  Chapter 975 Passive Manchester City

"Sterling failed to make a pass! Kay's timing of this kick was too good. After being freed by Sterling in the first half, Kay still dared to make a pressing move. This not only requires a strong mentality At the same time, you need absolute confidence in your skills!"

  In the first half, Sterling got rid of Lucky's defense with a wonderful shake and helped Manchester City score a goal.

  This assist also gave Sterling great confidence.

  But at the beginning of the second half, Lucky made Sterling nervous again with a clean break.

   Sterling's heart also became heavy.

   Lucky gave him the feeling as if he was staring at him. Unlike the defense that wandered around him in the first half, after entering the second half, as soon as Sterling got the ball, Lucky would instantly approach him and press him.

   To be honest, at close range, Lucky is too oppressive

  Not to mention Sterling, how many people in football can remain calm when faced with Le Kai's press?

  However, Sterling didn't mean to be depressed, it was just destroyed once, and Lucky didn't grab the ball from his feet and hit a counterattack.

  Sterling still feels that he has a chance to make a breakthrough.

  For this reason, when the ball was passed to Sterling again, this guy immediately wanted to pull the ball and turn around.

   But when he turned halfway, he felt unable to turn.

   There seemed to be a wall blocking the back of his body, which stopped Sterling from turning around.

   Seeing that the way to turn around was blocked, Sterling moved the ball to the left, trying to increase the distance.

But how could Lucky give him this kind of opportunity? At the moment when Sterling was waving the ball, he kicked his supporting leg hard, and instantly squeezed into the space between Sterling and the ball, breaking the connection between the two. Control the ball.

   Sterling was squeezed behind by Lucky, he moved left and right, trying to go around and fight back.

   But Le Kai's left and right feet were swaying above the ball, and he used his back to block Sterling's pressing angle again and again.

   After his teammates stepped forward, Le Kai easily distributed the ball.

  Sterling stopped in a bit of annoyance. If the last press gave him a certain sense of frustration, this conceding the ball made him extremely nervous.

   "Twice in a row! Kay's defensive performance is outstanding. Sterling still wants to copy his performance in the first half, and help his teammates create scoring opportunities while passing Kay."

   "But after Kay has experienced it once, how can he give this kind of opportunity again? Under two consecutive defensive pressures, Sterling failed to keep the ball!"

  "We have to admit that when facing Kai alone, we must not have any fluke mentality. If the position of stealing the ball was slightly higher just now, Arsenal might have launched a counterattack directly!"

   Faced with Staley's conceded goal, Manchester City players will also be a little dissatisfied.

  Although Sterling was the hero who pulled back a goal in the first half, it doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants.

   "Hey! Pass the ball!"

   "Stop dribbling!"

   "Those who can't break through! Pass more!"

   "Someone is waiting for you!"

   "Don't always think about dribbling!"

  Facing the scolding of his teammates, Sterling's expression was not very good.

  In the past, teammates would complain that Sterling played too independently, but at that time Sterling had a strong ability to break through the side and dribble.

   Complaints are complaints, but Sterling kicked out the effect.

   For this reason, Sterling doesn't care much.

   But when facing Le Kai, he has lost two goals.

  In this case, the pressure is great.

   And teammates are complaining at the same time, he can not be indifferent.

   After Arsenal got the ball, they did not rush to counterattack. The overall position was too far back, and even if they counterattacked, they were not threatening enough.

   For this reason, Arsenal also began to shift on the left and right sides, trying to kick the offense through changes in rhythm.

   Don’t look at Arsenal’s defensive counterattacks, but they are also good at this kind of rhythm change and the side-stretching tactics driven by pass control.

  Arsenal is not the type who can eat all kinds of tricks, they only know how to defend and counterattack.

  If so, they couldn't get this far either.

   It can be said that Arsenal are proficient in defensive counterattacks, which is also their most powerful weapon, but it does not mean that they do not know other tactics.

  Arsenal's interspersed movement is very decisive, and the speed of the ball passing is slightly slower than that of Manchester City, but it is more stable.

  Many unsure attacks, Arsenal will not try.

   Only when there is enough space, or when Lucky initiates an attack, will Arsenal choose to carry on resolutely.

  However, judging from the current situation, Arsenal did not rush to press forward. Instead, they kept making inversions in the midfield to lure Manchester City players to come up and press.

   "This doesn't look like a seduction, Arsenal is more of a waste of time!"

  Andy Gray said solemnly: "Manchester City played too passively in defense, which also allowed Arsenal to continuously reach their feet in the midfield and handle the ball calmly."

  "Of course, this is also Manchester City's tactical arrangement to stabilize the defense, but the problem is that they are behind."

"The current initiative is in the hands of Arsenal. If the Gunners insist on delaying time, then Manchester City will continue to be calculated by Arsenal. If they press forward, Arsenal will be able to take advantage of the press to draw the team as a whole." Long gaps and positioning to penetrate."

Speaking of this, Andy Gray couldn't help sighing: "Arsenal are too experienced in playing. They know when to play and what rhythm to play. Just like now, they rely on their advantages to put Manchester City in an absolute passive position." situation."

   "So, there are only two roads left for Manchester City!"

  "First: Continue to defend so passively, wait for the time to pass, and watch Arsenal win the cup."

   "Second: Take the risk of pressing forward, which will be accompanied by the possibility of losing the ball, but at least it is better than the first option!"

   Manchester City also reacted quickly. After seeing Arsenal's style of play, they understood what these gunmen wanted to do.

   "Press up! Press down!"

  David Silva shouted immediately.

  They don't want to die slowly like this, even if it is a risk, they still have to try to force.

  Manchester City's midfield began to enter Arsenal's half to press.

  The overall front line and stance have been stretched, and the gaps that were well hidden before are gradually revealed.

  Although the Manchester City players used active running positions to cover up, Arsenal will not give up in the face of this gap.

   Lucky sent the ball to Xhaka's feet. With his back on his back, Xhaka split the side with one foot, and then turned around and ran wildly.

  A very simple side splitting tactic.

   But Arsenal invested heavily in counter-attacking.

   Not only Xhaka, but even Lucky is quickly approaching.

  Mane holds the ball and quickly goes to the bottom. While dribbling, he observes the position of Manchester City's full-backs.

   Finding that the opponent did not step forward to press, Mane completed the cross very comfortably.

  The ball flew to the middle, and Giroud and Le Kai had already rushed in at this time.

   At the moment when the two wanted to fight for the top, the Manchester City goalkeeper suddenly came out, hit the ball with both fists, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

  The ball fell outside the penalty area. Xhaka looked at the ball's landing point, ran over quickly, and directly chose to shoot without making any adjustments.

boom!

   The quality of this shot is not good, it is a soaring cannon.

  The ball flew to the stands, Manchester City players and fans also let out a long breath.

  The Arsenal fans applauded constantly.

   They will applaud any shot, even a sky rocket.

  They are very clear that this time period must give the players confidence and at the same time give Manchester City a sense of oppression.

  In the arena, Le Kai and others also gave Xhaka a thumbs up.

  The latter also scratched his head, indicating that he failed to hold down the ball.

  Although they failed to expand the score, Arsenal still played a good counterattack.

   The pressure is still on Manchester City.

  For Manchester City, they must find ways to get back another goal, how can they equalize.

   After equalizing, Manchester City will embrace the advantage again, and will not play passively like they are now.

   But it's really not an easy task.

  Whether it is Arsenal's defense or counterattack, it is giving Manchester City a great test.
