Chapter 56: Goal Battle

Time goes back to one minute ago.

Manchester City launched an attack, Arsenal chased back, and Lucky was too far forward in the attack and could not return to defense in time.

Facing the problem of Arsenal's failure to return to defense in time, Manchester City quickly launched a counterattack and wanted to score a goal before the Arsenal players retreated.

But the overly anxious retreat caused a break in the pass. Jimenez saw the opportunity and slid forward to kick the ball to Wilshere's feet.

The ball bounced off Wilshere's toes, and Wilshere hooked his foot and swung it behind him.

This was a clearance ball, not even a pass.

But it was this kind of ball that fell behind Lucky.

Lucky turned and sprinted immediately.

At this time, Manchester City also faced the problem of not returning to defense in time, and the goalkeeper was standing forward.

Lucky ran out of the half court, took two steps forward, looked up and observed that the goalkeeper still had not retreated to the right position.

In this case, Lucky directly lobbed.

It was called a lob, but the power was strong, and the curve was flat, more like a long shot.

The power of Lekai's shot was not strong, but the accuracy was very high.

The ball bypassed the goalkeeper and accurately went into the goal.

Lekai scored twice, helping Arsenal to take the lead again.

"This goal is so lucky!"

"Of course, it's lucky that Wilshere's pass, or clearance, just fell behind Kai."

"And Kai, after observing, found that the goalkeeper was standing forward, and immediately chose a long shot, and accurately hit the ball into Manchester City's goal!"

The commentator kept applauding while explaining.

Lekai's performance in this game was simply fatal.

Facing Manchester City at the Intihad Stadium, Lekai's performance was still very strong.

After Manchester City led for a short period in the first half, they were in a passive situation in the second half.

Just got back a goal, and now they are behind again.

Falling behind twice in a row will obviously increase Manchester City's sense of urgency.

However, since they had equalized before, their fighting spirit is still very strong.

"Hey! Let's score another goal!"

"Our attack is effective, don't be afraid of them!"

"That's right! Focus on the game, don't think too much, we can do it!"

Manchester City players encouraged each other.

Compared with last season, the inner growth of Manchester City players this season is huge.

Compared with the situation last season when they were prone to collapse in the face of setbacks, this situation has almost disappeared after this season.

Perhaps it was the league championship that gave them great confidence.

Or maybe Guardiola made them grow up.

Anyway, Manchester City is really hard to deal with now.

Of course, regardless of these, Arsenal fell into jubilation.

Leading again!

This lead also made them more confident.

Mourinho on the sidelines waved his fist excitedly.

He thought this game would be difficult, but he didn't think it would be so difficult.

Falling behind, equalizing, leading, being equalized, and now leading again.

It can be said that the fans who watched this game felt like they were on a roller coaster.

The last second was heaven, and the next second might be hell.

This exciting game also made the fans hold their hands to their hearts.

They sighed that the game was wonderful, and they shouted that they couldn't stand it.

In the Intihad Stadium, the cheers of Manchester City fans lasted for a long time.

They kept shouting for the team to motivate them.

Encouragement is mutual.

Last time, the players gave them a tie with a goal.

This time, they cheered to boost the morale of the players.

Soon, the game started again!

At this time, the score was Manchester City 2:3 Arsenal, and there were still 20 minutes before the end of the game.

If Manchester City wants to win, they have to score two goals in a row within 20 minutes.

"Manchester City is starting to speed up! They obviously don't accept defeat, they still want to win!"

"Kyle Walker pushes forward, De Bruyne receives the ball, is he going to pass it? Do it yourself!! Ah~~~ The ball brushed past Arsenal's goal, if the angle was a little bit inside, the ball would have been there!"

Andy Gray exclaimed.

De Bruyne's long shot was very sudden, and the angle was tricky.

Martinez failed to react instantly.

But the ball still flew out of the baseline.

Martinez also had more thoughts, he kept scolding his teammates in front, asking them to limit Manchester City's kicks.

But Manchester City's offensive seemed to pick up again.

Football is not a turn-based game, but this game has this turn-based feeling.

During Arsenal's offensive time, Arsenal frantically suppressed and advanced to score goals.

And during Manchester City's offensive time, they will continue to penetrate forward.

Both teams use their abilities to create opportunities under their own tactical systems.

Now, Manchester City is gradually getting hot.

They also played well in the quick interweaving in the frontcourt.

On the other hand, Arsenal was somewhat embarrassed by defense.

"Koscielny, go warm up and get ready to play!"

Jimenez made a great contribution in this game and played a very important role on the defensive end.

It can be said that Jimenez blocked Sane's advances and shots many times.

Now, Jimenez's physical strength is obviously unable to support it.

After Koscielny came on the field, he not only strengthened Arsenal's defense, but also further stabilized the situation.

Just when Koscielny was warming up, a problem suddenly occurred on the field.

When Bellerin stepped forward to receive the ball, he failed to stop the ball with his first kick, and the ball rolled directly to David Silva's feet.

For a professional player, this is a low-level mistake that cannot be any lower.

Bellerin also realized this and immediately pressed forward, even at the cost of knocking David Silva down.

But at this time, David Silva faced such a good opportunity, how could he let the opponent do what he wanted.

He stopped the ball with his right foot and buckled his left foot towards the inside line.

The ball flew towards Aguero in the middle, and he was knocked down directly by Bellerin.

Faced with such a great opportunity, Aguero stopped the ball while turning sideways, and then turned and shot without waiting for Hummels to come forward.

This kick was powerful and flew accurately to the far corner of Arsenal's goal!

"Aguero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--"

"The Argentine center forward saved Manchester City again!!!!"

"God!!! A wonderful turn and volley!!! Manchester City equalized again!!!!"

"This game is simply great!! The two teams chased each other and staged a wonderful goal battle!! "

"That's right, it's a goal battle!! "

"They have scored 3 goals each, and there have been 6 goals in this game!! "

"Manchester City still has a chance!! "

The Arsenal players looked at the backs of the Manchester City players who were celebrating, and their faces turned green.

These guys are like dog skin plasters!

You can't get rid of them no matter how you shake them.

Just after taking the lead, these guys equalized.

After two consecutive equalizations, the game is back to the starting point.

77 minutes, Manchester City 3:3 Arsenal!

Manchester City's tenacity makes Arsenal players feel very distressed.

At this moment, there is little physical strength left, but the game is back to expectations.

At the same time, facing the guys who are like dog skin plasters, they can't help but sigh in their hearts.

At this moment, a roar came.

"Cheer up! There are more than ten minutes left. Even if it's a tie, it's a tie. We can still score!!"

"Facing a tough opponent, we should play more focused! Instead of being discouraged!"

Lekai patted his chest and said; "Look at the mark on your chest, we are Arsenal! We will defeat any opponent!"

Lekai's roar interrupted his teammates' negative mentality in time.

Seeing his teammates' slightly improved expressions, Lekai was relieved.

But he was also full of worries.

The next game has only a 50% chance of winning.

The physical decline is too serious.

Lekai turned his head to look at the bench, and Mourinho has already started to prepare for substitutions.

"Lacazette! Come here!"

Mourinho's face was solemn.

The mentality of wanting to defend before has completely disappeared at this time.

Damn defense, what they need now is offense.

Koscielny returned to the bench, and Lacazette and Xhaka appeared on both sides of Mourinho.

Lacazette is a striker, and his only mission is to score goals.

Xhaka is to play a defensive role.

In other words, Mourinho intends to move Luka forward.

He wants to put the most threatening players in front to win!
