After equalizing the score, the morale of the Arsenal team was extremely high.
Therefore, it is natural for them to work hard and strive to overtake the score.
The entire Arsenal team attacked aggressively, and Manchester City could only shrink its defense for the time being.
In fact, overall, Manchester City's lineup looks more luxurious than Arsenal's.
But there is no way.
Football is not a game that simply depends on the overall lineup. At this point, Manchester City has no way to restrict it and can only pile up the number of people, resulting in their overall advantage being unable to be used at all.
On the Manchester United side, Manchester United took back a two-goal lead and beat Chelsea's counterattack.
Although fighting at Old Trafford.
But this Manchester United team is not too "idealistic".
They won't talk about sticking to a ball-control style or anything like that.
They can press forward when it's time to attack, and they can put their bodies down when it's time to defend.
Ferguson ran the army rigorously.
What matters is a command and a prohibition.
Super discipline is a distinctive feature of Ferguson's Manchester United.
"In this round of two focus battles in the championship zone, Manchester United and Arsenal have shown their energy. They may be the two opponents who can compete until the last minute."
In the dugout at the Emirates Stadium.
Sky Sports TV commentator Andy Gray made a judgment based on the current situation on the court.
But he was quickly slapped in the face.
Because just as he finished speaking.
Arsenal, which had a huge advantage, suddenly suffered a blow!
Manchester City launched a quick counterattack.
Two passes passed the ball to the front wing. David Silva passed the ball into the penalty area. After Dzeko protected the ball, he was fouled by Mertesacker and fell to the ground!
The referee immediately blew the whistle and pointed at the penalty spot!
"Penalty kick! Penalty kick!! Ahhh! Manchester City got a penalty!! This game was really full of twists and turns! Manchester City once led by two goals and was equalized, and then they relied on a counterattack to win in an extremely passive situation. Scored a penalty!!”
"Permertesacker! He is too reckless, he should not have stuck out his foot!"
"Penalty! Manchester City gets a penalty!!"
The commentators in the commentary box put their heads in their hands.
The entire Emirates Stadium fell into silence at this moment.
Mertesacker defended himself: "I didn't exert any force, he bumped into my foot himself!"
Captain Ye Luo also came up to communicate with the referee.
"There was a hook foul. Your guys obviously didn't kick the ball."
The referee explained it to Ye Luo.
This is Ye Luo's power as captain.
In fact, Ye Luo also knew that the referee was unlikely to change the penalty decision.
He had to turn to comfort Mertesacker and other Arsenal players.
The game is still long.
Even if the score was exceeded again.
They still have time to come back.
Wenger looked helpless on the sidelines.
The camera gave Wenger a close-up.
Duan Xuan, the commentator of Longguo National TV, said helplessly: "Arsenal's luck is so bad. Seeing a good situation, it suddenly took a turn for the worse."
Wenger was really helpless. The game seemed to be tilting towards Arsenal. As a result, the opponent's big kick went in front and actually resulted in a penalty kick.
What more can be said?
I'm so unlucky that I can't even drink cold water without filling my teeth.
The only good news may be that the game time is quite long now.
There is at least enough time left for Arsenal.
But it is difficult for Wenger to guarantee whether this conceded goal will have a negative impact on the morale of the Arsenal players.
He looked toward his bench.
There are not many players at his disposal on the bench.
If you want to strengthen the offense, there will only be Chamberlain and Walcott.
But should we replace the defensive players now and replace them with attackers?
It's a trade-off.
Because once Arsenal's defensive strength in the backcourt is weakened.
Will Manchester City's attack gain momentum as a result?
This is also something Wenger needs to consider.
Mancini on the other side was as excited as a child, jumping to the sidelines and cheering in celebration.
This penalty almost brought Manchester City back from the brink!
In these few minutes, Arsenal's offensive was overwhelming.
Mancini once thought that his team was going to suffer a major reversal in this stadium.
He has even begun to think about how to comfort his players after losing this game, how to restore the team's morale, and how to continue to compete for the championship.
but now.
Let these damn things die!
We can win!
Mancini embraced his assistants excitedly.
"Don't worry, trust me, we will come back and overtake!"
Yelo put his arm around Mertesacker's shoulders and said to his teammates.
His tone was flat.
But firm.
Theoretically, Manchester City has not exceeded the score again, they must score a penalty kick.
It was Aguero who took the penalty kick.
Amidst the boos at the Emirates Stadium.
Aguero steadily scored the penalty kick, causing the Arsenal fans who were still a little lucky to suddenly lose any luck.
Now they are falling behind again.
The atmosphere in the stadium became slightly quieter as a result.
Yeluo stepped on the ball in the center circle and waited for the game to resume.
The people in Manchester City were celebrating. If the referee didn't intervene, these guys would probably be celebrating until the end of the game.
Therefore, the game will not resume so quickly for a while.
"Penalty kick?!"
at Old Trafford.
When Ferguson received the news, his expression was complicated.
He had a feeling that "this world is so ridiculous."
Arsenal were two goals behind at half-time.
As a result, they equalized in the second half.
Less than five minutes had passed since the equalizer.
A penalty kick was awarded.
What is football?
This damn football
Ferguson thought to himself.
But this is of course quite beneficial to Manchester United.
As long as Arsenal don't win, they can take the opportunity to climb to the top of the table.
In the middle and late stages of the league.
Now any change in the standings will have a huge impact on the final championship battle!
The long league marathon has gradually entered the sprint stage!
After scoring again.
Manchester City's morale was shaken.
Their defense has also become more solid.
Mancini also made substitutions. He replaced Milner and Dzeko.
Milner came on to play as a defensive midfielder.
The England player is a jack of all trades.
Can play almost any position except goalkeeper.
He has abundant physical energy, strong running ability, tenacious fighting spirit and hard defense.
At this time, strengthening Milner in the middle of the midfield to protect the front of the penalty area is of great significance to the stability of Manchester City's defense.
Not long after Milner came on.
Mancini continued to mobilize his troops.
He replaced Javi Garcia with Barry.
Barry is also a defensive midfielder.
Thus.
Manchester City has three players, Barry, Milner and Yaya Toure, in the middle of the midfield.
There are David Silva and Sinclair on both sides, and the one at the front is Aguero, a forward.
Manchester City scored 451.
Mancini wants to keep this victory.
Faced with Manchester City's full retreat, Arsenal actually had no good solution.
The rhythm of the game became very slow after Manchester City got the penalty kick.
unconsciously.
The game has reached the 80th minute.
In another stadium, Ferguson was sitting on the coaching bench, paying close attention to Arsenal's news.
Because Manchester United is now two goals ahead, winning this game is already very safe.
Only Arsenal made Ferguson very "concerned".
It's eighty minutes.
No news from Arsenal yet.
But Ferguson is not in a hurry.
Because in the current situation, no news is the best news.
"The game has reached the 80th minute, and Arsenal still failed to equalize the score. After encountering a penalty kick, the morale of the Arsenal team was affected. At the same time, Manchester City's authority was also reduced, making their offense very difficult. difficult."
Ferguson wore headphones and listened to the commentary of another game.
When he heard the commentator say this, Ferguson had a look of satisfaction on his face.
Arsenal lost, Manchester United won, and successfully climbed to the top.
It sounds so pleasant.
"Ye Luo is holding the ball on the wing and he looks like he's going to do it himself!"
Hearing the voice coming from the earphones, Ferguson couldn't help but sit up straight.
Yelo received the pass on the wing.
The restricted area is densely packed with people.
He decided to make a breakthrough of his own. After pretending to play a one-two with Cazorla, he suddenly turned around and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Before Zabaleta could react, Ye Luo burst in from his side. He subconsciously turned around and released the shovel!
As a result, his movements were too slow. After Ye Luo hooked the ball away, his feet arrived, tripping Ye Luo to the ground.
"Penalty kick!!!"
Ferguson's expression changed, and he heard a voice coming from the earphones that made his heart twitch.
"Penalty kick! The referee pointed to the penalty spot! Zabaleta was too reckless! He tripped Yello! Penalty kick! Undisputed."
damn it!
Ferguson took off his headphones.
But then he thought about it.
Let’s not talk about whether the penalty kick will be scored or not.
Even if you get in.
It was just an equalizer.
It seems that Arsenal and Manchester City each get a point, which is also beneficial to Manchester United!
Manchester United are now two goals ahead.
You can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
As long as Arsenal don't lead.
Ferguson thought of this and put the headphones on his ears again.
"Fake! This is a fake!"
Mancini rushed to the fourth official with his hands raised.
"Red card!! This is a red card!!" Wenger also rushed over.
Two head coaches got into an altercation on the sidelines.
The fourth official had no choice but to mediate.
And on the court.
Manchester City players surrounded the referee.
Zabaleta held his head in his hands, with an extremely aggrieved expression on his face.
He pointed at the football and said, "That's the ball I scooped!"
If the slow motion hadn't shown that he didn't touch the ball at all, but tripped Ye Luo to the ground from behind.
I'm afraid many people will be confused: Is what he said true?
no way.
As a football player.
Without Yidiandian's acting skills, how can he be successful on the court?
