Chapter 1369 De Bruyne's pass

Chapter 1369 De Bruyne's pass

De Bruyne is a very threatening attacking midfielder.

His passing is penetrating and surprisingly creative.

It is extremely difficult to restrict De Bruyne in all directions. Arsenal can only compress the opponent's running space and let the ball pass in the cramped space.

But even so, with De Bruyne's bonus, Manchester City still passed on very smoothly.

Le Kai also retreated a few degrees, and stood on the right midfielder, basically restricted.

In such a suppressed situation, it is difficult for Le Kai to advance forward.

And De Bruyne is using this to increase the confidence of Manchester City's players in the game, and at the same time stabilize their midfield.

"After De Bruyne came on the field, it had a very significant effect on the overall changes of Manchester City. Their midfield rhythm began to stabilize in the area, and at the same time, they gradually became stronger in offense."

"However, Manchester City's offensive pace has to be accelerated, if they don't want to enter the second half with a backward attitude!"

Andy Gray looked at the time. It was less than 10 minutes before the end of the first half.

If Manchester City still dominated by slow possession, they would not be able to equalize the score in the first half, which also lost the purpose of the current situation.

No matter what kind of tactics, the ultimate goal is to score goals!

The same goes for possession.

No matter how good the pass control is, it is useless to fail to score.

The purpose of passing the ball is to stretch the space, prepare for the advance, and finally aim at scoring.

Therefore, Manchester City needs to move forward more intensely.

Sure enough, in the last 5 minutes, Manchester City began to work hard.

They no longer carry out conduction control as before, but continue to pass forward.

De Bruyne dominated the side attack, and Aguero supported it in the center.

Of course, there is also Sterling's breakthrough.

However, since Le Kai withdrew, it was difficult to get through that wing.

For this reason, the offense is more biased towards the other side, which is where De Bruyne is located.

But after De Bruyne holds the ball, he seldom advances on the wing, and more often chooses to get closer in the middle.

But Aguero was able to pull the side to create space for him. At the same time, after the back row moved forward, Manchester City showed an overall forward pressure posture.

"withstand!"

Hummels shouted from behind.

He could feel that their defense was constantly being suppressed and retreated.

At the same time, the Arsenal players also want to complete the steals, but this is not an easy task.

The ball kept moving back and forth between the two wings, probing and attempting to tear apart Arsenal's defense.

From time to time, it will hang to the middle, but Arsenal still withstood the pressure.

For the current Arsenal, taking advantage of the first half time, there is not much left, they only need to do a good job of defense.

"Resist it! You must watch the sidewalk!"

Lucky is also constantly directing.

At the same time, he is also filling the space left by his teammates after pressing.

In the process, he did not give up the restrictions on Sterling.

Sterling was getting bored to death.

Even if Lucky makes a replacement, he will not give up the restrictions on him.

He can guarantee that as long as the ball is passed to his feet, Le Kai will be able to kill it.

Sure enough, a long ball was diverted and Sterling stopped the ball near the performance.

As soon as he stopped the ball, Le Kai had already come to the position two meters in front of him, and made a heavy heart, staring at him.

Sterling felt a headache, he tried to shake his shoulders, trying to shake Lucky's center of gravity.

But this guy was so calm, he didn't even move his body, as if he knew it was a fake move.

For this reason, Sterling tried to dial the ball towards the side, wanting to test it out.

Sure enough, in the next second, Le Kai moved.

"Shit!"

Sterling cursed secretly, and just as he was having a headache, a voice came from beside him.

"Come here!"

Then he shouted again: "Don't hesitate!"

Sterling almost passed the ball without raising his head when he heard the second sentence.

He knew that under Lucky's defense, once there was a movement of raising his head, Lucky could immediately get close and block the passing channel.

As it turns out, this works.

After Sterling passed the ball, Lucky arrived half a beat later and failed to complete the interception in the end.

At this time, De Bruyne also received the ball and went forward directly.

His forward speed is not fast, but his foot rhythm is very good.

When Lucky was about to retreat to the limit, De Bruyne had already passed the ball.

A mid-air arc pass.

The ball bypassed Hummels and flew towards the middle.

Aguero's forward drive was very resolute, which also gave him the opportunity to grab the first point.

Looking at the ball in mid-air, Aguero threw his body out, hooked his right foot forward desperately, and finally touched the ball with his toe.

The ball hit the toe, refracted and flew towards the far corner.

And Buffon in front of the goal, facing such a close-range shot, he could hardly react, he could only watch the ball enter the net.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"

"Aguero!! Wonderful tackle!!!"

"Of course, the organization of Manchester City's attack is also very good!"

"A long pass diverts Kay's attention to Sterling, then De Bruyne moves quickly to follow up, opens the gap again from the right wing, and the final arcing pass is even more amazing."

"That's De Bruyne's pass and the equalizer for City!"

When Andy Gray looked at the time again, the game time was fixed at 44 minutes.

"Only 1 minute away!"

"Manchester City equalized at the last moment of the first half!"

"Guardiola's substitution had a very significant effect. After De Bruyne played, he successfully activated Manchester City's attack line!"

"At the same time, they also tied the game again!"

"Last time, they beat Arsenal, and this time in the Carabao Cup final, Manchester City seems to want to prove that they can beat Arsenal again!"

"Whether it is Manchester City or Guardiola, after a season without a championship, they are too eager for the championship!"

The Manchester City fans at the scene also burst into long-suppressed cheers.

After their equalizer, Manchester City fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they have beaten Arsenal, they have always lagged behind Arsenal in many previous matches and lost the game because of this. Seeing that the situation is not right, they can't help feeling anxious.

And at the last moment of the first half, he scored a goal and equalized the score.

This is a very pleasant surprise for them.

The Arsenal players on the scene were a little regretful.

There is also a certain blow to morale, but not a particularly big impact.

It's just a pity that they couldn't maintain their advantage.

After all, Manchester City is not an ordinary person, and the opponent's strong offense can pose a great threat to them.

Conceding the ball is possible, which has been considered when they formulate their tactics.

And this time the goal was not due to a player's mistake, or some team coordination problems.

It can only be said that Manchester City's offense played too well this time, and it was too unexpected.

As long as it is half a beat slow, Arsenal can keep up and destroy it.

Under the attack of Feasible Cloud and Flowing Water, Arsenal failed to get any chance of destruction.

In the end, you can only watch the ball enter the net.

Based on Manchester City's goal, the two sides tied 1:1 in the first half.

The morale of Manchester City has also recovered a lot.

At the same time, commentators everywhere are also praising De Bruyne. They think this goal is a chance created by De Bruyne.

Of course, the fact is also true.

After all, everyone can see that since De Bruyne played, the situation on the court has begun to change.

On the one hand, it restrained Arsenal's midfield rhythm, and on the other hand, it moistened Manchester City's offensive line like a lubricant.

After this goal, the first half of the game was also over.

Under the whistle of the referee, the players of both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.

The fans of Arsenal and Manchester City in the field were caught in more intense cheering.

This is the stage of the League Cup final.

Whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, they will not give up this championship.

They have already reached the finals, so there is no reason not to fight.

Especially for Arsenal, this is their fourth championship of the season!

How could they give up.

Nothing can stop them from competing for the championship!
