Chapter 707: Advantages and Disadvantages
The popularity of this game can be predicted, and almost all the players of the two teams participated in the pre-game war of words, but from the point of view, the popularity is hot, but the game is more intense than exciting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just two minutes later, Yaya Toure claimed the first yellow card of the game for a foul, and Rosicky was pulled to the ground by the Manchester City midfielder with the ball in the middle.
I have to say that the referee of this game enforced the law quite strictly, and the act of taking out the cards at the beginning of the game effectively stopped the next foul actions of both sides.
However, even so, the two teams continued to commit small fouls, and even in the sixth minute, De Jong almost shoveled Van Persie away, and both Dutch national team teammates glared angrily.
Of course, Alexander Song also fouled Li Feng, but Li Feng had bugs, so in the face of Alexander Song's tackle, Li Feng had no pressure to dodge.
There was no shot on goal for the first 10 minutes, and City twice attacked the Arsenal underbelly, but both were prevented by the Arsenal backline's offside tactics.
Arsenal also made two inroads into the heart of Manchester City, but they were intercepted by the City defenders, once by De Jong with Van Persie and the second by Boateng.
In the twelfth minute, Arsenal, who were playing at home, ushered in the first official shot of the game, which came from Rosicky's volley.
Sagna's sudden cross from behind was cleared by Kompany, but the ball that went out of the box came to the leader of Gibson on the left, who hit a header and Rosicky **** not far away stopped the ball and volleyed it directly over the crossbar.
Two minutes later, it was Arsenal again, but it also resulted in the first controversial decision, with Rosicky appearing on the flank and then crossing.
Van Persie and Kompany competed in the penalty area, and finally the ball was pushed out of the bottom line by Kompany, but Van Persie fell in the penalty area of Manchester City, and for a while, the Emirates Stadium ushered in a shout: "Penalty ~~~." ”
However, the referee shook his finger and thought it was not a penalty, Kompany was quite clean in defence, and Van Persie fell to the ground without standing himself.
Of course~~~ This is the referee's point of view, as for whether it is true, it is estimated that the two parties know, but since it has been sentenced, it is useless to say more.
However, the fans will not let the referee go like this, and in the next period of time, Arsenal fans have added another object of booing, that is, the referee of this game, Atkinson.
But even so, Van Persie had his first shot of the game, and the ensuing corner Arsenal centre-back Koscielny battled to the first spot and headed the ball over to Van Persie, who hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line from close range.
Then an unfortunate thing happened to Manchester City, when Manchester City attacked Yaya Toure and suddenly fell to the ground in the attack, Van Basten did not make a forced substitution, and Yaya Toure, who was supported by the team doctor, also missed the next two rounds of the league and the first round of the Champions League because of this time.
The substitute for Yaya Toure is Barry, although Minard is comprehensive, but the defense is still weaker, from the beginning, Rosicky is very active, if Minard plays, it will definitely be a lot of pressure on Rosicky, so Van Basten weighed and finally chose Barry, who has better defensive ability.
After the substitution, the game resumed, and City continued to attack, the ball was passed to the feet of Balotelli, but the Italian was intercepted by Vermaelen, and then Alexander Song burst out from behind to scoop the ball away.
Angry, Balotelli behaved irrationally again, stepping on Alexander Song, who was still on the ground, fortunately the manager didn't see it, otherwise this kind of retaliatory behavior would definitely be a card.
However, Manchester City's first goal is still far away, and the ball is back at the feet of Arsenal, and it has to be said that the departure of Cesc Fabregas has had a considerable impact on Arsenal this season.
This is evident from Arsenal's performances this season, with the lack of a real playmaker in midfield, Arsenal's attacks looking a bit messy, and this has plagued Arsenal for a whole season.
Ramsey is still too young, although the talent is impressive, but not mature, Arteta is also from La Masia, but the strength is limited, and Rosicky has been almost ruined by injury.
Since moving to Arsenal in '06, the talented man who was once expected to take over the Czech prime has spent almost half of his time battling injuries.
I have to say that Fabregas's approach is a bit inauthentic, the reason why he has today, his own talent is on the one hand, Wenger's cultivation and trust is on the other, but in the summer, in order to return to Barcelona, he did not hesitate to fall out with Wenger and Arsenal.
Fabregas and Li Feng's transfer meaning is completely different, Li Feng did want to leave, but he left without making trouble with the club, for this reason, Bayern Munich got a sky-high transfer, and Li Feng is not Bayern Munich training, the person he is really grateful to is Van Gaal.
In the eighteenth minute, Arsenal ushered in the third kick of the game, still from Rosicky, from the beginning to the present, the most active is the Czech midfielder who has been sick before.
After receiving Mikel Arteta's pass, Rosicky broke past De Jong before bursting into the box with Robin van Persie and firing a powerful shot to force Joe Hart to make his first save of the game.
It can also be seen that although Arsenal have completed three shots on goal, only Rosicky's shot is really inside the goal frame.
"It's almost 20 minutes, but Manchester City has never had a single shot, but ~~~ Although Arsenal have the advantage, they have few dangerous attacks."
Just as the twentieth minute passed, Manchester City finally had their first shot of the game, which came from Balotelli's forced turn and volley.
Li Feng staged a solo ride in the middle of the road, breaking through Rosicky and Arteta is actually not the slightest difficulty for Li Feng, even if it is Alexander Song, when Li Feng really wants to break through, Alexander Song may not be able to stop it.
In the end, Li Feng still passed the ball to the feet of Balotelli, who had been raising his hand in the face of the big box, and the ball was unsurprisingly confiscated by Szczesny.
However, just after Balotelli completed the shot, Aguero not far from the right side was unhappy, because the Argentines were almost empty just now, in this case, Balotelli should pass the ball rather than substitution, fortunately, everyone's attention was on Balotelli at this time, so he didn't pay attention to Aguero's unhappiness.
