Chapter 193: Applauding in Line

On May 9, the 37th round of the Premier League began.

Arsenal played away against Manchester City.

The Premier League champion has been determined, so the significance of this game is not particularly important.

In addition, the two clubs seemed to have negotiated, and a large number of injuries were reported.

On the Manchester City side, De Bruyne, Kompany, Aguero, Fernandinho, all sent to the injury bench.

On the Arsenal side, Wilshere, Kante, Aubameyang, Giroud, Hummels, Jimenez were also sent to the injury bench.

The content of these players' injuries is unprecedentedly unified, and they are physically unwell.

This is what the Lakers said, but the fans also know that since the season is over and the champion has appeared, this game has no much significance.

I thought Manchester City would encourage sniping Arsenal's unbeaten record, but from the current situation, the two sides seem to have reached some kind of agreement.

Arsenal won the championship two rounds in advance, so when they appeared, they were based on the unspoken rules within the league.

Manchester City players lined up on both sides of the home court to welcome the champions.

Amidst the sparse applause, Arsenal players boarded the Manchester City Stadium with smiles and played the 36th round of the game here.

Due to too many injuries, both sides of the game also sent a large number of substitutes.

The game seemed very intense, but there was a feeling of letting each other go.

Arsenal did not have such a sharp counterattack, and Manchester City did not have a fierce attack.

Both sides competed more in the midfield control.

But without De Bruyne, Manchester City's midfield was obviously unable to withstand the pressure of Arsenal.

In particular, the previous pass lacked spirituality, and it was not enough to stabilize the situation.

On the other hand, Arsenal, under the organization and advancement of Lucky, although there were not as many back passes as Manchester City, they provided solid threats.

Throughout the first half, although Arsenal did not control too much ball possession, they played a more exciting offensive performance.

Under the camera, Mourinho and Guardiola.

The expressions of both of them were extremely calm. Obviously, this game didn't mean anything, so there was no need for them to fight for a game.

For Manchester City, the FA Cup is their last hope to compete for the championship.

For Arsenal, they still have the Champions League and the FA Cup to play, so they won't spend too much effort in the league.

Bang!

Arsenal suddenly made a big kick from the backcourt, directly finding Lukaku in the frontcourt,

Lukaku held the Manchester City central defender with his back, and passed the ball to Dembé who was advancing from the side.

Dembé used his speed to decisively break into the penalty area, and before the opponent's defensive players arrived, he poked the ball with his toes.

The ball went into the net.

Arsenal scored the first goal in the 31st minute.

However, after this goal, Manchester City was not very negative. At the beginning of the second half, they used continuous passes to tear open Arsenal's defense.

After losing the support of Lukay and Kante, Arsenal's defense was directly exposed, and finally gave Manchester City a chance to shoot.

Manchester City captain David Silva shot the ball into the upper right corner of the goal with a lob, equalizing the score.

These two goals were also the only two goals of the game.

After the 90-minute game, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

Both sides got one point each.

Manchester City still maintains the second place in the league.

And Arsenal's unbeaten record has not been broken.

After 36 rounds, Arsenal still maintains an unbeaten record, but the next game will not be so easy.

They will face Liverpool at home.

This is the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Although Arsenal led Liverpool 2:1 in the last round and finally won the game.

But with the performance in the last round, Liverpool still showed the ability to overturn Arsenal.

So, this game is the key event.

Three days passed in a flash.

The Champions League match day in the middle of the week is here.

The Emirates Stadium is still full of jubilation.

After all, this game will completely determine whether Arsenal can reach the Champions League final, so the fans' enthusiasm is naturally high.

There are also many Liverpool fans who came to the away game.

They have made great efforts to win the Champions League again, and they are unwilling to fail here.

"Liverpool's pressure is greater. If they want to win the Champions League again, they must overcome Arsenal. Based on the last round of games, Liverpool also had problems with late-stage weakness. How Klopp solves these problems is the key!"

"On the other hand, Arsenal has a firm advantage and a home bonus, so it is more important for them to stabilize the situation!"

Andy Gray was talking.

In the stadium, the players of both teams have already started to enter the stadium holding the hands of the ball boys.

Under the camera, the expressions of the Liverpool players are more solemn.

After all, they know very well that it is not so easy to get to the Champions League final at this time when they are in a backward stage.

In terms of lineup, both sides generally maintain the previous lineup system.

However, Liverpool made some changes in the midfield.

Chamberlain replaced Wijnaldum in the starting lineup of this game.

Obviously, Klopp believed that it would be difficult for Chen Man alone to exhaust Lekai's physical energy and limit him.

For this reason, he added Chamberlain in the midfield position.

Chamberlain, who was born as a winger and is now trained by Klopp as a heavy gunner, may bring miraculous effects to the game.

Chen Man and Chamberlain, one in front and one behind, what they want is to restrict Lucky.

Lucky also saw the opponent's lineup and directly thought of the root of the problem.

Klopp still wants to make a fuss on the wing he defends.

But Arsenal and Lucky will not suffer the same loss for the second time.

After such a long time, if no solution has been found, Arsenal's coaching staff will not have to mess around.

Lucky retreated, circled his index fingers with each other, and made a gesture of changing positions.

Bellerin and Robertson saw this scene and understood it immediately.

Sure enough, when the two sides stood, Bellerin appeared in the position of the full-back behind Lucky.

Since Liverpool likes to play speed so much, Arsenal will insert a speed-type full-back behind Lucky to specialize in defense.

Bellerin's speed is certainly not as fast as Chen Man, but with the restriction of Lekai's frontcourt, he has a lot of room to play.

And in this game, Bellerin will not attack forward.

His task is to block the gap behind Lekai.

"Captain! Leave it to me!"

Bellerin gave Lekai a thumbs up.

Lekai nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at the opponent's half, squinting slightly.

Since the opponent wants to use him as a breakthrough point so much, they have to bear the consequences of failing to break through.

The game is about to start.

Liverpool kicked off first.

The referee of this game is Kuipas, the referee from the Netherlands.

This is a referee known for his strict coaching.

Obviously, in the last round, after many fouls on both sides, the referee department felt a sense of crisis by testing the scale of penalties.

So they were afraid that the game would get out of control in this game, so they arranged an extremely strict referee for this.

Kuipas has a history of showing 8 yellow cards in a game, and there is also a manager who drove players off the field with three consecutive red cards.

For this reason, such a strict referee can have a good control over this game.

At least the players will not be as unbridled as in the last game.

But even so, Arsenal and Liverpool both tried to test each other after the opening.

But just one test, they each received a yellow card.

Wilshere and Henderson, both of whom were directly shown yellow cards after their first foul.

The referee also used this method to warn them not to test the scale of the penalty and play their own ball well.

After this experience, the movements of the players on both sides obviously began to converge.

Even players like Lekai who are good at using their bodies slowed down some movements.

Chen Man felt that Lekai did not exert excessive pressure, and his heart could not help but become active.

Maybe he can try to break through?

Thinking of this, Chen Man immediately called for a pass.

When the ball was passed to Chen Man's feet, Lekai immediately moved forward to press.

Chen Man did not pass the ball, but observed the situation, suddenly shook to the left, and then turned to the right.

Just as he turned around after touching the ball for the first time and was about to dribble the ball for the second time.

A foot suddenly appeared above the ball and stepped on it to pull it back.

Chen Man missed the ball with his foot and stumbled two steps.

When he looked up, Le Kai was already running forward with the ball.
