Chapter 1264 Suppression
"Giroux! Turn around and shoot!! Morais flies to the rescue!!"
Paul Molson cheered loudly, then shook his head and said: "The shot was wonderful. Giroud was very decisive. He turned around and shot directly. The angle was also very tricky, but Morais was very focused. A save was made at the moment!"
"Manchester City should be careful of Arsenal's sudden attack. Kay is very good at this kind of penetrating pass, sending the ball directly to dangerous areas and even the feet of the center forward. When the center forward can shoot directly!"
City were taken aback by the shot.
They didn't expect Arsenal's attack to be played out in such a neat way.
This time, he didn't even make a breakthrough towards the wings, but directly relied on the strong central axis to complete the shot.
In particular, Lucky's pass posed too much threat to them. If they came a few more times, Manchester City really couldn't stand it.
"Cheer up! Focus!"
As captain Kompany is also constantly boosting morale.
Arsenal corner.
Lucky did not enter the penalty area, but waited for an opportunity at the top of the arc.
But based on Lucky's threat, there are still people who defend Lucky full-time.
The two were also constantly pushing.
However, compared to Lucky's side, the defense against Giroud is tighter.
Giroud and Kompany pushed again and again, and both of them started to push. For this reason, the referee warned many times, and then the corner kick was successfully taken.
At the moment of the free throw, Le Kai swayed forward, trying to get rid of the defense.
But the other party didn't take this kind of thing at all, ran over to Le Kai in a simple and clear way, and hugged him directly.
Le Kai tried his best to break free, but he couldn't. In the end, both of them fell in the penalty area.
Arsenal's corner kick was also destroyed by the opponent and flew directly out of the touchline.
"Manchester City's defense in this game is more active, and the pressing is more fierce, but they are subject to many restrictions in terms of playing the ball!"
Manchester City has always been a pass-and-control team that focuses on possession of the ball.
But this game is based on Arsenal's continuous advancement in the early stage, they can only be forced to defend, and it is difficult to maintain the rhythm of the midfield.
After Arsenal took the kick from the sideline, Lucky stopped the ball firmly under his feet.
When Mahrez went up to grab, Lucky turned around, put Mahrez behind him, and passed the ball to Kanter.
Kanter touched the ball forward and passed it to Wilshere, completing the transition from left to right.
Wilshere dribbled forward for a certain distance and found that the opponent's defense line was too dense, so he transferred the ball to the wing again.
Aubameyang didn't have the idea of stopping the ball at all this time, but faced the ball and directly completed a big transfer.
The ball flew extremely fast and didn't fly high. Dembele looked at the ball and he could only stop it with his chest.
However, the force of the pass was too great, and the ball failed to control the unloading force and landed one meter away from the body.
This kind of stopping distance is not enough to protect the ball in professional courts.
Kyle Walker saw the opportunity and poked the ball out.
The ball was taken over by Mahrez in front, and Manchester City finally got the ball.
"For 3 minutes, Arsenal have been in control of the ball, and now Manchester City finally got the ball back, let's see how they attack next?"
Seeing Manchester City gain the ball, Guardiola on the sidelines was also slowly relieved.
The main reason is that Arsenal are pressing too tightly, and there has been no possession of the ball, and Manchester City's advancing offense cannot be played.
After getting the ball now, it's easy to handle.
Mahrez didn't think about breaking through directly, but passed the ball back and reorganized.
At this time, the Arsenal players also quickly retreated, not lingering at the previous offensive situation at all.
Such is the discipline of Arsenal.
Attack when it's time to attack, and defend when it's time to defend.
All act in unison.
The ball is at the feet of David Silva, and through the continuous running of his teammates around him, he is also advancing the attack.
But when the ball was about to pass the middle circle, they encountered a fierce press from Arsenal.
This time, Arsenal pressed high and started to apply pressure near the half-time line.
This will preserve some of your energy.
David Silva also tried to pry open Arsenal's defense in his constant passing.
However, Arsenal's supplementary defense and position transfer were too fast. Even if he had the opportunity, it was difficult for him to react. Even when he wanted to pass the ball there, the Arsenal players had already completed the supplementary defense.
After all, David Silva has not done this kind of work for too long, so he is not particularly sensitive to gaps and gaps.
Furthermore, Arsenal's defense is too good to give David Silva the opportunity to penetrate.
In the case of being unable to advance, the situation gradually stalemate.
Mahrez began to retreat and cruise towards the middle. This was helping David Silva handle the ball, and it was also helping the team sort out the offense.
During the Leicester City period, Mahrez did this kind of work. Compared with a pure winger, Mahrez's job was more to integrate the midfield and help the ball out.
Of course, his shooting and dribbling ability are also good.
But that also depends on who you face.
Mahrez faced Lucky on the right wing, and he didn't dare to try to break through easily. Once Lucky steals it, it would be Arsenal's counterattack.
They can't stand this kind of counterattack a few times.
For this reason, Mahrez prefers safety balls when handling the ball, but when other people are also in the same situation, Manchester City's offense is even more difficult to break through.
At this time, the side effects of the lack of De Bruyne are reflected.
"Manchester City played too conservatively and had chances a lot, but they didn't dare to pass the ball towards that position for fear of being intercepted by Arsenal, but the more this happened, the more Arsenal would press defensively!"
"Manchester City are almost forced out of halftime!"
Arsenal are not only defending but also pressing.
Little by little they are forcing City out of their own half.
Looking at the ever-compressed passing space, Manchester City also understands this problem.
For this reason, David Silva roared.
"Jesus!"
After all, he hoisted his feet directly into the restricted area.
Jesus rushed to the landing point, but he was blocked by Jimenez as soon as he ran a few steps, and then the two confronted each other, and neither could do anything to the other.
The ball was easily held in the arms of goalkeeper Martinez.
Manchester City's offense finally came to an end in this way.
Seeing this, Manchester City fans feel a little bad.
Because the scene began to tilt towards Arsenal, even the rhythm of possession they were proud of was robbed by Arsenal a lot.
In this case, how do they deal with Arsenal's successive counterattacks and offenses?
As soon as I thought of this, Arsenal's offense came.
And it came extremely fast.
Martinez drove directly to the frontcourt with a big foot. After Giroud stopped the ball against Kompany, he waited for his teammates to step forward.
At this time, there were five Arsenal players involved in the attack.
Under the situation of resisting the pressure, Giroud passed the ball to Wilshere, and Wilshere didn't stop the ball, and directly passed the ball to break through.
After gaining speed, Wilshere started to get in through the narrow slit.
Gundogan and Zinchenko wanted to close the door to defend, but Wilshere passed the ball ahead of time, and then accelerated again, rushing between the two abruptly.
"Wilshere!! Breakthrough!!"
Seeing Wilshere rushing into the opponent's penalty area, the Arsenal fans in the entire Wembley Stadium couldn't calm down, and they cheered fiercely.
While cheering, Wilshere passed the ball in an inverted triangle, and the ball came to Lucky's feet. Lucky pretended to shoot, tricked the opponent's central defender to block, then dunked and opened the gap.
Immediately exerting strength on the waist and abdomen, rotating the right leg, and slamming towards the ball.
The ball showed a small arc, bypassed the central defender Laporte, and flew towards the goal post.
With a ding, the ball hit the goalpost, flew horizontally, and then hit the feet of Morais, who was unable to react in time, and rolled into the goal.
In 26 minutes, Arsenal scored the first goal.
Lucky completed a volley in the penalty area.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"
"Kay!!! Arsenal scored the first goal!! Kay's shot was very powerful, and the angle was tricky. After hitting the goalpost and rebounding, it hit the ankle of goalkeeper Morais and entered the goal."
"During the whole process, Manchester City failed to react!"
"That's City's problem! If they can't hold the ball in midfield and keep the rhythm of possession, they will be quickly thrown away by Arsenal and have to withstand intense defensive pressure!"
"In the end, Arsenal scored in the 26th minute and blasted away Manchester City's goal!"
