Arsenal slowly made a good attack, and they were also hitting Manchester City's defense again and again; the Blue Moon achieved a very good start, and they did threaten Arsenal's goal for a while. However, the feng shui took turns. Arsenal used their outstanding offense to suppress Manchester City strongly at Manchester City Stadium. The Gunners now have more opportunities and initiative in the game.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are now striving to play more aggressively in the game. Arsenal has now had the tendency to slowly take the rhythm and initiative of the game in their hands. The Gunners naturally hope to continue their efforts at this time. The top battle has always been fierce and cruel. Although Arsenal has taken the absolute initiative when facing Manchester City in the past two seasons; it is just that Manchester City has been making waves in the transfer market over the years, and their strength growth rate is incredible.

Xiao Qing and his teammates should not be careless, because at this time Manchester City is also trying hard to get the initiative in the game. When facing Arsenal's crazy impact, they can also ensure a certain counterattack power. This game is destined to be impossible to decide the winner so easily. At this time, the two teams are working hard to achieve better performance in the game. Although they each made a period of threatening attacks in the first half hour, the situation of the game still seems to be evenly matched.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Nasri passed three players on the right side of the frontcourt, but in a hurry to perform, he made a little more powerful shot when facing Arsenal's defensive player's last shot. Szesney confiscated the ball. Two minutes later, Caszorla cleverly got out of Barry on the left and made a cross. Xiao Qing and Van Persie shot with both ghosts. However, Xiao Qing headed the ball in the middle of the penalty area and missed the goal. In the 35th minute, Van Persie seemed to pass and shoot at the top of the arc. Xiao Qing and clearing Kroo Toure both fell to the ground but did not touch the ball, and Joe Hart got the ball.

The game is developing in a direction of evenly match. Both teams can make good offenses at this time, and they can get more good opportunities in the game. The rhythm of the game becomes fiercer, and the smell of gunpowder in the game is getting stronger and stronger, because they can create opportunities in the game, because they all desire victory in the game. In such an important game, no one will easily admit defeat. They will be more diligent and enterprising at this time, because they are eager for victory not only, but also the initiative to win the championship.

In the 38th minute of the game, Barry tackled Arteta from behind and was given a yellow card by the referee on duty. Two minutes later, Aguero steals the frontcourt and continuously straps across the side, dodges the angle and shoots the middle with his right foot. The ball was obtained by Szesni. Both teams hope to take the lead at the last moment of the first half, so the rhythm of the game suddenly increased a lot. The players of the two teams also launched more fierce confrontations and competitions on the court, and the smell of gunpowder in the game is also increasing, and they all yearn for victory. In this season, the two teams will start a life-and-death battle.

In the last moment of the first half, Vermullen knocked Aguero in the midfield and received a yellow card; after that, Balotelli forced a breakthrough on the left and was directly thrown over by Zhulu, who was directly tackled by the ball. The referee did not say that. At this time, the Manchester City players were also unhappy. Even the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half. The players of the two teams also squeezed together at this time. The strong gunpowder smell was completely ignited due to some foul moves.

The players of the two teams were squirting trash talks with each other. Although the conflict was quickly ended with the intervention of some calm players and the referee, this also completely illustrates the anger in the hearts of the players of the two teams. They do not need any mobilization at this time, because they are full of expectations and desire for the game, and they will do their best to win the game in the game.

"Continue to maintain our offense and continue to suppress them!" Wenger was basically satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. Although the team did not score, it was because Manchester City's goalkeeper performed well and Manchester City's overall defense strength was still good. Those were the reasons for not scoring. As long as the team can play their own tactics in the game, Wenger was quite satisfied, because he believed that the team could score in the next game, and he believed that the team could continue to succeed in the second half.

"Our opponents are very strong. They have many outstanding players on the offensive end, but I need you to cut off their offense in the midfield and pay attention to Silva. He is Manchester City's offensive starting point and cut off their midfield and frontcourt connection, which can help us get more opportunities in the game." Manchester City has many offensive points, and Manchester City, which blooms more points, has enough attackers, especially their forward line, with a group of outstanding forwards; however, Wenger is quite interested in such a team, because he knows that breaking the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt in the game will definitely help the team get more initiative in the game, which is also the habitual way for many teams to defend against Arsenal.

However, Arsenal does not care much about such a defensive approach. In the previous two seasons, some teams may be able to focus on the midfield, which can bring some difficulties to Arsenal. Single defense cannot completely limit Xiao Qing, so just pinch Xiao Qing's catch line, which is the best way to weaken Xiao Qing on the attacking end.

However, this defensive strategy seems not so effective now, because Xiao Qing is becoming more and more comprehensive now, and in many cases, Xiao Qing can retreat to a deep position to get the ball. In addition, Arsenal's current tactics can be said to be completely revolving around Xiao Qing. Whether it is Arteta in the middle or Walcott and Cazorla on both wings, their existence is to constantly feed Xiao Qing. Manchester City's forwards are very good, but these players' restraint ability on the front line is obviously not as good as Xiao Qing, which is also a good choice for Arsenal now. They can use the shortcomings of their opponent's forward's limited independent scoring ability to strive to gain more initiative in the game.

Arsenal players are using their precious fifteen minutes of rest to restore their physical fitness. The confrontation with strong teams like Manchester City will definitely make Arsenal players feel the rapid physical exhaustion. Such fierce confrontation also makes Arsenal players feel some fatigue at this time. They do not have enough lineup depth as much as Manchester City, which also makes Arsenal players more trapped in such a showdown.

Although the two teams did not score goals in the first half, and although the two teams seemed to be evenly matched in the first half, such a game was still quite intense, and fans had no reason not to feel satisfied. In the first half, the two teams brought high-quality games. Sometimes not only more goals can show that the game is good-looking. In many cases, excellent offensive games are also very attractive to fans' attention. Fast-paced and high-quality offensive games can easily catch the fans' attention, because such a game also makes people feel breathless.

In the second half, Manchester City also strengthened the offensive intensity at this time. They wanted to try hard to catch Arsenal off guard at this time, and they did a good job. In the 49th minute of the game, Nasri forced Arsenal to give a corner kick; Silva took the penalty and was cleared before the penalty point, and the ball fell to his feet. The Spanish midfielder forced himself into the penalty area and fell after physical contact with Vermalen. The referee did not make any statement.

Manchester City's home court was full of boos, and they were full of doubts about the referee's referee's judgment standards; this also made Manchester City players feel very unhappy because they felt that they had actually created many good opportunities in the game, but the referee's referee's judgment standards were relatively loose, so that Arsenal could keep the goal safe again and again. Although they were ended again and again by Arsenal, the current Manchester City players have not lost confidence and patience. They performed very well in the game. Since they maintained a high-intensity attack, they would definitely be able to perform further and score goals.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Manchester City counterattacked. After dribbled the ball in the midfield, Nasri threw the ball into the left side of the frontcourt. Balotelli, who had been waiting in the area for a long time, caught the opportunity to show off his individual combat ability. In fact, he did choose to go alone. At that time, he was standing in front of him with the strongest midfielder Alexander Song, but Balotelli regarded it as nothing. He saw that he completed the horizontal escape of the Cameroonian in the simplest but not ineffective way, that is, he directly pulled the ball outward, and then immediately followed up and shot at the small angle at the first time.

Balotelli's wild way of playing made Alexander Song seem very uncomfortable. Just as the Cameroonian was in a state of mind, the ball had already flew towards the goal guarded by Szesni and went straight to the dead corner at the far end. Although Szesni tried hard to complete the save, he really couldn't hit the ball far, and Arsenal's goal was in chaos. At this time, Vermallen used his head to clear the ball before Aguero, but failed to push the ball far away. David Silva, who was unmarked at the back point, took his right foot and shot in the empty goal.
