Chapter 80 The Consciousness of Competing for the Fourth Place

Wenger's tactic of insisting on "self-oriented" has really played a role.

After the game began, Arsenal's series of rapid offensives really knocked on Manchester City's door

Manchester City's offense is very strong, but their defense is really only average... After thirty rounds of the league, they have conceded thirty-eight goals.

Among the top ten Premier League places, Manchester City has the most goals conceded.

Manchester City's defense is actually a lame defense line, so it's easy to concede the ball.

The two central defenders are tall and have excellent air defense capabilities, but their speed is not very fast.

The two full-backs have not equal strength, and Zabaleta is OK, but on the other side, I can't find a suitable candidate. So in this position, Mark Hughes and Benitez have tried many combinations.

Currently, Benitez chose the glorious fellow Sun Hai. Sun Hai impressed Benitez with his attitude in training, but his abilities are limited after all, and now he is older and his physical fitness has declined rapidly.

If Manchester City hadn't had a good choice here, they wouldn't have used Sun Hai's.

Arsenal broke through Manchester City's defense from Sun Hai, and Van Persie finally scored the ball into the goal guarded by Joe Hart.

When Van Persie scored, there was a huge cheer from Emirates Stadium.

"Van Persie's wonderful goal, he scored a first goal for Arsenal, and he was able to take the lead at home, which is very good news for Arsenal to make a good start for this game," Motson shouted.

"It seems that Wenger is right to insist that the team is good at playing. Defense is not what they are good at, offense is. Hiddink made a mistake. Chelsea is indeed good at defense, but it is not good to defend all the time. Defense without offense will not last long... You should know that Manchester City's defense is definitely not good, so if Hiddink had the team muster up the courage to attack at his home court, maybe it wouldn't be the result in the end..." Alan Hansen said.

"It is said that because of this game, Abramovich was very dissatisfied with Hiddink's coaching. He seemed to be not planning to give Hiddink a new contract after the end of the season..." Motson also talked about recent Premier League football gossip.

After scoring the goal, Van Persie ran to the stands where Arsenal fans gathered, waved his fists at them, inspiring more fans to cheer for Arsenal, thus creating a huge momentum and putting pressure on Manchester City players.

Arsenal fans actively responded to his call, and the cheers over the Emirates Stadium were louder.

It sounds like a volcano erupts, and you are in it and you can't hear what the person opposite you are saying, there is only a buzzing noise in your ears.

Arsenal fans are also very clear about what this game means for Arsenal. If they lose to Manchester City at home, the team's Champions League qualification will be in jeopardy.

So this game must be united and the team must provide the greatest support to let them beat Manchester City at home.

No matter how much they complain about the Arsenal team's performance, they must work together with the team at this time.

Manchester City is no longer a weak team that they didn't care about in the first half of the season. Now Manchester City has become a powerful enemy that makes them frightened...

※※※

Wenger stood up from his seat after Van Persie scored, waved his fists a few times, looking very happy.

The team is in good shape, and the players are also very motivated

This is at our home court again, listen to the huge cheers...

We can win We can beat Manchester City at home

※※※

While Arsenal players and fans were celebrating the goal, Benitez stood on the sidelines, putting his hands in his pockets of his trousers, without saying a word, and there was no change in expression on his face.

He is mentally prepared for the team to concede away goals. Manchester City has a big problem with their defense, but he has no choice. In the winter transfer market, there is really no suitable candidate, so he chose not to buy anyone, just rely on the current lineup to continue. His hope of improving the team's performance is on offense.

The same is true now.

The key to winning this game is not at all about defense, but about offense. In other words, if you want to win, you have to look at glory...

Benitez, standing on the sidelines, turned his attention to glory.

※※※

As Van Persie and his teammates celebrated the goal, Rong Guang ran to the goal and picked up the football, ran all the way to the center circle, and then put the football in. Then he did not wait for the kick-off, but put pressure on the referee.

He shouted at the referee, pointing at Van Persie, reminding the referee not to let them celebrate the goal for too long...

This scene surprised many people.

Whether it is Manchester City players or those spectators, everyone is very strange.

Because the glory of the past never did such a thing on the court.

He never cares about how long it takes for the other party to celebrate...

But today he actually did this...

※※※

After the game started, Kaka sat in front of the TV on time, and he wanted to see with his own eyes how Glory proved to him that Manchester City could qualify for the Champions League.

Caroline sat beside him and accompanied him.

Kaka does not believe that Glory can fulfill his promise.

Because Arsenal, who is competing for fourth place, is not easy to mess with.

Sure enough, Arsenal scored a goal in the 30th minute and took the lead.

The voice of the Italian commentator came from the TV: "At the beginning of the game, Arsenal launched a fierce offensive against Manchester City's goal. They were obviously not affected by Chelsea's game and did not defend at home. Sometimes, insisting on their own football is more important than winning the game... Wenger is a very persistent person in this regard... Now their persistence has been effective, and Arsenal is ahead."

The guest next to him laughed and teased Arsenal: "Arsenal, who competes for fourth place in the league in the last stage of each season, can't afford to offend him haha."

When he heard this, Kaka snorted softly from his nose.

He is still worried about Rong Guang's choice of Manchester City. He would rather Rong Guang go to Inter Milan than to go to Manchester City.

What future can a team like Manchester City have?

What led Manchester City into a giant? What helped Manchester City rise?

Excuse

It's for the money of the Middle Eastern people

This kid liked money when he was in Brazil. He was just a greedy guy. So this time he went to Manchester City just because Manchester City could offer him a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds...

※※※

Under the repeated request of Glory, the referee called back the Arsenal players celebrating the goal.

The Arsenal player who was called back was still a little confused - we didn't celebrate for long, why did the referee intervene?

How did they know that this was a strong demand from Glory?

But when we come back, we will come back. There is still a lot of time, so let's get a few more.

One goal lead is not insured.

Arsenal players who have taken the lead are ready to go. Now they feel that they are in a good state, so of course they have to hurry up and add a few more.

When the game started again, Manchester City launched a wave of offensives, which was very fast, but failed to break through Arsenal's goal.

However, Arsenal took advantage of his home court and became more and more courageous in the battle.

They quickly regained the ball possession, used their skillful skills and tacit understanding to keep the football firmly under their feet, pass it back and forth at the forefront of Manchester City's penalty area, looking for their own opportunities.

Arsenal was not in a hurry to play. If there was no good opportunity, they would rather pass it on like this. It would be difficult for Manchester City to grab it.

Manchester City's team building strategy this season is indeed problematic. It is top-heavy and has accumulated a large number of offensive players in the frontcourt, but it is very despised in defense. There are not many players who are good at defense, whether in the midfield or in the back.

So now Arsenal is firmly in control of football, and no one in Manchester City can snatch the football for a while...

What makes Arsenal scary is that they can suddenly accelerate through this slow and backward transmission.

When they accelerate, it poses a huge threat to the goal guarded by Joe Hart.

If Joe Hart hadn't performed well in this game, he would probably be far more than one goal behind now...

Arsenal fans are also good at creating a home atmosphere. Every time Arsenal completes a continuous successful pass, a huge count sounds sounded in the stands. Arsenal fans calculated Arsenal's continuous passes on the spot. In this way, pressure Manchester City is putting pressure.

Every sound of their voice can make Manchester City players feel tighter.

Manchester City fans in front of the TV were even more nervous, fearing that Arsenal would score another goal. If they fell behind two goals in the first half, it would be difficult to play in this game...

"Manchester City felt huge pressure in this game, and this is the real situation in the league sprint stage. The game with Chelsea may have made Manchester City underestimate the final competition, but you have to know that Chelsea and Arsenal are different..." Alan Hansen said. "Chelsea were ranked second before, and even if they are surpassed by Liverpool, their points allow them to stay in the first group, which means they don't have to worry about the qualification of the Champions League. Arsenal is different. They rank fourth. If Manchester City wants to replace anyone, they will definitely be the first to be squeezed down. So Chelsea and Arsenal are different in their obsession with victory..."

"If Manchester City players face today's Arsenal with the mentality of playing Chelsea, they may lose..."

Finally, Alan Hansen came to the conclusion.
