Chapter 4 Seventy: Pellegrini: "It's not scientific!"

Clichy originally wanted to step forward to intercept directly, but when he saw Xavi Garciara intercepting, and when Milner chased back, he also paid attention to Chamberlain who was dribbling the ball.Chrissy changed his mind. Since there are two teammates intercepting in front, why should I go out to make such a fuss?

Ever since, Chrissy retreated a little to the restricted area.But then I thought it was impossible for this kid to rush past Garcia and Milner's interception, right?Thinking this way, Chrissy felt that he shouldn't retreat so far back. If Milner or Garcia just steal the ball and want to counterattack, wouldn't he just be unable to keep up?
Chrissy began to run forward, ready to respond to the counterattack of his teammates.Ordinary players can think of what is in front of them, and excellent players can think of the future. Clichy himself thinks that he is still a relatively good player.

But he had just exited the penalty area a little, and saw the scene where Chamberlain passed two people in a row.He was a little surprised, and even forgot what action he wanted to do.

Just like that, Chamberlain strode the ball, and then rushed past Arsenal's former big brother Clichy with speed.

"Beautiful!! Chamberlain!! Pass the ball, speed up, and force Chrissy with speed."

Feeling a gust of wind blowing past his face, Chrissy only reacted.Then they reached out and grabbed Chamberlain's jersey, forcing the opponent's speed not to fully increase, and throwing themselves away.

In the end, he used this moment to turn around and chase back, half a body behind the opponent, but the jersey was tightly held in his hand.

Chamberlain clearly felt the opponent's movements, after running a few steps and stalemate for a few times.Chamberlain made another strong pass, and then kept up with his own pace.

Chrissy was taken aback, he didn't expect how strong the other party was, and he was about to break free from his hand.Before he had time to think about it, when he felt that the jersey could not be held in his hand, Chrissy immediately stretched out his foot to poke the ball.

It's just that his foot failed to poke the ball, but was in front of Chamberlain who wanted to cut inside. Chamberlain didn't step over, and was tripped by Clichy directly.

Chrissy immediately retracted his hands and feet, intending to pretend to be innocent and express friendship.

But he suddenly heard the referee's sharp whistle, thinking that this foul could not escape.However, when the opponent's No.12 Li Zihan is no longer on the field, it is not a big problem to give them a free kick.Arsenal's second free kick shooter is the vice-captain Arteta. Clichy still knows the ability of his former teammate Arteta, so he is not very worried.

He wanted to go to the referee to justify it, so that he might not be shown a yellow card. Originally, this action was not very big, but he accidentally tripped the opponent.

But when he turned around, he saw the referee pointing his finger diagonally in front of him. He was stunned for a while, and followed the referee's gesture to see that the referee was worth twelve yards.

He looked down, sure enough. Now both he and Chamberlain are inside the restricted area.
"Penalty!!!"

"Clichy brought down the teenager Chamberlain in the penalty area and gave Arsenal a penalty kick. The referee's decision was very firm. Although there were a lot of Manchester City players surrounding him, his eyes and gestures were still firm. Aim for the penalty!!"

Chrissy came up to defend himself, thinking that the opponent was a flop, and he touched the ball first, and then the opponent stretched out his foot and hit his leg, just like the traditional Chinese skill-Pengci!
Chrissy himself understood what was going on, but this did not prevent him from 'opening his eyes and talking nonsense'! !

"In the slow-motion playback, we can see that Clichy's foot didn't touch the ball at all. His foot tripped Chamberlain directly, and there was a very obvious and even exaggerated movement of pulling the jersey!"

Clichy's justification and the "siege" of Manchester City players did not change the referee's penalty, and finally Arsenal won the penalty.

Vice-captain Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's first penalty shooter, arrived at the penalty spot and Joe Hart took a few sips of water behind the door and wiped his gloves with a rag tied to the net.

This is to avoid sweat or dew and other liquids on the gloves, which will cause the ball to drop when the ball is thrown, and give the opponent a chance to make up shots!
In the end, the opponent really failed to make up the shot. Of course, Joe Hart failed to save the ball.After Arteta's shot panicked a fake move, he hit the ball directly into the middle of the net! !Joe Hart was tricked by the Gunners vice-captain's feint as he pounced to the right of the goal!
"A goal!!! One to zero, Arsenal, who are at home, take the lead!!"

"This goal was mainly caused by the mistakes of Manchester City's full-back Clichy. Facing Chamberlain's quick breakthrough, he was passed by the opponent like a wooden stake, although he also tried hard to chase back. And he got the opponent's jersey, but he made a mistake in judging the ball at the end and brought himself and the team to the abyss of eternal doom!"

"Clichy has true love for Arsenal. He has worked so hard to go undercover in Manchester City for so many years. When Arsenal needed goals and points, he stood up decisively and sent a penalty to the opponent. And He gave Arsenal a lot of chances on his defensive side before." Zhan Jun also joked.

Arsenal fans at home, while cheering for Arteta's penalty goal, were also applauding Clichy, thanking him for the penalty gift.

Obviously, after Clichy and Nasri defected to Arsenal, Clichy was more likely to get applause from the Arsenal fans, while Nasri got all the abuse and boos.

However, if Nasri also came here and made a few own goals, he might be just as popular with the fans at the Emirates Stadium.
"I think Arsenal fans should really thank Chrissy. If Arsenal finally managed to get three points with this penalty, it is very likely that it will change the direction of the league championship this season. Go one step further with this goal!"

Amidst the singing of the Arsenal fans, the game restarted.

Wenger knows what kind of team Pellegrini and Manchester City are. They are very hopeful and good at equalizing the score or even overtaking the score shortly after falling behind.So Wenger poured cold water on his team from the very beginning of the game.
"Pay attention to defense, keep an eye on Navas, be careful of Dzeko's high-altitude bombing and Jovetic's ball. The game is far from over, and we are still far away from the celebration. You know Opposite is Manchester City. Manchester City with the strongest attacking power in the league, the last league champion Manchester City!!"

What Wenger meant was to remind the players not to be dazzled by the joy of a penalty kick, but to continue to keep their brains clear and resolutely prevent the opponent's sharp attacks.

The Arsenal players who were a little farther away didn't hear it, but the full-back Sagna who was near the sideline understood the general idea.

Only Pellegrini, who was near Wenger, heard it very clearly. The Chilean engineer kept complaining in his heart: Damn, don't you hate Mourinho?Don't you really dislike Chelsea who defend and counterattack? Why are you playing this game yourself now?If we have the ability, let's pull it out vigorously and have a good time. What about your integrity?

Wenger turned a blind eye to Pellegrini's winks, no matter how "emotional" and "affectionate" the other party was, he would not move!Staring intently at the court, pointing out the team's shortcomings with voice and gestures from time to time!

Pellegrini is angry, very angry!But he couldn't rush over to beat Wenger, who didn't like it, so he waved his hand and asked his players to rush up and beat the Arsenal players!
Of course, it doesn't mean to beat him with his hands, but to attack more firmly and resolutely!
For coach Pellegrini's gestures, Manchester City's players naturally understood.Equalizers are what they are good at and they have done so this season.It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay attention and let the opponent score first, you will equalize immediately and then overtake. Anyway, the result is the same. Manchester City must win!

In fact, the ferocious Blue Moon is also better at leading goals. They usually take the lead if they go well, continue to lead, expand the lead and finally win, and win with a big score. This is the normal Manchester City game!
Only this time, there was something wrong with the Manchester City players.Because Arsenal's defense is really good, their defenses are interlocking and complement each other, but they don't interfere.

Yes, this is no joke, Arsenal's defense is rare to do so well!
It can be seen from here that Wenger has a good grasp of the formation. He let the two defensive midfielders Flamini and Arteta start together for this purpose!And Chamberlain on the wing is not a pure speed assaulter, he can be used as a full-back when defending.Because Chamberlain was born as a full-back, his defensive ability is still very good, and his speed and physical strength are also his defensive advantages.

So often one Chamberlain on this side is almost enough, and the rest of Sarnia will fill the place.When Chamberlain couldn't last, the black French full-back came to help Chamberlain, and when he couldn't last in the middle, he immediately went to the middle to help.And when there is a loophole in the central defender, he will immediately fill the hole. Vermaelen and Koscielny's central defender combination is the most unreliable partner in Arsenal's current configuration!
Therefore, Manchester City's offense is full of thunder and rain, and there is no gain at all, and no one thought that Arsenal, a team with one of the worst defensive capabilities in the top half of the standings, could suddenly defend so well.
This is simply unscientific! ! ! !Pellegrini roared in his heart, Nima, is this still Arsenal?Is this still the Arsenal whose defense was so frustrated?This shit is Chelsea pretending to be Arsenal to show off its cuteness, right? !
