Strong Waist

The heavy rain continued until the next day.

The gloomy weather and dark clouds rolling in the sky also make the sky in Manchester feel depressing.

Arsenal's bus departs from the hotel to the Intihad Stadium on time.

Along the way, Arsenal's players didn't communicate much.

As we got closer to the court, the atmosphere was already starting to heat up.

Even though it was still raining in the sky, it could not stop the enthusiasm of Manchester City fans.

There were even some reporters who continued to report while staring at the rain.

"This is the reporter from the front of Sky Sports. The Arsenal bus passed here a minute ago. They will arrive at the Intihad Stadium in three minutes."

"For Manchester City, which has completed six consecutive victories, Arsenal, the defending champion of the Champions League, is a strong enemy. Guardiola also said that Arsenal has always been an opponent that he cannot ignore, despite Arsenal's current ups and downs. It’s uncertain, but we can still look forward to how the two teams will perform in this game!”

Ahead, Arsenal's bus has arrived at the Intihad Stadium.

Lucky and others quickly ran into the venue despite the rain.

After arriving in the locker room, everyone began to prepare to warm up.

They put their usual short-nailed boots into the cabinet, took out their long-nailed boots and put them on their feet.

In this rainy environment, long spike boots are more conducive to gripping the ground.

After changing their shoes, everyone walked out of the tunnel and started to warm up.

The rain was cold. Even though the venue was bustling and the weather wasn't particularly cold, the rain still felt extremely cold.

"We must warm up fully. The rain will quickly take away the heat from our bodies. If you don't want to get injured, please train more seriously."

Lucky ordered his teammates.

Nowadays, Lucky seems to play more of a nanny role than the captain.

Lucky never thought that one day he would do such a thing.

But no matter what!

The bridge between players, coaches and clubs is the captain.

And the captain also needs to be responsible for the players.

Of course Lucky can go too far, but if he does, Arsenal will probably be ruined!

Led by Lucky, Arsenal's players are warming up.

It can be seen that even in the warm-up session, Arsenal is very orderly and no one is slacking off.

Guardiola stood under the canopy of the coaching bench, looking at Arsenal's half.

He was deeply impressed by the Arsenal team that knocked them out of the Champions League semi-finals.

Arsenal last season gave Guardiola a sense of unstoppability.

Whether it was player status and morale, team atmosphere, competitive status, etc., they all surpassed Bayern Munich at the time.

Arsenal made adequate preparations to win the game, and they successfully won the game and advanced to the final, even winning the Champions League.

Guardiola admitted that Arsenal last season was difficult to beat, but after the start of this season, Arsenal fell into championship syndrome and a series of troubles. Although it has gradually stabilized, it wants to return to last season. The situation is particularly difficult.

Although they have completed six consecutive victories, they are full of momentum.

But there was an air of invincibility and resilience about that Arsenal team.

Although the newly formed Manchester City is very good, it still cannot shake Arsenal's status.

But it’s different now!

Arsenal's situation is far more complicated than it appears.

Even Wenger needs a headache.

So for Guardiola, he feels that Manchester City has a great chance of winning this game.

The two sides returned to their locker rooms to prepare for the final stage of preparations before the game.

Patrice also announced the starting lineup.

Basically there is not much difference, it is still the main 11 players.

Among them, Mustafi still didn't get a chance to start. He was really suppressed by Mertesacker.

"This is LeTV Sports. The upcoming game is the 2015/2016 season Manchester City home game against the new Champions League champion Arsenal!"

After completing his opening remarks, Zhan Jun briefly explained the current situation of the two teams.

"There is a 10-point gap between Manchester City and Arsenal in the standings. Compared to Manchester City, which has completed six consecutive victories, Arsenal has stumbled all the way since the start of the season, with ups and downs in form."

Zhang Lu: "In the beginning, Wenger's departure had a great impact on Arsenal. This impact was not only on the technical and tactical aspects, but also on the psychological level. This also led to Arsenal's miserable start until the fourth game. We just won one victory. Of course we were proud of the game against Liverpool, but it was more about Lucky’s explosion.”

"It's best to limit this kind of outburst of individual players. It's nothing more than to mobilize more manpower to suppress it!"

"Watford did this in the European Super Cup and the last round, and the effect was extremely significant!"

Zhan Jun: "So, will Guardiola also restrict Lucky in this game?"

Zhang Lu pondered for a moment and said: "There will definitely be restrictions, but they will not be targeted. Guardiola's Manchester City is more about adjusting their own system than restricting a certain player. They will not pay attention or restrict them." A certain player has to play his own style.”

As the two spoke, the camera showed two teams walking out of the tunnel.

The starting lineups of both sides also appeared on the big screen.

Manchester City (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Kolarov, Mangala, Otamendi, Sagna.

Midfielder: De Bruyne, Delph, David Silva, Fernandio, Sterling.

Forward: Aguero.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal.

Midfielder: Lucky, Wilshere, Kante.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Suarez, Sanchez.

Manchester City's lineup shows that they have never thought about targeting a certain player, they want to play their own things.

That is to say, the so-called tactics of restricting Lucky are not worth mentioning in Guardiola's view.

He feels that Manchester City's midfield is enough to suppress Arsenal, and what he wants more than the so-called tactical victory is the running-in of the lineup system.

To put it bluntly, Guardiola does not feel that Manchester City has any special need to target Lucky.

In one-on-one situations, whether it is David Silva or others, they have the ability to restrict Lucky.

Lucky also took note of Manchester City's lineup.

This made him sigh in relief.

For two consecutive games, Lucky has been stared at very hard. Although this is common in football, it feels really bad to be watched by the opponent for the whole game.

In this game, Manchester City did not pay too much attention to Lucky.

This also made Lucai feel a little more relaxed.

"Okay, the two captains have finished choosing sides. Suarez stands in the center circle and Arsenal takes the lead."

Paul Merson looked forward to it: "Will Manchester City win and extend their seven-game winning streak, or will Arsenal defeat Manchester City and end the opponent's winning streak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Suarez kicked the ball decisively.

Wilshere received the ball and passed back, but did not run forward too much, but wandered around Lucky.

Lucky took the initiative to retreat to catch the ball.

In this game, Lucky's position returned to the midfielder.

But that doesn't mean he won't be involved in the offense.

Lucky retreated and gestured towards Mertesacker, who passed the ball decisively.

With Lucky holding the ball behind his back, he made a decisive cross pass to Wilshere.

The next second, he heard the rapid footsteps disappear.

Manchester City's frontcourt game is very hard!

Lucky frowned slightly.

Wilshere passed the ball back to Lucky.

At this time, De Bruyne rushed towards Lucky, trying to steal.

Lucky moved the ball horizontally and made several consecutive fake moves, but failed to get past De Bruyne. Finally, he pulled the ball to get out of position and immediately passed the ball to Kanter.

Kanter immediately passed the ball diagonally forward.

Lucky started decisively at this time and caught up with the ball.

Faced with this change, De Bruyne was somewhat unable to react.

When he turned his head, Lucky had already completed the pass.

Lucky did not lower his head to watch the ball, but set his sights on Aubameyang.

You said you were fast.

You said that you hope your teammates will create enough runway for you!

Lucky looked down at the ball and kicked out with his right foot.

The ball was fast and urgent, flying straight ahead like an arrow missing.

At the same time, Aubameyang also completed his escape and ran wildly!

At this moment, Aubameyang's speed was fully unleashed, and he was so powerful!
