king of world football

As the referee blew the kick-off whistle, the match between Manchester City and Arsenal officially started.

With the advantage of the home court, Blue Moon launched a fierce attack on the opponent like a rainbow. They quickly gained the advantage and hoped to take the lead as soon as possible.

The Gunners shrank their formation significantly, relying only on two or three counterattacks to threaten Manchester City's goal.

"Manchester City completely suppressed Arsenal from all aspects, and the gap between the two teams is a bit obvious." Johnson, the commentator of British Independent Television, said with emotion.

"Arsenal made steals from the backcourt and used the long pass strategy again. This is also a helpless thing. They simply cannot pass through the midfield normally."

"Sanchez made a direct pass, Giroud stopped the ball and squeezed Kompany to force the goal!"

"No threat, Bravo saved the ball, is there any chance? Kompany quickly stepped forward to make a clearance."

"...! Oh, how could this be? Goal! Goal! Otamendi did something wrong with his good intentions!"

"He originally wanted to follow up to protect the ball, but he didn't notice that his teammates had turned around and kicked the ball, which just hit him and bounced into his own goal."

"It was an unbelievable own goal and it's hard to imagine Manchester City having the upper hand and then falling behind because of such drama."

Giroud, who contributed to the shot, froze on the spot, as if he was hit by a pie falling from the sky, until his teammates rushed to surround him, and the Frenchman recovered and smiled excitedly.

"Damn it!" Otamendi and Kompany looked at each other. They didn't know who to blame for a moment. One of them wanted to quickly relieve the danger, and the other wanted to actively protect the ball. Neither of them could say wrong.

But this is too coincidental, if it is a little bit off, it will definitely not be an own goal.

Wenger's expression on the sidelines is still serious, but the slightly open arms also show that the professor is not at peace at the moment.

He had already expected that the game would be difficult, and Arsenal could only try to defend and counterattack, but it was a surprise to achieve results so early.

The opponent conceded an own goal in the opening stage, which dealt a great blow to fighting spirit and morale. The next step is to see if the Gunners can stabilize the situation and maintain the lead until the end.

.........

After the kick-off again, Manchester City still implemented the tactics arranged by the head coach Pep Guardiola before the game, but the backcourt passes were more restrained, and it seemed that they were worried about making similar mistakes again, and even slowed down the frontcourt attack.

The visiting team was able to breathe a sigh of relief, but they did not rush to pursue the victory, but continued to play steadily, constantly filling and perfecting the defensive loopholes, and hiding all their gaps.

As long as Wang Feng takes the ball in the frontcourt, he will inevitably be flanked by two or more defensive players. Try to avoid fouls and drive the Chinese superstar to the non-core area.

"Arsenal's zone defense is too strong, even Wang Feng is restricted. Let's see what he is going to do with the ball this time...Dribbling the ball diagonally and forcing a charge! This is not a good choice!"

After wading through Xhaka, the Chinese superstar stumbled all the way to protect the ball to the front of the penalty area. Almost the entire defense line of the Gunners was attracted by him, surrounded by defensive players.

Just when all the fans thought the ball would be intercepted, it suddenly came out from the gap of the dense crowd and drew a curved arc on the lawn.

Aguero flew to grab the spot near the penalty spot, but the ball went around his toes.

"Almost, the pass was too big... No! After the point, Sane quickly went forward and hit the goal!"

With the roar of the commentator, the German striker raised his leg to meet the ball and volleyed vigorously. The goalkeeper Petr Cech, who was originally in the middle position, immediately moved to save.

However, he was still a little hasty, the ball had already hit the net behind him, and the Czech goalkeeper's arm blocked the shot.

"goooooooooooooooal! Wang Feng assisted Sane to equalize!"

"An extremely precise pass not only crosses the dense defensive line, but also crosses teammates who are not in a good position, and finds the best shot!"

"The assists of Chinese superstars are so smooth. If you feel uncomfortable catching the ball, then the ball must not be passed to you!"

Sane, who equalized the score, let out a strange roar, and then rushed to the fans' stands to interact passionately with everyone.

Soon his teammates arrived one after another. Otamendi hugged Wang Feng and Sane with red eyes and kept thanking him.

If you enter the second half with an own goal behind, you can imagine how much pressure he will have.

"Why are you so ignorant, we are a team, we enjoy victory together, we fight against failure together!" The Chinese superstar said as he slapped Otamendi on the shoulder.

"Now we are back on the same starting line with them, brothers, show the momentum of the opening, the blue moon will eventually cover European football!" Kompany shouted passionately.

This was originally a sentence Wang Feng said in an interview. Coincidentally, almost all teammates felt that this sentence was particularly domineering, so they often mentioned it to boost morale.

More than ten years later, it has become an iconic club slogan like "Here is Anfield", which has been passed down from generation to generation.

.........

At the end of the half, the scores of the two sides did not change. Although Arsenal conceded a goal, they also scored an unexpected goal. This result is acceptable to Wenger.

In the locker room of the home team, no one mentioned Otamendi's own goal. They never regretted the past and only focused on the future.

Guardiola methodically explained the next tactics and how each player should move. He does not intend to make adjustments to the starting personnel, and the continuation of the unique rhythm is the most important thing.

"Arsenal's overall discipline is very strong, passing back and forth to pull the defense is not effective, so, Wang, I hope you can rush forward more like the first half, use your personal ability to pose a threat, attract the defensive mind, and open up space for your teammates. "

The Chinese superstar twisted his shoulders and nodded to show that he understands. It seems that he has to increase the amount of activity again.

Changing sides to fight again, Wang Feng increased the time of holding the ball, attracting siege and looking for space, of course it didn't work every time.

Three of those times had to be passed back, a goal was conceded and once a threat was made, Aguero shot just wide of the post.

The stalemate time always passed quickly. In the 75th minute, the Chinese superstar received Silva through the middle. When he was rushing to the side, he suddenly stopped and slammed Walcott, and then approached the penalty area.

Even though they knew that Wang Feng took the ball to attract the defense, Arsenal also had to pay attention to it, because a little carelessness would allow the opponent to seize the space and shoot. This is an open conspiracy.

Taking advantage of the two guards blocking the attack, Wang Feng squinted his eyes and decisively sent out the oblique plug, which happened to pass between the two to the back point.

Fernandinho, who went forward, received the ball near the baseline and sent an inverted triangle back pass. Aguero shot at close range from 8 meters in front of the goal.

The ball crashed into the net, Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech failed to make any saves, the speed was too fast!

"Sergio Aguero!"

"Manchester City overtook the score at home! From Wang Feng's offensive plan, Fernandinho assisted Aguero and succeeded!"

"The Chinese superstar once again used his frontcourt deterrence. The process of splitting the side first and then crossing the ball was also very clever. After two defensive guidances, Aguero in the middle was almost completely open!"

In the end, the battle ended with Manchester City beating Arsenal 2:1. After all, the Gunners failed to destroy the great interest of Blue Moon.
