Chapter 418 Semifinals!Manchester City!

Run to the corner flagpole for a signature celebratory move!

Chen Yuyuan once again showed his free kick skills. Now Middlesbrough is in a dilemma. There is no way to win by continuing to coach the tactics. Will they continue to persist?
The combination of Laurent Koscielny and Virgil van Dijk was impenetrable and Arsenal's fluid attack could only be interrupted by a barrage of savage fouls!

Not long after this goal, Granit Xhaka received a yellow card for a malicious foul. Seeing the opponent fell to the ground in pain, he even spit out a mouthful of saliva!
If it weren't for the pleas of other players, this restless player might have received a second yellow card and was sent off directly!

In the 44th minute, Friend won a free kick on the left wing for Middlesbrough.

The situation of the two teams on the field began to reverse. When Middlesbrough was eager to attack and tie the score, Arsenal's players began to toughen up!

This is what Arsenal players will not do in the first two seasons!

Facing other people's malicious fouls, they are either emotionally broken, angry, or weak!

Unlike now, hardness and softness are combined!
At the end of the first half, after the midfield adjustment, Middlesbrough told everyone with practical actions that they still did not give up!
Adama Traore, a man with a strong body and extremely fast speed, broke Messi's record of jumping the ball!He caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal on the pitch!

Middlesbrough called it the second "Chen". They believed that there was no difference between Traore and Chen Yuyuan, and both had the advantages of being successful!
Because of Chen Yuyuan's birth, Barcelona also intends to bring this player back to Camp Nou!

In the 48th minute, Ramsey broke the ball out of the baseline and Middlesbrough won a corner kick.

Middlesbrough fans in the stands wept with joy!

This is the team's hope of staying in the Premier League!
They don't want to go back to the Championship!
Adama Traore rushed to the sidelines. This varnished guy is quite popular with fans!
Arsene Wenger looked at Adama Traore with a gleam of light in his eyes. There seemed to be no major problem with this player as Chen Yuyuan's substitute!

Chen Yuyuan scored twice and broke the league scoring record once again!

After scoring the goal, Chen Yuyuan did not run to the corner flagpole immediately, but pointed to Alex Iwobi on the bench!
There is no problem with the opponent's experience. As long as he moves actively, Oliver Giroud will always fail to score!
In the 79th minute, De Jong was replaced by Gerstead of Middlesbrough.

In the 81st minute, after receiving a pass from Sun Xingmin, Oliver Giroud seemed to understand the interaction between Chen Yuyuan and Alex Iwobi, eager to prove himself, and shot with his left foot in the center of the penalty area!
Chen Yuyuan was still running diligently, but it was a pity that the ball flew out of the upper left corner of the goal, and there was no chance for him to make a follow-up shot!

Shortly thereafter, Arsenal launched an offensive again. After receiving a pass from Ramsey, Oliver Giroud took a left-footed shot from outside the penalty area and the ball missed the left post.

Iwobi glanced at Giroud regretfully, as if to say, you are on time!
You don't need to score goals, just let others get rid of it!

Middlesbrough had 8 shots, 5 shots on target, 35.2% ball possession, 2 corner kicks, 8 free kicks, 308 passes, 27 steals, 3 offsides, and 23 fouls.

Only four days after this game, Arsenal will compete with Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals. As long as they eliminate each other, the winner will have a final battle with the winner between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea!

England's FA Cup is a single-round match system!

It is also commonly known as a win or lose!

Before the game, Josep Guardiola was very humble: "Arsenal is a team with a long history. They have performed very well this season, but Manchester City also needs a championship to be worthy of the team this season. We will not give up lightly!"

There is nothing wrong with the words, but Josep Guardiola's expression at the time looked very strange, with a bit of sadness!

Arsene Wenger reciprocated, and the answer was also very friendly: "Guardiola is an excellent coach. The miracle of the Triple Crown he created in Barcelona has always made me yearn for it. In this game, Arsenal will do their best. Go!"

Many fans are speculating that this game will be an abnormal "Enter the Dragon"

It can be shown that it is often more cruel than imagined!

In Manchester City's main lineup, in the goalkeeper position, Claudio Bravo's name is suddenly on the top!

In the game, he did not live up to his nickname!
Arsenal basically settled the fight in the first half!

In the first half, Arsenal, who were fully fired, got 9 shots, 5 shots on target, and 5 goals!
Chen Yuyuan completed a hat-trick, Giroud and Sun Xingmin both got rain and dew!

Arsene Wenger was not excited on the sidelines anymore, but was a bit weirdly "embarrassed". He looked at Josep Guardiola on the sidelines, as if saying, there is something wrong with your goalkeeper!

Josep Guardiola's expression is very peaceful!

Tired, destroy it!
