Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 236

Ederson immediately took two steps to the left to save the ball.

But unfortunately, before he made the save, the ball had already entered the net!

"The ball went in!"

"Saka's header helped Arsenal equalize the score!"

"The two sides staged a very fast attack and defense transition."

"Finally, Arsenal finally found a counterattack opportunity!"

"A beautiful midfield transfer, Martinelli found a good angle!"

"Ederson's reaction couldn't catch up with Saka's header!"

"A few minutes ago, Coach Zhang and I were still talking about whether Saka, who received a yellow card, would become the failure of Arsenal's starting lineup today."

"I didn't expect him to save the team with a goal immediately and help Arsenal stabilize the situation!"

"Today, the performance of the front midfielders on both sides was very good. It can really be said that you sing and I come on stage!"

"Each of them has been leading the way for hundreds of years!"

The moment Saka scored the goal, the Emirates Stadium cheered and shook instantly.

The Gunners fans started cheering!

Saka's song resounded throughout the stadium!

Saka, who scored a goal, ran to the sidelines, and then the England international waved his arms, signaling the fans to cheer and scream louder!

Chen Chen, standing at the top of the penalty area, wiped his face.

Today's Arsenal made him feel unfamiliar, they were better than the Arsenal at the beginning of the season!

But...

Chen Chen turned his head and looked at the time on the big screen.

It was only the 24th minute, and he hadn't played a third of the game, so there was plenty of time for him to play!

"Beep!"

The game resumed near the center circle.

Arsenal, who had equalized the score, had a certain confidence and courage, and the Arsenal began to try high pressure.

The two sides were caught in a battle for ball possession in the middle area.

The 26th minute of the game.

Chen Chen dribbled the ball on the left.

With a handsome fried meatball, Chen Chen passed Saka who turned back to defend and Partey who was blocking him.

Then he passed the ball with the outside of his left foot, and the ball came to Sterling's feet.

Chen Chen created a very good cross-court opportunity for Sterling.

Of course, Happy Lin also chose this way.

Sterling swung his left leg and kicked the ball.

The ball soon came to the penalty area, and Jesus and Mahrez quickly jumped up to fight for the ball.

But in the end, Gabriel, who was 190 cm tall, cleared the ball.

Soon the time passed the 30-minute mark and came to the 32nd minute.

It was still Manchester City's offensive opportunity.

De Bruyne, who had the ball, chose to look for Mahrez in front.

Many people know that the biggest reason why Mahrez can gain a foothold in the top league is that he has good speed and excellent dribbling and ball control skills.

So what else?

In addition to speed and dribbling, the Algerian international also has very good standing center attributes!

Of course, it is a very general statement to say that he is standing still. To be more precise, his balance ability is extremely strong!

Thanks to his strong balance ability + dribbling skills, Mahrez is sometimes arranged by Guardiola to the center position.

And now, Mahrez and Jesus are running in a cross position, Jesus is pulling to the side, and the polo king is at the center position.

After receiving the ball, Mahrez resisted Gabriel's leg interception and steadily controlled the ball.

After De Bruyne ran up, Mahrez gave the ball back.

De Bruyne took the opportunity to kick the ball to Chen Chen who was waiting to receive it on his left hand side.

Facing Partey and Gabriel who were about to come over with their teeth and claws, Chen Chen suddenly had an idea!

Chen Chen knocked the ball with his heel, and the ball rolled to the feet of Ake who had inserted into the position.

Just when the opponent lost the defense of the "player with the ball", in this brief moment of daze, Chen Chen rushed directly from the opponent's back line!

At the same time, Ake's through ball was late but arrived!

Arsenal's back line was once again in danger!

Ramsdale chose to leave the goal, and the young England international quickly went to the ground.

Risking the danger of committing a foul and sending a penalty, Ramsdale rushed directly to Chen Chen's feet!

"Bang!"

Facing his national team teammates, Chen Chen did not choose to go head-to-head with Ramsdale.

He took a very clever lob shot!

The ball flew over the head of Ramsdale who was defending on the ground, and rushed straight to the net.

Fu Yasu Jianyang gritted his teeth and ran desperately towards the goal. He wanted to make an extreme hook defense!

Unfortunately, this ball was closer to the goal, and he, Fu Yasu Jianyang, was farther away from the goal.

How could he catch up?

In the end, Tomiyasu Kenhiro failed to hook the ball and threw himself into the net.

And the football he had been thinking about was right there.Next to him!

"Got it!"

"Chen Chen!"

"A wonderful offside run!"

"A very light lob shot, Chen Chen once again helped Manchester City surpass the score!"

"Ake came up too timely, after Chen Chen gave the ball, the Arsenal players instantly lost their defensive targets."

"This created an opportunity for Chen Chen! He seized this fleeting opportunity!"

"This is a very wonderful cooperation! From Ake and Chen Chen!"

"We can see that Chen Chen, who scored the goal, rushed directly to the corner flag area! Now is his unique scoring moment!"

In the corner flag area, Chen Chen slid up and stood up very smoothly.

Facing the noisy Arsenal fans in the corner area, Chen Chen opened his hands and waved them up and down at the same time.

He was asking the Arsenal fans to boo and taunt louder!

Saka had just done the same action, and he copied and pasted it directly.

Of course, the action is the same, but the meaning of the two people is different.

The Arsenal fans on both sides of the corner area were obviously die-hard fans, and they started to curse wildly.

Chen Chen ignored the Arsenal fans on both sides of the stands. He turned around and hugged his teammates who came up to celebrate!

Guardiola on the sidelines was also very excited.

The Spaniard shook hands with his assistants one by one.

Although it sounds a bit hindsight, to be honest, Guardiola had foreseen all this.

Chen Chen is not only outstanding in his organization and dribbling skills, but also in his keen sense of smell and ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal!

As long as the ball is at Chen Chen's feet, the goal will come soon!

If the Golden Boy Award was not more based on the data of the entire season, how could Pedri have a chance?

As for the Golden Ball Award.

Guardiola is sure that if Chen Chen came to Manchester City last year and performed as explosively as this year, the Golden Ball Award would most likely go to Chen Chen!

What about Messi?

Guardiola returned to his seat and sat down.

The more he looked at Chen Chen, the more satisfied he felt!

If Messi is a talented player, then Chen Chen is a talented explosive player!
