Chapter 969 Soaring Figure
Arsenal's overall forward pressure made Manchester City feel a little pressure, but their midfielder can still control the rhythm very well, which is still within a controllable range.
However, with the pressure from Arsenal, their overall formation was slowly compressed.
Arsenal's pressing in the midfield was very active, which also led to a quicker rhythm.
Manchester City began to make more one-kick passes, trying to break up Arsenal's pressing.
However, for a full 3 minutes, Arsenal didn't seem to give up at all, which caused Manchester City's pressure to drop the ball to increase.
In the rapid passing again and again, the players not only need to make quick judgments, but also make moves.
Whenever there is a problem in one link, the overall rhythm of transmission and control will be destroyed.
Manchester City's pass control is very good, but it does not mean that it cannot be disintegrated.
Especially with Arsenal's way of putting pressure on them.
Seeing Arsenal put pressure on the frontcourt, Manchester City did not dare to continue playing with fire. They began to pass the ball forward, hoping to relieve some of the pressure on the back line.
In this way, even if the ball is intercepted, it will not be directly counterattacked.
But as soon as they sent the ball to De Bruyne on the front foot, Arsenal formed a siege lineup on the back foot.
Lucky, Xhaka and the retreating Mane quickly blocked De Bruyne in the middle.
De Bruyne saw that the situation was not good, he wanted to pass the ball, but at this moment, Lucky suddenly moved a step sideways, and this step also cut off De Bruyne's passing route.
The ball was not passed, and De Bruyne was completely surrounded by Arsenal.
"Come out! Come out!"
David Silva yelled anxiously.
The teammates also responded.
But as Arsenal's encirclement shrinks and shrinks, De Bruyne's pressure becomes greater.
Soon, Xhaka stuck to De Bruyne to press.
On the other side, Le Kai also blocked the outside line tightly, and Mane behind him also prevented De Bruyne from turning around.
"De Bruyne was stuck on the wing by Arsenal, he didn't have any space to play the ball!"
As soon as the commentator's voice fell, Xhaka suddenly stretched out his foot and poked the ball out of the sideline.
Seeing the ball roll off the sideline, De Bruyne was also slightly relieved.
This result is much better than counterattacking after being tackled.
"Xhaka is a little anxious, he should wait for Kai to steal the ball!"
Andy Gray sighed.
He is still more inclined to steal the ball from Lucky. If he steals the ball from Lucky's point of view, it is completely possible for Mane to directly form a counterattack situation.
Xhaka also grinned after finishing the press; "Sorry, captain!"
Le Kai shook his head and said, "It's good to be able to destroy it, well done, let's continue!"
Xhaka cheered up.
He felt that he was in really good shape.
Manchester City's throw.
Full-back Kyle Walker threw the ball to De Bruyne, who returned a kick and then turned and ran.
He wants to pull Lucky out of the net in this way, and at the same time pull out a passing angle.
But Le Kai is not a rookie, this level of pulling and running can't fool him at all.
Le Kai still stood in his position, and at the same time signaled the full back to watch De Bruyne.
De Bruyne saw that he could not deceive Le Kai, so he ran back helplessly.
It is indeed not an easy task to grab the ball from Manchester City's feet.
Although today's Manchester City is not the Barcelona of the dream three period, with almost abnormal pass control ability, but the stability of pass control is still very good.
To this end, Arsenal is also constantly putting pressure on, adding a stable defense to maintain the situation.
Guardiola on the sidelines looked dignified.
Since the Spanish period, Guardiola and Mourinho have played against each other a lot.
Facing a Portuguese who likes to defend, Guardiola has had victories and has also experienced defeat.
It has to be said that Mourinho is a difficult opponent, and so is the team he coaches.
In the situation, Manchester City dominates the possession of the ball, but as an offensive team, they have been unable to make effective shots. This is a very obvious signal.
It is difficult for Manchester City to break through Arsenal's defense.
They can only try again and again.
And in the process of testing, anything can happen.
"These guys."
David Silva wants to send the ball to the middle, but Arsenal's defense in the middle is extremely tight.
As a last resort, he could only send it towards the sidewalk.
As soon as Sane got the ball, Kanter posted it.
With the approach again and again, Sane could only pass back.
But at the moment of the pass back, Sane had a physical collision with Kanter, which also made Sane's pass a little off.
"Return error!"
Andy Gray suddenly roared.
His eyes were on the ball, which landed between David Silva and Xhaka.
The two started to rush towards the ball almost at the same time.
Xhaka's speed is very fast, and the Swiss player is sprinting with all his strength.
At the moment when the ball was approaching, Xhaka fell to the ground with a shovel and kicked the ball to the feet of Aubameyang on the wing.
After receiving the ball, Aubameyang turned and sprinted immediately.
"Aubameyang charged up! Arsenal's counterattack!!"
At the moment when the counterattack started, Arsenal's offensive and defensive conversion speed was reflected, almost ahead of all Manchester City players sprinting forward.
Due to the quick start, Arsenal had significantly more counter-attacking players than Manchester City's defenders.
"Come back! Come back quickly!"
Otamendi shouted.
As he retreated, he observed Aubameyang's passing line.
Kyle Walker has already tagged Aubameyang.
Kyle Walker is the only one in the Manchester City team who can catch up with Aubameyang's speed. For this reason, Guardiola deliberately placed Kyle Walker on the same wing as Aubameyang.
The sprint speed of both of them is very fast.
Aubameyang's bottom line was very resolute. At the moment when he was close to the bottom line, Aubameyang stopped suddenly. After the cheating Kyle Walker also stopped, he immediately started again, pulled out half of his body, and made a cross .
The ball flew to the middle.
Giroud raised his head to judge where the ball fell.
At the moment when he was about to take off, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, and with a roar, he pushed the ball out of the baseline.
"Otamendi!! A brilliant drop-back sabotage!"
Andy Gray cheered loudly.
Otamendi is a player with a height of 183 cm and a weight of 78 kg. As a central defender, he is considered thin, but his strength is not weak.
As a central defender, Otamendi has an excellent prediction of where he will fall, so he was also able to complete the destruction this time.
And recently, Otamendi's performance is also extremely outstanding.
It can be said that Manchester City can win many games, among them Otamendi's stable performance in the defense.
Roar! ! ! ! ! ! ——
After landing, Otamendi also roared, venting his inner excitement.
This destruction is incomparably wonderful from any angle, and it is also very good in his opinion.
Giroud looked at Otamendi with some displeasure.
If I had been able to take off earlier just now, maybe it would have been a different result.
Giroud is also sometimes annoyed by such things. When facing the choice of hitting point, he always has some hesitation, which can easily make him miss the opportunity.
Regardless, the attack was scuttled.
And Arsenal won a corner kick.
"Concentrate! Prepare to fight for the top!"
Lucky's voice came.
Giroud turned his head and looked over, Le Kai had already run into the penalty area, ready to fight for the top.
The two looked at each other and made a simple exchange.
Immediately, the two came to the arc top of the restricted area together.
Aubameyang takes the corner kick.
He looked at Manchester City's big penalty area, and his eyes wandered to Giroud and Lucky.
These two are Arsenal's most capable players.
At the same time, Manchester City's defensive position is more concentrated on the front side, so Aubameyang decided to hit a penalty kick.
beep! !
The whistle sounded.
Aubameyang fruit breaks the ball.
At this moment, the players on both sides also made actions instantly.
Lucky and Giroud separated almost instantly, pulling towards the front and back sides.
And Manchester City defender Otamendi also retreated rapidly.
He watched the ball fly across the middle and back, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug in his eyes.
Sure enough, he guessed right!
Otamendi stood still and was about to take off, but his eyes suddenly went dark.
A voice blocked the sunlight, Otamendi raised his head slightly, and then slowly opened his mouth wide.
He saw Le Kai almost flying in front of him, and headed the ball towards the goal in the air.
"how is this possible!"
