Chapter 1096 Ibrahimovic's Quick Counterattack

The players of Manchester City are used to it now. After Rong Guang or Ibrahimovic scored a goal, they did not swarm towards one person, but scored in two groups. One group went to the player who scored the goal, such as Rong Guang or Ibrahimovic, and the other group went to the person who assisted him, such as Ibrahimovic or Rong Guang.

That was the case this time, some ran towards Rong Guang and followed him to celebrate the goal in the corner, while the other ran up to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, slapped his back and shoulders, and praised his wonderful pass.

After being teammates with these two men for a few months, they already know the two men very well.Some outsiders say that the relationship between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rong Guang is not good, but in their opinion, it is not appropriate to say "not good", and it is more appropriate to say "cold relationship".

The relationship between the two is cold, but they never hesitate to cooperate with each other on the court.

If the two of them are good friends and have this kind of cooperation, that's all right, because the relationship between the two of them is cold, so this kind of cooperation will make everyone extra excited.

※※※

Wenger was speechless about the conceded goal in the second half.

Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic actually hit the wall in a row and cooperated... Two talented players join hands, it is even more difficult to defend...

Arsenal's tight defense line was torn apart when the two of them thumped and passed the ball to each other.

He can't blame Squillac for making an offside mistake. There is no problem with his choice. The only problem is that he may not have expected Ibrahimovic's pass to be so decisive, without any hesitation...

Of course, not only him, who else would have thought of it?Even Wenger himself was quite surprised...

※※※

After Rongguang helped Manchester City equalize the score, Manchester City, who had one less player, did not change their strategy, nor did they think about scoring another goal to overtake the score because their morale was boosted after scoring the goal.

Of course, the players will definitely have hotheads, but Benitez poured cold water on them at this time to calm them down.He asked the players to continue to defend and counterattack, not to rush out easily.

After all, there is still time, only to tie the score, Arsenal is very likely to launch a counterattack after losing the ball. If Manchester City loses the ball because they want to score, then it will be very sad.

Manchester City has a small number of people, and their physical energy is consumed quickly, and the onslaught is very energy-consuming.If the onslaught doesn't yield results, but the stamina is exhausted, it will be miserable...

So after conceding the ball, Manchester City continued to play their defensive counterattacks. With one less player, they stayed in the backcourt honestly, posing a posture of "letting you attack".

Arsenal originally planned to take advantage of Manchester City's onslaught to counterattack them, but they were a little dumbfounded to see Manchester City like this.do not know what to do with it.

Benitez was relieved when he saw this, he returned to the coach's bench and began to watch the game patiently.

He felt that although the game was at Manchester City's home court, Manchester City lost one player in the first 5 minutes of the game and consumed too much energy. In such an unfavorable situation, it would be a good result if they could win a draw in the end.

I believe that even if Arsenal did not win in the end, I am afraid no one will criticize it.

But Rong Guang didn't see it that way.

This time he is not thinking of seeking revenge from Arsenal, nor does it mean that he cannot accept a draw.

The undefeated record of [-] league games does not mean that [-] consecutive victories are required, and a tie is also considered a kind of undefeated.

Rather than saying that Rongguang must win, it is better to say that he must let Manchester City score another goal.

Because he owes Ibrahimovic an assist!

In the eye contact between him and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the two men did not clearly assign their tasks and roles, but passed the ball to whoever ran to that position.If it was Ibrahimovic who ran to that position at that time, the assister would be replaced by Rong Guang.

Ibrahimovic gave Rongguang an assist, and Rongguang must pay it back. He didn't want Ibrahimovic to say that he took advantage of him in the future.

If Ibrahimovic can be returned in this game, that would be the best.

Rong Guang adheres to the principle that debts are not overnight.

Otherwise, there is still one week before the next game. I am afraid that Ibrahimovic will face Rongguang with an expression of "you are taking advantage of me" this week.

Rong Guang doesn't think this is a kind of pleasant enjoyment...

So he must replace Ibrahimovic with a ball before the end of this game.

So in the next game, although Manchester City played a defensive counterattack, Rong Guang was very active on the court, whether it was offense or defense.

Everyone can understand that he is active in offense. He is active in defense not because he suddenly wants to brush up his defensive stats, but because he intends to steal the ball and launch an offense. This is more convenient than waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him...

His activeness allowed Arsenal's players to focus on Rongguang when defending, from two people defending him to three people.

But in this way, their defense against the rest of Manchester City will naturally be less strict...

At the same time, Arsenal have to increase their offensive strength, because they really can't accept that they are one goal ahead and have one more player than Manchester City, but they are finally tied by Manchester City!

In their view, Manchester City is already a fish on the chopping block, and they should let them slaughter it. How can they still escape from the chopping block?
Arsenal's players have been affected by this mentality throughout this game.

And the impact is deep.

They already believed they deserved to win.

Now after being equalized by Manchester City, they have to regain the lead.

And they believe that as the game time goes by, Manchester City's physical fitness should decline faster and faster until it is exhausted.

Arsenal should win even more. If they still can't win Manchester City in the end, a seed called "Can't win Manchester City anyway" will take root deep in their hearts...

So whatever the reason, Arsenal deserved to win too.

As the game progressed, Manchester City did gradually give up control of the game, and many of their players were unable to run.

The physical fitness of this team has almost been exhausted.

Due to poor physical fitness, Manchester City has not had a decent counterattack for 10 minutes. Rong Guang and Ibrahimovic are both isolated and helpless.

In the second minute of No.70, Sneijder's cramp became a symbolic event.

Benitez had to replace Sneijder with Richards, this is a defender for a midfielder, and continued to strengthen the defense.

Under such circumstances, Arsenal continued to strengthen their offense, trying to win Manchester City.Sneijder was one of the starting points for Manchester City's counterattack. After he left the field, Manchester City's counterattack threat was weakened again, and Arsenal could press up a little more.

Not long after Arsenal made this adjustment, No. 707 minutes.

Manchester City handed over the football to Rongguang in the backcourt.

As soon as Rongguang took the ball, three Arsenal players surrounded him, and Rongguang was not even given the space and time to turn around.

This is the rhythm that will never let Rong Guang dribble the ball to their backcourt.

But Rong Guang didn't think about counterattacking with the ball.

Who said that the counterattack must be completed by him with the ball?

With his back turned to the attacking direction, Rong Guang suddenly turned around and kicked...pass the ball when he was surrounded by three Arsenal players!
He passed the ball through the gap between two Arsenal players and directly into the Arsenal half.

At the same time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic started from the other side of the field to the middle, chasing the football!

"Rong's direct pass..." John Mortensen said with regret in his tone.

His regret is that the ball turned out to be passed by Rong Guang, and it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who received the ball.If the roles of the two were reversed, his tone would definitely be different.

Because that means that Rong Guang will launch another lightning-fast counterattack!
now...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic can indeed catch the ball, given his speed, even if he catches the ball, he is likely to be caught up by Arsenal's pursuers, and then fall into a tight siege. Manchester City's counterattack failed...

Sure enough, Rong Guang immediately turned around and charged forward after passing the ball. His speed was very fast, like a flash of lightning across the field, attracting everyone's attention.

Rong Guang is a player who can make many people focus on him without holding the ball, because he is so imposing when he runs!

At the same time, Arsenal's central defender Squillac, who stayed in the backcourt, was in front of Ibrahimovic. He did not come up to press, and kept a reasonable distance. As long as Ibrahimovic continued to dribble the ball, he would threaten Ibrahimovic.

And Squillac is more concerned about Ibrahimovic's pass. Although he is in front of Ibrahimovic, he is glancing at the glory out of the corner of his eye.

Before Ibrahimovic assisted Rongguang to score the goal, and then think of the Champions League game in the middle of the week, it was also the glory of Ibrahimovic's assist.

With such a good opportunity this time, how could Ibrahimovic not pass the ball to Rongguang?

He glanced at Rongguang again, wanting to see where Rongguang had gone now.

Rong Guang was still advancing, followed by four Arsenal players.

Squillac looked away again and looked at Ibrahimovic.

But at this moment, his eyes widened!
What did he see?
He saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic take a step with the ball and then suddenly shoot hard!

The football flew past his head almost in the blink of an eye!

His surprised expression was frozen...

"Ibrahimovic—!!" John Mortensen growled.

As the football flew through the air, so did his voice, which rose sharply when he saw Arsenal goalkeeper Fabianski moving forward.
