Strong Waist

Impact after impact and passive defense again and again made the Manchester City players feel extremely painful.

Arsenal's offensive is extremely fierce, and their transfer speed is very fast. After touching the ball, they can immediately connect and shoot.

It can be said that if any blocking opportunity is missed, Arsenal can complete the shooting action.

This puts great psychological pressure on Manchester City's defenders and goalkeepers.

They were defending as much as possible, and even the midfielders dropped back to join the defense.

However, this is not a long-term solution. If the situation continues to develop like this, it will only be an even more painful situation for Manchester City.

But it seems extremely difficult to reverse the situation at this time.

The head coaches of both sides have already begun to make substitution adjustments.

But this requires a dead ball opportunity.

Guardiola stared at the field nervously, hoping that Manchester City could at least last until the substitutions were completed.

But the ball just can't be destroyed or enter the dead ball stage.

Arsenal played very steadily. In the fierce attack, they still did not have that impetuous mentality. Every touch of the ball was extremely reasonable.

Even in the face of Manchester City's fierce pressure, they would not rush into the penalty area and barely shoot.

Instead, pass back or transfer, and use this method to restart the offense.

Lucky was on the outside of the penalty area, and his eyes were constantly observing.

Wilshere's movement was from the right to the left, and even the Manchester City players were attracted to Wilshere.

To this end, Lucky gave the ball to Wilshere and at the same time ran in the opposite direction of Wilshere.

A cross move.

When Wilshere and Lucky crossed, Wilshere stepped on the ball and pulled back, not only taking away the defensive player, but also pulling the ball to Lucky's feet.

Lucky, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and hit the ball into the penalty area.

"Kai! Enter the restricted area!"

shouted Paul Mawson.

Lucky's entry into the penalty area sounded the alarm for Manchester City's defense.

It is an extremely dangerous thing to have the player who scored two goals in this game so close to the goal.

For this reason, Kompany and Stones rushed towards Lucky almost at the same time.

But just when the two were about to take action, Lucky suddenly made a move.

The timing is very good.

Stones, Giroud and Kompany are on the straight line.

And Stones' Kompany's focus is forward, in order to block Lucky.

Giroud's center of gravity is further back and he starts faster.

The moment Lucky picked the ball, Giroud immediately opened up a position gap by shifting his center of gravity.

"Girou!

!

!

! ——”

George Adams, the on-site commentator, shouted excitedly.

At this time, Giroud was already in front of the goal, and there were no defensive players around him.

The ball fell in front of Giroud. Giroud turned sideways forward. Before the ball hit the ground, he twisted his waist, using the waist as the axis of his body, raised his right leg, and immediately connected with a volley.

This kick is powerful and very close to the goal.

The ball flew straight towards the near corner. Because it was too close to the goal, even Moraes was unable to react immediately.

Moraes reluctantly put his hands in front of his chest to block, but he was too hasty to completely remove the force of the ball.

When the speeding ball hit his arm, it bounced into the net.

At this moment, the entire Emirates Stadium burst into violent cheers.

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

!

! "

"Girou!

! Arsenal's third goal!

We are ahead again!

! "

"In this game, Giroud wasted some opportunities, but in the end he helped us get the key leading goal!"

"A very clean volley, well done!

"

Wow!

!

!

!

!

!

!

!

!

——

Amid the fierce cheers at the scene, Giroud was also quite excited.

He sprinted to the corner and roared into the stands, venting his inner pressure.

In fact, since the World Cup, Giroud has not tasted scoring a goal for more than two months.

This is simply a terrible experience for a center.

Now, with this goal, Giroud has completely vented his inner frustration, and he believes that his condition will get better and better.

The crowd cheered and applauded.

Giroud celebrated with his teammates.

The Manchester City players looked at the celebrating Arsenal players with annoyed faces.

Kompany's expression was extremely unwilling.

His judgment just now was correct, but Lucai read their intentions, so before they acted, he picked the ball and completed an assist.

I have to say that Lucky put too much pressure on them.

One game, two shots and one pass, a dominant performance.

In the Manchester City coaching bench, Guardiola also showed a helpless expression.

This goal has escaped the so-called error range. It can only be said that Arsenal played very well and fulfilled its tactical characteristics.

However, Manchester City did not have the numbers and immediately made substitutions.

Aguero and Sterling exited.

Jesus and Sane come on.

This is to strengthen the offensive capabilities.

Arsenal, on the other hand, places more emphasis on midfield and backfield capabilities.

Wilshere and Jimenez exited.

Odegaard and Koscielny come on.

Snapped!

!

Wilshere slapped Odegaard's hand hard with both hands and said harshly: "Run to your death. If I see you being lazy, you will be dead."

Odegaard curled his lips and said nothing.

But I was already excited inside.

After all, he got a chance to play in the first game of the season, which shows that Mourinho intends to cultivate himself.

Jimenez also got a chance to rest.

The injury on his forehead can also be further treated.

After both sides complete substitutions, the game restarts.

After Manchester City lost the ball, they wanted to launch an attack to save the situation again.

But this time, Arsenal is on the defensive. If there are no accidents, Arsenal wants to end the game with the current score and successfully get the new season off to a good start.

However, they will also counterattack on the basis of defense.

"Although Arsenal started to defend, their pressing intensity in the midfield and frontcourt was still very strong."

Paul Mawson nodded secretly.

Defense does not mean that everyone must be in the penalty area, that is called busing.

On the other hand, Arsenal's pressing tactics can limit the opponent's advancement speed.

Odegaard ran quite aggressively.

Although he is an attacking midfielder, he cannot be just an attacking midfielder under Arsenal or Mourinho.

What Mourinho hates most is guys who can see people when attacking and procrastinate when defending.

Even your center forward has the responsibility to drop back and defend.

In the Arsenal team, everyone has the responsibility to drop back and defend, let alone Odegaard.

Thanks to the hard work of everyone in Arsenal, they finally got the ball.

Kanter gave the ball to Odegaard, who was about to move forward when he heard shouts from behind.

"Pass back! Don't press forward!"

If so, Odegaard wouldn't care about the others, but it was Lucky who shouted these words.

Odegaard could only turn around again, turn around and pass the ball back.

Lucky caught the ball, immediately pointed to Odegaard to find the next receiving point, and distributed the ball to Kanter.

Now Lucky's position is close to the central axis, trying to avoid losing the ball head-on. This is the most basic rule of football defense.

After Kanter received the ball, he didn't make any fancy moves and directly passed the ball to Aubameyang.

This is what they appreciate most about Kanter.

There has never been any strong desire to express himself, or to show off his footwork, etc. The simple and most practical passing route.

"Now, Arsenal has taken the initiative to slow down the pace. Although they are testing on both sides, they mostly pass back. This is to ensure the possession of the ball and delay time."

Just like the commentator's words, Arsenal just want to stall for time.

Today's score is good enough.

They don't have to spend a lot of effort to attack or counterattack.

Unless there is a good chance.

And once Arsenal makes up its mind to delay time, or goes on the defensive.

It would be too difficult for any team to crack Arsenal's defense.

After all, under the guidance of Mourinho, Arsenal's defense is no longer the loopholes it once was.

Even if they face the best striker combination in the world, they still have the ability to resist, let alone Manchester City in the eyes of physical exhaustion.
