348. Dzeko goal
Wen Sheng’s strategy for this game is to move the defense line up, keep the overall tight, test the pressure on the opponent in the midfield, and use his body to bully Arsenal.
This trick is very useful. Arsenal wanted to start the game and kicked it to the iron plate.
Wen Sheng deliberately used Casemiro and Dembele in the midfield today. This is the idea of Kroos' combination. Arsenal is Ramsey and Flamini. Flamini played one or two seasons of good goals in Arsenal in his early years. There is no way for Arsenal to play in the midfield position since Vieira left. Players like Flamini, Diabi, and Song are basically short-lived.
After Flamini made his mark at Arsenal, he transferred to Milan. As a result, he did not do well in Milan and returned to Arsenal, Flamini was no longer the same Flamini as before, and now Arsenal is not the absolute main player.
But Flamini still had some fighting spirit. In less than a minute, he knocked down Cross in midfield.
Cross was not injured, but he couldn't help but get up and got up and confronted Flamini. Flamini is also an old man in the Premier League. How could he be afraid of Cross? The two of them started arguing on the court. The referee Oliver was not polite, and each played 50 blocks to get things done.
"What are you going to do?! Could it be that today is not going well?!" Wen Sheng was a little worried.
The formation he actually gave today is quite weird. Dembele was not behind Cross, but in front of Cross. Wen Sheng wanted to use Dembele's mobility to harass Arsenal's defense line, and he planned to make trouble with Flamini. However, he thought Flamini was more radical. It seemed that he would occasionally run to Cross to harass him. Could Professor Fei tell him to keep Cross dead?!
Wen Sheng sneered in his heart. Manchester City would not play too much control today. Cross was alone on the court, but Wen Sheng was still a little unfavorable. His tactics have changed. Today, this game of chess is going to fight Arsenal.
Wenger stood on the sidelines, putting his hands in the pocket of the iconic down jacket, looking at everything on the court indifferently. Cross was far behind, which was beyond Wenger's expectations. He thought that in these three midfielders, Cross should organize the frontcourt attack at the frontcourt in any case.
"It seems that this kid still has to play the old trick, and use Cross to organize it in the backcourt!"
Wenger soon knew that his guess was wrong. Manchester City did not use this move and attacked Arsenal's wing at the beginning, especially on Milner's side.
In the 4th minute, after Kompany passed the long pass from the center back to find Milner, Manchester City made a series of cooperation on the right side. Chamberlain received a straight pass from Cross, cut in from the bottom, forcibly broke through Sania, and then made a cross. Dzeko shot in front of Mertesacker in the middle and stabbed the ball into the goal guarded by Szesny.
This is Manchester City's first shot after the opening game, and it is also Dzeko's first shot in this game!
Then the ball entered!
The coach's response is still a bit untimely!
After scoring the goal, Dzeko rushed to the home team fans' stands frantically, using a slide rail to vent his depression for several days.
Jock and Linton cheered Dzeko's name in the stands. Even though Jock said yesterday that Dzeko was really not a top striker and wasted too many opportunities, it doesn't matter. Today, Dzeko proved with his actions that he could still score goals, which is enough.
Wen Sheng waved his fists excitedly. In recent games, without exception, Manchester City has never scored a goal first. Lagging behind means being passively beaten, and Manchester City did not reverse any time. Dzeko's goal today will undoubtedly greatly boost the team's morale.
The professor was still a little confused. Everyone was in a midfield battle just now, and Manchester City suddenly became a success.
The Arsenal players were also confused. They felt like they were not awake and were fucked by their opponents.
Of course, they are their own responsibility to conceal the ball, and they are too unfocused. Sarnia should be said to be at the best stage of her career. She met her old acquaintance at that moment and made a mistake. She couldn't defend Chamberlain's move at all. This is also because he was not used to it. Chamberlain did not often cut in the bottom at Arsenal.
With a ball in hand, Manchester City fans also started to sing loudly at the Etihad Stadium, one song after another.
Arsenal never retreated. Wen Sheng on Manchester City did not slow down his team because of the team's leading position. The two teams changed quickly on offense and defense. At this time, the test was the ability of individual soldiers to fight. Arsenal was at a physical disadvantage. Casemiro, a young player, stared at the Turks like a shadow, with small movements on his hands. The Turks were very impatient by him. He complained several times to the referee. The players on Manchester City did not dare to show weakness and tried pressure on Oliver.
More than ten minutes passed, and neither team got any good shooting opportunities. Manchester City relied too much on the breakthrough ability on the wings, focusing on both wings, and focusing on defense in the middle. Arsenal's core arrow organizers were seen to death and played awkwardly. They had several passes to the penalty area, relying on set pieces and crosses on the wings.
Arsenal's set-pieces are actually quite terrible. Wen Sheng made a special drill for set-pieces before the game. The players performed well. Giroud and Mertesak were taken care of. Even so, in the 12th minute, Giroud still relied on set-pieces to complete a threatening attack.
Arsenal is actually a little chaotic in offense. The professor gives players a lot of freedom. He firmly believes that the players' creativity and tacit understanding are quite effective when they meet other teams, but it is not so effective when they meet Manchester City. Not to mention the strong single-defense ability of the players on Manchester City, the defensive organization has been praised by the media for at least two years, and the organization is quite strict.
When Arsenal's core Turkish was stared to death, Coutinho also became a single soldier. His small body was at a disadvantage and he was awkward to play. Walcott on the other side received too little support, and Manchester City's defense line retreated very quickly. Kolarov basically didn't go up much, just to guard against him.
The professor walked around the sidelines and couldn't find any good idea. If the Turks don't live, the team won't do it, so he always put his hope on the Turks. The Turks signaled that their teammates would be closer to make it easier for him to make the ball.
In order to support the front, Flamini and Ramsey had to help forward again and again. As a result, they soon lost the second goal. In the 18th minute, the Turkish failed to break through and was successfully robbed by Casemiro. Kroos got the ball, circled around in place, played with Flamini, and passed the ball directly on the left. After Costa, who was in place in time, took the ball, played with his strong explosiveness, passed the fill-up Koscheerny and rushed to Arsenal's penalty area. Szesny attacked, and Costa aimed at the close-angle and almost shot the ball through the net.
2:0! The game looked a bit stalemate, but the score didn't seem stalemate.
Chapter completed!
