my team is going to attack

Chapter 170 Draw (thanks to "Monica" for the reward)

A little cautious.

Compared to Arsenal's start in the last round of the league, when they also faced Manchester City, they played more actively, more proactively and openly.

Coming to the away game this time, I don't know if it was because Wenger gave a lecture in the locker room just now, and the Arsenal players suddenly felt a little bit restrained.

After the opening, the midfield controlled by Fabregas and Yaya Toure reduced the number and speed of forwards, and more of them returned or crossed in their own half.

The first to get a chance was Manchester City at home.

In the 4th minute, Silva made a very high-quality long-range shot from the top of the arc in the penalty area. Fortunately, Fabianski focused and jumped high in front of the goal to point the ball out.
corner kick.

The quality of Silva's corner kick was also not bad. When the ball landed in the small penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy couldn't catch Koscielny on the opposite side, and was pushed out of the penalty area by the latter's header.

The counterattack came.

Toure made a long pass to the left, and Nasri stopped and passed. After all, Joe Cole's speed was slow. The moment he turned around, Nasri rushed over, and he was too slow to chase.

There was no teammate in front to help, and Nasri didn't stop. He went all the way to the left side of the penalty area. Facing Manchester City's captain Richards, he swung his feet quickly and stepped on a small bicycle. Richards was not affected by it. Influence, firmly control your inner side, and don't give the opponent a chance to cut in.

Seeing that he couldn't cut from the inside, Nasri accelerated from the outside and entered the penalty area.

Richards turned around half a beat later, and Nasri, who had just entered the penalty area, found the space to shoot and volleyed with his left foot. Richards also fell down himself, and the ball flew from his feet to the goal.

Romero had already moved his position when Nasri was attacking from the outside. He had already blocked his near corner when the ball came over. The ball was very strong. Romero had no intention of catching the ball. The ball is pushed to the sideline.

resolved this crisis.

"Boost."

Wenger outside the field was dissatisfied with the team's performance and shouted loudly.

Such an opening game was not Wenger's preparation before the game, the players themselves played like this.

After one or two attacks back and forth, Arsenal stopped and their own rhythm came out.

At the same time, the defensive weakness of Manchester City's lineup came out.

Silva is not the kind of midfielder with strong defensive ability, let alone Wright Jr., his defense is better than nothing, and veteran Joe Cole's defensive ability is a bit stronger, but you can't expect Joe- Cole and Fernandinho can seal off Arsenal's defence.

Nasri and Walcott were fast, and Toure and Cesc Fabregas passed the ball very accurately. For a while, the crisis in front of Manchester City's goal flashed.

In the 7th minute, Koscielny from the right side made a cross pass to the middle, and Toure followed up with a straight kick, piercing Manchester City's defensive line and Van Persie rushed out. Romero was also very decisive, and the ball passed through the defense. The moment he attacked, he fell to the ground and controlled the ball under his body before Van Persie.

Van Persie can only jump up and jump over Romero.

Then, Toure himself controlled the ball from the center and broke into the penalty area along the ribs. In the penalty area, facing the defense of Silva and Cahill, there was no chance to kick the goal. Wa passed between his thighs and landed on the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Koscielny followed up with a burst shot, failed to hold it down, and flew towards the stands.

In the 13th minute, Fernandinho fouled on the left side of the penalty area and kicked Nasri down. The referee gave Arsenal a free kick from 20 yards.

Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas stand in front of the ball, both of them have a very good free kick skill, anyone can shoot, Romero arranges six teammates to defend his near corner, and he himself goes a little to the far corner .

"Di!"

The whistle sounded, Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas started at the same time, Fabregas arrived first, but his left foot crossed the top of the ball, and then the whole person quickly gave way, and Van Persie behind hit the ball with his right foot bottom.

With a strong spin, just right over the jumping wall, close corner.

Van Persie is very confident in his skills, he hits the close corner directly, the arc of the ball is also perfect, and it falls quickly after crossing the wall.

Romero only had time to move a step before throwing himself out, stretching his body as much as possible to expand his defensive area.

Fortunately, Romero poked a little with his left fingertip, the ball changed direction in front of the goal, hit the outside of the post and popped out of the baseline.

"oops!"

All the Arsenal players sighed regretfully, and Fabianski, who was also the goalkeeper in the distance, kicked the goal post helplessly.

"come on, come on, come on."

Wenger was very excited. Although they didn't score a goal this time, they had already boosted Arsenal's momentum. As long as they continued to attack, goals would come sooner or later.

In the current passive situation on the court, Su Bai was prepared. He originally used the substitute lineup to play the opponent's main force, even if he lost the game, he was thinking about it.

In the 30th minute of the game, the score finally changed.

Arsenal, who had attacked for most of the time, suddenly exerted force. Nasri made a long pass from the left side of the penalty area to the right corner. Toure followed up with a long shot and the ball circled like a crescent moon. Romero has already flew past, but the ball still rubs against the far post and enters the net.

0:1
In Toure's presumptuous celebration, Arsenal took the lead away from home.

Yaya Toure also rushed past Su Bai to hug Wenger, and Su Bai obviously glanced at him when Wenger ran over.

What does it mean?
Su Bai's hostility towards Yaya Toure is very strange. I don't think I mentioned this player, right?

It's your way of not paying attention to people that makes Toure very angry.

During the transfer period before the season, Barcelona had already agreed to exchange themselves for Mascherano of Manchester City. Toure was ready to go to Manchester City to get a high salary, but you, Su Bai, didn't want it.

Toure was on fire at the time, and the family had already dropped a lot of cups. He had wanted to score Manchester City's goal for a long time, and he finally did it today.

The score fell behind, Su Bai was not in a hurry, and signaled the players to play steadily and not to be too impulsive.

After Arsenal scored the goal, their momentum became stronger and their attacking speed accelerated. It seems that they want to end the battle in the first half?

That underestimated our Manchester City players too much. Everyone started to retreat a little bit. In terms of defense, Manchester City players will not be stingy with physical strength, so when Arsenal want to attack, they always find that the opponent has two players coming to defend.

In the 43rd minute, Van Persie shot again and was blocked by Alaba. The ball landed at the feet of Joe Cole. Seeing Wright Jr. in the frontcourt, Cole directly kicked a long pass. The ball crossed the midfield and landed on Jr. Wright's front.

Little Wright's characteristics are very obvious, short in stature, but very fast, and his ball-handling skills are also excellent.

After receiving the ball, he immediately dribbled it towards Arsenal's penalty area. Under the defense of the opponent's central defender and defender, there was room for a kick to shoot. The ball first hit Koscielny and bounced towards the goal. to the left of the goal.

Fabianski felt very bad. He had already moved to the right, but he was going to the left again, of course it was too late.

But the ball bounced off the post, and Fabianski, who was flying in mid-air, was finished, just bounced behind him and returned to the goal.

1:1
