I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 322 Arsenal’s bitterness
"Gündogan's pass! Opportunity!"

"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Zhao Jinge! This is a volley like a heavy cannon! Cech was stunned! Such a close volley is too difficult to save!

This goal is indeed too difficult for the goalkeeper!
Zhao Jinge!It’s unimaginable that Zhao Jinge is the only one in the Premier League who dares to play like this!Hahaha!Still 100% decisive and confident! "

Andy Gray finished his explanation excitedly in one breath and had to slow down first.

Amid the roaring and shocking noise at the scene, Mustafi knelt on the turf and closed his eyes in pain, Gabriel pursed his lips and put his hands on his hips, saying nothing, while old Cech hit the door frame hard to vent his frustration!

At this moment, everyone on Arsenal's defense had different expressions of depression and anger, but then they all stared at Xhaka in unison, making the Swiss midfielder, who had only joined Arsenal four months ago, shrink back in glare.

Wenger stood on the sidelines rubbing his temples, then waved his hands and sat back on the bench with a final thought.

At that moment, he directly considered sending Xhaka back to the Bundesliga and buying a reliable midfielder!

But then he thought that the Swiss defensive midfielder had spent 500 million euros to sign this summer, and Wenger unconsciously loosened his clenched fists.

"Nowadays, good defensive midfielders are too expensive. Xhaka is capable. Let's see again in the winter window. We will see in the winter window!"

The professor, who was accustomed to living a hard life, finally chose to forgive Xhaka for his mistakes and planned to give this new player who spent a lot of money another chance.

And now that he is not needed, there is no one available. Ramsey is now pushed in the attacking midfielder position, and Kirkland has to play in the defensive midfielder for a while. At least for now, Xhaka is quite durable.

Wenger, who had calmed down, leaned on the coach's bench a little bit disappointed, having a headache because he didn't have a reliable and durable midfielder in his team.

Guardiola on the other side has a completely different face.

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, pumping his fist proudly and proudly to signal the audience to make more noise!

Naturally, the excited Manchester City fans would not refuse their head coach's request, and they all cheered and screamed at the top of their lungs!
Zhao Jinge didn't know whether he saw Guardiola's actions at the other end, or whether the master and apprentice had a clear understanding of each other. He made almost exactly the same moves as Guardiola did to encourage the fans, which also attracted an even more shocking and noisy wave of cheers!

Mane hung on his back, waving his arms excitedly. The other Manchester City players followed the roar and raised their fists, hugged tightly around Zhao Jinge, and celebrated this carnival with their God. moment!
Lineker, who was invited by Sky Sports today, also exclaimed and shook his head, constantly lamenting the momentum of Manchester City's home court!
Then he changed the topic and directly targeted Zhao Jinge.

"This goes back to the topic we just talked about. With such a Manchester City team and the devilish atmosphere at their home court, who else can compete with them in the Premier League today!?

I no longer want to say how outstanding Zhao is!His performance is absolutely crazy!He is simply superman!This description is a bit exaggerated, but please forgive me, I can't find any words suitable to describe Zhao!
He is a born conqueror!Looking at his current statistics, he has scored more than 20 goals before the season is even halfway through!This is simply incredible! "

Andy Gray had to smile to calm Lineker's excitement.

But in his heart, he actually thought about the same thing.

With such a large rotation, Manchester City is still able to defend impregnably, counterattack sharply and efficiently, and play as well as Arsenal, which is currently fifth in the league. This strength gap has been completely widened with other Premier League teams!
When returning to their own half, Zhao Jinge and Gundogan communicated. This scene often appeared in past games.

But at that time, Zhao Jinge seized the opportunity to communicate with De Bruyne, which turned into Gundogan. Fans and commentators were also very curious, wondering whether Gundogan would have a conflict with Zhao Jinge like Mr. Ding did. The spark of cooperation comes.

Guardiola stood on the sidelines and watched the actions of Zhao Jinge and Gundogan curiously.

The tactical weight he gave to Gundogan was not as great as De Bruyne's, but with Zhao Jinge, a guy who can tell the truth, the two of them might be able to do something good.

I just don't know if it will catch Wenger off guard or catch him off guard.

After muttering a few words on the sidelines, Guardiola finally decided to be patient and see what bad ideas Zhao Jinge was planning. After achieving good results, he said nothing. If something went wrong, he would I plan to show off my hair dryer skills during halftime.

The game soon restarted, and Wenger chose to speed up first. The Arsenal players on the field temporarily suppressed their nervousness and tried to penetrate Manchester City's defense from the wings and ribs.

After all, they played five midfielders today, and if the two defensive midfielders also press forward, they will at least have a numerical advantage in the midfield.

Needless to say technically, Walcott, Ramsey, Sanchez, and Cochrane all have the ability to penetrate with short passes and have a tacit understanding of coordination. The key lies in whether Xhaka can hold his own when switching from offense to defense. .

If he is stable, Arsenal can be patient and look for more opportunities on the offensive end. After accumulated attempts, there will always be one or two opportunities to penetrate into Manchester City's hinterland or even the penalty area.

But if he is still as unstable as he lost the ball just now, it will be difficult for Arsenal to play this game.

After all, no matter how lively you play on the offensive end, your midfield defense is like tissue paper and can be broken by your opponent with just one poke. If you still want to kick a hammer, go home and wash up as soon as possible!
The offensive players have not played the effect yet, the defensive line of the midfield is stabbed by the opponent three or two times, and they are behind by two or three goals, and the game is like this.

Therefore, the position of the midfielder is really crucial. Without a strong waist, the offensive and defensive rhythm is not on your side. When you press up to attack, you have to be cautious, for fear that the opponent will quickly pass the midfield to fight back.

From this point of view, Guardiola can be said to be far-sighted. When he first established the team, he focused on midfield control and defense. He was good at using a double midfielder combination when he first came to the Premier League. Until now, he has never worried about the problem of offensive and defensive rhythm. It's much easier to worry about than Wenger.

Wenger is now praying to God not to let Xhaka make another mistake!
There is no more reliable midfielder on Arsenal's bench. This thin midfielder line really cannot withstand the torment.

I don’t know if the old man’s prayer had an effect. In the next game, although Xhaka’s performance was not very impressive, he finally stabilized.

The Swiss midfielder completed his cleaning task conscientiously and kept an eye on Zhao Jinge no longer easily losing his position. This made Arsenal's frontcourt offensive players feel at ease and played at their own pace.

The two teams each found some opportunities in offense and defense. As soon as the intensity and rhythm of the game were raised, and there were more shots, the fans at the scene also became excited.

The Arsenal fans who came to watch the away game cheered up and kept cheering for their beloved team.Compared with the ineffective attack in the middle in the opening stage, Arsenal finally played some wonderful cooperation in Manchester City's rib area.

Although Giroud is a little lost under Kompany's marking, he has a thick body and can play as a pillar center without any problem.

Arsenal's flexible midfield group behind him took advantage of their technical advantages. Walcott and Sanchez each got a shooting opportunity. The situation gradually improved, and they were not overwhelmed by Manchester City like in the past. coming.

Guardiola frowned slightly, which cannot be said to be dissatisfied with the players in the rotation, but at least for now, it seems that this group of players still needs a lot of games to further adjust.

There is no problem with the operation of the system. On the defensive end, Fernandinho and Kompany also performed well. However, in the face of Arsenal's constant conduction tests, there will always be some defensive coordination between players. Small disconnects appear.

However, this kind of running-in cannot be rushed. After the winter break, there will be more games in the English League Cup and FA Cup, mainly playing in the league and the Champions League. These rotating players can use the opportunities of domestic cup matches to cooperate more.

Last season Mahrez and Mane also played with the main players for three or four months before they were fully integrated into the system. They all have to go through this process, which is normal.

In the middle and latter part of the first half, Arsenal and Manchester City went back and forth, and it seemed that the situation was gradually stabilizing.

When the time came to No. 40 minutes in the first half, the rhythm of the two teams gradually slowed down, and they were both used to conducting more for a while when they had the ball.

Mane didn't feel very satisfied with his performance today, and still actively retreated, trying to get more balls to find room for breakthrough.

Arsenal seems to have done a lot of research on Mane, and today they specifically asked Bellerin to limit the Senegalese star one-on-one.

Bellerin's restrictions in the first half were also quite good. The Spaniard, who performed exceptionally well, failed to allow Mane and Zhao Jinge to establish several effective connections.

If it were David Silva or Sterling, they would definitely actively seek to cooperate with the full-backs and midfielders in passing, and even call Zhao Jinge to come over to respond.

But Mane Xian wants to use his speed to tear apart his opponent.

He was full of fighting spirit and tried to successfully defeat Bellerin again and again. No matter how many times he failed, he did not feel discouraged.

The team was leading, and Zhao Jinge was not worried. He generously gave up the ball and allowed Mane to play on the wing.

However, Zhao Jinge is patient now, but the entire Manchester City team cannot always revolve around Mane.

At the 403rd minute of the first half, Gundogan faced another retreat from Mane and asked for the ball. He first led the ball close, but he did not give the ball to Mane like he did several times before.

He kept observing the movements of the offensive players in front. When Zhao Jinge retreated and pulled in front of Kirkland, Gundogan decisively chose to kick and send a long pass!

This long pass was very stable, and Zhao Jinge shouted in his heart, turning his back to block Kirkland's possibility of going around to defend.

When he caught a glimpse of David Silva and Sterling advancing forward from the corner of his eye, he didn't hesitate and directly chose to header the ball!
The ball went in the path of David Silva. David Silva was just as fast and was about to collide with Gabriel who was saving, causing fans from both sides to scream in surprise!
But Xiwa was indeed a Xiwa. He had no intention of stopping the ball at all. He stretched his body in the air and knocked the ball towards Arsenal's penalty area with his thigh!Completed a header relay before colliding with Gabriel!
Mustafi cursed in his mind and quickly turned towards Sterling, who had inserted himself behind Arsenal's defense.

At this moment, Sterling has shaken off Arsenal full-back Monreal and is rushing towards the football that jumped into the Arsenal penalty area!

Manchester City's counterattack this time is very special. Zhao Jinge and David Silva acted as two transfer stations. The football started from Gundogan's feet and ended with David Silva knocking the ball in the air. It has never fallen from the sky!
Simple and efficient, even if Teacher Ding is not on the court and Zhao Jinge is partnered with Gundogan and David Silva, they can still use their respective characteristics to produce the same sharp counterattack!
The Manchester City fans were obviously excited. They made huge cheers and stared closely at Sterling, who had already touched the ball in the Arsenal penalty area, not wanting to miss a moment of what might happen next.

However, Sterling did not shoot directly with his feet like Zhao Jinge did in this situation.

He neither shot nor stopped the ball to waste time, but just passed the ball and continued to carry it forward, not giving Mustafi a chance to destroy it, and forcing Mustafi to follow him to the baseline. !

Almost close to the baseline, Sterling completed the pass half a step ahead of Mustafi!
A backward-spinning half-high ball was not given to David Silva, who had already run to the front point, nor to Mane, who had already run to the back point and was about to complete the grab. Instead, it was passed to the center of the penalty area. Location!

A tall figure withstood the pressure of Gabriel's confrontation and strode towards the landing point of the football. It was Zhao Jinge!

He raised his arm, not only to avoid Gabriel's interference, but also to maintain his body balance. He faced the incoming ball and took off his foot without adjusting the shot!
Old Cech gritted his teeth and prepared to pounce on the near corner.

Zhao Jinge loved volleying in the penalty area so much. He had been humiliated by Zhao Jinge again on the previous ball. He no longer hesitated with this ball and rushed to the near corner position where Zhao Jinge was most likely and favorite to hit!

"Oh? Rub and shoot! Zhao actually chose a rub and shoot this time?! Cech was deceived! Beautiful rub and shoot from the far corner!

This seems to be Zhao's first goal in the Premier League this season. Before, I wondered if Zhao had forgotten that he still had the ability to shoot!
For Zhao, who has no reverse foot and is proficient in shooting, he really has too many ways to deceive the goalkeeper in the penalty area!

Poor Cech, he became the backdrop for this wonderful goal! "

Andy Gray explained in surprise Zhao Jinge's slightly "elegant" goal.

This shot was very beautiful, it was easy and it deceived the old Cech. It can be regarded as a model of a forward's non-adjusted shot in the penalty area.

But compared with Zhao Jinge's last goal in this game, the two goals are completely two extremes in style!
Zhao Jinge himself seemed proud of having deceived the old Cech. He happily ran towards the corner kick with his hands raised. This scene would make countless Premier League goalkeepers angry.

But at this moment Manchester City fans are just proud of their young king!

A capable player is qualified to make such a bold attempt!
Zhao Jinge can always do things that other forwards can't do. This is his skill!

For a moment, everyone at the Etihad Stadium cheered, and the sadness that belonged to Arsenal slowly flowed again!
