my team is going to attack

Chapter 61 begins (polite three requests)
Two days later, Su Bai officially brought Nicole to the training ground to introduce the new team doctor to the players. A group of young guys screamed excitedly, especially those who were not married or had no girlfriend.

Yes, I’m talking about you, Bell, Lewandowski, Fernandinho——
The players have ignored Nicole's other identity.

The first game in December is the quarter-finals of the English League, Manchester City will face Arsenal at home.

Finally, in the league, Arsenal had lost two games in a row. In the last round, they lost directly to Chelsea 3-0. In terms of league rankings, Arsenal, who played one less round, only scored 25 points. There is a difference of 11 points.

Why did Arsenal suddenly collapse? An old question. The number of injuries in the team has been increasing. In the first team, there have been as many as 6 injuries. Interestingly, two defenders, two midfielders, and two forwards have been injured.

The deadliest thing is that Van Persie, the team's strongest attacker, was injured. Wenger's current striker is actually the young teenager Nasri. How can such a lineup compete with Chelsea in the league? normal.

The start time is the afternoon of December 12rd, Thursday.

At the Manchester Stadium, Wenger unexpectedly played the main players, probably thinking of the league game three days later.

Arsenal's opponent is Stoke City, which is ranked lower. Manchester City is in trouble. It is also in this stadium, but Su Bai's opponent is Ancelotti.

In the standings, Chelsea ranks first with 36 points, while Manchester City closely follows him with 35 points. Then this direct dialogue will determine the ranking of the two sides.

No one can lose, and Manchester United quietly followed behind.

Chelsea had already been eliminated in the League Cup, so Ancelotti waited for work, Su Bai, would he dare to play with all the main players in this League Cup?
Wenger bet that Su Bai would not dare.

As soon as Manchester City's starting lineup came out, Wenger knew he had made the right bet.

The goalkeeper is Schmeichel Jr.;
The guard is led by captain Dunn, Zabaleta, Richards and Cahill;

Midfielders Petrov and Fernandinho lead Johnson, Ireland;
The double forwards are Negredo and Robben.

Su Bai prepared a traditional 442 formation for Wenger today. Except for Cahill and Robben who are the main players of Manchester City, everyone else is on the bench.

In Cahill's last league game, Su Bai only let him play for half of the game, while Robben didn't play at all in the last round, because of this game and the addition of Petrov in the midfield.

Recently, Wright Jr. took over Petrov's starting position in the league. If he wants to regain the starting position, he will naturally have to show the same state as when the league started.

Otherwise, how could Su Bai let him return to the starting lineup.

Injury is indeed the biggest opponent of athletes. Since he was injured in the national team game, Petrov will never return to the fiery state a few months ago.

Wenger played all the main players in the quarter-finals of the League Cup this round. Su Bai didn't think it was strange. With Arsenal's current situation, the league championship is out of the question. Then Wenger wants to win a championship this season, the League Cup Undoubtedly the best chance.

Goalkeeper Almunia;

Defenders Vermaelen, Gallas, Traore, Sagna;
In midfield, Alexander Song, Fabregas, Arshavin, Danielson;
The forwards are teenagers Nasri and Da Silva.

In this starting lineup, Wenger came for victory.

Nasri, one of the four little swans in France, has performed well recently and has lived up to his reputation. Today, he also wants to show himself in front of Manchester City.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Nasri got a chance. Xiaofa found Danielson with a long pass in midfield, and the latter headed to Nasri who followed up.

Jumping to the top, Nasri had an idea, and instead of stopping the ball, he jumped up from Dunn's side, but Schmeichel was not a simple player. The child held the ball in his arms.

The midfield composed of Fernandinho and Petrov could not stop Arsenal's attacking group, especially their Cesc Fabregas and Arshavin.

Xiaofa has played in the Premier League for many years, and the last two seasons are his best performances. Arshavin, known as the "tsar", although his performance is not as explosive as in the previous two years, he is still a reliable midfielder for Arsenal one of the players.

Manchester City's midfield was played by them only to parry, and even Negredo and Robben had to come back to support the defense.

Can't catch the ball in front either.

In the 10th minute, Arsenal played a wonderful match, Vermaelen passed straight from the backcourt to Song, and the latter kicked the ball to find Cesc Fabregas.

Xiaofa made a beautiful fried ball and broke through the defense of Negredo and Johnson. At this time, Arsenal's players had already overwhelmed the half-court. Nasri, then cooperated with Arshavin to kick the wall, and Nasri broke into the penalty area.

Da Silva and Arshavin took the defensive players away from both sides. There was only one Cahill in front of Nasri. The experienced Cahill held the inside and did not give him the space to turn and cut inside.

The moment Nasri dribbled the ball to the center, he distributed the ball. Fabregas, who was unguarded, came to the edge of the small penalty area and shot in the upper right corner.

The distance was too close and the angle was very tricky. Schmeichel Jr. flew up when Fafa kicked, but his fingers still did not touch the ball.

0:1
Arsenal took the lead in the away game, and everything was designed by Wenger. The players on the Manchester City field simply couldn't prevent Arsenal's skillful passes and receptions.

Su Bai called Ireland over and asked him to go to the field and tell the players to increase the hardness when defending, not fouls, but upper body.

What is the biggest fear of a team like Arsenal?It's not that the opponent kicks hard with you.

When Manchester City's defensive strength increased, Arsenal's rhythm was a bit chaotic, they couldn't cooperate, and they were slow to pass and receive the ball.

Here Cesc Fabregas just received the ball, and Johnson next to him stretched out his jersey after being shaken, and Fabregas could only spread his hands.

Arshavin over there dribbled the ball and saw Zabaleta shovel from the front and jumped up quickly. The latter shoveled the ball away and brought Arshavin to the ground. The most annoying thing was that the opponent did not foul.

Arsenal didn't hit another goal until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

For this, Manchester City paid the price of two yellow cards and only two shots in the first half.

For Su Bai and Manchester City, this first half was the time when they shot the least this season. Manchester City, which has always advertised as an offensive team, also set up a bus today.

Wenger was a little surprised. He thought that Su Bai would defend more in this game, but he didn't expect Su Bai to be so thorough.

This doesn't look like Su Bai's character.
