Chapter 926 Thanks
After Walcott broke through Matuidi with ease, all eyes were on him.
This is Arsenal's counterattack and the best time to take advantage of speed. Can Walcott help Arsenal equalize?
Seeing that Matuidi was passed, Manchester City's left back Leighton Barnes quickly pressed up, but he did not go directly to Walcott, otherwise Walcott would pass him with speed, just like Matuidi.
He just put Walcott in front of him and put pressure on him.
However, the two of them were going to meet after all. Walcott didn't care how Leighton Barnes was defending. He rushed to Barnes with the ball.
Then when Barnes had to take a step, he took the football away one step faster than him, accelerated, and passed!
"Another one! Walcott!!" John Mortensen's voice rose again.
Then Walcott chased after the football.
But at this moment, a blue figure appeared in front of him.
It's Godin!
After Godin went up from Barnes, he automatically made up for it, so he is now barely a left back.
In Benitez's tactical arrangement, in the face of such a situation, Barnes must be the first line of defense. He asked Godin not to be too far away from Barnes, which would give the opponent a chance to break one by one.
But Godin can't be too close to Barnes. In that case, if you meet a master, you can pass two people in one breakthrough, just like skewering mutton...
This requires a very suitable distance. No one knows this suitable distance, and it can only be found in training.
Rong Guang helped Godin and Benitez find this suitable distance time and time again.
Walcott saw Godin ahead of him and accelerated towards the ball.
Meanwhile, Godin was also rushing to football.
Then Walcott took the first step to catch up with the football, but Godin was also very close to him. In order not to break the football cup, Walcott pushed the football forward with all his strength, intending to overtake with speed without the ball, and then catch up with the football...
But just when he was going to dodge Godin's impact, he didn't feel physical contact.
Godin raised his arms and braked hard in front of him.He had no intention of continuing to chase.
Walcott was a little surprised, but in any case, it was a good thing for him that Godin didn't continue to post, so he started to accelerate again, intending to chase the ball.
But just as he took a step, he looked up and saw the football rolled out of the baseline...
Only at this time did he realize that he was very close to the bottom line!
After continuously passing Matuidi and Leighton Barnes by speed, the distance between him and the bottom line is not enough to support him to use such a forced breakthrough again...
The referee's whistle sounded, and the linesman also gave a semaphore - goal kick!
It's not a corner kick, Godin didn't touch it!
Walcott turned his head to look at Godin again, and saw that he was high-fiving the returning Leighton Barnes.
I thought that Godin was going to steal the ball, so I took a longer trip...then I will take a smaller trip next time.
※※※
The next time Arsenal had another chance like that, Walcott once again used his speed past Leighton Barnes before chasing the ball.
At the same time, Godin also jumped on the football.
This time Walcott learned the previous experience and did not go too far. He took a small step forward, so that after breaking through Godin with speed, he could continue to control the ball, and then directly rushed into the penalty area, causing chaos, and then passed the football to the teammate who stepped in... The teammate scored a goal!
What a perfect attack!
Just when Walcott thought so, he suddenly found that the football he went out for was gone!
Godin, who was beside him, was already lying on the ground and made a tackle, but what about the ball?
Let him destroy it!
Walcott was shocked!
In fact, at the moment he was waving the ball just now, Godin had already made a quick tackle. When running with Walcott, he stretched out his right foot to the outside, blocking the football that Walcott waded out!
This is a very well-timed tackle!Clean and neat!
Walcott hurriedly stopped, but the strong inertia still made him rush out. When he turned his head, he saw that the football tackled by Godin did not go out of bounds, but just landed at the feet of Leighton Barnes who was chasing back.
The left-back quickly crossed the football diagonally into midfield.
Sneijder, who retreated, received the football, then he turned around and sent the football forward, to the right...the side where the glory is!
Oops!
Such a thought popped into Walcott's mind...
It was Arsenal's counterattack before, but now it has become Manchester City's counterattack!
※※※
"Godin! Nice and clean defense! No foul! He breaks the ball! Leighton Barnes catches the ball...then he makes a quick move... Sneijder! Diagonal pass! Spacing - Rong!!!"
John Mortensen raised his voice when he called "Rong".
Because the cheers at the scene were also raised, if he didn't raise his volume, he would be overwhelmed by the sound effects...
Cheers have already sounded in the stands of the Manchester City Stadium, and the cheers are getting louder and louder!
Amid huge cheers, Rong Guang received the ball.
Facing his Arsenal central defender Vermaelen who came up to defend him, Rong Guang made a move to force a breakthrough from the outside line. The outer instep of his right foot pushed the football forward, and then accelerated!
Vermaelen hastily followed and ran back.
Just now Arsenal's left back Clichy assisted up and was still on his way back to defense.
Vermaelen can only make up here from the central defender position.
What he is most afraid of is the incision of glory.
After all, there are few people in the middle of Arsenal now.
But now seeing that Rong Guang is taking the outside line, he feels more at ease.
He adjusted his mentality and kept up with Rongguang...
But just when Rong Guang caught up with the football, the heel of his right foot slammed the football inside!
At the same time, Rong Guang made a sudden stop, changed direction, and turned around!
Vermaelen was caught off guard and couldn't stop the car at all. He forcibly braked suddenly, but was still rushed forward by the inertia.
He reached out his hand in despair, wanting to grab Rong Guang.
Rong Guang has already completed the full set of movements of turning around and starting again, leaving him behind!
"Rong——!!!"
This sound was not shouted by the commentator John Mortensen, but the voice of tens of thousands of Manchester City fans in the stands!
※※※
After Rongguang suddenly cut in, another central defender Gallas, who was originally guarding the middle, had to rush forward to block Rongguang.
Facing his blocking, Rongguang raised his left foot and made a long-range shot. Gallas quickly reached the end, trying to block Rongguang's shot with his body.
As a result, Rongguang dunked the football with his left foot and directly broke through the ribs of the penalty area!
"Rong! Beautiful breakthrough! He entered the penalty area! The current situation is simply too easy for him! Arsenal certainly did not expect their counterattack to be cut off so quickly, so that their defensive players in the backcourt are pitiful!"
After Rong Guang broke through Gallas' interception, Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia chose to abandon the goal and attack.
Rong Guang swung his left foot again and made a shooting motion.
Almunia fell to the ground to make a save, but Rong Guang swung his left foot, but instead of shooting the football, he stepped on the football and pulled the ball to his right foot, shaking Almunia down.
Next, Rong Guang's right foot followed him with a kick!
Although the angle is not big anymore, he is still sure to send the football into the goal.
Sure enough, the football rolled across the goal line without any suspense, and Cesc Fabregas, who was chasing all the way, came over with a sliding tackle at this time. Except for the air and the turf, he couldn't tackle anything...
※※※
"Rong! Rong! Rong——!!!" John Mortensen raised his head to the sky and screamed. "2:0! Manchester City leads Arsenal 2:0 at home! The second half has just begun, and Arsenal's revenge plan now looks like a joke!"
After scoring the goal, Rong Guang didn't run to the corner flag area, nor did he run to the coach's bench, but turned around and ran all the way back. On the way, some teammates wanted to come up to hug him, but he was thrown away by his speed. He just ran in front of Godin.
He pointed at Godin.
Godin was a little astonished. After scoring the goal, he was very happy, but when Rongguang ran all the way and finally ran to him, he was stunned. He didn't expect Rongguang to run so far to hug him after scoring the goal...
Next, Rong Guang hugged him.
Other teammates also swarmed up.
This time it was so close that even goalkeeper Joe Hart ran from the gate to join in the celebration.
※※※
As for Arsenal, they were collectively stunned.
They really came to Manchester with a vengeance.
Who would have thought that the second half had just started, and they were already behind by two goals-how could there be such revenge?
Especially Walcott, he stared blankly at the hugging Manchester City players.
What he looked at was not glory, but Godin who was embraced by glory.
That rookie whom he looked down upon before, was the one who broke his own ball just now, thus giving Manchester City such a chance to score...
If he hadn't been intercepted by Godin, it might be Arsenal who scored now!
Thinking of this, Walcott clenched his fists unwillingly.
Oh shit!
※※※
Holding Godin's glory, he rubbed Godin's black hair vigorously, and then said to him: "Pretty defense!"
This attack was made because Godin successfully defended Walcott. Of course he has to thank Godin.
But this is not the only reason. Rongguang sees the hope of the team performing well in the Champions League from Godin's performance.
Godin performed well, so when he faces Bayern Munich next, he will feel more at ease-although every time the team encounters problems, he can solve them.But if the teammates behind him always lose the ball, it is also a huge burden for him personally.Who wants to always be on the road with a heavy burden on their backs?Everyone wants to travel lightly, and Rongguang is no exception.
When everyone thinks that Rongguang is the patron saint of Manchester City, Rongguang also hopes that his teammates can be more powerful.
Godin thought it was safe to pair up with Rongguang, so why didn't Godin's performance make Rongguang feel safe?
