Chapter 1348 Failure After 443 Days

All six rounds of the Champions League group stage are over.

Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain reached the knockout stage.

Arsenal are 5-1-0 in six games to go into the knockout rounds unbeaten.

Paris Saint-Germain's promotion process was a bit bumpy, but it still entered the knockout stage steadily, which can be regarded as the completion of the first part of the goal.

After the end of the Champions League game, after Arsenal returned to the league, they will turn around to face Manchester City.

The double matches for three consecutive weeks made the players physically exhausted. Although the morale was still very high, the hidden dangers of injuries began to emerge frequently.

For this reason, in this game against Manchester City, Mourinho finally decided to rotate.

This is also considered in the overall situation. For Manchester City, after the Champions League group stage is over, they only need to focus on the league.

Itself has not encountered the pressure of multi-line combat, and the internal injury situation is better than Arsenal.

For this, they are fully prepared.

In contrast to Arsenal, they not only have to prepare for the second half of the season, but also prepare for the Club World Cup that will start in mid-December.

It can be said that after the game against Manchester City, Arsenal has almost no time to rest, and will rush to Qatar to prepare for the Club World Cup without stopping.

The complicated schedule and high-intensity games drained the physical fitness of Arsenal players.

In the 17th round of the Premier League game, Arsenal were stunned by Manchester City's two goals in the first half.

"Sterling!! Another arc pass from De Bruyne tore through Arsenal's defense. Manchester City has a huge advantage in this game!"

Andy Gray's voice was extremely exciting.

At this time, Manchester City feels unstoppable.

For the first time they played such a wonderful performance against Arsenal.

In this game, although Arsenal is not the main force, Lucky, Giroud and other players are also present.

But in the face of Manchester City's strong attack, Arsenal couldn't bear it.

"The pressure of multi-line combat and injuries have caused Arsenal to have problems in many aspects, especially this battle loss ratio puts the Gunners in an extremely difficult stage."

"I don't think Arsenal's strength has declined, they are just consumed by a large number of games and are in a short-term downturn."

Richard believes that Arsenal's ability is still very outstanding.

It's just that Arsenal played almost a lot more games than Manchester City throughout the first half of the season.

What's more, the hidden dangers of injuries buried last season broke out intensively this season, which led to Arsenal being in such a passive situation.

It is difficult for a team to continue that crazy undefeated state.

In fact, Arsenal's 60 unbeaten rounds are enough for them to be proud.

Today, the Gunners may usher in a situation where their undefeated golden stature is broken.

The morale of Manchester City players is high.

After scoring two goals, the Manchester City players were refreshed and their morale was extremely high.

They see the hope of victory, and they still have a very strong urge to win.

Of course, they will not take it lightly.

With their knowledge of Arsenal, this team will not give up until the last moment.

For this reason, they must face the next game cautiously.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City still maintained absolute control of the midfield.

Arsenal also failed to score any goals in the first half.

Entering the intermission stage, Arsenal began to make tactical changes under the arrangement of Mourinho.

Saka went off and Chambers came on.

Eriksson topped the winger position, while Chambers appeared in the midfielder position with Xhaka.

Lucky's position is slightly forward.

This is to rely on Lucky to change the rhythm, and at the same time want to suppress Manchester City's wanton midfielder through Lucky's strong performance.

After Eriksson pushes forward, the striker's offensive organization ability can be further guaranteed.

Yes!

Mourinho has greatly enhanced Arsenal's midfield control and offensive capabilities through a series of changes.

Of course, the more core issue is Lucky's performance.

As before, when faced with difficulties, both Mourinho and Arsenal fans chose to believe in Lucky.

And when Lucky stands in the offensive position, Arsenal's overall playing mode becomes different.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, under the command of Lucky, they launched a fierce high-position press, gradually compressing Manchester City's passing space.

And Le Kai further squeezed Manchester City's passing options by running hard.

Under pressure again and again, Manchester City was finally overwhelmed and made a mistake in another cross.

This was a pass error under confrontation. Foden encountered Mane's confrontation when passing the ball, which resulted in an inaccurate pass.

This kind of loophole was caught by Lucky in an instant, and Arsenal immediately fought back.

After a fierce counterattack, he pushed down and passed the ball to the penalty area line with just two feet.

Lucky is at the top of the arc, ready to advance at any time.

But when he saw the people inside the penalty area, he stopped and pulled back.

And this also allowed him to pull out a shooting space.

Eriksson had quick eyes and quick feet, and made an emergency stop and passed the ball sideways.

Le Kai ran to meet the ball, and he ran in a slightly arc.

When he came to the ball, he could already shoot directly.

After observing the goalkeeper's position, Le Kai directly used the outer instep of his left foot to make an arc and flew towards the near corner.

Morais' body shook, and his feet shook even more, but he couldn't move half a step in the end.

Judging from his judgment, it was too late even to make a save.

In the end, the ball also took advantage of the trend and got into the dead corner of the near point.

Arsenal pulled back a goal in the 65th minute.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

"Strong offensive performance, this is what Kay is capable of!"

"A shot from the outside of the instep made an absolute dead end. Arsenal finally got back a goal. The suspense of the game is still there. Arsenal are only one goal behind!"

With this goal, Manchester City became nervous.

It won't be that easy for them to beat Arsenal.

Unexpectedly, this conceded goal came so suddenly.

The most important thing is Lucky.

"I'm going to stare at him!"

Foden volunteered.

Even Foden can see that if Lucky continues to play like this, then Arsenal's counterattack is too threatening.

The best way is to limit Lucky.

For this reason, Foden approached Lucky directly, as long as Lucky entered the first half, he would not leave Lucky's side.

Foden worked very hard, and in the face of Le Kai's physical confrontation, he was still relentless.

This also caused Lucky's few shots to become less stable.

And Arsenal also began to pass the ball to Eriksson more.

Although it can't create a threat attack by pulling like Lucky, it is currently the best choice.

It can only be said that Arsenal missed a good opportunity after conceding two goals in a row.

Time passed little by little.

In 70 minutes, Manchester City took the lead in making a substitution.

Gundogan and Sterling are off, Bernardo Silva and Mahrez are on, and De Bruyne retreats.

This further strengthens the control of the midfield, and at the same time provides a certain amount of defensive radiation to the defense.

And Arsenal also made an offensive choice.

Giroud is off, Lukaku is on.

This is to play a simple cross and let Lukaku play the role of battering hammer.

But the idea is very good, and the effect is also played out, but it is still unable to score.

Manchester City's defensive tenacity, despite being scrambled at times, always let Arsenal return without success.

Until 84 minutes, Manchester City suffered a foul from Arsenal in a counterattack.

And De Bruyne seized this opportunity, directly set the ball and scored the goal to pull the score to 3:1.

After scoring, De Bruyne was extremely excited.

He changed his normal routine and started to run wildly on the slide rails in the court, his whole face flushed with excitement.

Obviously, during this period of time, Arsenal and Lucky were like two mountains weighing him down.

For this reason, when he scored this goal, he led Manchester City to complete the sniper battle against Arsenal.

Although this victory came a bit late, for De Bruyne, it was all worth it.

And under this goal, the Arsenal players also showed a helpless expression.

At this time, they also understood that the general situation was over.

It's not like they haven't done it to get back two goals in a short period of time.

But the state at this time is really weak, even Le Kai is squatting on the ground and panting continuously, obviously exhausted.

In the end, the 90-minute game was over.

Manchester City beat Arsenal 3:1 at home.

They finally beat Arsenal and at the same time cut off Arsenal's hopes of a 62nd game unbeaten streak.

After a lapse of 443 days, Arsenal finally lost.
