Strong Waist

The time has entered 40 minutes.

There are only 5 minutes left before the end of the first half.

This makes Manchester City even more anxious.

They want to get back the score before the end of the first half, and even if it doesn't work, they can get back a goal.

For this reason, their attack in the remaining five minutes became more intense, and they could be considered as vigorously attacking Arsenal's defense.

Arsenal, on the other hand, decided to play it safe.

For them, there is no need to go head-to-head with Manchester City. After all, under the current situation, they only need to hold on to the score to advance smoothly into the second half and continue to limit Manchester City with an advantageous situation.

Both sides have their own plans, and the format of the game has also become Manchester City's possession of more ball rights and offense.

Manchester City's offense is mostly based on Foden's advancement.

As soon as this guy gets the ball, he turns around and starts running.

He doesn't care whether his teammates can keep up. As long as he has a chance, he will hit the goal directly.

And with this stupid style of play, Haoxuan almost blasted Arsenal's goal with a few kicks.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Martinez's timely save, they would have been in danger.

"We can't completely ignore him!"

Hummels reminded from the backcourt: "His shots must be limited!"

He believed that Arsenal focused too much attention on De Bruyne, which resulted in Foden being completely unattended, which made Arsenal's defense a bit dangerous.

Once this guy gets within range, he's bound to shoot.

And the quality of the shot is very good. The most important thing is that this guy plays with confidence.

Lucky also felt something was wrong, and he also thought it was time to restrict Foden.

For this reason, Lucai began to position closer to the middle.

This gap in positioning was accurately felt by Bernardo Silva.

Seeing that he had an opportunity to break through on the wing, Bernardo Silva directly raised his hand to ask for the ball.

When the ball was transferred to his feet, Bernardo Silva started to drive forward.

With a violent kick, he started to attack Arsenal's penalty area wildly.

Lucky was unable to catch up immediately because he was positioned close to the middle. Even if he waited for him to catch up, he could not limit Bernardo Silva with his speed.

All the pressure came to full-back Robertson.

After two seasons of training, Robertson is also very experienced.

He sideways drove Bernardo Silva towards the wing and restricted his inward passage. If possible, he also wanted to intercept the cross.

Sure enough, Bernardo Silva started to pass the ball at this time.

Robertson immediately stretched out his foot to block it.

But Bernardo Silva dunked his foot, passed Robertson, and passed an inverted triangle pass.

The ball passed to De Bruyne who was advancing.

De Bruyne was flying quickly. He strode forward and directly raised his right foot to shoot.

At this moment, there was no interference from any Arsenal players around or in front of him, and he could finish the shot very comfortably.

"Danger! De Bruyne's shot"

Before he finished speaking, De Bruyne suddenly shot.

But at the moment he hit the ball, a figure suddenly slid over.

Lucky came out from the side and a sliding tackle limited the channels for shooting.

The ball hit Lucky's calf and flew towards the back point.

It was also at this moment that Lucai turned around and shouted anxiously; "Pay attention to the response!"

The ball landed just in front of Aguero at the forward point. The Argentine striker met the falling ball and stabbed it directly with his toe.

The shot was extremely fast and rolled into the goal from the side of Martinez's supporting foot.

In the 43rd minute, with only two minutes left before the end of the first half, Manchester City chased a goal back.

"Aguero scored with a poke! Manchester City successfully recovered a goal!"

"Of course, Bernardo Silva's inverted triangle pass from Bernardo Silva is very important for this goal. Although Kai tried his best to block it, he still could not reverse the fate of the ball rolling forward. Aguero's shot also failed. It was very exciting. The moment the ball hit the ground and bounced, he poked the ball directly with his toes. His whole leg did not swing much, but he quickly completed the shooting action, which made the goalkeeper Martinez completely unable to react. "

"After Manchester City made the substitution, Foden's advancement had a positive effect, and Manchester City successfully regained a goal!"

After scoring, Aguero was very excited.

The Manchester City players are also extremely excited.

Although they failed to equalize the score, their pressure was greatly reduced with this goal.

We are still one goal behind, but the overall situation is stable.

At the moment when the game was about to collapse, Manchester City survived it.

This goal also made Guardiola wave his arms vigorously on the sidelines.

This is an extremely crucial goal.

If they enter the second half with a two-goal deficit, their winning percentage may be as low as 10%.

But based on this goal and certain tactical changes, their winning rate has been greatly improved.

This is a valuable goal.

The Arsenal players also felt extremely sorry for this conceded goal.

But they were not discouraged. Despite some troubles, they still had great confidence in winning the game.

The last two minutes.

Manchester City's fierce scoring continued, while Arsenal stabilized the situation and successfully dragged the game into the second half.

After 45 minutes of play, Arsenal currently leads Manchester City 2:1.

Halftime.

The overall atmosphere in Arsenal's dressing room is quite positive.

"Manchester City wants to pull our midfielder's position as much as possible and then penetrate from the wing. If the midfielder cannot be restricted immediately, the full-backs need to be extra careful."

Mourinho looked at Robertson and said.

In the defense where the ball was lost, Mourinho believed that Robertson's defense was not resolute enough.

Of course, this does not mean to let him stretch his legs, but he must create an opportunity to steal, and no matter how bad it is, he cannot let the opponent pass the ball in an inverted triangle.

"You don't need to put too much defense on Foden, just limit it intentionally. Also, when Kanter is fighting, you have to be tougher!"

Mourinho believes Kante needs to be tougher in defense.

If Foden cannot keep up, fouling is not ruled out.

Kanter also nodded, he understood what Mourinho meant.

"Overall, our offensive performance in the first half was good, but we still have to stabilize our defensive problems. This is the key!"

Mourinho concluded and immediately signaled the players to rest.

On the other side, in the Manchester City dressing room, Guardiola was also arranging tactics for the second half.

"Arsenal is deliberately restricting De Bruyne and our passing attack. At this time, it is even more important to increase the width of the field. The goal in the first half is proof of this. But when we increase the width of the field, we will Get better offensive opportunities, and other players can also run into areas where they can create danger.”

After that, Guardiola looked at De Bruyne and said, "Your mission in the second half will not change. You have to remember that you are the hub of passing and the core of the team's offense. You must have a voice!"

De Bruyne nodded solemnly.

Immediately, Guardiola looked at Foden and said: "You performed very well in the first half, but your running was too blind. Sometimes you would retreat to our defense, but in fact, you There is absolutely no need to do that, you have to learn to observe more in the second half!”

Foden is a very good player, patient, hardworking and hardworking.

However, Guardiola hopes that the opponent will observe more instead of dribbling forward.

He has reminded him many times in this regard, but this guy just can't seem to learn to raise his head.

Usually he dribbles the ball with his head down, and either loses the ball or shoots himself.

He is unable to become a qualified midfield pacemaker.

For this reason, in Guardiola's selection, he is more of a surprise player than an important puzzle piece for the starting lineup.

Both sides are making adjustments for the second half.

Soon, the muster whistle came to mind.

This means the second half is about to begin.

When the players from both sides returned to the field and the game entered the second half, it also meant that the atmosphere became more intense.

Fans from both sides were cheering crazily, and the cheers also gave the players great motivation.

The Community Shield may not be that valuable, but for a game that can damage the opponent's morale, both Manchester City and Arsenal are very concerned about it.

After all, in the entire Premier League, these two teams are considered the seed teams with the most championship foundation.
