Chapter 85 Roller Coaster
"Change direction again, Aguero chose to pull the side, Mertesac did not follow closely, he was guarding against other opponents' transfers, oh~, Aguero passed the ball!"
Maybe Mertesack's choice is right, but this does give Aguero the most comfortable space for passing and controlling.
When Akun's position reached the golden distance that was most suitable for passing the ball, Alves, who was desperately chasing back, had just come behind him, so he easily drove the ball out.
"Swish~"
The ball was slammed hard and passed to the middle, and the cruise missile-like transmission appeared in the Gunners' penalty area in an instant.
"Bang!"
"Dzeko headed the ball in the middle and the ball was pushed into the goal, the ball went in!!!"
"boom!"
With Dzeko heading down steadily, the entire Etihad Stadium burst into a huge roar again. Faced with the other leading by his home team, the Blue Moon fans were all cheering.
In contrast, Arsenal was a little sad. The opponent's successful breakthrough and the final pass were quite exquisite, and the Gunners' old players participated.
Faced with the rebellion from his former teammates, the Gunners' chests were a little dull.
Although this is professional football, the change in the identity of teammates who once fought side by side and knocked on their own doors again and again is not something that can be digested in a short time.
Aguero, who gave the assist, obviously noticed the emotional changes of Arsenal's entire team. This time he did not participate in the team's celebration but quietly walked towards his own half.
This is the last gentleness of this man who has been accepted by Blue Moon in the future and is about to become Blue Moon's flag to his old boss.
"There is not much time left in the first half, and Manchester United's goal will allow them to enter the midfield with a leading edge, which is a big boost to their morale."
On the court, Manchester City celebrated for a long time, and it was not until the referee urged these Blue Moon players to return to the serving position.
When Arsenal took the ball and passed it for a while, the referee directly blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the score was frozen at 1-2.
The players of both teams hurriedly followed their coach and entered the player channel. The huge physical exhaust in the first half made them not have too many expressions.
...
In the Gunners' locker room, J Ronaldo lowered his head and covered his face after sitting in the locker room. When he thought of his two goals being created by his opponents as a breakthrough in the first half, the young man was filled with self-blame.
"In the first half, James did a great job of creating opportunities, and I need each of you to try this way."
What J Luo did not expect was that the professor neither furiously replaced him or scolded him, but walked to him and patted him on the shoulder to signal him to raise his head.
"Defense, after the first mistake, he has been fully focused on fulfilling his duties and continues to maintain it in the second half."
"Okay, good coach!"
"So, let's summarize the overall problems of the team."
After showing an encouraging smile to J Ronaldo, Wenger turned to the tactical board, and in the following time he analyzed almost every problem that the team had in the first half.
From midfield defense to mistakes in Aguero's personal marking, each of his comments goes to the core and follow up with an improvement method afterwards.
For example, against Aguero, Wilshire's position directly reaches the midfielder, and the team changed to the 4132nd place. The next main task of this midfielder is to closely follow Aguero in the position of defending his opponent's Shadow Front.
For example, the positions of the other three people will be directly shrinking, increasing their direct defensive linkage, and they can give up certain offensive tasks if necessary.
All of these things naturally want to curb Manchester City's offense first. After all, Blue Moon really plays with people in this game.
In terms of offense, the professor's advice was very simple. He asked Giroud to do a fulcrum task and the team tried more with two shots.
In other words, long shots and breakthroughs after Giroud's kick will become the team's main offensive method in the second half. After all, Manchester City's defense against the first point of passing is really extremely strict.
"This game is more difficult than we expected, but this is by no means a reason for us to give up. There are still 45 minutes left for us. One goal behind is nothing. Even in the away game, I hope you can play with your style!"
"I understand the boss!"
At the end of the intermission, the players walked out of the locker room with the professor's earnest motivation. The players held their heads and chests one by one. After a break, they were full of energy again.
"The players on both sides have returned to the stadium, and Arsenal will be the first to kick off the second half. Giroud and Liu Feng have already stood in front of the kickoff point."
“嘘~嘘!!!”
The long whistle sounded and the ball was taken out. Liu Feng received the pass and gave it to Gansuo, who passed it to Wilshire. Just as for the opening, Arsenal still chose to be steady.
They first need to determine Manchester City's opening strategy to adjust the team's offensive tactics.
So, five minutes after the kick-off in the second half, Arsenal were all in a state of testing their opponents.
Fortunately, the players soon realized that Manchester City had a half-time break and were not in a hurry to continue to expand the score, but chose to play conservatively.
In this case, Neymar, Ganso and J Ronaldo, who were responsible for the attack after the change of formation, began their operations.
A good breakthrough player and two passers-by players have different characteristics, but they both gave Manchester City midfield a headache after getting the ball. In the 52nd minute of the game, an exciting attack from Arsenal came.
"Ganso got rid of Yaya Toure's press in the middle and passed the ball diagonally across the midfield line. He delivered it very accurately. Neymar got the ball."
The moment Neymar got the ball, Navas rushed over from behind him, but the Brazilian genius pulled the ball with his eyes and turned around and knocked it over the opponent.
"Navas was passed, and he pushed the ball directly and passed it diagonally!"
"Swish!"
The ball flew directly from the left side of the court to Manchester City's penalty area. Although the position was not so accurate, Giroud still moved quickly and pushed the ball hard before Kompany.
"The header was swung, and the ball was made near the top of the penalty area. Liu Feng followed up with a volley!!!"
"Bang!"
“DUANG!”
A long shot with a powerful and heavy shot, a shocking sound of heartstrings, and when the ball hit the underside of the beam and bounced towards the ground and then bounced into the goal, countless fans felt like they had experienced a roller coaster in their hearts.
"The ball, the ball is in! Liu Feng! The world's goal is scored!!!"
