Benitez's good voice came from the heart, he started Godin, and that's what he wanted to see the most!

Godin's pace is fast for a centre-back, and Rafael Benitez wants to capitalise on that.

Now Godin's top grab is a testament to his quality.

Van Persie may not have seen it, but Benitez could see it clearly from the sidelines.

As Diaby passed the ball to Van Persie, the Dutchman looked back.

At this time, Godin, who was originally in front of him, suddenly started, stepped up with a lunge, and then used his physical advantage to squeeze Van Persie to the side, cutting off the football from Diaby......

This defensive move speaks volumes about how good Godin's explosiveness is.

He took a big step and started quickly.

Seeing this scene, Benitez was relieved and shouted hello to Godin from the bottom of his heart.

As a centre-back, Godin's experience is somewhat lacking, as he is only twenty-three years old.

He has only played two seasons in the Europa League and four seasons in the professional league.

But being young also has the benefits of being young, first of all, the body is excellent and fast, and the second is that you dare to rush and fight.

That's what Benitez needs.

In the game against Bayern Munich, Benitez needs Godin like this.

But the real test is not over yet, and Benitez cares more about Godin's performance in defending Walcott than Van Persie.

※※※

Van Persie looked at Godin in disbelief, as did Diaby.

Both of them even forgot to step forward to counter the ball, allowing Godin to pass the ball with ease.

"Godin made a very nice defense!" John Mortenson said with some surprise. "His tackle was completely unexpected...... for Van Persie and Diaby"

"But this defense is also reckless." Whenever Alan Hansen seems to be a thrower of cold water, he has choked on many big names, and Glory has also been criticized by him, what is a mere newcomer Godin? 'If Diaby's pass was quicker, Van Persie could get past him. It's too risky to play like that as a centre-back, after all, he's not a midfielder......"

He made a lot of sense, and even John Mortenson nodded and said, "Maybe this is another expression of his nervousness?" ”

"It's possible that when you're nervous, you're prone to overreacting......"

As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, Godin's defense suddenly became a foreshadowing of his instability......

To their disappointment, however, Godin's defence was quite solid, and this seemingly reckless tackle appeared twice, and the second time it was successful.

Once for Van Persie and once for Denilson.

Both men were interrupted by Godin's sudden up-and-go and conceded the ball.

These three robs, there were no problems at all, which left Alan Hansen a little speechless. The second time Godin grabbed it, he also accused Godin of being reckless again.

Godin managed to snatch the ball from Van Persie and put an abrupt end to Alan Hansen's accusations.

The third time, Alan Hansen simply remained silent......

He was afraid of being slapped in the face......

Sure enough, this time Godin succeeded again.

John Mortensen has already seen that Godin has a very good grasp of the timing of the grab, and he doesn't want to grab any ball, and he won't be able to get some balls, preferring to stand in position. But as long as he thinks the timing is right, he gets up quickly, and with the fact that he starts really fast, he's been able to make three wins in a row.

This player is not overreacting at all because of nervousness, but is really prepared and sure.

The top grab is very confident.

"It's weird, Godin seems to have gotten used to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game, and there's no tension in him at all...... He looked confident, he felt like he was enjoying the game......"

Alan Hansen didn't speak.

He didn't know what to say.

※※※

It wasn't just the two commentators who were surprised, but also Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who was on the sidelines.

He really didn't expect Godin, who should be the Achilles heel of Manchester City's backline, to be so eye-catching, continuously disrupting Arsenal's attack......

This is really evil.

In the first half, because of Godin's excellent performance, Manchester City looked more relaxed and comfortable in defense.

The score was also fixed at 1:0.

Both sides went into halftime with the scoreline.

At half-time, Rafael Benitez made a rare comeback to Godin – he used to be very good at praising the players' appearances, especially at half-time, and he didn't even praise individual players at all, for fear that the players would be upset after being praised.

This time, however, he broke with convention and praised Godin.

This surprised the rest of the Manchester City players.

Benitez's praise came from the heart, and he really thought Godin's appearance was good.

However, after the praise, his expression regained his solemnity.

'The second half was more of a test because in the first half Walcott wasn't strong enough and in the second half you were tested more, Diego. Benitez said to Godin. "But that's okay, remember what we've practiced in training, work well with your team-mates, and even Walcott has nothing to fear."

Robinho suddenly shouted from the side, "That's it, Diego! What is there to fear about Walcott? You're proud of training every day! ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Someone turned their heads to look at the glory.

The glory of the lying gun rolled his eyes, Robinho, the bastard......

Even the strict Benitez couldn't hold back, a smile appeared on his face, and the atmosphere in the locker room instantly became much more relaxed and joyful.

Godin felt the kindness of everyone encouraging him and laughed.

After laughing, Benitez said to Godin, "Robinho is right, Diego. You're proud of training every day! He repeated Robinho's words.

Yes, who is more powerful Glory or Walcott?

Glory, of course.

Is it more terrifying?

It's also a glory!

Godin has first-hand experience of this.

Especially these days, in order to practice what to do when the backline faces a speed-type breaker, Glory, Robinho, Martin Petrov and others have imitated Ribery and Robben as defenders.

Glory mimicked Arjen Robben, who swooped in from the right and then cut inside and fired a left-footed shot at goal.

As the left centre-back, Godin had to face him again and again in training.

Every time Glory dribbled at him, Godin could feel a sense of danger being pounced on by the tiger, and this feeling made him sweat and tired after fighting Glory a few times.

In fact, it's not that he's tired, his physical fitness is not bad enough to practice a few rounds, it's mainly because of the pressure, nervousness, fear, and worry.

There is also a reason for glory, Rongguang didn't treat this as training at all in training, he showed the state of the real game in training, and it was completely a murderous feeling of tearing the opponent apart at any time.

He was so serious and strict that it gave Godin the illusion that this was not training but a real game......

And when he actually faced Van Persie and others in the game, he felt that they were simply too ...... compared to glory Kind.

Aside from being a little nervous when he first came on the pitch, he is now very calm.

Yes, I was abused by Rong, Van Persie, Walcoat or something, what is there to be afraid of?

※※※

In the Arsenal dressing room, Arsene Wenger was telling Theo Walcott: "You were a little quiet in the first half, you have to be lively in the second half and use your pace to break down their left defence. Godin loves to grab and this is just the right thing for you. And he's got a yellow card on him, so he's going to have some scruples in defence......"

Walcott nodded his head again and again, and finally he said: "Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down!" ”

"Good!" Wenger nodded vigorously.

He was really optimistic about "Little Tiger" Walcott, and he was poached from Southampton because he knew that Walcourt was a talented player.

At the time, Walcott was in the same dormitory as Gareth Bale, a Welsh boy named Gareth Bale, and Wenger chose Walcoat because he was convinced that Walcott's future achievements would not be lower than Henry's.

This game will be a chance to prove it.

※※※

The second half resumed after a fifteen-minute break, with no substitutions being made.

However, in terms of tactics, some fine-tuning has been made.

In the second half, Theo Walcott's chances for the ball increased significantly, and his right side became an important corridor for Arsenal's attack.

Godin saw this scene on the pitch and thought to himself that the boss was really right, Walcourt would definitely be reused by Arsenal against Manchester City, and in this case, he would also be severely tested in the game......

However, when he thought of the glory of his imposing strength in training, Godot suddenly felt that the upcoming test was not so severe......

He even had a faint expectation in his heart, expecting Walcott to come, so that he could see how big the gap between this man and glory was.

Come on, come on......

He cast his gaze on Walcott in the distance, staring at him, repeating it in his mind.

As if praying.

He then saw the ball being passed to Walcott's feet.

His spirits were lifted - what he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

※※※

"Arsenal's counter-attack, Walcott got the ball on the wing!" Narrator John Mortenson raised his voice.

Manchester City are coming back and it's a great time for Theo Walcott to play with his speed!

Sure enough, Walcott, after getting the ball, quickly turned and drove the ball forward.

Matuidi came in from the middle to defend, but Walcott forced it out with speed!

"Walcott! Pretty! That's fast! Matuidi didn't even get a chance to foul! ”

The few Arsenal fans in the stands cheered, but their cheers were quickly drowned out by the boos of the City fans......
