The opening partner Harland swept the European powers

July 19, 2020.

Wembley Stadium.

When Chen Feng and the others were talking, a familiar figure appeared again.

Arteta, the current manager of Arsenal, appeared in the player tunnel, and after greeting his own players, he did not forget to chat with Chen Feng and others.

Later, it was the appearance of Guardiola that took him away.

Coming to the sidelines, the two chatted a few words and separated.

Arteta, "Boss, show mercy to your subordinates!" "

Guardiola," each by his ability! The

words fell, and the players from both sides slowly appeared under the guidance of the referee, and since Wembley Stadium was still an empty stadium at the moment, the pre-match ceremony was simple.

After the selection of the side, the starting list of the two teams was announced.

Arsenal, 343:

goalkeeper: Damian Martinez.

Defenders: Tierney, Papastasoplos, Mustafi.

Midfielders: Maitland Niles, Xhaka, Ceballos, Bellerin.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pepe.

The lineup of the tower commander has undergone a big change compared to the first time the two sides met.

The first is the change in formation, after realizing that the 4231 lineup is less than the slightest threat to today's Manchester City, the boss decisively gave up!

Enable the formation of 343!

Secondly, there is a change in personnel!

In the last meeting, Leno tried his best, which Arteta knows, but he feels that there is still room for improvement in the position of goalkeeper.

This is not, directly put Martin, who has performed very well recently and has repeatedly kept clean sheets, into the starting position!

Leno, come off the bench!

At the back, David Luiz, who played a catastrophic game, did not even make the squad this time, and veteran Papastasopros was given a chance to start.

Partnering him is the young player Tierney, the veteran Mustafi!

Four midfielders, said to be four midfielders, are actually double midfielders + bilateral defenders, and the flexible Ceballos partners the steady Xhaka in the midfield!

Two full-backs, the coach chose the youngster Niles and Bellerin from his own academy!

The three forwards are not too much to go into detail, these three are the main strikers of the team!

On the bench, still sitting, Saka, Willock, Holding, Torrera, Nelson and others, ready to be called!

Manchester City, 4231

: goalkeeper:

Ederson.

Defenders: Mendy, Eric Garcia, De Ligt and Kyle Walker.

Back: De Jong, De Bruyne.

Front: Sterling, Chen Feng, Mahrez.

Forward: Haaland.

Interestingly, after the boss dropped the 4231 lineup, Guardiola chose this set.

This is destined to be an interesting game!

......

The whistle sounded.

In the first 10 minutes, both teams were more tentative, and the threatening offense had not yet appeared.

Through this 10-minute trial, Arteta discovered something.

Manchester City's midfield is useless!

Why?

On the surface, this is a 4231, double-back lineup, in fact, De Bruyne is more tasked with being involved in the attack up front!

The task of backfield, defense, more is given to De Jong!

If anything, the formation of 4141 is more in line with the current Manchester City.

If that's the case, then there's a breakthrough!

Taking advantage of a dead goal, Arteta called the two disciples of the midfield to his side and seriously instructed.

Back on the pitch, let's take a look at Manchester City's attack.

In the 11th minute, Kevin De Bruyne tried straight and Raheem Sterling's cross from the bottom left was broken by Tierney in the lead.

Manchester City didn't get a chance to hit the goal!

In the 13th minute, Mustafi handled the ball at the back and dragged it a little, which was snatched by Haaland!

Fortunately, Xhaka quickly returned to the defense and helped Martin resolve the danger!

In the 16th minute, Xhaka sent a straight shot, Aubameyang successfully reversed the offside and got a single chance, but unfortunately when he finally dealt with the ball, he played too right!

The ball was saved by Edson!

In the 18th minute, City's attack was pressed back, and Arsenal launched a fierce press.

When the ball was then transferred from the front to the back, there was a problem.

De Jong doesn't even have a teammate around him who can help, and once he is pressed by the opposing team's double midfield, the ball is easily broken!

And the referee ignored Chen Feng, who fell to the ground, which made Arsenal's counterattack directly succeed!

After several turns, the ball came to the right side, this position, Pepe tried to pass, and after success, sent a 45-degree angle to pick a pass and found a teammate in the box!

Aubameyang !!

Back point, small angle tackle shot, Edson is powerless to return to the sky!

Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City!

Yo roar -

The Gabonese goalscorer who scored swept away the frustration of the previous league and put out his signature celebratory move, doing a backflip on a pitch without spectators.

After landing steadily, accept the praise of your teammates around you!

The beautiful sheep and sheep out of Dort!

It's strong!!

......

On the sidelines, Guardiola has realized that something is wrong, a single back, it seems that he can't withstand the impact of Arsenal's squad, so, should changes be made?

Gua Shuai is entangled!

This is not something that can be easily changed, if you want to change the formation!

It's inevitable to use up a substitution!

This is a huge blow to the confidence of the players and the morale of the team!

Forget it, wait and see!

Guardiola finally chose to stand still, but he wanted to see what skills he had learned from the disciples he had brought out.

In the 23rd minute, Chen Feng took a free kick and attacked the goal vigorously, seeing that he was about to score into the net!

As a result, Arsenal's little-known substitute goalkeeper actually contributed a divine save, blocked his palms in front of the goal line, and abruptly saved Chen Feng's free kick!

Gee!

Chen Feng smacked his tongue, it's worthy of you, Big Martin, Niu Bu!

Chen Feng has a hunch that after today's battle, Martin's status in the Arsenal team will rise!

Not to mention, directly replace Leno's starting goalkeeper position, more opportunities to play, is not running!

No way! Bull!

On the sidelines, Guardiola and Arteta made the same head-hugging motion, and it was clear that they were shocked by Martin's strong saving ability!

Looking back at the pitch, in the 28th minute, De Bruyne tried a long-range shot!

Martinez again!

Keep the ball out steadily!

Tintin frowned slightly, and found that something was wrong, and the goalkeeper on the opposite side was really a little raw!
