Chapter 16 Breaking the Manchester City goal again

In the second half of the game, Manchester City still continued the tactics of the first half. Foden ran wildly throughout the field, sniping at Arsenal's transmission, and on the other hand, he was also creating a space for his teammates to attack.

But unlike the first half, Foden clearly felt more pressure when he turned to attack.

Kanter no longer allowed him to do whatever he did in the first half. The moment he held the ball, he was already closing in on him and putting pressure on him.

Foden is very fast, but when Kanter gets close to him at the first moment, it is not easy for Foden to get rid of him.

In most cases, Kanter is able to rely on his experience to limit.

Even if he was passed by the opponent a few times to cooperate with two-on-one, the teammates behind him could make up for it in time.

Arsenal will not let Manchester City advance the attack like they did in the final period of the first half, and all they need to do is strengthen the midfield confrontation.

Eriksen lost his voice slightly during this period, mainly due to the fierce pressing of the opponent.

Eriksen is not particularly accustomed to this kind of high-intensity confrontation. During his Tottenham days, he was prone to doing this kind of thing.

In Arsenal, even with the support of his teammates, he did not dare to hold the ball too much to get rid of it.

The central and frontcourt positions do not hold the ball, which puts greater pressure on the defensive midfielders.

However, Lucky has begun to take on more ball-holding and organizational work.

"pass it to me!"

After passing the ball, Lucai walked around to another gap and immediately signaled the pass.

The teammates passed it without thinking.

Even if there is someone behind Lucky.

Lucky faced the ball, stepped forward to distance himself, and then knocked the ball to Kanter behind him with his left foot.

After passing the ball, Lucky acted like a running player and once again found space to catch the ball.

With repeated runs and passes, Arsenal's midfield and frontcourt were connected again.

Even if Eriksen loses his voice, Arsenal still has Lucky.

Eriksson also knew that he had a lineout problem, so he ran even harder and pressed for the ball.

Even if you can't provide much help in the offense, you must at least actively participate in the defense.

This is the attitude given by Erikson.

"Eriksson's run-in with Arsenal was not particularly good. His performance in the first half was very good, but he was quickly pressed by Manchester City. Faced with this kind of pressure, Eriksen started to make mistakes again. Something's wrong!"

Andy Gray shook his head slightly.

He hopes Eriksen will play more confidently and be tougher.

In this way, the team can achieve a better offensive rhythm, but things like personality are difficult to change.

Even if Eriksson is aware of this, he will subconsciously pass back safely.

Compared to Lucky who actively seeks confrontation, Eriksen plays football while avoiding the opponent.

This also led to Arsenal's rhythm in the midfield being gradually stripped away.

If Lucai had not intervened in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Lucky naturally stood in front, while Eriksen also dropped back to cover the defense.

Facing Manchester City's fierce pressing, Lucky still played calmly, sometimes moving and sometimes waiting with the ball.

Many times, Manchester City will increase their physical confrontation in order to grab the ball and want to give Lucai more pressure.

But even if they strengthened their confrontation, it was still difficult for them to steal the ball from Lucky.

This makes Manchester City feel quite depressed.

"Kai is still in such great shape!"

Watching Lucky become the pillar of Arsenal's midfield and perform brilliantly on both offense and defense, Andy Gray couldn't help but admire him.

"Kai is Arsenal's biggest insurance device!" Richard also nodded: "When Arsenal encounter difficulties, they always give the ball to Kai to handle it, and Kai will not let his teammates Disappointing, because of this ability, Arsenal’s midfielder rarely suffers!”

"Eriksson needs to learn this decisiveness and self-confidence from Kai, only in this way can he break through his limits."

During the game, Lucky kept running in the midfield area, maintaining Arsenal's rhythm.

During this period, he would also encounter pressure from the opponent, but Lucky was always able to pick the ball out of the dangerous area and pass it to a safe teammate.

To maintain their possession of the ball.

Even if he is robbed, Lucky will immediately engage in the counter-attack. Driven by Lucky, other Arsenal players are also very active in pressing.

Manchester City's influence based on Foden's presence in midfield is slowly fading.

At the same time, Arsenal began to invest more in proactive offensive advancement.

Seeing this scene, commentator Andy Gray said with emotion: "Arsenal gives us some surprises every season, and in this game, the biggest surprise they gave us was their proactive aggression."

Richard; "Arsenal rarely took the initiative to attack last season. Most of their goals were obtained through defensive counterattacks. But this season, they are not so impatient. Even in difficult situations, they do not use head-to-head fierceness." Counterattack, but using the space of the court, changes in rhythm and frequent movements to reverse the situation. Rather than talking about growth, I always feel that the word 'control' is more appropriate. "

Andy Gray nodded; "Yes! If Arsenal can win this game, it will prove that Arsenal's dominance of the Premier League and even the Champions League continues so far."

As soon as he finished speaking, on the court, Lucky pulled the ball and turned around. After creating a gap for passing, he passed the ball in sheep's clothing, but there was a dunk at his feet.

This dunk allowed him to get rid of Gundogan's restrictions, and then Lucky directly stuffed the ball diagonally forward.

Aubameyang moved forward at full speed to chase the ball.

In an instant, Arsenal's attack from the wing opened up.

"Aubameyang gets the ball, is he going to cross?"

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Aubameyang began to shake left and right, trying to attract the opponent to stretch his feet and take the opportunity to get rid of him.

But Zinchenko is also experienced and will not be fooled at all. He lowers his center of gravity and stands sideways to avoid being penetrated by Aubameyang, and at the same time he can start quickly.

Aubameyang had no chance to get rid of the opponent, so he could only give it a try.

He spiked the ball to the right and started immediately.

He wanted to use explosive power to get rid of Zinchenko, but the opponent also reacted quickly, and when he was about to pass the ball, he immediately stretched out his feet to block it.

Seeing the opponent stretching his foot, Aubameyang was delighted. He stepped on the ball with one foot and pulled it back. A V-shaped pull made him easily shake off Zinchenko and be able to face the goal. .

At this time, Aubameyang is on the left side of the goal.

Closer, goalkeeper Moraes watched eagerly.

Giroud in the middle was tightly guarded by the opponent's two central defenders, and Mane at the back was not yet in place.

In a fleeting opportunity, Aubameyang chose to go it alone.

He whipped the ball directly towards the goal, aiming at the far top.

But faced with this kind of shot, Manchester City goalkeeper Moraes easily held the ball out with one hand.

The ball hit Moraes' palm and was lifted out of the penalty area.

From the distance it flew, you could understand how powerful the ball was. Moraes felt his right hand shaking.

But Moraes had no time to cry out in pain.

The ball was dragged out, but by chance, it happened to be dragged in front of Lucai.

Moraes made a save.

At this time, Lucai faced the falling ball and made a shot.

The moment the ball hit bottom and rebounded, Le Kai volleyed violently.

The foot hit the ball firmly. The ball was very powerful and flew straight towards the goal.

Moraes watched the ball flying towards him. He was already ready to hold the ball. He thought that Lucky did not grasp the angle of this shot.

But at this moment, the ball suddenly drew a strange arc toward the left.

Although it is a very small arc, it is difficult for Moraes to make a save when he has already established his position.

Finally, he stretched out his left hand again, trying to hit the ball.

But when the ball hit his hand, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The next second, the ball flew into the goal.

In the 67th minute, Arsenal once again scored Manchester City's goal with Lucky's long shot.

The score was also stretched to a 3:1 lead by Arsenal.

And this goal also caused Wembley Stadium to burst into violent cheers again.
