The Anelka brothers made the same judgment about the game, but the reality was very different from what they had imagined, and after Darren Bent came on, City were much calmer than they had just been, and they quickly used possession to stabilize the situation.

After Anelka's departure, there was no 'ticking time bomb' in the front court, and the team played according to tactics.

They kept passing and receiving the ball and played around David Silva as the core point.

Wan Sheng made it very clear before the game, the partnership of David Silva and Morris, Silva's position is premised, everyone understands what this means, that is, let Morris play the back, Silva plays the midfielder, that is to say, most of the attacks will be based on Silva, and he has also become the player who organizes the attack.

Before Darren Bent came on the field, Anelka was the most shining in the frontcourt, he had a lot of balls, his skills at his feet were dazzling, and he could attract a lot of attention, so that Silva and others who passed the ball to him became very inconspicuous, as if Anelka was the only one in the frontcourt.

Now it's different, without Anelka, Silva's role is highlighted.

To say that Anelka is on the field, there is still a lot of credit, in addition to that goal, he also helped Silva attract 'firepower', Silva started as a central midfielder, still a little nervous, but in the previous games, including Arsenal's defense, everyone was paying attention to Anelka, no one cared about his performance at all, and as time passed, Silva slowly adapted.

Now he is not a little nervous, and he feels that it is nothing to play the core, as long as he plays seriously, it is still very easy to qualify.

David Silva has a low opinion of himself, he is not only qualified, he has a lot of talent in passing, and in the Football Trainer system, the passing attribute rating is 93 points. Even surpassing Lee Morris, who can be systematically rated so highly by football training masters, his passing ability is naturally very good.

With Manchester City's front and back play normally, David Silva's role has also come to the fore, and he has won the ball more often, so his individual ability has also been much more dazzling.

At the same time, his outstanding passing ability is also highlighted.

Ten minutes after Darren Bent came on, David Silva made a brilliant through ball from the left corner of the box and flotted the ball into the right side of goal. It was a bit of a long shift, and the pass was fairly accurate, and Darren Bent cut in just enough to get into position and he found a good shot on goal.

Darren Bent held back his excitement and he grabbed Toure and gently stabbed the ball forward!

Football flies into the goal from Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann!

The entire Highbury Stadium was silent for a moment because of the goal, and then the commentator began to exclaim wildly, "Darren Bent! Darren Bent! ”

George Woodgate was surprised by the speed with which City equalised and was surprised that the equaliser was scored by Darren Bent. "The ball is in! Gooooooal！ ”

'He had only been on for ten minutes and he equalised for Manchester City!'

'His performance was amazing, no one noticed him before, but when the football came to goal. He just showed up and sent the ball into the net before Toure did! Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann has nothing to do about it! ”

However, the goal was more due to the passing David Silva, the Spanish youngster who joined Manchester City in the summer and has also started in previous games. But he was always a wing-back and he switched to central midfield in this game and we could see it on the pitch. He's a little bit higher up than Morris, which shows how much Wansheng values him, and now it looks like he's not disappointing, and that assist says a lot......"

After the goal, Darren Bent pounced directly on David Silva to thank him for the brilliant assist he had given him.

Both hugged each other excitedly.

Wan Sheng also walked to the sidelines to watch the scene, and then clapped his hands a few times, and the camera caught him with a smile on his face.

'It seems that Wansheng is happy with the performances of Silva and Darren Bent. George Woodgate commented:

Meanwhile, the Manchester City bench was celebrating, and everyone cheered.

Perhaps, the only one with a bad face is Anelka, just now he was thinking that after he got off the field, the team must have no chance, and in less than ten minutes, the team completed the equalizing goal, especially the goal is still Darren Bent, who replaced him, doesn't this mean that this kid in the second league is enough to replace himself when he gets to the game?

……

Regardless of Anelka's thoughts, Wan Sheng was actually not surprised by the goal.

The biggest contributor to this goal was David Silva, but in reality, the biggest reason should be down to tactics.

The whole process of scoring the goal, almost according to the tactical format, at least before David Silva completed a wonderful pass, the football is passing according to the tactical routine, and then David Silva runs out of the open space according to the tactical routine, he gets a chance in the corner of the penalty area, this position is not very good, but it is quite good to be able to pass and run, and it is quite good to find opportunities in this position, it is precisely because of a good position, and no one can defend in the first place, David Silva can pass a wonderful through ball, Darren Bent had to get a great shot on goal.

Of course, on the playing field, tactics still have to be played by the players, otherwise the best tactics are on paper, so David Silva and Darren Bent are still the biggest contributors.

Wan Sheng was not surprised by the goal, but was also pleased with the performance of the two.

The ability of the two, especially Darren Bent's ability, is also the reason why he did not hesitate to replace Anelka, with the support of tactics and teammates, as long as the strength of the striker keeps up, he will always get a good opportunity, Anelka is more capable, but he does not perform well, it will drag down the whole team, Darren Bent is worse than Anelka, but when it comes to the game, the performance is not necessarily much worse, if it is not for Darren Bent's experience in the top league is too little, it is not easy for Anelka to occupy the absolute main position.

At the same time, many commentators also praised the previous substitutions because of the goal.

'It was a goal that proved Wansheng's substitution was the right one, and after Darren Bent came on, City were a lot calmer, their attack became smoother, they also withstood Arsenal's press, and now they have scored again. Tied the score, it seems that Anelka should take a good look at the bench again, how Darren Bent played the game......"

Anelka was indeed watching from the bench, but he was not thinking about how Darren Bent would play, but about the fact that even if this 'second league kid' scored, he would be far from his own, because he also scored, and that goal was scored by his own ability.

What about this goal just now?

It was David Silva's pass!

This 'second-tier league kid' is almost equivalent to pushing an empty goal, and there is no technical content at all!

"What's the big deal?"

A wave of disdain crept up Anelka's cheeks.

When the rest of his teammates rushed out of the bench to celebrate, he remained there. The face is not very good-looking, as if it is the opponent who scored the goal.

……

Anelka's older brother, Claude, was still talking to Eric Manasser in the box about his brother's excellence.

"That kid's name is Darren Bent? How could he have replaced Nikolai! ”

He said dismissively.

But the next moment, he saw Darren Bent running to the goal and kicking the ball into the goal, and he immediately became a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Eric Manasseur frowned and glanced at Claude.

He felt a little funny, but he couldn't.

He has been partnered with Claude for a long time, and Claude is also capable, the only drawback is that he likes money too much. He also 'trusts' his brother too much, and that trust reaches an unbelievable level, and it can even be said that he believes that his brother is the top star in history. This is not an exaggeration.

So it wasn't surprising to hear Claude sarcastically taunt Darren Bent and tout his brother.

Now seeing Darren Bent score, he senses a bit of a crisis.

Before, he felt that Claude's proposal could be considered. As long as Anelka is good enough, Manchester City will definitely take him very seriously, and when the time comes, they will just talk about him. Manchester City will certainly agree to the demand for a raise.

But as things stand, Anelka doesn't seem to be the only option up front, with Darren Bent not performing much worse than him, and it will be difficult to get a raise.

……

After Darren Bent equalised, Manchester City's morale was boosted and they got better and better the more they played, while Arsenal were disrupted by the goal.

They thought they were in control, but they were soon equalised.

It's not what you think.

Now that they can't play on the field, they are a little anxious, so that they have a bit of a problem with the connection between the front and back, and after the game resumes, Manchester City has the upper hand for a while.

After several waves of attack and defense, Arsenal gave people a feeling of exhaustion.

The Arsenal fans, who had been shouting to cheer for the team, were a little silent and began to worry about the situation on the pitch, while the few Manchester City fans were in high spirits, shouting at the throat to cheer for the players on the pitch.

But for a long time, the score on the pitch did not change, Arsenal were at a disadvantage, but their defense was still tight, and it was not easy for Manchester City to find opportunities.

At this moment, the narrator suddenly exclaimed, "Cross!" ”

The sudden shout was heart-wrenching, and looking at the TV screen, the football had already flown into the air and landed on the left side of the goal, and a white figure suddenly appeared in the penalty area, he jumped high and pushed the ball into the goal with his head.

"Ball...... Entered! The ball is in! ”

It wasn't until then that the commentator's second voice came out, and on closer inspection, he recognized that it was Darren Bent, who had just completed the goal, and that the long-range pass just now was from the feet of midfielder Morris.

“Goooooooooooooooooal！！！”

"It's Darren Bent again!"

"A brace! He scored his second goal after coming on as a substitute! In the last minute, he helped Manchester City to overtake the score! Did he want City to walk away with victory at Highbury? ”

"Let's look at the slow-motion ......"

"It's Maurice! He made a great long pass in the middle line! This pass was very accurate, directly in front of the goal, Darren Bent was very timely, it is hard to imagine that the two are so tacit, Arsenal was completely caught off guard! ”

"3:2, Manchester City overtook the score!"

'There's not much time left for the game now, Arsenal are a bit dangerous......

Amid the shouts of the commentators, all Manchester City people shared the joy of scoring the goal.

On the playing field, Darren Bent also ran wildly around the field, he hugged people when he saw them, and finally fell directly to his knees on the grass, slamming his fists on the turf.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, also stomped his feet hard, swung his fist hard, and yelled at Darren Bent, "it...... Pretty! ”

He thought it would be good to equalise, but he didn't expect Darren Bent to score the second goal!

It was a bit unexpected, but it was a bonus!

At this point in the game, it is easy to equate the score from winning to win, and if they can beat Arsenal in this game, the team's competition in the league will become very favorable, and they will pull down Arsenal and Manchester United in the standings, and secure the second place in the league, and the next rival, there will only be one Chelsea.

Points may not be the most important thing.

This game saw that David Silva and Darren Bent have made great progress, and they have gained valuable experience in the game, which may help them to develop quickly, and as long as these two talents develop, the team's forward line and midfield will become very strong, which is the most important thing.

……

In the end, thanks to two goals from Darren Bent, Manchester City won 3-2 at Highbury Stadium to win another league game and pick up a very valuable three points.

In the post-match press conference, Wan Sheng did not respond to the questions raised by reporters about Anelka, only praised Morris and Darren Bent, and specifically mentioned the final goal, "Lee is a very good player, I always admire him, he is an all-round midfielder, I need him to play in the back to strengthen the defense in this game, but he can still play a key role in the attack!" ”

'It was a brilliant pass, something you didn't have in tactics and he did it. But I'm not surprised, because he always plays a key role in the game. ”

He then spoke of Darren Bent, "He's scored two goals, he's done a beautiful job, he's scored five goals in the league. You think he's in good shape, but I think it's going to be normal for him in the future. ”

'It's because he's so good that I brought him to the team.'

After praising the performance of the players, Wan Sheng finally mentioned the result of the game, and said, "This is a very crucial victory, a crucial three points!" ”

"I don't want to say anything more until I get those three points, but now, I dare say we're qualified enough to be in contention!"

"Yes, I'm sure!" (To be continued......)
