Wow!

When the free kick fell into the net, there was a tide of applause in Emile Stadium.

Ten seconds ago, after learning that Manchester City was ahead of Reading, the atmosphere in the stadium was silent and depressing, and the fans were extremely frustrated.

However, just ten seconds later, due to this wonderful arc as rainbow and the timely rainy goal, the frustration in the fans was wiped out.

The lively, noisy, excitement, these beautiful emotions returned to Emil Stadium.

Chu Jiang's goal was like a shot of a heart-warming shot, cheering everyone up again!

1:0!

Not only Manchester City can lead, but we, Arsenal, have also taken the lead!

After Chu Jiang helped the team to take the lead, Arsenal's real-time league points also reached 83 points, just one point away from Manchester City.

If the process of competing for the championship is a marathon and Manchester City is currently in the lead in the first place, then Arsenal is the team that holds them tightly and follows them all the time.

In this long championship marathon competition, the finish line is already in front of you.

Currently, Manchester City is still in the lead.

However, the distance between Arsenal and them is only one position behind them!

Breathing can be heard, and footsteps are in your ears.

At this moment, not only are the chasers under pressure, but the leaders also have huge pressure!

If the chasers are weak in strength, they will lose the opportunity to surpass the leader. However, if the leader shows flaws, they will also lose the lead advantage, falling from the champion's number one hot spot and ending up getting nothing.

From the champion at your fingertips to the end of getting nothing, this psychological gap is ten times greater than the laggards' attempt to reverse but fail to succeed!

Therefore, every time Arsenal approaches Manchester City strongly, the heavy pressure will make Manchester City breathless.

"Arsenal 1:0 Wigan Athletics, goalkeeper: Chu Time: 18th minute!"

Shortly after Chu Jiang scored a goal, Arsenal's leading goal prompt also appeared over the field of Manchester City's game.

Mancini stood anxiously on the sidelines, looking at the prompt on the scoreboard, the pressure in his heart was like a mountain!

The mid-week game was related to the FA Cup championship, and the final opponent was the strong Liverpool, which made Manchester City unable to retain its strength at all.

In the end, although they defeated Liverpool as they wished and won the FA Cup, this also caused their main players to consume a lot of physical energy.

Today, in this championship-winning game, Mancini conducted a small rotation to be on the safe side.

In the early stages of the game, when the players' physical fitness declined was not obvious, Manchester City still had the upper hand on the field, and Balotelli scored the leading goal.

But what if the game enters the middle and late stages?

You know, there are many main players in Manchester City who are not rotated.

Main players like Yaya Toure, David Silva, Aguero, Kompani, etc., basically have to play the whole game as long as they are not injured.

After a season of hard work, especially the 120-minute decisive battle in the middle of the week, Mancini himself couldn't say whether their physical fitness would be problematic in the next game time.

Moreover, what's even more terrible is that after falling behind by one goal, Reading not only did not give up on the game, but instead pressed harder. Many large-scale defensive moves emerged one after another, which also made Mancini very worried.

If you lose this game, Reading may be relegated early.

Therefore, when the score is behind, their players are like a group of injured wolf, full of aggressiveness. Even if they pay the price of cards, they have to stop Manchester City's attack, burn the battle to the opponent's half, and keep trying to recover the score.

In fact, not only Reading's players began to fight desperately, but even their fans were in a state of madness.

In the stands, countless Reading fans were standing and watching the game. As long as the game was still going on, they would not sit down.

The fans shouted slogans neatly and applauded rhythmically. Whenever Reading players took the ball, they spared no effort to give encouragement; and whenever Manchester City players got the ball, or whenever the referee called them for a foul, the fans would give the loud boo without mercy.

Such a home atmosphere is simply terrifying.

Standing next to the sidelines, Mancini felt his eardrums were about to crack. The noisy noise, coupled with the pressure of Arsenal catching up, made him feel irritated from time to time.

Moreover, due to interference from fans, Mancini was not even sure how much the players on the court could hear him anxiously in his command on the sidelines.

This is really a hellish environment.

Mancini was a little upset.

Especially when he watched Balotelli chasing his opponent's players and making retaliatory tackles, he was even more upset.

Due to the provocation of his opponents several times, Bashen felt very unhappy.

Ba Shen is very unhappy, and both his opponents and teammates may suffer.

In the 35th minute of the game, Ba Shen seized an opportunity and tackled the defender who was entangled from the side and back, reporting the arrow that had been harassed before.

When the referee blew the whistle and paused the game, Balotelli pretended to be innocent with the booing of the audience.

Unfortunately, being cute on the football field is useless.

In the end, Ba Shen received a yellow card.

Moreover, due to this foul, Ba Shen officially received diamond VIP treatment. Whenever he got the ball, more than 20,000 home fans would collectively boo him enthusiastically.

After Manchester City and Arsenal scored goals one after another, they entered the stalemate stage in both games.

At Emile Stadium, Arsenal players are still working hard for the team's second goal.

As their opponent in this game, Wigan Athletics still maintains their warm style and is defending slowly. Judging from the mentality of their players, no one can tell that they are lagging behind.

Compared to that one-man show game, the game at Medezki Stadium was obviously much more intense.

Manchester City needed a second goal to consolidate their advantage, and Reading did not show any weakness. In order to retain the qualification to remain in the Premier League and to board the last bus to relegation, they fought against Manchester City in a big round.

Although there are gaps in players' abilities, they work harder, more fierce and braver.

With the shouts of 20,000 fans, the Reading soldiers took the lead and used their fighting spirit to make up for their gap in strength.

Champions League is a battle with no smoke, and relegation is also a cruel war with obvious swords and guns.

In order to successfully stay on the stage of the highest level of English football, Reading players are full of passion and fearlessness.

It is precisely because of their hard work that the big-name stars in Manchester City feel very troubled.

Although both games were in a stalemate, it was obvious that Manchester City was under much more pressure than Arsenal.

As the game progresses, the physical fitness of Manchester City and Reading players has begun to decline.

Due to the 120-minute mid-week game, Manchester City players' physical fitness decline is slightly faster. However, Reading players' physical fitness consumption is also quite large. Because of their "mad dog" pressing, they consume more physical fitness than Manchester City players.

When the physical fitness of both teams declines significantly, the game no longer tests the ability level of the players on both sides, but also the fighting spirit of both sides of the game, seeking victory.

Simply put, at this stage of the game, the players are competing with their passion!

The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the person who fights to the last moment is the final winner!

When the game reached the 40th minute, even though the team's score was still behind, Reading's fans were not discouraged.

After playing for 40 minutes, they stood in the stands for 40 minutes!

The 40-minute roar made the loyal fans feel a little hoarse. However, like their own team, they have never stopped their battle!

It is precisely with the fanatical support of home fans that Reading players are full of motivation.

Even when facing Manchester City's high-paid and high-energy football superstars, the poor people are willing to sacrifice themselves and will still bring them down!

It was in the 40th minute that the Reading player successfully intercepted the ball in Manchester City's backcourt through non-stop running!

Soon, they launched a quick counterattack on the spot and quickly passed the football to Manchester City's penalty area.

Just one minute before the Reading player successfully intercepted the snatch, the Gunners' offense also made a breakthrough at Emile Stadium.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the physical fitness of the Wigan Athletics players declining, Arsenal launched a fast attack.

Wilshere made a straight pass like a scalpel, and Podolsky calmly counterattacked successfully. Using his speed, he quickly dribbled the ball and cut inside quickly approached the opponent's penalty area.

While he was about to dribble into the penalty area, the Wigan Athletics player who was chasing back had to take a foul.

The whistle sounded, and Arsenal got another good opportunity for free kick!

This is the fifth frontcourt free kick Arsenal won in the first half and the second good set-piece opportunity.

Just like the last time, this free kick was of course taken by their captain Chu Jiang.

Due to Van Persie's absence due to injury, Chu Jiang wore the Gunners' captain's armband in this game. At the beginning, it was precisely because of Chu's goal that Arsenal withstood the pressure, gained the initiative in the game, and continued to put pressure on Manchester City.

Now that Arsenal has another free kick opportunity, can the captain continue to move forward with them?

Unlike the last time, this time the free kick position was slightly off and just out of the "absolute field".

However, after activating the ultimate skill of "A hundred shots" in the free kick, Chu Jiang not only has superb free kick skills, but also has the skill of "Hundred Steps to the Yang Yang" to improve the accuracy of the free kick.

Will the impact be great if the distance is a little farther and the position is a little bit off?

Chu Jiang aimed at the opponent's goal, and his face was still full of confidence.
