"Arsenal! They scored two goals in the first half and they pushed Manchester City into a corner!"
"Before the game, no one thought that Arsenal could play such a smooth game. With two counterattacks, Arsenal scored two goals in a row within 15 minutes!"
"This is a huge blow to Manchester City. Arsenal's performance completely broke their plan! Everything planned!"
"Guardiola needs to make some changes, Manchester City can no longer be so passive!"
Andy Gray lamented Arsenal's performance in this game, but also reminded Manchester City that some changes need to be made.
If this rhythm has been maintained, then for Manchester City, the only thing left for them is failure.
Arsenal played too well.
Needless to say in terms of defense, his counterattack performance is also extremely good.
It can be said that the first 35 minutes of the game were almost Arsenal's highlight moments.
On the other hand, Manchester City's performance in this game has become extremely passive.
"Manchester City has a problem with the possession of the ball on the central axis. No one dares to enter this area. Even if they enter, it may end like Kyle Walker. Of course, if it is a midfielder, it may still have a certain We have to say that Kyle Walker is a little too anxious!"
"But this is also reasonable. After all, the situation of Manchester City is uncomfortable for anyone to watch. As a member of the game, Kyle Walker must be more anxious than us!"
"This also just shows the problem of Manchester City. They need to arrange a few more ball-holding points in the frontcourt!"
"At least from the current performance, neither Sane nor Bernardo Silva's performance on the wing is substandard.
Guardiola was also standing on the sidelines at this time, with Sterling standing beside him.
Obviously, Guardiola couldn't sit still at this time.
It was not a good time to make substitutions in the first half, but Guardiola and Manchester City could not get the second half at this time. Once Arsenal played a better situation, they would have no chance to recover.
Be sure to recover a ball!
Before the end of the first half, we must get a goal back.
This is the task Guardiola gave Sterling.
In 35 minutes, Manchester City made a substitution.
Silva off, Sterling on.
The main task of Sterling on the field is to increase the propulsion of the ball in the frontcourt. Guardiola wants to use Sterling's dribbling ability to open up Manchester City's offensive line.
At the same time, it helps De Bruyne relieve some of the pressure in the midfield.
After Sterling came on the field, he first approached De Bruyne and David Silva to convey the words of coach Guardiola.
Sending a message is very simple, just one sentence.
'Go towards the middle! '
Obviously, Guardiola can't stand it any longer. Attacking in the middle will have the contribution of being intercepted, but you can't give up the space in the middle in order not to be intercepted.
Besides, De Bruyne and David Silva are also very capable of distributing the ball in the middle, at least to rationalize the offense in the frontcourt.
"Manchester City finally can't sit still. After falling behind by two goals, they will become extremely passive. Perhaps Guardiola and Manchester City players did not expect that Arsenal could score two goals in 35 minutes. It made their situation extremely worse!"
"However, Manchester City is also looking for a solution to the problem. Guardiola chose Sterling. This is obviously to use Sterling's dribbling ability to stabilize the chaotic rhythm of the frontcourt attack!"
"Sterling is indeed an excellent player, his dribbling and breakthrough ability is very strong, but still the problem, Sterling will always have some inexplicable 'happy moments'."
"And we all know that when Sterling faces Arsenal or Kay, his performance will become extremely bad!"
"I don't know if Guardiola understands this situation, or if Sterling can overcome this opponent who is enough to be called a nightmare!"
Sterling took a deep breath to adjust his mood.
At this time, their situation is not optimistic, and he knows this, so he must perform.
In difficult times, Guardiola chose him based on trust in him, and Sterling cannot live up to this trust. Once he performs poorly, he may silently mark a big X in Guardiola's heart.
Of course, Sterling is also extremely nervous.
After all, what he needs to face is Arsenal led by Lucky.
Since the time of Liverpool, this guy has caused him a lot of trouble, and now he is even dubbed by the media as his own nightmare.
Sterling does not deny this, after all, every time he meets Lucky, his performance will be very bad.
Data doesn't lie.
But he is also very helpless, because every time he faces Le Kai, under the huge defensive pressure, he will make some inexplicable actions, and even his head is cloudy, as if he can't think, and he just keeps his head down. ball.
In the one-on-one duel with Lucky, Sterling really didn't have the confidence to beat Lucky.
But the current situation is that it can't be done.
At this time, they can only bite the bullet.
Lucky is looking at Sterling.
In fact, Lucky recognized Sterling's ability very much, but this guy would really twitch his head sometimes, and then he would become inexplicable.
If the level is always on the line, it is extremely difficult to prevent Sterling.
Both Sterling and Messi have the same ability, that is, when dribbling, the combination of man and ball is very good. When they are dribbling, the distance between the ball and the instep is just right, which makes it difficult for defensive players to defend. action.
But unlike Messi's calmness, Sterling sometimes strides the ball suddenly, and the choice of the timing of the ball is not very correct, which makes Lucky and other defensive players find opportunities to carry out targeted defense.
Moreover, Sterling can sometimes dazzle himself by shaking, which is also the opponent's problem.
But the shortcomings do not conceal the advantages, Sterling's ability is still very strong.
Especially when this guy kicks out the feeling, he will become extremely difficult to target.
Aguero returned to the center circle again to prepare for the kick-off.
This is the second time he has kicked off with the ball in the center circle.
It doesn't feel good to be two goals behind, it's bad.
But Aguero and the Manchester City players are thinking about how to get back the score.
The pitch was filled with cheers from Arsenal fans.
They're already having fun.
The two-goal lead relieved their tense atmosphere, and at this time they can fully enjoy the sense of transcendence brought by the game.
After all, leading by two goals means that they have enough opportunities for error tolerance.
This also allows them to watch the game with more peace of mind.
On the other hand, Manchester City fans are a bit tormented.
They can't concede the ball anymore. If they concede a goal, it really means that the championship is hopeless.
After all, 'Istanbul Night' is not so easy to make.
At this time, the Manchester City fans felt that their hearts seemed to be grabbed, and they were extremely uncomfortable.
They are praying like gods and God, even if it is a goal, even if it is a goal back, at least let them breathe!
beep! ! !
At this point, the whistle sounded and the game restarted.
After Manchester City made substitutions and adjustments, the center of gravity of the ball distribution also began to fall towards Sterling.
Of course, when they pass the ball, they must ensure that Lucky is not around Sterling, so that he will not face the pressure of Lucky in the first place.
After receiving the ball a few times, Sterling chose to pass back all of them without making a breakthrough.
The main reason is that Arsenal did a good job of defending on the wing. Robertson followed up very quickly, and he couldn't get the space to turn around.
Forcibly passing, it is likely to lose the ball.
After Sterling came on the field, he became extremely cautious and did not have the usual reckless style.
Lucky is also observing Sterling all the time.
Blocking Sterling's dribbling breakthrough route sometimes sells some flaws, but Sterling was not fooled.
"This guy is too cautious!"
Lucy sighed secretly.
But he also understands that Sterling will probably be torn apart by Manchester City fans when the waves rise during this period of time.
Obviously, Sterling also understands the priorities, so he patiently waits for the opportunity while ensuring the ball.
David Silva and De Bruyne cooperated in the midfield one after the other.
The two finally entered Arsenal's midfield and cooperated in passing and receiving.
Although the process was uncomfortable and the kick was very difficult.
But at least it can guarantee the smoothness of the pass, and at the same time connect the offensive lines between the two wings and the center forward.
This is good news for Manchester City.
