Chapter 342: Fierce Competition ([-])

As the game progressed to a fierce stage, Manchester City scored another goal to further boost their morale. They wanted to use more goals to kill Arsenal's last line of psychological defense, reflecting their crazy home court with the lowest consumption.

And Arsenal also want to get the score back quickly again. After the opponent scored a goal before, they quickly equalized on their side, and Arsenal are now full of confidence in equalizing the score.

In the No. 12 minute of the game, Arsenal took the ball and attacked.Ramsey distributed the ball to Podolski wide, who took two steps on the touchline and was met by Yaya Toure.Instead of hitting the opponent hard, he kicked the ball to Gibbs behind him with his heel.

Gibbs took the ball and wanted to see the situation in the frontcourt, but was robbed by Navas who returned to the defense.Gibbs took a step forward with a fake move, and then immediately pulled the ball back when Navas was fooled to intercept.Taking advantage of this gap, he immediately handed the ball to Flamini who pulled over to meet him.

The French central midfielder took the ball and handed it to Ozil in front without saying a word, and then he followed Ramsey and advanced to support.Ozil took the ball slightly to the left of the center and encountered the double defense of Fernandinho and Kompany in an instant.

Manchester City obviously knows that Arsenal's frontcourt is now more organized by Ozil, so once the opponent's midfield playmaker is frozen, the opponent's offense will lose half of its threat.

Under such two excellent defenders, Ozil still did not change his face.Just when the two were pinching each other, a pass showed his ability and brilliance.

The ball slipped through the gap between Kompany and Fernandinho, and rolled behind them, and the two rushed into the air in an instant.

Kompany's reaction was quick, and he immediately transferred back to his position.However, someone is faster than him. Podolski and Ozil are good friends, and it goes without saying that they have a good understanding with each other.

So he used the shortest time to cut in from the sideline to get the ball. The sudden cut in without the ball caught Sabaletta a little by surprise, so he could only follow in immediately.

Podolski, who got the ball, took two steps forward and encountered Demichelis. When he saw Kompany leaving his position and Podolski appeared in this gap, the experienced Argentine central defender made a decisive move. Abandoned watching Giroud, ran over to fill holes for his partner.And Kompany turned around and knew that he might not be able to catch up with Podolski, but he was relieved to see Demichelis quickly intercepted in front of the opponent, and immediately ran to the left center back, that is, Demi Kelly's position made up for the loophole he left, that is, the responsibility of guarding the opponent's only center forward Giroud.

The cooperation between the two brought out the best in each other. Even after the commentator praised Ozil, he immediately praised the two powerful central defenders with their experience and abilities.

With obstacles in the front and wolves chasing soldiers behind, Podolski with the ball fell into a dangerous situation.If you rush forward, you can't quickly pass Demichelis, who is easy to see through the opponent's fake moves, and if you are not faster, you will immediately encounter the pinch defense of Sabaletta and Demichelis. The probability of the ball will be infinitely enlarged.

However, Podolski was not as anxious as the commentators thought. His excellent ability to read the game made him already confident.

Slowed down the speed of dribbling a little, and then slightly tried to walk on the inside, as if Demichelis, who was about to hit an "old" after a while, had a poor response and made an instant start.

However, Polti did make a quick move, but it was not a breakthrough with the ball that Demichelis thought he thought, but a pass.

A ground ball went to the sideline, that is, it passed Demichelis' right hand, and Demichelis, who subconsciously stretched out his foot, did not reach the ball.

The full-back Gibbs, who rushed up from the sideline quickly, got the ball behind Demichelis, because Zabaleta's inside cut wanted to pinch Podolski, but Gibbs' forward drive created opportunity.

Gibbs flicked the outside instep of his right foot, passed the ball, and followed with big strides.Without giving Demichelis a chance to turn back and defend himself, he entered the ribs of the penalty area with three steps and two runs.

Joe Hart attacked quickly, and Gibbs didn't stop the ball, so he swung his feet in a posture and shot.

"Gibbs! Good chance, shot!! Oops!!" The commentator said bitterly, "It went straight into the air. This ball is quite like Podolski's back then. What a pity, if this ball If Cazorla, Walter, Li Zihan or even Wilshere were to play, it wouldn’t be so bad, it’s a young man who fell to the ground, uh, a full-back to the ground.”

The commentator who wanted to say that Gibbs was too young suddenly realized that Wilshere and Walcott were about the same age as him, and Li Zihan was even younger than Gibbs, so he immediately changed his words.

Arsenal's offense did not start. Three minutes later, after the two sides fought in the midfield for a while, Manchester City ushered in a chance.

Yaya Toure intercepted the ball that Giroud was trying to pass wide out to Cazorla before handing it to David Silva.

David Silva turned brilliantly with the ball past Flamini before swinging away.

Sagna flung his braided hairstyle to grab the ball, and David Silva quickly handed the ball to Kolarov who put in an assist from the wing.Sagna immediately returned to the side to block the opponent, in case Kolarov himself dribbled the ball down the side without hindrance.

Kolarov did not break through with the ball to grab the work of the winger and winger, but passed it diagonally at 45 degrees behind Sagna, trying to pass it to David Silva in the gap.But Koscielny was the first to see through the opponent's intentions, got to the ball's landing position before David Silva, and got the ball.

Obviously, Koscielny was impressed by the second goal he conceded before, and the well-behaved French central defender immediately cleared the siege this time.

However, the ball that was originally driven to the midfield was taken off by Yaya Toure, who was on the way, and was pushed down abruptly with his head.The ball was pushed to the vicinity of Kolarov on the sideline, and the Serbian full-back withdrew from the ball and went further. He grabbed the ball before Sagna.

After getting the ball, instead of going to David Silva again, he sent it to Yaya Toure.The African midfield superstar got the ball in two steps. Faced with Ramsey's defense, Yaya Toure made a fake move from the outside line. When the young Welsh midfielder opened his legs, he used the ball. With a flick of the instep of the left foot, the ball passed between Ramsey's legs.

"Crotch!!! Yaya Toure is playing Ramsey!"

The crotch-piercing ball is undoubtedly a disgrace to the player who was crotch-piercing. After Yaya Toure sent the crotch-piercing ball, he wanted the ball to pass. ball.However, Ramsey grabbed the opponent, stretched his feet a little, and blocked the opponent's thigh with his thigh.

Yaya Toure was tripped by Ramsey and fell directly to the ground with his center of gravity unstable.

"Foul!! This is a tactical foul. Of course, it is not impossible to say that the old man becomes angry."

Ramsey's pull and trip was entirely out of tactical needs, because he knew that once Yaya Toure dribbled the ball, it would pose some threats to his players.Because it's not just Negredo and Aguero, even David Silva and Navas are in the dangerous area of ​​​​the backcourt.

If Yaya Toure is in the past, there will be a lot of room for choice, and the addition of an offensive player to the opponent will also have a great impact on the defense of his teammates.

The audience was booed and cursed by the Manchester City fans.

The referee came to the scene of the crime immediately, blew his whistle while running, and signaled the game to be suspended.

Ramsey stretched out his hand to pull Yaya Toure up to show his friendliness, then said something to Yaya Toure with a smile, and finally patted her on the shoulder, Yaya Toure also nodded .

The referee rushed over and without hesitation took out a yellow card to Ramsey as a warning.After observing that Yaya Toure is not injured, he pointed to the place where Ramsey fouled before and signaled Manchester City's free kick.

Ramsey quit, and immediately approached the referee to reason, thinking that the ball was not enough for a yellow card, and the referee's penalty was a bit harsh.

"Yellow card!! Ramsey got the first yellow card of the game! Ramsey's foul can be said to be a tactical foul, and it is not ruled out whether he will retaliate against Yaya Toure's crotch humiliation. The factors of the referee's attitude and scale are included. It's just a big loss. I think the Welsh people are now very clear about the referee's penalty scale."

"Ramsey was a little bit aggrieved, he was talking to the referee about something. Ramsey was supposed to be saying: 'Hey man, I pulled him up, we're friendly and harmonious, it shouldn't be a yellow card. Son.'" Uncle Zhan Jun is definitely not able to clearly know what the other party means from the movements of Ramsey's lips, these are just his own dubbing.

But in fact, it is really close to what Uncle Zhan Jun guessed.

Let Ramsey expend all kinds of words, the referee is generally unmoved like a "hard heart".He shook his finger firmly at Ramsey.

"The referee's meaning is: 'Dude, you should save some effort to play football. You have decided on this topaz God of War card!'" Uncle Zhan Jun once again dubbed the referee's actions.

The 29-year-old veteran's rich experience is not all in the judgment of the ball on the court or the judgment of the opponent's psychology and movements, as well as the observation of words and expressions.

The sharp-eyed Flamini had already seen some impatience in the referee's eyes, and immediately rushed over to block Ramsey, said something to the referee, and then quickly returned with Ozil. Ramsey, who was aggrieved and muttering non-stop, left.
