Chapter 81 Big Giroud

"Foden's long shot!!! Ah~~~~The ball slightly deviated from the goal, but it still posed a great threat!"

"In this game, Manchester City did not choose to let De Bruyne start, but let Foden become the breakthrough player on the wing, which also made Manchester City's overall offensive firepower more rapid after the opening!"

Commentator Andy Gray cheered excitedly.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City came up with a world wave that was just a little bit away. Foden's shot was almost forced to hit Kante, but the quality was very high.

The ball had a clear drop in the air. If it had shrunk a little towards the inside, Buffon might not have been able to react.

However, this shot failed to hit the goal frame, which also allowed Arsenal to avoid a danger.

Manchester City vented its firepower crazily at the beginning of the game. Although this was expected before the game, Manchester City's fierce firepower was still surprising.

Arsenal's defense is no joke, but even under this pressure, they can still use continuous passes to get the chance to shoot.

Of course, long shots also test the players' shooting skills.

But for Manchester City players, they feel something is a little wrong.

Compared with the past, Arsenal's defensive strength seems to have decreased a bit.

Although there is no significant weakening in pressing and intercepting, there are some gaps in the choice of position, which also allows them to pass the ball better.

Is it an illusion?

Manchester City players shook their heads and stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, they can rely on this mode to continue to pressure Arsenal.

On the other side, Arsenal goalkeeper Buffon also placed the ball on the small penalty area line, and he kicked the ball to the full-back Bellerin.

At the beginning, Manchester City pressed forward and pressed as a whole.

Bellerin originally planned to pass the ball to Kante or Aubameyang who retreated, but both were watched dead.

In this case, he could only pass the ball sideways to Jimenez behind him.

Jimenez passed the ball to Hummels and moved to the other side.

Manchester City's pressure also shifted direction, and this time it was more fierce. The two rushed directly to Hummels.

In desperation, Hummels could only choose to transfer again.

But Manchester City still did not relax and pressed forward madly.

This also put great pressure on Arsenal's defense.

"Arsenal can't pass the ball, Manchester City's pressure is very strong, and the pressure is very sufficient."

As the commentator said, it was difficult for Arsenal to get the ball forward at this time.

At this time, Lekai began to retreat.

He began to pass the ball with his back to the body. Although he did not pass it forward, he still stabilized the pass.

At the same time, Lekai kept retreating, and even retreated to the position of the back line.

The next second, Lekai received the ball forward, and Foden, who was rushing towards the full-back, immediately turned his head and rushed towards Lekai.

Sure enough, at this time, Hummels passed the ball to Lukay.

"Got it!"

Gundogan's eyes lit up and he immediately moved forward.

But Lukay's movements were still so slow, as if he didn't see the opponent's pressure.

When he was about to touch the ball, Foden also rushed over.

At this moment, Lukay suddenly stepped forward, without any intention of touching the ball at all, and directly let the ball pass.

And Robertson on the wing received the ball forward.

At this time, Foden was attracted by Lukay, and Robertson had no pressure, so he passed the ball forward to Mane.

Seeing this scene, applause broke out at the scene.

This applause was for Lukay, who took the initiative to retreat, relieving the pressure of Manchester City's high-pressure defense, and also allowing Arsenal to successfully pick up the ball.

But at this time, Lukay did not stop, he continued to move forward, following Mane all the way.

When Mane was about to go down and there was no space to pass the ball, Lukay pulled the side to respond and directly passed the ball with a big foot.

"Beautiful!"

This time even Andy Gray couldn't help but admire it.

Whether it was the active retreat to respond to high pressure or the transfer after encountering a blockage in the attack.

Lekai completed the work of organizing the connection to the fullest.

When the ball was transferred, Aubameyang stopped the ball steadily and passed it to Eriksson who was advancing. He suddenly started to go behind Manchester City's full-back Kyle Walker.

Kyle Walker's reaction was fast, but the problem was that he reacted too fast.

When Aubameyang made a move, he turned around.

But the next second, Aubameyang stopped.

And in this gap, Eriksson started directly and drilled into the penalty area through the gap. He saw him swing his calf and poke the ball with a very imaginative toe. The ball was very fast and the shooting action was very concealed.

However, the Manchester City goalkeeper was in a good position. Although he reacted a little slower, he still shot the ball out of the baseline.

"Eriksen! Shoot!"

Andy Gray also shouted after realizing it, and then he looked regretful.

This toe-poking ball is very imaginative and threatening.

If it was a ground ball, the goalkeeper probably wouldn't be able to catch it.

But Eriksen failed to hold the ball.

But this imagination is already very good.

Arsenal got the first corner kick of the game.

Eriksen took the initiative to run to the corner kick point, and Lukay and others also came to the top of the arc, ready to compete for the header.

Giroud kept turning his head to look at Lukay to confirm the position.

They can’t overlap, they have to spread out and bring threats.

Eriksson took a corner kick at the whistle.

The ball flew very flat and slow, but the landing point was very accurate, almost heading towards Giroud.

“Danger!!”

Stones yelled, he just wanted to stop Giroud, but the latter roared forward like a tiger.

“Mine!!”

This is an unquestionable roar, indicating absolute autonomy.

Giroud widened his eyes and rushed to the landing point under the pressure of the opponent. At this time, he couldn’t jump, but Eriksson’s cross ball didn’t require him to jump.

Giroud was pulled by the opponent and shook his head to meet the ball.

The ball flew diagonally downward to the right.

And this position happened to be the opposite direction of the Manchester City goalkeeper’s movement, and he couldn’t turn around at the first time.

Everyone could only watch the ball hit the bottom and bounce into the goal.

Swish! ! ! ! ——

The ball touched the net.

The whole stadium was filled with silence.

Soon, the referee pointed to the center circle and blew the whistle.

Just 4 minutes into the game, Arsenal scored a goal from the first corner kick.

Giroud's goal helped Arsenal take the lead.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The Arsenal fans in Wembley Stadium cheered wildly.

They cheered excitedly, this goal came too unexpectedly.

They thought it was a fierce battle and the goal would come very late.

But no one expected that just four minutes after the kick-off, Arsenal scored a goal in the second attack in a strict sense.

This sudden goal also startled the commentator Zhan Jun, but he soon shouted excitedly:

"The king of heaven and the tiger of earth, look at me, Giroud!!!"

"Giroud is too crazy this season! He has become the most threatening firepower outlet of the Arsenal team. His ability to control opportunities, he turns every shell delivered by his teammates into a threatening attack, and even a goal!"

"We have reason to believe that this player has become one of the world's top shooters in Arsenal!"

"Look at his performance! Unstoppable strong impact, crazy goal-scoring ability and opportunity grasping ability!"

"This is Oliver Giroud! !——"

Amid the boiling cheers of the entire Wembley Stadium, Arsenal players celebrated wildly.

As for Manchester City players, they were still confused about this goal.

Fernandinho even roared at Stones.

"That's your defensive area, you should hold him back, even if it's a foul, you can't let him touch the ball!"

Stones also pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew it was his own problem. There were some mistakes in his position, and he also failed to limit Giroud in the first time.

Although Fernandinho came up, he couldn't limit Giroud at all under the overly reluctant defense.

The appearance of this goal was a mistake of their back line.

They failed to keep an eye on the people, and the one they failed to keep an eye on was the most dangerous Giroud.

After losing the ball, the Manchester City players were a little discouraged, but they were also constantly adjusting their own state.

Although they were behind by one goal, the game had just begun, right?

They had plenty of time to turn the situation around.
