……

In the 55th minute of the second half,

There was a big score of 5:5 on the big screen at the scene.

Guardiola squinted his eyes and stared at Zheng Yaxin standing in front of Arsenal, his thoughts diverged uncontrollably, and the combination of Casillas + Inzaghi + Ronaldo came to mind.

Goalkeepers like Cassie, points grabbing like Inzaghi, free-kicks like Cristiano Ronaldo – you just have to be strong, leave it to the miracle if you don't score or not.

Because this is only the third game played by Zheng Yaxin, Guardiola is extremely lacking in understanding Zheng Yaxin's goalscoring ability, he thought that Zheng Yaxin played goalkeeper in this game, so he studied Zheng Yaxin's performance against Chelsea in the last round. In addition, Manchester City has always played the control style of play that he is familiar with step by step, and he has been pushing it flat, never caring who the opponent is and what the opponent's style of play is, and Arsenal itself does not have the strength to compete for the championship, so he has not studied Zheng Yaxin's technical characteristics much.

Unexpectedly, this game came up with a few losses.

Possession style of play,I'm most afraid of this kind of opportunity player who can score goals with a dick.,As long as he is given a chance,You'll inevitably get a lost goal.。

Guardiola sighed, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.

Throughout the first half, Arsenal really didn't get much of a chance, and strictly speaking, City made two mistakes. The first is that goalkeeper Ederson is not nervous enough in front of goal, the second is the free kick sent by the tactical foul at the back, and even the defender's pass mistake in the third minute is not a mistake - if Zheng Yaxin did not suddenly turn around and break the ball.

However, Manchester City conceded 3 goals in the first half!

As soon as the second half started, two more were conceded!!

It's so depressing......

Pep Guardiola squirmed a few times before shouting at the pitch, reminding his disciples to step up their attacking efforts and focus in the coming time, and never give Arsenal another chance.

Zheng Yaxin's terrifying goalkeeping ability has been deeply rooted in Guardiola's heart, after watching Arsenal's 3-0 win over Chelsea in the last round with one less player, Guardiola is a little lacking in confidence in whether his disciples can break through the door guarded by Zheng Yaxin next.

So Arsenal must never be given any more chances......

On the pitch, after the resumption of play, Manchester City launched a suffocating siege on Arsenal.

Arsenal didn't talk about counterattacking, and even cleared the ball by relying on goalkeepers and defenders.

Lone striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was flanked by two Manchester City defenders, and he simply couldn't get that kind of clearance.

Obviously, the way the game is played is not the same as before.

Manchester City, who played with one more man, completely stifled any possibility of Arsenal's counter-attack.

Arsenal's players seem to have accepted the scene and stayed at the back for City to attack.

Zheng Yaxin's goalkeeping ability instilled strong confidence in his teammates, and although he played one less game in two consecutive rounds, the Arsenal players on the field did not panic at all.

Man City played comfortably and it was hard to feel at all!

The comfort point is that Manchester City are opening a half-time attack and defence drill against Arsenal.

The uncomfortable part is that the balance of victory has not tipped in City's favour. Whether it is a breakthrough in individual ability, a long-range shot from the periphery, or a sudden acceleration after the hypnosis of pass-controlled football, and finally when it comes to shooting, it comes to an abrupt end.

can't break Zheng Yaxin's ten-finger pass.

Zheng Yaxin, who is 195 tall, stood in front of the goal, like a god, which filled the hearts of Manchester City players with despair.

Of course, Arsenal have also failed to organise a decent attack, and it is not only the lone striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has been targeted, but Laporte and Ruben Dias have been almost inseparable from him. Zheng Yaxin and Odegaard each tried a few times to send the ball to Manchester City's backfield and let Aubameyang grab it, but they were destroyed by the two Manchester City central defenders who interfered in advance + stuck in the position.

Aubameyang is a smart striker, physical confrontation is his weakness, and as soon as the opponent gets on the body, he is basically blind.

Without the ball, Aubameyang has no room to play.

However, he was not discouraged, but waited patiently for the opportunity, and he had to take advantage of the limited opportunity to appear and play his own value, so as to find his next home.

Because the situation is that the manager Mikel Arteta doesn't like him and he can't stay at the Emirates Stadium anymore.

Barcelona, who lost Messi this summer, have already contacted him in the past two days, and I heard that Barcelona also contacted Ferran Torres, the opponent of this match, Spaniard Ferran Torres scored three goals in this game......

Not surprisingly, Barcelona may have to focus on Ferran Torres.

This puts Aubameyang under pressure.

That's the giant Barcelona, who doesn't want to join?

Although Arsenal is also a giant, it is not in the same order of magnitude as Barcelona.

With that in mind, Aubameyang stayed near the centre circle, cruising back and forth with his feet on the halfway line, trotting and running briskly, and began to walk Laporte and Ruben Dias.

As a result, there was a strange scene on the field.

Arsenal were in front of goal, Manchester City's attack was in full swing, and Aubameyang was not involved in the defense, but became the busiest one.

Such a scene made the commentators of various countries laugh.

"Wow... Look at what Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is up to. ”

"Pull horizontally!"

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang single-handedly pinned down two Manchester City defenders!"

"Arteta is very bold in this tactic..."

"Considering Zheng's goalkeeping ability, Arsenal does have the confidence to put a striker in the half and wait for a counterattack even if they have one less man to play."

However, since Arsenal equalized, Aubameyang ran three or four kilometers in the next ten minutes! In the same way, the two Manchester City defenders who defended him also ran almost that much. ”

"The three of them were already sweating on their foreheads, they were all gasping for air, and their jerseys were completely soaked!"

'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang didn't stop running, he was still trying to find his chances, and he came off the bench in the second half and he was full of energy.

"It seems that the people who ran the most in this game must be the two defenders of the Manchester City team, haha..."

"Oh hoo... Arsenal began to make changes, removing Kolasinac, who was carrying a yellow card, and replacing striker Alexandre Lacazette, and changing the formation from 531 (originally 541, 531 after Xhaka was sent off) to 432. ”

"Looking at the position of Arsenal's two strikers, they should not be able to defend at all."

In doing so, the two strikers involved three of City's defenders, and at Arsenal half-time, the numbers were reversed. If Arsenal counts goalkeeper Zheng, the number of defenders is 8, and the number of Manchester City's attackers is only 7! Arsenal have become the crowded! ”

"Wow, wow, groundbreaking tactics!"

"But the premise of daring to play this style of play is that you have to have a goalkeeper in your team, otherwise you will be beaten."

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Neville gushed about Arsenal's tactics and gave Manchester City a move by the way.

"It's a pity that De Bruyne can't play due to injury, otherwise, his through ball is a sharp weapon to break through the dense defense, and it can easily tear through Arsenal's defense."

This is true, if De Bruyne was present, Arsenal, who played one less, would definitely not be so calm!

However, Henry didn't like to hear this, and immediately said, "Gary, even if De Bruyne is there, will Manchester City be able to break through Zheng's door?" ”

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the live broadcast room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Even Neville, who opens his mouth every day to black Arsenal, is speechless.

If you refer to the performance against Chelsea in the last round and Zheng Yaxin's performance in more than 20 minutes in the second half of this round, even if De Bruyne is on the field, Manchester City is estimated to be difficult to break Arsenal's goal.

Such a goalkeeper is a bug!

It can be said that Zheng Yaxin relied on his own strength to turn a slaughter situation into a balance of power.

He is a mainstay for Arsenal.

What shit luck did Arsenal have to be able to pick up this kind of player?

In the 75th minute of the second half, Pep Guardiola called in Mahrez and Sterling, and ordered the targeted arrangement with a serious look.

Seeing that the team was scoreless, Guardiola was anxious.

He knows very well that if he can't get past Zheng Yaxin's ten fingers today, Manchester City can only get a draw at most in this game, and may even usher in a second defeat of the new season.

Arsenal have made it clear that they are using a chicken-stealing tactic, which is not afraid of a hundred mistakes, as long as it succeeds once, it is a one-handed goal.

"You have to understand,"

"That guy is a tough guy to deal with, we have to be smarter with our shots!"

"Let me put it this way, you have to treat him like Casillas in his prime."

In an astonishing word, Guardiola directly compared Zheng Yaxin to Casillas at his peak, which is really very high.

How good was Casillas at his peak? As captain and goalkeeper, he led Spain to three consecutive major titles.

In the 2008 European Cup, Cassie only conceded one goal in the whole process, and saved two penalties in the penalty shootout against Italy in the round of 8, helping Spain to win the European Cup through the difficult Italy, Russia, and Germany.

In the 2010 World Cup, Spain won the World Cup for the first time by defeating all opponents 1-0 in the knockout rounds.

In Euro 2012, Spain conceded only one goal in the whole process and won the tournament three times in a row. Casillas continued to play superbly, and in the final round of the group stage against Croatia, it was Casillas's god-level play, who tried to keep the goal many times, which gave the team the opportunity to beat Croatia at the last moment. In the semi-finals against Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo, the two sides fought 0-0 in 120 minutes, and in the penalty shootout, it was Casillas who saved the Portuguese team's penalty kick to help the team enter the final.

Looking at those three tournaments, without Casillas, Spain would not have won three consecutive championships.

'I'm not kidding, I've never seen a goalkeeper who feels so good in front of goal, you guys have to be smarter.'
