The rise of greenery

Arsenal third goalkeeper Martinez came off the bench.

The Argentine is 27 years old this year. In fact, he has rich experience and is not as good as Manchester City fans imagined.

It's just that it's hard to be the main force if you stay in a giant team like Arsenal.

With Cech's injury, he has actually become the No. [-] goalkeeper.

But Leno's performance is too stable, he has not had much chance to play.

Emery also doesn't like to make casual substitutions. Even in cup games, Leno is rarely used as a substitute. This season, Martinez got a chance to play in the Europa League.

But it didn't add up to a few games.

So although Martinez has rich experience, he lacks the experience of the game, and he is still a little nervous after coming up.

His first goal kick was sent directly to the opposing defender's feet, causing another Manchester City attack.

Manchester City defender Otamendi's long ball went directly to Aguero in front.

Aguero didn't stop the ball against the tall Papasta Thorpoulos, but chose a difficult move. He turned the ball up with his right foot, and the ball unexpectedly bypassed Papasta. Sopulos!

Although his partner Kolasinac came to assist him in time, he was still kicked by Aguero's sideways volley.

But it was precisely because of this interference that Aguero did not find a good shooting angle.

Martinez, who was standing on the goal line, grabbed the ball with his hands, but Martinez's reaction was still too slow, and the ball was dropped.

If it wasn't for Lichtsteiner's quick eyesight and quick hands, he kicked the ball directly out of the sideline, and the opponent might miss it again.

"A substitute is a substitute after all. The reaction just now is really a bit bad. I am really sweating for Arsenal."

Mendy on the left threw a depth bomb again. Gundogan, who came forward to assist, nodded the ball in front. The ball flew to the back. Elneny did not stare at De Bruyne, allowing De Bruyne to Hit the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.

But the ball was also blocked by Koscielny.

Koscielny kicked the ball out of the penalty area with a big foot.

The Arsenal defender is doing great.

But it seems that Arsenal's big penalty area is jittery and restless.

There is almost no counterattack.

Because there is no striker, Manchester City's defense easily won the ball again.

Luo Wu finally ran up, but other teammates did not come up, and he was very lonely in front alone.The other party even took the dog for a walk.

That's right.

Otamendi and Walker passed consecutively, but instead of passing the ball, they deliberately made things difficult for Luo Wu in the backcourt.

Luo Wu ran around and couldn't touch the ball at all.

But now that Arsenal is playing one less player, it is impossible for everyone to press up, and there is no other way. Luo Wu also gave up after chasing several times in a row, and walked back slowly.

Fernandinho boldly moved away from him and moved in before receiving a pass from Gundogan.

De Bruyne was asking for the ball, but Fernandinho didn't pass it.

He chose a long shot from outside the penalty area.

But the ball missed the goal and went straight out of the baseline.

Arsenal's substitute goalkeeper Martinez reacted quickly. As soon as the ball bounced back into the field, he immediately sent it to Koscielny on the left.

Koscielny quickly passed the ball to Ronaldo in front.

But soon Ronaldo was killed by De Bruyne and Vaxor, cutting off the route to Luo Wu.

The ball couldn't pass, Ronaldo could only pass the ball back, he couldn't handle De Bruyne and Walker alone.

Elneny takes the ball.

Luo Wu continued to retreat.

In the end, Elneny's pass was received in the backcourt, but Manchester City had already returned to defense.

It is still a bit difficult for Arsenal to push the ball to the frontcourt.

The main reason is that Luo Wu came back, and there was no one in front of him again.

Fernandinho was the first to reach Luo Wu. Luo Wu originally wanted to split the side, but Ronaldo and Saka responded too late, and finally chose to single out Fernandinho.

He first showed off his oxtail, but Fernandinho didn't hesitate. He followed up with a trick of cross-stitching, and finally let the ball pass through Fernandinho's crotch. .

He has eighteen kinds of weapons on his body, and there is no problem in single-handedly picking one person.

But Fernandinho obviously had experience in defense. Although he was passed by, he immediately turned around and held Luo Wu on his shoulders without thinking, and did not let Luo Wu pass.

This is a very standard tactical foul, the ball is too good, but he kept Luo Wu, and there is no danger of getting a card.

Luo Wu was quite depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, Fernandinho kicked the ball away immediately after the foul, and did not let the ball stay in place. Luo Wu had no chance even if he wanted to launch a fast break.

This time the defense can be said to be full marks.

In the end, Luo Wu could only kick the ball back to Guendouzi.

He once again took the ball in the backcourt to organize, but it was the same old problem just now. His teammates didn't get forward in time, and no one was in front to contain the opponent's central defender. This made Manchester City's formation very high, and there was no pressure yet. .

After finally stuffing the ball to Saka on the right, Saka fell into the situation of individual combat again and lost the ball again.

Manchester City counterattacked and immediately passed the midfield. After Mahrez on the right took the ball, he quickly hit a wall with De Bruyne, and then Mahrez drew the ball into Arsenal's goal. In the restricted area.

The speed of the ball was so fast that no one touched it.

Even so, it also shows that there is no problem with Manchester City's offense. They can easily hit Arsenal's backcourt and create opportunities.

On the contrary, Arsenal can't do it.

Then, just like before, Arsenal could only advance slowly in the backcourt, but the opponent's press was still very fierce.

When Luo Wu took the ball, De Bruyne and Fernandinho took turns to harass him and stopped him with fouls.

Repeatedly.

"Oops."

"It's clear now that Manchester City have figured out how to defend Luo Wu."

"That is to use tactical fouls in the frontcourt. Anyway, there is no danger. The action is not big, but the effect is obvious."

"And once Luo Wu passed halftime and ran to Manchester City's big penalty area, the Manchester City players chose another tactic, which was to cut off the passing route of others and prevent Luo Wu from taking the ball."

"The tactics are pretty good, the effect is obvious, and now Arsenal can hardly play a decent offense."

"This also provides a way of thinking for other teams. Perhaps the possibility of solving Luo Wu has come."

"Look, Luo Wu fell down again, and it's just passed the middle arc."

"Here's the answer! The key!"
