1/4 finals, Arsenal vs Juventus.

The first leg is on April 6.

The second leg is on April 14.

During that time, Arsenal played two Premier League games and one FA Cup.

March 19th.

Manchester City vs Arsenal.

The equation arrived in Manchester two days early. Not just to come and compete, but because he was invited to an event.

On this day, a domestic boss also came to Manchester to visit the football academy in Manchester with Cameron.

The FA is ready to present Sun Jihai with a membership certificate in the Premier League Hall of Fame on this day.

Equation is now the most famous football player in the country, so it was natural to be invited here.

In addition, Arsenal is about to come to play Manchester City away, so he passed early.

Accompanying him all the way, looking at the tight security measures at the scene, to be honest, he was still a little flattered in his heart.

I didn't expect to see this boss in person one day.

However, the boss cares about football and it is normal to be able to come here to visit the football academy.

Naturally, there is a Manchester City celebrity, Sun Jihai. Fan Zhiyi, a player who once stayed at Crystal Palace, also came to the scene.

Subsequently, the mysterious boss personally awarded Sun Jihai a Hall of Fame certificate.

Sun Jihai was wearing glasses today, looking gentle and elegant, smiling, and busy taking the certificate.

A round of applause followed.

The equation also gave his own applause heartily.

Sun Jihai, as a senior of domestic football, has been in Manchester City for 6 years, and Manchester City has not been acquired by local tyrants at that time, and it is still only a small team in the Premier League.

Sun Jihai's previous strength is undoubted, otherwise he would not have played 130 games in Manchester City, and he also wore the captain's armband.

It can be said that there are still many old Premier League fans who still remember the Manchester City captain.

It just so happens that today's Manchester City training base is open to the public,

Equation and the two football seniors walked outside and chatted.

"Before, Brother Fan and I flew to London. Just went to North London for a while." Sun Jihai said happily on his face, "Hey, then we saw a lot of your posters on the street, which was something that I didn't dare to imagine before." It's nice to see that."

Equation didn't expect to mention it, he analyzed: "It should be a promotional poster arranged by the fans spontaneously, because we won Real Madrid before. ”

Sun Jihai said with a smile: "That's why I feel very surprised, after so many years, we finally saw domestic players playing in the Premier League again, and they also played in the 1/4 finals of the Champions League, which was something we were all looking forward to at that time."

Fan Zhiyi laughed and said: "I had a hard time playing in the Premier League at that time, not to mention the Champions League, and I have been playing in League One for several years. I had the opportunity to go to the Premier League, but it was a pity."

"Therefore, I also advised Zhang Linpeng to go to Chelsea at that time, and don't leave regrets for myself. But that guy didn't listen to persuasion, so he had to stay in the country. You say, a young man has talent in his own right, why not go outside? ”

"Although he has won a lot of domestic titles, as well as the AFC Champions League. But what's the use, it's nothing more than leaving something that you can remember. What compares to the experience in the Premier League! ”

Sun Jihai shook his head and persuaded: "Don't talk about this, people have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." ”

Fan Zhiyi sighed and said, "Okay, don't say it." Anyway, my personality is like this, and I'm not afraid of offending people. Don't worry about the equation. ”

Equation smiled happily and naturally said that it was fine.

He must have known that. If General Fan is not straightforward, he will not offend many people in the country, and he will not have the opportunity to help the development of the national football team.

This topic feels a little heavy.

Sun Jihai hurriedly shifted his attention and said: "By the way, just now, there were Manchester City executives who joked with me, saying that I would lobby you to transfer to Manchester City in the new season."

"And what did you say then?" Fan Zhiyi asked.

Sun Jihai smiled, "What else can I say, the equation is now the fragrance of the Premier League transfer market, if I can really persuade him, then I can come to the Premier League as a professional agent." ”

The equation smiled and hurriedly said modestly: "Brother Sun has a good reputation, I have just made a name for myself now, and there is still a long way to go in the future." ”

Hearing the equation say this, Fan Zhiyi waved his hand and reminded: "It's not okay to be so modest, you are now one of the top stars in the Premier League, and our future football still depends on you young people." ”

Sun Jihai also recognized: "Yes, you are much more powerful than me at that time, and you will definitely create more records here in the future." But don't let anyone else look down on you."

The trio chatted as they walked slowly around the Manchester City base.

But soon, someone suddenly came over and found Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi, saying that there was something that needed them to go over.

As a result, the equation alone met the Manchester City generals who were training not far away.

"Huh? Isn't this the captain of Arsenal? ”

Aguero walked over, his eyes lit up, and he was a little surprised to meet him here.

Aguero joked, "Aren't we going to play the next game?" Are you here to spy on our training base? ”

Equation couldn't help but smile, "If that's the case, I might have been asked out by the security guards a long time ago." ”

Both sides know that today is Manchester City's opening day.

Aguero smiled happily, then walked over and shook hands with the equation, "Anyway, I also know an Oriental player named Wu Lei, who used to help us spar at the Olympics, and I heard that he is now playing in La Liga, this time flies so fast!" ”

'If he hadn't come to the Premier League, maybe we'd have had a chance to swap shirts.'

Equation smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I can help, be a middleman, and help you exchange jerseys." ”

"That's fine~" Aguero nodded happily.

After saying that, the equation noticed De Bruyne and Silva behind him, and said hello in a friendly manner.

"Hopefully we'll have good weather when we play the day after tomorrow." De Bruyne said in a friendly greeting.

Equation nodded: "I'm looking forward to it too."

.

March 19th.

Pre-match press conference for the 32nd round of the Premier League.

In an interview with Guardiola, a reporter mentioned about Sun Jihai and the equation.

Pep Guardiola thought for a moment and replied: "I've heard about Sun, congratulations on his induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame. He is said to have spent six seasons at Manchester City, which is not easy because the competition in the Premier League is very intense. ”

"I think the equation is going to go ahead and his potential hasn't been fully realized. Of course, I hope we can restrain him today, he's the guy who can cause us problems. ”

'I don't know about his contract extension with Arsenal, we're not done this season yet, we're going to keep focusing on doing our job.'

This game is undoubtedly the focus of the battle.

If Manchester City win, they will be able to chase the top Liverpool on their toes.

If Arsenal win, they will also follow in the footsteps of the first group of the league.

Both sides will go all out today and field a full main lineup.

Arsenal were awarded the kick-off and at the start of the game, City pressed out and kept the pitch high.

The opening was pressing, which was expected.

Arsenal don't want to get used to it, and they have long been used to it. You grab whatever you want, it's okay if you lose the ball, it's a big deal that it's their turn to grab it.

And today's domestic commentators are Zhan Jun and Sun Jihai.

Zhan Jun chatted with Sun Jihai while talking about the game, "The game has started, and we can see that Manchester City is still full of high pressure. Having said that, when Coach Sun returned to the Premier League before, did he feel like he was at home? ”

Sun Jihai smiled and said: "I feel okay, everyone is very enthusiastic about us." Especially when I read the equation, it made me think about my days in the Premier League."

Zhan Jun said curiously: "A few days ago, Director Sun went to the country and was inducted into the Premier League's Hall of Fame, can you tell me how you feel in your heart?" ”

Sun Jihai said modestly: "I feel a little deserved, but this is also a recognition of me, I will continue to work hard and contribute to the development of football."

Zhan Jun sighed: "But time flies so fast, I still remember that we used to see your live matches in the Premier League in front of the TV, and now we are watching the equation." ”

Sun Jihai also sighed: "So I hope our players can go out to stay abroad as soon as possible, even if they are not in the Premier League, they can grow."

The clock ticked by and in the sixth minute, both sides snatched the ball off the touchline on Arsenal's left flank.

The touchline ball went to Manchester City's side.

"Happy Boy" Sterling is very cunning, before receiving the ball, he used his big ass to push away Tierney behind him.

Create space for yourself to handle passes, then turn quickly and dribble wide!

Tierney pulled and pulled from behind, but it didn't stop Happy Boy's dribble breakaway.

Sergio Aguero and Phil Foden were already in the box to grab the penalty and waited for Raheem Sterling's cross.

However, the happy boy pinched the orchid finger and suddenly cut in, and he himself chose to cut inside to hit the door.

The height of the football was well pressed and flew out only one corner of the beam.

Sterling smiled shyly at his team-mate's helpless hand-out.

As if to say, I obviously pressed it well. Why didn't you score??

Pep Guardiola spotted himself on the sidelines with a blundered look when he turned around and slapped his slick head.

He didn't want to say anything more to the pitch, and if Sterling wasn't happy one day, it was a big problem.

The equation ran back from the front court, and when he saw this scene, he instantly felt very stable in his heart.

Sterling is still happy today, still smelling like that.

Although the attack was not played well this time, Manchester City grabbed the ball again with the momentum of the home team and continued to attack Arsenal.

Foden received a long ball from Kevin De Bruyne on the right and he stopped and dribbled into the ribs of the box.

However, Arsenal's defense is very tight, and someone immediately made up for it.

Foden played the ball quickly and found Sergio Aguero who came to pick him up.

Sergio Aguero immediately helped his team-mate with a one-two.

After the pass, Foden forced his shot from the tight space in the box.

However, Leno reacted quickly today, fell to the ground and saved Foden's shot!

"Beautiful! ——”

'City did a good job of threading the needle in the box, but Leno denied them!'

"The score is still 0:0!"

Arsene Wenger saw that something was wrong and quickly shouted at his players from the sidelines.

"Keep an eye on your back, don't let people in like this!!"

The players on the pitch are naturally aware of this, but Manchester City's attacking players are indeed very strong, and it is actually a bit difficult to completely limit them.

In order to stabilize the defense, Arsenal's front court had to return to midfield first, forcing Manchester City's playmaking mistakes in attack.

The midfield's pressing immediately became white-hot, and the ball was exchanged at the feet of the players of both sides.

Manchester City's defence has been pressed very high before you know it.

Equation suddenly snatched the ball on the center circle, and because there was someone defending in front of him, he did not choose to break through with the ball, but rarely passed it back to his teammate.

"The equation is passed back to his team-mates, which is rare because he has been the breaking point of Arsenal in the past!"

After the return pass, the equation quickly turned, like a sharp arrow out of the string, straight into the heart of Manchester City.

His run immediately tugged at City's defences and forced them to retreat together.

At the same time, Arsenal's Foss immediately advanced in the middle with the ball.

After discovering that many people's eyes came to themselves,

Foss was on the run and immediately split the ball on the right flank.

"Good pass! This is Arsenal's counterattack, advancing in the middle, quickly splitting sides! ”

Saka received the ball on the run, and the split kick instantly pulled the City defence away.

He has the route of the cross everywhere in front of him!

Manchester City's defence is in disarray!!

Bukayo Saka played the ball decisively and found his team-mate in the box to grab the spot.

However, the equation ran too fast in front of the penalty area, and the route of the cross ball obviously did not reach him!

It's behind him!

between electric light and flint,

The equation reacts quickly, and it's just right if you can't get to the front!

Because he has defenders in front of him who are forced to retreat!

Fang Cheng hurriedly stopped at high speed, and stopped the football at his feet sideways.

Then, before the defender reacts,

Suddenly, he quickly faced the goal, and his legs crossed quickly!

As you can see, the right foot hits the bottom of the ball accurately in the back.

Immediately, the football instantly flew out of an arc, and in everyone's surprised eyes, the football flew into the far corner of the goal with a small arc!

"It's a flower foot shot!"

“gooooall——”

"It's an imaginative shot!!"

"Arsenal are 1-0 ahead!!"

Equation burst out laughing and ran to the sidelines with his hands outstretched in celebration.

It's a flower foot shot!

Especially in the Premier League, it is difficult for ordinary people to make this technical move.

He felt that this goal could definitely be selected as the best goal highlight of his career!

"It's flower arranging feet again! Last time, it was a flower arrangement, and this time it was a flower arrangement! Arsenal lead by one goal!! ”

Zhan Jun couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Unbelievable, the equation is so imaginative!" ”

Sun Jihaile said with a smile: "It's really beautiful, Saka's cross is behind him, just enough for the equation to complete the flower foot shot!" I remember that in the current European arena, the players who like to use flower arrangements are Neymar and Di Maria, and now the equation has been added!! ”

Zhan Jun continued: "However, in many cases, the way the equation is played is very unpretentious, but he will always show a gorgeous technical move at a critical moment. This makes the opponent feel unguarded. We can see that Manchester City's defense actually retreated quickly, and it was precisely because of the equation's flower foot that suddenly caught Manchester City off guard! ”

"The goalkeeper and centre-back didn't react at all!"

Zhan Jun carefully analyzed the live broadcast replay, and the more he watched, the more he wanted to shoot the case!
