Chapter 45: Passing Space
In the second half,
Arsenal are starting to press at a faster pace and now that the scoreline is delicate, they must not allow City to handle passes with ease.
Arsenal can give up the ball, but if they want to score, Manchester City don't think about it.
It was Professor Arsene Wenger's tactics at half-time, and if he could force City to make a mistake on his own, it would be the best outcome.
This time, the equation ran all the way from the back to the front.
He kept chasing the football and caught the City people off guard, only to rush the ball back to his team-mates first.
Just as the equation took the lead, the Arsenal teammates also followed, laying it out like an iron net.
The ball was at the feet of full-back Delph, who was a little sluggish, and when he was about to get out of the ball, Xhaka and Alexandre Lacazette were already surrounding him.
The passing ball suddenly touched the knee that Xhaka used to block,
With an arc falling down,
The ball unexpectedly fell to the middle of the Manchester City penalty area.
Saka was eyeing the opportunity, and the start was fast, flashing like a shadow!
He was the first to grab this landing point!
Poke the soccer ball and force it in front of the small penalty area!
Defender Stones was shocked, and hurriedly made up for it, stretching out an arm, trying to jam Saka's position!
This is a rare opportunity,
Saka is about to make his next move.
Suddenly, Saka felt the corners of his feet slip, and with a bang, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Goalkeeper Ederson dropped the ball and pocketed the ball with ease.
"This?? What's going on?!! ”
"Why did Saka fall suddenly!"
"Was Manchester City's John Stones fouled?!!
When Xhaka, Lacazette and Mkhitaryan in the back saw Saka suddenly fall to the ground, they quickly shouted and went together to surround the referee, trying to get a favorable decision.
The equation ran from the back to the front, and he saw it very clearly just now, as if Saka's feet suddenly slipped, coupled with the opponent's reasonable physical contact, Saka could no longer control the football, and suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
"It's okay!"
Equation walked over with concern and patted Saka on the back.
Saka, who stood up, gritted his teeth, feeling very depressed, as if he was about to be angry with himself and cry.
Equation sighed and comforted: "It's okay, we still have a chance in the future, and we will always score beautiful goals." ”
Saka lowered his head and blamed himself sullenly: "It's all my fault, this ball was grabbed by everyone together, why didn't I deal with it......"
Equation didn't know what to say, and touched Saka's unkempt head.
It seems that their Saka baby is really under a lot of pressure, and they have to find a way to guide them well.
The referee had just looked closely at the situation in the penalty area and he did not award a penalty.
Arsenal missed a rare chance to score.
After this thrilling mistake, Manchester City's defense didn't dare to be careless, and they couldn't help but cheer up the spirit of twelve!
Arsenal grabbed for another two minutes, and when they saw that it had lost its effect, they voluntarily shrank back.
Manchester City began to patiently pass the football, at this point in time, they did not dare to press on it again, if Arsenal stole one, then this game may become troublesome......
It didn't take long for the Manchester City team to brew a wave of offensive again,
First of all, De Bruyne deployed in the midfield, and then added horizontal passes, pulling out the gaps in Arsenal's defense.
Then, De Bruyne suddenly stepped forward and sent a precise through ball to the left side of the penalty area!!
Mahrez ran into place in advance, facing the fast-coming football from behind,
He doesn't stop the ball,
Shoot violently!!
With a bang, the ball flew like a straight line towards the far end of the goal!!
However, goalkeeper Leno reacted very quickly, quickly fell to the ground, and touched it with one palm!
The soccer ball was changed trajectory and rolled out of the bottom line against the goal post!
The Arsenal defenders were suddenly afraid,
K6 hurriedly pulled goalkeeper Leno up and patted him hard.
This saved the team's life again!!
The equation couldn't help frowning, feeling that it would not work any longer like this! Sooner or later, it will be scored by Manchester City!
This time goalkeeper Leno was given the right to kick off.
The equation takes the initiative to reach for the ball.
Although he has long felt the limitations of Manchester City in the front,
Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane, for example, are all trying to cut off the link between him and the defenders.
But now it's time for him to step up.
Sure enough, when the equation received the ball, it was robbed by Sterling's close-fitting,
However, the speed of the equation turned quickly, and at a glance he saw the gap on the side, and sent a pick pass there, avoiding the upper grab!
The equation didn't stop, choosing to quickly bypass Sterling and then turn around to ask for the ball.
Seeing that Mustafi had already grabbed the equation's free pass, and seeing that the equation had gotten rid of Sterling, Mustafi hurriedly sent the pass to the equation again.
When the equation catches the ball,
Using passing and running, he finally escaped the restrictions of Manchester City's frontcourt for a short time!
Before Mahrez rushed up not far away!
The equation only swept the front field and decisively kicked a long pass!
"Pass the ball! This is a long pass that is rare in equations!! ”
"Who did he find??"
"Pretty!!"
"Saka is cutting forward quickly!!"
"The view of the equation is very broad! Cooperate with Saka in the front court!! ”
Saka ran quickly, his sudden forward and left the wide defence behind.
There are only two centre-backs left in the middle of the pitch in front!
If he can unload the long ball smoothly, then Arsenal will play three in front!!
At this time, on the sidelines,
Professor Wenger immediately clenched his two fists after seeing the long pass,
If this ball is matched, then they have a good chance of winning this game!
However, the next second!
Professor Wenger covered his mouth with his hands, looking a little frustrated......
It seemed that the pass of the equation was too strong, and Saka stretched out his leg in the run, but he didn't succeed in unloading the football.
The football just rolled out of the sideline!!
The whole Manchester City team was immediately relieved!
I was almost beaten up with a counterattack!
"Bang Bang ......"
However, Professor Wenger still applauded the field, thinking that the passing awareness of the equation was not bad.
It's just a little stronger, and if Saka's outburst is a little faster, it can actually be unloaded......
Professor Wenger understands this and is still satisfied with the performance of the equation.
It only took half a month to be able to grow to this level quickly, which is already rare!
The most important thing is that there is no complaint after being away from the goal, and at the same time it helps the team to stabilize the defense. Professor Arsene Wenger feels he may not be able to find a second youngster better than him......
"Defend him, don't give him space to pass!!"
Guardiola was almost taken aback by the goal, and couldn't help but remind him loudly on the field.
