Chapter 618: All the People Are Soldiers
Because of Wu Xudong's existence, everyone is envious of Arsenal, not only the left and right fullbacks are sprinters, but even the substitutes are 100-meter flyers.
But when it comes to the wide configuration, Manchester City is actually not bad at all.
Fifty-fourth minute.
Wu Xudong and Ram met in a narrow way.
With the help of Wu Xudong's containment, Ljungberg easily got the ball on the side, completed the bottom and sent an inverted triangle pass.
Patrick Vieira cut in the back and prepared to shoot.
As a result, it was tackled by Ram.
Lahm is booked.
The offense on both sides was in full swing.
Sixty-second minute.
Henry grabbed the ball and shook it continuously, shaking McConn.
But before Henry could cut inside, he was tackled by a dislocated McConn.
McConn also received a yellow card.
In just twenty minutes, the two sides engaged in a series of sharply accelerated confrontations on the wings.
The midfielders don't breathe.
But the players on the wing are starting to weaken their legs and feet.
"Isn't the situation dangerous? Manchester City played so hard, but still couldn't get a chance! Victoria asked Ronaldo.
Ronaldo shook his head: "No, the situation is good. Arsenal were brought into the rhythm of Manchester City and the fitness of their wide players was wasted running in high-speed switchbacks on the wings. β
'Arsenal are really fast on the wings, but they tend to be very well co-ordinated in attack. And today...... Especially during the period after Ram came up, their cooperation decreased. β
Victoria: "Then why didn't they cooperate?" β
Ronaldo smiled: "Because it can't be done!" There is a limit to any player's control over football. Some players lose control of the ball at 10 kilometers per hour. β
"Some are 20 kilometres, very few are 30 kilometres per hour and can still have the ball."
'City took the initiative to raise the pace to the point where neither side could control the ball, so their wide players could only cross and not play sharp combinations.
Victoria seemed to understand: "No wonder you always kick the ball out as soon as you catch it, because you don't have good control of the ball, right? I remember David saying that the only thing you lack right now is control of the football. β
Cristiano Ronaldo: ......
Cristiano Ronaldo: "David actually said bad things about me, I will let him not get an assist on me next season!" β
Victoria didn't answer.
There are some things that Ronaldo may not know yet.
But Deng Kai knew.
When David was upset about this matter a few days ago, he also made a special call to inform Deng Kai's opinion.
Deng Kai supported David on his new journey, even though he thought it might not be too smooth for David there.
But David's commercial value will be raised to a higher level because of this.
In the 64th minute, as the football was kicked off the touchline, City's side began to make a substitution.
And it was a two-person swap in a row, and all the substitution cards were played directly.
There is no doubt that City are going on a real counter-attack.
"Sun Jihai replaced Mai Kong in the opposite position."
"Ashley Young replaced Grosso."
"The real Chinese derby has appeared, and Wu Xudong and Sun Jihai are both right-backs."
"Sun Jihai is a jack-of-all-trades player who can play from the front to the back. His strength is all-round, but he also lacks character. He was replaced by McConn, mainly because of McConn's internal and yellow card issues. β
'Ashley Young has shown what a Premier League player should be this season, with good speed, likes to dribble and is very enjoyable, but the actual effect is not good.
The narration is quite incisive.
Sixty-sixth minute.
Deng Kai returned to the backcourt and asked his teammates for the ball, and kept waving his hand, signaling his teammates to press up.
The Manchester City players were stunned, knowing that moment was finally coming.
"Deng Kai passes the ball to Lahm, who passes back and then cuts forward."
Deng Kai crosses the ball to Thiago Silva. Thiago gave the ball to Ribery and then cut forward himself. β
'Ribery tried to break down the wing...... Sun Jihai set the edge! Ribery gave the football to Sun Jihai in front. β
'Van Bronckhorst defended well and he didn't lose his position.
Sun Jihai shifted widely, giving the football to Lahm on the left side. These two full-backs at Manchester City basically occupy the entire width of the pitch. β
Rahm advanced with the ball, and Wu Xudong quickly rushed towards Ram. Ram kicks the ball forward...... Ashley Young is like a wild horse on the loose. β
Chloe Toure came out. Baggio sneaked into the Arsenal penalty area and was asking for the ball, good chance...... It's a pity that Ashley Young didn't see it, he was very obsessed with excelling. β
"Ashley Young shook continuously, and the only effect of his foot movements was probably to keep Chloe Toure from stretching his feet at will."
Bang!
At Rahm's cue, Ashley Young saw Yaya Toure in the back row.
He made an inverted triangle pass, which alleviated the embarrassment of "Yang But".
Bang!
Yaya Toure blasts a shot from the left side of the box from the edge of the box.
This time, He-Man fell into disrepute.
made a good save.
It also had to do with the lack of suddenness in Ashley Young's return passes, and Seaman was ready for it.
There was chaos in the exclusion zone.
Baggio took advantage of the chaos to complete a follow-up shot.
Unfortunately, Campbell stretched out his foot to keep the ball out of the box.
Deng Kai, who had previously called his teammates to step forward in the backfield, also came to the front court after the ball, and immediately kicked the football knife......
Vieira squeezed Dunkai away roughly.
There is a suspicion of foul play in this action.
The referee took the whistle to his mouth.
But because he wanted to interfere with Deng Kai, Vieira himself didn't have the heart to care about football.
After the football bounced to the ground, it was shot out by a blue figure before it could bounce completely.
Swish!
The ball flew towards the goal at an almost flat height and hung into the corner.

"Thiago Silva! With this kick, the peach blossom shadow fell and flew the sword! Straight to Arsenal! β
"Manchester City's centre-backs are all at the top of the arc of the penalty area!"
"Manchester City, this is all soldiers."
"With Deng Kai calling on his teammates to press forward, there were a full eight players in the midfield of Manchester City in this attack.
"Hierro and Chiellini at the back were also past halftime."
"The rest of the players are all in the third zone!"
"Manchester City really got out of the way!"
"Nineteen-year-old Thiago Silva was unable to beat Chiellini in the starting race, but Deng Kai has publicly praised his footwork, which he believes is extremely outstanding among defenders."
'Thiago proved it today.'
"This kick is bursting, and the pressure is so good! Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, who are known for their long-range shots, can't easily play a world wave of this quality! β
Two to three!
Less than three minutes after City's substitution, the goal was completed.
And Sun Jihai and Ashley Young, who had just come on the field, were also involved in the attack and had a good performance.
