Chapter 29: Revenge
Xiao Qing is very unhappy, because he seems to be a bird, and it seems that many people are paying attention to him and even targeting him; But Xiao Qing doesn't care about this, he has that awareness, when he is performing well, when he is the Premier League standard king in this season's transfer period, every performance of his is the focus of people's discussion.
Xiao Qing is not afraid of comparison, although Adebayo was in very good shape at the beginning of the season, Xiao Qing believes that Adebayo is definitely not as good as himself; Maybe it is difficult for them to form a direct confrontation because of their position, but Xiao Qing doesn't mind letting everyone understand that Arsenal's choice of himself is definitely the best choice through his performance in the game. As for Adebayo, Xiao Qing felt that he had the ability to reduce Adebayo's fiery state to the fire.
Before the match against Manchester City, Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers have also started their second round of the league; Arsenal won 2-1 at home to Bolton Wanderers on September 6, and Xiao Qing's pass and shot made it impossible for him to have any verbal battles with Manchester City, and he will prove his ability with his most intuitive performance on the pitch.
After four rounds of league games, Chelsea and Manchester City have won all four games to earn 12 points; Arsenal won three and drew one, got ten points, and was in third place; Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are both eight points from two wins and two draws, while Liverpool have started poorly with six points from two wins and two defeats, and are mid-table in the table.
Although the current league has only just started, there is not much obvious gap in the current standings; But there are basically a few teams that are more obvious to compete for the title, and there are not many teams that are eligible to qualify for the Champions League. So the game against an opponent like Manchester City is also quite crucial, because they are also quite competitive. They are the most anticipated team to challenge for the Premier League's last four.
In this game, Arsenal can be said to be strong. goalkeeper Almunia; Defender line Sania. Fermaren, Gara and Clichy; midfield midfielders Alexander Song and Denilson, attacking midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Tiger Walcott returning from injury; As for the forward line, it is naturally Xiao Qing and Van Persie.
However, although Fabregas and Walcott returned, the Russian tsar suffered a groin strain in the national team; Rosicky, another veteran of the Gunners' squad, has also returned to action in the Czech Republic's big win over San Marino, having last been on the pitch more than a year ago.
This may be the embarrassment of the national team's game, and Xiao Qing is very cool, which has nothing to do with him at all; Although Xiao Qing's state and strength are definitely quite outstanding, the national team competition is not what Xiao Qing is willing to participate in at all. He can compare to the rest of the players in this time.
It's not just Arsenal who have the FIFA virus, Robinho and Tevez were injured in the Ba-A game on Manchester City's side after the national team break; Gunners veteran Adebayor and Bellamy, who have scored in three consecutive rounds, are partnered with Bellamy, and this is the first time that Adebayor and Toure have played against their former clubs.
Manchester City's goalkeeper Given; Richards, Toure, Lescott and Bridge at the back; In midfield, Wright-Phillips, Ireland, Barry and Frenkie de Jong; In the forward line, of course, are Bam Adebayo and Bellamy.
It can be said that the Manchester City team is really not bad at all, although it is difficult for them to buy top players, although they have failed in the pursuit of Kaka, Ronaldo, Xiao Qing and other players, but they still rely on the endless pounds to quickly gather a group of very good players. They now really have a chance to break into the old order of the Premier League.
Arsenal are a Jishu-ryu team, they are a team that can be pleasing to the eye and very effective in the game; So sometimes a lot of people think that the Emirates Stadium is not the traditional fiery England stadium. Because it's not fanatical enough, it looks a little too polite there. But at the Manchester City Stadium, the atmosphere here is hot enough, although there are also some fanatical Arsenal fans who travel with the team to the away stadium, but here are more crazy Manchester City fans, and the fantastic results of Manchester City in the new season make the fans of the Blue Moon very excited, because they finally see hope; There is hope for a rise, for a challenge to the traditional semi-finals and, of course, for a Manchester derby.
Arsenal are Manchester City's new target and the first Premier League semi-finalists to be taken into action in the city's jihua, and City need to tell everyone they are ready. Manchester City are obviously not satisfied with failing to go further in the league after a series of high investments, they need to reach the Champions League, they need to work hard to hit the glory; As for the current Arsenal, they are obviously not going to let Manchester City go for it, because Champions League qualification is important for every team, because now Arsenal need to fight for the title that they have lost for so long.
Both teams were quite concerned about this game, so this game seemed quite intense from the beginning; Especially for Manchester City's two new signings, they will have to show their ability in this game. They don't just want to prove their ability in front of the new owner, they also want to prove that the old club really doesn't have a good vision.
Toure may be able to say that although he left Arsenal, he didn't seem to have too many grievances; But for Adebayo, a period of time at Arsenal is a nightmare, and he and Arsenal can be said to have made it quite unpleasant, so at this time, he has the opportunity to fight back against Arsenal.
Arsenal are visiting the Manchester City Stadium, which is now the home of the Togolese, and he is the master here; On his own turf, Adebayo's holding back began to unleash his strength, and his style of play even smacked of hatred. So the ferocious style of play is a very good choice for him, because he knows Arsenal very well; Although the fierce physical confrontation in the Premier League is not news, although Arsenal has not encountered a rough defense, but speaking of a team with such a jishuliu tactics still hates physical confrontation.
Manchester City's record since the start of the new season is incredible, although they are newly formed luxury squad, but their run-in is still good, but on the defensive end, their efforts in this game are obvious.
Bam Adebayo's desire to win in this game is frightening, and his determination to take revenge on Arsenal can make people feel the pent-up dissatisfaction with Arsenal in his heart. So the moment the whistle blew for the match, Adebayo's revenge began. In addition to trying to score goals to beat Arsenal, Adebayor also has to work hard defensively, he has to fight for opportunities to take out Arsenal's attacking players as much as possible; He's going to prove that he's a player who deserves to be great, and he's going to try to prove that he's not just going to be able to help the team on the offensive end, but he's also going to be present on the defensive end.
So Arsenal at this time seems to be a little tragic, because of the existence of the vengeful Adebayo, Arsenal has encountered unexpected trouble; Bam Adebayo is not content with being just a striker at the moment, and even at this point his range of activities has covered the entire front court, he is actually still playing in the central midfield, midfielder at this time, and he will use his terrifying physicality on the pitch to fight for every opportunity.
The title of Little Monster is not for nothing, Bam Adebayo's beastly physicality allows him to be very involved in some defence now, and of course only at this time, because Arsenal tried to control the tempo of the game quickly at the beginning of the game, and they are now completely passive.
Cesc Fabregas is back in the squad and Arsenal's attack is alive again; After a couple of attacking attempts after the opening period, Arsenal began to invest more in attack, believing they were capable of tearing apart City's defence, which they believe are becoming more and more difficult to handle.
In the tenth minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas smashed the ball and dodged into the front court; At this time, the fully defensive Manchester City team began to retreat, except for the harassing Manchester City striker Bellamy, who stayed in the front, and almost all the rest remained in the back.
Because the defenders in the backcourt are really dense, Xiao Qing began to retreat deeper at this time to strengthen support, and he needed to use his impact and containment to help his teammates; Xiao Qing's drawdown is not too much pressure, even if Xiao Qing's drawdown is relatively deep. Because Xiao Qing's current dribbling breakthrough ability is really good now, as long as he doesn't stay in the midfield all the time, a certain degree of retreat can still better enrich the team's tactics.
Xiao Qing is now in Arsenal's tactical positioning is relatively good, because of his excellent personal ability, Xiao Qing does not have very strict range of activities in the tactics; Compared with Van Persie, Xiao Qing is obviously a more hode retreat candidate.
This time Xiao Qing was like this, his sudden retreat made the Manchester City defenders a little stunned; And when they briefly appeared to leak Xiao Qing's defense, Cesc Fabregas sent a pass in time, which means that Xiao Qing now has a very good opportunity.
Xiao Qing is full of confidence, although there are still about 30 meters away from the goal, although the current Manchester City team's back line is still relatively complete; But because there was no marker in front of him, Xiao Qing believed that once he got up to speed, then his threat would be more obvious, and now, he was ready!
Xiao Qing did start to pick up speed, and the temporary vacancy in front of him made Xiao Qing believe that he could quickly get to the penalty area, and he would not give the Manchester City team more time to react; But at this time, the unexpected happened. (To be continued......)
