Chapter 977 Broken dreams

Sterling's mentality has problems, but not only Sterling, many Manchester City players are also facing inner anxiety.

In such a passive situation, and the score is still behind, normal people will become anxious, and the feeling of irritability driven by emotions will also increase greatly.

This is the case for Manchester City at this time.

What's the use of them leading for most of the season?

If this game cannot be won, then the champion will eventually face the choice of changing hands.

They don't want to watch Arsenal lift the trophy. After winning the league championship last season, what Manchester City wants is a breakthrough and a reelection.

Because of this situation, Manchester City's offense began to become more aggressive.

Aggressive is not the same as effective.

If the aggressive attack will pose a threat to the opponent when the attack is smooth, then in a passive situation, the situation will only get worse.

Twice in a row, the ball passed directly to Aguero's feet and was stabbed out by Arsenal. Although Manchester City was lucky to occupy the first spot in the midfield and ensured that they did not concede the ball, they still chose to move forward. stuffed.

They want to push the line forward as much as possible, and in such a reckless attack, they don't even consider the problem of teammates being able to keep up.

In this case, when De Bruyne passed the ball to the wing, he found that his teammates did not keep up.

This is a loss of the ball without confrontation, and this loss of the ball is a huge blow to morale.

"Manchester City began to worry. De Bruyne's pass was a bit too inappropriate. It was completely unknown who it was passed to. Sane didn't chase the ball, and Aguero didn't stay in that position. Open space, but no one runs in place, the pass is for nothing!"

Facing De Bruyne's inexplicable pass, Chambers, who came off the bench, steadily controlled the ball and passed it to Jimenez.

Jimenez continued to cross, and Hummels passed forward to the retreating Le Kai.

Lucky catches the ball and turns around.

At the moment before receiving the ball, Le Kai had already observed, and no one was forcing him, so he completed the turning movement quite smoothly.

At the same time, Le Kai distributed the ball to Mane on the wing.

After Mane touched the ball with the first foot, Manchester City's overall defense followed. Without any breakthrough space, Mane chose to pass back.

Lucky continues to catch the ball and transfer it.

This is also most of Lucky's work, ensuring the ball holding point and involving the opponent's defense.

Lucky's pass is quite simple, without any curve ball or through pass.

The main reason is that Manchester City's retracement speed is very fast, so he did not choose to continue to press.

At this time, several Manchester City players on the sidelines also began to warm up.

This means that Manchester City is about to make a substitution.

Faced with such a situation, Le Kai was not in a hurry.

It is best to score another goal before Manchester City makes a substitution to expand the score.

But even if they fail to expand the score, Arsenal can guarantee their defensive ability.

So they are in no rush.

"Arsenal played very calmly, and there was no problem with the overall rhythm connection. On the contrary, Manchester City was a little aggressive in attacking. If Arsenal hadn't slowed down the rhythm, this counterattack would be dangerous!"

Andy Gray was talking while looking towards the court.

His eyes were always on Le Kai, not only Andy Gray, but also many people.

For them, Lucky is almost the key point for Arsenal.

Even if there is a goal again, there is a high probability that it will be played from the point of departure of Lucky.

But after Le Kai passed the ball twice, he didn't move forward.

Instead, stand in the middle circle to meet teammates to ensure the safety of the return pass.

The Gunners also understood what Lucky meant, and they must continue to delay.

Arsenal continues to test from both sides, but it is said to be a test, and it is more of a delay.

After all, they are always channeling, but not making any effective threat offense.

Manchester City also came back quickly.

"They want to stall!"

"Go up and grab it!"

"Can't let them go on like this!"

Manchester City players reminded each other and began to approach at the same time.

After the Manchester City players approached, the rhythm accelerated slightly.

Arsenal made more use of one-foot touch for conduction, but they still had no intention of retreating.

"These guys!"

David Silva gritted his teeth.

Arsenal players relied on their advantages to play extremely decisively, and they didn't mean to retreat in the face of oppression. This was to find opportunities under the oppression of Manchester City.

This actually made Manchester City feel great pressure.

After all, if they concede another goal, they will basically say goodbye to the championship.

The most important thing is that there is really not much time left for them.

"It's time to change!"

Guardiola also made a substitution gesture towards the fourth official, indicating that a substitution will be made after the ball is dead.

The other party nodded to show understanding.

Arsenal were still pressing when Guardiola turned his head on the pitch.

But unlike before, Lucky's position is more forward.

It has even come near the restricted area line.

Seeing Le Kai's position, Guardiola couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

You know, this position has already entered the range of Lucky.

Lucky's long-range shooting ability has made many teams extremely afraid, and so is Manchester City.

"Watch Kai! Don't let him kick!"

Guardiola immediately yelled to remind his teammates.

And under the reminder of Guardiola, the Manchester City players also stepped up their defense against Lucky.

But at this moment, Aubameyang, who was holding the ball from the wing, suddenly got rid of it horizontally, and used his explosive power to pull out half of his body in an instant.

Under normal circumstances, under such a gap in size, the full back can still block.

But Aubameyang's swing of the ball was towards the rear diagonally, which caused the distance between the two to be widened.

Aubameyang has room to kick.

"Oops!"

Just as Kyle Walker was about to pounce, Aubameyang shook his ankle and the ball was passed by him.

"Middle lane!"

Kyle Walker saw that he couldn't catch up, and immediately turned his head to remind him.

The ball flew to the middle, but not in the penalty area, but near the top of the arc of the penalty area line.

This is passed to Lucky.

At this time, Le Kai has already volleyed sideways.

"Stop!"

"Don't let him shoot!"

At this moment, the red alarm bell sounded again in Manchester City's defense.

Lucky bowed his bow and set his arrow, he didn't seem to see the Manchester City players who came to block.

Just as Otamendi moved his body laterally in front of Lucky, the ball just fell to the ground.

"Blocked!"

Otamendi was overjoyed.

But in the next second, his expression changed drastically.

Lucky didn't take a long-range shot at all. He lowered his right foot lightly, kicked it horizontally, and directly wiped Otamendi.

Manchester City full-back Danilo desperately stepped forward to press, but just before he got close to Le Kai, Le Kai stepped forward with his left foot and stabbed the ball diagonally behind the right side with his toe.

Watching the ball pass by him, Danilo's heart was dark.

Ruined!

Sure enough, there was a loud sound of footsteps, followed by a bang, and the audience suddenly fell silent.

"Aubameyang kickback! A sudden lateral break away, a cross!! Kai!! It's a volley. No! Spike! Otamendi is knocked down, Danilo steps up, Kai scores, beautiful ! Mane! This shot is here!!"

Zhan Jun suddenly jumped up from his chair.

He shouted excitedly; "Mane!! A goal!! Arsenal has scored!! The score is 3:1, and Arsenal has indeed gained a huge advantage!"

"There are still 10 minutes before the end of the game, Manchester City's goal was broken again!"

"Guardiola's substitutions are slow!"

Finally, Zhan Jun shook his head and sighed.

And Zhang Lu on the side said; "Guardiola wants to make a substitution, but he doesn't have a good substitution target. These people on the field are already the whole family, and they are also the most threatening combination. Replace them with others." It may not be better than them, but 80 minutes have not changed, which is really unreasonable!"

"We don't know what Guardiola is thinking, but now Manchester City has basically lost the possibility of the championship!"

"Guardiola's dream of leading Manchester City to defend the league title was completely shattered after this goal!"

"At the same time, Arsenal will most likely win another Premier League trophy at the Emirates Stadium in five years' time!"
