Golden Greenery

Once upon a time, Chelsea fans insisted that goalkeeper Richech was the best in the world and Buffon was second. Real Madrid supporters said that Casillas was first and Buffon was second. Perhaps they could also join Manchester United fans in saying that Edwin van der Sar was the best and Buffon was second. second.

Everyone else except them basically said that Buffon was number one, so the verdict of the matter seemed obvious.

Urged by time and waves, only Buffon is still standing in front of Juventus rain or shine, Edwin van der Sar has retired, Saint Cassie has transferred to Porto, and the meritorious goalkeeper of Stamford Bridge, the 'Mask Man' Peter Che He gave way to Courtois and came to Arsenal.

The 35-year-old Cech is not old yet, he is just no longer young. Onlookers in front of him are far from ready to lament the ruthlessness of time.

After falling behind 0:1, Manchester City launched an aggressive offensive frenzy on the court, and quite logically, Arsenal also stayed at halftime. And compared to the embarrassing sight in the away game at Leicester City, today the young and old men are all on the right track.

But when they met Petr Cech who looked like a tank soldier, everyone was at a loss.

Ding Ding turned and shot at the white spot; Sterling grabbed the point in the middle; Sane flew to the top of the penalty area.

According to normal football logic, these three opportunities should be three goals, but Cech, wearing a balaclava, performed bravely three times, keeping the score at 0:1. In this situation, no matter who it is, they will inevitably dislike 'Regent' Bravo in comparison.

But having said that, Bravo's high scoring rate when he is shot on target is not entirely his fault. Manchester City's defense is too open, and the defense line is somewhat sparse this season, making it difficult for opponents to find shooting opportunities. , but once caught, high quality can always be achieved, which amplifies Bravo's shortcomings in goalkeeping.

After the halftime break, Guardiola replaced captain Zabaleta with Sagna, which was a targeted adjustment to the defense. It's not that Zabaleta didn't play hard enough, it's because he really struggled in the face of Arsenal's unreasonable speed.

Manchester City's overall age composition is not large, but veterans over 30 years old are relatively concentrated in the defense. The elderly are well-informed and most of them have experienced honors. It is understandable that they are not as desperate on the court as they were when they were young.

In the game against Leicester City, Guardiola and Manchester City executives understood a lot of things, so they have now suspended contract renewal negotiations for Zabaleta, Kolarov, Sagna and Clichy. The words were not stated explicitly, but as we are all members of the football community, some words are true and do not need to be said openly.

.

After personnel adjustments, the scene has not changed much. Manchester City still mainly attacks and Arsenal defends. Guardiola's adjustments are a precautionary measure.

In the 55th minute, Zhuoyang left the bench and began to warm up on the sidelines. Now he is just like Inzaghi of San Siro in the past. He only needs to appear on the sidelines to immediately make the City Stadium stands roar.

Seeing Zhuoyang preparing to play, Professor Wenger felt anxious in his heart. The current score was obviously not enough.

The media has not calculated it, and Zhuo Yang himself has not paid attention to it, but Wenger remembers clearly that since 2004, Arsenal has only met Zhuo Yang in the Champions League, from Madiburg to AC Milan, and then to Barcelona and Real Madrid. All will be eliminated without exception, and Zhuo Yang performed well every time, and he was the biggest executioner of Arsenal's miserable Champions League journey.

Appreciation is from the bottom of my heart, but it cannot be said that I am too old to trust my fate. Wenger really wants to win Zhuoyang's team to upset the situation.

It can't be said to be an inner demon, but Wenger is indeed quite afraid of Zhuo Yang, even Zhuo Yang who has not yet recovered full blood.

Time did not wait for me. 1:0 was obviously not enough. Wenger quickly made adjustments first. The 23-year-old Chamberlain came on to replace the 20-year-old Nigerian winger Alex Iwobi. This was a counter substitution.

Chamberlain can pass, shoot, burst and return to defense. Apart from more injuries, there is nothing wrong with him. If he hadn't recovered from his injury, he should have started today.

Chamberlain transferred from Southampton to Arsenal in 2011 when he was 18 years old. In the following three years, his best friend in the team was French full-back Bacary Sagna, who is now Manchester City. The two people, who are ten years apart in age, are quite compatible.

Chamberlain came to Arsenal because Arsenal has never missed the Champions League in 20 years. Sagna left Arsenal because he has to take a salary cut when he is over 30 years old.

Chamberlain was ordered to play today, and Wenger's secret order to him was to focus on attacking his friend Sagna, because the professor found that after entering the second half, Sane in front of Sagna became lax in his defense.

In fact, Guardiola also saw this, and he was ready to replace Sane with Zhuoyang.

But football is so interesting. What you think is not necessarily what you think. Guardiola and Wenger both miscalculated.

Chamberlain smiled and high-fived Sane one minute, and the next minute he picked up speed and directly bullied his old friend. As expected, Sane did not come back in time to assist.

Unexpectedly, Sagna knew Chamberlain very well. He knew that after he started to speed up, he moved three axes on his feet, first left and then right. He could not turn around quickly, so he simply took a gamble and broke his inside first.

Sagna won the bet, and Chamberlain took the initiative to bring the ball to him.

The wing was cut off, and Manchester City quickly turned into a counterattack against Arsenal. The ball was pushed at the feet of Silva to Sane, who did not return to defend. It was a blessing in disguise. The German boy was just having fun like this.

Sane's speed is by no means limited. He blew into the penalty area like the wind and pushed towards the attacking Cech, finally breaking through the tanker's door, 1:1.

Wenger: "..."

Certain functions deteriorate as you get older, otherwise Wenger would have cursed himself for being a loser.

The slow motion shows that the moment Sane ran back, he was suspected of being offside, which shows where he was just now.

Sane was so excited that this was his first goal in Manchester City. Young people should be high-spirited, so he didn't notice Zhuoyang standing on the sideline. The substitution sign said 18. 19 times.

It is obvious that the Blue Moon fans played favorably. Although they were also cheering for Sane's goal, they were still thinking about giving him a collective signal to see the substitution.

Sane, who was immersed in joy, didn't realize it and continued to run and hug people. Until he ran to the sidelines in order and hugged Zhuo Yang, he still didn't realize it and didn't think about substitutions at all.

He wanted to continue hugging people off the court, so Zhuo Yang quickly grabbed him with a smile and pointed to the substitution card. Hand it over first, then go down and do whatever you want.

Leroy Sane, who was still unresponsive, forced Zhuo Yang to complete the substitution, which attracted good-natured laughter from the home court.

Manchester City have yet to beat a top-six side this season or BIG and today it's time to play Arsenal as he likes.
