The referee thought it was a normal confrontation, and Campbell lost because he couldn't keep up with his speed and his skills were inferior.
Campbell was particularly wronged.
After this goal, Manchester City decisively started making substitutions.
Some people actually don't understand this approach.
Because since you scored a goal, it means there is no problem with your current configuration.
So why change?
Manchester City quickly told everyone why with actions.
Lahm replaces Ashley Young.
Maicon replaces Sun Jihai.
Yaya Toure replaces David Silva.
Bros!
Go big!
After seeing these three people, Manchester City fans were obviously excited.
Although Manchester City claims to have 20 main-level players.
But in fact, everyone knows that Manchester City's team in the league and UEFA Cup is their real main team.
And now these three are players from the main team.
In fact, although Manchester City has always said that most of the games in the English League Cup and even the FA Cup will be played by this young substitute team.
But for this crucial battle, they still have extra preparations.
There were five main players on their bench today.
Their arrival was obviously not a surprise.
Manchester City has long been prepared to merge with Arsenal.
And...Man City's next offensive can already be imagined.
There are two fearsome full-back pairings in the Premier League this season.
One is Ashley Cole, Wu Xudong’s Arsenal winger.
The other one is Lahm Maicon’s Manchester City winger!
These are the two wings with the strongest offensive power in the Premier League.
And now, they are about to fly against each other!
In the midfield, Yaya Toure appears.
With the departure of Sun Jihai, the Chinese Derby ended.
But the Toure Brothers derby begins again.
If we say that the double defensive midfielder combination of Vieira and Gilbert Silva is outstanding in terms of defense.
The trio of Mascherano, Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas also has certain dominance on both offense and defense.
Especially for Yaya Toure, European media generally believe that, except for Deng Kai, Yaya Toure can replace any midfielder in the world.
It doesn’t matter if you are Deco, Ronaldinho or Kaka, it doesn’t matter if you are Lampard, Gerrard or Vieira.
Better offensively than Toure, except for offense, basically not as good as Toure.
Better defensively than Toure, except for defense, he is basically inferior to Toure.
It is better organized than Toure, except for the organization, it is basically inferior to Toure.
This is a super hexagonal midfielder!
After two or three years of hard work, Toure is becoming a top star with undefeated Manchester City this season!
Seventy-seven minutes.
Toure had a fight with Vieira in the middle.
The two super black and fierce confrontations can be described as fist-fighting.
In the end, Deng Kai also came over and took away the football.
Gilbert Silva chased Deng Kai and was bitten.
Deng Kai dribbled horizontally, avoiding pursuit, and brought the football to the wing.
Pires came to fight.
As a result, Deng Kai took advantage of Pires' opportunity to grab the ball and rushed towards Pires. Then he opened up his speed and got rid of Pires in a stagger.
Pires was shocked.
Can Deng Kai have such speed on horseback?
Is this same yellow skin really not possessed by Wu Xudong?
This is the disadvantage of surround.
One-on-one, Gilbert Silva actually hopes to stay with Deng Kai.
When Pires came to surround him, Gilbert Silva had to give up a defensive area to Pires.
And Pires's own defensive ability is not strong.
It was much easier for Deng Kai to break through from Pires.
And he got rid of two people in one breath.
Arsenal's defense was therefore challenged.
Ashley Cole and Deng Kai faced off.
Deng Kai kept cycling under his feet.
boom!
When Maicon passed Deng Kai, Deng Kai completed a through ball.
Football and Maicon went through Ashley Cole.
Although Ashley Cole was very flexible with his feet, he immediately turned around and chased Maicon.
But Maicon is not Sun Jihai, he is also a relatively top speed player.
Ashley Cole couldn't catch up for a while.
It looked like Maicon was about to raise his foot and pass the ball.
Ashley Cole's gambling style flying and stretching his legs to block the ball.
However, Maicon's right foot did touch the football, but the football did not fly.
This is not a cross.
It's an inverted triangle pass.
Perfectly avoiding Ashley Cole's defense.
Deng Kai, who had just sent a through ball, then ran to the right side of the penalty area.
When people arrive, Maicon's inverted triangle pass will also arrive.
Deng Kai swung his legs on the spot.
It directly stunned all Arsenal's defensive players.
boom!
Deng Kai took the ball and took a step forward, then used all the power of his right foot and made a violent cross.
The ball passed through Campbell, hit Kolo Toure's foot and ricocheted into the Arsenal goal.
Own goals!
"Wow! Three to three!"
"Deng Kai's cross ball resulted in Kolo Toure's own goal!"
"This cross was too hard! It was too fast! Campbell didn't even have a chance to take the kick, and Kolo Toure didn't have any chance to dodge!"
"I seriously doubt that this is not an own goal! If you tell me it was designed by Deng Kai, I believe it!"
"I strongly suggest that the organizers count this ball as an assist from Deng Kai. This is really exciting!"
too fast!
Deng Kai is too fast!
Maicon is too fast!
Deng Kai's passing is also faster!
Arsenal were completely stunned by this goal.
After playing for nearly eighty minutes, the score reached three to three, and both sides acted as if nothing had happened.
But some people already had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Arsenal were clearly overwhelmed.
Because although their left and right midfielders Pires, Ljungberg, and even forward Reyes are not slow.
But this is different from Deng Kai having speed.
When Deng Kai didn't have speed, he was almost unstoppable.
Once he has speed, he can really do whatever he wants on the offensive end of the frontcourt.
In order to deal with Deng Kai, Arsenal's two full midfielders had to come back to help the team.
Only with a sufficient number of people can we give Arsenal a sense of security at this time.
But when your defense needs numbers to create a sense of security, it itself means that your defense has lost its protective role.
Eighty-three minutes.
Lahm dribbled the ball forward from the left and then passed the ball to Deng Kai.
Deng Kai almost knocked Ljungberg down with a fake move after receiving the ball.
As a result, Deng Kai stayed where he was and passed the football to Cesc Fabregas.
Fabregas made a 45-degree cross to Torres.
Kolo Toure blocked Torres and made a clearance without making any more mistakes.
Manchester City received a corner kick.
Then Deng Kai took a corner kick.
Thiago Silva's header hit the crossbar.
Missed an opportunity to help the team take the lead.
