Chapter 1396 Long Pass Transfer

Manchester City intends to dominate the tempo, and even if they are unable to do so, they will never let Arsenal gain advantage in the midfield.

For this reason, their performance on offense was extremely intense.

From pass to pass, the offensive efficiency is getting faster and faster, and the transmission speed is also dizzying for the fans at the scene.

After Arsenal's brief press, they quickly stopped and began to retreat and defend.

Manchester City was obviously prepared. Under their high pressure, although they staggered a bit, they pushed the ball forward very solidly.

Arsenal did not dare to defend too far forward. Once they were beaten behind, they would play very uncomfortable.

For this reason, they took the initiative to retreat and shrink the defense line, further squeezing Manchester City's dangerous shooting areas, and at the same time slowly looking for opportunities to disrupt the opponent's offense.

Arsenal are still very patient.

Lucky is also in the process of defending, constantly moving towards the middle area. On the one hand, he limits Arsenal's advancement on the central axis, and on the other hand, he can also support his teammates.

At the same time, Lucky was also keeping an eye on his own area, and he was observing Sterling's every move.

However, Sterling was too cautious when facing Lucky's defense, so he often lacked bold dribbling. If he could play more decisively, Lucky might have to give up the central axis area and return to the main line. Defend your own area.

But obviously, Sterling did not put enough pressure on Lucky.

And the commentators also saw this problem.

"Sterling's kick was too soft!"

Kompany frowned and was the first to question.

Richard on the side also nodded and said: "When Sterling faces Arsenal, especially Kai, his performance will be greatly reduced, and the same is true in this game."

"After all, it is Sterling's nightmare. In the long-term competition, Sterling has some kind of psychological barrier towards Kai, which also prevents him from breaking through Kai's defense."

Andy Gray also nodded and said.

Even Henry said: "As a forward, when he is afraid of the opponent's defensive players, this in itself shows that either the opponent's ability is too strong, or the opponent will do something wrong. And from Kai's technical perspective, Obviously the former!"

Henry said with a smile.

Regarding Lucky's performance at Arsenal, Henry maintains an attitude of absolute appreciation.

Facing Lucky's defense, any forward will have a headache. Even when Henry faced Lucky at his peak, he couldn't find a good way to break through except speed.

Lucky's grasp of defensive timing and steals is too accurate. This also leads to the fact that once the speed slows down and a close one-on-one situation is formed, Henry cannot guarantee whether he will lose the ball.

And this is also reflected in Sterling.

The game passed minute by minute, and Manchester City was still attacking, but could not find a chance to score.

This is also extremely uncomfortable for them.

Faced with Arsenal driving around the penalty area, it was difficult for them to break into it.

Jesus runs very hard and often pulls back to create gaps for them, but when their forwards advance forward, Arsenal can quickly make up the defense.

This is very uncomfortable.

Guardiola on the sidelines kept looking at the time, his expression slightly anxious. He knew very well that compared to Arsenal, Manchester City is a team that is more offensive and they need more opportunities. Come and get the shot moment.

But the current situation is that driven by Arsenal, it is difficult for them to get a good shooting opportunity.

After losing these opportunities, as time goes by, the situation will slowly tilt towards Arsenal.

You can't delay too long, you must be the first to score.

Guardiola shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Press up! Go forward more decisively and create more set pieces!"

The Manchester City players heard this and they also knew the coach's intentions, but it was very difficult to implement them.

David Silva kept moving the ball to both sides, but his position was close to the left and he didn't want to go to the right.

But in the current situation, he must shoulder more pressure.

When David Silva came to the right, Lucky was standing not far from him.

Seeing the look in Lucky's eyes, David Silva became a little nervous.

At this time, Eriksen was approaching. Facing the pressing, David Silva passed the ball towards Sterling and then ran forward decisively, trying to catch the ball in the gap.

But what surprised him was that Eriksen advanced instead of retreating. He actually followed up and didn't give them any chance to catch the ball.

The passing line was blocked, Sterling turned around with the ball, and he immediately saw Lucky in front of him.

After subconsciously protecting the ball, Sterling wanted to pass back.

But Lucky was approaching very quickly, and at the same time, other Arsenal teammates also instantly blocked the passing line in this area.

Sterling is isolated!

At this time, he could only use his own ability to pick out the ball.

But the next second, he felt a huge force coming from his shoulders. Under this force, his body began to tilt forward uncontrollably.

The ball protection under his feet is no longer stable.

When he stepped towards the ball, he used too much force on his foot and the ball left his control.

"Oops!"

Sterling sighed secretly.

When he was about to start, he suddenly felt a pulling force behind him, which hindered his speed of starting.

Lucky, on the other hand, secretly grabbed the corner of Sterling's clothes, pulled back to prevent the opponent from advancing, and at the same time took over control of the ball.

"Kay got the ball!"

Andy Gray exclaimed.

At this time, Lucky strode directly to the ball and attacked forward.

Eriksen, on the other hand, was filling in for Lucky. The counterattack was imminent and could not wait for Eriksen to move forward.

The opportunity to attack was also fleeting. For this reason, Lucai's forward thrust was very determined.

At the same time, seeing Lucky activated, the Arsenal players instantly switched from defense to offense.

Lucky looked up and saw that there were people beside Mane and Giroud, while Saka, who was far away, was pushing forward.

Lucky adjusted his pace and passed the ball directly to the attacker.

The ball drew an arc diagonally and flew in front of Saka.

The ball landed just right. Saka easily adjusted his pace and then used the arch of his foot to unload the ball.

When unloading the ball, he also made an inward movement, shook the Manchester City full-back, and then dunked his foot again, pulling half of his body out.

This position is enough to complete Saka's cross.

Saka's decisive cross.

The ball was hit hard and slowed down slightly with a hint of spin.

For this reason, when Giroud dives into position, there is even a moment of adjustment time.

Giroud used his broad back to block the Manchester City defender, and at the same time used the arch of his foot to guide the ball towards the goal.

Even Manchester City goalkeeper Moraes was unable to make any effective save when faced with such a close shot.

The ball was accurately inserted into the small right corner.

In the 28th minute, Arsenal relied on the transition between offense and defense and a wonderful steal by Lucai + the initiation of the attack, and finally got the leading goal.

This goal came very suddenly. As the defender, Arsenal actually seized the opportunity to counterattack. In one of the few shooting opportunities, they took the lead in breaking the goal and scoring.

This goal also gave Arsenal the initiative in the game.

When they saw this goal, the Arsenal fans at the scene burst into fierce cheers, while the Manchester City fans held their heads in disbelief.

Obviously they were the attacking side and they obviously had more chances, but Arsenal scored first.

They cannot accept this reality!

On the Sky Sports commentary desk, the two commentators were in high spirits.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

"Wonderful counterattack!! Three consecutive shots scored against Manchester City's goal. Kai's long pass transfer was so wonderful. He not only disrupted Manchester City's defense, but also made Arsenal's offense smoother."

Richard: "Saka's stoppage is also very interesting. The moment he unloaded the ball, he shook continuously to open up his position, and then passed the ball. Giroud easily caught the ball and scored! Manchester City did not expect that as the offensive side, they were the first to concede. The ball is gone.”

Not only the two commentators, but Henry on the side also clapped happily.

The only person with a bad expression at the scene was probably Kompany, the former captain of Manchester City.
