Chapter 565: The perfect debut of a talented midfielder
"After a long wait, and this summer's football feast, our new league season is finally about to begin. It's now this season's pre-season Community Shield fixture, which features last season's Premier League champions Manchester City against FA Cup winners Arsenal. This is the opening drama of the Premier League before the start of each season, and it is also the first title of the new season," said BBC commentator Mattelson Mortensen, who gave fans an official introduction to the history and backing of the competition. Scenery.
The England Community Shield is a charity event that takes place at the famous Wembley Stadium and all proceeds from the tournament will be donated to charity.
After the necessary ceremonies and warm-ups, the match between the two teams officially began.
"The referee on duty, Clattenburg, blew the whistle to start the game, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides. Manchester City's goalkeeper is England international Joe Hart, and although Hart's watch was criticized last season, it is still indispensable for Manchester City now. Manchester City have been rumoured to want to buy Chelsea veteran Petr Cech to put pressure on Joe Hart, but the Czech international, who is destined to have no main place at Chelsea, is still very popular with the Premier League giants, at least Arsenal have expressed interest in him, but it is clear that Chelsea are reluctant to sell Cech to their rivals to strengthen their opponents. ”
'In central defence, the Belgian backbone of the defence and Manchester City's captain Vincent Kompany deserved to take a starting line-up. The other starting centre-back was Argentine veteran Demichelis, and it was clear that Manchester City had forgotten the pain from the scar. In last season's league game, Arsenal's shocking comeback at the Etihad, did Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini forget about it? ”
"At full-back, Kolarov had a good appearance, getting a starting position at left wing-back. On the other side, of course, Argentina's core full-back Zapaleta, and everyone wants to see Sagna's big drama against his old club seems to be in vain, once Zapaleta is in the starting lineup, it is unlikely to be replaced. ”
'In midfield, City formed a strong three-legged combination of steel midfield, with Fernando in the midfield position, and it seemed that he was dedicated to defending this game. Fernandinho, who also has a black Brazilian name and bears a slight resemblance to Fernando, appeared in central midfield, alongside Yaya Toure, the commander of the Ivory Coast Elephants in Manchester City's midfield. With this powerful midfield combination, is Pellegrini trying to crush Arsenal's attacking line with muscular steel? ”
In front of the muscle trio is Spain's speed winger Keylor Navas, and on the other side is the Spanish team's central midfielder, David Silva. From this arrangement, it can be seen that Manchester City has some taste of defensive counterattacks. ”
"The striker who broke forward is naturally Argentine Aguero, although he was injured when he played for Argentina in the World Cup, but after most of Manchester City's adjustment, the problem of wanting to come to Aguero is not very big."
Zhan Jun analyzed the tactics for everyone and said: "The strongest thing about Manchester City is their midfield combination, the combination of these three has a strong defensive interception ability, the key is that they are still muscular, and their bodies are very good, which is not good news for Ozil and Li Zihan, who are not good at physical confrontation." Then, taking advantage of a midfielder interception, Keylor Navas launched a quick counter-attack and handed the ball to Sergio Aguero and David Silva after drawing the attention of the Arsenal defence on the wing. This should be the tactical arrangement of Manchester City's game. ”
Immediately after Zhan Jun said: "But Arsenal's squad is not weak now, the goalkeeper is Szczesny, the central defender is the tall German iron defender Merdessat partnering with his German national team teammate, and the former captain of Schalke 04 Hevedes, the two German tank-like cooperation and tacit understanding of the central defender combination is even more difficult for Manchester City." ”
"Perhaps the Blues should focus on Arsenal's wings, as Gibbs has been able to secure his place in the main position after two seasons of experience. But it's hard to say about Chambers on the right, considering he has just joined Arsenal and is still a young player under 20 years old, he may be able to be a point of attack for Manchester City. ”
But in terms of midfield, Arsenal is not inferior to Manchester City, and it is the German iron waist Lars Bender who plays the role of intercepting and defending the back, Lars Bender can be described as the anchor of Leverkusen's backfield, and there are many giants who looked at him at first, but in the end he chose to join the new European champions. The mature German midfielder, who has both technical and physical advantages, will form an iron wall of insight in front of Manchester City. ”
Ahead of Lars Bender, the talented French midfielder has just moved to Arsenal from Juventus to Paul Pogba, who was partnered by Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal's midfield blender last season. These three can be said to be the best midfielders of the younger generation, but now they are concentrated in Arsenal, which is not inferior to Manchester City's three midfield meat grinders! ”
"Up front, Arsenal's tactics this time were more unexpected. Arsenal used a strikerless formation for this game, and after missing the big centre-forward Olivier Giroud, Wenger did not have a good replacement in this position, so he simply used a strikerless formation. ”
The wingers on the left and right are Li Zihan and Alexis Sanchez, and in the middle is the talented German midfielder Mesut Ozil. This powerful front trident is a test for Manchester City, although it is said that there is no forward formation, but when it is really played, it is very likely that Li Zihan and Sanchez will appear in the forward position after their respective rotations"
Zhan Jun spent three minutes analysing the strengths and weaknesses of both teams, with a particular emphasis on the most varied midfield positions for both teams. Among them, Manchester City's midfield is likely to restrain Arsenal's attacking combination, because in Arsenal's front-court trident combination, only Sanchez's body is excellent, and Li Zihan and Ozil's bodies belong to the kind that are pushed by the opponent.
Five minutes into the game, the shape on the field was relatively boring, and both sides were tentative.
After ten minutes of waiting for the fans, the game finally started to get high. Tide.
Sanchez used his body on the right to cut a space from Yaya Toure and Fernandinho before sweeping the ball past Mesut Ozil in the middle of the box.
Mesut Ozil took the ball and made a feint to cut into the box, but handed the ball to Li Zihan, who cut in on the left.
Li Zihan broke through with the ball and shook off Zapaleta's defense, and then got up to hit the goal.
Kompany left to block Lee's shot, and Joe Hart was on the lines to keep up the line.
But Li Zihan didn't shoot himself, but passed the ball back to the edge of the penalty area.
It was Mesut Ozil who was in that position, but the German midfielder did not pick up the ball. He picked up his foot and tried to hit the goal, but his fallen foot didn't hit the ball! The sole of his left foot slid over the ball, not touching it.
"Kicked?" That's what everyone thinks.
Soon a figure followed, facing the ball that slid towards the goal.
It's a bit of a distance, so the Arsenal players who shoot are powerful. This time the shot was very sudden, and City's defence was not prepared at all. Players, including Demichelis and Joe Hart, watched the ball fly but did not make a move.
Eventually, to everyone's stunned gaze, the ball flew into the goal behind Joe Hart like an anti-aircraft cannonball.
"The ball went to !!!"
"World-wave!! Absolute World Wave !! ”
"It was boring in the first 10 minutes of the game, both sides were probing. But ten minutes later, the ball went in so unexpectedly, oh my God. Let's take a look at who scored this shocking long-range shot Arsenal's No. 8 Arg, Pogba? Paul Pogba!! ”
The previous Arsenal No. 8 shirt belonged to Arteta, the former captain of Arsenal and a veteran midfielder from Spain. So Motensen thought it was Arteta's goal just by looking at the numbers on the back of the shirt, but only reacted after seeing that the number eight was not white-skinned.
'It was an absolutely perfect debut for Paul Pogba, who opened the scoring just ten minutes into the game. It seems that he is very comfortable with the rhythm and style of play of the Premier League, but also, he is a product of Manchester United's academy!! ”
"Pogba!! He has only been with the team for half a month, but he doesn't feel it at all on the pitch. It's like he's always been at Arsenal, he's always been part of Arsenal's midfield! Just look at the goal, Sanchez's dribbling break caught the attention of the City defenders. Then Ozil deserved to go to Li Zihan, but at this time, Li Zihan did not cut into the ribs of the penalty area and hit the goal by himself. In the face of Kompany's defence, he did not try, but crossed directly into the middle of the box. ”
"Mesut Ozil is the most crucial in this position, and he deliberately does not catch the ball like a genius. Watching his movements, everyone thought he would choose to shoot from distance, and I think the Argentine veteran Demichelis in front of him knew it well. But the German midfielder leaked the ball in a flash, and the clever Pogba inserted it and showed his special move - heavy artillery bombardment!! ”
"It's been less than half a month since I joined the team, and I can integrate into Arsenal's tactical system like this. I have to say that Pogba is really a genius, he adapts to Arsenal faster than his friend Li Zihan!! ”
"For Pogba's goal, I want to watch the Serie A match and Juventus and Pogba himself as a fan of no strangers. Because when he was at Juventus, he didn't miss a leaky shot like this from midfield master Andrea Pirlo! ”
Pogba announced his savings with a wonderful long-range shot, and also said that Arsenal spent no money on his transfer fee!
