  Chapter 707 Pass Control VS Counterattack

   "Here is Sky Sports live broadcasting the 21st round of the 2016/2017 Premier League season between Arsenal and Manchester City at home!"

   "In the past 20 rounds, Manchester City and Arsenal were in the third and fifth positions in the standings respectively. The difference in points between the two sides is only one point. In other words, this game will determine the ranking of the two sides in the standings!"

   "Whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, no one wants to fall out of the Champions League qualification in the standings, especially for Manchester City and Guardiola, after a season, they must show some results this season!"

"Arsenal's performance this season is also very good, and in this game, we can see that Arsenal's captain Kay has regained his starting debut. the match of!"

   "This is extremely friendly news for Arsenal and the fans."

   "Because of Kai's comeback, this game is bound to become extremely intense!"

"At the same time, we can focus on Yaya Toure. This once powerful midfielder in the Premier League is 33 years old. Yaya Toure himself also said in an interview that he was already struggling when playing in the top league. Consider the issue of transferring and leaving this season or next season."

   "This is the sixth year that Yaya Toure has played for Manchester City. He has witnessed the historic moment when Manchester City won the Premier League trophy, and now Yaya Toure is likely to leave the Premier League because of his age!"

   "For Yaya Toure, this game is also an extremely difficult battle. Opposite them, Arsenal has 'probably' the world's top midfielder!"

  In Andy Gray's words, after the players of both sides finished the pre-match photoshoot and side selection, they came to their respective halfs.

  Arsenal took the lead in getting the ball.

  Manchester City chose the left half.

   Lukaku stood in the middle circle waiting for the kick-off.

   Players on both sides are also ready to fight.

   Lucky moved a little bit, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted his state.

   This will allow him to enter the game faster.

  After resting for a period of time, his physical fitness has recovered a lot. Once the state continues, Le Kai's performance in this game will inevitably receive great expectations.

   Soon, the whistle sounded.

  Fierce cheers followed.

  After Lukaku kicked off, Arsenal began to conduct patiently.

   Did not show any sneak attack.

  “Arsenal played very calmly at the beginning, they were patiently pouring the ball.”

"Kay's position appears on the front side of the left half. When working as a defensive midfielder, Kay can also participate in the offense better in this position. Of course, Mourinho sometimes asks Kay to mainly serve as a defensive player. Work, but against Manchester City, Arsenal should want to play more proactively."

   As soon as the voice fell, Arsenal lost the ball.

  The press they expected did not appear, but instead began to position and coordinate defense to supplement the gap.

  Arsenal does not care about the ball!

  Andy Gray was slightly surprised; "Arsenal gave up the ball?"

  In the confrontation in the first half of the season, when Arsenal were away, Lucky suppressed Manchester City's midfielder.

  So many people think that Arsenal will still use this tactic to head-to-head with the opponent's midfielder.

  But I didn't expect Arsenal to voluntarily give up the ball.

   Seeing Arsenal's actions, Guardiola also frowned slightly.

  He also wanted to avenge himself in the confrontation with the opponent's midfielder.

   But Arsenal's choice made him land a heavy blow on Cotton.

  Arsenal chose to back down!

   "Keep an eye on your position! Don't give the opponent a gap behind you!"

"focus!"

   "Watch the ball! Watch the ball!"

  Arsenal players are yelling, they are communicating, sharing intelligence.

  In this case, Manchester City is somewhat difficult to score.

   Manchester City is also a little depressed.

  They also want to have a good confrontation in the midfield and get back the field.

  But who would have thought that Arsenal voluntarily gave up the midfield rhythm.

   "Press it up!"

   De Bruyne looked at Arsenal's position, gritted his teeth slightly and decided.

  Since you don't fight against them in the midfield, don't blame them for pressing and kicking.

  Manchester City's midfield is pressing forward as a whole.

   After they crossed the half-court, the Arsenal players suddenly moved.

   And this time the movement was very intense, the front and rear players were surrounded in an instant, looking aggressive.

   Even Manchester City's continuous conduction is difficult to limit this kind of pressing.

   They had just stepped into Arsenal's half and were quickly pushed back.

  Yaya Toure is in the back position and divides the ball to both sides.

  He could see very clearly that at the moment of pressing, Arsenal's position was also in a state of ready to go. Once they grabbed the ball, Arsenal would immediately launch a counterattack.

  Arsenal's counterattack is not so easy to stop.

"be careful!"

  A word of caution to Yaya Toure.

   But after all, it doesn't have much effect. How can you not lose the ball when you play football?

  In the strong press of Arsenal, Manchester City finally conceded the ball.

   Kanter knocked the ball back from Sterling's feet, and Sterling fell to the ground trying to cheat, but the referee was indifferent.

   Kanter looked at Lucky's position, and after finding that it was too far away, he passed Wilshere forward.

  Wilshere was assigned directly to the left, and immediately began to run wildly.

   Lucky also moved forward quickly.

  Arsenal's counterattack was so fierce that Manchester City couldn't keep up for a while.

   Aubameyang made an inverted triangle from the bottom.

  Wilshere stopped quickly and rubbed his feet hard.

  The ball was rubbed to the back point.

  But Mane was a little slow to follow, and he didn't touch the ball until the ball flew out of the baseline.

  The ball was hanging on the side net, and the scene was full of exclamations.

  Manchester City escaped the counterattack narrowly.

   "Focus! Their counterattacks are fast!"

   "After being robbed, fight back as soon as possible!"

   "Don't be affected by the opponent's rhythm, calm down!"

  Manchester City players are shouting and cheering each other on.

   I have to say that this counterattack took them by surprise. Arsenal's counterattack was much faster than their phenomenon.

   And they were staring at Lucky all the time, but they didn't expect that it was Wilshere's counterattack rhythm.

   Lucky also returned to his own half, waiting for the opponent to kick off.

  Although this counterattack failed to score a goal, it also achieved good results.

   Manchester City was definitely taken aback by Arsenal's counterattack speed, and then they didn't dare to advance too casually.

   This counts as a warning!

   Two minutes later, Manchester City responded with color.

   De Bruyne holds the ball in Arsenal's half. He is located near the arc of the center circle and rubs the ball directly with the outside instep.

  The ball barely passed in front of Le Kai.

   Lucky stretched out his foot as much as possible, but failed to stop the pass.

   This pass has a small arc, just bypassing Lucky.

  Fortunately, Robertson was very alert at the landing position and shoveled the ball out ahead of time.

  Once Sane is allowed to hold the ball and complete the cut inside, Arsenal will be in danger.

   "De Bruyne's wonderful pass! How dare you pass the ball!" Zhan Jun exclaimed.

Zhang Lu on the side also smiled and said: "Young and energetic! He just stared at Lucy's position and kicked the ball very stealthily. He has a small arc. In fact, Lucky's running position has already been noticed. But when he tried to intercept, the line just went around the tiptoe."

  On the court, De Bruyne also shook his head slightly.

   And when he looked at Le Kai, he raised his chin subconsciously, as if showing off.

   Lucky got up and glanced at De Bruyne.

   I have to say that he was careless this time, and he didn't expect this arc problem.

   I won’t give him another chance next time!

  After Arsenal took the lead in attacking, Manchester City relied on De Bruyne's pass to get back the field.

  But the score between the two sides is still 0:0.

   At this time, ten minutes have passed.

   Both sides have a threatening attack.

  From the perspective of the scene, Manchester City has the initiative, but Arsenal's counterattack is sharper, showing a sense of balance and stalemate overall.

  The question now is who will break this balance first.

   A sharp temptation to break this silence with a touch of repression.

   Fans believe that once this rhythm of the game is broken, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides will suddenly become stronger.

  Now it feels like a sense of depression before the war.

   The two sides are on the verge of firing!
