Chapter 709 Strengths and Weaknesses

The hotness of this game can be predicted. Almost all the players of the two teams participated in the pre-match spat. However, from the looks of it, the hotness was hot, but the game was more than intense but not exciting enough.

In just 2 minutes, Yaya Toure applied for the first yellow card of the game for a foul. Rosicky held the ball in the middle and was pulled to the ground by the Manchester City midfielder.

It has to be said that the chief referee of this game is quite strict in law enforcement, and the behavior of drawing cards at the beginning of the game effectively stopped the subsequent foul actions of both sides.

But even so, the two teams continued to make small fouls. Even in the 6th minute, De Jong almost shoveled Van Persie into the air, and the two Dutch national team teammates glared.

Of course, Alexander Song often fouled Li Feng, but Li Feng had bugs, so facing Alexander Song's tackle, Li Feng had no pressure to dodge.

In the first 10 minutes, neither side had a single shot. Manchester City scored twice into Arsenal's hinterland, but they were all stopped by offside tactics by Arsenal's defense.

Arsenal also attacked the hinterland of Manchester City twice, but they were intercepted by Manchester City defenders. Once, De Jong shoveled Van Persie, and the second time was blocked by Boateng.

No. In the 12th minute, Arsenal, who were playing at home, ushered in the first official shot of the game, which came from Rosicky's volley.

Sagna made a sudden pass from the back and was cleared by Kompany, but the ball that went out of the penalty area came to the leader of Gibson on the left.

Two minutes later, it was Arsenal's attack again, but this attack also resulted in the first controversial penalty, Rosicky appeared on the wing and then crossed.

Van Persie and Kompany competed for the top in the penalty area. In the end, the ball was pushed out of the baseline by Kompany, but Van Persie fell in the penalty area of ​​Manchester City. For a while, the Emirates Stadium ushered in a shout: "Penalty~~~."

However, the referee shook his finger, thinking that this was not a penalty. Kompany's defense was quite clean, and Van Persie fell to the ground because he did not stand still.

Of course~~~ This is the chief referee's point of view. As for whether it is true, it is estimated that only the two parties know, but since the judgment has already been made, it will not help the matter to say more.

But the fans will not just let the referee go. In the next period of time, the Arsenal fans added another object to boo, and that was the referee Atkinson of this game.

But even so, Van Persie ushered in his first goal of the game, followed by a corner kick, Arsenal defender Koscielny won the first spot, and the ball was headed to Van Persie in front of the goal.

Then an unfortunate thing happened to Manchester City. Yaya Toure suddenly fell to the ground while attacking Manchester City. Van Basten had to make a forced substitution. Yaya Toure, who was sent down by the team doctor, also missed the next two rounds of the league and the first round of the Champions League because of this time.

Yaya Toure is replaced by Barry. Although Miner is comprehensive, his defense is still weak. From the opening point of view, Rosicky is very active. If Miner plays, it will definitely put a lot of pressure on Rosicky. So Van Basten finally chose Barry, who has better defensive ability.

The substitution ended, the game continued, Manchester City continued to attack, the ball passed to Balotelli's feet, but the Italian was intercepted by Vermaelen, and then Alexander Song suddenly came out from behind and tackled the ball.

Out of anger, Balotelli acted irrationally again, stamping on Alexander Song who was still on the ground. Fortunately, the head coach didn't see it, otherwise this kind of retaliatory behavior would definitely be a card.

However, Manchester City's first goal is still far away, and the ball has returned to Arsenal's feet. It has to be said that Fabregas' departure this season has had a considerable impact on Arsenal.

This can be seen from Arsenal's performance this season. The lack of a real organizer in the midfield makes Arsenal's attack look a bit messy, and this has plagued Arsenal for a whole season.

Ramsey is still too young. Although his talent is impressive, he is not mature. Although Arteta is also from La Masia, his strength is limited, and Rosicky has almost been destroyed by injuries.

Since his transfer to Arsenal in 06, the genius who was once expected to take over the golden generation of the Czech Republic has spent almost half of his time fighting against injuries.

It has to be said that Cesc Fabregas’ approach is a bit unethical. The reason why he is today is due to his own talent on the one hand, and Wenger’s training and trust on the other. However, in the summer, in order to return to Barcelona, ​​he did not hesitate to fall out with Wenger and Arsenal.

The meaning of Fabregas and Li Feng's transfer is completely different. Li Feng is indeed going to leave, but he did not make any trouble with the club when he left. For this reason, Bayern Munich got a transfer with a sky-high price, and Li Feng was not trained by Bayern Munich. The person he is really grateful for is Van Gaal.

No. In the 18th minute, Arsenal ushered in the third goal of the game, still from Rosicky. From the beginning to now, the most active player is the Czech midfielder who has been sick before.

After receiving a pass from Arteta, Rosicky broke through De Jong, then slammed into the box with the cooperation of Van Persie and completed a powerful shot, forcing Joe Hart to make the first save of the game.

It can also be seen that although Arsenal have completed three shots, only Rosicky's shot is really inside the goal frame.

"The time has almost passed 10 minutes, but Manchester City has never hit the goal, but~~~Although Arsenal have the advantage, they have very few threatening attacks."

Just when the time passed No. 20 minutes, Manchester City finally ushered in the first shot of the game, which came from Balotelli's forced turn and volley.

Li Feng performed solo on the middle road, breaking through Rosicky and Arteta was actually not difficult for Li Feng, even if it was Alexander Song, when Li Feng really wanted to break through, Alexander Song might not be able to stop him.

In the end, Li Feng passed the ball to Balotelli, who had been raising his hand while being double-teamed outside the penalty area. The latter turned around and hit the goal when facing Koscielny. The ball was confiscated by Szczesny without any accident.

However, just after Balotelli finished shooting, Aguero on the right side was not far away, because the Argentine was almost open. In this case, Balotelli should pass the ball instead of substituting.
