Chapter 93 Outside the Blue Moon Restricted Area
Mancini has always been a pragmatic coach, and his style of leading the team has always been mainly defensive. After joining Manchester City, his style continues.
This means that the team's first defense line in the midfield does not hurt Blue Moon's defense at all.
When Bentner got the ball in Manchester City's midfield hinterland, he was not facing Barry, who took it for granted and rushed forward, but quickly returned to defend and formed a new line of defense with Kompany inserted.
"Dong."
The next moment, as if he was facing a wall, Bentner, who had just gotten excited to get the ball, had not had time to show off when he was rushed over, and Kompany was given a big meeting gift.
"Take! A clean and neat tackle! The ball weight belongs to Lan Yue."
As an audience member and commentator, Zhan Jun must not say a praising Kompani's tackle. It can be said that this straightforward tackle directly dispelled the offensive momentum that the Gunners had just raised.
"The ball was sent back to David Silva's feet, and Manchester City began to reorganize the attack. The Gunners' players didn't have time to return to defense, so they just killed half the game!"
Arsenal just now had the momentum to organize the offense after intercepting the ball, so how embarrassed they are now to chase back.
As an equally excellent midfielder, David Silva is also top-notch. At a glance, he saw the big gap between Wilshire and Alexander Song in the middle of the half, and he sent the ball out the next moment.
"Adebayo got the ball, and Alexander Song, who was standing by, hurriedly adjusted his defense and chased him. The initiative was completely in the hands of Manchester City players."
In the tenth minute of the game, the situation became tense again, and the fans were immersed in the thrilling waves of unreached waves, and the players on the court had already played in their own form.
With continuous pressure and impact, Manchester City did not rush to attack directly through the forward after following up with four midfielders. This method is difficult to work against a team like the Gunners.
After dribbled the ball to an area about ten meters away from Arsenal's penalty area, Adebayo chose to pass the ball back. David Silva, who followed up, received the ball immediately.
At this moment, following Silva on the left was De Jong, who had already run from the backcourt. The midfielder used his flexible running position to pull away the Gunners' two defensive players' attention for his teammates.
"A Feng and his men also followed back from the frontcourt. At this moment, only Bentner is left as a striker in Manchester City at halftime."
With the opponents being overwhelmed with all the might, it is no longer meaningful to continue to stick to the position. For the benefit of the team, Liu Feng and Arshavin on the other side followed him at the nearest Blue Moon player.
David Silva, who took the ball, realized that things were not good after seeing the Gunners returning to defense. He had to continue the offense as soon as possible for the team to continue to push the offense instead of being dragged down.
"Walk the ball and move to the right. After Ah Feng followed De Jong for him, Wilshire took the initiative to approach Silva. The two were about to meet and pass the ball! Another straight pass was passed, and David Silva once again divided the ball."
In a football game, a pass may be a subversion of the situation, and nothing may happen.
On the stadium, when the ball first arrived at the running position and threw away Tevez's feet, who was defending Julu, all Arsenals' hearts were stuttering.
Every time the opponent passes the ball forward, it means that he is one step closer to the risk of losing the ball, not to mention that Tevez is now the leading striker in Manchester City.
"Tevis got the ball, he dribbled the ball and tried to tackle it from the middle!!!"
However, this tension and heartbreak did not last long. Soon another figure that was accurately beaten the grass and shoveled the ball away, robbed the attention of all the fans of the audience.
"Squeragic, decisive tackle, no foul, he snatched the ball for the Gunners."
The rotation and steal of the ball rights in this game seemed to be able to capture the eye only by tackles. Squillac's tackle was not the first time in the game.
This intuitive way of bringing down the opponent's forward and taking the ball back is indeed even more exciting in this environment.
"Roar! Arsenal! Arsenal! Arsenal!"
The Gunners Expeditionary Force, sitting in the visiting team stands, made their own voice immediately. As Julu kicked the ball out of Squillach to Gibbs, who had already started to penetrate, the counterattack from the arsenal started again.
"In the 14th minute of the game, the Gunners had a second offensive opportunity. Gibbs inserted from the backcourt, and DeJong had to lean towards the side to block his progress as soon as possible."
Whenever counterattack is counterattacked, the speed must be fast. Gibbs obviously did not have the intention to compete with De Jong. He chose to pass the ball directly before his opponent completely blocked the route in front of him.
"With one push, the ball came to Xiaofa's feet in the middle. Xiaofa was entangled with Silva and passed the ball to Wilshire. The small threat continued to penetrate deeper, and Arsenal's offense was very fast."
A series of transmissions that are eye-catching without any mistakes or stagnation, the long-term tacit understanding of the Gunners is fully demonstrated at this moment.
"The little threat was stuck by Barry, and he directly pulled the ball behind his left foot and knocked it to the right. Alexander Song got the ball, and the three forwards were all in place. The opportunity is coming!"
Zhan Jun's heartbeat had accelerated, and his voice began to grow louder. He stared at the situation on the field in a row. He kept estimating the changes in the situation next.
"Alexander Song has many choices for passing the ball, oh~, he still chose to return the ball to Xiaofa who had followed. Xiaofa faced the ball and shot it out!!!"
"Swish!"
With a foot push and the ball was fast and fast, and it instantly came to Bentner, who was at the forefront. At this moment, the striker was constantly stalemate with Boateng behind him.
"Bentner took the ball with his back, and he controlled the ball as much as possible and chose to pass the ball to the left."
Another light round, Bentner did not stop the game, but due to Boateng's entanglement, what he did not notice was that when he passed the ball, another defender, Kompany, also followed him out simultaneously.
"A Feng faced the ball, Kompani! He appeared on the route of Liu Feng's shooting and completely blocked the angle. He forced A Feng directly. This defender was very fierce!"
Liu Feng didn't expect that he lost the advantageous shooting angle at the first time. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough. When Kompani came over, he wanted to directly break the ball and pulled the ball away from the opponent's outstretched foot.
However, outside the Blue Moon penalty area, the Gunners' offense did slow down.
