Chapter 710 Manchester City without a leader

Chapter 710 Manchester City has no leader

Guardiola’s expression was extremely helpless.

This Manchester City team is gradually heading in a direction he doesn’t want to see.

Since Kompany fell into injury and was too old to support the game, the team’s problems have gradually been exposed.

Guardiola admitted that Manchester City is a team with extremely superb skills, tactics and personal skills.

But compared to these, their enthusiasm for the game and the bonus of mental attributes are extremely low.

De Bruyne is a future top midfielder, but his personality is restrained.

David Silva also has the same problem, low-key and humble, unable to become the leader of the team.

Fernandinho is even more unable to hold this position.

Manchester City lack a player to take them sprinting.

Just like an Arsenal game, once it comes to a critical juncture, Lucky’s roar and his spiritual energy will affect everyone.

These are prompting Arsenal to do everything possible to win the game.

When it comes to Manchester City, they will become at a loss when they are in trouble and don’t know what to do.

Just like today’s locker room, everyone even communicates in a low voice.

How much Guardiola hopes that someone can stand in the middle at this time, slam the square chip, and wake these people up with a roar.

But no one set an example.

Therefore, Guardiola is often envious of Arsenal.

Because they have a real spiritual leader.

Lucky exists to help Arsenal back up.

Arsenal’s upper limit is determined by all players and the coaching staff, while Arsenal’s lower limit is determined by Le Kai.

This also caused Arsenal to be no worse even if it was worse.

Because they have a real spiritual leader.

This is also the most precious wealth left by Wenger to Arsenal. The existence of Lucky will determine that Arsenal will remain a first-class team in the next ten years. As long as Lucky is still in Arsenal, then this is an established fact.

Thinking of this, Guardiola approached De Bruyne.

“Kevin, you need to play more aggressively, and you need to bring victory to your teammates!”

Guardiola hopes that De Bruyne can become this type of player. At this time, Guardiola is also a little bit ill.

“I don’t know what to do!”

De Bruyne said.

Guardiola thought for a while and said, “Think about how Kay does it.”

Hearing this, De Bruyne was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately there was silence again.

Guardiola didn’t urge either.

Soon, players from both sides walked out of the locker room and headed towards the court.

Two teams meet in the tunnel.

De Bruyne also saw Lucky walking at the forefront.

But Lucky didn’t walk out of the player channel directly, but stood at the entrance to high-five every Arsenal player and loudly encouraged them.

De Bruyne stopped subconsciously and glanced at his teammates.

He also thought about acting like Lucky himself, but could he really do it?

In the end, De Bruyne walked out in silence.

Guardiola saw all this and shook his head helplessly.

“It still needs to change slowly!”

“The game is about to enter the second half. Arsenal took the lead with Kay’s goal in the first half. Manchester City is still behind. Guardiola and Manchester City want to reverse the situation. What changes will they make? ?”

Many people expected Guardiola to adjust the lineup, but he did not make any adjustments.

The tactical system of the first half is still used.

This also shows that Guardiola trusts these players.

But does it really work?

“From the data in the first half, the ball possession rate of the two sides was 37% for Arsenal and 63% for Manchester City. Manchester City took a total of 5 shots, of which 3 shots were within the range of the goal frame. Arsenal scored 2 shots and won A goal!”

“Arsenal’s defensive counterattack is obviously more threatening!”

“From the current situation, Arsenal still use this tactical method in the second half.”

Mourinho has a way of playing Guardiola.

Since the La Liga period, the two have faced off many times, winning and losing each other.

Many people said at the time that Mourinho would only use defensive counterattacks to limit Barcelona’s pass and control system, but facts have also proved that if you want to defeat the traditional system, you must use a tactical combination of defensive counterattacks + high press.

And this Arsenal just knows these tactics very well.

Wenger’s early Arsenal was indeed a traditional team, but in the later period, especially after Lucky’s joining was reused, Arsenal’s tactical system became flexible and changeable.

They can not only play pass and control, but also defend against counterattacks, and can also press in high positions. They can be called the panacea of ​​the game.

And Mourinho also added some elements of his own on the basis again.

The second half started soon.

Arsenal kicks off first.

Arsenal don’t want the ball, so after they lost the ball in the frontcourt, they didn’t panic, but continued to retreat to defend.

Everything seems to be back to the microcosm of the first half of the game.

On the other hand, Manchester City played very hard!

Yes, it is very fierce, and every attack wants to complete the shooting link.

Even sometimes, some offenses have no shooting angle at all, but they will still try it.

Although this style of play gives people a messy feeling, to be honest, it does put a lot of pressure on Arsenal.

But fortunately, Arsenal’s central defender partner is in good condition. With the tacit cooperation between the two and the support of the full-backs, they can defend well.

At the same time, Lucky and Kanter also provided support to a certain extent.

In this way, it is difficult for Manchester City’s offense to penetrate.

And whenever Arsenal got the ball, their counterattack made Manchester City feel extremely headache.

Lucky did not retreat too deep, which shows that Lucky can join the rhythm of the counterattack more quickly.

This also accelerated Arsenal’s overall counterattack rhythm a lot.

Manchester City’s defenders and goalkeepers have suffered enough.

But Manchester City’s stalking tactics soon took effect.

An accident.

Sterling passed the ball to Yaya Toure diagonally behind, and Yaya Toure made a long shot directly outside the penalty area.

This foot is full of strength, and the ball flies towards Arsenal’s goal.

With a ding, it bounced off the crossbeam.

But the ball just hit the face of Sane in the penalty area and bounced into the net again.

This operation is true and everyone is dumbfounded.

Manchester City’s offense and shooting are so “tricks”, which no one has ever thought of.

Manchester City equalized in the 61st minute.

But the price is that Sane’s face is blooming, and he is carried off the field with blood on his face.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

Manchester City did get a valuable goal, but the price was that Sane was carried off by an indiscriminate disaster.

Manchester City’s “fairy goal” and Sane’s sudden departure forced Guardiola to make passive substitutions.

Nolito came off the bench.

It’s just that Nolito’s ability cannot be compared with Sane, and he cannot play enough threats on the wing.

On the other hand, Arsenal is also a little depressed.

After all, this goal is pure luck.

Yaya Toure hit the crossbar with a long shot, hit Sane’s face plate again, and finally scored.

Yaya Toure took the initiative to assist, while Sane scored passively and was carried off.

But they also had to admit that the score was tied.

Even Mourinho on the sidelines was depressed.

This goal appeared simply too bad.

Guardiola is also covering his head.

Although Manchester City scored a goal, the goal was obviously not perfect. After all, Sane was carried off the field.

The game restarts.

The two sides returned to the same starting line.

Arsenal wants to win, then they must score again.

This also made Lucky pay more attention to the running of Manchester City’s defense, ready to pass the ball at any time.

But Manchester City will not let Arsenal steal the ball easily.

De Bruyne suddenly entered the state, with full firepower.

He almost helped Sterling create a one-handed chance three times in a row.

If it weren’t for Jimenez and Hummels’ decisive grabs, Arsenal would be in danger.

At the same time, De Bruyne and David Silva also formed a tacit cooperation to penetrate and advance the formation.

But if they do this, Lucky and Kanter quit.

Although they will not retreat too deeply, it does not mean that they will not participate in the defense at all.

伱 want to advance, then they have to intervene.

For this reason, under the sudden rush of Lucky and Kanter, Manchester City was forced to retreat.
