Chapter 1420 This kind of kick is not good-looking
The game continued in the constant entanglement and pulling of the two teams. Due to the way Manchester City played, the game was destined not to look good immediately.

"Blue Moon's constant passing and pulling, their numerical advantage and positioning make it difficult for Arsenal players to break the ball through the frontcourt."

The two commentators followed the game through the screen and watched the players from both sides clash in the midfield. For a while, they tried to find some differences in the different midfield styles of the two teams.

"Blue Moon's home players have a tacit understanding in the overall defensive cooperation. They are constantly changing positions and supplementing defenses. They are moving as if they are a whole. Afeng and Aguero have been lost in it."

The two Gunners forwards were very active in the press at the beginning, but in the end even Liu Feng, who insisted on carrying the press to the end without wasting even a single chance, gave up.

Without him, Manchester City is completely different from other opponents who played 451 against Arsenal in order to defend and not lose points. They took the initiative to choose 451, which is the most suitable formation for them.

Perhaps in terms of technical and personal abilities, their midfield may be inferior to Arsenal's, but at this moment, in terms of physical confrontation and team play, they are far greater than Arsenal's midfield combination.

"Using team football to counter Arsenal's football is very effective when the Gunners are scattered and pressing, but once Arsenal also start to control the ball and control the rhythm of the game, it may change."

Zhan Jun expressed his views clearly, and his views were quickly fulfilled on the court.

In the No. 20 minute of the game, when Manchester City seized the team to attack and launch a counterattack, Arsenal hadn't calmed down yet, so they encountered an extremely thrilling scene.

"Rosicky just crossed the middle circle with the ball. His movements were fast, but he had to slow down and linger in the face of Manchester City's blue Great Wall. Hargreaves went straight up and gave the ball to Ramsey."

This was a forceful attack by the Gunners in the middle of the opponent's midfield. When Ramsey received the ball and accelerated towards Yaya Toure, the team's two forwards had already entered the Blue Moon's central defender line.

Wilshere and Walcott on the left and right sides have also killed all the way from their respective flanks.

"This is Arsenal's attacking opportunity, Yaya Toure and Ramsey are directly facing each other, as long as you can get the ball, Barry! When Yaya Toure got Ramsey's attention, he came out of the diagonal stab, and he broke the ball!"

Ramsey staggered and lost possession of the ball. When he turned around, Barry had already kicked it out.

"The ball flew towards the Arsenal half. Balotelli unloaded the ball from his chest. The player closest to him was Vermaelen. The defender stuck him tightly and passed the ball with his back! Balotelli took the ball again!"

"Shh!"

Quick and unexpected pass, Bashen's movements are amazingly fast, and no one thought that he would give the ball directly like this.

But the fact is that this is definitely not a few blind passes, because the ball did indeed fly from the position of Bashen towards the direction where Dzeko rushed to the right front.

"Dzeko, stretch out his right leg to unload the ball. The rhythm between running is completely consistent with the ball. Dzeko's sense of the ball is very good. He directly pushed the ball forward. He left Mertesacker behind. Mertesacker, direct foul!"

This is in the middle of the Gunners' midfield, which will soon be close to their penalty area. Even if Mertesacker's movement is slower, the Gunners may face the opportunity to have to give the opponent a very good free kick.

But even so, when the referee blew the whistle in his mouth, he directly showed Mertesacker a yellow card.

"This is a very decisive and extremely precise foul with timing cards. Mertesacker directly disrupted Blue Moon's offensive rhythm."

On the court, Mertesacker didn't even leave after pulling Dzeko down. He stared at Dzeko tightly, standing tightly in front of the ball he concealed when the opponent stood up.

Yes, this move directly prevented Manchester City from taking a free kick. Dzeko, who had this intention, could only glance at Mertesacker and turn away from the ball.

Then Manchester City's set-piece attack did not create another thrilling scene when Arsenal were fully focused.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the professor was stimulated to practice the team's set-piece defense during this period of preparation after the Arsenal team conceded successively in set-pieces.

All in all, after Manchester City's thrilling counterattack, Arsenal have fully recognized the situation. Manchester City is by no means incapable of killing them, they just chose this style of play.

In this case, it would be foolish for Arsenal to continue to engage in this kind of attack with the whole army and leave the rear for the opponent to counterattack.

It will be a rally, not a quick showdown, and Wenger and his protégés recognize that.

Fabianski sent the ball from the front of the goal, and Arsenal also controlled the possession of the ball on their own side of the pitch. Rosicky, Ramsey, Wilshere and Walcott were all in no hurry.

The positions of Liu Feng and Aguero were near the center circle under Wenger's command from the sidelines just now, and they also directly became a member of the team's possession of the ball.

So, the game changed completely after No. 20 minutes.

"Arsenal's possession of the ball is not in a hurry, and the opponents are not aggressive. Rosicky's artistic atmosphere is undoubtedly revealed. His advantages in ball control and scheduling are slowly coming into play."

Zhan Jun has a deep understanding of Rosicky. He has been commentating the Premier League all the year round, and he actually admires this Czech footballer who has been shining in Arsenal.

"This season, due to the fact that the Gunners have more requirements for quick offense, his number of appearances has gradually fallen behind that of Ganso, but this does not affect that he is still an excellent midfielder."

With Rosicky as the center, Manchester City is not in a hurry for the gunners or the gunners. The farthest distance from their ball possession to the opponent's midfield is just the area where Liu Feng and Aguero are.

"The rhythm has changed. Manchester City's too conservative style of play like Xuanwu's is no longer useful. They start to lose the situation, and Arsenal's possession of the ball is neither rush nor slow."

10 minutes passed very quickly, and Manchester City completely lost touch with the ball. When the ball possession rate in the first half was listed in No. 40 minutes of the game, the ball possession ratio of the two sides reached a disparity of 3-7.

Manchester City's tenacious playing style that made Arsenal unable to attack was completely exposed. They had very few ways to score without a chance to counterattack.

It wasn't a good look either, as neither team attempted to create chances during that stretch.
