"Offside?"

"Oh my God, the linesman flagged it was offside."

"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replays from different angles. When Sturridge started, Koscielny and Djurou were at the back. Sturridge was in a parallel position with them. How could it be? What about an offside call?"

"This was absolutely a very clear miscarriage of justice."

"We saw that Sturridge was very dissatisfied with this penalty. He jumped up from the ground and chased the referee to ask for an explanation. He obviously felt that he could not be offside. The linesman's penalty was indeed very surprising."

"Looking at it from another angle, this time it is even clearer. Sturridge paid great attention to maintaining his position and even deliberately fell behind. It can be seen that he is very confident in his speed and quickly moved away after starting. Djurou and Koscielny were called on, and it was a wonderful anti-offside shot."

"Everyone in Manchester City was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. This was originally supposed to be a penalty kick, or maybe even a red card, but unexpectedly the linesman ruled that Manchester City was offside. The difference is really too great."

"Arsenal's players were also protesting. They believed that Manchester City was indeed offside and were suspected of putting pressure on the referee. Both sides looked a little excited on the field. The referee obviously had some doubts about the linesman's decision and ran to the field. While asking about the situation, the linesman was obviously very sure of his judgment."

"Offside!"

"The referee finally gave a clear penalty."

Gao Han looked helpless on the sidelines. He turned his head towards Wenger, who was looking at him, and spread his hands, as if to say, you are really lucky, otherwise, you are dead.

Wenger glanced at him, pretended not to notice, turned his head and continued to look at the field.

"Hey guys!"

Gao Han clapped vigorously, attracting the attention of all the players on the court.

"It doesn't matter, cheer up. This is just a misjudgment. At best, it can only cost us one less goal. Keep cheering up and keep playing like this, and we can score another goal."

Gao Han's shouts made the players on the court no longer bother with the referee.

In fact, there is no need for it.

When the line referee is so sure, even if the referee has doubts, it is impossible to overturn the line referee's decision. This misjudgment can only be pursued after the game, but it has nothing to do with the game itself.

Kaka, who was wearing the captain's armband in this game, was also clearly aware of this. He immediately called all his teammates to his side, conveyed the coach's intentions to all his teammates, and signaled his teammates to stay calm.

"come on, come on, come on!!!"

The Manchester City players stacked their right hands together and dispersed in a rush, letting everyone feel their high fighting spirit, and also making Wenger's face on the sidelines become more solemn.

The game starts again.

As soon as Arsenal kicked the ball out, Manchester City grabbed the first spot and headed the ball back to the midfield.

After David Silva and Kaká passed a quick pass in succession, the Spaniard passed it to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo. After the Portuguese got rid of Sagna, he directly fired a long shot.

The shot came so suddenly that Szczesny was taken aback and was about to react, but the ball missed.

Arsenal also quickly counterattacked. Wilshere passed the ball from the midfielder. Van Persie pulled the ball to the left side of the penalty area and hit the goal from a small angle, but the ball went high.

A minute later, Arsenal's offense came back. Nasri broke through Zabaleta and passed low to the right rib. Walcott used his speed to penetrate the penalty area and got ahead of Vertonghen. He fired a low shot, but was missed. Cech stuck in position and hugged him.

Arsenal's two consecutive attacks created threats, which made the Gunners fans at the scene very excited.

But Manchester City is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Soon, Blue Moon launched an offensive. After receiving the ball, Gareth Bale on the right tried to use his speed to break through Clichy, but was blocked by Koscielny who was back on defense in front of the baseline. The final shot The left-footed pass from the center also hit Koscielny and bounced out of the baseline for a corner kick.

David Silva sent a corner kick, and Arsenal center back Djurou grabbed the first shot in the penalty area and headed the ball to clear the ball. However, after Kaka stopped the ball on his chest outside the penalty area, he adjusted and hit the goal directly.

The ball hit Alexander Song's leg and bounced off the baseline, resulting in another corner kick.

David Silva once again took a corner kick. This time Vertonghen grabbed the first shot in the penalty area and headed the goal from close range, but the angle was not correct and went slightly wide.

The two teams were engaged in a fierce battle. The pace of the game was very fast and the scenes were extremely exciting. The fans at the scene were delighted, but the game was mostly played in Arsenal's half.

…………

…………

"Tell Milner to go a little further forward and choke Wilshere."

"And Kaka, don't fight with Alexander Song, it's meaningless."

"Be careful Nasri, this kid is difficult to deal with."

…

Just before Gao Han's instructions were conveyed to the court, Arsenal counterattacked again and reached the frontcourt. Walcott passed the ball to Nasri on the right. The French players got rid of Zabaleta and Felipe in succession. After two players, Bertonghen forced a shot after being blocked by Javi Martinez.

But this time the shot did not have too many angles, and goalkeeper Cech cooperated well, so strictly speaking there was no threat.

But Gao Han was still a little dissatisfied, "Hey, pay attention to Nasri and don't give him a chance, understand?"

A minute later, Manchester City quickly retaliated.

David Silva's diagonal pass allowed Gareth Bale to get behind him and get a chance to volley from the front of the penalty area. However, he was too hasty and failed to adjust the angle. The intensity was I had it, but the angle was too right, and Szczesny confiscated it on the spot.

However, this can be regarded as a lesson to Arsenal.

"That kid Vertonghen is really troublesome in defense." Looking at Gao Han coming back, Brian Kidd shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The Belgian left center back certainly has the strength, both in terms of physical fitness and personal ability, there is no doubt about it, but he is just too impatient, but this is normal, for a player like him who is very mobile and very invested in the game. , often have such problems.

Passion and stability are often incompatible.

This is why Gao Han is very optimistic about him but does not let him replace Kompany.

At the very least, Kompany is more stable than Vertonghen.

"There are only two players with the strongest personal abilities in the Arsenal team, Robin van Persie and Nasri. These two boys have to be guarded." Gao Han said.

After Van Persie returned from injury, he showed his strength as the world's top scorer. He scored 11 goals in eight games. It is really unimaginable. If he could play a complete season, how many goals could he score?

What's more, this is still in a team like Arsenal. If it is in a top team, it is estimated that the number of goals will be more.

As for Nasri, he has gradually shouldered the burden of Arsenal's frontcourt offense. Behind him is the playmaker Cesc Fabregas. He is more of the offensive core of the frontcourt. He has superior personal abilities and his performance is also quite outstanding.

However, what is interesting is that both players are now encountering contract renewal problems.

Van Persie is not particularly anxious. He still has two and a half years left, but Nasri only has one and a half years left. If the contract cannot be renewed in the second half, it is estimated that he will be sold during the winter break, including Real Madrid and Barcelona. Many wealthy teams in the country are very interested in him.

Of course, the French international only has one year left on his contract, so he may not be able to get a good price.

"I'm not worried about the right wing. Mascherano's defense never disappoints me, but it's the left wing..."

Gao Han glanced at Vertonghen again and shook his head.

This guy is like a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will hurt the enemy. If you use it incorrectly, you will hurt yourself. Fortunately, he is still relatively young, so take your time.

Almost all outstanding defenders are the result of hard work and abuse.

"You go tell them, it's fifteen minutes, calm down, don't go so fast, control the ball, but keep the pressure on the frontcourt, don't let them breathe."

Brian Kidd immediately took the order and stepped forward.

Gao Han once again turned his head and glanced at Wenger. The latter still had his usual bitter and worried look, which made Gao Han feel much more balanced.

He knew very well that as long as one goal was needed, Arsenal would be basically finished.

…………

…………

As Manchester City retreated, the pace of the game gradually slowed down, and all the fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

From the beginning to now, the game has been too intense and the pace is too fast. The two sides are fighting back and forth, which is dizzying. Now it is appropriate to slow down a little, just in time to take a breath.

After the tempo slowed down, the ball was controlled by Manchester City.

Modric was not present in this game. David Silva was closer to Zabaleta and took on more of the responsibility of organizing and organizing the midfield. Milner's position was relatively high, and he had a very important role. The task is to suppress Arsenal's midfield, especially Wilshere.

In terms of creativity and passing ability, Milner is definitely not as good as his teammates, but when it comes to tactical execution, the England international has always completed the head coach's tasks meticulously.

In addition, Rosicky on the left was almost suppressed by Mascherano and had no performance at all. Therefore, Arsenal's entire midfield organization fell into chaos, which forced Nasri to retreat more actively. Answer.

The disadvantages of losing Fabregas have gradually emerged, that is, the midfielder's ability to play the ball has declined sharply.

In the 21st minute, Manchester City threatened again.

Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball in from the left and moved it to the edge of the penalty area. Kaka kicked off and hit a curve ball to shoot, but it was slightly higher.

Just two minutes later, it was Manchester City's attack again. Sturridge pulled to the right. Gareth Bale crossed into the penalty area from the right rib. After receiving Sturridge's pass in the penalty area, he encountered Kos. Cherny fell to the ground after defending, but the referee indicated that there was no foul. This was also a very correct penalty.

When the game reached the 26th minute, Arsenal finally launched a counterattack.

After Nasri retreated to receive the pass from the midfielder, he relied on his personal ability to get rid of Zabaleta and passed the ball to Robin van Persie's feet. The Dutch center stopped the ball and smoothly passed Javi Martinez and broke in with the ball. Left side of the penalty area.

But at the critical moment, Mascherano came out from the side. He made a tackle that looked fierce but was extremely accurate, intercepting the ball at Van Persie's feet. The Dutch center got up and jumped over Mascherano, and Not falling to the ground.

After Javi Martinez got the ball from Mascherano, he turned around and made a long pass, sending the ball to the front court.

Arsenal's two central defenders were quickly returning to the defense and seized the most powerful position in time, but Sturridge still persevered in catching up behind him.
