Strong Waist

Chapter 1397 United as one

Arsenal scored first, which will put a lot of pressure on Manchester City.

They themselves are the attacking side, but the opponent scored the goal first. The situation on the entire stadium will change greatly, which is not even conducive to their control of the game.

Guardiola on the sidelines also frowned.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he shook his head again and again. It was obvious that Guardiola felt mentally and physically exhausted when facing Arsenal like this.

"Guardiola is shaking his head. I don't know if he is dissatisfied with the performance of the Manchester City players or because he feels powerless against Arsenal!"

"But no matter what the situation is, for Manchester City currently, they are in an extremely unoptimistic situation."

Let Arsenal score first, and the probability of Arsenal winning the game will be greatly increased.

So far, Arsenal has never been in a situation where the score has been overturned by someone who has continuously pulled back the score when they were leading.

For this reason, after Arsenal took the lead, Manchester City's psychological pressure became even greater.

After all, if they lose the FA Cup championship, they will have another championship-less season this season.

Two consecutive championship-less seasons will have a huge psychological impact on Guardiola and the Manchester City players. For the entire Premier League, they must also acknowledge the emergence of a dominant team.

On the other hand, for Arsenal, after this goal, they will be extremely close to their sixth championship.

By winning the FA Cup, Arsenal completed the feat of 11 titles in two seasons, and the Champions League is waiting for them.

Win the Grand Slam in two seasons and win all the championship trophies you can win.

Arsenal is a historic team and they dominate Europe.

This will become irrefutable.

Many fans have even begun to place Arsenal in the historical level and compare it with those once glorious teams.

After all, it is difficult to find an opponent in the current football world.

Manchester City is a good team, but their growth is not enough to deal with Arsenal at the moment.

"Steady! Steady! Don't lose confidence!"

David Silva comforted the players time and time again.

He also knows how much psychological pressure the Manchester City players will feel after this goal, and their frustration will also increase greatly.

But the game is not over yet. If morale suffers a devastating blow at this time, the next game will be impossible to play.

It can be said that the Manchester City players are holding a string at this time. They are in the middle line between denial and affirmation, and are constantly approaching the side of denying themselves.

They desperately want to forget about this and concentrate on the game.

For this reason, they can only focus on their feet.

After Arsenal scored, they completed their celebrations.

Giroud raised his arms high to meet the fierce cheers.

As the undoubted Golden Boot winner of the Premier League this season, his performance in the Cup and Champions League is equally exciting.

It can be said that Giroud won everything when he joined Arsenal.

He is currently the most watched and popular center, and many other wealthy teams are also eyeing this French center.

Once Giroud has the idea of ​​​​leaving, he will be worth a lot of money.

After returning to their own half, the Arsenal players looked extremely excited.

This goal was of great help to the overall morale improvement.

And they can actually see the champion's footsteps, which is more motivation than anything.

On the other hand, the expressions of the Manchester City players were even more fierce.

When the game restarted, Manchester City's style of play became arrogant.

Perhaps due to the loss of the ball and psychological pressure, they made great moves during pressing and confrontation, and sometimes even made some irrational pushing actions.

"Manchester City's mentality is starting to get impatient!"

After Andy Gray finished speaking, he turned to look at Kompany aside and found that the other person was also frowning.

Obviously, in this situation, Kompany also believes that the current situation is at a huge disadvantage.

The fact is that conceding the ball is not the key, but the change in mentality after conceding the ball is the culprit that makes Manchester City feel impatient.

When facing Arsenal, there is a huge psychological burden.

And now they have lost the ball again, which is equivalent to losing half of the game. The Manchester City players can't help but worry.

Seeing that the only championship of the season is about to slip away from their hands, one can imagine their impatience.

Arsenal, on the other hand, played steadily. They knew very well how to play in this situation.

Respond to every defense calmly, block the opponent's offense and build your own front line.

As long as these two points are done well, Arsenal can stabilize the situation.

The game time passed little by little, and when it entered the 40th minute, Manchester City had already missed 9 shots, but only 2 of them hit the door frame. The other 7 shots were all long-range shots, or even wild shots. .

This is also a representative of impetuous mentality.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the first half, Manchester City became even more impatient.

Even De Bruyne no longer stayed contentedly in the midfielder position, and he began to penetrate forward frequently.

And large-scale forward penetration will definitely lead to the weakness of the back line.

This also gave Arsenal two chances to counterattack, but goalkeeper Moraes made a very brave save, resisted with a high pass, and rejected two Arsenal shots in a row.

However, this also puts great psychological pressure on Manchester City's defenders.

But Manchester City cannot give up the offense. It can be said that they are riding a tiger at this time.

In the end, Arsenal won the first half of the game steadily.

They ended the first half with a 1:0 lead, which also allowed Arsenal to play more confidently in the second half.

But for Manchester City, if they don't want to lose this championship, they have to make some changes.

On the way into the locker room, Guardiola and his assistant coach were still discussing.

Obviously, they were thinking about how to make tactical changes in the second half.

The atmosphere at Arsenal is more relaxed. In the locker room, the players are also smiling and chatting, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

"Boys, you played well and defended well, and you even scored a surprising goal."

Mourinho had a smile on his face. He didn't expect the goal to come so quickly.

He believes that he only needs to defend well in the first half, hold back Manchester City and make the opponent's mentality impetuous, and wait for the second half to organize an effective attack.

But the surprise came suddenly.

A steal in their own half led to a direct counterattack and a goal. This also gave Arsenal a very friendly start and gave them great initiative in the overall form.

"In the second half, our task is still to defend well. Manchester City will not hand over the championship easily, but since we are already ahead, they will definitely increase their offensive intensity, and how to defend is our strength!"

Listening to Mourinho's words, the Arsenal players subconsciously puffed up their chests.

They believe that Arsenal is the best defensive team in Europe.

For this reason, they also believed that they could prevent Manchester City's offense.

"In the second half, the positions of Kanter and Kay remain the same, and the work content remains the same, but you have to move closer to the center. Once you see De Bruyne advancing, someone must quickly follow up and restrict it. This requires Communicate yourselves.”

Lucky and Kanter nodded one after another. Facing De Bruyne's forward thrust, they would not let the other party easily appear in the dangerous area.

"There is also David Silva. He is getting older and his physical function and condition have declined. If appropriate pressure is applied, he will become very uncomfortable."

Everyone nodded again.

"On the offensive side, we still maintain the basic tactics of counterattack. The wings need to retreat more and move in to help the midfielder ease the difficulty of delivering the ball. Once a quick counterattack is needed, we must also move forward quickly." Mourinho looked at it. Mane said; "Especially you, starting from the second half, you have to run without hesitation. Before the 75th minute, you have to drain your energy. You have to put enough pressure on Kyle Walker and consume his energy at the same time!"

Mane nodded immediately.

He knows his position very well, and he has no objections to this kind of work.

And the championship is right in front of him. Even if he is asked to fight Kyle Walker hand-to-hand at this time, he is willing to do so.

"Okay, boys, these are the tactics. Get back into good shape and get ready for the second half of the game!"

Arsenal players shouted loudly, they are united to welcome their sixth championship!
