Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 548

Manchester City led Arsenal 3:0 at halftime, laying a sufficient goal lead.

Wenger made three substitutions in the second half.

He wanted to regain some face in front of his own 60,000 Gunners fans.

But Stewart, this bastard.

He really didn't give him a chance.

After the halftime break, he carefully chose to retreat to the front line, focusing on the defense strategy, leaving Su Fei alone in the front court, without any waste.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Arsenal scored the only goal of the day with Henry's free kick in the front court.

In the 93rd minute, the game was over.

With a score of 3:1, Manchester City successfully achieved the achievement of defeating Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, the four traditional Premier League giants in the new season without bloodshed.

Post-match press conference.

The Premier League media changed their faces of criticism and accusation after the last Manchester City vs. AC Milan game.

Actively asked Stewart about the topic of the new formation today.

"Mr. Stewart, congratulations to Manchester City for a beautiful away win. Do you have anything to say about the team's new 4-2-3-1 formation today?"

"Haha. This was taught by a friend of mine. He reminded me that the players on the team all have excellent abilities and can quickly adapt to more different roles."

Friend?

Stewart's answer successfully aroused the curiosity of all reporters at the scene.

"Mr. Stewart, who is this friend you are talking about? He should not be a member of Manchester City's coaching staff, right?"

If Wenger was at the scene.

He would definitely rush up to cover this guy's mouth, and then curse who the hell is your friend, we are enemies.

However.

Stewart was not stupid enough to involve Wenger in unwarranted public opinion. He just smiled and did not answer the reporter's question.

The reporters could only start another topic in disappointment.

"Mr. Stewart, the team is currently 5 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United. As long as we draw in the next game, we can lock in the Premier League title this season one round in advance. What do you think about this?"

"Our goal this season is to win two consecutive championships. I am very happy that we are now very close to this goal. But before the end of the next game, I will not say that we will definitely win the championship."

After experiencing the post-match public opinion of AC Milan in the last game.

Stewart decided to change his previous style of speaking out in front of the media.

Instead, he kept a low profile and was cautious.

"Then what do you think of the second-round decisive battle against AC Milan in Italy on May 3?"

"AC Milan is very strong, and what the team will do is to go all out and strive to advance to the Champions League final."

"......"

"If you enter the final, do you want to play against Manchester United or Chelsea?"

"I remember hearing this question before. I still give the same answer. This is not something I can decide."

The post-match press conference ended.

The Premier League media present were very disappointed.

Because I couldn't get any explosive information out of Stewart, or anything that could be exaggerated.

Fortunately.

Manchester City easily defeated Arsenal 3:1.

The heat and topic of this game itself are enough to support a hot spot.

...................................................

After finishing the interview, Stewart quickly returned to the locker room.

The atmosphere in the locker room.

Very good.

The players were very satisfied with the result of the game under the new formation today.

Especially Cassano.

He sent two passes and one shot today, and even beat Su Fei who had two shots and one pass, and was elected the best player of the game.

The reason is that in addition to the data level, he completely assumed the role of the core of Manchester City's midfield attack today.

Almost every attack.

He can't do without his touch to organize the ball.

The Italian bad boy came to Knight with a smug look on his face.

"Knight, let me ask you a simple question, who is the best player of this game."

"That's too difficult, Antonio. I'm not very smart, I don't know."

Knight was unwilling to cooperate with Cassano to show off.

Everyone laughed.

Cassano took out a 100-pound pound from somewhere and waved it in front of Knight.

"In fact, the answer is in what you just said. You have mentioned that word."

"Oh, really?"

Knight pretended to be thoughtful, and took the pound from Cassano when he was not paying attention.

Said with a smile.

"I thought about what I just said. The word 'I' appeared twice, soI am the best player of the match? Thank you, this 100 pounds must be a reward for the best player~"

"Wow, you are shameless! Give it back to me!"

"No, give it back, you are the most shameless one!"

The two laughed and wrestled together, and soon, Cassano, who had a bigger advantage in size, hugged Knight from behind.

Just at this time.

A female cleaner at the Emirates Stadium entered the locker room to clean up.

Seeing the scene of Cassano behind Knight.

"Damn it! ! Two men! ! In front of so many people!"

The cleaning lady covered her face and ran out cursing.

The atmosphere in the locker room froze instantly.

Stuart touched his beard and spoke faintly.

"If any media reports tomorrow that two male players of Manchester City messed around in the locker room of the Emirates Stadium... you two will be responsible for cleaning the toilets in the players' restaurant for a week. ”

Hahaha Except for the two of them, the rest of the Manchester City players burst into laughter instantly.

.........................................................

The Sun: "Manchester City staged a beautiful victory at the Emirates Stadium. In this game, Stewart innovatively set up a 4-2-3-1 formation and achieved excellent results."

"They suppressed Arsenal on both ends of the offense and defense. And achieved 55% of the ball possession rate. You know, before that, their average ball possession rate this season was only 43%, ranking last in the Premier League."

"Obviously, after the defeat in the first round against AC Milan, Stewart led his team to make major changes. I believe that this change will enable Manchester City to successfully defeat AC Milan and advance to the Champions League final. ——Reporter Darina. ”

Manchester City’s victory against Arsenal in the 36th round of the Premier League is enough to reverse their reputation against AC Milan.

Especially Stewart.

The criticisms a few days ago disappeared, and there were many praises instead.

But Stewart knew very well.

All this is only temporary.

Only by really defeating AC Milan away and entering the final is the only correct answer.

Early morning of May 1.

The entire Manchester City team arrived in Milan, Italy two days in advance.

Compared to Rome, the capital of Italy.

As the second largest city in Italy, Milan has less traditional and simple atmosphere and more fashion.

This is the world The world's fashion and design capital, the birthplace of half of the world's luxury brands, Armani, Versace, Fendi, Prada, Gucci, Valentino.

The name of Milan Fashion Week is world-renowned.

But Milan is not only about fashion.

There is also football here.

There are two major Serie A giants, AC Milan and Inter Milan.

And Manchester City's goal.

is to completely squeeze AC Milan out of the competition for the top of the Champions League in two days.
