Chapter 575 A Reliable Temperament

Pellegrini did not make personnel adjustments. Arsenal can play the main force in this game, but Manchester City cannot be unscrupulous.

Arsenal's English League Cup has been abandoned, and the FA Cup has not yet started. There is only one Champions League group match outside the league in December, and the schedule can be described as quite easy.

If you fight against such an Arsenal, even if you win, Manchester City will not be able to play in the next five games.

Therefore, Pellegrini can only put his hope of victory on the players on the field, especially Yang Mo.

However, Manchester City, which has been unable to gain an advantage in the midfield, has given Yang Mo too little help behind him, so Yang Mo has not been able to find any decent opportunities.

But even so, Yang Mo did not give up his efforts.

If his teammates can't give him too much help, then he will try his best to run out of opportunities. Arsenal attaches great importance to his defense, but it doesn't mean that he can completely restrict him.

In the 44th minute of the first half, seeing that the game was about to enter the 2-minute stoppage time, Arsenal seemed to be satisfied with a two-goal lead and began to control the ball in the backcourt, preparing to enter the intermission like this.

Arsenal are satisfied, but Manchester City are not.

Especially Yang Mo, he didn't want Arsenal to live so comfortably, so he stepped forward decisively and started harassing.

Relying on his extraordinary speed, the two players defending him were tired of running, and even the players who were in possession of the ball were frightened by him.

As soon as he saw him rushing over, he immediately chose to play the ball, without giving him a chance to harass him at all.

And it was under Yang Mo's constant running and pressure that Arsenal's pass finally made a mistake.

Ramsey, who defeated Yang Mo and took the best of the month before, faced Yang Mo who was rushing like a strong wind, and under nervousness, a diagonal pass deviated.

Silva, who cooperated with Yang Mo in the frontcourt, accelerated and intercepted the ball directly.

At this time, the game time has officially entered stoppage time.

The first half was over with less than 2 minutes left.

After seeing Silva stealing the ball, the tacit understanding over the past two years made Yang Mo instinctively speed up and run forward, throwing off a group of defenders and heading to the front of Arsenal's penalty area.

At this time, Silva's pass flew in front of Yang Mo like a precisely guided missile.

The two Arsenal central defenders Mertesacker and Koscielny stepped forward to block Yang Mo from receiving the ball, but they were rushed aside by Yang Mo's explosive force.

After successfully breaking through the barrier, Yang Mo rushed to the spot where the football landed, and prepared to hit the goal in the air before the football landed.

But at this moment, Yang Mo suddenly felt a huge force coming from his upper body, and then he fell on his back into the restricted area.

beep—

The referee blew his whistle.

"Szczesny pounced on Yang Mo! When Yang Mo was about to hit the goal in the penalty area, Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny used a rugby interception to pounce on Yang Mo!"

"This is definitely a foul! There is no doubt that the referee blew his whistle and Szczesny must pay for his actions..."

Zhan Jun was extremely annoyed by Szczesny's foul.

It was hard to see that Yang Mo had a chance to score, but was interrupted by Szczesny in such a bad way. How could Zhan Jun, who is a fan of Yang Mo, not be annoyed.

Szczesny's actions were undisguised, and the referee was not blind.

After blowing the whistle, the referee trotted all the way to Szczesny, took out a yellow card from his pocket, showed it to Szczesny, and then pointed to the penalty spot.

"Penalty! Penalty!"

"Szczesny's irrational behavior not only allowed him to receive a yellow card, but also gave Manchester City a valuable penalty."

"The first half of the game is about to end. As long as Manchester City can seize this opportunity, they can recover a point."

"We can see that Yang Mo is heading towards the penalty spot. This is undoubtedly the most correct choice for Manchester City, because Yang Mo always has a reassuring temperament..."

Accompanied by Zhan Jun's words, Yang Mo stood outside the penalty area, took a deep breath and started to run.

In the surrounding stands, Arsenal fans booed frantically, hoping to interfere with Yang Mo's free throw.

However, Yang Mo, who has long been used to such small scenes, did not move at all. Amidst the boos at the Emirates Stadium, he scored with a left-footed shot and helped Manchester City chase the score to 2-1.

Zhan Jun: "The goal was scored. For Yang Mo's penalty kick, this was originally expected."

"At the end of the first half, Yang Mo stood up again and helped Manchester City get back a point."

Guidance Zhang: "It's a good thing for Manchester City to lose one goal to lead. After all, one goal is better than two goals. The most important thing is that mentality is two different things."

After scoring the penalty kick, Yang Mo simply hugged and celebrated with his teammates.

Immediately afterwards, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the first half entered the intermission with 2-1.

Although Arsenal had been in control of the field in the first half and still led the score, Yang Mo's final penalty undoubtedly made Arsenal understand that the game did not end early.

Half-time break, inside the Manchester City dressing room.

Pellegrini was asking Yang Mo with a concerned face: "Yang, in the second half, I hope you can improve your running..."

As soon as Pellegrini said this, Yang Mo understood that the old coach was worried about his physical fitness because of his running in the first half.

Yang Mo knew that Pellegrini hoped that he would devote more energy to the Club World Cup, and was worried that if he worked too hard in this game, his state would be poor in the next game.

"Coach, I will pay attention to my physical fitness, don't worry, if there is really no chance, I will not force it."

Speaking of this, Yang Mo said with a smile: "If there is a chance, I also hope to fulfill my promise to you and help the team win a victory."

"You are always so reliable."

Hearing Yang Mo's words, Pellegrini expressed his gratitude.

To be honest, it is the first time Pellegrini has seen a player like Yang Mo who is hardworking, self-disciplined, outstanding in technique and trustworthy after coaching for so many years.

The two teams are ready for the second half of the work, and the second half of the game is coming soon.

After the start of the game, Arsenal still continued the tactics of the first half, focusing on offense.

Facing Manchester City with a rotation lineup, despite the presence of Yang Mo, Arsenal are not afraid at all.

Wenger is obviously very clear that if he doesn't win the game when Manchester City is short of major generals, Arsenal will not be so comfortable next time they face Manchester City, who is the main force.

As for Yang Mo, after completing that attack in the first half, Arsenal's defense against him became tighter and tighter, which made it difficult for Yang Mo to find opportunities.

But at the beginning of the second half, Yang Mo has no plans to give up for the time being, after all, his current physical fitness has not yet reached the warning value.
