After the start of the game, the two sides basically did not have any tentative contact, and directly started to fight.

The competition between the two sides was fierce, and Diego Godin, who replaced Vincent Kompany, was indeed a key target for Arsenal.

Compared to Lucio next to him, Godin does look much easier to deal with.

With such a fierce attack at the start of the game, Godin was a little nervous.

After all, this is his first game since joining Manchester City, and he has been a starter......

In the 14th minute, when Van Persie was about to break through his side, he tackled Van Persie, gave him a free-kick and was awarded a yellow card.

The television broadcast gave Godin a close-up, and in the close-up, Godin's expression was a little stern.

"He's so nervous......" said narrator John Mortenson.

"The first time I played in the Premier League, I was a starter, so I was nervous...... Arsene Wenger must have seen this as well, so he has been listed as a key target for Arsenal's breakthrough. Fifteen minutes into the first half, Arsenal's attack has been largely focused on Godin's side. Alan Hansen said.

Glory came back from the front court and came next to Godin, and as a captain he had to care for each of his teammates, especially after they had problems.

These are all things that Rong Guang has learned from his successive captains over the course of his career - as mentioned before, he is a super good learner.

He patted Godin on the shoulder, and Godin turned his head to look at Glory as if he had been awakened.

"Take it easy, Diego." Rongguang said.

After seeing that it was glory, Godin quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, captain, I ......"

"No big deal." Instead of letting him continue to apologize, Rongguang waved his hand. "Take it easy."

With that, he tapped Godin on the shoulder again, turned and ran away.

Godin looked at the glorious back and remembered what happened when he returned to the Uruguay national team from Manchester City this time.

His centre-back teammate for the national team, Lugano, patted him on the thigh and said in an envious tone: "You kid is so lucky! He Rong became teammates! Don't worry about champions or whatever! ”

"How can it be so absolute......" Godin said with a smile as he thought Lugano was exaggerating.

Unexpectedly, Lugano's eyes widened, and he said to him very seriously: "Do you think I'm joking with you, Diego?" What I'm saying is true, as long as you can be teammates with Rong, you will win at least one championship, at least. It's actually much more than that. Rong is simply synonymous with a champion...... I was team-mate with him in Sao Paulo, which was not in a good place and we won all the titles we could in Brazil! Even the Copa Libertadores! Who is the biggest contributor? Glory! ”

Lugano is Godin's predecessor in the Uruguayan national team, and he is also Uruguay's main central defender.

"You take your time, anyway, you're on the same team as Rong now. You will find that being a teammate with him is really a very reassuring thing, you just need to do your own thing, you don't need to think about anything else, Rong will help you solve it. ”

He came out of his memories and refocused his gaze on the back of Glory, the number ten being Glory's number.

Okay, I'm teammates with Rong, so what's there to worry about? Like he said, take it easy, take it easy......

Godin began to take deep breaths, one bite at a time, and when he took a third deep breath, his heart, which had been beating so fast, had calmed down.

※※※

Godin's foul was about 34 metres from goal, to the right, and it was a dangerous free-kick spot.

However, Arsenal did not take advantage of the free-kick and Van Persie's free-kick went over the crossbar.

The stands rang out with the gloating laughter of Manchester City fans.

The Arsenal players didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't a big deal not to go through the free-kick, the game had just begun, and with 75 minutes to go, they had time to completely crush Godin.

Naturally, the goals will come in a steady stream.

But not long after the game resumed, they were the first to lose their goal......

In the twentieth minute, Manchester City's attack got up front, Berbatov's shot in the box was cleared by Arsenal's Vermaelen, Matuidi broke the ball back in midfield, organized the attack again, and the football was quickly passed to the feet of glory.

After Rongguang took the ball, he didn't want to burst into the penalty area, nor did he want to cross the bottom, he just made a feint to go down, and then knocked the football to the middle with the heel of his right foot, and he also followed the emergency stop to change direction, and he caught up with the football and directly volleyed with his left foot!

The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia took to the air, stretched out his arms and pounced on the football.

But the corner kick of Rongguang was too tricky, aiming at the far end of the goal, he Almunia "couldn't reach", the football bypassed his ten fingers, and then ...... Slammed it on the beam!

With a bang, the ball bounced out again.

Before the Arsenal fans at the scene and in front of the TV could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the ball bounce right on the back of Almunia, who was still in the air......

Refracted again, this time the ball flew where it was supposed to go - the goal!

And flew in.

"Ball...... The ball is in!! John Mortensen was stunned for a moment, then raised his arms and shouted.

When he saw the football hit the crossbar and pop up, he felt like he was holding his head and feeling sorry for the glory of the foot. What a beautiful kick and it was a shame that it was turned away by the crossbar in the end!

As a result, I saw that the football had unexpectedly hit Almunia in the back, who was still in the air, and then bounced into the goal......

The goal that should be scored really can't run!

'Almunia was so unlucky, if he hadn't save, it would have hit the crossbar and bounced...... 'Alan Hansen laughed as he said from the sidelines. This goal should probably go in......"

※※※

After seeing the football fly into the goal, Rongguang also raised his fist and pointed it to the sky. Then he was hugged by his excited teammates.

Diego Godin is a centre-back, so he didn't rush up front to celebrate, he celebrated alone at the back, raising his arms and shouting.

Just now Rongguang patted him on the shoulder and said that there was nothing to worry about, let him relax, is this his proof?

Lugano is right, if you play with Rong on the same team, you will easily feel at ease!

With such a powerful captain, what else should I be nervous about? Ha!

Godin thought excitedly.

※※※

Arsenal, on the other hand, were hit hard by the goal, and the hardest hit was goalkeeper Almunia - how did his own effort to save turn out to be a bad thing?

If the ball hadn't been in the air, it wouldn't have gone in!

Now it's your own own goal!

Arsenal's revenge plan...... It had only been twenty minutes before he was hit hard!

Arsene Wenger rushed to the sidelines, although he also felt helpless and regretful for conceding the goal, but now is not the time to be frustrated, the game has only started 20 minutes, and there are still 70 minutes to go, and Arsenal is not unable to make a difference!

After all, we have mastered the weakness of Manchester City!

So he roared loudly from the sidelines to cheer the players up.

"Look for their weaknesses! They have weaknesses! ”

Arsene Wenger shouted from the sidelines.

At the same time, the finger was pointed at Diego Godin, the 23-year-old Uruguayan centre-back who played his first Premier League game since moving to Manchester City.

If he could, he would even like to put a striking mark on Godin's head so that the Arsenal players can spot weaknesses in City's backline as soon as they look up when they are on the pitch.

Arsene Wenger's roar gave the Arsenal players a boost of fighting spirit and confidence, allowing them to recover from the panic of conceding a goal.

Yes, we know the weaknesses in City's backline!

Attack on this weakness and you will definitely be able to equalize!

※※※

The game continued after the Arsenal players kicked off.

After conceding the goal, Arsenal wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but their attack had only been completed once before being pressed back by Manchester City's overwhelming rapid attack.

Manchester City, who were leading the home team, launched wave after wave of attacks on Arsenal's goal amid the tsunami of the home fans' tsunami.

These attacks were so rapid that Arsenal couldn't breathe at all.

What is the use of weakness to equalize...... It would be nice to not concede any more goals now!

City's attacking frenzy lasted about ten minutes before it finally waned.

Arsenal can finally take a breather.

Fortunately, their goal did not continue to lose in the past ten minutes, and the whole line of defense finally defended.

It's scary to think about it now - if City had scored another goal in those 10 minutes, it would have been a tough game.

Fortunately, God forbid, they didn't concede any more goals, and the score was still 0:1, so Arsenal still had something to do.

We already know your weaknesses...... Wait, the equalizer will be available soon!

Arsenal went on the offensive.

The target, of course, is Manchester City's centre-back Diego Godin.

Van Persie found Godin again as his team-mate passed the ball.

Just when Van Persie thought he could break through easily, he stumbled on his feet.

The ball that was about to be passed to his feet was grabbed by Godin in advance and was broken all at once!

Van Persie turned his head to look at Godin's back in surprise, he didn't expect Godin's movements to be so vigorous and agile, and the grabbing would be so fast!

Van Persie was surprised, as was Arsenal player Diaby, who passed the ball to him.

But Benitez was not surprised, but slapped him on the sidelines: "Good! ”
