My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 16 Yes, I’m sure!

Mancini can be said to be full of confidence now.

Not the same as Arsenal.

Since the start of the season, Manchester City has won three consecutive games.

These include classics such as a stunning victory over Liverpool in the second round of the league and a 6-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the third round of the league.

Now Manchester City has indeed begun to gradually get rid of the reputation of "upstart" - because they won the championship!

Premier League champions last season.

With Aguero's goal in the last round of last season at the 93rd minute and 20 seconds of the game, Manchester City overtook Manchester United and won the Premier League championship trophy historically.

With this trophy alone, Mancini is enough to leave a mark in the history of Manchester City.

The opponent in the fourth round of the league is Arsenal at home.

Mancini actually does not underestimate the enemy.

After Arsenal's game squad comes out.

He immediately conducted some research with members of the coaching staff.

Arsenal's most likely starting XI was quickly locked down.

As for Li Mo
  In Mancini's eyes, he is just a small player who has just entered the game squad. He is most likely to watch a Premier League focus game from the bench.
  The Etihad Stadium is going crazy right now.

The game hasn't started yet.

All kinds of singing, roaring, applause, and cheers.

Continuously.

Plus the close proximity between the stands and the pitch at an English stadium.

The people inside felt as if their chests were shaken by the sound.

"How? Shocked?"

Damian Martinez, the substitute goalkeeper from Argentina, put his arm around Li Mo's shoulders and smiled.

Li Mo shook his head slightly: "It's okay."

It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of scene before.

After all, as a youth training player who joined AC Milan at the age of seven.

It is commonplace for him to be a caddy at San Siro.

The players on the bench walked towards the bench.

The starting players are walking onto the field.

The two head coaches shook hands with each other and then walked to the coaching bench.

Mancini had a confident smile on his face.

Because Arsenal's starting lineup was exactly as he predicted.

Compared with the previous three league rounds, Arsenal only made adjustments in the starting lineup in this game.

Gervinho's position was replaced by new aid Podolski.

Podolski went to play on the left, Walcott moved to the right, and Giroud was at the front.

These changes in Arsenal were expected by Mancini.

At the same time, Manchester City also made targeted deployments.

Mancini is not worried about Arsenal's attack.

In his opinion.

The key to Manchester City's success in winning this game.

It's whether the striker combination of Dzeko and Aguero can successfully score Arsenal's goal!

In the media box.

Reporters basically continued the same old tune that most media had when previewing this game.

Basically everyone thinks that if Arsenal can get a draw at the Etihad Stadium, it will be a good result.

The game seemed to go pretty much as expected.

The first half of the game was both offensive and defensive.

Arsenal had some chances, but not many.

Manchester City's offensive was overwhelming, but Dzeko and Aguero didn't seem to be wearing shooting boots today.

The first half of the game ended goalless.

The second half.

The main players have returned to the locker room one after another, and the head coach must seize these fifteen minutes to make some tactical adjustments and boost morale.

The substitute players took the time to warm up under the leadership of the assistant coach.

Be ready to show up at a moment's notice.

Just came back from the second half of the game.

The fifty-third minute of the game.

Manchester City scored.

Aguero made consecutive stops in the penalty area and passed Koscielny away. Facing Mannone, he cleverly hit the upper corner and sent the ball into the goal.

Aguero's goal detonated the Etihad Stadium.

The entire stadium is like an erupting volcano.

Manchester City's players, coaching bench, bench, and stands were all celebrating their goal.     In such an environment.

Wenger stood on the sidelines, frowning and staring at the court, then looked at the bench.

Then his eyes stayed on Li Mo.

"Lee! Go warm up!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately put on his vest and ran to the warm-up area on the sidelines.

The TV broadcast cameras also immediately focused on Li Mo.

"Li Mo is going to warm up!"

Zhang Jun, the Xinglang sports commentator who was explaining the game, was shocked and said excitedly.

"Arsenal has lost the ball now, and Manchester City may shrink and counterattack. What Arsenal need now is a striker who can score goals. In this case, Wenger chose to send Li Mo, which shows that Arsenal's coaching staff trusts Li Mo’s!”

The Dragon Kingdom fans in the live broadcast room were also excited.

"Sending Li Mo out when we are lagging behind?"

"He is only seventeen years old."

"How much Wenger loves Shota."

"Is he really that powerful?"

a time.

The camera locked on Li Mo who was warming up seriously.

In the media box.

Many English reporters were a little surprised.

"I thought 'Van Persie's replacement' was a joke, but now Mr Wenger might be serious about it."

"Sending a young player who has never played in a professional league when we are behind?"

"What exactly did Li Mo do to conquer Arsenal's coaching staff?"

Journalists in England complained.

Fans in the stands.

When we came to the Arsenal fans' stand area in the away game, there were only a few sporadic cheers.

Most Arsenal fans were silent.

They are not familiar with Li Mo, but they also know that now the team needs to score goals. In this case, Li Mo is sent to play. What can he bring?
  "Haha, what's the use of sending a seventeen-year-old kid up here? What's the use? Our season is wasted again! This is another disappointing season!"

DT complained loudly in the stands.

His complaints made many Arsenal fans frown.

However, no one spoke out to contradict him.

Because Arsenal fans have not been disappointed for a year or two.

It's been several seasons in a row.

Say it sincerely.

Arsenal's investment still matches their results. Even compared to their investment, the results achieved by Arsenal led by Wenger are still very good.

but
  Who allowed Wenger to lead Arsenal to the top?
  Arsenal fans who have seen the peak of Arsenal will probably be tired and disappointed with the current situation of "fighting for four Champions Leagues every year, and facing Bayern and Barcelona in the top 16 of the Champions League"?
  Arsenal fans were silent.

Manchester City fans were not polite at all.

After they saw that it was Li Mo who came out to warm up.

Soon he was singing.

"Oh oh oh oh, let's see who it is? Which of you is Van Persie's replacement?"

"Oh oh oh oh! Van Persie's replacement is here!"

Simple melody with simple lyrics.

It's quite catchy.

Wenger on the sidelines was heard frowning.

His assistant Bald said helplessly: "Arsena, this is really not a good time to make his debut."

Wenger certainly knows this.

away.

behind.

Media reports put Li Mo at the center of public opinion.

Targeted taunts from rival fans.

and so on.

Even a mature player may not be able to bear it.

What's more, a seventeen-year-old player?

"Do you really think he can really bear it mentally for Lee to play in this situation?"

Balder asked.

Wenger was silent for a moment. When he turned to look at Li Mo, who was warming up very calmly in the warm-up area, and his expression never seemed to change, he somehow felt more confident in Li Mo.

"yes, I'm sure."

Wenger said.
