Strong Waist

"Giroud! Turn and shoot!

Morais flew to save the ball!

Paul Mossen cheered loudly, then shook his head and said, "This shot was wonderful. Giroud was very decisive. He turned and shot directly. The angle was also very tricky, but Morais was very focused and saved the ball at the moment of shooting!"

"Manchester City should be careful of Arsenal's sudden attack. Kai is very good at this kind of penetrating pass. He can directly send the ball to the dangerous area or even the center forward's feet. At that time, the center forward can directly shoot!"

This shot scared Manchester City.

They didn't expect Arsenal's attack to be played in such a simple way.

This time, they didn't even break through to the two wings, but directly completed the shot with a strong central axis.

In particular, Lekai's pass posed too much threat to them. If it happened a few more times, Manchester City would really not be able to bear it.

"Come on! Focus!"

As the captain, Kompany was also constantly boosting morale.

Arsenal's corner kick.

Lekai did not enter the penalty area, but waited for an opportunity at the top of the arc.

But due to the threat of Lekai, there are still people who are dedicated to defending Lekai.

The two of them are also constantly pushing.

However, compared with Lekai, the defense against Giroud is more stringent.

Giroud and Kompany pushed each other again and again, and both of them started to push, for which the referee warned several times, and then the corner kick was successfully taken.

At the moment of the penalty kick, Lekai swayed forward, trying to get rid of the defense.

But the opponent didn't buy it at all, simply ran towards Lekai and hugged him directly.

Lekai tried his best to break free, but failed to break free, and finally both of them fell in the penalty area.

Arsenal's corner kick was also destroyed by the opponent and flew directly out of the sideline.

"Manchester City's defense in this game was more active, and the pressing was more fierce, but there were many restrictions on the ball!"

Manchester City has always been a ball-control team.

But in this game, based on Arsenal's early continuous advancement, they could only be forced to defend, so it was difficult to maintain the rhythm in the midfield.

After Arsenal kicked the ball out from the sideline, Leka stopped the ball steadily at his feet.

When Mahrez rushed to steal the ball, Leka pulled up and turned around, pushed Mahrez behind him, and passed the ball to Kante.

Kante touched the ball and passed it to Wilshere, completing the transition from left to right.

Wilshere dribbled forward for a distance and found that the opponent's defense was too dense, so he transferred the ball to the wing again.

Aubameyang had no idea of ​​stopping the ball this time, but faced the ball and completed a big transfer directly.

The ball flew at a very fast speed and did not fly high. Dembele looked at the ball and could only stop the ball with his chest.

However, the force of the pass was too great, and the ball could not control the force and fell one meter away from the body.

This stopping distance is not enough to protect the ball in a professional stadium.

Kyle Walker saw the opportunity and poked the ball out.

The ball was taken over by Mahrez in front, and Manchester City finally got the ball.

"For three full minutes, Arsenal has been in control of the ball, and now Manchester City has finally got it back. Let's see how they will attack next?" Seeing Manchester City get the ball, Guardiola on the sidelines also slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason is that Arsenal pressed too hard, and Manchester City's offensive could not be carried out without the ball. Now that they have the ball, it's easy to deal with. Mahrez did not think about breaking through directly, but passed the ball back and reorganized. At this time, the Arsenal players also retreated quickly, without any nostalgia for the previous offensive situation. This is Arsenal's discipline. Attack when it is time to attack, and defend when it is time to defend. Everyone acts in unison. The ball is at David Silva's feet, and he is also advancing the attack through the continuous running of his teammates around him. But when the ball is about to cross the center circle, they encounter Arsenal's fierce pressing. This time, Arsenal pressed high, but started to exert pressure near the midfield line. This can preserve some physical energy. David Silva tried to pry open Arsenal's defense while passing the ball.

However, Arsenal's defense and position shift were too fast. Even if he had a chance, he could hardly react. Even when he wanted to pass the ball there, Arsenal players had already completed the defense.

In the final analysis, David Silva still hasn't done this kind of work for too long, which makes him not very sensitive to gaps and gaps.

In addition, Arsenal's defense is too good, not giving David Silva this kind of penetration opportunity.

In the case of being unable to advance, the situation gradually stalemated.

Mahrez began to retreat and cruise towards the middle, which was to help David Silva handle the ball and also to help the team organize the offense.

In the Leicester City period, Mahrez did this kind of work. Compared with pure winger, Mahrez's work was more about integrating the midfield and helping to pass the ball.

Of course, his shooting and dribbling skills are also good.

But it depends on who he is facing.

Mahrez was facing Lukay on the right wing, so he didn't dare to try to break through easily. Once Lukay intercepted the ball, it would be Arsenal's counterattack.

They couldn't stand this kind of counterattack a few more times.

For this reason, Mahrez prefers safety when handling the ball, but when others do the same, it becomes even more difficult for Manchester City's offense to break through.

At this time, the side effects of the lack of De Bruyne became apparent.

"Manchester City plays too conservatively. Many times they have opportunities, but they don't dare to pass the ball towards that position for fear of being intercepted by Arsenal. But the more this happens, the more Arsenal will defend and press!"

"Man City were almost forced out at half-time!"

Arsenal were not only defending but also pressing.

They are forcing Manchester City out of their own half little by little.

Looking at the constantly compressed passing space, Manchester City also understands this problem.

David Silva roared for this.

"Jesus!"

After that, he directly raised his feet and hoisted into the penalty area.

Jesus rushed towards the landing point, but he was blocked by Jimenez after just a few steps. The two immediately confronted each other, and neither could do anything to the other.

The ball was easily held in the arms of goalkeeper Martinez.

Manchester City's attack finally came to an end this way.

Seeing this, Manchester City fans felt a little bad.

Because the situation began to tilt towards Arsenal, even the rhythm of ball control that they were proud of was robbed of a lot by Arsenal.

In this case, how do they deal with Arsenal's successive counterattacks and attacks?

As soon as I thought of this, Arsenal's attack came.

And it came extremely quickly.

Martinez drove directly to the frontcourt with a big kick. After Giroud stopped the ball against Kompany, he waited for his teammates to come forward.

At this time, five Arsenal players were involved in the attack.

Giroud resisted the pressure and passed the ball to Wilshere. Wilshere did not stop the ball and directly broke through the ball.

After picking up speed, Wilshere began to get through the narrow slit.

Gundogan and Zinchenko wanted to close the door and defend, but Wilshere reached the ball early, accelerated again, and rushed between the two.

"Wilshere!

Breakthrough!

"

Seeing Wilshere rush into the opponent's penalty area, the Arsenal fans in the entire Wembley Stadium couldn't calm down, and they cheered fiercely.

In the cheers, Wilshere passed the ball in an inverted triangle. The ball came to Lucky's feet. Lucky shot in sheep's clothing. After deceiving the opponent's central defender to block it, he dunked his feet to open up the gap.

Immediately, he exerted force on his waist and abdomen, rotated his right leg, and suddenly drew the ball.

The ball showed a small arc, bypassed central defender Laporte, and flew quickly towards the goal post.

With a ding sound, the ball hit the goal post, flew sideways, and then hit the feet of Moraes, who couldn't react in time, and rolled into the goal.

In the 26th minute, Arsenal took the lead in scoring.

Lucky completed a volley in the penalty area.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

!

"

"Kay!

!

Arsenal scored first!

Kai's shot was very powerful and came from a tricky angle. After it bounced off the goal post, it hit goalkeeper Moraes' ankle and entered the goal. "

"Manchester City failed to react during the whole process!"

"This is Manchester City's problem! If they can't control the ball in the midfield and maintain the rhythm of possession, they will be quickly thrown away by Arsenal and need to withstand intense defensive pressure!"

"And in the end, Arsenal scored in the 26th minute and blasted away Manchester City's goal!"
