Array football

Chapter 157 Xiaofa and Lao Xi
"If we win this game, we will gain a 4-point advantage! Even if it is a draw, we will still be ahead in the standings!" Wenger tried to calm the players down: "So we shouldn't be the ones who should be anxious, It can only be them! Everyone must hold their ground in the second half and don’t lose the ball easily. Only by controlling the football under our feet can we ensure the safety of our team.”

"In the second half of the game, we will focus on control, but we must do it while ensuring the safety of the goal. When appropriate, we can attack and use offense to put pressure on the opponent!"

"Xiaofa is the core of the organization. Flamini will work harder. The defense will continue to take care of David Silva. When attacking, you can participate."

Wenger thought about it and made an arrangement.He knows that Arsenal's advantage is offense, and defense alone may not be able to contain Manchester City's offense.

As soon as the second half started, the home fans noticed that Wenger's team was more aggressive in attacking.

Several impressive offenses, Walcott and Adebayor, both got some opportunities.

"You see, Arsenal are still more suitable for attacking. In the first half, they were restrained and played too awkwardly."

Duncan whispered to Jim Cassell.

Although Arsenal got several chances, Duncan was not in a hurry.

The camera pans to Duncan a few times, and Duncan sits there, motionless.

The Manchester City players on the field were infected by Duncan, and they were still calm.Now they have a one-ball lead, so naturally they won't panic.

Although Arsenal were given a few chances, Manchester City's defensive position was reasonable, and the defense between each other was also done very well. They did not give Arsenal any absolute good chances.

Flamini saw that Arsenal's offense had also improved, and his mind became active.With Fabregas' scheduling in the midfield, if coupled with his forward penetration, will it revitalize Arsenal's offense?

Thinking of this, when Arsenal attacked again, Flamini followed Cesc Fabregas to distract Manchester City's defensive attention.

With the investment of troops, Cesc Fabregas has more shots and more opportunities!
Fabregas and Flamini used a light two-for-one to bypass Hargreaves' defense. Manchester City's defense was firmly established and no one rushed to grab it.

As the last barrier in front of the back line, Elano held his position.

His job was to prevent Cesc Fabregas from long range and, if he could, deny Arsenal free-kicks.

The two wingers and center Adebayor kept running forward, compressing Manchester City's defense.

Flamini is also pulling aside to make room for Cesc Fabregas.

Cesc Fabregas was a bit of a headache. Although Manchester City did not have many defenders, their formation was impeccable.This kind of "impeccable" is not felt by ordinary players. On the contrary, a player like him with a strong view of the overall situation and a broad vision is quite restrained.

Walcott on the right has good speed, but his running awareness is average, and he has been mingling with the opponent all the time.

As for Hleb, he is very flexible and free, and his position is never fixed, and sometimes he will even run to the middle to support him.

But he was accompanied by the more flexible Trabelsi, and the Tunisian right back was more flexible, with a pair of eyes rolling around on his dark face.Cesc Fabregas believes that this guy has bad water in his stomach, and if he passes the ball, he will definitely be able to go forward and destroy it immediately.

Forget it, take two more steps and shoot!
Elano didn't grab it.

Cesc Fabregas took a look forward, took the ball around, swung his right foot, and prepared to shoot from long range.

There is also a gap in his combination with football.

That's it!

A blue figure had already poked the ball out first, and Fabregas kicked it empty!
It's Silva!

Silva has been following nearby, seeing that Bregas is about to shoot, he rushed over vigilantly and broke the ball.

Just waiting for you to shoot!

Elano took the ball and passed it straight forward. Silva got the football and pushed forward like the wind.

On the sidelines, Wenger has stood up!
Not good!
Diaby looked at the football, fought and retreated.As long as you occupy the position and force Silva to slow down, you can wait for your teammates to return to their positions.

But Manchester City's offensive players have been running.

Shevchenko pulled from the penalty area and brought out Arsenal's centre-back Toure.

Receiving the ball with his back, Shevchenko used his body to lean against Toure and returned the ball to Silva.

Silva didn't stop the ball and made a direct diagonal pass.

Following the opening created by Shevchenko, Petrov has already broken into the penalty area, and then the football appeared comfortably at his feet.

With a roar, Almunia took the initiative to step forward and spread his arms to expand the defensive area.

Petrov was very calm and chose a cross.

Samaras stepped forward, all he had to do was push the ball into the empty goal.

Almunia was beyond his reach and could only watch the football enter the goal for the second time.

2: 0!

"Samaras scored the goal so comfortably!"

"80% of the credit for this ball should be placed on Silva. His alert steals and precise points are all sharp weapons in Manchester City's offense."

Wenger is in a hurry. He accepts at least one point in this game. If he loses, it will be worthless and he will lose the initiative to compete for the championship.

After Manchester City led by 2 minutes, Arsenal changed two people in a row, Rosicky and Eduardo went into battle.

Van Persie is still recovering from his injuries and cannot make his debut.

Duncan also sees the tricks.

Hargreaves off, replaced by Fellaini.

Fellaini is a player with his own plan B. With a height of 1 meters, he is very effective in defense and offense.

If you want to attack, go to Fellaini.

If you want to defend, go to Fellaini.

Fellaini's header is good, and his feet are not slow. His appearance is equivalent to building an invisible wall for Arsenal.

The media on the sidelines nodded.

Fellaini's performance is simply too worthy of his worth!This kind of performance has greatly strengthened Manchester City's defense!

From the perspective of defensive value alone, Fellaini's worth of more than 1000 million is simply too good for money!

In front of a team of Arsenal's stature, Fellaini's role in defense has been infinitely magnified.

Those who were still questioning Duncan before now realize that Manchester City has done a good deal.

Pedro watched Fellaini's performance off the court, and he was very envious. After all, the three people bought by Dongchuang, Silva was plug and play, and Fellaini's substitute also shined. The only one left, he did not What performance.

In the end, relying on new aid Silva's one-shot and one-shot, and Fellaini's wonderful performance after coming off the bench, Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the standings.

As a result, with an advantage of 2 points, they surpassed Arsenal and took the top spot in the standings.
