The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

Chapter 76 A Penalty Kick Accident
Seeing that they had been unable to grab the ball, Manchester City's formation immediately pressed forward. Relying on the overall upsurge, it led to several changes in the ball.Manchester City still formed a short-term suppression of Arsenal's half.

However, Arsenal's defense did not show any flaws, and everyone was playing their part.

Before the game, Arsenal did enough homework on Manchester City's technical and tactical play, so it is clear that Manchester City will always make quick transfers at the front of the penalty area, whether it is De Bruyne, Gundogan, or the B seat. one hand.

Arsenal only need to stand firm in the formation, not to miss people in the penalty area, and not to give the opponent an easy chance to kick from the wing, and they will be able to defend Manchester City's offensive.

As for whether they will pass the ball or not, that is not Manchester City's style, and their frontcourt players do not have this height advantage.

Arsenal's defense was able to defend crosses with ease.

Faced with this situation, Equation temporarily cooperates with teammates to help defend, and when this period of time passes, it is their turn to counterattack.

Because the game time has not passed for a long time, the defensive players are very focused, which makes it difficult for Manchester City to enter the penalty area.

Seeing that he couldn't get in, Mahrez had to cut into the middle forcibly, and then tried to kick a long shot!
However, Mahrez did not suppress the long-range shot, and the football flew directly over the crossbar.

There was a burst of exclamation in the audience.

This is Manchester City's first shot!
Manchester City's formation quickly receded like a tide,
Fang Fang got the ball and looked around, and saw that Manchester City's half court also stood up on defense.

It seems that because of the single-game elimination system, the people of Manchester City are also very cautious.

Fang Fang came up with the ball and passed the ball to Saka on the right.

Saka suddenly wanted to try a breakthrough, took a small step with the ball, and wanted to rush over with speed.

But just as Saka rushed past Silva, Otamendi made a replacement and Saka knocked down behind him.

The football was knocked out of bounds by Otamendi, and the ball was still on Arsenal's side.

Fang Fang walked over, pulled up Saka on the ground, and said, "They are paying attention to you, save your energy first, and then charge later!"

The wingback played by Saka today still has defensive responsibilities.

"Okay, I'll take my time." Saka nodded helplessly.

Fang Fang knew that there was no rush for this game, so he could only conduct football first and slowly lure the Manchester City people out.

At this time, even if they want to speed up the pace of the game, their opponents may not necessarily think so.

Since the game has been played, the teammates have already trusted the formula.If there is a chance to give the ball to Equation, everyone will look for him immediately.

Whether to attack or defend, everyone will let him make up his mind.

Equations are used to this too.Of course, as the team's midfield brain, there is still a vague sense of control over the overall situation.

Time passed quickly, and there were several ball exchanges on the field.

Towards the end of the first half, City and Arsenal conceded eight shots and four corners between them.The ball possession rate is 53%-47%.

Towards the end, Arsenal played a wave of quick counterattacks, but was finally stopped by Manchester City's Laporte with a foul, and Arsenal won a frontcourt free kick!

42 yards from the goal, the direction is left.

Equation tries a left-footed free-kick, a solid one!
Seeing that the ball was very fast, it flew out of a beautiful arc in the air and fell towards the upper right corner of the goal.

However, the goalkeeper Ederson did not lose his position. He flew forward and shot the football.

Fang Fang couldn't help covering his face, feeling very sorry, the goal was too far away, allowing the goalkeeper to have time to fully prepare.

"It's okay, we still have a chance next time." Lacazette patted him on the back and said.

The equations aren't too tangled either.

That's what it's like to play against the top teams, both sides will contribute many of the best moments!
After all, none of the players in this game is real.
By halftime, both coaches were in the dressing room emphasizing the second-half changes.

When they returned to the field, Manchester City suddenly picked up the pace, took off in two ways, and launched a wave of offensive against Arsenal.

Arsenal's formation was instantly crushed.

Although their defensive positions are firmly established,

However, Gundogan still caught a gap. During his lateral running, he kicked the ball very covertly and found Jesus in the gap in the penalty area!

Jesus turned around quickly, pulled the ball under his feet, and was about to shoot!

Mustafi was so frightened that he puffed out his chest and bumped into someone in the back!
With this collision, Jesus slipped instantly and fell fourteen yards in front of the door.

The football was in the pocket of goalkeeper Leno.

There was an uproar in the audience.

"Hey! He fouled!!"

The people in Manchester City became excited in an instant, and signaled to the referee one after another.

However, the referee hesitated for a moment, beckoned, and signaled Jesus on the ground to get up quickly.

This is not a penalty!
With a bang, the entire stadium became even more noisy, as if everyone was questioning the penalty.

Wenger on the sidelines secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Arsenal escaped.

Guardiola next to him complained excitedly to the fourth official, "This is the most critical penalty!"

However, the fourth official shook his head, only telling him to calm down quickly.

So, under the boos of many Manchester City fans, Arsenal took a goal kick.

When Fang Fang received the pass from his teammate, he thought it was a reasonable physical contact just now, not a penalty.

Jesus didn't flop either, it can only be said that he slipped his feet and didn't hold the body contact.

But the people in Manchester City felt a little dissatisfied, and the action of grabbing became bigger.

Fang Fang quickly kicked the ball out, not giving them a chance to get on the body!

But later,

Manchester City Silva still grabbed the opportunity from Saka. He forcibly stretched his feet behind him, and while kicking the ball, he also brought Saka down.

The referee did not blow his whistle.

Manchester City took advantage of this opportunity and quickly played Arsenal's counterattack!

However, Equation quickly followed Jing Duoan all the way, and returned to the front of his own restricted area.
When Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez couldn't get in from the wing and passed the ball back,

The equation just took a big step, on the passing line, and broke the football!
This steal is very critical, and instantly resolved Manchester City's counterattack.

Mahrez was anxious and rushed up immediately, trying to grab the ball from the side.

Equation leaned sideways very cleverly, and was knocked down to the ground recklessly by Mahrez behind him!
This time, the referee's whistle sounded.

Foul by Mahrez!

Fang Fang stood up and felt that some Manchester City players had a little emotion.

For Arsenal, this can be regarded as an opportunity.

he thought to himself.

Mahrez seems to be still talking to the referee through the air.

Fang Fang secretly glanced at the front field, and suddenly kicked a long pass!

This is a fast set ball!
The football flew over half of the pitch in an instant, like a tactical cruise missile, piercing through Manchester City's entire midfield defense!

The teenager Nketiah is sprinting quickly in Manchester City's half. His speed is not slow, and he predicted the football's landing point!

But he was a little hesitant, not knowing how to choose to stop the ball!

Suddenly, Manchester City's Laporte came out. He was interfered by Nketiah, jumped up to fight for the header, but accidentally sent the football to Lacazette's feet.

The audience suddenly became noisy! !

Lacazette accepted the gift, moved the football forward, and entered the penalty area from the side.

The defense Otamendi panicked, he couldn't keep up with the defense, so he quickly fell to the ground from the side and shoveled.

However, with this shovel, he only hit the person hard, not the football!

"Beep-"

The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and he drew out a red card, pointing to the penalty spot!
In the No.703 minute, Manchester City sent a red card! !
When Guardiola saw this scene, he was speechless for an instant, and he raised his hands helplessly, feeling that it was over!

Mahrez didn't interfere with the fast delivery of the set kick, and was still arguing with the referee; Laporte made another fatal mistake, and the header was ferried to Lacazette.
And Otamendi was thrown behind by Lacazette in two steps, choosing the most unwise shovel!

Guardiola feels a headache and doesn't know what to do in this game!
In this process, even if the people of Manchester City are a little more serious, they can avoid this penalty!

However, it just so happened that everyone made a mistake, as if everything had been arranged in the dark!
Wenger next to him shook his fist happily, but he suddenly found that Lacazette couldn't get up in the penalty area?
"Is this hurt??"

Soon, Arsenal's team doctors rushed onto the field. After dealing with Lacazette, they gestured to the coach on the sidelines for a substitution.

Wenger's heart sank, was Lacazette really injured?
However, when the team doctor helped Lacazette off the field, he told the head coach of the injury, saying that it should not be a big problem, but to be on the safe side, it is best not to play this game.

Wenger breathed a sigh of relief.

So, here comes the question, who should take the penalty kick on the field? ?

"Let the equation kick!!"

Wenger didn't think too much, and immediately yelled towards the field, fearing that the players could not hear clearly, Wenger yelled out the full name of the equation.

No one in Arsenal is a ball bully. Hearing the arrangement of the head coach, he stuffed the football into the arms of Equation.

Therefore, the eyes of the audience naturally focused on him alone.

Under the lights of the stadium, the fiery atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet.

No need to think about it, Equation can know that many fans are holding their breath in front of the screen.

His every move now will affect everyone's heart!

This goal is crucial, scored!Then they will be able to lead by one goal, and 11 people will beat the opponent's 10 people. This is a huge advantage!

It is very likely to advance directly to the semi-finals!
My heart involuntarily became tense.

Fang Fang exhaled, and slowly came to the penalty spot. The goalkeeper Ederson was already threatening to interfere with his attention.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Fang Fang ran up two steps, then paused, and tapped his feet lightly,
Just knocked out a spoon penalty!
The speed of the spoon penalty kick is very slow, and it will draw a small arc at the front door, but as long as the goalkeeper guesses the wrong direction, it will be fine.

And goalkeeper Ederson did move a step ahead, he guessed the wrong direction!

But suddenly, Edson didn't know where he borrowed the power from, and turned back into the goal, stretched out his hand, trying to take out the football!
Between Lightning and Flint!
Actually let the goalkeeper Ederson take out the football! !
I don't know if the football has entered the goal or not, and the audience suddenly vibrated! !
The goalkeeper Ederson reacted very quickly, and when he moved a step, he actually took out the football! !

Fang Fang stood where he was, feeling completely dazed!
isn't it?
Can this also be taken out? !
All the Gunners fans couldn't believe it, their eyes were full of shock!
Wenger, including on the sidelines, was also surprised with his hands covering his head.

This penalty is not scored, does Arsenal still have a chance to win the game?

But also at this time,

The referee first glanced at the linesman's position, then turned around and pointed to the center circle line, indicating that the goal is valid!

The linesman's observation was correct, and the moment before the goal was replayed on the big screen in the stadium, and the football had completely crossed the goal line!

Goalkeeper Ederson didn't save the team, his reflexes didn't surpass humans!
"Fuck, scared me to death!!!"

The equation was overjoyed immediately!He just said, how could this penalty not be scored!

This surprise and joy made Fang Fang feel like he had walked through the door of hell,
He was ecstatic with surprise, and ran towards the corner flag area crazily!I almost thought I had made a big mistake! !

"Fk! You almost killed us!!"

Xhaka also rushed over in surprise and joy, and gave the equation a hard push.

Fang Fang laughed and said nothing, trying to get away with it.

But the teammates couldn't spare him, they rushed over together, who made him play a trick with a penalty kick!
Saka also smiled, not forgetting to play tricks outside.

When the teammates dispersed, Fang Fang felt that his hair and ears were about to be pulled off, and his face was flushed.

"Moriguchi, don't show mercy at all!"

When they dispersed, Fang Fang had no choice but to laugh and curse, and could only rub his face.

The score has been rewritten!

Arsenal lead 1:0! !
Goalkeeper Ederson kicked the football hard in the goal and was frustrated that he couldn't save the team.

After the football game came out, Manchester City's momentum had fallen into a trough,
They tried to attack, but because of their numerical disadvantage, their attack was not as fast and accurate as before.

Under the active running of Equation and Xhaka and Iwobi, Manchester City's players were forced into a midfield fight.

Guardiola was not reconciled to losing the game, and replaced Aguero and Sane to strengthen the offense.

But the result of the game seems to have lost suspense
Finally, the referee's whistle sounded again, and the game was over!
The score is 1:0!

Arsenal advance to the FA Cup semi-finals!
The entire Wembley Stadium burst into cheers from the fans.

The fans seem to have seen Arsenal's successful rise this season!
The FA Cup has reached the semi-finals!
The UEFA Europa League has also entered the semi-finals!
Arsenal is very likely to win two championship trophies!
And in terms of probability, they have locked in the top four in the league in advance!
All Arsenal fans can finally get rid of the depression in their hearts!
They can finally shout out the phrase "Arsenal is invincible" openly!
Manchester City, ranked number one in the Premier League, has already lost in front of them. What other team are they invincible? ?

The cheers of the Arsenal fans were louder and louder, the game was over, but everyone was still unwilling to leave the field!
Fang Fang and his teammates hugged happily, and then applauded the fans in the stands!
Manchester City here,

Although I lost the game,

But Guardiola did not lose his grace and shook Wenger's hand in a friendly way.

He turned around and walked onto the field, comforting and hugging every disciple who came over.
