Chapter 128 Wenger's Abacus Frustrated

In the middle of the week, the quarter-finals of the Champions League started in full swing.

Manchester City's first guest and then the host, the schedule is favorable.

Manchester United, who took the lead in the game, beat Lyon 2-0 at home. Rooney scored twice, and Manchester United also took the lead.

The defending champion AC Milan defeated Deportivo 4:1, and is walking in the setting of the script.

Pirlo was radiant, with four goals, all of which were assisted by him.

This is really a good era, with countless stars, each shining brightly.

I don't know what kind of script Deportivo will interpret for us next.

The next two games also attracted much attention. Real Madrid played Monaco at home, and the advantage should be obvious. Real Madrid fans believed that there was no problem for the team to win.

The battle between Manchester City and Arsenal is more evenly matched.

Who wins and who loses is unpredictable.

As the match day approached, players from both sides stepped into the Highbury Stadium.

Manchester City's main lineup has changed. Van Persie and Crouch partnered to form a double forward.

The league was suspended, and Van Persie held back for a long time. In this game, he became a special weapon.

Kaka returned to the position of right midfielder. This is another change. Mourinho has a lot of tricks.

The three defensive midfielders joined forces again, obviously to lock down Arsenal's offense.

Jia Yi was sitting in the box in the stands, and he was looking forward to Manchester City's performance today. Wenger said it, so Manchester City must respond, right?
In the opening 5 minutes, Van Persie received the ball from the side and forced a breakthrough. After cutting in, he volleyed from a small angle.

Crouch came up to make a supplementary shot, and Lehman reacted quickly, jumped high, and took the ball off Crouch's head.

In 9 minutes, Kaka forced a breakthrough from the right, cut inside and then sent to the back point.

Van Persie volleyed the ball, and the ball was blocked by Campbell from the bottom line with his body.

Campbell lost his breath and didn't get up for a long time.

The Arsenal team doctor rushed into the field, and Campbell was alive for a while before recovering.

In the subsequent corner kick, Campbell fell to the top, but Ferreira behind him was not prepared and headed the ball over the crossbar.

Ferreira also slapped his forehead, not sure if it hurt or not, but it was a pity anyway.

In the first 10 minutes, Manchester City got several opportunities and the offensive was fierce.

This is uncharacteristically, and it breaks Arsenal's established tactics a bit.

Arsenal's pressing is not very limited, because Manchester City's offense is very smooth, basically one kick out of the ball, so that Arsenal players have nowhere to use.

To deal with those who are not good at passing the ball, pressing is useful, and it is easy to make the opponent panic, but how can this group of Manchester City players panic?The offense in the first 10 minutes is to attack a wave. If you can score a goal, you will play well later.

After 10 minutes, Manchester City took the initiative to recover, and began to enter the traditional rhythm again, anti-reverse!
In this away game, Manchester City can accept 0:0, but for Arsenal, it is not necessarily so.

At home, Arsenal will definitely want to win the game.

So, Arsenal went on the offensive.

Taking advantage of the small cooperation between Henry, Pires, Cheng Tao, and Bergkamp, ​​Arsenal's offensive power is not small. Compared with the last confrontation, Manchester City is obviously more difficult this time.

In 13 minutes, Bergkamp's ball in the penalty area made Ferreira fall to the ground in embarrassment. Fortunately, Cech's attack was very timely and blocked Bergkamp's shooting angle.

In the 16th minute, Bergkamp also cooperated with Henry in a very small area of ​​​​the penalty area. Henry's subsequent shot was once again bravely saved by Petr Cech.

Highbury sighed continuously, the rhythm of the game was very good, but it was a pity that Petr Cech broke their dream.

In the 19th minute, Henry once again threw off Ferreira through the crotch at close range. Facing Carvalho's down-to-the-ground block, he unexpectedly dunked again calmly. Then, he raised his foot and pushed the far corner. Cech had no choice but to surrender, but But the ball accidentally hit the post and popped out of the bottom line!

"Hey!"

Arsenal fans are heartbroken.

After 20 minutes, the tempo on the court started to slow down a bit.

After all, everyone is still very cautious in the knockout round.

Manchester City likes this kind of rhythm very much. Slowly, Manchester City's defense can be more calm, but Arsenal's offense is also very patient, and there are still many exciting scenes.

In the 25th and 27th minutes, Henry broke through from the side, once he shot himself, and once passed to Bergkamp, ​​both of which were saved by Petr Cech.

Henry is indeed in good form, this is his peak season.

But it is a pity that he met Cech who is like a god, and his efforts were in vain.

On the other hand, Mourinho is grateful that his team has a legendary goalkeeper. If he changes, he may not be able to keep it.

Wenger is naturally very depressed. If they can't beat Manchester City at home, it will be even more difficult for Arsenal to play away. I'm afraid that time will have to play a rogue, and they will also set up a bus in front of the goal, and then decide who can advance to the semi-finals through a penalty shootout. .

As soon as Jia saw the current scene, he also felt that Manchester City should have a chance to bring back 1 point today.

Wenger's Champions League tragedy will continue to be staged, he will not have the life of the Champions League champion.

No way to score, no matter how good the team is in the knockout round, it will end in regret.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City suddenly launched a long pass. Crouch took a header back from the front court, then quickly turned around after landing, wiped Campbell, and then fell to the ground before Lehmann. The ball rolled from the left side of Lehmann. Passed the past, slowly rolled into the goal, 0:1!

Manchester City took the lead!
This time, it is difficult for Arsenal.

Manchester City players rushed to Crouch and embraced together excitedly. This away goal was of great significance and gave Manchester City the upper hand in this series.

Thousands of Manchester City fans also celebrated passionately in the stands. This trip to London was not in vain.

Mourinho also raised his arms and shouted excitedly, appearing a little out of control.

In another contest with Wenger, he finally took the lead. After a season of confrontation, he, a newcomer in the Premier League, killed the legendary coach Wenger. Of course, he is still full of pride.

Wenger on the sidelines was a bit disappointed. Crouch's goal was indeed a manifestation of his personal ability. Just such a long pass, Crouch turned it into a goal.

Arsenal's previous defense was still very tight to Crouch, but who would have thought that this big man would actually make such a complicated escape move?
The last rush to shoot this shot is even more alert. He is really a natural shooter.

Jia Yi, on the other hand, is proud that Crouch was completely cultivated by himself. After being inherited by Su Ke, Crouch's golf quotient has been raised to a new height, which is why he has performed even more bravely this season.

I'm afraid this kid will become a legend in the future, and now I don't know his worth, whether it has exceeded 5000 million pounds.

If someone is willing to pay, Jia Yi will sell it too.

After all, if he can train a Crouch, he can also train the next Olic, Mandzukic and so on.

Now Arsenal's tactics will definitely be adjusted again, and they will definitely attack with all their strength. In this way, there will be more opportunities for Manchester City to counterattack. As long as Manchester City can seize the opportunity, maybe this game can handle Arsenal and completely end the series. suspense.

Sure enough, Wenger started to warm up people.

The Spanish teenager Reyes, who was introduced during the winter break, started his activities. Will his speed become a sharp weapon for Arsenal to counterattack?
Manchester City is still playing steadily and has no intention of adjusting the lineup.

Several defensive midfielders played very well, there is no need to adjust, and there is no way to adjust the defense line. Although Ferre has a lot of situations, no one can play now.

Mourinho pulled Carvalho and whispered a few words to him, apparently to tell him about the defense.

The point is to strangle Henry to death.

Carvalho was played by Henry many times in the first half. Now as the game progresses, Mourinho hopes that Carvalho can gain some experience and defend Henry well.

Once Henry was strangled, Arsenal's offense was half dead.

Will it be up to Manchester City then?
