Chapter 13: Another Goal

"Mane!

He helped Arsenal score their first goal of the season! "

"Hitting the door directly from this small angle is very decisive!"

"Man City's attitude was distracted by Giroud and Kai in defense, so much so that they missed Mane in the back post!"

"Of course, Eriksen's free throw was also very good, and he accurately passed it to the gap at the back point!"

"Arsenal is still in excellent form this season!"

Andy Gray cheered loudly.

The entire Wembley Stadium was also in a state of excitement.

Arsenal fans cheered wildly throughout the stadium.

The whole space was filled with cheers, whistles and applause.

After the opening, it seemed that Manchester City launched a more intense attack, but it was still Arsenal who scored first.

Just like the Gunners last season, they will not be affected by changes in the situation. One chance, they only need one chance to pry open the opponent's goal.

The Arsenal players are also very excited.

Especially for Eriksen, he never imagined that it would be so easy to score Manchester City's goal.

Arsenal's corner kick tactics have many variations. Eriksen also conducted some research after joining, and finally passed the ball to the back point.

This decision also gave Arsenal a valuable goal.

"Well done!"

Eriksen held out his hand.

Mane also smiled happily and said: "Great pass!"

One of the two received assists and the other scored goals, which will greatly promote their status in the new season.

For Eriksen in particular, the confidence he builds in this game will serve him greatly.

"Eriksen! After leaving Tottenham and joining Arsenal, many media were worried about whether the Danish midfielder could integrate into Arsenal's counterattack rhythm. They believed that Eriksen adapted to Tottenham's rhythm and could not follow the rhythm of Arsenal. Arsenal’s tough tactical fusion!”

"But judging from their performance after the start of the game, they don't have to worry about this problem at all. The Danish midfielder has integrated very well, even much better than we imagined!"

Eriksen's successful integration into Arsenal is very important to Arsenal fans and many fans in the Premier League who are looking forward to Eriksen.

Judging from the current situation, Eriksen's performance at Arsenal is very good.

Even Mourinho on the sidelines nodded repeatedly. He was obviously very satisfied with the performance of the Danish midfielder.

After Arsenal scored, they took the initiative in the game.

But for Manchester City, they must use more intense offense to break Arsenal's advantage.

"Don't be affected by the other person's rhythm."

David Silva reminded his teammates loudly.

Aguero also came to the center circle holding the ball.

After Arsenal finished celebrating, Manchester City also quickly kicked off.

After the game restarted, Manchester City's rhythm became more intense.

The ball began to pass to De Bruyne frequently.

With De Bruyne as the core, they began to involve Arsenal's defense.

This time, Arsenal did not retreat to defend like before, but actively fought for it.

This puts a lot of pressure on Manchester City during the push. They know very well that if any mistakes or accidents occur, Arsenal can counterattack.

Intense pressing requires abundant physical strength.

Arsenal's physical training in pre-season training has had an effect.

Even Eriksen is running around a lot.

Compared with the Tottenham period, Eriksen's running has become more active.

Sometimes he even has to run to the back line to catch the ball.

Of course, he also meant to make room for Lucky.

His retreat will inevitably affect Lucai's move forward.

Although Eriksen is the offensive organizer in the frontcourt, the core of the entire team is still Lucky.

"Go up and grab him!"

Lucky directed Eriksen to press forward, and he ran towards De Bruyne.

Currently, the safe balls that David Silva can choose are De Bruyne and the retreating Sterling.

But Lucky and Kanter have begun to get involved.

With Eriksen's pressure, David Silva's choice is crucial.

If he were a few years younger, David Silva would probably choose to go it alone, but now he no longer has this ability.

To do this, after pulling out the space, he directly started a long pass.

He wanted to find Aguero in the frontcourt and directly pose a threat to Arsenal's goal.

The placement of this pass was very good, but Aguero was entangled by Hummels.

I have to mention Hummels’ experience here.

When Lucky and others restricted David Silva's ball route, he had already begun to move forward to mark Aguero.

Based on this judgment, he and Aguero almost reached the landing point with their front and rear feet.

Aguero relied on Hummels to stop the ball. Since he was fighting for it, the confrontation was particularly fierce, which also made Aguero's stop very unstable.

The ball failed to be directly controlled by his feet, and when he wanted to follow up, Eriksen suddenly came out from the side and poked the ball away.

"Erickson!

Why is he here? "

Everyone looked at Erikson in surprise.

No one thought that Eriksen, who was still pressing David Silva before, would retreat to such a deep position.

And in such a short period of time.

However, with his retreat, Arsenal's counterattack pattern became clear.

Eriksen passed the ball directly forward to Lucky.

When Lucky did not retreat in the frontcourt, Arsenal directly formed a counterattack situation.

Compared with the tactics led by Eriksson that involve the defense line, Lucky is more direct.

After receiving the ball, he first dribbled laterally, stretching the entire Manchester City defense.

When the gap widened, Lucky turned sideways and twisted his ankle to send the ball forward.

The entire ball followed a reverse angle and passed between the two central defenders.

Laporte also wanted to intercept during this period, but he stretched out his foot, but it was lonely enough.

A very sharp cross shot.

The ball was sent to the inside of the penalty area, an extremely dangerous position.

In defense, Giroud made strides forward.

"Kay!

A wonderful diagonal kick!

Giroud is very fast! He got rid of Otamendi, he entered the penalty area, and Giroud hit the goal!

"

Andy Gray cheered loudly.

Under the cheers, the ball stuck to the ground and rolled towards the far corner.

Goalkeeper Moraes stretched out his foot as much as possible, but still couldn't reach it.

The ball hit the side net and rolled into the goal.

In the 29th minute, Arsenal ushered in their second goal.

This goal came only 5 minutes after the previous goal.

Manchester City conceded two goals in a row, which caused the entire stadium to become silent.

Arsenal fans were stunned and suddenly burst into violent cheers.

Two goals in a row, and they were scored so easily.

This made them extremely excited.

For Manchester City fans, after these two goals, their hearts became extremely bitter.

They have failed for two seasons now, and that's all because of defeat at Arsenal.

And now they may have to experience it a third time.

Conceding two goals in this game caused the fans' mentality to change.

At the beginning, they still had some confidence when they played Arsenal.

They want to see changes, they want to see some different games.

But none of these!

Arsenal's two consecutive goals told them that, just like last season, they were still at a disadvantage.

The Manchester City players also looked disappointed.

They didn't even know what was going on. They conceded two goals in a row, which was a huge blow to them.

"Arsenal seems to be getting stronger this season."

Andy Gray said with emotion; "The Gunners' midfielder is already top-notch, but on this basis, Mourinho has further strengthened it, which is already close to perfection!"

"Eriksson + Kay! These two can control each other both offensively and defensively!"

"Their frequent changes of positions will also give their opponents a different rhythm. While disrupting the opponent's defense, it will also give them a great sense of discomfort."

"Just like Manchester City in this game, they didn't know what happened, but the result was two goals in a row."

"Four shooting opportunities, two goals!"

"Arsenal's ability to seize opportunities has become even stronger this season."
