Chapter 860 The more you don't want to happen, the more it happens
"After two goals were lost, Arsenal had a big problem in defense of Balotelli, the score came to 3-2, and the suspense of this game reappeared."
Looking at the Gunners who quickly came to the professor to listen to the teachings on the court, Liu Jianhong could clearly feel the changes in the entire Gunners' team's status.
The opponent was chasing two goals in a row with three goals, which was the rhythm of being turned over.
In substitutions, Cazorla still came on as a substitute to replace Walcott, but in the adjustment of the full-back, the Gunners were no longer Alba but veteran Macon.
This player who has sufficient experience in Serie A and has been teammates with Balotelli is undoubtedly easier to use in defense than Alves, who has more offensive attributes than Alves, who has more defensive attributes.
So, when the game started again, the Gunners' substitution quota was all used up.
"Shh!"
"Okay, the game started again. Liu Feng pushed the ball to Aguero in front of him. The ball was given to the middle. The two quickly entered Manchester City's half. The team was recovered one after another, which made the two players have to be active again."
As Ganso controlled the ball and began to cooperate with Ramsey and Cassorla, the morale Blue Moon players quickly pressed on, and Balotelli even inserted all the way from the left and waited for the team's chance to counterattack after the team intercepted the ball.
In this regard, the Gunners' midfield possession and passing are obviously more cautious. On some dangerous balls, Gansuo chose not to pass if he could, and then stabilize the situation first.
After several presses failed, Manchester City passed the 80-minute mark. Mancini on the sidelines directly used up his substitution quota.
Midfielder Sinclair came on as a substitute to replace Barry, Blue Moon's defensive iron gate got a chance to rest, and the wing forward Nasri came on as a substitute, and he replaced Tevez on the right to become the team's winger.
This player is also an old player of the Gunners, and he is also a main rotation position at Manchester City today.
After the substitution, Manchester City's offense was obviously more crazy and active. After getting the ball, David Silva in the midfield kept sending balls to Balotelli to try to use the player's good form to equalize the game in one fell swoop.
However, Macon's existence gradually made their hopes fade.
As a full-back who was once a teammate, Macon is very familiar with Balotelli's offensive routines and methods. He perfectly stuck his opponent in several positions selections, which made Ba Shen very uncomfortable.
In this case, time passes quickly, and Manchester City's offense has to start taking risks frequently.
"The game is 87 minutes, and there is not much time left for Manchester City."
Entering the countdown, looking at Arsenal, who still leads with one goal, Liu Jianhong's voice also sounded. It seems that although it is a bit surprising that the opponent scored two goals back, Arsenal should be fine to win this game.
However, things always develop unexpectedly, and sometimes the more you don’t want something to happen, the more something happens.
In the 89th minute of the game, Aguero received a straight pass from Ganso and was directly shot by Joe Hart, and then as the goalkeeper kicked out, Manchester City's counterattack started.
This time, when the ball was given to Balotelli on the left, Maicon stood up and he kicked Ba Shen down on the right in the midfield, but it did not really hurt him.
When Macon reached out to pull up the fallen Balotelli, the two former teammates even hugged them a little.
"Indirect free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, David Silva came to the front of the ball, and three forwards had already entered the threatening area. It seems that this pass should be directly passed into the penalty area."
"Bang!"
As soon as Zhan Jun finished speaking, the ball was driven out by a big foot. The ball flew through a large area and then directly hit the penalty area. With the impact of Manchester City's forward line, the Gunners' back line quickly followed, and the entire penalty area was in chaos for a moment.
"Murtsack hit the ball first, and the header cleared the ball but did not go out of the penalty area. Under Dzeko's interference, he did not hit the ball. Nasri came to the ball and shot directly! It was blocked by Gibbs, and the ball rebounded back again."
"Bang!"
It was almost time for a moment that a figure appeared again. After Macon's speed disadvantage was revealed, Balotelli took the lead in front of the ball.
"Ballotelli appeared again, and shot the ball! The ball passed Szczesny's hands, the ball went in! In! In! In!!!"
A magical scene appeared, and Balotelli, who came on as a substitute, scored twice and assisted in less than 30 minutes.
The gun fans in the stands were stunned, while the fans of Blue Moon were completely infuriated.
"3-3! Incredible, unbelievable, Manchester City equalized the score, Balotelli's appearance directly reversed the situation, and Mancini's substitution played a role in resurrection."
Mancini on the sidelines was also incredibly and excited at the moment. Looking at Balotelli, who was still rushing to the corner flag area with no expression after scoring the goal on the field, he even regretted putting him in the transfer window in this summer window.
“…”
On the court, the celebration after Manchester City scored a goal is as lively as the Arsenal players are. The game has just entered ninety minutes, and they spent thirty minutes to get their opponents to chase three goals in a row, which is really a bit fascinating.
Wenger on the sidelines was also quite angry. He began to yell loudly at the players on the field for questioning their defensive problems, and then he also adjusted the lineup.
By adjusting Ramsey to the midfielder, the Gunners made the same choice as Manchester City. This change that increases depth defense will undoubtedly give them more room for mistakes in the future.
The electronic card for injury stoppage time on the sidelines lit up at the right time, and the referee gave the game a full 4 minutes of overtime.
This has more hope for both teams to win.
Especially Manchester City, their morale reached an unprecedented level after chasing three goals in a row. After a brief celebration, the players quickly ran back to their homes for fear of wasting a minute and a second of time.
Facing this action by the opponent, the Gunners were not afraid. Under the shout of captain Liu Feng, everyone quickly returned to their respective positions and passed the ball to the kickoff point.
"There are 4 minutes left in the game, which is enough for the two teams to complete an offense or counterattack. This game will determine the outcome in injury time."
Staring at the scene without blinking, Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun's eyes were both unblinking.
The same was true for the fans in the stands. Manchester City fans began to sing team songs after the crazy celebrations, and Gunners fans also shouted to cheer for the players.
