Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 333 Long Biography, Volley
Manchester City were beaten in disarray, the players had to be exhausted by Arsenal's repeated moves, and the first ten minutes were basically half-time drills, and the world's richest team met the best team in the world, immediately proving that money is not everything.
However, after three years of running-in, Manchester City's combat effectiveness has also improved qualitatively, if it was the Manchester City team three years ago, it would have been blasted into the goal a long time ago, and now it has not collapsed by Arsenal's indiscriminate bombardment, Kompany, Lescott, De Jong, Yaya Toure, and even Silva have come up one after another to block the eye-catching, in this case, Silva almost completed a counterattack, but when the ball was passed to the feet of Tevez, Tevez wanted to run long distances and did not pass the ball to Balotelli, The ball was quickly destroyed by the chasing Li Huan out of the sideline.
"Alas, alas! Tevez is a bit of a loner! If you pass the ball, you can make a 2-on-2 situation. Duan Xuan said.
"It's useless for Tevez to pass, Balotelli is not a master who likes to pass the ball, and the pass must be a meat bun beating a dog, they just have to fight alone." Tao Wei said politely.
Duan Xuandao: "Also, Manchester City has a solid backfield, and it is also a good choice to rely on the personal ability of the stars in the frontcourt, so it is easy to produce results." ”
Arsenal's attack can't be endlessly carried out in the afternoon, and by the 15th minute, Arsenal saw that it couldn't attack for a long time, so it shrunk the formation backwards, giving Manchester City some space to move forward, which is also hoping that the opponent can attack and leave space for their own frontcourt, Arsenal is a team that is good at short pass penetration, and it is useless to just attack with a rhythm. Besides, if they continue to attack like this, their physical strength will not be able to stand it.
Arsenal relaxed the rhythm of the attack, Manchester City unceremoniously attacked, although they knew Arsenal's conspiracy, but they must also attack, the time is still very long, relying on defense alone, even if it is a dense defense, it may not be able to defend to the end, not to mention that the history of 35 years without winning the championship makes this Manchester City full of desire for honor, they also hope to win, even if there is little hope, in fact, Manchester City's pre-game tactics are to stabilize the defense, if you can score better, if you can't score, wait for extra time, and then a penalty shootout, Now that Arsenal have given them the opportunity to attack, they certainly won't continue to defend near their own penalty area.
When Manchester City defends and counterattacks, it mainly relies on two strikers, and the pass is driven forward with big feet, and when the real position attacks, it is Silva who organizes, Yaya Toure who is inserted in front, Tevez who scores, and the others just follow to play soy sauce, and if they accidentally score, they should be picking up a wallet.
David Silva has not scored many goals and assists in his season with Manchester City, but the stats don't tell the whole story, as he is the lubricant of City's midfield, with a clear tandem up front. He has a very good understanding with Tevez and a lot of feelings with Balotelli. It is clearly a perfect pair with the midfielder Toure Jr. Silva can be left or right, and often ambush in the middle to shoot. Without Silva, Manchester City's attack will be overwhelmed, and it can be said that Silva is Manchester City's Xavi.
Arsenal and Manchester City played in the same league, and studied the opponent for a long time before the game, of course, they would not ignore Silva, and Song and Wilshere were responsible for taking care of him in this game, making him uncomfortable receiving the ball, so that he could not touch the ball at all.
And on the left side, Tevez met Li Huan, Arsenal is not worried at all, Li Huan specializes in treating all kinds of incurable diseases, including taming beasts, the Argentine beast is average, although the body is strong, but Li Huan's body is more perverted, the first few encounters, Li Huan ate Tevez to death, this time will definitely be no exception, unless Tevez gives up the left side, but he gives up the left side, who else dares to go, does it turn the left side into a vacuum?
It's just that Yaya Toure's insertion is difficult to defend, because Yaya Toure is a back midfielder and has the ability to shoot from a distance, and don't look at Yaya Toure's tall stature, in fact, his skills are very delicate, and his breakthrough with the ball is no worse than Tevez. But fortunately, Yaya Toure's job is to be a midfielder, he is not fast, there is no sudden surname to attack, and he can be deployed to defend him at any time, and with Arsenal's attack power, Yaya Toure can free up his hands to attack is still a question mark.
Manchester City attacked, but Silva was seen to death, Tevez was like hitting an iron wall in Li Huan, no matter what, they couldn't pass through, their original attack was extensive, after the delicate Silva was seen dead, they could only adopt the tactics of long pass rushing, and their original frontcourt fulcrum Tevez was stared at by Li Huan, and now they can only take the ball to find the bad boy Balotelli.
Balotelli is incredibly talented and has excellent physical and technical awareness, but his shortcomings are also obvious, which is that he is irritable and irritable, and Christ devised a tactic to harass the foul before the game, provoking the brainless and better to take him off the court.
Sure enough, less than ten minutes into Manchester City's attack, Balotelli was furious by Klich's provocation and foul, and after being pulled from behind by Klich, Super Mario reflexively gave Klich a slap. Although Krish was not from La Masia, but Balotelli was not lightly forced, Cleich was pushed to the ground, even a fool knew what to do at this time, Krishy immediately fell to the ground and covered his face.
The referee Atkinson ran over, he asked the linesman, and showed Balotelli a yellow card, Atkinson thought that such a great final, only ten minutes had been played, if the underdog Balotelli was punished now, this game would not be watchable, so he only showed Balotelli a yellow card.
But the brainless Balotelli was not satisfied, and he waved his hand to the referee Atkinson to indicate that it was Klich who was faking the fall, and Yaya Toure and Barry hurried over to pull him away.
After Manchester City attacked, Arsenal's sharp counterattack also made Manchester City's back line frightened, don't look at the formation recovery, once they counterattacked, they invested a lot of troops, and the momentum was like a mountain of seas, which made Manchester City almost breathless.
Because Tevez met his nemesis, Balotelli received another yellow card, and the Manchester City players did not dare to give it to him, but in this way, the long pass could not be played, and he could only rely on the back and full-back to insert assists.
In the 25th minute of the game, Yaya Toure inserted the ball, and when he broke through to the edge of the penalty area, he wanted to shoot, but the opponent did not give him a chance to fully adjust, so Yaya Toure finally passed the ball to Tevez, and then retreated himself, so as not to be counterattacked.
Tevez's willpower is very strong and indomitable, and he has been broken and destroyed by Li Huan many times, but he still went to Li Huan to prepare for a breakthrough.
Li Huan likes Tevez a little, such a superb man is really rare, which reminds Li Huan of a joke: it is said that there are old bears in the mountains, and hunters want to hunt them. In the first battle, the hunter was defeated, annihilated by the bear, and was filled with shame and anger. Hugh said, fought again and lost, and was annihilated again. After recuperating from the injury, go back. When the bear saw the hunter, he couldn't help but say, "You dog, are you here to hunt or sell silver?" ”
Tevez made an inward feint, pushed the ball forward, and then slammed towards the bottom line, trying to use his speed and body to shake off Li Huan, but Li Huan is a vegetarian, although he is a passive defense, but Li Huan's speed is fast, and the reaction is fast, Tevez has not yet gone down to the bottom line, Li Huan stretched out his foot from behind him and hooked the ball.
Tevez was depressed when he saw the ball lost, and he immediately reflexively chased after Li Huan, although he may not be able to catch up, but at least it can reduce the possibility of Li Huan's long pass after getting the ball.
Li Huan's start speed was too fast, when Tevez stopped and turned around, Li Huan had already gone down seven or eight meters, and most people would be eager to wait for the results at this time, but Tevez continued to move forward, and he returned to the middle to participate in the defense.
Li Huan didn't go down to the bottom line, he had already seen his teammates start to run. Van Persie was at the front, there was only one defender in front of him, and the goalkeeper was still standing on the goal line, Li Huan did not hesitate to take a long pass and hang the ball between the goalkeeper and Van Persie.
Li Huan's long passes are very distinctive, most of them are roundabout balls, and the ball will spin back as soon as it reaches the target, slowing down the power of the forward rush. Manchester City goalkeeper Joe. Although Hart could see that he might be able to touch the ball, he was worried about attacking but didn't get the ball, giving the opponent an empty goal, so Joe. Hart was standing on the goal line and didn't move at all.
Van Persie saw that defender Vincent Kompany had come, and if he wanted to score, he had to pass the vicious-looking middle-aged man in front of him, and once he was entangled, he would definitely lose the chance to go head-to-head.
Just when many people were thinking about what they would do if they were Van Persie, Van Persie didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, and ignored the fact that Kompany was already about to pounce, and raised his foot to shoot.
Boom!
The ball flew from under Kompany's ribs to the goal.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart saw Van Persie prepare for the shot, but because he didn't see the moment Van Persie shoot, he could only watch the ball hit the post and bounce into the net.
1:0, Arsenal lead.
“goalgoalgoal! Van Persie scored, Van Persie scored! Li Huan's long pass, Li Huan's eyes are sharp, and the pass is even sharper, his pass is like a stroke of genius, which just hits the weakest place of Manchester City. But this is also Van Persie's good shot, this shot is very difficult...... "The Arsenal fans in the stands were excited, waited for more than 20 minutes, and finally saw the goal this time, they all jumped up, waved their fists into the field, and their faces were dancing, as if they were all teenagers younger.
He wanders like a dragon, wise and foolish, when the world thinks they can see through him, in fact, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
