Chapter 924 Security
Chapter 924 Security
After the start of the match, the two sides basically did not have any tentative contact, and they immediately opened up their posture and started working.
The two sides competed fiercely, and Diego Godin, who replaced Kompany, has indeed become the focus of Arsenal.
Compared with Lucio next to him, Godin does seem to be much easier to deal with.
Faced with such a fierce offensive at the very beginning of the game, Godin was a little nervous.
After all, this is the first game he played after joining Manchester City and he started...
No. 14 minutes, when Van Persie was about to break through from his side, he tackled Van Persie, gave the opponent a free kick, and was awarded a yellow card.
The TV broadcast gave Godin a close-up shot, and Godin's expression was a little serious in the close-up shot.
"He was so nervous..." commentator John Mortensen said.
"The first time I played in the Premier League was to start, and nervousness is unavoidable... Wenger must have seen this, so he was listed as the target of Arsenal's key breakthrough. From the start of the first half to the present, 15 minutes later, most of Arsenal's offense was concentrated on Godin's side." Alan Hansen said.
Rong Guang ran back from the frontcourt and came to Godin's side. As a captain, he must care about every one of his teammates, especially after they have a problem.
These are what Rongguang has learned from the previous captains in his career for so many years-I said before that he has a strong learning ability.
He patted Godin on the shoulder, and Godin seemed to be awakened, and turned his head to look at Rongguang with a big reaction.
"Relax, Diego." Rong Guang said.
After seeing the glory, Godin quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, captain, I..."
"It's no big deal." Rong Guang didn't ask him to continue apologizing, but waved his hand. "Relax."
After speaking, he patted Godin on the shoulder again, turned and ran away.
Looking at Rong Guang's back, Godin remembered the situation when he returned from Manchester City to the Uruguay national team to participate in the game.
Lugano, his central defender teammate in the national team, patted his thigh and said in an envious tone: "You are so lucky! You even became teammates with Rong! You don't have to worry about the championship!"
"How can it be so absolute..." Godin also felt that Lugano's words were too exaggerated, he said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Lugano widened his eyes and said to him seriously: "Do you think I am joking with you, Diego? What I said is true. As long as you can be teammates with Rong, you will win at least one championship, at least the least. In fact, it is far more than this. Rong is simply synonymous with champions... I used to be teammates with him in Sao Paulo. !"
Lugano is Godin's senior in the Uruguayan national team and is also Uruguay's main central defender. Godin really never thought that such a senior he can only look up to when he talked about glory, he still expressed admiration in his tone.
"Take your time to experience it. Anyway, you are now on the same team as Rong. You will find that being a teammate with him is really a very reassuring thing. You only need to do your own thing, and you don't need to think about anything else. Rong will help you solve it."
He came out of his memories, and his eyes refocused on Rong Guang's back, number ten was Rong Guang's number.
Well, I'm already teammates with Rong, so what else is there to be nervous about?Like he said, take it easy, take it easy...
Godin began to take a deep breath, one mouthful at a time, and when he took a third deep breath, his heart, which had been beating fast before, calmed down.
※※※
The place where Godin fouled was about 34 meters away from the goal, to the right, and it can be regarded as a relatively threatening free kick location.
However, Arsenal did not seize the opportunity of this free kick, and Van Persie's free kick went directly over the crossbar.
In the stands, the Manchester City fans gloated and laughed.
The Arsenal players did not take this matter to heart.
It's no big deal not to score this free kick. The game has just started, and there are still 75 minutes, and they have plenty of time to completely defeat Godin.
At that time, goals will naturally come in a steady stream.
But not long after the game restarted, their goal was declared a loss...
No. In the 20th minute, Manchester City's offense gained the frontcourt. Berbatov's shot in the penalty area was cleared by Arsenal's Vermaelen. Matuidi cut the football again in the midfield and organized the attack again. The football was quickly passed to Rong Guang's feet.
After Rongguang took the ball, he didn't intend to break into the penalty area, nor did he intend to pass the bottom. He just made a fake move to go down, and then knocked the football into the middle with the heel of his right foot.
The football flew towards the goal like a fired shell.
Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia soared into the air, his arms outstretched, and he slammed into the football.
But Rongguang's corner kick was too tricky, aiming at the far end of the goal, Almunia was "out of reach", the football bypassed his fingers, and then... smashed hard on the crossbar!
With a bang, the football bounced out again.
Before the Arsenal fans at the scene and in front of the TV had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the ejected football just hit the back of Almunia who was still in the air...
The refraction happened again, and this time the football went where it was supposed to go before - the goal!
Then flew in.
"The ball... the ball has been scored!!!" John Mortensen froze for a moment, then raised his arms and shouted.
When he saw the football hit the crossbar and bounced off, he seemed to hold his head and feel sorry for Rong Guang's kick.What a beautiful kick, and what a shame it ended up being denied by the crossbar!
As a result, the football hit the back of Almunia, who was still in the air, and then bounced into the goal...
The ball that should be scored really can't escape!
"Almunia is really unlucky. If he didn't pounce the ball, it might hit the crossbar and bounce off..." Alan Hansen said with a smile beside him. "This goal should probably be scored..."
※※※
After Rong Guang saw the football fly into the goal, he also raised his fist and pointed to the sky.He was then hugged by excited teammates.
Diego Godin was a centre-back so instead of going up the pitch to celebrate, he was alone in the back, cheering.
Just now Rong Guang patted him on the shoulder and said there was nothing to worry about, let him relax, is this his proof?
Lugano is right, if you play with Rong in the same team, you will easily feel at ease!
With such an awesome captain, what else should I be nervous about?ha!
Godin thought excitedly.
※※※
Arsenal were hit hard by this conceded goal, and goalkeeper Almunia was the hardest hit—how did his hard work to save it turn into a bad thing in the end?
If the ball hadn't been in the air, it wouldn't have scored at all!
Now it has become his own goal!
Arsenal's plan for revenge... just started 10 minutes ago, and they were dealt a heavy blow!
Wenger rushed to the sidelines. Although he also felt helpless and regretful for losing the ball, this is not the time to be depressed. The game has only started for 10 minutes, and there are still 10 minutes left. Arsenal can do something next!
After all, we have mastered Manchester City's weaknesses!
So he roared loudly on the sidelines to cheer up the players.
"Look for their weaknesses! They have weaknesses!"
Wenger yelled from the sidelines.
At the same time, he pointed his finger at Diego Godin, the 23-year-old Uruguayan central defender who played in the Premier League for the first time after moving to Manchester City.
If it can be done, he even wants to put a striking mark on Godin's head, so that when Arsenal players are playing on the field, they can find the weakness of Manchester City's defense line as soon as they look up.
Wenger's roar restored the fighting spirit and confidence of Arsenal's players, allowing them to recover from the panic of conceding the ball.
Yes, we know the weaknesses of Manchester City's defense!
By attacking this weak point, we can surely equalize the score!
※※※
The game resumed after kick-off by the Arsenal players.
After conceding the ball, Arsenal originally wanted to launch a counterattack quickly, but their offense had just been completed once before being suppressed by Manchester City's overwhelming and swift offensive.
Manchester City, which is leading at home, launched wave after wave of attacks on Arsenal's goal amidst the tsunami-like shouts of the home team fans.
These offensives were so fast that Arsenal couldn't breathe at all.
Why use a weakness to equalize the score... It would be nice if we can stop conceding the ball now!
Manchester City's offensive frenzy lasted for about 10 minutes before finally tapering off.
Arsenal can finally catch their breath.
Fortunately, their goal did not continue to fall during these 10 minutes, and they finally defended after retreating across the board.
Thinking about it now is really scary-if Manchester City scores another goal in these 10 minutes, then this game may be too difficult to play.
Fortunately, God bless, they did not continue to concede the ball, the score is still 0:1, in this case, Arsenal still have something to do.
We already know your weaknesses... just wait, it will be even soon!
Arsenal went on the offensive.
The target was, of course, Manchester City centre-back Diego Godin.
Van Persie found Godin again, and at the same time his teammates passed the football.
Just when Van Persie thought he could break through easily, he stumbled.
The ball that was about to be passed to his feet was snatched by Godin ahead of time, and it was cut off at once!
Van Persie turned his head to look at Godin's back in surprise. He never expected that Godin's movements would be so nimble and agile, and he would grab so quickly!
Van Persie was surprised, as was the Arsenal player Diaby who passed the ball to him.
But Benitez was not surprised, but slapped his hands off the court: "Good!"
