The game was a mess, but the situation was not good.
Guardiola felt very uncomfortable, so he made the classic move of touching his bald head on the sidelines.
Facing Arsenal's quick counterattack combination, even he began to have some difficulties.
Originally, he made corresponding arrangements before the game, that is, to let the team's midfielders properly block their counterattack rhythm, but he never expected that the plan could not keep up with the changes. The game had not started for half a time, and their team had received three yellow cards, which made the midfielders more and more cautious, so that they dared not make effective interception actions.
Think about it carefully, all this is miraculously related to the goalkeeper of Arsenal!
It's really impossible to get around this guy. He can't even be a goalkeeper properly, and he has to come out to negotiate with the referee. How do you know so much!
While Guardiola was lamenting the omnipresence of Arsenal's goalkeeper, Wenger on the other side was full of smiles.
This hard-won goal made Wenger very excited.
Looking at the players' state, he also seemed more confident about this game.
Although it was only a one-goal lead, in such a crucial game, it can sometimes affect the outcome of the entire game.
After the game resumed, Arsenal still did not change its tactical strategy, and continued to focus on defense and counterattack. If it could delay time, it would never be the first time to play.
This made the Arsenal players who had tasted the sweetness before very happy.
Compared with Manchester City's offensive anxiety, Arsenal's motivation is obviously much simpler. They only need to defend well and then counterattack.
Manchester City is different. They need to strengthen their offense and their defense against Arsenal's quick counterattacks. If the players don't run, they can't do it.
For this reason, when the half-time game was over, several Manchester City defenders could clearly feel that their physical strength was exhausted.
Kompany, Otamendi and others felt this particularly clearly.
They didn't want to say anything during the break, they just wanted to take a good rest during this interval, so that they could recover more physical strength for the duel in the second half.
Guardiola kept sorting out Arsenal's arrangements for the first half in the locker room, hoping to have a brand new change in the second half. The players also listened to the coach's words very seriously. As a substitute for the team, 18-year-old Foden was also on the list.
Although he knew very well that he might not have the opportunity to play in such an important game, for him, such a key game, as long as he was lucky enough to participate in it, it was a kind of experience.
Throughout the first half, he had been paying close attention to the other team's goalkeeper captain and found that this guy was really amazing. Although he looked about the same age as himself and was also very immature, Foden was impressed by the dominance he showed when he arrived on the field.
.......
"What did I say before? Arsenal, which focuses on defensive counterattacks, is absolutely a terrifying existence for Manchester City. As a result, you all saw how difficult it was for Manchester City in this game."
"Throughout the first half, although our Arsenal lags behind the opponent in offensive efficiency, the ball possession rate is not low at all. But it is precisely this point that I feel that if it weren't for the goal in the 38th minute, I might have slept!"
In Lao Jiu's live broadcast room, Lao Jiu once again instilled new knowledge for his fans in order to cheer up.
At this moment, the live broadcast room was also flooded with "Lao Jiu who watched the game while sleeping".
Because before, Lao Jiu had appeared many times when he couldn't help but fight his eyes while watching the game, and then he sat in front of the computer and fell asleep. Some netizens who were more concerned had been paying attention to his live broadcast room dynamics and found that this guy would gradually wake up almost the next day.
The quality of sleep is so good, but netizens are worried that he will easily get a stiff neck if he sleeps like this, so they all advised him to watch less games. You said you fall asleep as soon as you watch the game, what else do you watch!
Of course, Lao Jiu would jump out and refute at this time: "That's because I didn't watch the idol's game, so I fell asleep easily! Whenever there is an Arsenal game, I will definitely watch the game with my eyes wide open like a copper bell."
"My idol Lei Zong was amazing in this game. Look at the negotiation scenes that are constantly replayed in the camera.
, it is not hard to imagine that our referee may not be able to argue with Mr. Lei! No wonder he reluctantly took out three yellow cards. "
"Hahaha, three yellow cards means Manchester City must be very passive. I feel that Arsenal is sure to win this game again! "
In the live broadcast, the two teams' second-half competition has begun again. Although some players on Manchester City have received three yellow cards, considering that they are all midfielders, Guardiola did not intend to replace them now, but in the 65th minute of the game, he had to make the first adjustment of the game.
Kompany could not help but trip the opponent in front of the penalty area when facing Aubameyang's impact, and thus received another yellow card, so Guardiola simply replaced him.
The reason why the opponent was replaced so early was mainly because Guardiola felt that Kompany's physical energy had been consumed, and replacing him at this time was obviously the most appropriate decision.
Toure, who replaced Kompany, took over Kompany's team and continued to defend Arsenal tightly.
He was full of energy when he just came on the court, and Sanchez and Aubameyang were almost They were taken care of by each other to the same extent, which also prevented the two from playing effective cooperation in the next game.
After replacing Toure, Guardiola had a positive attitude towards his performance. Although Toure was old, he had to admit that he was still an indispensable member of Manchester City.
Looking at the restrictions he imposed on Arsenal's offensive players after he came on the court, we can see that he is still one of the best defensive players.
Football is football because of his unpredictability.
In the second half, Manchester City obviously improved after stabilizing their defense. As the number of attacks increased, they also got several corner kick opportunities.
At this time, Stones, who had just come on the court, had deeply absorbed the knowledge taught by the head coach, and he was very smart to run to Lei Ming before the corner kick started.
"Hey, brother, you are very tall, I am so much shorter than you!"
"Your shoulders look so safe, can you borrow them to lean on! "
He actually came closer to Lei Ming in surprise.
Fuck, you bastard, get away from me!
Lei Ming was speechless. He didn't expect to encounter Manchester City's shameless tactics again. The opponent took advantage of the time before the ball kicked off to affect him in various ways, just to distract his attention!
But what made him even more speechless was that Stones actually pulled his gloves to take a look.
"This glove is good, it's nothing like the big one at home. Let me see which manufacturer made it!"
"Fuck, you're so annoying, get away from me!"
