Glory Greenery

574 Chapter 559
After the score came to [-]-[-], it seemed that the players of both teams were exhausted by this crazy attack. In the next few minutes, the two sides did not score again.

In the end, when the referee blew the final whistle, the score was fixed at 6-6!

"The game is over. Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain scored a total of 12 games in this game, breaking the record for the most goals in a single game in the history of the Champions League!"

"Although there is no winner in this game, from another perspective, both teams are winners!"

"Twelve goals, the two teams teamed up to present a wonderful offensive battle to all the watching fans."

"But in the end, I would like to congratulate Manchester City for qualifying first in the group with their points advantage."

"Five days later, we will draw for the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. At that time, fans can watch the live broadcast of the round of 16 through Penguin Sports."

……

With Huang Jianxiang's commentary, this rare Champions League match came to an end.

But the game is over, but the aftermath of this Champions League group stage has just begun to ferment.

12 goals in a single game, no matter what game it is in, it is worthy of everyone's special mention.

What's more, this game still took place in the Champions League group stage, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in this strong team matchup.

But amidst the heated discussions in the media, the Manchester City team hurried back from France to the UK, not even returning to Manchester, and flew directly to London.

Two days later, it will be the first battle with Arsenal. After a battle with Paris Saint-Germain, there is no time for Manchester City to travel between the two places.

When he came to London, Pellegrini didn't dare to arrange too many training tasks for the players, mainly letting the players rest.

Now for Manchester City, the biggest problem is not to deal with Arsenal's tactics. Naturally, Pellegrini will not wait until now to consider this issue.

The biggest problem now is the physical fitness of Manchester City players.

To what extent is this game going to play against Arsenal? Is it necessary to win regardless of the physical fitness of the players?
The game is indeed the top game, but Manchester City will not lose the top position if they lose the score.

In the 15 rounds of the league, Manchester City has 13 wins and 2 draws, with a total of 41 points,

As the second place in the standings, Arsenal has 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with only 35 points.

Even if Manchester City prepares for the worst in this game and loses the game, they can still maintain a 3-point advantage over Arsenal in the standings.

Of course, the more points, the safer Manchester City's top position.

But the question is, if this game is too fierce against Arsenal, what will happen to the Club World Cup after that.

From the perspective of Manchester City at this time, the sixth championship of the Club World Cup is obviously more important than the 3 points in the league.

After all, the honor of six crowns is unprecedented in the Premier League, and it is commendable in the whole of Europe.

The most important thing is that the game in December will continue after the Club World Cup. Once Manchester City's main players have physical problems, it is very likely that they will collapse after the Christmas game.

After all, with the bad weather in the UK, once the players are overtired, the chance of injury is no joke.

After December every year, it is a period of high incidence of Premier League player injuries.

Therefore, after coming to London, Pellegrini fell into such a dilemma.

And the game starts immediately, leaving little time for Pellegrini to think about it.

On the night of the 13th, the next day was the match against Arsenal. Pellegrini asked Yang Mo for an interview.

"Yang, I'm going to rotate the team tomorrow, but I'm going to let you start. If you have physical problems, you can..."

Before Pellegrini finished speaking, Yang Mo interrupted with a smile: "Mr. Coach, you don't have to worry about my physical problems. I will help the team win the game tomorrow."

Pellegrini: "Just work hard. After all, to some extent, the next Club World Cup is more important to us and needs you more."

Yang Mo: "I understand this, coach, don't worry."

February 12, Emirates Stadium.

The much-anticipated Premier League No. 16 round of focus battle, Manchester City, No. [-] in the standings, and Arsenal, second in the standings, officially started with the referee's whistle.

In this game, Arsenal, which does not need multi-line combat, sent a main lineup to play, assuming that they will win the game at home to the death.

On the Manchester City side, they sent a rotation lineup led by Yang Mo.

Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Yaya Toure are all on the bench.

With the 451 defensive formation on the field, it is obvious that Manchester City is going to rely entirely on Yang Mo's counterattack ability in this top battle.

Everyone said that Manchester City suffered from Yang Mo's dependence, so in this top game, Manchester City told everyone thoroughly that we have to rely on Yang Mo.

In this game, Arsenal took the lead. In the first wave of offense at the beginning, Arsenal played very proactively.

Ozil, who played well this season, cooperated with Ramsey in the previous court. Ozil knocked back outside the penalty area, and Ramsey went forward to shoot. If Navas hadn't reacted in time, a diving save would have The ball was blocked and Arsenal almost took the lead in the opening game.

Next, Arsenal continued their strong offensive, launching wave after wave of offensives against Manchester City.

As for Manchester City, Yang Mo, who is the starting center forward, has been unable to score a goal because of the lack of cooperation between the striker and his teammates despite getting several opportunities.

After all, the current Premier League teams have basically achieved the ultimate in his defense, and it is basically impossible to rely on the opponent's carelessness to score goals.

Although Arsenal's offense is fierce, they will not forget the big threat of Yang Mo.

When the time came to 37 minutes in the first half, Arsenal, who had been attacking all the time, finally found a chance to score.

Ozil was fouled by Thiago Silva, the referee awarded a free kick.

Ozil personally took the penalty and hoisted the football into the Manchester City penalty area. The 198 cm German full-back Mertesacker jumped up and broke the deadlock with a header to help Arsenal lead Manchester City 1-0.

Zhan Jun: "Mertesacker scored with a header...the goal scored and Arsenal took the lead by one goal."

"Manchester City's tactics in this game are very passive. They are completely different from the previous game against Paris Saint-Germain, especially in the midfield. They gave Yang Mo too little support."

Guidance Zhang: "There is no way. The last game against Paris Saint-Germain was too exhausting. Pellegrini must have a rotation in this game, otherwise the next Club World Cup will not be played."

"Although the league is very important to Manchester City, winning the Club World Cup will create the first six Premier League titles, so Manchester City must be more inclined to focus on the subsequent Club World Cup."

"Such a choice..."

Before Director Zhang finished speaking, Zhan Jun suddenly let out an exclamation.

"No, this ball is a bit dangerous..."

Accompanied by Zhan Jun's words, on the broadcast screen, Ozil made a precise arc pass from the right, and just sent the ball to Arsenal striker Giroud in the penalty area.

Without stopping the ball, Giroud pushed and shot straight to the near point.

Navas, despite desperate saves, was still powerless to stop the shot and watched the football fly into the goal.

"In the 39th minute of the first half, Ozil passed in seconds, Giroud shot, Arsenal led Manchester City by two goals."

"Two goals in two minutes, will Pellegrini make a substitution in this case?"

Accompanied by Zhan Jun's words, Yang Mo on the field put his hands on his hips and looked serious.
