"Viewers, this is a live broadcast for you by Sky Sports. In the 2010-2011 season, the highlight of the 22nd round of the Premier League, Arsenal will face Manchester City at home."
"This is a showdown between the current Premier League table leaders and the third-placed team."
"Manchester City has performed very well this season. Since reversing Chelsea, they have been occupying the leading position. Arsenal's current ranking is not bad. As a veteran team, they have a strong foundation in the Premier League. This is
Something that upstart Manchester City doesn’t have.”
"In the previous first-round match between the two sides, Arsenal drew 3-3 with Manchester City away from home."
"However, that game sparked a fierce controversy because the referee gave the home team Manchester City a red card and sent off Micah Richards just four minutes into the game, forcing Manchester City to play for the entire game.
There is always one less person to fight in the game.”
"It can be said that the two teams have deep grudges, and now we have reached the most critical moment of the league."
"Arsenal, who are playing at home, will send out all their main players tonight."
"The goalkeeper is Fabianski, the defense is Clichy, Koscielny, Djurou and Sagna, the midfield is Alexander Song in the back, Cesc Fabregas and Denilson are in front, and the frontcourt is
The trident of Nasri, Van Persie and Theo Walcott."
"We can see that Wilshere, the local youngster whom Wenger trusts very much, was put on the bench, as well as Chamakh, Rosicky and other players, all of whom have performed very well this season. I believe it will be this match.
The surprise player of the game.”
"Manchester City also used their best four-three-three formation."
"The goalkeeper is Joe Hart, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Kompany and Zabaleta, the midfielder is Busquets at the back, David Silva and Toni Kroos are in the center, and the frontline is
The field is a combination of Di Maria, Sudong and Sanchez."
"Manchester City is now very strong and there are not many injuries."
"In order to better compete for the league championship, the transfer market has just opened during the winter break. Manchester City has already waved its checkbook and introduced a number of powerful players, which has greatly strengthened the team's lineup and overall strength.
."
"We have absolutely reason to believe that Manchester City this season has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Premier League."
"This is tonight's referee Mike Jones."
…
Under the leadership of referee Mike Jones, players from both teams walked out of the court one after another.
Arsenal were greeted by cheers, while Manchester City were greeted by overwhelming boos.
Especially Su Dong, who is walking at the front of the team. He is the tallest and is like the flag-bearer of Manchester City. He has withstood the most boos and abuses, which is what any team will encounter in an away game.
Manchester City won the ball on a side-guessing move and Arsenal didn't seem to care.
"How about it?"
When Su Dong walked back to his own half, Pepe and others immediately came to greet him.
"It seems that they are well prepared." Su Dong replied.
This is purely the experience he has accumulated from many years of competition.
Although the game has not started yet, looking at the energy of the Arsenal players, it is not difficult to see that they are also carefully preparing for this game, and may even be more prepared than Manchester City.
After all, Manchester City's staff are not as experienced as Arsenal in dealing with the devilish Christmas schedule.
"What should we do?" Pepe asked again.
Su Dong grinned and laughed, "Just do it and it's done!"
…………
…………
As the referee blew his whistle, Su Dong quickly kicked the ball to Sanchez.
The latter took a few steps to the right, passed back to Busquets who was trailing behind in the midfield, and then passed back to the defense.
Kompany stopped the ball forward and passed a long ball directly to the frontcourt to find Su Dong.
However, the Belgian central defender's long pass was a little too hasty, and it was somewhat different from Su Dong's original plan.
Koscielny quickly chased back and caught up with the ball at the edge of the penalty area. As soon as he stopped the ball, a warning from goalkeeper Fabianski came next to him.
"Watch your back."
Koscielny was taken aback and immediately protected the ball. He felt a pressure coming from behind him. He immediately passed the ball back to the goalkeeper and felt the pressure behind him release.
A gust of wind passed by, and Su Dong rushed towards the goalkeeper.
This made Koscielny curse in his mind: Damn, you are so fast!
After receiving Koscielno's return pass, Fabianski was already prepared for Sudong's pressing. He dunked to his right and quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt.
Pepe grabbed the spot and headed the ball to Kompany, and Manchester City regained the ball.
After a continuous back-and-forth pass, Manchester City pushed the ball past the center line again.
After Toni Kroos got the ball on the right side of the center circle, he took a few steps to the right and suddenly sent a through ball, which was accurately passed behind Clichy.
Sanchez suddenly started, sprinted hard with speed, stopped the ball before Clichy, ignored Clichy's entanglement, entered the Arsenal penalty area, and suddenly stopped in front of the baseline, dunking Clichy
After that, he dribbled the ball straight to the center line, attracted the defensive attention, and suddenly knocked back to the edge of the penalty area.
David Silva quickly followed up and shot directly.
The ball missed the goal slightly.
…
Guardiola watched the game intently from the sidelines.
He found that Wenger consciously adopted a shrinking defense tonight and did not intend to fight Manchester City head-on.
Obviously, Arsenal's goal is to stabilize the defense first.
Could it be that Wenger guessed that he would take advantage of Arsenal's weaknesses to organize the attack?
Guardiola couldn't guess Wenger's thoughts, but after thinking about it, he knew that Wenger couldn't possibly not know.
Of course, Wenger cannot be so conservative that he does not allow the team to counterattack and attack, but relatively speaking, he plays more conservatively and the team retreats faster.
Therefore, Guardiola quickly walked to the sidelines and signaled the team to speed up the attack and switch from defense to offense quickly after stealing the ball.
Both passing and running must be fast!
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as Guardiola finished speaking, David Silva suddenly sent a pass to Di Maria's feet, Argentina
The winger fired furiously with his left foot, but the shot was forced and did not threaten Arsenal's goal.
Guardiola walked to the sidelines and applauded Di Maria's shot, but also signaled for him to open up more width.
"More activities on the wing to pull Sagna apart."
Guardiola walked over and explained to Di Maria who was walking back.
The Argentinian gasped and nodded in agreement.
By spreading the defense, Su Dong in the middle will have a better chance.
Guardiola also keenly noticed just now that Denilson returned to defense very quickly.
"David, when you get the ball, don't carry it too much, be careful with Denilson." Guardiola reminded.
David Silva raised his left hand, and he also noticed it.
When Manchester City switches from defense to attack, Arsenal always adopts a strategy of quickly returning to defense. Denilson always immediately returns to Alexander Song to help defend, looking like a double midfielder.
David Silva looked at Sudong and found that he began to approach Arsenal's two central defenders intentionally or unintentionally, and sent a clear signal to David Silva and Toni Kroos.
He is sure to break through Arsenal's defense and ask his teammates to pass the ball to him.
David Silva measured the distance of his passing. He did not move forward too much, but moved to the side intentionally or unintentionally.
Di Maria, David Silva, and Marcelo are enough to draw Arsenal's defensive attention to this side.
…
In the sixth minute, Manchester City launched an offensive from the left. After receiving the ball from the defense, Marcelo quickly dribbled the ball forward and passed it to David Silva who ran into the gap.
The Spanish midfielder stopped the ball in an unguarded area. As soon as he turned around, he found that Denilson was about to return to his position.
In front of him, Arsenal has organized two lines of defense.
But David Silva didn't intend to take the ball and rush forward, but looked ahead.
Djurou stood on the left, and there was a certain gap between him and Koscielny. Su Dong intentionally or unintentionally moved around, waiting for David Silva to pass the ball.
The Spaniard understood what was happening. After turning around and adjusting, he quickly passed the ball to Su Dong with his left foot without waiting for Walcott, who was returning to defense, to approach.
Almost at the moment David Silva passed the ball, Sudong quickly approached Koscielny.
When David Silva's pass came over, Sudong just happened to rush away from Koscielny. He got in from the back row and stopped the ball with his chest towards the penalty area. He accelerated to catch up and formed a one-on-one shot.
Both Djoru and Koscielny were shocked, and they chased after each other.
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Wenger was already shouting excitedly.
"Damn it, stop him!"
After Su Dong accelerated to catch up with the football, he had already rushed to the left side of the penalty spot.
Goalkeeper Fabianski abandoned the goal and struck out, but Su Dong had dealt with such one-on-one goals many times.
After deceiving Fabianski with a skillful fake move, Su Dong pushed the ball to the empty goal behind him with his left foot. His momentum continued unabated and he continued to run towards the sidelines, leaping high and rushing to follow the ball.
Manchester City fans cheered with their fists as the team came to the away game.
The referee Mike Jones's goal was valid, and the whistle sounded. The entire Emirates Stadium was filled with crazy cheers from Manchester City fans and exclamations from Arsenal fans.
No one expected that the goal would come so quickly!
In front of the home team's coaching bench on the sidelines, Wenger looked at the court in shock. He never imagined that his carefully prepared defense would have such obvious loopholes and mistakes.
The gap between Djurou and Koscielny is too big.
Although David Silva did not step forward, his passing accuracy and the tacit understanding between him and Su Dong made up for the distance between them on the court and seized the gap in Arsenal's defense.
Damn it!
"One to zero!"
"In just six minutes of the game, Manchester City got off to a fantastic start."
"Su Dong's goal opened the scoring for Manchester City and also caught Arsenal off guard in the away game."
"Wenger also seemed very disappointed. The gap between Djurou and Koscielny was too big. Su Dong keenly captured this opportunity, and David Silva's pass was also just right. The two
