Chapter 1282: Blue Moon Wants the Crown

"The movement of handling the ball is somewhat deformed. The players who are used to playing on the normal lawn have to spend more time adapting to this rain battle."

After the opening of the game, there was a period of chaos. The Arsenal players who should pass the ball smoothly in the fans' impression performed very averagely.

Reluctantly letting the ball run on the court in their own way, the more gratifying point is that their opponent Manchester City also performed very generally during this period.

Although the heavy rain has little effect on running without the ball, it still requires more detailed predictions if you want to accurately predict the trajectory of the ball and accurately block it.

Big and small, different layouts with different water volumes in different areas make the ball travel completely different trajectories in different places, which makes it difficult to steal the ball.

The first transfer of the ball after the start of the game was due to Ganso's forward through pass which exceeded Aguero's control distance due to the wet grass, and was finally broken by Manchester City defender Zabaleta.

The defender is quite good at his passing ability, and he didn't hesitate to take the ball directly after stealing the ball.

There was water splashing in the air, Aguero's face was covered with rain, and the ball flew directly from the backcourt back to the midfield area.

This time, it was Manchester City who had possession of the ball.

In this game, Manchester City also played 442. In terms of striker configuration, Bosnian striker Dzeko and young striker Adam Johnson played together.

In terms of midfield, Nasri, the former Arsenal player and an important member of last season's five-time champion, is on the left midfielder, Savage is on the right midfielder, and the two midfielders are De Jong and Hargreaves.

This combination is more mature than the Gunners' younger midfielder. They always handle the ball more securely than the more aggressive Gunners midfielder.

This is in line with Mancini's football logic, a coach who values ​​stability over all other slant forwards and prefers to win in a neutral way.

But this also means that if the overall strength of the team is not strong enough, it will be difficult for him and his team to have the strength to win the championship.

As a team that has not had a championship for 36 years, no matter which event, the Manchester City executives who have spent a lot of money for several seasons have long been unable to wait.

If Mancini still can't lead the team to achieve results, maybe this season will be his last battle in charge of this team.

Originally in the league, Manchester City's performance since the start has been safe, and their scoring efficiency is not much better than any champion before the rise of Arsenal.

But by chance, they encountered Arsenal's ruthless rise after acquiring Liu Feng.

Today's Premier League has directly become three leagues, one is the Arsenal League, the other is the Second League, and the third is other teams.

This allowed Mancini to accept the reality helplessly, and then began to seek breakthroughs in other events.

The UEFA Champions League, which needs to overcome various difficulties with the top lineup and cannot guarantee the final success, is not considered, and the rest is only two domestic cups.

Be it the FA Cup or the League Cup, Manchester City's hunger for the championship has reached the point where it is difficult to increase, no matter what the price is, they will fight for a championship this season.

Therefore, this season, once again waving money to sign a lot of capable players, the overall strength of the team has finally reached the style of play that Mancini's own tactical thinking fits.

After stealing the ball for the first time, Manchester City's four midfielders began to appear frequently on the pitch. Due to the rain, the characteristics of the Gunners' fast-forwarding and fast-passing midfielders could not be played, but the opponent's advantages began to appear.

"Hargreaves cleverly used the environment on the court, and the ball was not touched by the pressing Ramsey."

In the 11th minute of the game, Manchester City took possession of the ball and attacked. Blue Moon, who obviously adapted to the environment faster than the young players like the Gunners, started to advance from the midfield under the cheers of his own fans.

When Hargreaves passed Ramsey, Nasri, who was shouting on the left, also received a pass from his teammate as he wished.

Strange to say, this old general, like Van Persie, has expressed his loyalty to the Gunners in public more than once, but in the end he has been dragging his feet on the issue of contract renewal to join the money-wielding Manchester City.

Although as a professional player, his behavior is beyond reproach, but Arsenal fans really can't accept it.

In these two seasons, from Van Persie, Fabregas to Nasri, these are all important members who they thought would bring the team back to glory.

Many fans are crazy for them, write songs for them, and talk to many intersex people for them.

But they left as soon as they said they would, without any nostalgia.

Therefore, even though Wenger came out and said that Nasri and the Gunners had spent a good time together and wished him all the best in the future, there are still a lot of Gunners fans who continue to attack him on Nasri's social platform.

This made Nasri's mood quite unstable. After meeting his former club in advance in this League Cup, he was determined to let people take a good look at his own strength.

So, when Nasri got the ball from the wing, he took the ball and started a three-person chase with Gan Suo who was leaning over and the little tiger who was chasing behind him.

"Nasri is very steady with the ball. This player is in his peak period. He pulls the ball and pushes it along the side. Oh~, without starting speed, he directly buckles the little tiger chasing from behind the side. He got rid of it wonderfully. He kicked!"

There are many ways to show the strength of a midfielder, and passing people is obviously not the only way.

Watching the ball fly in the rain and then land firmly in front of Dzeko, who is backed up in the middle, people have to admit that Nasri's performance is still very good even after the transfer.

Like Van Persie, who already occupied the C position at Manchester United, was reused immediately after joining Barcelona, ​​Nasri quickly proved to the football world that the Gunners must be high-quality products.

"Dzeko has the ball and Phil Jones behind him keeps putting pressure on him, how does he deal with that?"

"Shu~"

Fast and anxious, but because of the environment, he pulled the ball and knocked it back. The ball was knocked out of Dzeko's right heel, but it magically appeared behind him and Phil Jones on the left.

Therefore, when the two turned around at the same time, the mistake in predicting the ball made the young Jones lose the opportunity.

"Beautiful turn, Dzeko chased after the ball, Mertesacker quickly rushed over to defend, took the first step and hit the goal directly!!!"

"Oh!"

Without delaying the opportunity, when the rain on the ball swayed with Dzeko's kick, a white meteor broke through the rain and flew towards Fabianski.

"I didn't touch the ball, the ball went in! Go in!!!"
