Chapter 969 Soaring figure

Arsenal's overall forward pressure made Manchester City feel a little pressure, but their midfielder can still control the rhythm very well, which is still within a controllable range.

However, with the pressure from Arsenal, their overall formation was slowly compressed.

Arsenal's pressing in the midfield is very active, which also leads to a faster rhythm.

Manchester City began to make more one-kick passes, trying to break up Arsenal's press.

But for a full three minutes, Arsenal didn't seem to give up at all, which caused Manchester City's pressure to drop the ball to increase.

In the rapid passing again and again, the players not only need to make quick judgments, but also make moves.

Whenever there is a problem in one link, the overall control rhythm will be destroyed.

Manchester City's pass control is very good, but it does not mean that it cannot be disintegrated.

Especially in Arsenal's way of pressure.

Looking at Arsenal's pressure in the frontcourt, Manchester City did not dare to continue playing with fire. They began to pass the ball forward, hoping to relieve some of the pressure on the back line.

In this way, even if the ball is stolen, he will not be directly counterattacked.

But as soon as they sent the ball to De Bruyne with their front foot, Arsenal formed a siege lineup with their back foot.

Lucky, Xhaka and the retreating Mane quickly blocked De Bruyne in the middle.

De Bruyne saw that the situation was not good, he wanted to pass the ball, but at this moment, Lucky suddenly moved a step sideways, and this step also cut off De Bruyne's passing route.

The ball was not passed, and De Bruyne was completely surrounded by Arsenal.

"Spread it! Spread it!"

David Silva yelled anxiously.

The teammates also responded.

But as Arsenal's encirclement shrinks and shrinks, De Bruyne's pressure becomes greater.

Soon, Xhaka stuck to De Bruyne to press.

On the other side, Lucky also blocked the outside line tightly, and Mane behind him also prevented De Bruyne from turning around.

"De Bruyne was blocked by Arsenal on the wing, he didn't have any space to play the ball!"

As soon as the commentator's voice fell, Xhaka suddenly stretched out his foot and poked the ball out of the sideline.

Seeing the ball roll out of the sideline, De Bruyne was also slightly relieved.

This result is much better than counterattacking after being tackled.

"Xhaka is a little anxious, he should wait for Kai to steal the ball!"

Andy Gray sighed.

He is still more inclined to steal the ball from Le Kai. If he steals the ball from Le Kai's perspective, it can completely allow Mane to directly form a counterattack situation.

Xhaka also grinned after completing the press; "Sorry, captain!"

Le Kai shook his head and said, "It's good to be able to destroy, well done, let's continue!"

Xhaka was refreshed.

He feels that his condition is really good.

Manchester City's throw.

Full-back Kyle Walker threw the ball to De Bruyne, who returned a kick and then turned and ran.

He wants to use this method to pull Lucky out of the encirclement net, and at the same time pull out a passing angle.

But Le Kai is not a rookie, this level of pulling and running can't fool him at all.

Lucky still stood in his position, and at the same time signaled the full back to watch De Bruyne.

De Bruyne saw that he could not deceive Le Kai, so he ran back helplessly.

It is really not an easy task to grab the ball from Manchester City.

Although today's Manchester City is not Barcelona in the Dream III period, it has an almost abnormal pass control ability, but the stability of pass control is still very good.

For this reason, Arsenal is also constantly putting pressure on, adding a stable defense to maintain the situation.

Guardiola on the sidelines looked dignified.

Since the Spanish period, Guardiola and Mourinho have played against each other a lot.

Facing a Portuguese who likes to defend, Guardiola has had victories and also experienced failures.

I have to say that Mourinho is a difficult opponent, and the team he coaches is the same.

In the situation, Manchester City dominates the ball, but as an offensive team, they have been unable to shoot effectively. This is a very obvious signal.

It is difficult for Manchester City to break through Arsenal's defense.

They can only try again and again.

And in the process of testing, anything can happen.

"These guys."

David Silva wants to send the ball to the middle, but Arsenal's defense in the middle is extremely tight.

As a last resort, he could only send it towards the sidewalk.

As soon as Sane got the ball, Kanter posted it.

Under the approach again and again, Sane could only pass back.

But at the moment of the return pass, Sane had a physical collision with Kanter, which also made Sane's pass a little deviated.

"Return error!"

Andy Gray suddenly roared.

His eyes are on the ball, which lands between David Silva and Xhaka.

The two started to rush towards the ball almost at the same time.

Xhaka's speed is very fast, the Swiss player is sprinting with all his might.

The moment the ball was approaching, Xhaka fell directly to the ground with a shovel, and kicked the ball to the feet of Aubameyang on the wing.

After receiving the ball, Aubameyang turned around and sprinted immediately.

"Aubameyang rushed up! Arsenal's counterattack!"

At the moment when the counterattack started, Arsenal's offensive and defensive conversion speed was reflected, almost ahead of all Manchester City players sprinting forward.

Due to the rapid start, Arsenal have significantly more counterattacks than Manchester City's defensive players.

"Come back! Come back quickly!"

Otamendi yells.

He retreated while observing Aubameyang's passing line.

Kyle Walker has posted Aubameyang.

Kyle Walker is the only one in the Manchester City team who can catch up with Aubameyang's speed. For this reason, Guardiola deliberately put Kyle Walker on the same wing as Aubameyang.

Both of them sprint fast.

Aubameyang's bottom line was very resolute. At the moment when he was close to the bottom line, Aubameyang made an emergency stop. After the cheating Kyle Walker also stopped, he immediately started again, pulled out half of his body, and made a cross .

The ball flew to the middle.

Giroud raised his head to judge where the ball fell.

Just as he was about to take off, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, and with a roar, he pushed the ball out of the baseline.

"Otamendi! A brilliant drop-back sabotage!"

Andy Gray cheered loudly.

Otamendi is a player with a height of 183 centimeters and a weight of 78 kilograms. As a central defender, he is considered thin, but his strength is not weak.

As a central defender, Otamendi has an excellent prediction of where to go, so he was able to complete this destruction.

And recently, Otamendi's performance is also extremely outstanding.

It can be said that Manchester City can win many games, among them Otamendi's stable performance in the defense.

Roar! ! !

After landing, Otamendi also roared, venting his inner excitement.

This destruction is extremely exciting from any angle, and it is also very good in his opinion.

Giroud looked at Otamendi with some displeasure.

If I had been able to take off earlier, maybe it would have been a different result.

Giroud is sometimes annoyed by such things. Facing the choice of hitting point, he always has some hesitation, which can easily make him miss the opportunity.

But no matter what, the attack was ruined.

And Arsenal won a corner kick.

"Focus! Get ready for the summit!"

Lucky's voice came.

Giroud turned his head and looked over, Le Kai had already run into the penalty area, ready to fight for the top.

The two looked at each other and made a simple exchange.

Immediately, the two came to the arc top of the restricted area.

Aubameyang takes the corner kick.

He looked towards Manchester City's big penalty area, his eyes drifting away from Giroud and Le Kai.

These two are Arsenal's most capable players.

At the same time, Manchester City's defensive positions are more concentrated on the center and front. For this reason, Aubameyang decided to hit a penalty kick.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

Aubame Yangguo breaks the ball.

At this moment, the players on both sides also made actions instantly.

Lucky and Giroud separated almost instantly, pulling towards the front and rear sides.

And Manchester City defender Otamendi also retreated rapidly.

He watched the ball fly across the middle and back, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug in his eyes.

Sure enough, he guessed right!

Otamendi stood still and was about to take off immediately, but his eyes suddenly went dark.

A voice blocked the sun, Otamendi raised his head slightly, and then slowly opened his mouth wide.

He saw Le Kai almost flying past in front of him, and headed the ball towards the goal in the air.

"How can it be!"
