Chapter 121 Ronnie! Ronnie! Ronnie Next
"There is another focus of attention in this game, that is, Zhang Yang's number of goals. Zhang Yang's current number of goals in the league is 31 goals, and he is getting closer and closer to breaking or even creating a new Premier League single-season goal record."
"In the league, there are still 8 games left in today's game. Zhang Yang still needs three goals to equalize the record, and four goals to break the record. For him, as long as he is in good shape, it is definitely not a problem."
When the players from both sides shook hands, Zhang Yang felt Galas's resentment. This guy did not shake hands with Zhang Yang at all, but just touched his finger, and it was over. Both of them looked at each other's expressions, which were not so friendly.
This immediately excited the director, and the camera camera captured the 'sparking' of the two people.
"The feud between Zhang Yang and Galas has been going on for a long time. When Zhang Yang was still playing for AC Milan, he had an unpleasant relationship with Galas. When the two teams played for the first time this season, the feud between Zhang Yang and Gallas continued again... Now, the venue of the game is from Manchester Municipal Stadium. At the Emirates Stadium in Arsenal, it is obvious that the feud between them will continue..."
The media also made enough warm-up for the game before the game. The headline of the Mirror before the game is: Revenge!
When the two sides played against each other in the first half of the season, Manchester City beat Arsenal 6-12 at home, which is also Arsenal's worst defeat in recent years.
It was this game that shocked the whole of Europe, the highly suspected team of Manchester City, and those skeptics also began to look at this 'start team' with prudent eyes.
Manchester City has earned enough face and attention from this big victory, but this fiasco is a humiliation for Arsenal! Arsenal fans are hateful when they mention this fiasco. Now, they have welcomed Manchester City at home. Arsenal fans and players are gritting their teeth to revenge!
The players on both sides stood in their respective positions, and the football was also placed in the middle circle, waiting for the referee Weber's opening whistle to sound.
At this time, referee Webb received a signal from the two linesmen and confirmed that there was nothing to do. He looked at the time again before blowing the highlight of the 31st round of the 2008/2009 Premier League season, the away game between Manchester City and Arsenal.
At present, the two teams are close to the points in the league. Manchester City ranks fourth in the league with 56 points, and Arsenal ranks fifth in the league with 55 points! The result of this game will, to a large extent, determine which of the two teams can get tickets for the Champions League qualifiers next season!
In addition, in the first round of the two sides, Manchester City beat Arsenal 6-1 at home. In this game, Arsenal is determined to revenge!
Therefore, this game has also attracted great attention from the media and fans. Everyone expects that this will be another wonderful goal battle. With Ronaldo scoring goals in two consecutive games, now, the media are also talking about the front line of Manchester City. The attack of Manchester City with Zhang Yang, Ronaldo and Robinho is super luxurious! They all want to see how such a Manchester City team can perform at the Emirates Stadium?!
However, after the game began, the fans who were ready to come to the scene to watch the offensive battle between the two teams were a little disappointed. First of all, Ronaldo did not start, and he partnered with Zhang Yang with Robinho. In addition, because Manchester City had no intention to attack at all, they hoarded a lot of troops. In the backcourt, it was clear that he wanted to fight Arsenal's counterattack.
Before the start of the game, Wenger also thought that Manchester City might adopt defensive counterattack tactics, but there was a detail before the game, that was Manchester City's head coach Mark. In an interview with the media, Hughes talked about taking a victory at the Emirates Stadium, saying that Manchester City was confident of winning Arsenal again. It can be said that Mark. Hughes's behavior still confused Wenger. He thought Mark. Hughes' team may play offensive football. Wenger believes that Manchester City's recent good condition may make Manchester City confident and dare to fight against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium! If Manchester City dares to fight against Arsenal, Arsenal will not be afraid. This team is not afraid of the opponent attacking, but afraid that the opponent does not dare to attack!
However, the situation after the start of the game surprised Wenger. After the start of the game, Manchester City shrank back a lot. Modric and Elano even retracted to the penalty area and worked as a full-back, while Wright. Phillips also came back to defend from time to time, while Zhang Yang wandered near the middle circle. There was only one Lobinho in the front, and the two stars echoed each other. Although it can't be said that this is an iron barrel array, even the pseudo-fans can see the intention of defending and then counterattacking.
Wenger frowned, so that Arsenal would be a little difficult to play.
However, the professor's expression immediately relaxed. In Arsenal's tactics, no matter what kind of formation the opponent puts out, there is only attack for Arsenal. In their opinion, there is no unbreakable defense line of Arsenal's football.
What's more, Wenger knows that Manchester City's defense is really not very good. After the long game of losing bis6 to Manchester City, Wenger also reflected that Manchester City's most powerful thing is the attack, and the team's defense is average. Now, since Manchester City has chosen defensive counterattack, there are pros and cons. The disadvantage is that it is generally difficult for Arsenal to score a goal. The advantage is that since Manchester City has taken the initiative to shrink, the defensive pressure faced by Arsenal in the game will be relatively reduced.
In Wenger's view, Manchester City completely gave up their own advantages and chose to use their disadvantages against Arsenal. It seems to be smart, but it is not wise.
When it comes to which of the Manchester City team the Arsenal people hate the most, it is definitely publicity. He is one of the people Arsenal people hate the most.
Let's not mention that when Zhang Yang was still in Milan, he was unhappy with Arsenal captain Galas at that time. After coming to Manchester City, he led Manchester City to play Arsenal 6 to 2, which was enough to make Arsenal's hatred for Zhang Yang go up another level.
When will Arsenal's hatred for publicity dissipate? Hayes, a reporter from The Times, once joked that unless Zhang Yang transferred to Arsenal and wore an Arsenal jersey...
As the 'eye thorn in the eye and meat' of Arsenal fans, after the start of the game, as long as Zhang Yang takes the ball, the Emirates Stadium must be an earth-shaking boo. Only the world changes color, and the ghosts and gods are moved by it. Unless Zhang Yang leaves the football, the boos will not stop.
However, after the start of the game, because of Manchester City's defensive counterattack tactics, there are not many opportunities to touch the ball, which also makes Arsenal fans happy and there is no lack of resentment. Naturally, it is because there are not many touching the ball, which shows that Arsenal has taken the initiative on the court. Resentment is due to I booed because I didn't get a chance...
After the start of the game, Arsenal did take the initiative of the game. Football was at their feet most of the time, and several threatening attacks were launched by Arsenal.
Because Manchester City was based on the backcourt defense, Arsenal completely took the initiative to attack and burned the war to Manchester City's half at the beginning. They want to tear apart Manchester City's intensive defense with their strong offensive ability.
However, Manchester City is also ready today. The four defenders stood in position and did not easily lose their positions. The two full-backs did not mean to press out the assists. Even the left guard of Manchester City, who had been criticized by the media for making repeated mistakes before, his performance today was relatively stable and did not give it to Asen. Too many opportunities.
What makes Arsenal most depressed is that Manchester City's fouls have increased significantly today, especially against Fabregas and Walkot, which makes Arsenal's ball run very difficult and often stops without a few passes. Moreover, Manchester City is very smart today. The fouls are all small moves and small tackles. This makes it difficult for Weber, the referee of this game, to play easily. Some fouls can only be verbally warned first.
After playing for nearly 20 minutes in the game, referee Weber showed the first yellow card of today's game. This is De Jong's foul on Fabregas in the midfield. Although the foul action is not big, considering that De Jong has been warned by Weber twice before, this time, the referee finally 'unbearable'. A yellow card was shown to Derong.
"This is the gap between De Jong and Maclele. The Dutch style is fierce, but sometimes they are not smart enough. There was no need for this foul. Now, De Jong got a yellow card, and he should pay attention to himself in the following games.
The game has been played for 20 minutes. The ball is basically running in the half of Manchester City. Manchester City has not yet shot, while Arsenal has made five shots. Although there are many shots, two of them are long-range shots outside the penalty area. One is a header obtained by using the positioning ball, and the other is The free kick went straight to the goal, and only once Fabregas took the ball to the front court and passed it to Alexander. Song, the latter passed the ball to Arshavin, and the attack was organized by the 'Russian Tsar'. Arshavin passed a ground ball. Denilson suddenly knocked on the football on the side. Adebayo completed a strong shot. This shot forced Manchester City goalkeeper Jivin to make a save and made a steady jump and hugged the football. This is Arsenal's only goal after entering the Manchester City penalty area after the start of the game.
Although the threat of this shot is not big, and Ji Wen has also succeeded in holding the football firmly, Arsenal fans still applaud Adebayor for the shot. Anyway, this is also Arsenal's own ' publicity'.
Arsenal's cheers are still ringing. In a blink of an eye, the attack and defense are changing. Manchester City's first really threatening attack has come since the start of today's game!
This was originally a seemingly ordinary attack from Manchester City. Modric controlled the ball and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Modric passed the ball!
The ball passed to Zhang Yang's feet, and Fabregas rushed up to break the ball at the first time. In today's game, Wenger gave Fabregas a very heavy task. When attacking, we should attack and organize Arsenal's attack. When defending, we should also strive to be active. It is an important barrier for Arsenal in defense!
In a word, Wenger hopes that Fabregas can play Vieira's role in Arsenal.It should be said that Fabregas' performance is still very good today. At least, the Spanish star is working very hard today! Arsenal was slaughtered by Manchester City -6-2 at Manchester Municipal Stadium. That long game is an eternal painful memory in the hearts of all Arsenal players. As the captain of Arsenal, Fabregas vowed to lead Arsenal to complete the revenge today! As the captain on the court, he first set an example today, and his attitude was very correct! Very serious! Very hard!
Fabregas grabbed it very quickly. He also thought that he could take the ball from Zhang Yang's feet, which would slow down Manchester City's attack! However, Fabregas didn't expect that Zhang Yang, who was facing him directly, suddenly stepped on the ball and turned 180 degrees and swayed at his feet!
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW - Marseille turn around!"
"Zhang Yang - Marseille roundabout! It's so beautiful!"
"Fabregas has been passed!"
Fabregas's tackle was fierce, but at this time, he could only sit on the ground and watch Manchester City's number one star turn around gracefully from him. To be honest, Fabregas is a little unconvinced that Zhang Yanggui is the first value in today's football world and his reputation is so high!
However, in this confrontation, he was fooled by Zhang Yang!
Captain Arsenal VS Manchester City flag!
Fabregas was completely defeated!
"This is the confrontation between the flag of Arsenal and the flag of Manchester City! This time, Manchester City won!" A commentator shouted loudly!
Passing the publicity of Fabregas with the 'Marsei rotation', he did not continue to dribble along the middle as Arsenal players imagined, but suddenly leaned to the side and rushed in along the side.
Clichy quickly came up to intercept Zhang Yang!
However, he was also passed immediately!
And it was broken through by Zhang Yang in the most unreasonable way - Zhang Yang slammed the ball forward, and then accelerated to bypass Clichy again!
"The human ball has been divided!"
"Crish! He was passed by Zhang Yang's speed!"
There is no doubt that the boos on the ground over the court have been ringing since Zhang Yang took the ball and shook it over Fabregas with the 'Marsei roundabout'.
When Zhang Yang followed closely and used the 'human ball to pass' from the side road, almost humiliated Christie, the boos of the whole court had reached its peak.
Arsenal fans made all possible noises, trying to interfere with the publicity.
In this deafening crazy boo, Zhang Yang was unmoved. He carried the ball along the side road and looked at the situation in the penalty area while carrying the ball.
Suddenly, Zhang Yang made an in-cutting action, which immediately attracted Tu Lei to intercept.
Attract Toure from the penalty area, which is the purpose of publicity!
Seeing that Toure was indeed mobilized by himself, Zhang Yang immediately passed the ball!
Then people saw a tall blue jersey player jumping up in the penalty area. He jumped really high!
This is Compani. He pressed Garas and completed a wonderful lion's header!
Although Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia jumped into the football, he still failed to stop the football from entering the net!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"
"Kampani! The goal was scored by Compani! This header is really beautiful! When did the Belgians rush up? Garas was completely suppressed by Compani in this header competition! One to zero! Manchester City leads Arsenal away from home!"
"Manchester City scored! The goal was scored by Compani! This is a high-altitude bombing! Compani's goal is wonderful! However, Zhang Yang's breakthrough and passing from receiving Modric's pass is the best part of Manchester City's attack and goal!"
Manchester City players celebrate the goal crazily!
Zhang Yang saw that Compani pushed the ball in, which was even more excited than his own goal! He roared, waved his arms at the stands of the Emirates Stadium, and made provocative actions to Arsenal fans!
From the beginning of the game, as long as he touches the ball, he will be booed by all the Arsenal fans. Zhang Yang is unhappy and waits for a good return. Although the ball was not scored by himself, it was assisted by him! Moreover, Zhang Yang himself felt that his series of passing and passing was quite wonderful, and he was proud of it.
Wenger's expression was a little solemn. He lost the ball when he was attacked by Manchester City! This situation is absolutely quite unfavorable for Arsenal! Arsenal must equalize the score as soon as possible, otherwise, once Manchester City enters the second half with a score of 1-0, the result of this game will be hard to say.
Arsenal now points one point less than Manchester City. For Arsenal, they must win to take the initiative in the fourth place in the league. To be honest, Manchester City can accept a draw in this game, but for Arsenal, it is an acceptable result to win.
When the game was 33 minutes, there was an accident on the field. Robinho was injured and could not continue the game. Manchester City was forced to make a substitution, and Ronaldo came on as a substitute to replace Robinho, who left due to injury.
Wenger looked at Ronaldo, who was an excited substitute, and the professor suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, just five minutes later. Just after Arsenal's attack, Manchester City counterattacked and dribbled the ball. After he attracted the attention of at least three Arsenal defenders at the front of the penalty area, he suddenly passed the header!
Ronaldo stopped the ball on his chest!
His next move was quite coherent. Facing Sarnia, who came up to grab the ball under his feet, Ronaldo suddenly pulled the ball horizontally, flashed the ball in the air, and shot it as soon as he got up!
Arsenal goalkeeper Amunia did not react to this shot at all, but could only see the football into the net.
Seeing that the net was brought up by Ronaldo's pulled out football, Wenger's expression on the sidelines was painful. The professor lowered his head and covered his face. He knew that Arsenal was suspended in this game, and once he lost this game, Arsenal's final goal of this season - Champions League qualification, It's also hanging...
