860 Even if I die, I will have someone to support me!
When he saw Su Dong score Arsenal's goal, Guardiola curled his lips helplessly in front of the home team's coaching bench, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, with an innocent expression on his face, as if to say: I'm really sorry for you.
Method!
It was clearly agreed that it was half an hour, but you scored in eight minutes. What does that mean?
Are you so disrespectful to Mr. Wenger?
Young people, do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?
Can't you just take it easy? Even if you score another goal in a few minutes tonight, that's fine!
But I felt so happy in my heart, and I couldn't hide the surprise on my face. I was so happy that I couldn't help but let out a whoop, applauding Su Dong's goal.
Sometimes, Guardiola himself couldn't help but sigh, Su Dong is so amazing!
Every time you watch him play, he can surprise you.
Just like just now, a seemingly simple goal actually showed a very comprehensive and outstanding strength.
Before David Silva passed through, he circled around Koscielny and confused his opponent.
Koscielny probably thought that Su Dong was going to the middle, but he suddenly crossed behind him and caught Koscielny off guard. This showed Su Dong's cunning movement.
Being able to quickly get rid of Koscielny and catch up with David Silva's through ball shows Sudong's speed and explosive power.
Stopping suddenly, smashing the ball, flicking his left foot laterally, following up to hit the goal, and getting into the blind corner. This not only reflects Su Dong's excellent shooting skills, but also his left foot skills.
He is a guy who can kick his left foot as flexibly as his right foot!
Who else in the world is as comprehensive and outstanding a player as he is?
…
After Su Dong scored, Manchester City played more calmly.
On the contrary, the Gunners changed from their previous solid defense and replaced Chamakh, adopting a two-forward tactic.
When it was zero to zero, Wenger could still hold on. Now it's zero to one. If he holds on again, will he give up the promotion rights to Manchester City?
Wenger could no longer accept this result, so he chose to burn the boat.
Soon, the Gunners made their second substitution, replacing Rosicky with Arshavin, still strengthening their attack.
All this was obviously within Manchester City's expectations.
Guardiola began to ask the team to retreat appropriately, first stabilize its defense, and then slowly plan a counterattack.
Manchester City's strategy effectively contained Arsenal's counterattack and quickly planned a counterattack.
A long pass from David Luiz in the backcourt sent the ball directly to the right side of Arsenal's penalty area.
Su Dong moved forward as quickly as possible, getting ahead of everyone and stopping the ball first.
Koscielny was stuck behind him, trying to prevent him from turning around.
But Sudong reacted quickly and promptly passed the ball to Sanchez who was following from the right. He quickly ran back to the right corner of the penalty area, directly facing the goal.
Sanchez dribbled the ball and tried to cut into the penalty area, but Gibbs and Koscielny jointly stopped him, but the Chilean winger immediately passed the ball back to Sudong, who turned around.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his left foot in the middle, then caught up and volleyed hard with his left foot.
This long-range shot from outside the penalty area was so powerful that everyone in Arsenal took a breath.
Almunia dived sideways and hit the ball first, but he could no longer hold the ball.
Adam Johnson on the left also rushed over at this time. Facing the ball blocked by Almunia, facing the goal that was no longer guarded, the England winger hit the ball without stopping.
As a result, the ball was hit too high!
There was a sigh of disappointment throughout the Etihad Stadium!
What a great opportunity, it could have ended the game.
But unfortunately, Adam Johnson missed an excellent opportunity.
…
Although they failed to score a goal, Manchester City's quick counterattack still destroyed Arsenal's arrogance and made the Gunners realize again that when they desperately attack forward, the goal behind them may be exposed to Manchester City at any time.
Under fire.
After this counterattack, Arsenal's offense was slightly restrained, but it was still very active.
This is also normal.
The FA Cup is a single game, and if Arsenal doesn't score, they will really be eliminated.
From the end of February to now, they have lost the League Cup final, been eliminated from the Champions League, and have no hope for the league. If they are even eliminated from the FA Cup, then the Gunners will really have gained nothing.
Although Gunners fans are somewhat accustomed to the weakness in recent years, it is really a bit shabby to be left empty-handed every season.
This is also the reason why Wenger shouted before the game that he wanted to reach the final.
There must always be one or two outstanding results to boost the team's fighting spirit and the morale of the fans.
…
Entering the 80th minute, especially after the 85th minute, Arsenal's offense picked up again.
But Manchester City already controlled the ball and the overall situation.
In the 87th minute, after Manchester City intercepted the ball in the middle, Thiago got rid of Wilshere's entanglement and passed the ball to David Silva. The Spanish midfielder dribbled the ball forward and quickly found the forward.
Su Dong of the field.
David Silva passed the ball to the top area of the arc. After Su Dong turned his back to stop the ball, he paused, turned around and took it to the left, quickly passed it to Adam Johnson who was following behind, and pointed to the penalty area.
left side.
Adam Johnson was very obedient. After stopping the ball, he quickly passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
Su Dong crossed the left side of the penalty area and stopped when he stopped the ball.
Poor Zhu Lu had just been teased by Su Dong. At this time, before anyone even got close, he saw Su Dong suddenly start, dribbling the ball towards the baseline, and at the same time passed the ball to the back point with his left foot.
The ball crossed near the penalty area line and fell to the right side of the penalty area.
Chilean winger Sanchez, who crossed into the penalty area from the right rib, rushed over, met Sudong's pass, and headed the ball straight into the Arsenal goal, which was just around the corner.
Two to zero!
The entire Etihad Stadium once again erupted in thunderous cheers.
All Manchester City fans are in a frenzy!
Two to zero! The situation is decided!
The Arsenal players seemed to have been drained of all their energy, and they all stood on the court like walking zombies.
Obviously, they are all in disbelief about the current situation of the team.
In fact, they are probably wondering what is going on?
Why has the team failed to achieve anything over the years over and over again?
In professional football matches, there is only one reason for constant losses, and that is the lack of strength of the team.
But after so many years, the team has lost the championship again and again. The problem of team strength has existed for so long. Why has the club done nothing? The head coach has done nothing?
Now, even captain Cesc Fabregas is about to be sold to Barcelona again.
Does that mean Arsenal may be weaker next season than they are now?
If so, what will Arsenal do to compete with others next season?
This kind of thinking is like a virus, quickly spreading to every player and firmly occupying their thoughts.
Players are all human beings, they all have their own pursuits, and everyone likes to win.
After a hard-working season, who doesn’t want to win the championship?
And when they join Arsenal, many of them want to pursue championships.
Well now, nothing after a busy season?
And they get nothing over and over again. What does this make the players think?
But any player with a little bit of pursuit can't accept such a result, right?
This is also the reason why Arsenal has been unable to retain its stars over the years.
It is completely foreseeable that Cesc Fabregas is gone and the next one will soon follow.
The iron-clad Wenger, the smooth player!
Perhaps, one day, Arsenal fans can no longer bear it and start to criticize Wenger, and Wenger's popular career will come to an end.
…
In the end, Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-0 at home with Su Dong's pass and shot after coming on as a substitute.
This is Manchester City's historic run into the FA Cup final!
When the final whistle sounded, the entire Etihad Stadium, with more than 40,000 Manchester City fans, fell into a frenzy.
Everyone is satisfied with the result.
The team is fighting on three fronts this season and has maintained a strong momentum in the FA Cup, Europa League and Premier League so far.
Now that the FA Cup has reached the final, there is definitely a chance to win the championship.
This makes Manchester City fans who have not tasted the championship for half a century, how can they not be excited? How can they not be excited?
It is estimated that at this moment, all Manchester City fans throughout Manchester are celebrating crazily.
Guardiola walked to the sidelines and hugged the Manchester City players as they walked off the court one by one.
The Manchester City fans in the stands were also shouting the names of the players one by one, especially when it was the turn of outstanding players such as David Silva, Sanchez and David Luiz, and the goalscorers.
David Silva played the entire game, and with his outstanding performance in this game, he won the best player of the game.
David Luiz has also continued his stellar performance since joining Manchester City, making people believe that he is not only a powerful substitute for Pepe and Kompany, but also a strong supplement to the team's defense.
Jerome Boateng was even pushed to the right wing by him, and the German central defender was also quite depressed about this.
He is obviously a central defender, so why does he always play the role of snake oil?
When Su Dong said goodbye to several Arsenal players, walked off the field and hugged Guardiola, the audience erupted into the most enthusiastic burst of crazy cheers, sweeping every corner of the stadium.
"Su! Su!! Su Dong!!!"
Manchester City fans kept shouting his name, one wave after another.
This shows Su Dong's lofty status in the hearts of Manchester City fans, and he never disappoints the fans.
As long as he plays, he can create a threat for the team.
It was said that Arsenal could be killed in half an hour, but Su Dong only took eight minutes.
In less than half an hour of playing time as a substitute, Su Dong created at least three excellent scoring opportunities, including the one that Adam Johnson inexplicably missed.
This also allowed Manchester City, and even everyone else, to see Sudong's value to this team.
Even Wenger, after losing, had to admit that letting Su Dong as a substitute made Arsenal very passive.
"Su Dong is indeed a headache, but it will be Lao Lei's turn to suffer from headaches next!"
Wenger smiled maliciously, sending chills down Guardiola's back.
Does this mean that you are having a hard time, and you have to support yourself even if you die?
