Manchester City Macho Bar.

The TV is replaying the moment of Bergkamp's volley.

"Really... really beautiful this ball."

In the quiet bar, a Manchester City diehard fan blurted out his praise.

However, no one jumped out to say him, because everyone present had to admit that this goal was as exquisite as a work of art.

Even though it came from Manchester City's opponent Arsenal.

Old Tom shook his head and said with a little self-mockery: "It seems that I will have to treat you to beer this week."

Instead, the other fans came forward to comfort Old Tom.

"This is just the beginning, don't worry!"

"I think Old Tom, you just want us to drink for free, haha."

"How can I let you treat me all the time? What if I finish my pension by then? Today, your beer, I will treat you!"

......

At the same time, Islington community in London.

The homeless old man holds the 500-pound lottery ticket.

Standing outside a furniture store with a frown on his face, watching the game between Manchester City and Arsenal through a transparent glass window.

From time to time, he could hear the cheers of passers-by Arsenal fans.

"God really won't allow pie in the sky to happen."

................................

Etihad Stadium.

The players from both sides returned to the center circle, and no Manchester City player could show a relaxed expression.

A goal was scored in the first 8 minutes, and Arsenal's full offensive firepower in these 8 minutes.

This put a lot of pressure on every Manchester City player.

"Beep!"

"The game continues!"

"Manchester City has the ball!"

"Su Fei kicks off!"

"Su Fei knocks the ball back to Cole!"

"Cole passes it diagonally to Knight on the wing!"

"Knight didn't have a good chance to pass the ball, and was forced to pass it to Sun Jihai who was responding in the back."

Even though they had taken a 1-goal lead, Arsenal still adopted an aggressive defensive strategy.

He kept rushing up in one-on-one situations, hoping to force Manchester City to make a mistake in passing.

The ball ran around Manchester City's backcourt, and was finally passed to goalkeeper James by Dunn.

James kicked the ball hard in front of the goal again.

With James' kick, the ball finally flew over the heavily defended center circle of Arsenal and flew to Su Fei.

Su Fei and Fabregas leaned together to fight for the high ball.

"Bang!"

Su Fei easily knocked down Fabregas after jumping up, and headed the ball to Knight who was advancing on the wing.

Although Su Fei's aerial passing attribute is not high, with the blessing of the full-level header, he is now the best header passer in Manchester City.

Knight easily unloaded the accurate pass on the right side.

Facing Hleb who rushed over.

While picking up the ball with his right foot, he stood up and accelerated, and successfully completed the pass!

Stuart clapped his hands with satisfaction on the side of the court.

"Knight is the guy that worries me the most. I didn't expect that he would stand up first at the critical moment!"

Knight continued to dribble the ball on the wing, and Arsenal's right-back Eboue chose to take the initiative and rushed over.

This time.

Knight wanted to repeat the same trick and picked up the ball with his left foot again, trying to pass Eboue, but he didn't control the strength well and rushed out of the sideline with the ball.

"Knight!!!"

"Did you put glue on your fucking feet?!"

"Bring the ball to the middle!"

Stewart, who was praising Knight a second ago, suddenly yelled angrily.

Knight pulled up his jersey to wipe the sweat to cover up his embarrassment, and didn't dare to look at Stewart's direction at all.

......

The 19th minute of the game.

Arsenal, who was attacking in a big way, penetrated the middle through the players' exquisite and precise short passes and sent the ball to the heart of Manchester City.

It was Henry who dribbled the ball in the middle.

Barton and Reina quickly retreated and participated in the defense in front of their own penalty area.

Reina rushed to Henry from the side and fought against him.

However.

This did not stop Henry's footsteps. After being hit, Henry instantly stabilized his center of gravity, stretched out his left foot and poked the football forward.

Then he accelerated and shook off Reina.

Henry had already brought the ball to the top of the penalty area. Dunn stepped forward with experience without sticking to him, using his body to compress the angle of Henry's shot.

"Henry!!"

"Sudden kick and rub shot!"

"This ball!"

"The arc is too flat, it flew directly out of the baseline!!"

"It's a pity that Henry shot this time. He was too impatient. If he adjusted it properly, or looked for his teammate Bergkamp next to him, it would be a better opportunity!"

Stuart nodded with satisfaction for Dunn's wonderful defense on the sidelines, but he sawNot far away, Arsene Wenger was shouting at the court in dissatisfaction.

"Thierry!!"

"What are you doing, Thierry!"

"Why don't you pass the ball to Dennis!"

Seeing this scene, Stewart showed a bitter smile. Wenger also has anxious times.

And Henry on the court once again showed Wenger a reassuring gesture-Boss, believe me, no problem!

The game continues.

Arsenal still has an offensive strategy of pressing forward on the offensive end, and one goal does not seem to satisfy their appetite.

They urgently need a second goal to further hit Manchester City's momentum.

However, what makes Stewart slightly satisfied is that after the opening goal, the players have become more cautious and hard-working on the defensive end.

In a short period of time, it is still a little difficult for Arsenal to easily send the ball to the vicinity of Manchester City's penalty area.

However, this situation did not last too long.

......

26th minute of the game.

Ljungberg's dribbling breakthrough on the left wing once again tore open Manchester City's backcourt defense from the flank.

Mills' risky attempt to steal the ball resulted in a clean pass.

Then Ljungberg cut inside with the ball and went deep into Manchester City's hinterland.

"Arsenal's attack in front of the goal is coming again!"

"Ljungberg!"

"Pass the ball to Henry who is advancing!"

"Henry fell to the ground and shot!"

"A weak kick!"

"Did Henry slip?"

"Manchester City goalkeeper James held the ball in his arms."

"He stood up quickly!"

"Kick the ball hard!"

"Manchester City's defensive counterattack!"

"This is an opportunity!!"

James made the most correct decision at the moment when Arsenal's backcourt defense was the weakest!

He kicked the ball directly to Su Fei in the frontcourt!

At this time, Su Fei!

Facing the direction where the ball was flying, with his back to the goal, he was entangled with Arsenal central defender Kolo Toure!

Although Kolo Toure was a head shorter than Su Fei, he cleverly hugged Su Fei's waist and pushed his knees forward to limit Su Fei's leg strength.

Wait.

This scene!

Stuart, who saw this scene on the sidelines, suddenly remembered the scene between Su Fei and Dunn in the training match! !

Wenger, who was on the sidelines, saw Manchester City's long pass to the goal and drank a sip of water expressionlessly.

Because at this time, Kolo Toure, the defender he trusted most, had already entangled Su Fei.

Let alone converting this ball into a goal.

Even if Su Fei was lucky enough to touch the ball, he would definitely not be able to hold the ball under Kolo Toure's restriction!

Because Su Fei didn't have that skill at all!

This is Wenger's confidence.

This confidence comes from the study of Su Fei's World Youth Championship and two rounds of Premier League games.

At this time.

The football has come to Su Fei.
