"Wilshere! Arsenal's number 10, our pride, helped us pull one back with a brilliant goal! ”

'We're still down by one goal, it's not time to slack off, keep attacking, Gunners!'

As soon as the second half began, Arsenal changed their tactics.

They changed the style of the first half and put more troops into attack.

And after getting more support from the midfield, Arsenal's gorgeous passing and cutting combination in the front field began to appear again.

This scene made the Gunners fans at the scene enthusiastic!

That's it, this is the Arsenal we are familiar with!

This is the Emirates Stadium, it's our home stadium and we shouldn't be afraid of anyone!

After the goal, Arsenal's young players were in full form.

Their ability to withstand pressure is indeed relatively poor, and their game form is prone to huge ups and downs.

But after they left their baggage behind and played their own characteristics, Arsenal's attacking firepower must not be underestimated.

At the start of the second half, Manchester City played very passively.

Arsenal don't have the kind of top stars in their squad, but every one of their players has delicate skills at their feet.

After their confidence is played, they are often able to play some whimsical passing and cutting combinations on the field.

This kind of passing and cutting cooperation, even the Cosmos team Barcelona, which was strong back then, was a little unbearable and almost overturned!

It was the first time City had seen a frenzied Arsenal, who were forced to shrink back into their own half of the pitch under the all-out attack.

Lin Quan was very strange in his heart, the state of Arsenal in the first half and the second half was completely different.

Not only is the style of play different, but the attitude of the players and the form on the pitch have also changed dramatically.

It made him wonder what Arsene Wenger had said to the Arsenal players in the dressing room at half-time.

What kind of chicken soup can make such a big difference in their state?

Although he didn't know what the situation was, Lin Quan knew that he had to contain Arsenal's attack.

Otherwise, let the opponent score another goal, and the suspense of the game will be great.

What are you afraid of!

Just when he was worried that Arsenal would take advantage of this wave of attacking climax to score another goal, Manchester City conceded again!

In the 74th minute, Arsenal attacked from the right.

Ramsey crosses from the right and Kompany can't head the ball wide.

Wilshere headed the ball into the left side of the box before the defender, and Sanchez, who was retreating, saw the ball fly over again and volleyed directly sideways.

The ball hit so suddenly that Navas could only subconsciously reach out to block, but the ball hit the top right corner of the goal.

Arsenal chased two goals in a row, and the score was rewritten to 2:2!

The Emirates Stadium was in a state of boiling at the moment Sanchez scored.

The Chilean star excitedly took off his jersey and raced along the sidelines to celebrate.

His teammates chased after him, knocking him to the ground and celebrating wildly.

It was Sanchez's third goal in his last three games, and it took him just four games to conquer the Gunners fans after arriving at Arsenal.

On the sidelines, Arsene Wenger also waved his fist excitedly.

The 43.5 million euros were really distressing when they were spent, but judging from Sanchez's performance in these games, the money was well spent!

Since Van Persie's departure, Arsenal have needed a real thigh so badly!

When Pellegrini saw the opponent's goal, he rushed to the sidelines a little angrily and shouted at the players on the pitch to keep them focused and not distracted.

In these games, captain Kompany's performance has been a little up and down, and it is not as consistent as before.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the bench and his eyes stayed on summer signing Virgil van Dijk.

Do you want to replace him?

Van Dijk was now sitting on the bench and watching the game.

Although in a series of warm-up games before the season, he played for Manchester City on a number of occasions and performed well.

But when the Premier League started, he still had fewer opportunities to play.

After all, he can only be regarded as a substitute at best, not a regular main player.

However, Van Dijk has not complained about this, Manchester City are treble winners.

He is a player who has never played in the top five leagues, and it is impossible to expect to sit in the main position when he first arrives in the team.

All he has to do is train well, cherish every minute he plays, and try to earn the trust of his coach and other team-mates so that he can get more playing time and finally sit in the main position.

Van Dijk is confident about this!

"Virgil, go warm up and get ready to play!"

At that moment, Van Dijk heard his coach calling his name.

He held back the surprise in his heart, and immediately got up from the bench and immediately ran to the sidelines to warm up.

Manuel Pellegrini called Van Dijk by name and then looked at the rest of the bench.

In this game, Arsenal's wide attack was very ferocious.

They have a very strong midfield line-up, with Mesut Ozil, Wilshere, Ramsey, Alexis Sanchez and others all very good at their feet.

The two can play a very dangerous combination in a small area, which makes it difficult for City's side to press.

Once the opposition penetrates their defence with a passing combination, it can pose a lethal threat to their goal.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the interception in the middle.

Thinking of this, he named Fernando, intending to make him play and enhance the hardness of the midfield.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Manchester City began to make substitutions and made two substitutions in one go.

After Van Dijk came on, the Arsenal players thought he was young and easy to bully, so they increased their attack on his point.

Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey and others took turns attacking Van Dijk's defensive zone in the hope of opening a breakthrough from him.

However, to their disappointment, the youngster's performance was extremely calm, not only did he not make a mistake, but he also froze their attack with excellent defense.

On the other side, after Fernando came on the field, together with his Brazilian compatriot Fernandinho, he held up an airtight iron gate in the midfield.

Manchester City's midfield has greatly improved and they have begun to actively increase the pressing of Arsenal midfielders.

Mesut Ozil's fear of physical confrontation is no secret in the Premier League, and the more he fears and avoids physical confrontation, the more opponents like to use this trick against him!

Manchester City is no exception!

Under the pressure and harassment of Fernandinho and Fernando, Ozil's form has plummeted.

His performances on the pitch were getting worse and worse, and his mistakes were increasing.

Arsenal's midfield line-up is gorgeous, but no one can match Mesut Ozil's ability to pass and threaten the ball.

After freezing Mesut Ozil, Arsenal's attacking threat began to plummet.

After stealing Mesut Ozil, Manchester City made the most of the large space behind the opposition and played a dangerous counter-attack with quick and simple passes and runs.

Cazorla was injured in this game, and Arsenal used Flamini, a lone midfielder.

It's hard to cover the whole midfield when you're defending!

And after seizing this, Manchester City continued to use the two wings to attack.

In the face of Manchester City's counterattack, Arsenal's players were very active in defending back.

But with the exception of Ramsey, the other three players are all attacking midfielders, and they are not strong in defense or interception.

Rushing back from the front to defend basically does not provide much help except for the waste of their own physical energy.

The poor return of the three attacking midfielders led to a disconnect between the back line and the midfield in Arsenal's 30-metre zone.

A single midfielder can't make up for such a big defensive void!

This weakness was keenly captured by Manchester City!

In the 82nd minute of the game, Manchester City played a quick counterattack after breaking the ball.

The football continued to pass forward, and was finally handed to Lin Quan's feet.

An open area appeared in front of him, and Lin Quan did not miss such an opportunity, cutting inside from the wing, and dribbling horizontally along the open area at the edge of the Arsenal penalty area.

Arsenal's defenders saw Lin Quan dangling outside their penalty area with the ball, and they were all nervous.

And when their attention was attracted by Lin Quan, they didn't find a big player wearing a sky blue jersey, who cut in at high speed from behind and entered the Arsenal penalty area.

After Lin Quan caught a glimpse of his teammate's forward insertion, he decisively sent a cross.

Van Dijk jumped high to meet the ball and smashed it into the Arsenal goal with a headbutt.

The score became 3:2!

Manchester City are taking the lead again!

It was Van Dijk's first goal in the Premier League!

After scoring this goal, he was excited like a child, rushed to the sidelines, and came to the slide to celebrate.

On the sidelines, Manuel Pellegrini was thrilled to see Van Dijk score the crucial goal, hugging and high-five his colleagues one by one.

Manchester City fans were also very excited, they didn't expect this new signing to be brought in for only 10 million euros to be so powerful.

At a crucial moment when they and Chelsea are battling it out for the top spot, it was worth a lot of money!

"This guy, how did he end up there?"

"He's playing too confidently, if he is beaten back, he's going to take the blame!"

Lin Quan was also curious, not knowing how Van Dijk ran to the vicinity of the Arsenal penalty area.

So, after the other party finished celebrating, he opened his mouth and asked his doubts.

'That's right, the opposing striker Welbeck dropped back to defend and I followed him to the middle and saw that there was space in front of the goal, so I rushed over.

Hearing the other party's explanation, Lin Quan couldn't help laughing.

Van Dijk had just come on the pitch and was full of energy and running all over the pitch.

Even if he didn't get any results this time, he could run back to defend in the shortest possible time.

And Arsenal didn't expect him to have a defender so deep forward, and there was no time to divide people to defend him.

Even if he saw his move forward, he couldn't stop him at the first time because of physical problems, which gave him such a perfect opportunity to head the goal.

If it weren't for Van Dijk's spiritual advance this time, Lin Quan might have had to work a little more to send this ball to Arsenal fans.

"Lin, thank you for your pass, you passed so beautifully, I have never had such a comfortable header!"

Realizing that this was a great opportunity to get closer to the boss of the team, Van Dijk immediately thanked Lin Quan, and slapped the other party's ass by the way.

Lin Quan smiled and said:

"You're playing beautifully yourself!"

A newcomer is so up-to-earth and so proactive on the field, as the boss of the team, he has to be encouraged!

After the score fell behind again, the Gunners' players were a little anxious.

With less than ten minutes to go, unless they can score two goals in a row, victory is a luxury.

But now they don't dare to expect to get three points, they just want to equalize as soon as possible and get a point!

After realizing that there was a problem with the defense in the middle, under the command of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal's midfielders consciously shrank their positions, further increasing the connection between each other, and not giving Manchester City too many gaps to drill.

But the move didn't work out too well, and City have found a way to deal with them.

Towards the end of the game, City's midfield pressed past half and pressed wildly against Mesut Ozil and Wilshere.

These two people can't hold the ball at all when they are robbed, and they will be stealed if they take a few more steps.

Lin Quan continued to launch onslaught from the right side, looking for trouble with Ozil again and again.

Mesut Ozil couldn't take care of himself by Lin Quan's life, and almost all of his focus was on defense, but he still couldn't do anything, watching Manchester City attack from his side again and again.

This scene makes many fans feel very familiar, like the move of Spain against the German team in the World Cup final!

Arsene Wenger was forced to replace Ozil with Bordoski.

After Mesut Ozil was off, City's two midfielders concentrated their firepower to press Wilshere.

The latter was robbed of the ball at all, and without the tandem of Ozil and Wilshere, Arsenal's attacking system became fragmented, and it was difficult to organize an effective attack.

In the final moments of the match, Sanchez tried to use his individual strength to make a breakthrough.

But he is not Messi after all, nor is he Lin Quan, his strength is limited after all, and he cannot solve the battle by himself.

Without the support of his teammates, Sanchez's solo play not only failed to help the team equalize, but also completely paralyzed the already chaotic Arsenal attacking system.

On the sidelines, seeing Sanchez playing in the front court XJB, Wenger couldn't help frowning.

Is this guy like this when he was at Barcelona?

In the end, the game ended at full-time, and Arsenal lost the game with a score of 2:3 at their home stadium.

After this game, Arsenal fell to 10th in the table, seven points behind Manchester City.

With this victory, Manchester City have won all four games and continue to lead the standings.

In the other Premier League game that followed, Chelsea at home beat Swansea 4-2 to keep it all on top.

However, they have one less goal difference than Manchester City and are second on goal difference.

However, on another list, the Chelsea players have surpassed Lin Quan!

In Chelsea's win over Swansea, Diego Costa scored a hat-trick in the space of 20 minutes.

It was his first hat-trick in the Premier League, and with this hat-trick he took his tally to 8!

For the time being, with the advantage of one goal, he beat Lin Quan and topped the Premier League scorer list.
