Chapter 1396 Long Transfer
Manchester City intends to dominate the rhythm, and even if they cannot do this, they will never let Arsenal benefit from the midfield.
For this reason, their performance under the attack is extremely fierce.
With each pass, the offensive rate is getting faster and faster, and the transfer rate is also dizzying for the fans on the scene.
After a brief press by Arsenal, they quickly stopped and began to retreat and form a defensive formation.
Manchester City was obviously prepared. Under their high pressure, although a little staggered, they pushed the ball forward very solidly.
Arsenal dare not put the defense too far forward, once they are hit behind, they will play very uncomfortable.
For this reason, they took the initiative to retreat and shrink the defense line, further squeezing Manchester City's shooting danger area, and at the same time slowly looking for opportunities to disrupt the opponent's attack.
Arsenal is still very patient.
Lucky is also in the process of defending, constantly moving towards the middle area. On the one hand, it limits Arsenal's advancement on the central axis, and on the other hand, it can also support teammates.
At the same time, Lucky is also marking his own area, and he observes every move of Sterling.
However, Sterling was too careful when facing Lucky's defense, so he lacked bold previous dribbling in many cases. If he could play more resolutely, Lucky might have to give up the central axis area and go back to the main line. Guard your own area.
But obviously, Sterling did not put enough pressure on Lucky.
The narrators also saw this problem.
"Sterling's kick was too soft!"
Kompany frowned first to question.
Richard on the side also nodded and said: "Sterling's performance will be greatly reduced when facing Arsenal, especially Kay, and the same is true in this game."
"After all, it is Sterling's nightmare. In the long-term game, Sterling has some kind of psychological barrier to Kay, which also prevents him from breaking through Kay's defense."
Andy Gray also nodded.
Even Henry said: "As a striker, when he is afraid of the opponent's defensive player, this in itself shows that either the opponent's ability is too strong, or the opponent will play tricks. From the technical point of view of Kay, Obviously the former!"
Henry said with a smile.
Regarding Lucky's performance at Arsenal, Henry maintained an attitude of absolute appreciation.
Facing Lucky's defense, any striker would feel a headache. Even when Henry faced Lucky at his peak, he couldn't find a good way to break through except for speed.
Lucky's grasp of defensive timing and steals is too accurate. This also leads to the fact that once the speed slows down and a close one-on-one situation is formed, Henry cannot guarantee whether he will lose the ball.
And this is also reflected in Sterling.
The game passed minute by minute, and Manchester City was still attacking, but could not find a chance to score.
This is also extremely uncomfortable for them.
Facing Arsenal's drive near the penalty area, it is difficult for them to get into it.
Gabriel Jesus ran hard, often pulling back to create gaps for them, but when their forwards advanced, Arsenal could also quickly make up defenses.
This makes people very uncomfortable.
Guardiola on the sidelines kept looking at the time, his expression was a little anxious, he knew very well that compared to Arsenal, Manchester City is a team that is closer to attacking, and they need more opportunities Come get the shot moment.
But the current situation is driven by Arsenal, it is difficult for them to get a good shot.
After losing these opportunities, as time goes by, the situation will slowly tilt towards Arsenal.
It cannot be delayed for too long, and the goal must be scored first.
Guardiola shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Press up! Go forward decisively and make more set kicks!"
The Manchester City players heard that they also knew the intention of the head coach, but it was very difficult to execute.
David Silva kept moving the ball to the sides, but he was positioned close to the left and he didn't want to go to the right.
But under the current situation, he has to carry more pressure.
When David Silva came to the right, Lucky was standing not far from him.
Seeing Lucky's eyes, David Silva became a little nervous.
At this time, Eriksson was already approaching. Facing the pressure, David Silva ran forward decisively after passing the ball towards Sterling, trying to catch the ball in neutral.
But to his surprise, Eriksson did not retreat but advanced, and he took the initiative to follow up, completely refusing to give them any chance to catch the ball.
The passing line was blocked, Sterling turned around with the ball, and he immediately saw Lucky in front of him.
After subconsciously protecting the ball, Sterling wanted to pass back at this time.
But Lucky's approach was fast, and at the same time, other Arsenal teammates blocked the passing line in this area in an instant.
Sterling is isolated!
At this time, he can only use his ability to pick the ball out.
But in the next second, he felt a huge force coming from his shoulder. Under this force, his body began to tilt forward uncontrollably.
The ball protection under the feet is no longer stable.
When he waded the ball, the kick was too hard and the ball went out of control.
"Oops!"
Sterling snorted secretly.
When he was about to start, he suddenly felt a pulling force coming from behind, which hindered his starting speed.
Lucky, on the other hand, secretly grabbed the corner of Sterling's clothes, pulled back to prevent the opponent's advance, and at the same time took over the control of the ball by himself.
"Kay got the ball!"
Andy Gray exclaimed.
At this time, Le Kai strode the ball directly and attacked forward.
On the other hand, Eriksson is filling the position for Lucky, and the moment of counterattack cannot be delayed, and Eriksson cannot wait for him to move forward.
The opportunity to attack is also fleeting. For this reason, Le Kai's advance is very resolute.
At the same time, seeing Lucky start, the Arsenal players also switched from defense to offense in an instant.
Lucky looked up and saw that there were people beside Mane and Giroud, while Saka, who was farther away, advanced.
Lucky adjusted his pace and made a direct long pass to transfer the offensive side.
The ball drew an arc obliquely and flew in front of Saka.
The ball landed just right, Saka adjusted his pace easily, and then unloaded the ball with his arch.
When unloading the ball, he also made an inward cut. After shaking Manchester City's full-backs, he dunked again with his feet and pulled out half of his body.
This position is enough to complete Saka's cross.
Saka made a decisive cross.
The ball was hit hard, and it slowed down slightly with a hint of spin.
For this reason, when Giroud jumped into position, there was even a little time to adjust.
Giroud used his broad back to block the Manchester City defender, and at the same time used the arch of his foot to guide the ball towards the goal.
Even Manchester City goalkeeper Morais couldn't make any effective saves in the face of such a close-range shot.
The ball is accurately inserted into the small right corner.
In the 28th minute, Arsenal finally got the leading goal by relying on the transition of offense and defense, and relying on Lucky's wonderful steal + offensive initiation.
This goal appeared very suddenly. As the defensive side, Arsenal seized the opportunity to counterattack. In the few shots, they took the lead in breaking the goal and scored.
And this goal also gave Arsenal the initiative in the game.
When they saw this goal, the Arsenal fans on the scene burst into cheers, while the Manchester City fans held their heads one by one, and they seemed to be in disbelief.
Obviously they are the attacking side, obviously they have more chances, but they were scored first by Arsenal.
They cannot accept this reality!
On the Sky Sports commentary platform, the two commentators were hilarious.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"
"Wonderful counterattack!! Breaking through Manchester City's goal with three consecutive kicks, Kay's long pass transfer is wonderful. He not only disrupted Manchester City's defense, but also made Arsenal's offense smoother."
Richard: "Saka's stop is also very interesting. At the moment when the ball is unloaded, he continuously shakes to open his body, and then makes a pass. Giroud easily catches the ball and breaks the goal! Manchester City did not expect that they, as the offensive side, took the lead Lost the ball."
Not only the two commentators, Henry on the side also clapped happily.
The only person with a bad face at the scene was probably Kompany, the former captain of Manchester City.
