Chapter 49: The game isn't over yet

It turns out.

Arsene Wenger's fears are far from unfounded.

In the twenty-third minute of the game, Manchester City, who were fighting away, took the lead!

They fought back with a quick counter-attack, culminating in midfielder Yaya Toure firing a long-range shot past Szczesny.

"Yaya. Toure!! ”

On the commentary seat.

Sky Sports radio announcer Andy Guerrera chanted Yaya Toure's name in a long voice.

The only sound at the Emirates Stadium was the boos of Arsenal fans.

"Damn it!"

Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines, his hands outstretched and his head over.

In the face of this conceded goal, he could only regret it.

Then again, he hadn't felt this kind of pressure in years.

There is a lot of pressure to compete for the league title.

The feeling was exactly the same as before, and the familiarity made Wenger seem a few years younger.

He clapped his palms vigorously to draw the Arsenal players to look at him and pointed his fingers to his temples.

Calm down!

Calm down!

He's going to convey that to the players on the pitch.

This group of Arsenal players who are now on the pitch.

Only Yelo and Cazorla have the experience of competing for the league championship and winning the league championship.

Inexperience is Arsenal's biggest weakness.

Come to think of it.

Wenger's palms couldn't help but sweat.

Even if he's one of the most experienced managers in the world.

At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous - even him, let alone the players on the field.

Stress is accumulating.

Wenger couldn't help but frown when he thought of this.

Blake opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because, the relief of this pressure requires the players to adjust themselves.

There is no one to help them.

I want to win the league title, the Premier League.

Where there is so easy.

But once . They withstood the pressure and won the title.

All the players of this Arsenal team can experience a process of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

The so-called champion mentality.

That's how it was cultivated.

But the champion. It used to be so far away from Arsenal.

Mancini leaned comfortably back in the dugout.

There was a smile on his lips.

He certainly knows where Arsenal's weaknesses are.

Before the game, he took the initiative to put on a low profile and counterattacked away from home.

Arsenal's players are too young.

Admittedly, Ye Luo is very powerful.

But no matter how good he is, can he cover the whole stadium?

Now Manchester City scored first, and the initiative was suddenly in the hands of Manchester City.

The only regret is

Manchester United also took the lead.

Otherwise, in the real-time standings, Manchester City will reach the top.

Compared to Arsenal's players, Manchester City's players are much calmer, and they are the defending champions after all.

"Arsenal are behind?!"

When Ferguson got the news, there was a look of disbelief on his face.

"Where is the Premier League title so easy to get!" Ferguson whispered.

He immediately smiled: "Okay now, let's play the second half of the game with peace of mind!" ”

He sat in the coach's seat and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

Until the end of the first half, Arsenal could not get the score back.

Instead, it was Manchester City's several counter-attacks that made Arsenal a bogey.

The fatigue of Arsenal's players was evident in the first half.

The intensive schedule and high-intensity games of the Premier League have made Arsenal, which is obviously not as thick as Manchester City, Chelsea, or even Manchester United, feel huge pressure.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-1.

Arsenal, playing at home, are one goal behind Manchester City.

After a fifteen-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Arsenal, who had a fifteen-minute break, were apparently served by Arsene Wenger with a hairdryer at half-time.

So at the beginning of the second half, they pressed the attack aggressively and launched a fierce attack to equalize as soon as possible.

And it turned out

City counter-attacked again in the 53rd minute of the second half.

The ball was driven along the flank to the front of the pitch and in the box Aqua won the ball and played it back to David. Silva, Silva fired a low shot from the edge of the penalty area and slotted the ball into the goal.

"David. Silva!! Pretty!! Manchester City played a very fluid counter-attacking attack, and the Arsenal players were really out of form in this game, and they are now two goals down at home! ”

"This game could be a turning point in Arsenal's fortunes for the whole season, and if they lose this game, they will be overtaken at the top of the table and could slip down to third place. Weaknesses in the depth of Arsenal's squad were revealed in the mid-and-late stages of the season. This is the Premier League, this is the most competitive competition, this is the most crowded top-flight league, Yelo may be able to lead Malaga to La Liga, but can he lead Arsenal to the Premier League title alone? It's so hard! Maybe Arsenal have to make a choice, because the Champions League is just around the corner, Arsenal have to choose between the Champions League and the league, and their squad depth may not support them to go hand in hand in both competitions! ”

The televised broadcast gave several close-ups of the Arsenal players at this time.

Giroud's eyes were confused.

Koscielny crossed his hands on his hips and sweated like rain.

There are many more players who are at a loss and can't imagine themselves coming from two goals down at home to Manchester City.

'It's good that Arsenal's ferocious momentum can continue into their 20s, but with the intense fixture schedule that has been going on since December, they're finally starting to feel the pressure in the Premier League.

A commentator shook his head and said.

At this time.

The live TV screen played the real-time standings.

If you end these two games with the current score.

Arsenal will slip from top of the table to third, with Manchester United climbing to first and Manchester City second.

Mancini was not calm at all at this time.

Two goals ahead!

What does this mean?

It means that Manchester City can be relatively safe.

That means they are going to win this game!

Meaning they can see the hope of winning the league!

He raised his arms and shouted and hugged his assistants, and the City players on the bench rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with the rest of the players on the pitch.

There was a huge cheer at Old Trafford.

But at this point it was Chelsea who were attacking with the ball.

So.

Those who heard this immediately understood: Manchester City had scored again!

I really didn't expect it.

Manchester United's players will one day cheer for City's goal.

But now it's happening.

Because Manchester City's goal is good for Manchester United.

Pull Arsenal off the top of the table, Manchester United dominate the table!

The balance of league titles is beginning to tilt in favor of Manchester United!!

Ferguson also had a smile on his face.

"They're two goals behind!"

His assistant Phelan was excited.

Members of United's coaching staff had smiles on their faces.

It's not just because Arsenal are two goals down.

It's also because now Manchester United are in complete control of the tempo on the pitch.

Chelsea's attack could not threaten City's goal.

On the contrary, almost every counterattack by Manchester United has been a knife to the point.

After one or two more counter-attacks, it will not be difficult for United to score another goal.

"What now? We need to make substitutions. ”

Blake looked solemn.

"What should I do?" Arsene Wenger looked at the pitch and was silent for a moment.

"Let Wilshire warm up!"

"For whom?" Blake asked.

"For Giroud!"

Arsene Wenger looked back at the pitch.

Blake was stunned for a moment, then nodded and quickly went to warm up Wilshere.

When he returned, Arsene Wenger said: 'Giroud's role is a bit one-on, now we need to score!' ”

"Let Yelo play center! Get him closer to the opponent's goal! ”

Giroud's role is to be a bridgehead up front, using his body to help the strikers open up space and compete for headers.

But Ye Luo can do all of his roles, and he does it better!

In this case, Arsene Wenger's decision to replace Olivier Giroud for Wilshere and add an attacking midfielder who can feed Yelo with cannonballs also makes sense.

To some extent.

This substitution adjustment was indeed quite successful.

Because Wilshere's first touch of the ball after coming on the field, he actually assisted Yelo!

It was Cazorla who pulled to the side and crossed vigorously to the arc of the penalty area, Wilshere, who appeared in this area, subconsciously stuffed the ball in the direction of Yelo, Yelo went around Kompany, started to speed, and after catching up with the ball, he poked the ball with his toes, and stabbed the ball into the goal guarded by Joe Hart!

"Offside!!"

City's players raised their arms in the air.

But the referee blew the whistle and pointed to the centre circle.

The goal works!

Yelo also ignored the City players who raised their hands.

Whether there is offside or not is the work of the referee team to judge.

He just needs to celebrate after the goal.

When Ye Luo saw the football cross the goal line and the referee pointed to the center circle, he rushed into the goal, held the ball in his arms, and then turned around and ran towards the center circle.

He waved his arm and motioned for the Arsenal players to hurry back and restart the game.

Celebrate?

Now is not the time!

"Ye Luo!! Pretty!! He scored his 32nd goal of the season! Broke Cristiano. Ronaldo's record! Helped Arsenal equalize!! ”

"It was supposed to be a goal to celebrate, because of the break for Cristiano. Ronaldo's record does make a lot of sense, but Yelo didn't do it because Arsenal are still behind! ”

'Arsenal pulled a goal back, they're just one down now, and they still have hope that if they can equalise, at least they won't be too far behind Manchester United and will be able to retain second place in the league.'

Ye Luo just pressed the ball to the midpoint and signaled the somewhat depressed Manchester City players to hurry up and restart the game.

At this time, he waved his fist a few times at the stands, which was considered to be in response to the cheers of the fans.

The Emirates Stadium also shook again because of his action.

Loud cheers rang out from the audience.

It's not over yet.
