Chapter 707 Pass Control VS Counterattack
"Here is Sky Sports live broadcasting the 2016st round of the 2017/21 Premier League season between Arsenal and Manchester City at home!"
"In the past 20 rounds, Manchester City and Arsenal were in the third and fifth positions in the standings respectively. The difference in points between the two sides is only one point. That is to say, this game will determine the ranking of the two sides in the standings!"
"Whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, no one wants to fall out of the Champions League qualification, especially for Manchester City and Guardiola, after a season, they must show some results this season!"
"Arsenal's performance this season is also very good, and in this game, we can see that Arsenal's captain Kay has regained his starting debut. the match of!"
"This is extremely friendly news for Arsenal and the fans."
"And because of Kai's comeback, this game is bound to become extremely intense!"
"At the same time, we can focus on Yaya Toure. This once powerful midfielder in the Premier League is 33 years old. Yaya Toure himself also said in an interview that he was struggling when playing in the top league. Consider the issue of transferring and leaving this season or next season."
"This is the sixth year Yaya Toure has played for Manchester City. He has witnessed the historic moment when Manchester City won the Premier League trophy, and now Yaya Toure is likely to leave the Premier League because of his age!"
"For Yaya Toure, this game is also an extremely difficult battle. Opposite them, Arsenal has 'probably' the world's top midfielder!"
In Andy Gray's words, the players from both sides came to their respective halfs after finishing the pre-match photoshoot and side selection.
Arsenal got the ball first.
Manchester City chose the left half.
Lukaku stood in the middle circle waiting for the kick-off.
Players on both sides are also ready to fight.
Lucy moved a little, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted his state.
This allows him to get into the game faster.
After resting for a period of time, his physical fitness has recovered a lot. Once the state continues, Le Kai's performance in this game will inevitably receive great expectations.
Soon, the whistle sounded.
Intense cheers followed.
After Lukaku kicked off, Arsenal began to conduct patiently.
Did not show any sneak attack.
"Arsenal started the game with a lot of composure and they were patiently pouring the ball down."
"Kay's position appears on the front side of the left half. When working as a defensive midfielder, Kay can also participate in the offense better in this position. Of course, Mourinho sometimes asks Kay to mainly serve as a defensive player. Work, but against Manchester City, Arsenal should want to play more proactively."
As soon as the words fell, Arsenal conceded the ball.
However, the press they expected did not appear. Instead, they began to position and coordinate defense to supplement the gap.
Arsenal don't care about possession of the ball!
Andy Gray was slightly surprised; "Arsenal gave up the ball?"
In the confrontation in the first half of the season, when Arsenal were away, Lucky suppressed Manchester City's midfielder.
Therefore, many people think that Arsenal will still use this tactic to head-to-head with the opponent's midfielder.
But I didn't expect Arsenal to voluntarily give up the ball.
Seeing Arsenal's actions, Guardiola also frowned slightly.
He also wanted to avenge himself in the confrontation with the opponent's midfielder.
But Arsenal's choice made him hit Cotton hard.
Arsenal chose to back down!
"Keep an eye on your position! Don't give the opponent the space behind you!"
"focus!"
"Watch the ball! Watch the ball!"
The Arsenal players were yelling, they were talking and sharing intelligence.
In this case, Manchester City is somewhat difficult to score.
Manchester City is also a little depressed.
They also want to have a good confrontation in the midfield and get back the field.
But who would have thought that Arsenal voluntarily gave up the midfield rhythm.
"Press it up!"
De Bruyne looked at Arsenal's position, gritted his teeth slightly and decided.
Since you don't fight against them in the midfield, don't blame them for pressing and kicking.
The Manchester City midfielder pressed forward as a whole.
As they crossed half-time, Arsenal's players suddenly moved.
And this time the movement was very intense, with the front and rear players surrounded in an instant, looking aggressive.
Even Manchester City's continuous conduction is difficult to limit this kind of pressing.
They had just stepped into Arsenal's half and were quickly pushed back.
Yaya Toure is in the back position and divides the ball to both sides.
He could see clearly that at the moment of pressing, Arsenal's position was also in a state of ready to go. Once they grabbed the ball, Arsenal would immediately launch a counterattack.
Arsenal's counterattack is not so easy to stop.
"be careful!"
A word of warning from Yaya Toure.
But after all, it doesn't have much effect. How can you not lose the ball when you play football?
In Arsenal's strong pressing, Manchester City finally conceded the ball.
Kanter knocked the ball back from Sterling's feet, Sterling fell to the ground and tried to cheat, but the referee was indifferent.
Kanter looked over to Lucky's position, saw it was too far, and passed Wilshere forward.
Wilshere was assigned directly to the left, and immediately began to run wildly.
Lucky also moved forward quickly.
Arsenal's counterattack was so fierce that Manchester City couldn't keep up for a while.
Aubameyang made an inverted triangle from the bottom.
Wilshere hurriedly stopped and rubbed his feet fiercely.
The ball was rubbed to the back point.
But Mane was a little slow to follow, and he didn't touch the ball until the ball flew out of the baseline.
The ball was hanging on the side net, and the scene was full of exclamations.
Manchester City narrowly escaped the counterattack.
"Concentrate! Their counterattack is fast!"
"After being robbed, fight back as soon as possible!"
"Don't be affected by the opponent's rhythm, calm down!"
Manchester City players are shouting and cheering each other on.
It has to be said that this counterattack took them by surprise. Arsenal's counterattack was much faster than their phenomenon.
And they were staring at Le Kai all the time, but they didn't expect that it was Wilshere's counterattack rhythm.
Lucky also returned to his own half, waiting for the opponent to kick off.
Although the counterattack failed to score a goal, it also produced good results.
Manchester City was definitely taken aback by Arsenal's counterattack speed, and then they didn't dare to advance too casually.
This counts as a warning!
After 2 minutes, Manchester City returned the color.
De Bruyne holds the ball in Arsenal's half. He is located near the arc of the center circle and rubs the ball directly with the outside of his instep.
The ball barely passed in front of Le Kai.
Lucky stretched out his foot as far as possible, but failed to stop the pass.
This pass has a small arc, just bypassing Lucky.
Fortunately, Robertson was very alert at the landing position and shoveled the ball out ahead of time.
Once Sane is allowed to hold the ball and complete the inside cut, Arsenal will be in danger.
"De Bruyne's wonderful pass!! How dare you pass the ball!" Zhan Jun exclaimed.
Zhang Lu on the side also smiled and said, "Young and energetic! He just stared at Le Kai's position and kicked the ball very stealthily. He has a small arc. In fact, Le Kai's running position has already been noticed. But when he tried to intercept, the line just went around the tiptoe."
On the court, De Bruyne also shook his head slightly.
And when he looked at Le Kai, he raised his chin subconsciously, as if showing off.
Lucky got up and glanced at De Bruyne.
I have to say that he was careless this time, and he didn't expect this arc problem.
I won't give him another chance next time!
After Arsenal took the lead in attacking, Manchester City relied on De Bruyne's pass to get back the field.
However, the score of the two sides is still 0:0.
At this time, 10 minutes have passed.
Both sides have a threatening attack.
From the perspective of the scene, Manchester City has the initiative, but Arsenal's counterattack is sharper, showing a sense of balance and stalemate overall.
The question now is who will break this balance first.
A sharp temptation to break this silence with a touch of repression.
Fans believe that once this rhythm of the game is broken, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides will suddenly become stronger.
Now it feels like a sense of depression before the war.
Both sides are on fire!
