Chapter 109: Intense Attack and Defense Transition!

In the camera, the expressions of Manchester City players are very solemn.

They have just lost the league championship, and Arsenal has robbed them of multiple championships many times before. For this reason, the psychological pressure at this time is particularly great.

They don't want to be trampled under Arsenal's feet all the time. If they can't play a comeback, they will be very uncomfortable.

The same is true for Guardiola.

If he doesn't win the championship for two years, it will be difficult for him to explain to the club.

Although all Premier League teams are like this because of Arsenal, as an ambitious head coach, he doesn't want to give up the championship.

At the same time, he is also very troubled by the current Arsenal.

As the founder of the Dream Three Dynasty, he once went through the European arena for a period of time. At that time, wherever he led Barcelona, ​​there was no discomfort.

Now the status is reversed, he tasted the feeling of frustration at the beginning.

Facing such a complete Arsenal, this almost historical level of strength, a dynasty-level team, he really has no confidence to say that he can win.

In the face of Arsenal, not only the players, but also Audiola, the head coach, was under tremendous pressure.

However, the opponent was already in front of them, and all they could do was face it and strive to win.

In this game, Manchester City's elite players went in and out in order to win the game.

He believed that Manchester City's attack was still effective for Arsenal. As long as they could shake Arsenal's defense and interfere with their efforts in the second half, Manchester City could win the game.

The most important thing is not to let the rhythm follow Arsenal.

Even if you can't control the rhythm, you have to disrupt it.

Try to create chaos and then win in chaos.

Amid the intense cheers from the scene, players from both sides began to enter the field.

Having just won the league championship, the Arsenal players were full of vigor and vitality, and the whole person looked radiant.

Although the expressions of Manchester City players were more serious, they also contained fighting spirit.

The captains of both sides, Lucky and David Silva, guessed the sides.

Manchester City was lucky. They won the right to choose the side and asked for the right to kick off.

For Manchester City, from the first moment of the game, they had to try to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm. It was a good start for this.

After the captains of both sides shook hands with the referees, they came to their respective half.

The cheers of the fans on both sides became more intense.

Under the intense cheers, the enthusiasm of the players was instantly aroused, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Under the attention of the public, the opening whistle sounded and Jesus kicked off.

"This is the final of the FA Cup in the 2019/2020 season, Arsenal VS Manchester City, this game is explained for you at Wembley Stadium."

"In this game, both sides are determined to win. Will Arsenal continue its excellent state and continue to impact their sixth championship, or can Manchester City curb Arsenal's championship pace and win a championship for themselves?"

In the words of the commentator, the game officially started.

When the game started, Manchester City also quickly launched an attack.

Their offensive intention was very obvious. They kept sending the ball to the sidelines, and Mahrez and Sterling were there to attack the defense.

However, Sterling was still the same. When he faced Lucky, his overall performance was suppressed a lot.

Even Sterling, as a "lone ranger", became very willing to pass the ball.

This is also a rare scene. There is also a joke in the Premier League that Kai taught Sterling how to pass the ball.

Sterling couldn't get through here, but he could continue to attract Lucky's attention.

On the other side, Mahrez used constant passing and forward interlacing to threaten Arsenal's defense again and again.

However, this threat is also limited. After all, they can't really approach the penalty area. Arsenal's defenders are not just for show.

But when Manchester City entered the penalty area, their play suddenly changed.

The ball was directly distributed to the middle, and David Silva took a long shot in the penalty area.

This shot was powerful and heavy, and it went straight to the lower left corner.

Martinez made a desperate save and finally lifted the ball out of the baseline.

"Beautiful! David Silva made a wonderful long shot at the beginning of the game to threaten Arsenal's goal, and they also successfully got a corner kick opportunity."

"After Manchester City approached the penalty area, their tactics changed a bit. They were no longer keen on passing the ball, but were more decisive in shooting!"

"I think this change is good. They don't stick to passing the ball in, but shoot immediately when they have the chance to create a threat."

Andy Gray nodded to indicate the tactical adjustment made by Manchester City.

Even Kompany praised: "When facing Arsenal's chain defense, overly delicate passing in the front field will only affect the speed of advancement. It is better to shoot more decisively!"

"It's just a threatening shot!"

Henry said unhappily.

At this time, the Arsenal players in the field had retreated and were ready to compete for the header.

Le Kai paid attention to his defensive target on the one hand, and stared at the opponent's penalty kick player on the other hand.

When the opponent's penalty shooter took the penalty, Lekai suddenly started and rushed to the front point.

This was a half-high ball, passed directly to Mahrez.

Mahrez also turned sideways to shoot directly, but when he turned sideways, a figure suddenly passed by in front of him, and there was some collision between the two sides. Mahrez failed to keep his center of gravity and was directly squeezed away.

And Lekai took advantage of the situation to come to the first landing point, raised his knees and bounced the ball out with the instep of his feet.

This clearance was more like a pass, and the ball landed accurately at Eriksson's feet.

At the same time, the Arsenal players also ran wildly with their heads down and launched a fierce counterattack.

Manchester City players also turned back to defend instantly.

This moment is the moment of speed.

The ball was passed to Mane's feet. Arsenal used Mane's speed to quickly advance the ball, and at the same time wanted to involve the center of gravity of defense to the wing.

But Manchester City did not block, but retreated one after another to defend the position in the middle.

At the same time, Kyle Walker also retreated to catch up and limit. Mane passed the ball to Giroud. Giroud tried to shoot under pressure, and the ball was firmly held in the arms of Manchester City goalkeeper Morais.

But in an instant, Morais threw the ball again.

The ball was thrown to the midfield, and another quick counterattack was launched.

"After Arsenal's counterattack, Manchester City also began to advance quickly. The players who had just completed the 100-meter sprint need to turn back again!"

From the stands, fans can clearly see that the Arsenal players who have not yet reached the offensive position have turned around and started to retreat.

However, among them, Lekai did not retreat in a straight line, but rushed diagonally towards Sterling.

Sure enough, when De Bruyne passed the ball to Sterling, Lekai suddenly accelerated his pace, slid into the path of the ball, and finally intercepted the ball out of the sideline with his feet.

"Beautiful interception judgment!"

Andy Gray exclaimed loudly.

Every time I see Lekai's interception and steal, it is always so pleasing to the eye and natural and comfortable.

Lekai's defense is not like others, which is passive, but actively oppresses and drives away the opponent's pass, eventually forming an interception and steal situation.

The same was true for this interception. After his teammates blocked De Bruyne's forward passing channel, he could only pass to Sterling.

And Lucky seized this opportunity and decisively slid to complete the interception.

Not only did it disrupt Manchester City's attack, but it also bought precious time for Arsenal's retreat.

With Lucky's interception, Arsenal players did not have to run at full speed, but they also quickly retreated to their positions.

De Bruyne frowned.

He was very dissatisfied with the pass just now. On the one hand, the opponent blocked the passing line, and on the other hand, Lucky guessed his intention.

Manchester City lost a chance to counterattack, but they still controlled the ball, which was good news for them.

The game had just started, and both sides played a wonderful offensive and defensive battle.

From this attack, it can be seen that both sides have a great demand for the competition for the rhythm of the game, so the game will inevitably become more intense.

This can also be a feast for the eyes of the fans watching this game.
