Wembley Stadium.

The lineups of both sides can be said to be full of elites. In order to win this English League Cup, both teams tried their best.

Especially for Manchester City, their game is not only for the championship, but also to cut off Arsenal's winning streak, which has affected their morale to a certain extent.

Under the camera, the expressions of the players on both sides were extremely serious.

Players such as De Bruyne, Lucky, Dembele, Aguero, and Aubameyang are given special attention, and they have a lot of shots.

Obviously, these are players who have performed well in recent games.

"This game can be regarded as the top confrontation in the Premier League. Whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, they have extremely strong combat effectiveness in the league. In the EFL Cup, the two teams also passed the test and finally met in the final, and they will What kind of game will it bring us?”

Along with the words of commentator Paul Merson, the referee Jonathan Moss from the Premier League blew the whistle to start the game.

"The game begins! The game begins! This is the 2018/2019 EFL Cup final. We will witness a strong dialogue between Arsenal and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. The birth of the champion will be confirmed after 90 minutes."

The moment the whistle blew, Manchester City took the lead.

As Manchester City's core player, De Bruyne dominates the ball from the moment the ball kicks off, constantly passing and organizing work.

De Bruyne is the most powerful attacking midfielder in the Premier League. Even Lucky cannot compete with De Bruyne in this regard.

Lucky's performance is more in defense and versatility. With his offensive attributes alone, he is really no match for De Bruyne.

For this reason, Lucky's position in this game is also slightly behind.

This was in response to Manchester City's crazy firepower.

But even so, Manchester City gave Arsenal a big gift as soon as the game started.

In several consecutive vertical passes, Manchester City continued to test Arsenal's defense. Then De Bruyne seized an opportunity and sent the ball to Sterling with a no-look pass, and Sterling Lin succeeded in facing the ball and swept the pass to the middle. Aguero completed the grab, but the ball was slightly wide of the goal.

"Manchester City successfully completed a dangerous shot on the first attack."

Paul Mawson shouted.

"Manchester City's line of fire is starting to work!" Dixon also said with great anticipation.

The Manchester City fans at the scene cheered like a mountain and a tsunami. Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people, the entire stadium was shaken.

"Well done!"

"It's time to retreat and defend!"

After the first attack attempt, the morale of the Manchester City players was also greatly boosted. They all yelled and retreated, their voices full of excitement.

The Arsenal players frowned slightly.

Although I had thought about this issue before the game, the firepower displayed by Manchester City was still beyond imagination.

Arsenal goal kick.

Because Manchester City retreated too quickly, there was no long pass, but it was sent to the full-back.

The full-back passes to the winger, who crosses the ball.

The ball came to Lucky's feet again.

After taking control of the ball, Manchester City players launched a fierce high-position press.

In today's football, defense is not only reflected in the backcourt, but also requires sufficient pressure in the frontcourt to create more offensive opportunities.

But Arsenal are also very comfortable with this tactic, so they know exactly how to pass it on.

When ensuring enough safety, pass some safety balls and mix in some tentative vertical passes to penetrate.

Throughout the testing process, Manchester City's defense was relatively stable and did not become panicked by Arsenal's sheep attack.

For more than half a season, Manchester City has been strengthening their overall linkage, and now the results are remarkable.

"It can't be penetrated!"

"No chance on the wing!"

“They were very pressing in the half court.”

Arsenal players are also constantly feeding back information during the transmission process.

Lucky accepts this information, integrates it and summarizes it.

In the end, Lucky decided to pass the ball to Dembe.

After Dembe came to get the ball, he became eager to try.

"Dembe came to hold the ball and he started trying to attack from the wing!"

"In the past few games, Dembe has created many opportunities for Arsenal's offense. His own ability combined with Arsenal's overall movement can create an extremely threatening threat for their offense."

"But in this game, can Dembe perform as he should when facing Kyle Walker?"

Kyle Walker is very fast, and as a full-back, his performance on both the offensive and defensive ends is also extremely amazing.

Especially after joining Manchester City, he was cultivated by Guardiola, and his condition and ability have also been greatly improved.

Dembe is also very aware of this.

Dembe came to test carefully. He has enough confidence in his skills, but it does not mean that he will underestimate Kyle Walker.

After all, any opponent who can stand in front of them has extremely strong abilities.

In the five major leagues, it is difficult to find a player who can swim, and Kyle Walker is not such a player.

Dembe stepped into the ball with his right foot, slowed down the pace and tested it.

He waited for Kyle Walker to step forward and stretch his feet.

But unlike other full-backs, even with extremely fast speed, Kyle Walker still blocked the path of cutting inside, maintaining a certain distance and not making any pressing movements.

This made Dembeilai a little anxious.

Seeing that the opponent's players were about to provide support, Dembe made a decision and immediately decided to take the bottom.

Dembe comes to action and he's fast.

But Kyle Walker also reacted quickly and quickly caught up with Dembe.

When Dembe came to complete the pass, Kyle Walker also blocked the path of the inward cut.

"Don't even think about it!"

Kyle Walker felt furious.

Dembe had no choice but to cross the ball.

The result was obvious as the ball hit Kyle Walker's ankle and flew out of the baseline.

Dembe was unable to successfully complete the cross.

But Arsenal also got a corner kick opportunity.

"Come up! Come up!"

Lucky called on his teammates to fight for the top.

And he himself also rushed into the penalty area.

As soon as Lucky entered the penalty area, he encountered strict defense from Manchester City players.

Facing a player like Lucky who has strong aerial combat capabilities, Manchester City will never relax.

At this time, Wilshere had come to the corner kick area and was preparing to take a free throw.

After he raised his hand to signal, he immediately made a free throw.

The ball flew towards the center.

Giroud was the first to rush towards the ball's landing point, while Lucky was also outflanking towards the back point.

Giroud was interfered by the opponent during takeoff and failed to top the ball.

But Lucky, who was in the back position, forced Zinchenko to take off, and he completed the header in an awkward position in the air.

Because his movement was restricted, Lucky was unable to exert force, and Manchester City goalkeeper Moraes easily held the ball in his arms.

"Ah~~~ Kai headed the ball, but failed to deliver it. Manchester City goalkeeper Moraes collected the ball in his arms, and Manchester City counterattacked!

! "

Suddenly, the Manchester City goalkeeper quickly rushed out of the small penalty area and stepped forward with a big kick.

The ball flew forward quickly and was accurately stopped by Aguero.

At the same time, Sterling and Silva also quickly followed up.

Fernandinho from the back provided forward support, and Manchester City's counterattack was in good form.

"Manchester City's counterattack is about to begin, but Arsenal has not completely retreated, and Kai has no time to chase back. How should Arsenal make a decision? Aguero started passing the ball, Manchester City!

!

!

"

Paul Mawson's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

At this critical moment, he saw Jimenez, as the central defender, take the initiative to rush forward. Before Sterling stopped the ball, he shoveled the ball away with a sliding tackle.

“Jimenez!

!

! Decisive tackle!

Wonderful judgment!

! "

"He helped Arsenal buy valuable time to retreat!

"

Taking advantage of this time, Arsenal players also quickly retreated to cover the defense. \u003cdiv id=”device” style=”background-color: # c0d1nt-size: 1rder-radius: 10px;padding: 0 10px;color: # 957575;text-decoration: underline;font-family: fangsong ;”\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
