Arsenal rushed to Manchester after finishing the Champions League group stage, this time the opponent in the ninth round of the league is Manchester City, who are now second in the standings.

In recent seasons, Manchester City have been on a recruitment spree, and their countless checkbooks have allowed them to quickly assemble a squad with a terrifying depth of squad. Mancini's Manchester City team may not have a decisive superstar right now, but they have first-class players in all positions, and even on their bench are players who can play in the big clubs. It's fair to say that the depth of Manchester City's squad is amazing, and even the top giants will drool over the depth of their squad.

This Arsenal away trip may not be easy, because the current Manchester City team is really good; Since the start of the new Premier League season, Manchester City's form has been quite hot, after a 0-1 upset defeat to Sunderland in the third round of the Premier League, the Blue Moon has won four wins and one draw in the next five league games, and the points have jumped to second in the Premier League. One of City's deadliest weapons, Tevez has been immaculate, with seven league goals to his name, and he is now another super-striker rising from the top of the scoring charts.

Manchester City, which is not bad for money, has been burdened with the infamy of the nouveau riche, although the British media generally believe that the blue moon is a strong contender for the Premier League title this season, but the objective problems of the team cannot be ignored: Manchester City relies too much on Tevez's personal ability when attacking, once the beast is dumb, it is difficult for the team to score, in the blue moon This season's twelve Premier League goals, Tevez has covered seven, "beast dependence" is a major hidden danger for the team; Besides. City's run-in is not yet fully formed. The overall strength is still lacking. If only Mancini could not completely address these two fatal wounds. Manchester City are highly unlikely to reach the top of the Premier League this season.

And although it has the second Haode defense line in the Premier League, after the injury of Kolo Toure, without the stable and unbending Kolo Toure, Manchester City's back line is no longer credible. Especially when they are facing Arsenal, who are known for their attack, and when they now need to face the most haode striker, Xiao Qing, it is a huge challenge for the Manchester City defenders.

said that he was a wealthy family, and he really thought that he had the style of a wealthy family. Rooney's blatant overtures to Manchester City in his 'defectiongate' in the summer of this year shocked the whole of England. are talking about the transfer of the center of power in Manchester City football and even English football, Manchester City has also become a top giant because of the "favor" of a star of Rooney's level.

Even if there is no Wayne Rooney in the end, Manchester City can shine just as well. Before the start of this focus battle with Arsenal, the media is also quite looking forward to this game. Although Arsenal's form since the new season is hot, it is not a consistent view of Arsenal's cost, because Manchester City is actually very good, and they are also very competitive.

In fact, making such an evaluation is not simply based on Manchester City's previous four-game winning streak in the league and the current situation of qualifying from the Europa League group. It's also because of the self-confidence they build up against strong teams. Last season, the team beat Chelsea twice, although they lost both games against the Gunners. But in these two games, Arsenal really played extremely hard. So far this season, the Blue Moon has beaten some traditional strong teams such as Liverpool and Chelsea, and has not turned over in the gutter against weak teams such as Blackpool and Wigan as they did last season, and the team's performance has become more stable. Manchester City continued to recruit this summer, and their quality has improved steadily; And the current coach Roberto Mancini is clearly considered to be more clever than Hughes, which is why Manchester City think that this home game against Arsenal will be a very interesting game.

Don't count the difference in gold medals between Manchester City players and Arsenal players - in this match, the eventful England reporters will each have a score, and Manchester City players will have more gold medals than Arsenal, such as Silva and Vieira each have a Shijie Cup title, Tevez has an Olympic gold medal, and Tevez can also play Yaya. Toure showed off the gold medal of the Champions Cup together. The young Gunners gave the "champions" Manchester City a taste of defeat.

As for Arsenal, although they won both the league and the Champions League last season, they may not have more experience than Manchester City. Even in the lineup, Arsenal is still deficient, although they have the most active players like Xiao Qing, but Arsenal is really not dominant in terms of overall strength.

Although Arsenal are the defending champions, and although Arsenal is in hot form in the new season, Manchester City is still confident about hosting Arsenal. And they don't have much good impression of the Arsenal Manchester City team, because Adebayo in their team is Arsenal's abandoned general, and they are still very unhappy about Adebayo's encounter at the Emirates Stadium, just because they are teammates, and last season Manchester City visited the Emirates Stadium, and the players in the Blue Moon were also booed by Arsenal fans because of Adebayo.

The big war was coming, and the entire Carrington training base was filled with extreme optimism; Because the current Manchester City team is second in the standings, and because the luxurious squad does make the Manchester City team quite confident.

The young Richards said: "With the arrival of the new owner, it became very realistic for the team to win the championship. The first big deal was Robinho, when fans started believing that something was going to happen. After Robinho, a bunch of shijie-level players came. When we brought in Tevez from Manchester United, the fans started to take us really seriously, and he was in fantastic form last year and was probably the best of my team-mates. Now, people see us as a semi-final team, but we haven't had enough time to get used to it! ”、

Manchester City midfielder Babareta was equally optimistic: "The game against Arsenal is undoubtedly important and if we can beat the Gunners we will send a huge signal to the Premier League – we are a very strong title contender this season. Now the team is in a good position in the league, but it has to be guaranteed a place. As for the Haode, the confidence of the players has now reached the stage where they can win every game. ”

Most of the Blues fans are convinced that they can beat the visiting Gunners, and so far this season, Manchester City have continued last year's strong and strong characteristics. They beat Liverpool and Chelsea at home. Fans heading to Manchester City Stadium have become accustomed to expecting a victorious finish. The Manchester City squad can now be said to be full of confidence. They have no doubts at all about their team's win over Arsenal in the upcoming fixture.

Once upon a time, Arsenal players often gave the impression of being soft and not good at tough battles, but with the great success of Arsenal last season, the Arsenal players who injected the championship factor have risen one after another like pure masters, and among these people, Xiao Qing, who is the new banner of Arsenal, is naturally a leader. Fighting with injuries is already a small case for Xiao Qing. In addition, the performance of Arsenal's new flag in key games is becoming more and more believable. As long as he doesn't leave the arsenal, the Gunners won't have a problem winning the title.

In fact, due to the fact that the last three away games against Manchester City have lost very badly, the total score of 4-8 is estimated that even the Arsenal people themselves can't believe it, coupled with the humiliation of running 100 meters to celebrate after being scored by the traitor Adebayo when he visited the East Stadium in the league last season, so before this game, all Arsenal players were holding back their energy to complete revenge on the Blue Moon Army.

Alexander Song, who has always kept a low profile, even said: "Everyone in our team can score goals, and we will play beautiful football in front of everyone at Manchester City Stadium." ”

Compared with the strong-blooded Cameroonian midfielder, Xiaofa's pre-match statement was much more low-key, and he only said in an interview with The Sun: "Whenever I step on the pitch, my only hope is to help Arsenal win. ”

The current small law is no longer the absolute core of Arsenal. Especially in the absence of Xiaofa, Xiao Qing helped the team win again and again, which proved that this is Xiao Qing's team. Xiao Qing has the ability to lead Arsenal to more successful results.

The Arsenal captain didn't say anything about beating Manchester City, but that doesn't mean he will back down in this game; Although Arsenal are not too high-profile before the game, the Gunners' blind confidence in Manchester City has upset them. You must know that Arsenal is the defending champion of the league, and Arsenal has performed very strongly since the new season. So the contempt for this upstart team naturally makes the Gunners share the same hatred.

Xiao Qing does not have the habit of making big remarks before the game, and he prefers to teach his opponent a lesson in the game. But now Xiao Qing is also very unhappy with the reporter's interview, he is very unhappy with Manchester City.

'Even though we've just finished the Champions League group stage, we haven't had a lot of rest and we might not even be able to field our strongest squad away from home because of injury. But I don't have the slightest doubt about this game, congratulations to them, they don't have to worry too much at home, Arsenal are not at their best at the moment. Xiao Qing's words even meant something soft, but no one could understand that Xiao Qing would not be so low-key.

"Where is Manchester City now? Second place in the standings? It was nice and it was where we used to be. As long as they continue to be in the same form, maybe they will be able to run ahead of Arsenal one day. Of course, it will require more effort and patience on their part, not every team is Arsenal. Now it's time for them to be put to the test, and if they can put in a super bang for Arsenal against a side who are not at their best, then perhaps they will be among our main rivals. But now it's a shame they don't have a chance to pick up points against Arsenal. Xiao Qing shrugged, he didn't care about Manchester City in the slightest, because it would be an Arsenal game, because the Gunners can show more form and performance in these games.

Xiao Qing didn't care about angering the Manchester City team, because he never paid enough attention to the Manchester City team, because Xiao Qing believed that the Manchester City team was not Arsenal's opponent, because Xiao Qing believed that the initiative was on Arsenal's side from the beginning. So he doesn't need to make a fuss at all, he doesn't need to care about what the Manchester City team is doing right now.

In Xiao Qing's opinion, it is far enough to only need Arsenal to do their job, and Arsenal does not need to look at the faces of any opponents at all, because they are the defending champions of the league, because Arsenal is the league leader! (To be continued......)
