Strong Waist
Chapter 162 Adding insult to injury
"Arsenal scored first, and the goal came unexpectedly. Manchester City still failed to withstand Arsenal's counterattack pressure!"
Paul Mawson shook his head.
Before the game, many people were discussing this game, and they were all speculating where Arsenal's limit was.
Arsenal's current lineup, physical fitness, and condition should have reached their limit, but they can actually win the game.
The entire game process was still so stable.
If it weren't for the rhythm breakpoints in some games, they didn't even feel that Arsenal was affected in any way.
However, these rhythm breakpoints prove that Arsenal is still greatly restricted.
At least judging from the current state, they no longer have the dominance of the game in the middle of the season.
But even so, Arsenal still has strong game resilience under its strong fighting spirit.
And this is exactly what Manchester United currently does not have.
This also resulted in Arsenal being able to score goals in limited opportunities.
Arsenal's goal had a great impact on Manchester United, and the blow to morale was also huge.
They scored a brilliant goal in the FA Cup and it was an almost crushing victory.
For this reason, many people feel that Manchester United is on the right track.
But in fact, Manchester United has just become good at abusing people. When facing a championship-level team like Arsenal, their true colors were immediately revealed.
Of course, Arsenal did not play easily, but compared to the last Champions League game, this game was not too intense.
Pogba is annoyed.
From the very beginning of the game, he was greatly targeted by Arsenal.
He didn't like this feeling, but Arsenal always caused him great trouble.
Of course, he also knows very well that Arsenal is targeting him, which just proves his value.
But unhappy is unhappy!
Especially under pressure, Pogba and Lucky's performances are simply two extremes.
Pogba was getting worse as he played, but Lucky not only withstood the pressure, but also helped his teammates launch a counterattack.
This makes the already existing contrast even more stark.
For example, the French commentator is saying:
"As France's core midfielder, we admit that Pogba's performance in the national team is very good, but in the league, his ability to withstand pressure and the effect when facing disadvantages are not ideal."
"In more 'important' games in the future, Pogba will face the same dilemma, and if he cannot overcome this suffering, the French team's midfielder will also be greatly implicated!"
After passing the European Cup, the French team gradually showed excellent competition competitiveness in Europe.
In this World Cup, French head coach Deschamps even stated that he will make major changes in the lineup.
This suggests that some heavyweight players will be let go, while more youngsters will be drafted.
Deschamps wants to restart the French national team, but can Pogba's performance still win the favor of head coach Deschamps?
At the same time, the French commentator couldn't help but have a thought secretly arise in his heart.
If only Lucky were French.
In this way, France's midfielder can completely copy the Arsenal midfielder model, which is currently the strongest in Europe.
Lucky + Kanter are simply like bulldozers in the midfield.
However, this kind of lineup combination will not appear in the national team, and can only be seen in the league.
After Arsenal finished celebrating, they started running back into their own half.
Along the way, Manchester United players also paid attention.
There was a trace of anger in their eyes. They didn't know whether they were angry about the goal or their own performance, or both.
But this is none of Arsenal's business.
They just need to play their game well and win this game.
This way they can more easily compete with Manchester City in the final match.
After Mourinho calmed down his inner excitement, he turned around and asked: "How was the game at Manchester City?"
The matches between Manchester City and Arsenal are held simultaneously.
Manchester City faced West Ham United away from home in the 37th round.
Although Mourinho did not place too much hope on West Ham United beating Manchester City, there is a contingency for everything, right?
Moreover, Manchester City's recent state has also been a bit miserable, and the injuries in the team are also very serious. West Ham United may not have a chance.
Arteta had been watching the live broadcast from his cell phone in the corner of the bench.
He raised his head and said excitedly: "It's a 1:1 draw! West Ham United scored an equalizing goal two minutes ago!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. West Ham United evened the score?
Sure enough, it would take the Hammer Gang to achieve the effect!
At this moment, Arteta's smile suddenly froze.
He grinned: "Man City scored again!"
The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared instantly.
"So fast?"
"Who entered?"
"too fast?"
Arteta sighed; "De Bruyne connected with Sterling to score this goal."
Everyone's expressions also showed a hint of helplessness.
De Bruyne's passing ability is coupled with Sterling's breakthrough ability.
It can be said that as long as Sterling is unhappy, this guy is still very capable.
"Don't worry about them!" Mourinho looked at the court and said: "The suspense of the championship will probably last until the last game!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became extremely uncomfortable.
Being able to win the championship early will undoubtedly make them feel relaxed.
However, judging from the current situation, this is not an easy matter.
Unless Manchester City loses two games in a row, Arsenal will have no chance of winning the championship in advance.
In the arena, the game has restarted.
After Manchester United lost the ball, their offense became more intense.
However, no matter how intense the attack, Arsenal can defend perfectly.
Arsenal's defensive chain is still extremely stable.
When Lucky and Kanter retreat, Manchester United will hardly have much chance to penetrate.
Both Lucky and Kanter can make powerful interceptions in the midfield and have extremely wide coverage, which makes Manchester United's football more and more uncomfortable.
"Damn it! How can this be pushed forward!"
Sanchez looked extremely anxious.
He didn't feel this sense of oppression when he played for Arsenal before.
But since becoming an opponent, he can feel the huge defensive intensity coming from Arsenal's midfield.
You have to be physical, you have to have speed, you have to have defensive tactics.
They are not given any chance to penetrate at all, and their space for movement in the opponent's half is also restricted.
In fact, it's not just Pogba, Manchester United's forwards are equally uncomfortable.
It’s just that they won’t complain!
Pogba's position becomes more forward.
He didn't dare to catch the ball too far back, mainly because Arsenal could immediately form a counterattack after losing the ball.
It can be seen that Pogba has understood that he cannot guarantee the stability of the ball.
In this case, Pogba also started to fire frequently!
Pogba's long passing ability is also extremely accurate.
He repeatedly sent the ball behind Arsenal players and passed an overhead ball, hoping that the winger could catch up.
But this style of play, which has almost no tacit understanding and completely allows the wingers to rely on speed to chase the ball, cannot tear apart Arsenal's defense at all.
Both Monreal and Robertson have rich experience in defending such overhead balls.
Directly block the running position of the opponent's winger, and take the lead in turning around to pursue, and ultimately achieve the purpose of controlling the ball.
So far in the game, Manchester United has only had two poor shots, one of which missed the goal frame.
In this case, halftime is approaching.
This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury!
The Manchester United players wanted to take advantage of the limited time in the first half to equalize the score and create a more relaxed situation for the second half.
But they really didn't dare to run forward too aggressively.
Once Arsenal seizes the opportunity, there will be a counterattack in the same form as before.
This is something Manchester United cannot afford.
To do this, they need to control the ball in the first step, and patiently conduct and penetrate in the second step.
But as time passed, their hearts became extremely anxious.
They couldn't find any chance to attack, let alone shoot.
Finally the halftime whistle sounded.
After all, they failed to score and equalize the score.
