The entire Etihad Stadium was once again silenced by Yello.
Many commentators were also stunned.
The debate about luck also ceases automatically.
Can scoring two goals in the same way be called luck?
After the game restarted, the TV broadcasts were still replaying Yello's goal from every camera angle over and over again.
The most stunning view is from the camera angle behind the goal.
Because from this angle, you can clearly observe the direction of the ball from the goalkeeper's perspective.
The football flew in the air and moved sideways back and forth twice!
The football quickly changed from small to large, and when it was erratic from left to right, the goalkeeper had too little time to react.
This kind of falling leaf ball is very technically difficult, and Ye Luo has succeeded in such a difficult route in several previous attempts!
Ye Luo almost uses this kind of route as a conventional weapon.
"Amazing!" Duan Xuan couldn't help but admire.
"This line is so beautiful. The erratic lines left and right caused a lot of trouble for Joe Hart. In fact, Manchester City's strategy of guarding the center was successful before this. They once made Yello unable to find any space in the center. , but what they didn’t expect was that Yello coming to the wing could still directly threaten Manchester City’s goal!”
"Ye Luo's threats are almost everywhere!"
"Mancini needs to make some adjustments."
In the commentary box at the scene, many commentators believed that Mancini needed to change his strategy or make some fine-tuning of his tactics.
"Manchester City can't let Yello shoot unscrupulously from the wing. They have to have someone to interfere when Yello shoots." Lineker analyzed.
really.
Mancini pulled Xavi Garcia on the sidelines to explain something.
When Xavi Garcia returned to the court, people discovered that he followed Yello like a plaster. As long as Yello made a shot, he would always block and interfere with it immediately.
Even on the wing.
Although Xavi Garcia sometimes cannot completely block Yello's shot, his presence does interfere with Yello's threat to Manchester City's goal.
Under the interference of the opponent, it is even more difficult to hit the very difficult leaf ball.
Under the physical defense of Xavi Garcia, Yello failed to score any more goals in the first half.
The two sides reached some temporary balance on the court.
Until the end of the first half, neither side could break the deadlock.
The two sides ended the first half with a score of 1 to 2 and each returned to the locker room.
In the home team's dressing room, Mancini did not criticize his players' performance in the first half. Instead, he praised their performance after conceding the second goal.
"We didn't panic and continued to play steadily, which is good. Although we are temporarily behind, there is still the second half of the game. We don't need to be too anxious, stabilize the situation and look for opportunities. As long as we don't let their offense score, we will win in the second half." To get a chance! Just like the goal we scored before!"
Manchester City players nodded after hearing this.
They are all mature stars bought by Manchester City Club at a high price.
The average age is upwards of twenty-five.
Being one goal behind wasn't enough to scare them.
"We need to strengthen our offense in the second half of the game, but we cannot relax our defense. Drive Yelo to the wing. I admit that I underestimated him in the first half, but in the second half, as long as we interfere with him when he shoots, we can win. The difficulty of scoring goals like the two goals in the first half from the wing will increase exponentially."
Mancini said, he looked around and said: "Everyone, although we conceded two goals in the first half, I was not panicked at all. Do you know why? Because the two goals conceded in the first half were accidents. It’s because we didn’t expect Yelo’s shooting ability from the wing, and now, when we are alert enough to his shooting, it will be difficult for him to threaten our goal from the wing!”
Hearing Mancini say this, the Manchester City players had expressions on their faces that said, "He must have made sense after saying so much."
Mancini had a panoramic view of the players' expressions. He then lowered the pressure on the players and told everyone that this game was just the opening game of the season and would not have any major impact on the competition for the league championship.
In fact, the key to the competition for the league championship does not lie in strong dialogue.
It's about the ability to score points against weak teams.
The more stable a team is, the more advantage it will have in a full league marathon.
With the age structure of Arsenal's team, Mancini does not believe they can remain stable throughout the season!
There will definitely be turmoil for them.
Arsenal with Yello is the favorite to compete for the league title.
But there is absolutely no need for Manchester City to panic.
Mancini believes in the stability of his team.
The win over Arsenal was three points.
The win over Sunderland was also three points.
They are all fractions, there is no essential difference.
Therefore, the real test of competing for the league is the stability of the team and the team's ability to steadily score points against weak teams.
On Arsenal's side, Wenger also made adjustments to his tactics. He asked Yello to break into the penalty area more boldly and create some free kicks in the frontcourt which are also good opportunities.
Arsenal still have some big guys here.
Vermaelen is injured in this game.
But Koscielny who replaced him is also quite tall, as well as Mertesacker and Giroud who are over 1.9 meters tall, and Yello's header ability is also here.
Therefore, breaking through and creating set pieces is also one of Arsenal's offensive methods.
If the opponent is concentrated in the middle, then use the frontcourt positioning ball to hit them.
If the opponent attacks.
Then Arsenal can also use their passing ability to take advantage of the space exposed after the opponent presses out.
The head coaches of both sides have made adjustments to their tactics.
However, the key to the game between the head coaches on both sides lies in the execution ability of the players on both sides.
After the second half of the game started.
Ye Luo began to choose to pass more people. He took the initiative to move to the two wings from the beginning of the second half.
There's more space there.
He was still facing Harvey Garcia and the defensive players in this area.
For example, in the 48th minute of the game, he faced Zabaleta, Sinclair, and Xavi Garcia on the left side.
Sinclair came up, Zabaleta and Xavi Garcia helped defend.
Zabaleta's one-on-one defensive ability is still very good, but when facing Yelo, he was also facing a formidable enemy. As soon as Yelo raised his foot, he involuntarily took a step back.
At this moment, Yelo suddenly took the ball and dunked it towards the outside. When Zabaleta was about to turn around and cut off the connection between Yelo and the football, Yelo suddenly pulled the ball back. With this one step ahead, The change of pace came easily from Zabaleta's other side.
Xavi Garcia had already taken precautions against this. He quickly came up and got stuck on the inside line without making any moves. He just stood still.
Of course, he knew that the work at his feet was not Ye Luo's opponent at all, so he did not dream about being able to steal the ball. Instead, he stood honestly in the direction of the inside, preventing Ye Luo from directly kicking. Shooting, on the other hand, is also intended to drive Ye Luo towards the baseline.
Of course, Ye Luo didn't hesitate to continue walking towards the inside.
They're just standing there, so there's no point in trying to bump into them.
He spiked the ball with his right foot, dribbled the ball toward the baseline and swung the ball towards the goal with his left foot.
This is a pass and a shot.
The football goes in the direction of the goal, but there is a goalkeeper in this direction, so it is unlikely that a direct goal will be scored. However, Yello's volley is too fast. Joe Hart will never think that he can control the ball, so this ball There is a certain probability that he will be blocked back into the penalty area and cause some chaos.
Now Manchester City's defense is very strict and methodical. The purpose of Ye Luo's handling is to create as many opportunities as possible to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, Joe Hart also knew Ye Luo’s purpose.
So he tried his best to block the ball toward the baseline.
Even giving Arsenal a corner kick is better than taking the risk of blocking the ball back into the penalty area.
For corner kicks, at least Manchester City can use a complete defensive system to deal with the opponent's offense.
The football hit Joe Hart's foot and popped out of the baseline.
Zabaleta was relieved to see this.
He was a little frightened.
When Ye Luo faced him, he almost asked for everything. He tried his best, but it was difficult to keep up with Ye Luo's rhythm.
Javi Garcia was breathing heavily.
Defending Ye Luo consumes too much physical energy.
Not only do you have to stop and turn suddenly, but you are also under a lot of psychological pressure, which intensifies the physical exertion.
Yelo also seems to know the dilemma of Zabaleta and Xavi Garcia on this side
So he simply stayed on the left wing during this period and focused on this side.
For a while.
Manchester City's defense on their right side looked precarious.
Mancini frowned on the sidelines. Of course he knew that Zabaleta and Xavi Garcia were being targeted by Yello.
If Ye Luo continues to target him like this, Manchester City's defense on this side will definitely collapse.
Zabaleta is fine.
Xavi Garcia has been with Yello for most of the game, and now his physical energy is almost exhausted.
Mancini looked to the bench.
"Barry, go warm up!"
he shouted.
After hearing this, England international midfielder Barry immediately took off his jacket, put on a warm-up vest and ran to the sidelines to warm up.
"Manchester City is going to make substitution adjustments, but isn't this time too early? It's just past the 50th minute, and it's only been five minutes since the second half started." Andy Gray looked at the sidelines in surprise. Barry warming up, "It seems that Manchester City will make adjustments in the midfield, and Barry may have to replace Xavi Garcia."
This is actually not difficult to guess.
Because everyone saw Xavi Garcia's embarrassment.
Sure enough, in the 52nd minute of the game, Manchester City completed the substitution.
Barry replaced Xavi Garcia.
Logically speaking, as a full-time defensive midfielder, Barry should be better than Xavi Garcia in one-on-one defensive ability.
but it is not the truth.
Barry was very embarrassed after coming on the court.
It's not that he is weaker than Xavi Garcia.
But because
Ye Luo started to exert his strength.
In the 54th minute of the game, Yelo continued to hold the ball on the left wing. A continuous change of direction shook the center of gravity of Barry and Zabaleta like braids. Then he spiked the ball and went to the baseline to shoot.
The effect of Manchester City's substitutions is still there.
At least this time Yelo shot, Barry pounced in time and made a flying tackle to block the ball out of the baseline.
But after completing this defense, Barry was breathing heavily.
You know, he has only been on the court for a few minutes.
One can imagine how much pressure Ye Luo created on this wing.
After the corner kick was taken, Kompany cleared it out of the penalty area, and Arsenal still controlled the outside area.
Yeluo's continuous impact on the wing is also a kind of suppression of Manchester City's defense.
Almost immediately, Gibbs, who got the ball from the outside, instinctively passed the ball back to the feet of Yelo who was pulled to the wing.
"here we go again!"
The commentators were excited.
The scene where Ye Luo broke through with the ball continuously and gained the upper hand with one against two was really exciting.
"Yeluo! Beautiful!! Passed Zabaleta and Barry! He cut the penalty area tightly!!"
"Zabaleta was too nervous. Ye's fake move made him take two steps back, which allowed Yelo to gain space to cut into the penalty area. Zabaleta is also a first-class defensive player, but when facing Yelo, he actually In such an embarrassing situation, it can only be said that Ye Luo put too much pressure on him!"
The commentators are all praising Ye Luo for his excellence.
The fans were also hooked.
But people don't think Ye Luo can create any threat after his extraordinary success this time.
There was a lot of people in the penalty area, and Manchester City was suppressed by Arsenal in the penalty area.
This scene made many fans at the Etihad Stadium bite their lips.
no way.
Manchester City must shrink because Yelo's personal breakthrough on the wing is so sharp. If they don't accumulate enough defensive personnel, it will be easy for Yelo to really break in and complete the score.
However, some Manchester City supporters feel that Ye Luo is so sudden and consumes a lot of physical energy. Can he still be able to perform for a whole game?
As long as they can withstand these ten minutes, Manchester City will have a chance. After all, they are only one goal behind.
Ye Luo also knew this. Even though Zabaleta and Barry were embarrassed by him, he actually spent a lot of money in these few minutes.
Even if his physical fitness is very good, it is impossible to sprint for the whole game like this. Reasonable physical distribution is needed.
Right now we are just one goal ahead, it would be great if we could score another one.
The team can shrink back with peace of mind, get a chance to breathe, wait until the physical bottleneck period is over, and then press out to attack. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the game time will also be consumed. In this case, the game will basically be won. Got off.
Yelo was already very close to the baseline when he dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Shot, no angle.
If you pass the ball, the penalty area is densely packed with feet, and it is not easy to find your own person.
At this time Yaya Toure also came up.
He is actually behind Barry and Zabaleta to help defend at any time.
He didn't pounce immediately.
Because Manchester City's midfielder judged that Yelo's biggest threat at the bottom line was passing the ball into the penalty area.
He got stuck in the path of Yelo's pass.
When going to Beijing on the bottom line, basically you can only pass the ball.
So you only need to plug in the line.
If you rush forward rashly and get passed, you're doomed.
Other Manchester City players thought the same.
They all followed Arsenal's attacking players in the penalty area.
Giroud was taken care of by two people, Chamberlain and Cazorla were also in the penalty area, but they were surrounded.
Forcibly passing the ball into the penalty area, perhaps the best result may be that Arsenal gets a corner kick.
However, when Yeluo broke through to the bottom line and kicked the ball out.
Everyone’s pupils shrank!
Shoot! !
How can this be? !
Everyone was shocked.
Does he think Joe Hart is dead?
Joe Hart's body was close to the near post, and there was no gap at the near post.
Could it be that Yello's shot could bypass the goalkeeper in front like a cruise missile?
The thoughts are still running through the minds of Manchester City's players.
They saw the football fly up, almost parallel to the baseline.
Off!
Manchester City's players haven't had time to breathe a sigh of relief yet.
In everyone's horrified eyes.
Football has really turned a corner!
Joe Hart originally started at the near post.
According to the normal shooting route, this position is the only possible route to send the ball into the goal from the bottom line.
As long as he stands here, no matter how Ye Luo shoots, the most it will hit him.
No need to worry at all.
So when the ball came out, Joe Hart felt that Ye Luo's cross was missed.
He was probably trying to pass a high ball, but he didn't kick it, right?
Joe Hart's center of gravity was very low, and he was preventing Ye Luo from directly hitting the near post.
So when the ball came out, he couldn't react.
So he could only raise his head and look back at the ball.
Then he saw it.
The football first flew to the penalty area almost parallel to the baseline and fell.
At the end of football.
Suddenly there is a small turn!
Joe Hart's face froze.
Mancini was shocked!
He suddenly realized that Ye Luo played like this for a purpose! !
He can see things more clearly from the sidelines than the players on the court.
That's not a passing kick at all!
Ye Luo uses the outside instep to rub the ball.
The purpose of this is to spin the football to create an outward arc.
The most famous one with the outer instep is Portuguese forward Quaresma.
Quaresma is very famous, and he even feels that his reputation is greater than his strength - he is the king of Portugal's outer instep.
But the arc drawn by Ye Luo's outer instep is even more exaggerated than the Portuguese outer instep king.
After passing the goalkeeper, the football seemed to draw a semicircle in the air and turned towards the goal! ! ! !
At this moment.
All the Manchester City players have not yet reacted.
They watched helplessly as the ball turned a corner.
boom!
The football hit the far post!
Hit the post!
Manchester City fans' eyes widened.
The expectations in my heart were extinguished just as soon as they were aroused!
The football hit the inside edge of the post.
Bounce into the goal!
When the football flew into the goal, the noisy Etihad Stadium fell into deathly silence for the third time in this game...
Zero angle, outside instep shot.
This way of scoring a goal really makes people don't know what to say.
As Arsenal's players cheered and celebrated.
All Manchester City players couldn't help but lower their heads.
Are they performing poorly?
It’s really not that bad
But unfortunately, he scored with three incredible shots!
One to three!
The home team goes first and the away team goes last.
The mentality of Manchester City players is about to explode
The most unlucky person is Joe Hart. His performance in this game is really not bad, it can even be considered excellent.
But now he has fished the ball out of his own net three times.
Three jaw-dropping world waves, Hart had no choice but to become the backdrop again.
