I Want to Be the King of Football

In December, a sudden cold current hit the British Isles.

Far north of London, at the Kearney training base, Wenger's mood was even colder than the weather outside.

Sarnia and Gibbs are injured!

This was discovered during today's training. The team doctor told him that the two players will miss the fourteenth round of the Premier League this weekend.

This is also telling Wenger that in the away game against Manchester City, he will not have even a regular full-back in his hands.

Nima, how do you kick this?

In the Midweek League Cup, he didn't play as a traditional full-back because he wanted to hold on. The result was good, but he still lost.

Now he has made up his mind. Since the defense is not good, I will fight Manchester City and smash Guardiola.

Unexpectedly, the full-back was injured.

Damn it! It's almost there?

Have you ever seen such a bad luck?

Wenger wanted to go crazy and became very irritable.

Arsenal is now seventh in the Premier League standings, only three points away from Newcastle, which is fourth, but this does not mean that Arsenal has a good chance. On the contrary, because before Arsenal, they are ranked fifth and fourth. The six are Chelsea and Liverpool, and these two teams are also eyeing the top four.

According to Wenger’s own guess, it is unlikely that Newcastle will maintain the top four rankings, but Tottenham Hotspur still has great hopes of holding the top four, and the top Manchester City and Manchester United are both relatively stable. Especially Manchester City, has maintained a record of victory so far.

In this case, if you want to break into the top four, you must come up with real results.

In other words, Arsenal must try to grab points from the strong team and bite the bones.

Against Manchester City, no matter from which point of view, Arsenal have no reason to let go.

But how do you get Manchester City?

Thinking of this, Wenger sighed helplessly.

He is proposing to the management that he hopes to make appropriate signings during the winter break. Otherwise, given the current status of the team, the second half will be very difficult. If there is a loss in the top four of the league, then for Arsenal, It would be a terrible thing.

Van Persie's contract renewal is likely to be unexpected.

You know, so far this season, Arsenal’s offense is very dependent on Van Persie. Under Van Persie, the team’s second scorer is the little tiger Walcott, but his goals on all fronts are Four.

This means that in addition to Van Persie, Arsenal's other attackers collectively pull their hips.

If you can't renew the contract with Van Persie, what will the Gunners do?

Judging from the situation in recent seasons, if you want to improve your strength, you must sign up.

Refusing to invest, and wanting to keep the top four in the league, this is no longer possible.

The Premier League today is no longer the Premier League of the past.

Ferguson only spoke for the frustration of Manchester United’s Champions League a few days ago. He believed that the reason why Manchester United did not perform well in the Champions League was because the internal friction of the Premier League was too serious. .

This may be an excuse, but it may not be the reason.

Wenger has basically been in contact, and Henry, who played for the major leagues in the United States, also intends to return to Arsenal to alleviate the Gunners' striker crisis, but this transaction still requires a nod from the management.

Far water will not be near fire, whether Henry will join is still unknown, but Manchester City is imminent.

Going north to Manchester, the gunners must do their best to grab points.

Even a tie is acceptable.

At the very least, it stopped Manchester City's winning streak.

…………

…………

On the afternoon of December 3rd, Manchester Etihad Stadium.

In the fourteenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against Arsenal at home.

When the referee Phil Dowd blew the whistle for the start of the game, Manchester City quickly passed the ball back to the back line.

The Arsenal players, led by Van Persie, pushed forward at the fastest speed and went straight to Manchester City's defense.

The Belgian goalkeeper kicked the ball to the front court with a big foot directly near the penalty point.

Su Dong grabbed the spot and gave the header to his midfield teammate David Silva. As a result, Arsenal strangled the midfield again, forcing Manchester City to pass the ball back again.

When the ball passed to the right this time, Sabaletta kicked the ball to Arsenal's left forward Gervinho and went out of the sideline, forming a foul ball.

After Manchester City sent the ball-in, just past the center line, they were once again sniped by Arsenal, but this time it was Sanchez that hit the ball last, so it became Arsenal's out-of-bounds ball.

Players of the two teams passed back and forth in the midfield, fighting desperately, fighting fiercely for the ball.

Arsenal is also contrary to the previous home game in the League Cup knockout. They took the initiative to face Manchester City. They did not back down. Instead, they behaved very aggressively. Obviously they learned the lessons of the League Cup defeat.

The Gunners’ strangling tactics in the midfield is a very big test for their physical energy consumption, while Manchester City is trying hard to slow down the rhythm of the game, incorporate the rhythm and state that they are most familiar with, and slowly follow Assen. Meet the consumption.

But Manchester City's pass was interrupted time and time again by Arsenal, and the rhythm of the final game was also disrupted time and time again.

This makes the game at the beginning stage not smooth and not good-looking.

Until the sixth minute, Hazard suddenly cut in after getting the ball from the left side of the frontcourt. When trying to throw off the defender, he was fouled by Alexander Song and won a direct free kick to the left of the frontcourt for Manchester City. .

Su Dong personally took the penalty and kicked a high-quality free kick. However, due to the long distance and the angle to the left, his shot was not suppressed and slightly higher than the crossbar.

Arsenal were shocked in a cold sweat, but Manchester City also failed to score.

...

"Damn, pay attention, Alexander, I said, don't foul at the front of the penalty zone!"

Wenger was furious on the sidelines.

How high is Su Dong's free kick skills? The whole world knows that fouling at the front of the penalty area does not mean that he is given a chance to score goals?

Although the position just now is rather off, it is also very dangerous, isn't it?

Alexander Song was also very depressed. He didn't want to foul, but the short boy in Manchester City was too flexible and cunning.

Arsenal were somewhat shocked because of this ball, but Wenger still did not change and insisted on letting the team out.

The League Cup in midweek strengthened his determination and must fight Manchester City.

The more you give in, the faster you die!

...

Arsenal seems to be taking three midfielders, but the position is actually more like a four-two-three-one formation.

Needless to say the first three, Ramsey's position is also relatively high, obviously to suppress Busquets.

Alexander Song and Arteta formed a double midfielder, just to protect the line of defense, and inform Ramsey to suppress Manchester City's midfield. The line of defense is to cooperate with the midfield and press forward as a whole.

This style of play is actually very risky, because everyone knows that Manchester City is very good at passing the ball and hitting directly behind.

Just as two minutes after Su Dong’s free kick, David Silva sent a through ball and sent the ball directly into the penalty area, allowing Su Dong to jump in and chase it, but the goalkeeper Shiqin Sney resolutely abandoned the goal, fell to the ground at the penalty spot and hugged the ball.

Two consecutive attacks, played the momentum of Manchester City, and as the game deepened, playing for nearly ten minutes, Arsenal's pressing force was slightly weaker than at the opening.

After all, they are also humans, not machines, and need to take a breather.

But the horror of Manchester City is that when you can't always maintain high-intensity pressure, and are unwilling to actively retreat, compressing the defensive space, then Manchester City can always penetrate through the back and forth of that kind of players and pass the ball to tear you apart. Line of defense.

It's like this time in the tenth minute.

Pepe stopped the ball forward and backward and quickly passed the ball to David Silva.

The Spaniard then passed it to Hazard.

After the Belgian winger pulled back and stopped the ball, he couldn't turn around and could only take it back and pass it back to Busquets.

But when Hazard retreated, he brought out Koscielny, who played the right back, and made Arsenal's defense on the right side too much. At this time, Leiden Bynes was the most Fastness, close to the left line before inserting.

Busquets peeked at the timing and made a diagonal pass, passing the ball accurately through the midfield and passing directly to the line of Leyton Bynes. England's left-back stopped the ball forward and backward and ran straight after it. Go up, take a look at the middle, and pass his left foot diagonally to the top of the arc of the large penalty area to find Su Dong.

Su Dong lay in ambush in the middle. After seeing Leiden Bynes advance, he quickly moved forward. At the moment when England's left back passed the ball, he rushed past Zhulu and Mertesacker with speed and explosive force. Mtlnovel’s defense line ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ rushed to the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area, and stopped the ball with his right foot into the penalty area.

"Single-handed!!!"

There were repeated exclamations from Manchester City fans.

After Su Dong stopped the ball, the speed of the whole man continued to catch up again, and before Szczesny hit the spot, he quickly volleyed with his right foot.

The ball passed by Szczensny with extreme speed and went straight into the bottom of Arsenal's goal net.

One to zero!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"The tenth minute, the tenth minute, Manchester City opened the scoring!!!"

"Su Dong received a left pass from Leighton Bynes, then inserted and formed a single-handed move, scoring the first goal of the game for Manchester City!"

"This is a standard Manchester City goal."

"From the back and forth of the players in the midfield and the interspersed, after pulling the defensive players, Leiden Bynes intervened, and quickly hit behind Koscielny, Busquets passed the ball. It was also very well given, and the subsequent crosses were also very accurate."

"Look at Su Dong's stop of the ball again. It is very beautiful. The ball is just like sticking to his foot. It is completely obedient to the instructions given to him. After stopping in the penalty area, he will hit the ball directly."

"The whole scoring process is the embodiment of Manchester City's football philosophy, and it is also a demonstration of Su Dong's personal ability."

"Stopping the ball with this kick is really pleasing to the eye!"

While Su Dong celebrated his goal, the Manchester City fans in the stands were shouting his name frantically. The entire Etihad Stadium became very enthusiastic, as if even the air had been ignited.

Only Wenger, who was in front of the visiting team coach, involuntarily tightened his suit.

Damn it, the temperature in Manchester is colder than London!
