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

Chapter 546

Under the clear sky of London, more than 60,000 Gunners fans stared at the stadium in amazement.

On the big screen, the scoreboard was jumping, Arsenal 0:1 Manchester City.

"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"

"GGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL!!!"

"Oh my god!!"

"Oh my god!!"

"Less than half a minute into the game, to be exact, it was the 17th second!"

"Manchester City scored a goal!"

"Assist from Cassano, Su Fei's violent header!"

"1:0!"

"This is a real lead at the start!"

"Look at the goal replay..."

"Is this really the Manchester City we are familiar with recently? The midfield attack is smooth, Bale's explosive dribble tears open the wing, Modric's magical outside foot cross, Cassano's lob pass is full of spirit."

"I haven't seen it for a long time."

"Manchester City played such a beautiful attack."

"In recent times, Manchester City's goals have come more from Su Fei's impressive personal ability."

At this time at the Emirates Stadium, Stewart, standing on the side of the field, was even more excited than the players on the field.

He waved his fist and roared to the sky.

Whether it was Bale, who was mentioned by him as the starting player, or Cassano, who played as a midfielder for the first time, they all brought him surprises.

The most important thing is.

In this round, he saw the team's long-lost midfield cooperation.

Not far away.

Wenger's brows were twisted into a knot.

Manchester City scored a goal in 17 seconds after the start. Damn, who can stand this.

Especially thinking about.

Stewart, under his own guidance, put out this all-out attack and defense 4231 formation that emphasizes midfield control.

It's even more uncomfortable.

It's broken.

It's completely broken today.

This old guy really made it.

What no coaching talent, what stupid brain is all bullshit.

Isn't this a quick realization?

Actually.

Wenger really blamed Stewart for making the old man think of making such a huge lineup adjustment in a short period of time.

The old man really can't do it.

Even if he thought of it, he didn't dare to implement it.

But Wenger gave Stuart inexplicable confidence.

Sometimes.

To do something, confidence is the most important thing. Only if you are not afraid of making mistakes, you dare to try.

And Stuart, who has suffered a series of blows recently and lost confidence, especially needs this confidence.

After Stuart celebrated.

He looked at Wenger with gratitude. How could the professor have a good face? His eyes were almost rolled up to his head.

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

The game was reopened in the middle circle, and the Arsenal players were still a little confused.

When Henry kicked off.

He also looked at the head coach on the sidelines for help.

He wanted some instructions.

As a result, he found that Wenger was "flirting" with Stuart, and could only silently pass the ball to Fabregas behind him for organization.

For Arsenal.

The good news is that they played against Manchester City last time, 3:3, and also scored 3 goals against Manchester City.

So their attack was particularly aggressive and confident.

The bad news is.

When they followed the idea of ​​the last match, they wanted to use intensive short passes in the midfield to break through Manchester City's defense.

Then they sent the ball to the front court to create opportunities.

They were surprised to find that.

It was particularly difficult to break through Manchester City's midfield defense today.

Manchester City, which played three forwards, first had Bale, Cassano and Knight as the first line of defense.

Although the three were typical strong in offense and weak in defense.

But Bale and Knight were very fast and could keep up with Arsenal's wing breakthroughs, and behind Cassano.

was the coordinated defense of Martinez and Modric.

Martinez's defensive ability as a defensive midfielder is needless to say, although Modric is a little worse in confrontation.

But this guy's brain is at the level of a Golden Ball midfielder.

Defensive positioning, one-on-one defense, and flexible running brought Arsenal's offensive pressure, which was not inferior to Martinez at all.

Seeing the defensive barrier formed by the team's double defensive midfielders on the field.

Successfully blocked Arsenal's attack several times.

......

Stewart on the side of the field, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes bright.

He couldn't help but look at Wenger not far away.

Deep in his heart.

Stewart is almost a fan of Wenger.

Because Modric and Martinez are playing as double defensive midfielders, he is also influenced by Wenger.

"Many excellent midfielders can adapt to multiple positions."

This sentenceInspired by his words.

As expected of Wenger, it seems that he has long realized that Modric can play all midfield positions.

Wenger felt Stuart's gaze again.

Resisted the urge to turn around and look at this guy.

Rolled his eyes again.

Damn it.

I'm really a bad mouth. Isn't this asking for trouble?

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

In the ESPN live broadcast room, the two commentators clearly felt the changes in Manchester City today.

"The game has reached the 30th minute and entered the second half of the first half."

"According to real-time statistics."

"Manchester City currently has 53% possession!"

"I haven't seen Manchester City have more than 50% possession data for a long time."

"And it's not just the cold numbers of possession."

"Since the start of the game."

"Manchester City's several threatening attacks all came from the participation and cooperation of several midfielders on the court."

"Defensively."

"Manchester City's midfield defense is also tighter."

"If you compare Manchester City's recent game videos, it's hard to imagine that Manchester City today is the same team as before."

-【To be honest, today's game was really beautiful. It's not the kind of beautiful that Su Fei suddenly showed off his skills before, but the overall beauty. 】

-【I actually had a feeling that Manchester City was at ease. 】

-【We should have played like this a long time ago. Although we have been winning this season, I always feel that something is missing. Today I understand that it is the feeling of controlling the rhythm of the game. 】

-【Only today, Manchester City looks like a real strong team. 】

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

While the fans in the live broadcast room were discussing, Manchester City's offensive on the field resumed.

35th minute of the game.

James started the goal kick and passed it to Cannavaro.

Cannavaro passed it to Modric.

Modric, in the double defensive midfielder, not only defended, but also served as the metronome and midfield transition in the new tactical system.

Modric advanced with the ball, and Manchester City's front line coordinated.

Henry approached Modric and launched a steal.

Modric passed the ball to Cassano in front, and Cassano passed the ball to Sun Jihai who was advancing on the right.

Because there are two defensive midfielders.

So in the new tactical system, Zambrotta and Sun Jihai, who serve as Manchester City's left and right full-backs.

There is also more tactical freedom to advance.

Sun Jihai crossed the center line with the ball.

He and Knight made a tacit two-on-one cooperation.

He broke through Arsenal's right midfielder Rosicky.

Then.

Knight received the return pass in the frontcourt.

Attack the junction of the three zones.

He sent another cross pass to the middle, sending the ball to Cassano who had been serving as a transfer in the middle.

Cassano faced Fabregas.

He faked a pull.

He faked a dunk and passed the ball.

He sent the ball to Su Fei at the top of the penalty area.

Su Fei took the ball with his back.

He turned around and got rid of it, pushed Campbell away, and then raised his foot to shoot.

"Bang!!"

The football rose from the ground, brushed the crossbar, and poured into the goal.

2:0!
