Chapter 44
At the pre-match press conference, head coach Guardiola told reporters: "About Fang, I was very impressed with him. In the 6th round of the Premier League, when we played against each other for the first time, I already remembered him. This player!"

"Fang is undoubtedly talented, and I admire him very much. It is no exaggeration to say that I see some shadows of stars I have coached in him. Of course, I can't say who it is yet."

"For young players, I generally don't like to put too much pressure on him. I hope that every talented player can fulfill his talent"

In fact, Guardiola is not the only one who praises the equation in this way.

Just after the Arsenal-Liverpool match,
The outside world is generally optimistic about his future.

Arsenal's famous players from all walks of life come out from time to time to praise his sophisticated style of play, and hope that he can carry the banner of Arsenal's rise in the future!
There is even a famous celebrity who came out to accept media interviews, saying that if possible, it is best to naturalize the Oriental as soon as possible. With his potential, he is likely to become a generation of midfield masters in the future. The Three Lions just need such a talented midfielder !

These remarks can be described as shocking, and one stone caused a thousand waves.

Under the general optimism of the outside world,

The de-turning price of the equation has risen from the initial 150 million euros to 2300 million euros, and there is still an upward trend.
As the most valuable Eastern player ever,

But the equation is like a normal person,
When it’s time to train, it’s training, when it’s time to rest, it’s time to rest, without any external influence.

After seeing the calmness of the equation, Saka felt that he still had a lot to learn.

He has been eager to score his first Premier League goal recently, resulting in ups and downs,
If he can play better, maybe he can help the team win a few more points.

In the end, Saka felt that his mentality was a bit bad, if he could hold his breath like an equation, it would be fine.
On December 12, the Premier League round of 8.

Arsenal only had a day off, and then came to Manchester City for the game.

There is no doubt that Arsenal is still full defense in this game.

If they want to head-to-head with the Premier League hegemony, Arsenal still need to develop for a few more years.

The opening ball went to Manchester City,
As soon as the game started, Equation felt a sense of suffocation and oppression that had not been seen for a long time.

This is the unique strong taste of Manchester City.

look around,

Manchester City's ball possession and movement are very smooth, and everyone can form a tacit understanding. Facing Arsenal's upsurge, they can completely guarantee a pass path with ease.

De Bruyne, the core midfielder, was very active today. He kept catching, asking for, and handling the ball, and did his due diligence in midfield scheduling.

He has passed the ball several times in a row, but he didn't stop the ball, and directly knocked it to a nearby teammate.
Power and precision are perfect!
When all this is reflected by De Bruyne, it looks very relaxed and freehand!

This is the top midfielder in the Premier League, and his unique ball sense talent can be reflected in the details! !
Fang Fang's pupils shrank slightly, seeing that De Bruyne's ball in the midfield was not restricted by his teammates' targets at all, and his heart was a little shocked.
This is why it is said that young players should accumulate rich game experience while they are young,

Only when you compete with a strong opponent, can you know what shortcomings you still have, and then you can catch up.

If you keep playing chess with the stinky basket, it will only get worse and worse.
And strictly speaking, this is the first time that the equation has seen De Bruyne's handling of the pass so closely.

In the last match, he only played in the last period of time, and De Bruyne was already off.It is a pity that until now, he and De Bruyne have really competed together for the first time
If it wasn't for connecting Arsenal's midfield and backcourt outlets, Fang Fang really wanted to take the initiative to ask for a job. He wanted to personally target De Bruyne and take the opportunity to learn some experience.

And when De Bruyne was in good form, ordinary people's targeting really couldn't restrain him.

This time, Sane got a pass. After he tried to break through from the wing but failed, he had no choice but to pass back.

The power of the return pass was a bit strong, and Silva had no time to handle the football calmly.
Before Xhaka came up to snatch the ball, Silva, who had outstanding consciousness, did not choose to protect the ball, but first poked the football into the empty area not far behind,

De Bruyne had spotted the gap ahead of time and just ran over!

The cooperation between the top players is as simple as that,
Sometimes they don't need to pass the ball to their feet at all, they only need to pass to the open area, and then their teammates will naturally run in place!

Of course, when it comes to attacking, the same will happen!

At this time, De Bruyne was temporarily unrestricted. He flicked the ball first, then swung his right leg, and decisively sent a forward oblique long pass to the frontcourt! !
On the right side of Arsenal, Sterling happened to be in place!

The happy boy's consciousness is very good, and he only needs to turn around halfway, and with a straight chest, he easily unloads the football in the corner of the penalty area.

Arsenal's Mustafi quickly defended and tried to block Sterling's position.

But such a card position is too simple for Sterling,

As happy as he is, he is also an excellent striker,

Tap the football lightly with your toes,
An arc crossed Mustafi's head,
Immediately afterwards, Sterling quickly turned around and ran towards the penalty area in the middle!
Sterling made a breakthrough to score the ball alone! !

However, k6 Koscielny reacted very quickly. When Sterling turned around and broke through, he decisively defended from the penalty area.

Facing the flying football, k6 lowered his head and pushed it out violently!

The happy boy took a step too late, and almost bumped into k6 in the restricted area! !

"Well--"

There was a burst of exclamation in the audience.

Sterling almost completed the goal pass, and the next step is to cut in and shoot! !
The entire Arsenal team was shocked by this scene.

Professor Wenger on the sidelines couldn't help shaking. He quickly clapped his hands and shouted to the sidelines: "Be careful, don't get hit behind you!!!"

And this time the offense is just one of Manchester City's rich offensive routines.

Next, there are short pass penetration in the middle, two-way flying together, etc.
Arsenal's defense quickly became jittery! !

In the entire first half, Arsenal almost only got one corner kick to attack.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Leno's attention is very concentrated, and he has repeatedly resolved Manchester City's threatening shots!

At halftime,

Guardiola emphasized to his disciples: "Although we still have goals, it doesn't matter. We continue to play behind them in the second half. Under the continuous attack, there will always be times when they lose their minds. Remember the frontcourt It’s necessary to come back, and you must pay attention to that young midfielder!”

Guardiola thought for a while, and said earnestly,
"Although he hasn't played an assist in the midfielder position, we can't rule out his ability to assist indirectly. As long as he has the opportunity to counter-pass the ball, he must remember to steal it in time!"

"Good coach!" Several frontcourt players nodded seriously.
