British local time at 12:45 on December 14, 2013, the 16th round of the Premier League, Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City vs Arsenal.
"The league has played fifteen rounds. Manchester City tops the list with 38 points with 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Arsenal is second with 35 points and 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. This can almost be regarded as a 6-point game. The result will have a big impact on the title at the end of the season."
"Both teams are tired teams. Arsenal just went to Italy to play the last round of the Champions League group stage on the 12th, and ultimately lost to Naples 0-2; Manchester City was slightly better and finished the Champions League in Germany on the 11th. , won 3-2.
The good news is that Manchester City is first in the group and Arsenal is second in the group. They have both broken out of their respective groups.
There have been 32 historical encounters between the two sides in the Premier League. Arsenal has an absolute advantage with 21 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, including a double win over Manchester City in 7 seasons. However, if you compare the last 6 encounters, Arsenal only won once..."
“Look at the starting lineup.
Walcott entered the starting 11 for the first time since September, Wilshere and Ramsey returned to the starting lineup, Sagna and Monreal rotated out, and Wenger arranged a 4-2-3 -1 formation.
Goalkeeper: 1-Szczesny;
Defenders: 3- Sagna, 4- Mertesacker, 6- Koscielny, 17- Monreal;
Midfielder: 20-Flamini, 16-Ramsey; 14-Walcott, 11-Ozil, 10-Wilshere;
Forward: 12-Giroud. "
"Manchester City put out their strongest lineup.
Goalkeeper: 13-Oblak;
Defenders: 5-Zabaleta, 4-Kompany, 26-Demichelis, 22-Klich;
Midfielder: 25-Fernandinho, 42-Yaya Toure, 21-Silva, 8-Kros;
Forwards: 16-Aguero, 9-Yang Feng.
This is a 4-4-2, but it is not a 4-4-2 with two wings flying together and a balanced offense and defense, but a 4-4-2 with two defensive midfielders and two front midfielders. This is a big deal for Kroos. Challenge, he has played as a midfielder, attacking midfielder, and defensive midfielder, but he should not have played in the position of "side midfielder". "
The best model for Kroos, David Silva and Yaya Toure to coexist should actually be like Real Madrid's three-ceremony midfield, intercepting, organizing, and advancing, each performing their own duties, but the so-called three-ceremony midfield It was only after the training of many coaches and many seasons of running-in that he truly took shape and became famous in Europe. Pellegrini obviously has not found a way out, and the situation on the field in actual games is ever-changing. Many times, just throw these three people into the team. In the midfield, once they start to move in the game, they can make a few random hits, but the positions and responsibilities are too rigid, which limits their performance.
This Latin American style is somewhat similar to the ground play that Wenger has always emphasized, and it is easy to play the so-called beautiful football.
After the game started, the two teams did indeed play a very sharp offense very quickly.
Manchester City mainly looks for breakthroughs from the wing. However, it is not the traditional way of breaking through the wing and then passing in or cutting in. Instead, Yang Feng retreats sharply and advances the ball through cooperation with Kroos and David Silva. To the frontcourt.
Yang Feng had already played against Arsenal in the Champions League at about the same time last year. He had 3 shots and 1 pass in two games to help Schalke 04 beat the favorites. This time when they meet again in the Premier League, Arsenal is still the same Arsenal. Yang Feng is no longer the same Yang Feng.
The main attribute is S, he has three SSs, and most of his teammates are world-class.
But Wenger and his disciples still looked at Yang Feng in the old light.
Pay enough attention to it, but not enough to treat it like a nuclear weapon.
The price is that the defenders are almost headless when defending, overwhelmed by Manchester City's dazzling offensive.
"... Kroos passed the ball diagonally to the middle. Yang Feng passed the ball to David Silva on the other side. Silva cleverly got rid of it and knocked the ball back. Yang Feng got the ball in the middle again! Is it a shot or a surprise? pass?"
When Yang Feng took the ball, he was already within his shooting range, but according to his breakthrough ability, he could bring it further in.
Aguero has also opened up space to receive the ball in the penalty area, giving him a third option.
Yang Feng did not rush to attack, but protected the ball and controlled the rhythm.
Yaya Toure and Fernandinho quickly came in from behind, and Silva and Kroos also came from both sides. The popular penalty area was suddenly besieged from all sides.
After his teammates had absorbed some of the firepower, Yang Feng suddenly dribbled forward, quickly changed direction and passed Flamini, looked up at the goal, and decisively raised his foot.
Ramsey immediately blocked it regardless of his own safety, but he blocked it alone.
Yang Feng faked a shot and passed the ball, and gave the ball to Yaya Toure who followed up with a slight poke.
Yaya Toure followed suit, pretending to shoot and then secretly stuffing the ball.
Aguero turned his back to the goal and leaned on Koscielny to knock the ball lightly.
Yang Feng quickly started to get rid of Ramsey, and shot with a kick in the eyes of all the gun fans who couldn't bear to look at him.
The football drew a wonderful arc and flew to the right side of the goal.
Szczesny had already raised his hands to surrender, but Sagna suddenly came down from the sky and used his body to block the ball out of the baseline.
Yang Feng let out a sigh of regret, but Aguero, who was nearest, suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
"Handball! The football hit his hand! Penalty kick!"
Everyone looked at the referee, but the other side showed no sign...
"It's really a handball..."
"I know," the referee said, "his hands were kept close to his body, and even if the football didn't hit his hands, it wouldn't have gone in."
"How is that possible?" Aguero said anxiously, "It must be an angle problem! I clearly saw his hand raised!"
The referee shook his head, "I only believe my eyes."
"Your eyes deceive you!"
The referee was somewhat impatient and his tone became tougher, "But in my opinion, you are trying to deceive me now!"
Yang Feng quickly came up and pulled the excited Akun away.
"That's almost enough," Yang Feng said, "Can you really make him make up for the penalty?"
In fact, he didn't see whether Sagna had a handball or not, but he was a little regretful that in order to pursue the speed of shooting, he made the arc smaller, otherwise Sagna wouldn't even have a chance to touch the ball.
Aguero was still a little aggrieved, "It can't be treated as if nothing happened."
"He has already felt your anger, and the next penalty will definitely favor us."
"hope so……"
"There was a controversy in the penalty area. Aguero seemed to think that Sagna had a handball. Let's see the replay... Well, it seems that the football did hit Sagna's forearm, but whether it is considered a handball is still up for debate. ...Ouch! It’s really a handball! The camera from this angle clearly shows that Sagna’s left forearm left his body when he was sideways blocking the ball. This was a misjudgment!”
Sagna secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the back of the goal with a guilty conscience, preparing to defend Manchester City's corner kick.
Cross hit the ball to the back point, but Yang Feng failed to get the first point due to Mertesacker's pull. The football flew over their heads.
Silva from behind quickly reached the goal and fired a low shot at the football.
The penalty area was full of feet, and he didn't have time to choose the angle properly. Anyway, he just pushed towards the lower left corner of the goal in a hurry.
The football didn't know whose foot it hit, and it bounced out. In the chaos, Yaya Toure poked again and sent the ball into Szczesny's arms.
The crisis was over. Wenger on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief and waved quickly.
Fight back!
Szczesny quickly threw the ball to Walcott on the wing.
The little tiger knocked the ball forward gently, and just as he was about to rush forward with the ball, a figure suddenly entangled him.
Yang Feng?
Walcott was startled, but he poked the ball forward and started chasing it.
Yang Feng also ran with all his strength.
His speed attribute comes from Walcott, but he is stronger, taller and has longer legs. He still has the upper hand visibly when running at full speed.
Yang Feng even took the time to open the system interface and take a look. His speed attribute was still S at this moment. It seemed that even if he was faster than Walco, it was still relatively limited.
"Needless to say, sss must be Bolt, ss should be in the same group as Caniggia and Ronaldo, and s is probably the fastest in active service..."
Lineker said in surprise: "It's incredible, Young caught up with Walcott?! No, not just caught up, he looks faster than Walcott!"
"It's time for you to catch up," Martin Taylor said with a smile. "Young's speed is comparable to Robben. He is the fastest player in the Bundesliga. Obviously, he is probably the fastest in the Premier League..."
Walcott felt the pressure from Yang Feng and stepped on the ball to make an emergency stop.
Both of them slid forward due to inertia, and Walcott quickly turned around and swept the ball towards the center.
Wilshere, who arrived late, made a direct pass and wanted to hand the ball to Giroud, but the ball was destroyed by Yaya Toure who came back to defend.
The football was at Manchester City's feet again.
Yang Feng immediately turned around and rushed straight into the Arsenal penalty area.
Walcott gritted his teeth and chased after him unconvinced, but when Yang Feng started the car first, he could only follow behind and eat dust.
"It's impossible. He wasn't that fast when we last met..."
The last time he played against Arsenal, Yang Feng's strength attribute was still A, and it had no bonus to speed. Of course, he was only about the same as Walcott, but now he is naturally different.
The football was placed at Kroos' feet.
Cross stopped the ball, took a moment to observe the situation in front of the goal, and then passed the ball in at about a 45-degree angle on the right side of the penalty area.
I don’t know if he was fooled or if his footwork is really that good. This long pass actually has the style of Beckham. The football seemed to be heading towards the goal, but in the end it drew an exaggerated arc. The trajectory was almost parallel to the crossbar and flew to the other side of the goal.
Yang Feng ran a trajectory in the penalty area that no one could understand, but miraculously escaped all interceptions. He leaned forward while running at full speed and leaped to the top.
The football flew straight to the left of the goal.
"Kros made a long pass from outside the penalty area! Yang Feng stepped in from behind and headed the ball towards the goal! Hey, hey, hey? The whistle sounded, what's going on?"
Szczesny raised his hand as a reflex, and the football hit his arm with a bang and bounced upward into the goal.
But before that, the small flag in the linesman's hand had been raised.
"Is it offside?" He Shi still didn't believe it, "It looks like it should be a good goal!"
"Young's goal was blown away again. Could it be a misjudgment? Look at the replay, oh, he really wasn't wronged this time. Sagna and Mertesacker cooperated very well and deliberately let him fall offside. Location."
Yang Feng had just completed a chest brake case and was still a little dazed. When he heard the whistle, he couldn't tell whether it was a goal whistle or an offside whistle until he saw Aguero pull himself up with a calm look on his face. , only to find out that the goal had been disallowed again.
He rubbed his chest muscles, hissed, and then said, "So unlucky?"
Akun gloated: "Did we agree that the penalty will be biased towards us next time?"
"...So this referee has a grudge against me, right?"
"They have set up a trap for you to escape," Akun said. "I wanted to remind you, but you were too quick."
"What a dog..."
Cross was also depressed.
The kick just now was his extraordinary performance. If it had scored, it would definitely be regarded as one of the highlights of his career. But as a result, it was lost like this. I felt a little unhappy.
Yang Feng came over and smiled helplessly, "It's a beautiful message."
"I clearly saw the pass correctly, how could it be offside..."
"It's okay, come again."
Arsenal were also frightened, and Wenger even looked away. He walked back to the coaching bench angrily, as if he was sulking with someone, and sat down with his shoulders in his arms.
"Yang is too active. Just five minutes into the game, he has already shot twice, and both times he sent the football into Arsenal's goal. Unfortunately, he was a bit unlucky. Both goals were ruled invalid, but Arsenal We can't continue like this, otherwise this game will most likely turn into a bloodbath..."
Lineker's words were indeed correct, because historically this game was indeed a goal battle, 6-3.
The defenders of both sides, who had just returned from the Champions League away game, were somewhat out of shape, which made the offense of both sides flourish.
In the 7th minute of the game, Walcott's wing fast break finally came out.
The football was passed to the center, Ozil made a clever pass, Giroud's shot was blocked by Kompany, and Arsenal also missed the lead opportunity.
In the 10th minute of the game, David Silva and Yang Feng passed one to the right side of the small penalty area. Aguero succeeded in countering offside, but unfortunately the shot was slightly stronger and the football went over the crossbar.
One minute later, Arsenal advanced the ball to the penalty area through a quick short pass. Clichy made a reckless tackle and gave the opponent a well-positioned free kick. However, Ozil's subsequent free kick was also missed by him. Pushing it out with your head can be regarded as a way to make up for it.
The first half passed quickly. Everyone thought that the two tired teams would play a boring game. Unexpectedly, both teams were sharper than the other. Unfortunately, there was only thunder but no rain, and the first goal was still missing.
"Hit the ball again... It seems that everyone is a bit short of luck in scoring today... Look at this ball... Kroos really dared to pass the ball, he started directly from the midfield... Yang Feng stopped beautifully! It was like the football was on his feet... He didn't pass the ball, he just brought it in..."
Yang Feng easily unloaded Kroos' long pass in the ribs of the penalty area, and then quickly entered the penalty area.
Sagna and Koscielny quickly came out to intercept, while Monreal quickly followed Aguero who was outflanking the back of the goal. However, Yang Feng did not even look up and was determined to ride alone. Break through.
The three met near the small penalty area. Sagna and Koscielny carefully kept the distance from Yang Feng. Unexpectedly, Yang Feng suddenly accelerated and dunked the ball alternately with the inside of his left and right feet, just like magic. Passed between the two of them.
Szczesny struck decisively and pounced on the football.
Yang Feng had already wanted to hit the goal, but after seeing Szczesny's attack, he immediately gently moved the ball forward, just in time to avoid his attack.
At this time, most of the empty goal has appeared in front of Yang Feng, and he can send the ball into the empty goal with just one push.
Monreal, who was following Aguero, didn't care about anything else and immediately fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, blocking Yang Feng and the goal.
But Yang Feng glanced at him strangely, and then tapped his heel lightly.
The football quickly rolled into the other side of the goal as the audience was stunned...
