Strong Waist

Two goals behind made the already unfriendly Manchester City's form even more cruel.

For Manchester City, they urgently need some changes in the midfield.

In other words, play more actively.

Neither De Bruyne nor David Silva have that kind of hard work or that kind of straight-forward ability to push forward.

Sometimes simple advancement is not a bad thing. Compared with being cumbersome, Manchester City needs this kind of change today.

For this reason, Guardiola chose to make substitutions in the 32nd minute.

This is a last resort. If no substitutions are made, the game may really be over.

32 minutes.

Manchester City makes substitutions.

David Silva comes off and Foden comes on.

Foden, the crown prince of Manchester City, has almost the same status as Wilshere at Arsenal.

And compared to David Silva, Foden is younger and has a more intense sense of fighting in the midfield.

Fans who have watched Foden's game know very well that this guy really runs wildly throughout the game, and that hard work will give Manchester City a huge midfield bonus.

For this reason, Guardiola wants to use Foden's attributes to curb Arsenal's offense.

Foden was injured and came on the field. This young man who looked a little shy and had a short pot head ran onto the court with a solemn expression.

"Man City made a substitution and Foden came on as a substitute. Foden's performance last season was remarkable. As a young player, he did not want to be timid in the game like other young people, but showed very boldly. Himself, his hard work in the game is also obvious to all.”

"We hope he can solve Arsenal's midfield problems for Manchester City!"

Soon, the focus of the competition began.

City kicked off for the third time in the first half.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City encountered Arsenal's fierce pressing and was intercepted by Kante in the frontcourt.

Arsenal have the ball again.

Kanter originally wanted to slow down the rhythm a little and wait for the opponent to press the ball before passing it out.

But when he controlled the ball with his second kick, a figure was already attached to him.

"Foden! He directly entangled Kanter and engaged in a fierce confrontation!"

Under the camera, Foden pushed Kanter fiercely from behind, which made it difficult for Kanter to play the ball.

At the same time, Foden is also looking for opportunities to press.

He attacked Kanter again and again, trying to steal from all angles.

But Kanter protected the ball tightly and finally passed the ball to Jimenez.

However, Foden did not give up and rushed towards Jimenez again and continued to press.

Jimenez also moved quickly, and Foden continued to chase.

"After Foden came on the field, his pressing in the frontcourt became more intense, but for a young player, he should have this kind of hard work!"

Arsenal is conducting and Foden is still pressing.

When the ball came to Lucky's feet, a double-team formed between the two.

Foden and Bernardo Silva started pressing from both sides, but Lucky also reacted quickly. He quickly poked the ball out with his toes.

When the three collided, the ball had already been passed.

boom!

The two of them pressed hard on Lucai, knocking him so hard that he was in pain.

In particular, Lucky's elbow hit Foden's stomach. Normally he would scream and wail in this situation.

But Foden remained silent and turned around to continue running after the ball.

"Is this guy made of iron?" Lucky asked in shock.

On the other hand, Bernardo Silva on the ground grinned and shook his head slightly.

He knows very well that Foden is such a player, and his current appearance is not much different from his usual training matches.

This guy could easily be a troublemaker in the frontcourt.

Sometimes it can disturb oneself, and sometimes it disturbs the other party.

Now based on Foden's aggressive pressing, Arsenal's midfield rhythm is somewhat difficult to maintain.

Manchester City's form is starting to look a little better.

Soon after Arsenal was forced to move forward, Manchester City successfully completed the press.

After Debrane held the ball, he passed the ball directly to Foden.

Foden takes the ball with his back, and Kante is restricting him behind him.

Generally speaking, this situation should transfer, and Kanter thinks so too, so he focuses on interception anticipation on both sides.

But Foden took small steps, stepped on the ball, pulled it behind him, and turned around.

The two collided, and Foden began to push Kanter desperately, and was stunned from one side.

"Foden!

Get rid of it! "

Andy Gray shouted loudly.

After Foden got rid of the ball, he immediately moved forward. Based on Foden's break away, Manchester City also started to move forward in large numbers.

In an instant, Manchester City's offensive form became different.

However, when approaching the penalty area, Foden did not pass the ball and directly tried a long shot.

The kick was very strong, but the strike was too straight.

Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez easily scooped up the ground ball and threw it down to prevent the opponent from pressing.

Although Manchester City failed to score a goal, for them, this counterattack still brought very good results.

Even Andy Gray nodded; "That's right! Manchester City needs this straightforward and concise attack. When complex transmission and penetration cannot be effective, Manchester City must change their tactical intentions, and Foden became the Key role here!”

It has to be said that this stupid-looking guy caused an accident for Arsenal.

"My problem, I didn't expect him to just turn around!"

Kanter said a little depressed.

After all, in all these years of playing professionally, it is rare to encounter such a stupid guy.

But I have to say that Arsenal really likes this.

If you play a tactical game with me, Arsenal will not be afraid. Their defensive stability is very stable and they can use their tactics as they see fit.

On the other hand, this uncontrollable and direct approach gives Arsenal more of a threat.

"Keep the pace and keep the same tactics!"

Lucky reminded his teammates.

Foden has put a certain amount of pressure on Arsenal, but for them, compared to Foden, they cannot let De Bruyne go.

This is the potential biggest threat.

Once the attention is shifted from De Bruyne to Foden, De Bruyne is liberated.

This will give Arsenal a greater threat.

To put it bluntly, Foden is just a naive player. He cannot lead the whole team to threaten Arsenal's goal. He is just one person.

But De Bruyne is different. This guy's passing and offensive organization skills can maximize the abilities of Manchester City players.

For this reason, even if Foden performs very well, Arsenal will still not shift its focus.

On the field, Foden has become the main output point of Manchester City's offense.

His running in the frontcourt and defensive pressing after retreating gave Manchester City great support.

This guy is really good at running!

Not only can it run, but it's also very fast.

This caused some trouble for Arsenal.

Foden's presence has also made Manchester City's offense more threatening, with more corner kicks and set kicks.

"Guardiola's substitution played a very significant role, so we can't play the rhythm-stealing game in the midfield with Arsenal. They are very good at this. Although Manchester City's midfield ability is equally strong, in the overall situation and In a rhythmic confrontation, Arsenal still has the advantage!”

"For this reason, when Guardiola changed his tactics and made substitutions, Manchester City's offense became simpler and more effective because of Foden's presence!"

"This is just like the way Liverpool plays. Among the entire Premier League teams, Liverpool is probably the team that knows how to play Arsenal the best!"

Although Liverpool failed to win against Arsenal.

But many people believe that Liverpool is the only team capable of threatening Arsenal.

After watching the game between Arsenal and Liverpool, Arsenal faced the opponent's mad dog-like pressing and advancement.

After a period of forbearance, Arsenal will soon be affected by the opponent's rhythm, and then start a crazy counterattack.

In this case, Liverpool can also get more counterattack opportunities.

This game has a bit of that flavor.

Use Foden's attributes to interfere, guide Arsenal's mentality, and let the opponent increase the rhythm.

Arsenal have never been a good-tempered team.

Their attitude in the game is very tough.

But based on this toughness, they will not give up any points in the game.
