Chapter 29: Specializing in Attacking Elite Troops

"Manchester City is still very anxious!"

Paul Mawson said as he watched the game unfold.

Although Manchester City did slow down in the first few minutes, after Arsenal's counterattacks again and again, the tempo was accelerated, and David Silva wanted to slow down the tempo but had to face Arsenal in the midfield. Crazy pressing.

In this case, the rhythm cannot be slowed down at all.

"Arsenal used this tactic in the 13-14 season, and Patrice added more initiative and pressing intensity to this tactic. They forced Manchester City to be unable to slow down. Rhythm, play slowly!”

Paul Mawson said: "Arsenal have the tempo in their hands once again!"

On the sidelines, Guardiola had one hand in his pocket and the other hand rubbing his smooth scalp.

The rhythm of the second half began to develop towards the edge of getting out of control again.

Manchester City couldn't play at the pace they wanted, and Arsenal used constant containment and pressure to force them to speed up the pace.

When the pace speeds up, the time for thinking becomes shorter.

In terms of such short-term decision-making, Arsenal undoubtedly has the upper hand.

In other words, due to the existence of Lucky, Arsenal is better at playing the ball at this pace.

When other midfielders pass the ball, they have to observe and think before taking action.

Lucky only needs to think, because he knows exactly what will happen next.

To this end, Lucky can handle the ball and pass it out in a very short time.

The ball passed out is definitely the best choice and may even create a danger of attacking the goal.

Therefore, no team that plays fast-paced against Arsenal will end well.

This is true for Manchester City, Dortmund, Bayern and Juventus.

In this fast-paced game, Lucky is right at home.

Although the physical exertion is great, as long as the rhythm remains here, they have enough suppressive power.

Manchester City desperately wanted to score.

Arsenal's defense is extremely strong.

Lucky is in the defensive midfielder position. His task is not only offensive, but also defensive command.

Therefore, with the help of Lucky, Arsenal's defense is like an iron barrel.

"Come on! Gunner!"

"go ahead!

! "

"Twenty minutes left!

"

“Win the game!

"

"Take three points from Intihad!"

Arsenal fans shouted one by one.

Despite Arsenal's defensive stance, they never forgot to counterattack.

They won't go so far as to destroy the ball directly in the penalty area.

As long as there is a chance, they will definitely counterattack quickly.

And Manchester City is obviously not used to this style of play.

After repeated defenses and counterattacks, Manchester City gradually became tired.

Time enters 70 minutes.

At this time, Manchester City is becoming more and more anxious!

Seeing that the game was about to end, they could not see any hope of equalizing the score.

in a hurry!

Extremely anxious!

Everyone wants to score goals.

They all want to move forward!

At this time, a loud roar suddenly came.

"He can't run for long! We must hold on!"

De Bruyne suddenly shouted at his teammates.

This sentence also made the Manchester City players stunned for a moment, and immediately looked in the direction of Arsenal.

They found that the Arsenal players were breathing more quickly than the other.

Obviously, Manchester City's offense is not completely ineffective, and Arsenal's physical fitness has declined seriously.

They couldn't continue to defend for 20 minutes.

Manchester City will eventually have a chance to score.

At this moment, the Manchester City players seemed to see hope.

Just when they were about to roll up their sleeves and go for it, the whistle sounded.

The ball rolled out of the baseline and Arsenal made a substitution!

Three consecutive places!

Sanchez, Mertesacker and Monreal come off.

Flamini, Mustafi and Gibbs come on.

Arsenal made three substitutions in one go, leaving no room for safe substitutions.

It's like saying to Manchester City, 'I'm done! ’

"Shit!"

Guardiola let out a rare curse.

This guy Patrice really doesn't give him any chance!

He fell down and made substitutions, and replaced three defensive players in one go to further consolidate the defense.

This means that Manchester City's offensive pressure has increased.

The glimmer of hope I had seen also disappeared.

Guardiola is like this, and Manchester City players are even more like this.

All of their expressions were extremely ugly.

No chance at all.

Directly kill any possibility.

The coaching style of Arsenal's interim coach is like that of a wolf, which bites and refuses to let go.

Even the glimmer of hope that Manchester City had just seen was directly eliminated by Arsenal.

Guardiola also made a substitution.

But this substitution was a bit reluctant and further increased the offensive ability, but Arsenal took the lead.

Guardiola has some regrets.

He should have been replaced early!

Now he was waved off by the opponent first.

From the moment the game started, he was plotted against by Arsenal's interim coach.

One step behind, every step behind!

So, that damn goal is the bane of everything!

"Resist!

There are 20 minutes left, the newcomer runs more and helps fill the position! "

Lucky yelled.

Patrais' substitutions were just right, helping Arsenal increase their defensive strength on the field.

If the offense sent out three defensive players at once, this method would undoubtedly reveal all their cards.

But Arsenal was on the defensive, so what cards did they have?

Every minute they could defend was a minute.

It was already very remarkable to hold out for 70 minutes with the original lineup.

"Hu~~~~~~~~"

Patrais took a long breath on the sidelines.

If nothing unexpected happened, this game would have been a success!

This was also the second strong team he had defeated.

Thinking of this, Patrais looked a little strange.

He seemed to be particularly good at playing against these elites?

Ordinary guys could make it difficult for them.

In the past, many Premier League teams had the title of giant killers.

And what was his?

Specializing in playing against elites?

Manchester City fans in the Intihad Stadium looked helpless.

In this game, Manchester City's performance was really unsatisfactory.

And this game also exposed some problems about Manchester City.

This is also a good thing!

However, losing the game and losing the possibility of 7 consecutive wins is extremely regrettable.

The most important thing is that it is still a home loss.

For every team, losing at home is an infuriating thing.

After all, fans don’t buy tickets to watch the home team lose at home!

Before the game was over, some Manchester City fans had already turned around and left the stadium.

Even if they didn’t continue to watch, they probably knew the trend of the game.

It can’t be turned over!

This is also the case. Arsenal firmly resisted Manchester City’s attacks again and again.

Throughout the game, although Manchester City organized many attacks, the number of shots was relatively small, and the number of shots on target was even less.

Arsenal stubbornly resisted Manchester City’s attacks again and again.

The final time came to 90 minutes, and the time entered injury time.

In the 92nd minute, Manchester City took advantage of a corner kick opportunity, and Aguero suddenly attacked and completed the attack at the front point, scoring a goal.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

In the 7th round of the Premier League in the 2015-2016 season, Manchester City lost to Arsenal 1:2.

Arsenal ended Manchester City's winning streak, and Manchester City's morale also became depressed.

Post-match press conference.

Guardiola said to the media; "This defeat gave us not only a defeat, but also many problems. For this game, I never felt that Arsenal had any unstable state problems. They are still the Champions League champion team. They are very strong!"

"We have used all our strength but still failed to beat them. Of course, Manchester City is still adjusting now. No one can tell how the future will win or lose."

Guardiola said with a smile, but Patelez's cheek twitched.

This bald Guardiola!

He is holding Arsenal up.

Now Arsenal has finally improved a little, and this guy's words have made other players tighten their nerves against Arsenal again.

Therefore, everyone has to rack their brains to target Arsenal.

This is the situation that Parles does not want to see.

So, this guy is a smiling tiger.

He smiles on his face, but he is stirring up trouble.

The so-called tactical masters, each of them has a dirty heart!
