Chapter 710 Manchester City Has No Leader

Chapter 710 Manchester City Has No Leader

Guardiola's expression was extremely helpless.

This Manchester City team is gradually heading in a direction he doesn't want to see.

Since Kompany fell into injury and was too old to support the game, the team's problems have gradually been exposed.

Guardiola admitted that Manchester City is a team with extremely superb skills, tactics and personal skills.

But compared to these, their enthusiasm for the game and the bonus of mental attributes are extremely lacking.

De Bruyne is a future top midfielder, but his character is restrained.

David Silva also has the same problem, low-key and humble, unable to be the leader who leads the team.

Fernandinho is even more unable to hold this position.

City lacked a player to carry them sprinting.

Just like the Arsenal game, once it comes to a critical juncture, Lucky's roar and his spiritual energy will affect everyone.

These are prompting Arsenal to do everything possible to win the game.

On the Manchester City side, they will become at a loss when they are in trouble and don't know what to do.

Just like today's locker room, everyone even communicates in a low voice.

How much Guardiola hopes that someone can stand in the middle at this time, slam the square chip, and wake these people up with a roar.

But no one set an example.

Therefore, Guardiola is often envious of Arsenal.

Because they have a real spiritual leader.

The existence of Lucky is to help Arsenal back up.

The upper limit of Arsenal is determined by all the players and the coaching staff, while the lower limit of Arsenal is determined by Lucky.

This also led to Arsenal not being so bad no matter how bad it is.

Because they have a real spiritual leader.

This is also the most precious wealth left by Wenger to Arsenal. The existence of Lucky will determine that Arsenal will remain a first-class team in the next ten years. As long as Lucky is still in Arsenal, then this is an established fact.

Thinking of this, Guardiola approached De Bruyne.

"Kevin, you need to play more positively, and you need to bring the voice of victory to your teammates!"

Guardiola hopes that De Bruyne can become this type of player. At this time, Guardiola is also in a hurry.

"I don't know what to do!"

De Bruyne said.

Guardiola thought for a while and said, "Think about how Kai did it."

Hearing this, De Bruyne was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately there was silence again.

Guardiola didn't push either.

Soon, players from both sides walked out of the locker room and headed towards the court.

The two teams meet in the players' tunnel.

De Bruyne also saw Lucky at the forefront.

But Lucky didn't walk out of the player channel directly, but stood at the entrance to high-five every Arsenal player and encouraged them loudly.

De Bruyne stopped subconsciously and glanced at his teammates.

He also thought about acting like Lucky himself, but could he really do it?

In the end, De Bruyne walked out in silence.

Guardiola saw all this and shook his head helplessly.

"It still needs to change slowly!"

"The game is about to enter the second half. Arsenal took the lead with Kay's goal in the first half. Manchester City is still behind. Guardiola and Manchester City want to reverse the situation. What changes will they make? ?”

Many people expected Guardiola to make adjustments to the lineup, but he did not make any adjustments.

The tactical system of the first half is still used.

This also shows that Guardiola trusts these players.

But does it really work?

"From the data in the first half, the ball possession rate of the two sides was 37% for Arsenal and 63% for Manchester City. Manchester City took a total of 5 shots, of which 2 shots were within the range of the goal frame. Arsenal scored [-] shots and won A goal!"

"Arsenal's defensive counter-attack is obviously more threatening!"

"And judging from the current situation, Arsenal still used this tactical method in the second half."

Mourinho has a way of playing Guardiola.

Since the La Liga period, the two have played against each other many times, winning and losing each other.

At that time, many people said that Mourinho would only use defensive counterattacks to limit Barcelona's pass and control system, but the facts also proved that if you want to defeat the traditional system, you need a tactical combination of defensive counterattacks + high press.

And this Arsenal team just knows these tactics very well.

Wenger's early Arsenal was indeed a traditional team, but in the later period, especially after Lucky's joining was reused, Arsenal's tactical system became flexible and changeable.

They can not only play pass and control, but also defend against counterattacks, and can also press in high positions. They can be called the panacea of ​​the game.

And Mourinho also added some elements of his own on the basis again.

The second half of the game started soon.

Arsenal took the lead.

Arsenal didn't want the ball, so after they lost the ball in the frontcourt, they didn't panic, but continued to retreat to defend.

Everything seems to be back to the microcosm of the first half of the game.

On the other hand, Manchester City played very hard here!

Yes, it is very fierce, and every attack wants to complete the shooting link.

Even sometimes, some offenses have no shooting angle at all, but they will still try it.

Although this style of play gives people a messy feeling, to be honest, it does put a lot of pressure on Arsenal.

But fortunately, Arsenal's central defender partner is in good condition. With the tacit cooperation between the two and the support of the full-back, they can defend well.

At the same time, Lucky and Kanter also gave support to a certain extent.

In this way, Manchester City's offense is difficult to penetrate.

And whenever Arsenal got the ball, their counterattack made Manchester City feel extremely headache.

Le Kai did not retreat too deep, which shows that Le Kai can join the rhythm of the counterattack more quickly.

This also accelerated Arsenal's overall counterattack rhythm a lot.

Manchester City's defenders and goalkeepers have suffered enough.

However, Manchester City's stalking tactics soon took effect.

an accident.

Sterling passed the ball to Yaya Toure, who was diagonally behind, and Yaya Toure made a long shot directly outside the penalty area.

The kick was powerful and the ball flew towards Arsenal's goal.

With a ding, it bounced off the crossbeam.

But the ball just hit the face of Sane in the penalty area and rebounded into the net again.

This operation really stunned everyone.

Manchester City's offense and shooting are so 'tricks', which no one has ever thought of.

City equalized in the 61st minute.

But the price was that Sane's face blossomed, and he was carried off with blood on his face.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

Manchester City did get a valuable goal, but at the cost of Sane being sent off without any reason.

Manchester City's "fairy goal" and Sane's sudden departure forced Guardiola to make passive substitutions.

Nolito came off the bench.

It's just that Nolito's ability cannot be compared with Sane, and he cannot play enough threats on the wing.

On the other hand, Arsenal is also a little depressed.

After all, this goal is pure luck.

Yaya Toure hit the crossbar from long distance and hit Sane again in the face, and finally scored.

Yaya Toure took the initiative to assist, while Sane scored passively and was carried off.

But they also had to admit that the score was tied.

Even Mourinho on the sidelines was depressed.

The goal was simply too bad.

Guardiola also covered his head.

Although Manchester City scored, the goal was obviously not perfect, after all, Sane was carried off.

The game restarts.

The two sides returned to the same starting line.

If Arsenal want to win, they must score again.

This also made Lucky pay more attention to the running of Manchester City's defense, ready to pass the ball at any time.

But Manchester City will not let Arsenal steal the ball easily.

De Bruyne suddenly entered the state, full firepower.

He almost helped Sterling create a one-handed chance three times in a row.

If it weren't for Jimenez and Hummels' decisive grabs, Arsenal would be in danger.

At the same time, De Bruyne and David Silva also formed a tacit cooperation to penetrate and advance the formation.

But if they did this, Lucy and Kanter quit.

Although they will not retreat too deeply, it does not mean that they will not participate in the defense at all.

If you want to advance, then they have to intervene.

For this reason, under the sudden rush of Lucky and Kanter, Manchester City was forced to retreat.
