My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 134 Rainstorm Prelude
On September [-]th, it rained heavily in London.

The Emirates Stadium ushered in the second home of the Premier League this season. The magnificent arena was shrouded in rain, like a ship in the fog.

Arthur was wearing a big umbrella, and Donna hid tightly under his umbrella. The two moved into the stadium with difficulty along with the crowd of fans.

The rain hit their bodies with the autumn wind, soaking their red and white scarves.

Donna was so blinded by the rain that she could hear fans yelling and cursing all around her. Apart from cursing the weather, they were cursing Arsenal for their poor performance.

Of course, he also cursed Chen Yao.

Donna wiped her face with the scarf and shouted into Arthur's ear, "Do you think our friend can win this game?"

Arthur yelled, "We're gonna fucking win!"

A fan nearby yelled: "Must, I will support Arsenal as long as I go in, even if our coach is an idiot!"

……

At the press conference before the fourth round, Chen Yao was very calm.

The reporter asked him: "Mr. Coach, you have not won three rounds. It is reported that the senior management of Arsenal is in contact with other coaches. Will this have any impact on your game?"

"No." Chen Yao's face was calm. "We will stick to our football style and fight with the strategies we all agree on. I don't care about anything that happens off the field, I only care about the game."

When the players from both sides entered the field, the rain was a little lighter, which made Roberto Mancini feel lucky. If the rain was heavy, he felt that it would have a greater impact on Manchester City.

Manchester City's league ranking at this time is No.4. They won two games and one draw in the first three rounds, scoring seven points.

Arsenal's league ranking is No. 18, with two losses and one draw, and one point.

In Mancini's plan, the game started with one point, but now he feels that three points are necessary.

They just beat Arsenal half a month ago, and since then, Arsenal haven't won.

The Italian coach felt that his melancholy seemed optimistic in front of Chen Yao. A head coach who had already been dismissed from the field must be suffering in his heart.

However, Chen Yao's performance surprised Mancini. Judging from the press conference before the game, the coach was not worried about the upcoming game at all.

But now, Chen Yao, who was standing on the sidelines, still insisted on his usual dressing habits, wearing formal clothes.

The rain wet his hair and wet his shirt, he didn't care, his face was normal.

……

Sky Sports is very concerned about this focus game. Every season, apart from the teams competing for the championship, the most interesting thing is the former giants who are falling rapidly. They are often full of topics.

The ace commentator Martin Taylor partnered with Alan Smith to explain the game. When the camera scanned Chen Yao's calm face, Martin Taylor couldn't help saying: "We all know the pressure that Coach Chen Yao is facing. It seems that he is the only one in the Premier League who doesn't know. I'm on the verge of dismissing class."

"This means two possibilities. The first is that coach Chen Yao has been crushed by the pressure, and he has completely accepted the fate of failure." Alan Smith said.

"What about the second possibility?"

"The second is that he is going all out. He doesn't care about the disturbances outside the field. He focuses on this game, and his only purpose is to win the game in front of him."

"Which possibility do you think is more likely?" "I don't know." Alan Smith smiled, "But if it's the second possibility—then we all underestimated this coach."

……

Arsenal's starting lineup is different from the past.

When he got the opponent's starting list, Mancini felt a little surprised that things were beyond expectations, but he stabilized his mind and told the players before the game that everything was business as usual.

Manchester City's starting lineup is 4-2-3-1, goalkeeper Joe Hart, four defenders are Clichy, Nastasic, Kolo Toure, Zabaleta.Double defensive midfielder Gareth Barry partnered Yaya Toure with a front four of David Silva, Samir Nasri, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero .

Manchester City's paper lineup is the top of the Premier League.

Chen Yao's starting lineup for Arsenal was also 4-2-3-1 initially, but there were a lot of changes in personnel.

Goalkeeper Szczesny, four defenders Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Sagna, double midfielders Arteta and Jorginho, three attacking midfielders are Anthony Gerry Ziman, Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott, single arrow Jamie Vardy.

"I'm a little surprised." Alan Smith said, "General teams will seek stability in the lineup, but coach Chen Yao has replaced two new faces, Griezmann and Vardy."

"They all joined at the buzzer on the last day of the transfer window. If you add Santi Cazorla, Arsenal's front four will have three new players." Martin Taylor said.

"Yes Martin, we can see coach Chen Yao's will to reshape the team. The fact that Giroud, who had performed poorly in the first two games, was taken off the starting line also shows his determination. But I am not sure whether this can have immediate results. Effect."

"Let's watch the game." Martin Taylor raised his voice. "Arsenal have started their pressing—"

After the kick-off, Manchester City tentatively launched an attack into Arsenal's half, with David Silva and Samir Nasri carrying the ball a considerable distance respectively.

On the outside of the penalty area, Arsenal's two-line defense suddenly tightened. Jorginho entangled David Silva, and Cazorla, who retreated to help the defense, broke the ball at Silva's feet.

Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack. Jamie Vardy stabbed into Manchester City's penalty area like a sharp knife. Cazorla advanced to the middle circle and picked a half-high ball to Vardy, but he did not stop the ball. Te took the ball off.

"Jamie Vardy is a striker from Fleetwood, he was the National League Golden Boot last season." Martin Taylor said.

"His touch showed the level of the National League." Alan Smith was confused. "Does Coach Chen Yao want to use the National League Golden Boot to replace the Premier League Golden Boot?"

Joe Hart waved vigorously, motioning for the full-backs to open wide.He was about to make a big kick, and during the run-up, Joe Hart remembered that Mancini had told him that if he could control the ball, it was better to control the ball.

The rain was pattering on Joe Hart's body. He felt that such heavy rain had somewhat affected his teammates' ability to grab the first point. Looking forward from his position, the misty rain and fog made it difficult for him to identify the positions of his teammates in the distance.

Joe Hart decided to pass a short pass to his teammate. Before he could kick his feet, he saw a red and white figure rushing towards him through the rain.

Jamie Vardy.

He remembered the first task assigned to him by Chen Yao. When the opponent's goalkeeper held the ball, he stepped forward to press the goalkeeper.

Chen Yao kept gesticulating on the sidelines, and the red and white figures who were supposed to retreat halfway across the center circle one after another. For a moment, it was as if Arsenal were attacking.

Joe Hart looked at Vardy who was getting closer, and hurriedly kicked his feet.

Vardy's movement blocked his right side, and he could only drive the ball to the left, where Kolo Toure was waiting to receive the ball.
