Chapter 62: Wenger is hesitant, Ozil is angry
"The Brazilian should be grateful for Lin Quan's assist, which Lin Quan's pass was just right, allowing him to get up and hit the goal very comfortably."
"Arsene Wenger's Arsenal are in danger, they have already been beaten by Manchester City before the first half is over!"
On the Sky Sports commentary bench, the two commentators were not very optimistic about Arsenal's prospects after seeing Fernandinho's goal.
At Manchester City's home turf, once you're behind, it's hard to turn things around.
Arsene Wenger was clearly aware of this, so after seeing Fernandinho score, Wenger reached out to cover his forehead and knew something was wrong.
"Do you want to put on Cazorla?"
Arsenal's assistant coach opened his mouth and everyone could see that Ozil had been blown up.
He was already a little afraid of physical confrontation, and now Manchester City have discovered and exploited this weakness, catching him and beating him to death.
If Arsenal don't find a way to solve this problem quickly, I am afraid that the conceded goals like this just now will continue to happen.
"Wait a little longer!"
Arsene Wenger's old hesitation has returned, and he still has expectations in his heart for Mesut Ozil, hoping that he will quickly adjust to his form.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, after Manchester City's attack was fruitless, Arsenal organized a counterattack.
Ramsey hesitated for a second after receiving the ball, wondering whether it should be handed over to Ozil.
Mesut Ozil's previous mistakes on the pitch became a breakthrough for Arsenal, making it very uncomfortable for the players behind them.
Ramsey had long since had enough of wiping his ass, so this time he passed the ball to Wilshere.
Before Wilshere could catch the ball, he was caught by Lin Quan and David Silva, and Ozil happened to have no one around.
Wilshere had no choice but to pass the ball to Mesut Ozil.
Mesut Ozil also knew he was playing very badly today, so he was very keen to perform.
After receiving Wilshere's pass, he looked up and took advantage of the fact that no one was defending him.
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud was out of space at this point, his passing path was blocked by Manchester City's players, and Mesut Ozil was unable to pass the ball to him.
Wilshere is in the middle of the opposition's bag, and at this time, the ball will be cut off when the ball is passed back to the opponent.
Then pass the ball to Walcott on the right!
Thinking of this, Ozil quickly completed the pass.
Mesut Ozil's technique at his feet is still very good, and the quality of his pass is extremely high.
Walcott received the ball and sped quickly along the flank, but City were already on guard against him, and Nasri and Yaya Toure both stopped in front of him, building an insurmountable iron wall.
Walcott's one-on-one success rate is not bad, but one-on-two, he is not sure!
After all, not everyone has the perverted ability of Messi and Lin Quan!
Walcoat then opted to pass the ball to Giroud, who took the ball with his back and was held by Kompany.
He played the ball back to Mesut Ozil and he turned to wait for a team-mate to get through.
What a chance!
Off the pitch, Arsene Wenger's eyes lit up.
As soon as Ozil gets the ball out and at Giroud's feet, Giroud has a chance to finish.
However, before Ozil could receive the ball, the Manchester City players had already tackled him.
"Lin, why did he end up here?"
"Lin retreated very deeply when he was defending, and he was about to chase back to his own big penalty area!"
"This kind of tackle is very dangerous, Lin is not a professional defensive player after all, his tackle is likely to cause injury to the opposing player, and he himself is likely to be punished for it!"
Arsene Wenger was shocked to see that the player who put the tackle was Manchester City's No. 10 Lin Quan, while the TV commentators were very surprised and a little worried.
Ozil felt someone rushing over from the side, and subconsciously glanced at it, and saw Lin Quanchong falling to the ground and shoveling.
He was so startled that he didn't even dare to catch the ball, and subconsciously jumped up to avoid the opponent's tackle.
The opponent's movements are not standard at first glance, and if they are tackled by the opponent, they will be seriously injured.
He's still young, he's just entering the prime of his career, and the possibilities are endless, so he doesn't want injuries to affect his career.
On the field, such a choice cannot be said to be wrong, after all, not everyone can do it.
However, this is the Premier League!
Seeing that Mesut Ozil gave up even the ball in order to protect himself, the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium laughed at him.
"Haha, Ozil is instigated!"
"Eggless coward, go back to your mother's arms and drink milk!"
"This soft sissy, I don't know how Wenger fell in love with him, and he was willing to spend 50 million euros for him!"
Premier League fans love to watch the kind of intense physical confrontation and love the brave and fearless tough guy players.
They hate players like Mesut Ozil, who are limp and have no guts or even avoid physical confrontation.
Not to mention the Manchester City fans sneering at Ozil, even the Arsenal fans, after seeing this goal, couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Can this guy really be the leader of the team?"
"Who knows? But I'm sure he can't be a leader like Vieira! ”
"Alas, I really don't know what the professor likes about him, and he is willing to spend so much money to buy people."
Before Ozil's arrival, the most expensive signing in Arsenal's history was only 16 million euros, and Ozil's transfer fee was three times that record.
Considering that the opponent is Real Madrid's No. 10 player after all, and has proven his strength in La Liga and the Champions League, this price is not particularly outrageous, although Arsenal must have been slaughtered by Real Madrid.
When learning of this transfer, Arsenal fans felt a little painful, but they wanted to get what they paid for, but they generally had great expectations for the historical champion of the Arsenal team.
However, it now seems that Ozil's performance is completely unworthy of his value and the high salary he receives.
Many Arsenal fans are starting to feel that this is a failed transfer, and Wenger may have never spent so much money and bought such an expensive person, so he looked away!
In Wenger's style, he should continue to buy the kind of demon with unlimited potential and young age, not to mention the cheap price, and can still be played.
Like the number 10 opposite Manchester City, he fits Arsene Wenger's standards very well.
Very young, very potential, and very powerful.
The most important thing is that you don't need to pay a transfer fee to buy him, no matter how you look at it, it is very suitable for Arsenal!
If only they had bought each other's number 10, it would have been great!
On the field, Lin Quan saw that Ozil was too frightened to catch the ball, so he unceremoniously snatched the ball.
Seeing that Lin Quan closed his feet and did not shovel the ball to the end, Ozil had already reacted at this time.
The opponent just wanted to scare himself, he is the core of Manchester City, how can he do such dirty work as tackles?
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little annoyed and angry in his heart.
Looking at Lin Quan's back with the ball, Ozil clenched his fists, and a crazy thought flashed in his heart.
Lin Quan didn't know what Ozil was thinking, taking advantage of the opportunity for Arsenal to switch from attack to defense, he quickly passed the ball to his teammates, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to switch between attack and defense to catch the opponent off guard.
After seeing the ball broken, Arsenal's players have chosen to retreat from the defense as soon as possible.
But people move at a speed that is obviously not as fast as football.
The ball was transferred to the feet of David Silva by Lin Quan, who did not dribble the ball and went to the team's striker Sergio Aguero as soon as possible.
Sergio Aguero's movement was astute, as he was quick to kick off Silva's pass, cleared the offside trap and got on the ball.
This is a one-man chance.
Szczesny was the first to abandon the goal, and Sergio Aguero was the first to shoot into the far corner.
In the clash between the two, the Argentine had the last laugh.
The soccer ball grazed the far post and rolled into the net!
3:1!
Manchester City have extended their lead again!
"Damn it!"
"I've had enough of this stupid guy!"
"Hehe, are we one less person? How do you feel like there are 12 people on the other side? ”
"What is Arsene Wenger doing? Why not replace that guy? ”
After seeing this goal from Manchester City, Arsenal fans finally couldn't help it.
Their patience with Mesut Ozil has been completely exhausted, and they have conceded two goals due to their fear of confrontation.
If you hadn't conceded these two goals, the score on the field would still be 1:1!
Even if they can't win, they can at least secure a draw.
But now, let alone winning, even a draw has become a luxury!
And if Arsenal lose this game, they will miss out on the halfway title and will be opened up by Manchester City by nine points.
With such a big point difference, I'm afraid the second half of the schedule will not be easy to catch up, right?
After all, Arsenal's repertoire is a habitual collapse of the second half of the fixture.
"Coach, let's change people!"
Assistant coach Steve Boulder couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to rush on the pitch himself to replace Mesut Ozil.
"The first half is almost over, let's change it at halftime!"
Wenger is also very disappointed in Ozil, and he doesn't want Ozil to be an iron-blooded leader like Vieira, but you can't be so outrageous, right?
It was just seeing that the first half was coming to an end, and the substitutions at this time would have dealt a huge blow to Ozil's confidence and mentality.
So the professor is still ready to save some face for the opponent and wait until the last minutes of the first half are played, and then replace him.
However, the professor's hesitation this time led to a catastrophe.
In the last minute of the first half, Lin Quan was seen with the ball ready to break through.
Mesut Ozil suddenly rushed from the flank and tackled Lin Quan, who was dribbling the ball.
Obviously, it was a retaliatory foul.
He was the tackle that Lin Quan made him lose face before he took revenge!
With a bang, the two slammed into each other and fell to the ground one after another.
Lin Quan's shovel was in front of Ozil, giving him time to react.
And Ozil's shovel was going to foul, Lin Quan didn't notice his actions, and he didn't have time to react.
Seeing that Ozil had shoveled down Lin Quan, the scene was in an uproar.
The City fans stood up nervously, craned their necks and looked at the pitch.
Ozil's tackle was not small, and Lin Quan didn't have time to avoid it at all.
So he's likely to be injured, and most likely seriously!
The referee quickly stopped the game and ran towards the place where the incident occurred.
He could see very clearly that Ozil didn't hit the ball at all, but hit someone.
It was clearly a foul, and a vicious foul.
So he didn't hesitate to show Ozil a red card and send him off directly.
Mesut Ozil rolled on the ground with his feet in pain, and at this time he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the referee's decision.
He felt like he had kicked an iron plate in the tackle, and the opponent's ankle was hard to talk to.
He didn't know if the other party was hurt, but he felt like he was definitely hurt.
So even if the referee didn't show him a red card, he couldn't hold on.
Seeing Ozil rolling on the ground, the referee at first thought he was pretending to be innocent and trying to win sympathy.
So while beckoning to Manchester City's side to signal the team doctor to come on the field to deal with Lin Quan's injury, he watched Ozil quietly from the sidelines.
Seeing the clumsy acting skills of their teammates, the Arsenal players were also a little ashamed, and no one stepped forward to pull Ozil up.
On Lin Quan's side, the Manchester City players immediately rushed over after seeing him injured and fall to the ground.
"Lin, are you alright?"
"If Lin gets injured, I'll have to get rid of a few Arsenal players later!"
"Don't talk about that, team doctor, let the team doctor come up!"
Manchester City's players are full of concern and concern.
If it weren't for the referee standing by Ozil's side, they would all want to pick up Ozil and blow the hammer to vent for Lin.
The referee watched from the side for a while, and saw that Ozil was sweating profusely and even had hot air on his forehead, and he realized that the other party was not pretending, but really injured.
So he waved to Arsenal and motioned for their team doctor to come up as well.
The Manchester City fans at the scene cursed Ozil while looking at Lin Quan, who couldn't afford to be injured, with worried faces.
The other party kicked himself and injured himself, Lin Quan's injury is only afraid that it will be more serious!
City's team doctor thought the same thing, and he trotted all the way to the pitch with all his gear and a serious expression.
As a result, before they could reach the place where the incident occurred, Lin Quan stood up by himself......
"Lin, don't move, be careful to aggravate your injuries!"
The team doctor was startled, and hurriedly stopped Lin Quan and let him lie down again.
"Uh, I'm fine, really!"
Lin Quan explained very seriously, but the team doctor didn't believe it at all.
It's okay? How is it possible, the other party is injured, how can you be okay?
However, after some examination, Manchester City's team doctor was a little confused.
Is it really okay?
Is this in the river?
He began to wonder if he was not good at his studies, could it be that he had made a mistake in his inspection?
So he turned his attention to the Arsenal team doctor on the other side, who was checking on Ozil's injury.
"That, peer, can I trouble you......"
The fans and the audience in front of the TV were surprised to know what the doctors of Manchester City and Arsenal were doing.
"Emperor Lin, what's the situation, why did he lie down again after standing up?"
"Why is it Arsenal's team doctor who examines Lin Huang's injury?"
"Manchester City's team doctor is not good at this level of business, and he actually went to Arsenal's colleagues for help!"
"Uh, Emperor Lin stood up again, is this sure he is not injured?"
"It's good that you're not injured, but if it's really injured, I'm afraid it will take a truce for several months!"
"Speaking of which, Lin Huang's physique is really outrageously strong, I can see him being targeted and violated by his opponent in every game, but I just don't see him injured!"
"As soon as you say that, I found out that Lin Huang seems to be a full-time attendee this season, and he hasn't missed a single game!"
"That's not it, Lin Huang didn't play in the fourth round of the League Cup, but it wasn't because of injury!"
"Hey, that's also an exaggeration, at least the Premier League and the Champions League are full attendance, which is surprisingly efficient!"
'I remember when he was in the Bundesliga, he missed games because of injury, but when he got to the Premier League, it wasn't like that, so it's weird!'
"Maybe it's because of my good physical fitness, plus I have more experience in the game, I know how to protect myself better!"
"It's a good thing to have fewer injuries, it's a talent that a lot of players dream of!"
"Royce gave it a thumbs up!"
"Messi, Robben, Kaka, and Da Luo expressed envy!"
"Woo, Mei fans said that if Messi could be less injured this season, then his statistics would not be so much!"
……
On the field, after Arsenal's team doctor checked Lin Quan, he also began to doubt his life.
Is it really not hurt?
How is this possible?
He glanced back at Ozil, who was being carried away on a stretcher, and for a moment he had an illusion, as if it was not Lin Quan but Ozil who was fouled.
Otherwise, why was it Ozil who was carried down, but Lin Quan was still alive?
