Chapter 709: I can't bear it
In terms of creating chances and fatal passes, Li Feng dares to say second who dares to say first, just look at his assist data, the league has only been 32 rounds, but Li Feng's assists have reached a desperate thirty-three, you know, assists are sometimes even more difficult than goals.

However, in the first half, Manchester City failed to capitalise on their chances, Li Feng passed two fatal passes for Balotelli, but Balotelli did not take advantage of them, and also created a chance for Aguero, similarly, the Argentine failed to bring a goal to Manchester City, and the two sides ended in a draw in the first half.
Although Manchester City were slightly inferior to Arsenal in possession and less than in the number of shots on goal throughout the first half, the quality of chances created was significantly higher than Arsenal's, so Van Basten was quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
"But we still need to pay more attention in the second half, the Arsenal striker is in very good shape, and you should know the goal rate this season, so in the second half, not only can we not take it lightly, but we also have to strengthen the defense against him" Van Basten is naturally familiar with Van Persie, and even he is still playing the Dutchman's idea.
It is conceivable that after the end of the season, Manchester City and Van Basten will definitely select strikers all over the world, Manchester City's forward line has become the biggest problem, if Manchester City can not get the desired results this season, this pot must be the back of the striker.
At the same time, in the home team's locker room, Wenger is also reminding his disciples to be careful of Li Feng, but Wenger also knows that it is impossible to really see Li Feng dead, in today's world football, Li Feng, Messi, and Ronaldo are almost inexplicable.
"Well~~~ It seems that both sides are very confident in their players, and they didn't make any adjustments at halftime" After halftime, the players on both sides returned to the field.
The kick-off in the second half belonged to Manchester City, but Manchester City did not get many shots on goal, and defensively, Arsenal actually did quite well, Vermaelen and Koscielny performed very well, and Sagna and Gibson did not make any mistakes.
So in the first ten minutes of the second half, there was a situation at the beginning of the first half, more than intense, but there was no wonderful shot, the only accident came to Balotelli, but this time it was not his unprovoked foul, but he was brought down by others.
Sooner or later, this sentence will be verified again, Balotelli was tackled by Alexander Song after receiving the pass, although he touched the ball, but Alexander Song did not stop there.
As for whether it was deliberate or failed to stand it, it is up to debate, after all, Balotelli deliberately trampled on people in the first half, and Balotelli had a bad record before, so the referee did not take out the cards to Alexander Song.
This immediately caused Balotelli to be dissatisfied, and jumped up directly from the ground, which made the referee even more sure that Balotelli was completely pretending to sit on the ground and not getting up, and even gave Balotelli a warning directly.
This directly caused Balotelli to leave the field next, in the fifty-eighth minute of the game, Arsenal attacked, the ball came to the feet of Alexander Song, but before it could be transferred to his teammates, a blue figure rushed directly over, Alexander Song subconsciously flashed, although he did not completely dodge, but at least he did not let himself be injured.
No. 45, Balotelli, Atkinson didn't have any words, directly a red card, and Balotelli was obviously mentally prepared, shrugged his shoulders, said that he didn't care, and then walked directly off the pitch and into the locker room.
On the sidelines, Van Basten no longer concealed his expression, and at the moment it was difficult to see the indescribable on the Dutchman's face, and Van Basten had endured Balotelli's endless brain-dead behavior to the limit.
But Van Basten is also well aware that no matter how angry he is at the moment, it will not help, and what he needs to do now is to stabilize the situation on the pitch.
United have won the game and it will be hard to win without one man, but at the very least, Van Basten needs to hold on for a draw.
Adam Johnson retreated, standing parallel to Li Feng, separated on both sides, Barry and De Jong formed a double midfield, Aguero was a single striker, and Manchester City changed tactics and played defensive counterattacks.
On the other side, Wenger clenched his fists, he knew very well that in the next game, Arsenal would have an absolute advantage, but he knew very well that with the presence of Li Feng, Arsenal must be careful.
He doesn't want to be Chelsea, Arsene Wenger remembers the game last season, looking at the blue No.7 on the field, Wenger's eyes couldn't help but flash with regret.
Arsene Wenger believes that if Li Feng joins Arsenal, then Arsenal can definitely compete for the long-lost title this season, think about the combination of Van Persie and Li Feng, it can simply sweep the Premier League, and even set its sights on the coveted Champions League.
But all this is impossible to achieve, now Li Feng is already a Manchester City player, and even the most important member of Manchester City, and now it is impossible to get Li Feng, even if Li Feng and Manchester City have any conflicts and finally part ways, it is estimated that it will not be Arsenal's turn, and the greatest possibility is to send Li Feng to other leagues.
So Wenger was not in a hurry, but walked to the sidelines to signal his disciples not to be in a hurry, and to be patient when attacking to prevent being counterattacked by Manchester City.
Another big reason why Wenger has been so solid is that Arsenal have lost the league title race this season.
It can even be said that this season's league is a war between the two giants of Manchester City, this round of the league is already 32 rounds, and there are still six rounds left, even if Manchester City loses all the remaining six rounds, and even this round loses to Arsenal, they are still one point away from surpassing Manchester City.
Since there is no possibility of winning the championship, Wenger has no need to worry, and even if it is a draw, Arsenal is not unacceptable, and it should be Manchester City who really can't sit still.
Seeing the next performance of Wenger and Arsenal, Van Basten can only shake his head and smile bitterly, Arsenal is not Chelsea, Wenger is not Boas, although Boas is on the rise very strongly, but no matter what, it cannot be changed The fact that Boas is only thirty-four years old, and he is even younger than some veterans.
At the same time, a sense of foreboding rose in Van Basten's mind, and if Arsenal had launched a strong attack after Balotelli was sent off, it might have been a good thing for Manchester City, but this is the case.
Sure enough, Manchester City's little impatience was impatient, and when the opponent was unable to launch a strong attack, the Manchester City players became impatient in their hearts.
Then the development of the stadium gradually began to move towards a strange scene, Manchester City, who lacked one person, actually changed the previous situation and began to dominate, while the full squad of Arsenal began to shrink. (To be continued.) )
