Starting from entering Kawazu

Chapter 36

The ball flew to the goal quickly, and Seaman's reaction was relatively good. After falling to the ground, he flicked it with one hand. After being flicked by him, the ball still rolled towards the goal.

Adams flew to the ground and tried to hook the ball. At this time, Crouch also rushed to the ground, and also fell to the ground. Both of their feet kicked towards the ball!

In the end, the height advantage prevailed, Crouch's feet came first, and after being touched by him, the ball quickly rolled into the goal, 1:2, and Manchester City quickly overtook the score again!

After getting up, Crouch excitedly rushed to the corner kick, pulled up the corner flag and remained on the ground, showing his excitement.

Sun Jihai also ran over, jumped on Crouch's back and laughed.

His long-range shot was very sudden and powerful, which put enough pressure on Seaman. As a result, Seaman missed the ball and gave Crouch a chance to make a follow-up shot.

The legs are so long. When it comes to making up shots, it has an advantage.

"Oh, buy Karma, Manchester City overtook again, Crouch made a supplementary shot and scored. This big man reacted very quickly. Manchester City's signings this season have been quite successful. Compared with those big-name players, Crouch is obviously more important. Value for money."

In the commentary seat, Taylor was slightly teasing.

Indeed, many teams have introduced big-name strikers, but I am afraid they are not as useful as Crouch.

Lineker said: "The Chinese Sun's long-range shot was very sudden. David was obviously old and his reaction was slow, which resulted in a loss of the ball.

Although Arsenal's offense is strong, if the defense is like this, it may be difficult to win the championship. "

"Yes, the defense is a bit bad, the old is old, the small is small, and Sol (Campbell) alone is a bit stretched." Taylor also said.

The two analyzed quite comprehensively. Arsenal is indeed strong offensively and weak defensively. Of course, this is for strong teams. Of course, they still have no such problem when dealing with weak teams.

On the sidelines, Keegan applauded with satisfaction, and the score was exceeded again so quickly, which is really a very good rhythm.

Those who are ahead can often defend leisurely and have obvious psychological advantages.

Now, it's Arsenal's turn to have a headache.

At this moment, Wenger is indeed scratching his head. Facing the efficiency of Manchester City today, he knows very well that the team must play 120 points, otherwise, it is likely to fall at home.

Jia Yi felt a little emotional, this Crouch was just a tactical pawn, and he didn't expect him to be the protagonist today.

This season, Jia Yi's expectation is to enter the Champions League, but now that he is playing so well against Arsenal, Jia Yi has reason to expect a higher goal.

The game continued, Arsenal stepped up their offensive.

However, Cech's performance is still outstanding, allowing Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Pires and many other big-name stars to return without success.

At the end of the first half, the visiting team took the lead.

Entering the locker room, Keegan asked both sides to come out and put more pressure on each other.

This makes some sense. Arsenal's two sides are indeed suppressed very high, and Manchester City's players are still a little conservative at the moment.

If it is pushed out, the defensive pressure may be less. Of course, the filling players in the middle should be more active. After all, the breakthrough ability of Henry and others is not blown out.

In the second half of the game, Arsenal made a substitution.

Cheng Tao, who was able to join through the genius clause application, appeared on the stage.

The Chinese Derby started again in the Premier League.

Keegan also replaced Crouch with Cruz. The latter fought a little hard in the first half, but this time his physical strength was a little weak.

After Cruz came up, there was a firepower point in front that could run, which was definitely a check for Arsenal.

As soon as he came up, Cruz received a cross from Sun Jihai from the winger in the penalty area and took a volley. The ball hit Seaman in the face and was then cleared by Campbell.

Seaman also didn't get up for a long time, obviously he was very bored.

After finally waking up, the team doctor also gave Seaman a concussion test, and saw that Seaman was still clear-headed, so he went down.

In 55 minutes, Sun Jihai made another sudden shot after cutting inside. Seaman threw the ball and let go again. Cruz flew forward and made a supplementary shot.

This is the horror of Arsenal fans watching Highbury.

It was not until 70 minutes that such a situation was finally relieved. Manchester City did not expand the score and began to recover.

Keegan's tactic of letting both sides press up was still very successful, but unfortunately, no goals were scored.

With only the last 20 minutes left, Arsenal began to press across the board.

Cheng Tao broke through many times in the middle, and his work was indeed gaudy, which made Arteta suffer from him many times.

In 75 minutes, Cheng Tao's heel pierced the crotch in the middle, and after throwing away Arteta, he kicked straight.

Henry entered the penalty area, pushed from a small angle, and the ball brushed the post and flew out of the baseline.

In the 78th minute, Cheng Tao made another pass after a breakthrough in the middle. Henry dunked with his left foot, then raised his foot and shot. Petr Cech flew to save the ball out of the baseline.

In the 83rd minute, Henry made a breakthrough, knocked off Bridge and hit the penalty spot with a kick. Cheng Tao kicked the ball.

Three minutes later, Arsenal lost the ball in the frontcourt. Sun Jihai made a quick breakthrough and then suddenly hit horizontally. After taking the ball, Cruz suddenly took a long shot.

This kind of sudden shot is so threatening. Cruz's footwork is indeed very good.

As game time dwindles, Arsenal players are increasingly anxious.

Keegan adjusted again, the last substitution, he replaced Ronaldinho with Distin, fully strengthening the defense.

In the end, Arsenal failed to make a comeback at home and was defeated by Manchester City 2:1. The latter won five consecutive victories at the start of the game and continued to lead the standings.

Defeating the giants Arsenal is obviously a great encouragement to Manchester City.

"It's hard to win at Highbury, we had two chances to score and of course the owner scored it impeccably, it was a fantastic goal and he always surprises us no doubt.

We are now at a very good stage with five consecutive victories. As a newly promoted team, obviously this is a very good result.

We have invested a lot, and this is the best reward for the boss.

Of course, it is still too early to talk about the championship, the league is a long process, but we will move towards this goal. "

Keegan still spoke calmly in the post-match press conference.

Wenger said with some regret: "The conceded goal at the beginning made us very passive. Although we equalized the score later, the opponent caught the mistakes of our goalkeeper and defender and scored the second.

Of course, the goal of the opposing boss is indeed surprising. I have never seen such a magical boss. His goals can simply be recorded in history.

Manchester City has risen, and they will become the most favorable contenders for the Premier League title this season, but we will not give up. "

Wenger undoubtedly wants to put Manchester City on fire. What he said, can other teams in the Premier League underestimate Manchester City?

I'm afraid that in every subsequent game, everyone wants to beat Manchester City, right?
