I'm a striker

Chapter 484 Offense and Defense
In the [-]-[-] season, in the first half of the FA Cup final, Arsenal and Manchester City drew [-]-[-].

During the intermission, both sides made some position changes and adjustments.

Mancini and Wenger clearly wanted to test each other out.

"Captain, why do you feel that you are not as excited as usual today?" Walcott and Song Rentou asked as they walked side by side in the player tunnel.

Song Rentou patted Walcott on the shoulder.

In fact, Song Rentou is not not excited, but has been suppressing his inner excitement.

"Really?" Song Rentou asked back.

"Well, in the past, if I passed you the ball, you would fight even if it was bad, but today you feel that if the pass is not good, you will not fight." Walcott said.

Song Rentou shook his head and stopped talking.

He is not not fighting, but waiting.

Just like when a hunter hunts.

The defenders of Manchester City also obviously noticed this point of Song Rentou.

"I feel that he is not in the best condition today." Kompany's remarks were recognized by his teammates.

After all, it seems unrealistic to maintain the best form in a long season.

"Then we can target other Arsenal offensive players when necessary." Said another Manchester City defender Sabaletta.

Kompany nodded.

The second half of the game restarted.

Along with Clattenburg's whistle, Wembley Stadium also sounded cheers from Arsenal fans.

Will the first championship in seven years belong to them?

"Sure enough, I still can't help it! Do you want to try to attack? Hehe, of course, this is the final, whoever scores first will have the absolute initiative!" Manchester, Alex Ferguson looked at the changes between the two sides and was also indifferent smile.

Obviously, Mancini wants to take a gamble.

And Wenger also wanted to take a gamble.

The rhythm of the second half was significantly accelerated, and the offenses of Arsenal and Manchester City were going to be faster.

"But this kind of time will test the concentration of the defender even more, because at this time, no one can afford to lose the ball!"

The beautiful scene also excited the fans who almost fell asleep.

Arsenal's offense is still organized by Ramsey. Walcott is a sharp knife, a sharp knife that can tear apart the opponent's defense. The speed up of Manchester City and Arsenal has led to more opportunities for Walcott. Some.

But just as Walcott thought, if the quality of his cross was not high, Song Rentou would not even bother to fight.

Although he felt a little lost in his heart, Walcott also had his own doubts...

Ten minutes into the second half, Walcott had three crosses, two of which were of poor quality.

Manchester City's defenders also felt that Song Rentou was "lazier" than usual today.

"It's so strange, this kid used to fight for every ball!" Kompany also drummed in his heart after another clearance.

And Arsenal's other offensive line is Cazorla. Unlike Walcott, the third brother with more comprehensive skills likes to cut inside.

Arsenal's two wingers gradually became active.

Mancini also shouted from the sidelines, reminding his players to pay attention to defense while attacking.

Manchester City's offense has also become active, Arsenal's offense has invested a lot of troops, David Silva's pressure has also been reduced a lot, this genius commander uses his back and forth to run back and forth to dispatch the team's offense.

In addition, Yaya Toure's forward penetration helped Silva pass a lot of balls...

"No, I'm afraid this guy is really out of shape!!" Kompany knew very well that if Song Rentou was in good shape, he would definitely run very actively at this time.

But not only did he not press too much on the Manchester City players in the backcourt, he even felt a little walking...

On Arsenal's bench, Arsenal's assistant coach frowned, "Boss, it feels like Song..."

Wenger nodded, "Although we don't know the reason, we can only trust him now...he is the captain of this team, and he is the team's reliance."

Wenger knew very well that even if Song Rentou's condition was really bad, he could not remove Song Rentou at this time.

Or should I put it this way, unless it is a special case, it is impossible for him to remove Song Rentou.

Because this season, Song Rentou has built a kind of trust in this team. His teammates trust him, the fans look forward to him, and the coaching staff relies on him.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the soul of this team.

Because he is indeed the soul of this team.

On the court, the wonderful offensive and defensive transitions of Arsenal and Manchester City brought the rhythm of the game to a flying start.

"Obviously, although the two teams have made sufficient preparations before the game, neither of them thought of taking a penalty kick at the end... because if a penalty kick is taken, it requires not only strength, but also some luck!" Sky Television, Gary Lineker commented.

At Wembley Stadium at this time, the duel between the two sides has entered a fierce stage.

Both Mancini and Wenger were very nervous, because they knew very well that the side that scored first in this game was tantamount to occupying a dominant position in this game.

But now the two sides are already kicking off a bit.

It's unbearable at this time.

Aguero became the focus of the court during this period. Under David Silva's threading and Dzeko's attraction, the Argentine winger used his amazing speed and explosive power to tear Arsenal's defense.

In the No.607 minute of the second half, Manchester City ushered in the best opportunity first!

This is Silva's central organization. The ball was initiated by Yaya Toure's steal...

David Silva's style is not to fight against you. Although this Spanish kid looks extremely thin, God knows how many strong and reckless men have suffered in front of him!
While Silva was dribbling to distance himself from Jilavoji who was defending him, he almost inadvertently made a through pass with his instep.

Aguero, who understands it, has already started!
In an instant, a huge hole was torn open in Arsenal's defense!

At Wembley Stadium, the hearts of all fans were raised to their throats.

Could it be Manchester City who scored first?
Aguero almost had a single-handed chance. Behind him, Koscielny raised his hand to signal, and after seeing that the lineman did not raise the flag, he took a step to chase back.

However, Aguero's speed is too fast and amazing!

Can't keep up!
Koscielny was left behind by Aguero!

Aguero's right foot volley!

At this moment, Szczesny's big heart saved Arsenal!
He stretched out his hand to block, and it was this block that changed the course of Aguero's shot. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced down, pressing on the goal line!
Szczesny, who reacted quickly, quickly pressed the ball under him.

At this time, Manchester City's players and Aguero are signaling that the ball has passed the line!
"Oh... It's time to test the referee and the fifth referee. The referees are communicating. We are also waiting for the slow-motion return. Did Aguero's shot cross the goal line?" Gary Lineker emotionally aroused.

A few seconds later, Clattenburg shook his head, indicating that the ball did not cross the line.

Although Manchester City's players were unrelenting, once the referee made a decision, there was no goal.

When recalling this goal in the future, Aguero himself regretted it very much, because it was really just a little bit short.

Aguero's shot was quickly shown in slow motion on Sky TV.

Facts have proved that the referee's penalty is correct.

Because the ball really didn't cross the line.

Or 80.00% of the ball has crossed the goal line!
But the gap of a few centimeters blocked Aguero's goal!

Arsenal escaped from life and death.

Wenger, who took a breath, wanted to replace Giroud to strengthen the offense, but gave up after thinking about it.

Mancini regretted that he was still complaining to the fourth official, but the fourth official ignored him.

The zero-to-zero score continued. At this time, on the court, Manchester City's aura had been played out by Aguero's shot.

Balance tends to be upset at the most delicate of times.

Because they felt that there was drama and opportunity, the hearts of Manchester City's players were suddenly raised.

Luck seems to be on Arsenal's side, but this escape mentality will also make Arsenal suffer passively on the field without knowing it.

"Wenger is still too conservative... They are best at fast breaks, alas, but the final does require more luck. If Aguero scored this goal, Wenger would have a headache. But what happened to Song... I feel He doesn't really seem to be in bad shape, but today he runs and holds the ball less than before." Alex Ferguson also became suspicious in his heart.

History tells Ferguson that it is absolutely not to believe that the opponent's ace player is not in good condition.

Unknowingly, when Manchester City pressed the attack, they seemed to have forgotten the magical Chinese kid they were most afraid of in the past...

"Fortunately, I won the bet." Song Rentou looked at Szczesny on the Arsenal defense line in the distance with some luck. In fact, Song Rentou was not in a bad state.

It's that Manchester City's defense against him today is too tight.

So he has to deliberately create that he is not in a good state, no, it is to slowly make the opponent forget about himself.

But it will take time, because he needs time, so before that, he can only entrust his fate to his teammates.

Fortunately, my teammates are very good.

"Wait a little longer..." Song Rentou knew that the time for himself to deliver the fatal blow had not yet come.

He still has a big move that he didn't use.

In order to prepare for this big move, he had to sacrifice his desire to attack, and even before that, he couldn't give this Arsenal enough help.

It's not just Song Rentou who is being tested now.

Even the Arsenal players believe in their captain!
It is obvious that the Arsenal players choose to believe in Song Rentou.

Even if he is not in good shape, he will definitely score goals, because he is our captain and the leader of our group!
So we have to defend desperately, how can we hand over the outcome of the game to our opponents before the captain scores?

Arsenal's line began to retreat. Although Manchester City gradually gained the absolute upper hand on the pitch, they were not at all relaxed...

The second half of the game has gone on to No. 80 minutes.

At this moment, Song Rentou finally completed his preparations.

The hunter's trap has been completed, and the next step is to wait for the trap to be triggered, and the prey will enter the trap by itself.

Because of the tense game, the head coaches of both sides did not make substitution adjustments.

No one seemed to notice that those sharp eyes of Song Rentou...

It's as if the hunter has locked his prey! !
