Chapter 611: Great Disappointment
Arsenal threw the throw-in, because it was Silva who took the initiative to kick the ball out of the sideline just now, so Arsenal's throw-in will be thrown directly to Manchester City.
In this regard, Manchester City will naturally not be polite, if Silva continues to attack just now, Manchester City has every chance to change the score on the field, after all, after Julu fell, Silva's side was completely empty.
The ball came to Silva's feet, the former pushed back and gave it to Li Feng, Alexander Song immediately stopped in front of Li Feng, and in the face of the well-prepared send, Li Feng did not force a breakthrough, but directly pushed back.
Silva accelerated his way and didn't give his compatriot any face, rushing into the Arsenal penalty area before a cross was saved by Szczesny after Dzeko won the ball near the penalty spot.
Silva took a corner, Miguire rose from the crowd, cleared the ball with a header, and the ball flew off the bottom line, still a corner that belonged to Manchester City.
This time, though, City came up with a tactical corner, Silva passed the ball to Li Feng, who crossed directly with his feet, and in the scramble, Miquell pulled down Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.
However, referee Dodd was blocked from seeing Miquel's foul, so Dodd refused to award a penalty and Arsenal escaped.
Although Manchester City was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, there was nothing they could do, but after the game continued, Manchester City wisely chose to focus on Miqueel's way.
Silva became the most active player on the pitch, although it was a bit cruel to the young Miqueir, but it was not his chance, if he can withstand the pressure and withstand Silva's impact, then he can rely on this performance to win Wenger's attention and get more opportunities.
Did Miquael resist it? Apparently not, and for the next ten minutes he was on the right side of the pitch was punctuated by Silva.
In the 52nd minute, Yaya Toure and Silva collided with the wall, and the latter crossed from the bottom line, but unfortunately Dzeko did not touch the ball in front of the goal.
Two minutes later, it was Silva who cut inside on the left, burst into the box to attract Arsenal's defense and then passed back to the outside of the box, Li Feng blasted a long-range shot that went straight out of the goal.
In the 58th minute, it was still Silva, but this time it was the Spaniards who completed the attack themselves, Li Feng split the side, and Silva went directly past Miqueir's burst into the penalty area.
In the face of Koscielny's defence, Silva tricked him with a brilliant feint and then pushed it into the near corner, but Szczesny was really against the sky, and he went down and punched Silva out with a punch.
However, even Szczesny's performance could not prevent City from breaking the deadlock, and in the 63rd minute, Ramsey and Arteta combined to cross the centre circle, but the incident was intercepted by Barry and Yaya Toure.
Boateng cut in from behind to keep Arteta out of Van Persie's ball, and City launched a quick counter-attack and Boateng sent the ball forward.
Li Feng won the ball near the center circle, passed through, and the ball rolled between Alexander Song and Miquel, and rolled to the bottom line on the right side, where Dzeko struggled to catch up.
Mertesacker and Koscielny raised their hands to signal Dzeko to cross, but the linesman did not raise the flag, so Dzeko did not stop for the slightest moment, and finally caught up with the ball near the baseline.
Turn around and cut in, Miquiel, who is struggling to chase back in front of Dzeko at the moment, Dzeko changes direction with the ball, shakes off half of Miquel's body, and then sends the ball directly to the goal of the small penalty area.
Aguero, the Argentine striker is in a very good position, and Dzeko's passing is also quite comfortable, as a midfielder, Dzeko's passing ability is quite good, a half-empty ball, just flew in front of Aguero.
However, Aguero is not without defenders around him, Mertesacker, the German center and back are on Aguero's right hand at the moment, in the face of Dzeko's pass, Mertesacker can only try not to let Aguero shoot comfortably.
If it's a high-altitude ball, Mertesacker still has an advantage, but unfortunately, Dzeko's pass is only a half-empty ball, and it is a pass specifically for Aguero.
"Header a little ~~~ Szczesny ~~~ God, Szczesny, this is the Arsenal goalkeeper's first world-class save in this game? After Lehmann's departure, Arsenal finally had a good goalkeeper "Sergio Aguero's header was quite good, the header was a little down, and the goal kick was down.
However, Szczesny went downward, his reaction speed was not inferior to Joe Hart's, and he eventually used his arm to block Aguero's header.
"No~~~GOAL~~~ The ball went in~~~ Manchester City broke the deadlock, Silva, David Silva, Aguero's header was blocked by Szczesny and flew to Silva, in the face of such an opportunity, Silva will not miss it, direct volley, Manchester City finally took the lead in the 63rd minute of the game."
'Vermaelen, the Arsenal defenders didn't take their chances, Vermaelen was there when the ball fell in front of Silva, but Vermaelen was a step slow to get out of the way.
In stark contrast to Silva and Sergio Aguero, Arsenal's goalkeeper and defender Vermaelen were an absolute world-class performer in this game, but even then he was unable to keep his own goal, and Vermaelen had a chance to stop Silva at the last moment, but was a step too late.
Arsene Wenger moved in the dugout as City celebrated wildly, followed by two players on the Arsenal bench and five minutes later, Arsenal made their final substitution of the game, with strikers Chamak and Arshavin replacing Theo Walcott and Mertesacker as Arsenal launched a last-ditch comeback.
However, at this time, Van Basten also made a substitution, De Jong replaced Li Feng, and it was obvious that Van Basten's substitution was ready to defend this goal.
If in the past, Van Basten would never choose to replace Li Feng and enable defensive tactics, compared to attack, Manchester City has never been afraid, but in this game Van Basten did not dare to take risks, just because Li Feng's state in this game was not good.
Although Li Feng's performance in the second half has changed, it is only slightly better than the first half, and Li Feng himself knows his own situation, so he has no opinion on this substitution.
Although Li Feng's performance in this game was not good, the Manchester City fans at the scene still collectively applauded Li Feng when he left the game, which also shows Li Feng's status in the hearts of Manchester City stars.
This substitution was just the beginning, a few minutes later, Minar replaced Dzeko, Manchester City officially began to defend and counterattack, and the third substitution came in the 88th minute, with Kolo Toure replacing Silva.
Wenger expressed strong dissatisfaction with Van Basten's substitutions to kill time, but unfortunately, Wenger's dissatisfaction did not allow Arsenal to tie the score, and with the final stubborn defense, Manchester City got the three points they wanted as they wished, and continued to maintain a seven-point lead over Manchester United.
