536. This is also a penalty?
Hills tried to stand up and walked a few steps, but unexpectedly his knees hurt so much that he could only fall to the ground and wave to Kompani who was approaching him.
Manchester City is still organizing an offense at this moment. Kompany had to let his teammates kick the ball out of the sideline to check Hills' condition. The team doctor on Manchester City also came on the court. They asked Hills' condition in detail, and Wen Sheng was waiting anxiously on the sideline.
Kolarov was urgently called by Brian to warm up. In Manchester in January, it was cold and cold. Kolarov had to jump a few times before playing, otherwise he would be easily injured.
Although it is very inhumane, Wenger is eager for Hills to come out quickly at this moment. The main defender on the left of England is very fast and has developed his physical strength over the years. Although he is not tall and looks thin, he can definitely cause trouble. He has contributed 5 assists to Manchester City this season.
The reason why Manchester City dares to suppress such a crazy opening is that their full-backs are indeed very smart, fast, and have strong ability to go up and down. If they get on Kolarov, Kolarov will be slow and Manchester City will forcefully play suppression. It will definitely be difficult for them to keep up with Arsenal's counterattack. Manchester City will not play suppression and engage in control flow. Arsenal's defensive pressure will also drop a little, and they can always breathe a sigh of relief.
Anyway, it's a good thing!
Hills still couldn't hold on. Wen Sheng was very depressed. After only more than ten minutes of the game, he had already lost the general. Kolarov played against Leicester City in the middle of the week, but now he had no choice but to let Kolarov play.
Of course, Wenger could not miss such an opportunity. He quickly asked Sanchez to switch positions with Coutinho, specifically asking Sanchez to deal with Kolarov.
Wen Sheng can only let the team start to control it, and he can't let the midfielder take on too many defensive responsibilities on the two wings. After all, Dembele's defensive level is not as good as Casemiro.
The game between the two sides was in a stalemate, and Arsenal was not in a hurry. It was not that Wenger did not want to score three points, but that he was accepting it as a point. After all, this was the opponent's home court.
In the live broadcast room, Ian Wright felt that Hills's outcome might be the turning point of this game. This is not understandable that Kolarov is not good, it is just Wright's feeling.
Wenger asked Sanchez to deal with Kolarov, which made Kolarov feel angry and angry. It seemed like I was a soft persimmon?! He was not impulsive, became more careful, and he always paid attention to the positions of Kompany and Dembele, and did not dare to press on easily.
In the 34th minute, Arsenal intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack. However, because Manchester City's return to defense was very fast, Arsenal eventually became a positional battle. Logically speaking, Manchester City's defensive formation was well arranged, so Arsenal should have no chance, but the referee Kratenberg forced himself into the role.
Monreal cut in the right side. He cooperated with his teammate Casorla at the front of the penalty area. Monreal is very smart, really smart. Since he is close to Van Dijk, he ran into the penalty area after passing the ball, but hit Van Dijk and he fell to the ground.
Then Clattenberg's whistle rang and his finger pointed at the penalty spot.
Van Dijk was angry. Damn, he was in the penalty area, and Monreal just hit him directly! The two people were too close to him, so he didn't even have a chance to dodge. In his opinion, this kind of ball was not a penalty kick at all, and Monreal should have a fake fall.
Manchester City players were very dissatisfied. They thought Monreal had faked a fall, but Arsenal players believed that Van Dijk was indeed blocking a foul in the penalty area!
Wen Sheng laughed furiously, "What a smart guy! What a smart guy!"
Brian and others shouted loudly on the sidelines to the court, but unfortunately all this was useless, so Clattenberg naturally would not change his penalty.
The players were still arguing in the stadium, but Wensheng walked to the fourth official to complain. Wenger happened to be here. Wensheng asked Wenger with a smile that was hopeless and unrequited, "This is also a penalty kick?"
"They have obvious physical contact! Van Dijk really blocked Monreal!" Wenger replied to Wensheng.
"If you think so, then I really have nothing to say!" Wen Sheng's helpless smile happened to appear in the broadcasting competition, which was quite sympathetic.
"This is obviously not a penalty! This is definitely a wrong penalty! Daniel Wen's expression shows that he is unbelievable!" Xiao Lei shouted for injustice for Manchester City!
"It looks more like Monreal hitting Van Dijk!" Wright also completely agreed with Little Lei's point of view.
Not only the two of them said that this was not enough to reach the penalty, most commentators around the world felt that such a penalty was too strict. Of course, some people also said that Clattenberg had to give a penalty, which seemed reasonable.
Cazorla made a penalty kick amid the booing of Manchester City fans, and Arsenal, who played away, took a 1:0 lead!
Manchester City was so angry that they were so angry. Why did Manchester City always suffer such a loss when they were talking to each other?! The last time they played against Manchester United, Oliver was shocked!
The gunpowder on the field was very strong, and Wensheng didn't stop him. He wanted to see how Clattenberg praised him. Last time Oliver couldn't raise his head, and this time he was still in danger?!
Kratenberg was not affected by the penalty just now. In fact, he had his standards when making the penalty. He believed that Van Dijk did not move, but moved. If he really stood on Monreal like a wooden stake, he would be a fake fall. But Van Dijk moved and turned around, and had a slight tendency to block. No matter how fake Monreal fell, it would be a penalty kick!
Manchester City is making great moves now, and he gave Fernandinho and Kyle Walker two yellow cards in succession. Wen Sheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. While denying Clattenberg, he had to let Manchester City players restrain their actions. If he continues to play like this, he will be killed by Clattenberg. Arsenal will take advantage of it. No matter how much Manchester City is counted, they will suffer a lot.
On the coach's seat, Brian and others tried hard to think about the team's strategy to respond to the opponent. The team's tactical change after Hills came off was a mistake, which gave Arsenal more opportunities to hit Manchester City and Manchester City at halftime. If you oppress, you still have to oppress!
"What should I do now?" Wen Sheng sat on the coach's seat with a cold face.
"We can only oppress and re-press them! They have got too many opportunities to move forward, and Coutinho and Sanchez don't have to launch long-distance raids. Their attack trio can create a threat. On the contrary, keeping them away from our dangerous areas is more beneficial to my defense, and we can also increase the frontcourt attackers! Of course, the defense line of counterattack has to be concerned, and our overall nature needs to be maintained!" Brian advised Wensheng.
Now these assistant coaches not only focus on training, but also need to formulate various plans for Wen Sheng to refer to on the spot.
Wensheng nodded. He felt that he was too careful and shouldn't have retreated like that.
Chapter completed!
