The entire Etihad Stadium was silenced by Yelo again.

Many commentators were also dumbfounded.

The debate about luck also automatically stopped.

Can it be said that it is luck to score two goals in the same way?

After the game restarted, the TV footage was still replaying the goal from every camera angle over and over again.

The camera behind the goal looks the most impressive.

Because from this angle, you can clearly observe the direction of the ball from the goalkeeper's point of view.

The ball flew in the air and moved sideways back and forth twice!

The ball quickly went from small to big, leaving too little time for the goalkeeper to react when it drifted from side to side.

This kind of deciduous ball is very difficult technically, and Ye Luo has kicked out such a difficult line in several attempts before!

This kind of unavoidable line, Ye Luo almost used it as a conventional weapon.

"Breathtaking!" Duan Xuan couldn't help but admire.

"It's a beautiful line, and the swaying line is causing a lot of trouble for Joe Hart. In fact, before this, Manchester City's tactics of defending the middle were successful, and they once made Yelo unable to find any space in the middle, but what they didn't expect was that Yelo, who came to the side, could still directly threaten Manchester City's goal! ”

"The threat of Yelo is almost everywhere!"

'Mancini needs to make some adjustments.

In the commentary booth at the scene, many commentators thought that Mancini needed to change his strategy, or make some fine-tuning to his tactics.

'Man City can't afford to let Yelo shoot unbridled on the wing, they have to have someone to interfere when Yelo shoots.' Lineker analyzed.

Really.

Roberto Mancini pulled Xavi on the sidelines. Garcia was explaining something.

etc. Harvey. When Garcia returned to the field, it was discovered. He followed Ye Luo like a cowhide plaster, as long as Ye Luo had a shot on goal, he was always the first to block and interfere.

This is true even on the wings.

Although said Harvey. Garcia was sometimes unable to completely block Yelo's shots, but his presence did interfere with Yelo's threat to the Manchester City goal.

Under the interference of the opponent, it is even more difficult to hit a very difficult defoliant ball.

In Harvey. Garcia defended at all costs, and Yelo failed to score in the first half.

The two sides reached some kind of temporary balance on the pitch.

Until the end of the first half, neither side was able to break the deadlock on the field.

Both sides ended the first half with a 1-2 scoreline, returning to their respective dressing rooms.

In the home dressing room, Roberto Mancini did not criticise his players' performances in the first half, instead praising their performances after conceding the second goal.

'We didn't panic and we kept going, which is good. Although we are behind for a while, but there is still a second half in the game, we don't need to rush too much, stabilize the situation and look for opportunities, as long as we don't let their attack score, we can get chances in the second half! It's like the goal we scored before! ”

Manchester City's players nodded their heads when they heard this.

They are all mature stars that Manchester City FC bought at a high price.

The average age is above 25 years old.

Falling behind by one goal is not enough to make them panic.

'In the second half we needed to step up our attack, but we couldn't let up defensively. Pushing Yelo to the wing, I'll admit I underestimated him in the first half, but with a little bit of interference when he shoots in the second half, it will be exponentially more difficult to score another goal like the first half on the wing. ”

Mancini said, looking around and saying: "Guys, we conceded two goals in the first half, but I didn't panic at all, you know why? Because those two goals conceded in the first half were accidents, we didn't expect Yelo's ability to shoot on the wing, and now, when we are vigilant enough with his shots, it is difficult for him to threaten our goal on the wing! ”

Hearing Mancini say this, the Manchester City players have an expression on their faces that "he must have made a point when he said so much".

Mancini took in the expressions of his players and went on to de-pressurize them, informing them that this game was just the start of the season and that there was no major impact on the race for the league title.

The battle for the league title is not really about the strong dialogue.

It's about the ability to score points against the underdogs.

The more consistent the team, the more advantageous it will be in a full league marathon.

With the age structure of the Arsenal squad, Mancini doesn't believe they can be consistent throughout the season!

They're bound to have turmoil.

Arsenal with Yelo are favourites for the league title.

But City need not panic at all.

Roberto Mancini believes in the consistency of his team.

The win over Arsenal was three points.

The win over Sunderland was also three points.

It's all scores, and there's no essential difference.

Therefore, the real test of the competition for the league is the stability of the team, and the team's ability to score points against the weaker teams.

On Arsenal's side, Arsene Wenger also made tactical changes, asking Yelo to be more bold in the box and create some free-kicks up front as good opportunities.

There are still some big and tall men on Arsenal's side.

Vermaelen is out injured for this game.

But Koscielny, who replaced him, is also quite tall, as well as Mertesacker and Giroud, who are more than 1.9 meters tall, and Yelo's heading ability is also placed here.

So breaking through and creating set-pieces is also one of Arsenal's attacking methods.

If the opponent is dense in the middle, then use the front set piece to smash.

If the opponent attacks.

Arsenal can also use their passing ability to take advantage of the space that is exposed when the opponent presses out.

Both managers are making tactical adjustments.

However, the key to the game between the two head coaches is the execution of the players on both sides.

After the start of the second half.

Yelo began to choose more from the sidelines, and he took the initiative to move on the two wings from the beginning of the second half.

There's a bit more space there.

He's still facing Harvey. Garcia, as well as the defenders in this area.

For example, in the 48th minute of the game, he faced Zabaleta, Sinclair, Xavi on the left wing. Garcia three players.

Sinclair posted up, Zabaleta and Xavi. Garcia assists in defense.

Zabaleta's one-on-one defensive ability is still very good, but he is also like a big enemy in the face of Yelo, and Yelo involuntarily takes a step back as soon as he raises his foot.

At this moment, Yelo suddenly dribbled the ball to the outside line, and when Zabaleta was about to turn around to cut off the connection between Yelo and the football, Yelo suddenly pulled the ball back, and easily rushed through the other side of Zabaleta with this one-step rhythm change.

Harvey. Garcia had already taken precautions against this, and he quickly stuck on it, stuck in the inner line, and didn't kick it, just stood in position.

Of course, he knew that the work under his feet was not Ye Luo's opponent at all, so he didn't do the spring and autumn dream of being able to break the ball, but honestly stood in the direction of the inside line, on the one hand, to prevent Ye Luo from shooting directly with his feet, and on the other hand, he was also planning to drive Ye Luo towards the bottom line.

Of course, Ye Luo didn't have a single tendon to continue to go in the direction of the inner line.

People are standing there, and there is no point in you trying to hit them.

He smashed the ball with his right foot, dodged the ball to the baseline and then pumped the ball directly towards the goal with his left foot.

It's a kick-and-shoot treatment.

The football is going in the direction of the goal, but there is a goalkeeper in this direction, and it is unlikely that he will score directly, but Yelo's volley is too fast, and Joe Hart will never think that he can control the ball, so there is a certain probability that the ball will be blocked by him back into the penalty area to create some chaos.

Now Manchester City's defense is very disciplined, and the purpose of Yelo's handling is to create some opportunities to fish in troubled waters as much as possible.

Joe Hart, of course, also knew Yelo's purpose.

So he blocked the ball as far as he could.

Even if you give Arsenal a corner, it's better than risk keeping the ball back in the box.

Corners, at least Manchester City can still use a complete defensive system to deal with the opponent's attack.

The ball hit Joe Hart's foot and bounced off the baseline.

Zabaleta breathed a sigh of relief at this.

He had some palpitations.

Ye Luo almost gave what he wanted when facing him, and he tried his best, but it was difficult to keep up with Ye Luo's rhythm.

Javi Garcia was gasping for breath.

Defending Yelo is too physically draining.

Not only do you have to stop and turn sharply, but the psychological pressure is also very high, which exacerbates the physical exertion.

Yelo also seems to know Zabaleta and Xavi on this side. Garcia's dilemma

So he simply stayed on the left side for a while, and focused on this side.

Time.

City's defence on their right flank looked precarious.

Mancini frowned on the sidelines, of course he knew Zabaleta and Xavi. Garcia's side was targeted by Yelo.

If Ye Luo continues to target him like this, Manchester City's defense on this side will definitely collapse.

Zabaleta was fine.

Harvey. Garcia had been with Yelo for most of the game, and now his energy was almost exhausted.

Mancini looked at the bench.

"Barry, go warm up!"

He said loudly.

England international defender Barry immediately took off his jacket when he heard this, put on a warm-up vest and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

"Manchester City are going to make substitutions, but will it be a little earlier in time? It's only 50 minutes now, and it's only five minutes into the second half. Andy Gray looked at Barry who was warming up on the sidelines in surprise, "It seems that Manchester City is going to make changes in midfield, and Barry may have to replace Xavi. Garcia too. ”

It's not hard to guess.

Because everybody saw Harvey. Garcia's embarrassment.

Sure enough, in the 52nd minute of the game, Manchester City completed the substitution.

Barry replaces Xavi. Garcia.

It stands to reason that Barry, as a full-time defensive midfielder, should be better than Harvey in terms of one-on-one defensive ability. Garcia is stronger.

But that's not the case.

Barry was embarrassed when he came on.

It's not that he's better than Harvey. Garcia is weak.

It's because

Ye Luo began to exert his strength.

In the 54th minute of the game, Yelo continued to hold the ball on the left wing, and a continuous change of direction shook the center of gravity of Barry and Zabaleta like braids, and then he smashed the ball and shot from the bottom line.

The effect of City's substitutions is still there.

At least this time, Yelo shot the goal, and Barry saved in time, and the flying tackle blocked the ball off the line.

But Barry, who had completed the defense this time, was gasping violently.

He's only been on the pitch for a few minutes.

One can imagine how much pressure Ye Luo created on this side road.

The corner was cleared out of the box by Vincent Kompany, and the perimeter was still under Arsenal's control.

Yelo's continuous attacks on the flanks were also a kind of pressure on the Manchester City defence.

Almost immediately, Gibbs, who had won the ball on the perimeter, instinctively passed the ball back to the feet of Yelo, who was pulled to the side.

"Here we go again!"

The commentators were excited.

Ye Luo continued to break through with the ball and have the upper hand with one enemy and two is indeed exciting.

"Ye Luo! Pretty!! Shake over Zabaleta and Barry! He tightened the penalty area!! ”

Zabaleta was so nervous that Ye's feint caused him to take two steps back, causing Yelo to gain space to cut into the box. Zabaleta is also a first-class defensive player, but when facing Yelo, he was so embarrassed, it can only be said that Yelo brought him too much pressure! ”

The narrators are all praising Ye Luo's excellence.

The fans were also hooked.

But people don't think that Ye Luo's success this time can create any threat.

The box was densely packed and Manchester City were pinned down by Arsenal.

This scene made many fans at the Etihad Stadium bite their lipes.

No way.

City had to shrink because Yelo's individual breakthrough on the flanks was so sharp that they could easily be scored by Yelo if they didn't pile up enough defenders.

However, there are also Manchester City supporters who feel that Ye Luo is so sudden and consumes a lot of physical energy, can he still break through the whole game?

As long as they hold on to these ten minutes, Manchester City will have a chance, after all, they are only one goal behind.

Ye Luo also knows this, don't look at Zabaleta and Barry being embarrassed by him, but in fact, he himself consumes a lot in these few minutes.

Even if his physical fitness is very good, it is impossible to change the direction of the whole field in such a sprint, and a reasonable distribution of physical strength is needed.

Now it's just a goal ahead, if only I could score another one.

The team can shrink back with peace of mind, get a chance to breathe, and wait for the physical bottleneck to pass, and then press out to play a wave of attack, whether it is successful or not, the game time will be consumed because of this, so that the game is basically won.

Ye Luo was already very close to the bottom line when he cut into the penalty area with the ball.

Shot, no angle.

If you cross, the penalty area is densely packed with feet, and it is not easy to find your own people.

At this time, Yaya Toure also came up.

He's actually behind Barry and Zabaleta at all times.

He didn't pounce right away.

Because the Manchester City midfielder judged that the biggest threat of Yelo in the bottom line position was the pass into the penalty area.

He got stuck in the path of Yelo's pass.

In the bottom line to Beijing, basically you can only pass the ball.

So you only need to card the line.

rushed up and was passed, but it was over.

The rest of the City players thought the same thing.

They were clinging to Arsenal's attacking players in the box.

Olivier Giroud had two men in his care, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cazorla also in the box, although they were both surrounded.

Forcing the ball into the box and perhaps the best outcome may be a corner for Arsenal.

However, when Ye Luo broke through to the near the baseline, he raised his foot and kicked the ball out.

Everyone's pupils shrank!

Shot!!

How is this possible?!

Everyone was stunned.

Was he a dead man when Joe Hart?

Joe Hart leaned against the near post, which had no gap at all.

Could it be that Yelo's shot can still bypass the goalkeeper at the front point like a cruise missile?

The thoughts of the Manchester City players are still in the back of their minds.

They saw that the ball was flying, almost parallel to the baseline.

Off!

City's players haven't had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the horrified eyes of all.

Football has really turned a corner!

Joe Hart was supposed to be the first at the near post.

According to the normal shooting line, this position is the only route that can send the ball into the goal from the baseline.

As long as he stands here, no matter how Ye Luo shoots, it will only hit him at most.

Don't worry at all.

So when the ball came out, Joe Hart felt that Yelo's cross was kicked.

I think I wanted to pass a high ball, but I didn't kick it, right?

Joe Hart's center of gravity was pressed very low, and it was Yelo who slammed directly and vigorously into the post.

So when the ball came out, he couldn't react much.

So he could only tilt his head and look back at the ball.

And then he saw.

The ball first flew almost parallel to the baseline and flew towards the penalty area and fell.

At the end of the soccer ball.

Suddenly there was a little turn!

Joe Hart's face froze.

Mancini was shocked!

He suddenly realized that Ye Luo had kicked this purpose!!

He saw better from the sidelines than the players on the field.

That's not the footwork of a cross at all!

Ye Luo rubbed the ball with the outside instep.

The purpose of this is to spin the ball and bring out an outward arc.

The outside of the instep arc, the most famous is the Portuguese striker Quaresma.

Quaresma is very famous, and he even has a feeling that his fame is greater than his strength - the king of Portugal's outer instep.

But the arc pulled out by Yelo's outside instep is even more exaggerated than that of the king of Portugal's outside instep.

After the football passed the goalkeeper, it seemed to draw a semicircle in the air and turned towards the goal!!!

At this moment.

None of the Manchester City players have reacted.

They watched as the ball turned a corner.

Bang!

The soccer ball smashed into the far post!

Hit the pillar!

Manchester City's fans widened their eyes.

The expectation in my heart was extinguished as soon as it was ignited!

The soccer ball hits the inside edge of the post.

Bounce into the goal!

As the ball flew into the goal, the bustling Etihad Stadium fell silent for the third time......

Zero angle, outside instep shot.

Such a way to score goals. It's really hard to know what to say.

While the Arsenal players cheered and celebrated.

All the Manchester City players couldn't help but bow their heads.

Are they doing poorly?

It's really not bad

But instead, they scored with three incredible shots!

One to three!

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

Manchester City's mentality is going to blow up

The unluckiest of all was Joe Hart. His performance in this game really can't be considered bad, and even excellent.

But now he fished the ball out of his own goal three times.

Three jaw-dropping world waves, Hart had to helplessly become the background board again.
