Chapter 1301 The Opening Gap

Chapter 1301 The Opening Gap

The time is entered to 40 minutes.

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

This has become even more anxious for Manchester City.

They want to get back the score before the end of the first half, no matter how bad it is, they can get back a goal.

For this reason, their offense became more intense in the remaining 5 minutes, and they could be regarded as frantically attacking Arsenal's defense with all their strength.

In contrast, Arsenal decided to play it safe.

For them, there is no need to confront Manchester City. After all, under the current situation, they only need to hold the score to enter the second half smoothly, and continue to restrict Manchester City with an advantage.

Both sides have their own plans, so the format of the game has changed to Manchester City occupying more ball possession 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 the opportunity, he will directly hit the goal.

And with this kind of stunned style of play, Hao Xuan almost blasted away Arsenal's goal with a few kicks.

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

"You can't ignore him completely!"

Hummels reminded in the backcourt: "His shot must be limited!"

He believes that Arsenal put too much attention on De Bruyne, which caused Foden to be completely unattended, which made Arsenal's defense a little dangerous.

Once this guy is in range, he's bound to choose to shoot.

And the quality of the shot is pretty good, the most important thing is, the guy's self-confidence kicked out.

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

For this reason, Le Kai's position began to be closer to the middle road.

And this gap in position was accurately felt by Bernardo Silva.

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

Bernardo Silva went straight in as the ball moved to his feet.

With a violent kick, he began to crazily hit Arsenal's big penalty area.

And Le Kai couldn't catch up immediately because he was standing close to the middle. Even if he caught up, his speed couldn't limit Bernardo Silva.

The pressure all came to full-back Robertson.

After two seasons of training, Robertson has a lot of experience.

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

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

Robertson immediately stretched out his feet to block it.

But Bernardo Silva made a dunk, and after passing Robertson, he passed the ball in an inverted triangle.

The ball passed to De Bruyne, who advanced forward.

De Bruyne galloped fast, he strode forward, and he swung his right foot directly to shoot.

At this moment, without any interference from Arsenal players around and in front of him, he can finish the shot very comfortably.

"Dangerous! De Bruyne's shot."

Before he could finish his sentence, De Bruyne shot suddenly.

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

Lucky burst out from the side, a sliding tackle restricted the channel of the shot.

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

Also at this moment, Le Kai turned his head and shouted anxiously; "Pay attention to respond!"

The ball just landed in front of Aguero at the front point, and the Argentine striker faced the falling ball and directly poked it with his toe.

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

In the 43rd minute, with only 2 minutes left before the end of the first half, Manchester City chased back a goal.

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

"Of course, Bernardo Silva's downside triangle pass is very important for this goal. Although Kay has tried his best to block it, he still cannot reverse the fate of the ball rolling forward. Aguero's shot It was also very exciting, at the moment when the ball bounced off the ground, he directly poked the ball with his toe, the swing of the whole leg was not large, but the shot was completed quickly, which made the goalkeeper Martinez completely unresponsive."

"After Manchester City's substitution, Foden's advancement has a positive effect, and Manchester City successfully pulled back a goal!"

After the goal, Aguero was very excited.

Manchester City players are also extremely excited.

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

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

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

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

This is a very crucial goal.

Had they entered the second half two goals down, they might have had just 10 percent of their odds left.

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

This is a precious goal.

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

But they are not discouraged, and despite some troubles, they still have a lot of confidence to win the game.

The last 2 minute.

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

After 45 minutes of the game, Arsenal currently lead Manchester City 2:1.

Intermission time.

In Arsenal's dressing room, the overall atmosphere is quite positive.

"Manchester City wants to pull the position of our defensive midfielder as much as possible, and then penetrate from the wing. If the defensive midfielder cannot be restricted in the first place, the full-back needs to be extra careful."

Mourinho looked at Robertson and said.

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

Of course, this is not the meaning of asking him to stretch his feet, but he must create a chance to steal, no matter how bad it is, the opponent cannot make an inverted triangle pass.

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

Mourinho believes that Kante needs to be tougher in defense.

If you can't keep up with Foden, foul means are not ruled out.

Kanter also nodded, he understood what Mourinho meant.

"Overall, our offensive performance in the first half was good, but we still need to stabilize the defensive problem, which is the key!"

Mourinho concluded, and immediately signaled the players to rest.

On the other side, in Manchester City's locker room, Guardiola is also arranging tactics for the second half.

"Arsenal is deliberately restricting De Bruyne and our passing offense. At this time, it is even more necessary to increase the width of the field. The goal in the first half is proof, but when we increase the width of the field, we will You get better chances to attack and other players are able to get into areas where they can create danger."

After all, 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 retreated 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 prefers that the opponent observe more, rather than dribbling the ball forward.

In this regard, he has reminded him many times, but it seems that this guy just can't learn to look up.

Generally, he dribbles the ball head-on, either loses the ball, or shoots himself.

He can't be a qualified midfielder who drives the pace.

For this reason, in Guardiola's choice, he is more of a surprise player than an important puzzle for the starter.

Both sides were making second-half adjustments.

Soon, the assembly whistle sounded.

This means that the second half is about to start.

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

Fans from both sides cheered frantically, and the cheers also gave the players great motivation.

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

After all, in the entire Premier League, these two teams are considered to be the most championship-based seeded teams.
