Chapter 109: Fierce transition between offense and defense!

In the footage, the expressions of the Manchester City players were very solemn.

They had just lost the league championship and had been robbed of multiple championships by Arsenal many times before. For this reason, the psychological pressure at this time was particularly high.

They don't want to be stepped on by Arsenal all the time. If they can't make a comeback, they will be extremely uncomfortable.

The same is true for Guardiola.

If he doesn't win a championship for two years, it will be difficult for him to explain to the club.

Although this is true for all Premier League teams based on Arsenal's reasons, as an ambitious and ambitious head coach, he does not want to give up the championship to others.

At the same time, he also feels extremely troubled by the current Arsenal.

As the founder of the Dream III Dynasty, he has been in the European arena for a period of time. At that time, wherever he led Barcelona, ​​there was no discomfort.

But now that the statuses have been reversed, he feels the same feeling of suffocation he felt at the beginning.

Facing such a complete Arsenal, this almost historical level of intensity, a dynasty-level team, he really has no confidence that he can win.

When facing Arsenal, not only the players, but also Odiola as the head coach was under tremendous pressure.

However, the opponent is already standing in front of them, and all they can do is face it and strive to win.

In this game, Manchester City's elite came in and out in order to win the game.

He believes that Manchester City's offense is still effective against Arsenal. As long as it can shake Arsenal's defense and interfere with their efforts in the second half, Manchester City can win the game.

The most important thing is that the rhythm cannot be followed by Arsenal.

Even if you can't control the rhythm, you still have to disrupt it.

Create as much chaos as possible, and then win in the chaos.

Under the fierce cheers at the scene, players from both sides also began to enter the stadium.

Having just won the league championship, the Arsenal players were in high spirits and looked in high spirits.

Although the expressions of Manchester City players are more serious, they also contain fighting spirit.

The captains of both sides, Lucky and David Silva, guessed the sides.

City were lucky enough to win the pick and claim the kick-off.

For Manchester City, from the first moment of the game, they have to try to interfere with Arsenal's rhythm, which is a good start for this.

After the captains of both sides shook hands with the referees, they came to their respective halves.

The cheers from the fans on both sides became even more intense.

Under the fierce cheers, the enthusiasm of the players was instantly aroused, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

In front of everyone's attention, the opening whistle sounded and Jesus kicked off the ball.

"This is the FA Cup final of the 2019/2020 season, Arsenal VS Manchester City. This game is explained for you at Wembley Stadium."

"Both sides are bound to win this game. Will Arsenal continue their excellent form and continue to fight for their sixth crown, or can Manchester City curb Arsenal's title competition and win a championship for themselves?"

In the words of the commentator, the game officially begins.

When the game started, Manchester City quickly launched an attack.

Their offensive intentions are very obvious, constantly sending the ball towards the wing, and have Mahrez and Sterling to attack the defense line.

However, Sterling is still the same. When he faced Lucky, his overall performance was suppressed a lot.

Even Sterling, as a "lone ranger", has become very willing to pass the ball.

This is also a rare scene. There is also a joke in the Premier League that Kai taught Sterling how to pass the ball.

Sterling can't get through here, but he can continue to attract Lucky's attention.

On the other side, Mahrez used constant passes and forward interspersed runs to threaten Arsenal's defense again and again.

However, this threat is also limited. After all, they cannot really approach the penalty area. Arsenal's defenders are not idlers.

But when Manchester City entered the penalty area, their style of play also suddenly changed.

The ball was distributed directly to the center, and David Silva took a long shot from the penalty area.

This shot was powerful and heavy, going straight to the lower left corner.

Martinez fought hard to save and finally pushed the ball over the baseline.

"Beautiful! David Silva threatened Arsenal's goal with a wonderful long-range shot in the opening stage, and they also successfully got a corner kick."

"After Manchester City approached the penalty area, their tactics changed somewhat. They were no longer keen on passing the ball, but were more decisive in shooting!"

"I think this change is good, not just passing the ball in, but hitting the goal immediately when there is a chance to create a threat."

Andy Gray gave a nod to the tactical changes made by Manchester City.

Even Kompany praised: "When facing Arsenal's chain defense, overly delicate passing in the frontcourt will only affect the speed of advancement. It is better to shoot more decisively!"

"It's just a threatening shot!"

Henry said something unhappy.

At this time, the Arsenal players on the field had retreated and were ready to fight for the top.

On the one hand, Lucky pays attention to his defensive target, and at the same time, he stares at the opponent's free throw shooter.

The moment the opponent's free throw shooter took a free throw, Lucky suddenly started and rushed towards the front point.

This is a half-high ball, passed directly to Mahrez.

Mahrez also turned sideways and wanted to hit the goal directly, but when he turned sideways, a figure suddenly passed by in front of his eyes. There was some collision between the two sides. Mahrez was unable to stabilize his center of gravity and was squeezed away.

And Lucai took advantage of the situation to reach the first landing point, raised his knees and bounced the ball out with his feet.

This clearance was more like a pass, and the ball came to Eriksen's feet accurately.

At the same time, the Arsenal players also ran with their heads down and launched a fierce counterattack.

The Manchester City players also instantly turned around and retreated to defend.

This moment is the moment of speed.

The ball was passed to Mane's feet, and Arsenal used Mane's speed to quickly advance the ball while trying to shift the focus of defense to the wing.

But Manchester City did not move forward, but retreated one after another to hold their position in the middle.

At the same time, Kyle Walker also retreated to catch up and restrict. Mane gave the ball to Giroud. Giroud tried to shoot despite the pressure. The ball was firmly held in the arms of Manchester City goalkeeper Moraes.

But in an instant, Moraes threw away the ball again.

The ball was thrown to the midfield position and another attack quickly counterattacked.

"Following Arsenal's counterattack, Manchester City also began to advance quickly. The players who had just completed the 100-meter sprint need to turn back again!"

From the stands, the fans could clearly see that the Arsenal players who had not yet reached the offensive position had turned around and started running back.

However, Lucky did not retreat in a straight line, but rushed diagonally towards Sterling.

Sure enough, when De Bruyne passed the ball to Sterling, Lucky suddenly quickened his pace, rushed into the path of the ball with a sliding tackle, and finally intercepted the ball from the sideline with his feet.

"Nice interception judgment!"

Andy Gray exclaimed loudly.

Every time I see Lucky's interception and steal, it is always so pleasing to the eye and natural and comfortable.

Lucky's defense is not passive like others, but takes the initiative to press and drive away the opponent's passes, eventually leading to interceptions and steals.

The same was true for this interception. After his teammates blocked De Bruyne's forward passing channel, he could only pass it to Sterling.

Lucky seized this opportunity and made a decisive sliding tackle to complete the interception.

Not only did it destroy Manchester City's offense, but it also bought valuable time for Arsenal's retreat.

With Lucky's interception, Arsenal players did not have to run with all their strength, but they also quickly retreated to their positions.

De Bruyne frowned.

He felt very dissatisfied with the pass just now. On the one hand, the passing line was blocked by the opponent, and on the other hand, Lucky guessed his intention.

Manchester City lost a chance to counterattack, but they still controlled the ball, which is good news for them.

The game has just begun, and both sides have launched a series of exciting offensive and defensive battles.

It can be seen from this attack that both sides have a great need to compete for the rhythm of the game. For this reason, the game will inevitably become more intense.

This can also be a feast for the eyes of fans watching this game.
