Wembley Stadium.
Players from both sides are already standing on both sides of the field.
Arsenal in red and white and Manchester City in light blue.
The starting lineups for both sides are as follows:
Arsenal (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Martinez.
Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.
Midfielders: Aubameyang, Kanter, Wilshere, Lucky, Dembele.
Forward: Giroud.
Manchester City (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Morris.
Defenders: Zinchenko, Laporte, Otamendi, Kyle Walker.
Midfielders: David Silva, Fernandinho, De Bruyne.
Forwards: Sterling, Aguero, Bernardo Silva.
The lineups of both sides can be said to be the best. In order to win this English League Cup, both teams are doing their best.
Especially for Manchester City, their game is not only for this championship, but also to cut off Arsenal's winning streak, which affects their morale to a certain extent.
Under the camera, the expressions of the players on both sides are extremely serious.
De Bruyne, Lucky, Dembele, Aguero, Aubameyang and other players are taken care of, and they have a lot of shots.
Obviously, these players are all players who have shown great performances in recent games.
"This game can be regarded as the top confrontation in the Premier League. Whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, they have extremely strong combat effectiveness in the league. What kind of game will it bring us?"
Accompanied by the commentator Paul Mossen's words, the referee Jonathan Moss from the Premier League blew the whistle to start the game.
"The match begins! The match begins! Here is the 2018/2019 Carabao Cup final. We will witness the strong dialogue between Arsenal and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. The match will confirm the birth of the champion after 90 minutes."
At the moment the whistle sounded, Manchester City took the lead to kick off.
As the core player of Manchester City, De Bruyne dominates the ball from the moment the ball kicks off, constantly passing and organizing.
De Bruyne is the most powerful offensive midfielder in the Premier League, even Lucky cannot compete with De Bruyne in this regard.
Lucky's performance is more in defense and versatility, and he is really not De Bruyne's opponent if he only takes out the offensive attributes.
For this reason, Lucky's position in this game is also slightly behind.
This is in response to Manchester City's crazy firepower.
But even so, as soon as the game started, Manchester City gave Arsenal a big gift.
In several consecutive vertical passes, Manchester City continued to test Arsenal's defense, and then De Bruyne seized an opportunity to send the ball to Sterling without looking at anyone. Lin met the ball and made a successful pass to the bottom. Aguero finished the goal, but the ball was slightly out of the goal.
"Man City managed a dangerous shot in their first attack."
Paul Mosen said loudly.
"Manchester City's firepower has begun to exert its strength!" Dixon said with anticipation.
The Manchester City fans at the scene even let out cheers like a tsunami. Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people, the entire stadium was also shaken.
"Nice job!"
"It's time to retreat and defend!"
After the first offensive attempt, the morale of the Manchester City players was also boosted. They all yelled and retreated, and their tone was full of excitement.
The Arsenal players frowned slightly.
Although this issue has been thought about before the game, the firepower displayed by Manchester City is still beyond imagination.
Arsenal's goal kick.
Because Manchester City retreated too quickly, there was no long pass, but it was sent to the full-back.
The full-back passes to the winger and the winger crosses.
The ball came to Lucky's feet again.
After taking control of the ball, the Manchester City players launched a fierce high press.
In today's football, defense is not only reflected in the backcourt, but also needs to be adequately pressed in the frontcourt to create more offensive opportunities.
But Arsenal are also handy with this tactic, so they know how to pass it on.
In the case of ensuring enough safety, pass some safety balls, interspersed with some tentative vertical passes to penetrate.
Throughout the trial process, Manchester City's defense was relatively stable, and they did not become flustered by Arsenal's feint.
For more than half a season, Manchester City has been strengthening their overall linkage, and now the effect is remarkable.
"I can't wear it!"
"There is no chance on the side!"
"They pressed very hard in the half."
In the process of passing on, the Arsenal players are also constantly giving feedback on information.
And Lucky accepts the information, integrates and summarizes it.
In the end, Lucky decided to pass the ball to Dembele.
After Dembele got the ball, he was eager to try.
"Dembele has the ball and he starts to attack from the wing!"
"In the previous few games, Dembele created a lot of opportunities for Arsenal's offense. His own ability combined with Arsenal's overall running position can make their offense extremely threatening."
"But in this game, can Dembele show his due performance when facing Kyle Walker?"
Kyle Walker's speed is very fast. As a full-back, his offensive and defensive performance is also amazing.
Especially after joining Manchester City, he was cultivated by Guardiola, and his state and ability have also been greatly improved.
Dembele is also very aware of this.
Dembele carefully tested. He has enough confidence in his skills, but it doesn't mean he will underestimate Kyle Walker.
After all, any opponent who can stand in front of them has extremely strong abilities.
In the five major leagues, it is difficult to find a player who paddles, and Kyle Walker is not such a player.
Dembele slammed the ball with his right foot, slowed down the rhythm, and made a test.
He waited for Kyle Walker to take the initiative to step forward and stretch his feet.
But unlike other full-backs, even with his extremely fast speed, Kyle Walker still blocked the inside road, kept a certain distance, and did not make any pressing actions.
This made Dembele a little anxious.
Seeing that the opponent's players were about to provide support, Dembele made a decision and immediately decided to go to the bottom.
Dembele moves, he's fast.
But Kyle Walker's reaction speed is also very fast, and he quickly caught up with Dembele.
When Dembele completed the bottom, Kyle Walker was also tightly blocking the inside path.
"Don't think about it!"
Kyle Walker felt ruthless.
Dembele has no choice at this time, he can only bite the bullet and pass.
The result was obvious, the ball hit Kyle Walker's ankle and flew off the baseline.
Dembele failed to complete the cross.
But Arsenal also got a corner kick.
"Come up! Come up!"
Lucky greeted his teammates to compete for the top.
And he himself rushed into the penalty area.
As soon as Le Kai entered the penalty area, he encountered strict defense from Manchester City players.
Facing a player like Le Kai who has a strong high-altitude combat ability, Manchester City will never relax.
At this point, Wilshere has come to the corner, ready to throw.
After he raised his hand, he immediately made a free throw.
The ball flew to the middle.
Giroud rushed to the ball's landing point first, and Lucky also outflanked towards the back point.
Giroud was interfered by the opponent during the take-off and failed to reach the ball.
But Le Kai, who was at the back point, took off with Zinchenko on his shoulders, and the whole person completed the header in an awkward posture in the air.
Due to the restricted movement, Le Kai was unable to use his strength, and Manchester City goalkeeper Morais also easily held the ball in his arms.
"Ah~~~ Kai hit the ball, but failed to send it up, Manchester City goalkeeper Morais put the ball in his arms, Manchester City counterattacked!!!"
Suddenly, the Manchester City goalkeeper rushed out of the penalty area and stepped forward with a big foot.
The ball flew forward quickly and was accurately stopped by Aguero.
At the same time, Sterling and Silva also quickly followed up.
Even Fernandinho from the rear supported him forward, and Manchester City's counterattack was very good.
"Manchester City's counterattack is about to start, and Arsenal haven't fully retreated, and Kay has no time to chase back, how should Arsenal choose, Aguero started to pass the ball, Manchester City. Oh~~~!!!!!! "
Paul Mosen's voice suddenly rose.
At this critical moment, he saw Jimenez, who was a central defender, rushing forward on his own initiative. Before Sterling stopped the ball, a sliding tackle scooped the ball out.
"Jimenez!!!!!! Decisive tackle!!! Wonderful judgment!!!"
"He helped Arsenal buy precious time to go back!!"
Taking advantage of this time, the Arsenal players also quickly retreated to supplement the defense.
