Chapter 22 You Are Not the only One Who Has Made Progress!

"Try not to break through Kai, pass the ball as much as possible, and be careful of Kai's movements when counterattacking!"

Football is not a game like chess, there is no set rule for each step.

Players are uncontrollable in the field, so the head coach should rely more on the data in hand and the opponent's recent performance to compare with his own players to formulate tactics.

However, the performance of the opponent's players will also fluctuate.

When they play badly, they can use a certain position as a breakthrough, just like Harry Maguire's turning problem when playing against England before.

But when the opponent performs well, all this will be disrupted.

Just like Manchester City now, who knows that Lekai will suddenly explode.

And the explosive performance is astonishing!

It is completely unreasonable and can't be defended.

Lekai's two goals caused great trouble to Manchester City, but fortunately they tenaciously tied the score.

But the second half is the most critical moment of the two teams' competition.

"Okay, the players from both teams have walked back into the stadium from the player tunnel. After the first half of the game, the current score between the two teams is 2:2. Manchester City fought tenaciously against the attack from the Gunners while playing away!"

"From the entire first half of the game, neither side made any obvious mistakes, and they also showed great ability in seizing opportunities."

"Whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, they each warned the other with two goals. Whenever there is any slight mistake, they can convert it into a goal."

"Of course, for Manchester City, Kai, who scored twice in this game, is a huge problem. How to stop Kai from playing on the offensive end is something that Manchester City needs to solve urgently!"

As the commentator Paul Mossen said, Lucky's performance in this game was too wonderful.

His state and performance can be expressed as super god.

Facing such a player, how should Manchester City deal with it?

The most important thing is that in addition to Lucky, Arsenal has many tricky players.

But these guys are currently hiding behind Lucky and have not shown their claws.

Of course, for Arsenal, Manchester City's increasingly mature ground penetration has also become extremely threatening.

In the past, Manchester City would have problems passing the ball after Arsenal exerted pressure.

But now Manchester City can still guarantee the ball and advance smoothly even in the confrontation.

Is Arsenal attacking or defending?

And for the fans, they still hope to see the same rhythm as in the first half.

The kind of hot game with fists and flesh, confrontation and no retreat.

The players of the two teams returned to the field and changed sides.

From the lineup, it can be seen that the two teams did not make any substitutions during the halftime break.

Both coaches have enough confidence in the lineups in the first half.

However, they are most concerned about the rhythm problem.

Don't drag the rhythm!

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

The intense cheers at the scene also came one after another.

After Aguero kicked off, the ball went directly to Kompany's feet. He looked at Arsenal's rapid attack formation and immediately kicked forward.

Aguero carried Jimenez and used the outside of his instep to cut the ball to the left.

Sterling immediately pressed forward with the ball.

Manchester City immediately launched an attack at the beginning of the game.

Ding!

Sterling's shot hit the crossbar and bounced out.

The ball just landed at Lucky's feet.

Lucky turned around and passed the ball directly with the outside of his instep.

The ball passed through the crowd like a knife and went straight to the backcourt.

Giroud quickly followed up and completed a lob before the goalkeeper.

"Giroud!

Lob! This ball"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Giroud knelt on the ground in pain, his face full of regret.

Crossbar!

Damn crossbar!

After failing to seize two consecutive opportunities, Giroud wanted to hit the leg that shot hard.

Why is he so disappointing.

However, the fans and commentators were very happy.

"Crossbar! Crossbar again!"

"Twice! One shot by Sterling, one shot by Giroud, both hit the crossbar."

"I think the second half of the game will not be boring, the rhythm is still extremely intense, even at the beginning they took out knives and started stabbing each other!"

Paul Mossen was quite excited.

The main reason is that the rhythm of this game is really to his taste.

Compared to those slow, lullaby-like games, this kind of game rhythm makes people feel refreshed.

Arsenal and Manchester City are using their strongest means to attack and counterattack.

They thought that both sides would be a little calmer in the second half.

But none of these happened.

Still not giving in, still a real fight.

Two words!

Refreshing!

"Come back! Come back!"

Lekai hurriedly greeted his teammates, especially Giroud who was kneeling on the ground.

Giroud also stopped his sighing and immediately turned his head to prepare for the header.

But this time, the Manchester City goalkeeper did not pass the ball directly, but passed the ball to the full-back.

The full-back passed the ball to De Bruyne.

After receiving the ball, De Bruyne immediately passed it to Mahrez.

Mahrez received the ball and prepared to attack the wing.

But Kante blocked the opponent.

Facing the eyeing Kante, Mahrez felt a little troubled.

Although Kanter's defense is not as stable as Lucky, he is more aggressive in pressing and interception.

It can be said that once he makes a move, Kanter will definitely come up to press him.

Just as Mahrez was thinking this, a figure came next to him again.

"pass it to me!"

Looking back, De Bruyne has already reached the center circle.

Mahrez immediately made a passing movement.

Kanter also realized that something was wrong, so he stopped waiting and stepped forward to press for the ball.

But what Mahrez needs is just Kante to stretch out his foot. As long as the opponent stretches out his foot, he will be better.

The right foot that was supposed to be passing the ball suddenly buckled and passed Kanter from the side. He immediately stepped into the ball and followed with force from his feet.

boom!

Mahrez had just passed Kante when he was suddenly squeezed behind by a figure.

As he held his nose and looked over, he saw Arsenal's No. 10.

Wilshere?

Why is this guy here?

"Wilshere dropped deep!"

Paul Mawson also said in surprise.

Generally speaking, Wilshere will operate high upfield and rarely drop deep into his own half, let alone such a deep position.

At this time, Wilshere had already turned around in his own Marseille roundabout style. This was mainly to increase the distance from the opponent and face forward at the same time.

After this action, Wilshere made a pass directly from his feet.

A semi-high pass, flying to the middle position.

And in that position, Lucky is better there.

"Kay!

!

This is a cross move!

This time wow!

! ——”

Paul Mawson's words were cut off again, and he immediately let out an exclamation.

The ball was originally flying in the air, but it was kicked by one foot in the air towards Manchester City's centre-back Kompany.

This interception is simply not too cool.

When the screen turned around, you could just see De Bruyne landing and turning around.

"De Bruyne!

! We all thought that De Bruyne's passing on the offensive end was amazing, but we didn't expect that his performance on the defensive end was also so wonderful! "

"Arsenal and Manchester City both made steals and interceptions. In just over ten seconds, the ball changed hands twice, and it returned to Manchester City's possession!"

Lucky pursed his lips and quickly retreated, secretly saying "Damn"

De Bruyne's interception really surprised him.

The most important thing is that this interception was really beyond his expectation.

On the other hand, De Bruyne got up from the ground and quickly directed his teammates to respond.

At the same time, he was observing while retreating to catch the ball.

During the retreat, De Bruyne and Lucky also passed by each other.

De Bruyne turned his head and looked at Lucky, his eyes full of strong fighting spirit.

‘You are not the only one who has made progress! ’

In the past year, De Bruyne has put a lot of energy into learning some defensive positions and techniques.

Every time he faced Arsenal and Lucky, he was hit hard.

Once the offense fails, De Bruyne's role will disappear.

In order to reverse this predicament and to gain more effect in a disadvantaged situation, De Bruyne worked hard to learn defense.

Huangtian paid off, and this interception was the result of these hours of training!
