, and Onuoha has been recuperating before, so he has taken a big advantage in terms of physical fitness.

This was the main reason why Walcoat was defeated.

But even so, Onooha pulled away Walcott, who is known for his speed, in the 100-meter sprint, which still greatly stimulated millions of viewers on the scene and in front of the TV, and no one could have imagined that a guy who had never been prominent in Manchester City could defeat Walcoat in his most proud area without any suspense!

Where did this guy come from?

Not to mention many viewers in front of the TV, I am afraid that even many Manchester City fans on the scene do not understand too much, as a player who is more involved in games such as the FA Cup or League Cup, Onooha obviously cannot attract as much attention in the team as "his own people" such as Richards, especially his defense in the reception of Manchester City legend Rodney. After the bad comments of Marsh and others, many people have already regarded him as a garbage that is about to be swept out of the house, and they ignore him even more.

But there is a good saying, often in the deep mountains no one asks, once famous all over the world, just after this short sprint of dozens of meters, Onooha suddenly became the focus of attention of the world's media, this guy who can beat Walcoat in 100 meters, how fast can he run?

When such doubts were still circling in everyone's minds, the situation on the field had been fundamentally reversed, and Manchester City scored two goals in just 5 minutes, instantly pulling the score back to the same running line!

Because of these two goals, Mancini, who was about to commit suicide by seppuku every minute, suddenly came to life, he excitedly rushed to the sideline and waved his fist high, as if this was not enough, and turned back to the Manchester City fans in the audience to incite, and under his gesture as if he was directing a symphony, the Manchester City fans sang their team anthem, "BlueMoon".

This is a lyrical song that is completely different from the passionate atmosphere of Manchester United, Milan and other teams, but under the unison interpretation of more than 60,000 Manchester City fans at the scene, it exudes an unexpected pathos and majesty. ”

Yes, Manchester City fans have long called this game "City Stadium Defense", in the season Arsenal started almost crazy strong, no one can think that the nouveau riche Manchester City is enough to withstand the gunners' firepower, just 5 minutes ago, even Manchester City fans themselves thought that the team was dead, but there is no end to the road, Manchester City players miraculously equalized in just a few minutes, so next, can they have more to look forward to?

Unlike the resurrection seen by Manchester City fans, more Premier League coaches on TV at this time are seeing another question that makes them even more ecstatic: Arsenal's attack is not unsolvable, and they are quite flawed!

Magical Mancini, great Mancini! At this moment, I don't know how many Premier League coaches who were originally worried silently thanked Mancini in their hearts, if it weren't for his tactics on both wings, I'm afraid many people would not be able to see through Arsenal's paper tiger face, yes, the tragedy at Old Trafford has made many coaches feel weak before they met Arsenal, they have almost decided that Arsenal this season is invincible, but the stunned Mancini, forced to tell them with such a half-time reversal, Beneath Arsenal's formidable surface, there are also huge holes.

So the next time we meet Arsenal, wouldn't we be able to give them a bite to do?

And as the score on the field was quickly reversed, Wenger on the sidelines quickly frowned, Arsenal's 451 has such a huge hole, didn't Wenger know before? That is of course impossible, and as an experienced coach who has been in the game for two or three decades, how could Arsene Wenger not know the strengths and weaknesses of his team?

But before this, Wenger still had a certain amount of luck, he originally thought that Arsenal's problems would be seen by the managers of other teams for at least a while, but he didn't expect that it was this Mancini from Italy, who he was not very familiar with, who actually saw through Arsenal's details so quickly, and hit Arsenal's soft underbelly in one fell swoop through the strong assists of two full-backs, causing the team's problems to be exposed to the public so quickly.

It seems that I always thought that this guy was a lucky wild road leader, but he was still too light on the enemy!

Wenger turned his head and glanced at the bench on the sidelines, his mood instantly stabilized again, hum, do you think that Saint Seiya only has such a move as Pegasus Meteor Fist? (To be continued......)

PS: There's another chapter.,Don't worry.,I'm afraid I'm afraid there's only time to code words at night in the past two days.,I'm really sorry.。
