Before the game, Aguero won the first goal-scoring trophy in Manchester City's history. Aguero has not been a long time to join Manchester City, but he has been able to contribute more than 30 goals to the team on all fronts every season.

Aguero's finishing ability in front of the goal is not worse than Messi, Ronaldo and others, but in terms of fame and the team's victory, Aguero is indeed lower than them.

Wenger did not change the team's lineup in this game, and 4231 has become their commonly used game method. Joe Hart has to avoid this game due to contract reasons, and the goalkeeper is the young Ospina;

Defence line Bellerin, Koscheerny, Monreal, Korashinac;

The double midfielder Gao Fei and Zhaka, Walcott, Koquelin and Ivobi were in front of them;

The front is former Manchester City player Balotelli.

Balotelli had a very pleasant experience with Manchester City. At that time, Manchester City's head coach was Balotelli's mentor Mancini. However, Balotelli, who was young and frivolous at that time, did not obey Mancini's teachings.

The most impressive thing is that during the training camp in the United States, Balotelli actually made a Marseille roar and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

The furious Mancini made everyone see his anger at that time. If the person who likes Balotelli the most is probably ranked second, besides his agent Raiola.

Unfortunately, Balotelli failed Mancini's teachings and almost didn't even have to play the ball for several consecutive years.

It is unimaginable that as an Italian golden boy, he had no team to accept him at his golden age. Balotelli's past few years was indeed very tragic.

Reappearing at the Elihard Stadium, Manchester City fans booed Balotelli in the sky.

He looked up and smiled. Balotelli didn't feel a little strange. Such a situation was not worth mentioning to him. He had faced more intense humiliation and was able to get to this day, especially after last season, Balotelli has matured a lot and could not be influenced by sideline fans anymore.

In fact, Manchester City fans shouldn't treat Balotelli like this. Balotelli contributed a huge role in their first Premier League championship in the Premier League era.

As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two sides officially kicked off, and the highly anticipated game finally began.

After the game started, both sides were very fast. Whether it was Arsenal or Manchester City, they wanted to attack. The most important thing was that their teams had players who could launch fast attacks.

Manchester City, who played at home, took the lead in attacking. Amid the cheers of fans, the happy boys Sterling and De Bruyne made a very quick shot in the midfield, and passed the ball continuously, passing through Gao Fei and Zacha's defense line and directly pounced on Arsenal's penalty area.

Aguero received a pass from De Bruyne on the right side of the penalty area, and shot hard against the ball. The ball was very accurate and directly rushed to the corner of the penalty area. Ospina made a save at the first time. The ball hit the outside of the post and bounced out of the baseline. Ospina did not touch the ball, which means that if Aguero hit the goal just now, the ball might have entered.

In the fourth minute, Balotelli got a free kick opportunity for the team on the left side outside the penalty area. Gao Fei stood in front of the ball. Ederson was very nervous to arrange the man wall. He did not forget to arrange another player behind the man wall lying on the turf.

Gao Fei chose to pull the arc ball, and the ball bypassed the human wall, but unfortunately, it also bypassed the crossbar and did not fall quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Silva dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Zaka. He quickly used his hands and feet, and used his body to fight.

Silva was knocked down on the grass. Before he could complain to the referee, Arsenal's quick counterattack came up. Gao Fei was received by Zachar's pass, and he kept stopping the ball and passed it with a long pass. Ivobi was at the edge of the top of the penalty area, and there was no interference from the defensive players around him. He directly pulled out his arch and volleyed along the ball.

The ball was very well pressed by Ivobi, but unfortunately, the angle was too straight and hit Ederson's arms. The moment the latter held the ball in his arms, he fell on the grass and pressed the ball down. He didn't get up for a while. It seemed that his chest had just been hit hard.

Under Gao Fei's leadership, the Arsenal team has now become very fond of far-sightedness. At the same time, their feet are getting stronger and heavier. This time, Ivobi is completely accurate in his position, and the impact of the ball cannot be underestimated.

"Referee, when he just grabbed the ball, the opponent committed a foul. Didn't you see it?"

Silva shouted angrily at today's penalty referee Atkinson, who was very dissatisfied with the referee not calling a foul just now.

"No, no, no, that's just a reasonable body collision."

Atkinson waved his hand while backing and explained by the way that these traditional Premier League referees, especially those who are older, will like physical confrontation very much because this is the characteristic of the Premier League.

Of course, if they are young referees, they will have more contact with European football and accept more new ideas, and may be more tightly involved in physical confrontation.

But the older generation of Premier League referees will stick to their own Premier League characteristics.

With Ivobi's shot, Gao Fei began to lead the team to launch a strong attack.

In the fourth minute, Sane was besieged in his own half. The ball was intercepted by Bellerin and quickly passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area from the right. Balotelli saw that it was far away from the ball, but he still threw himself out, slipped the ball and rushed out in front of Stones and Delf.

To use all the ways you can use to hit the damn ball into the goal, this is the awareness that a forward should have, even if you use your hands.

The ball was still fast, and Balotelli's slippery tackle didn't catch up with the ball.

However, soon, Manchester City's backcourt dribble was intercepted again. This time it was Zach's turn to fire the gun, swaying his legs on the spot outside the penalty area and missed the goal.

Gao Fei's long shot after the backcourt was also shot out by Ederson, a double dragon, and pushed the ball out of the crossbar.

Corner kick opportunity.

Guardiola frowned, wrinkles were already covered with his shiny forehead. During the opening period, the team was suppressed by Arsenal.

This is related to their usual tactical philosophy. If they fail, they always like to play from the backcourt by passing to the frontcourt instead of using long passes to the rushing.

However, during this period, Arsenal's offense suppressed too far, but he found that under Gao Fei's shouting, Arsenal's frontcourt compression can always stand in front of Manchester City players, which caused Manchester City players, whether it was the player passing the ball or the one receiving the ball, seemed to have a defensive player around him to fight.

He has been continuously oppressed and cannot get out of the half. This situation has almost never happened to Manchester City this season.

Is this your role?

Looking at Gao Fei, who was determined to command in the midfield, Guardiola's eyes were deep, and then he turned around and said to one of the assistant coaches.
Chapter completed!
