Thiago Silva has often swung between midfielder and central defender this season. He has developed the ability to take care of both positions. In this game, he will play both finals at the same time.
So Manchester City's playing style has actually not changed.
Change the soup but not the dressing.
But for a team that doesn't allow wide players and backcourt players to step forward frequently for assists, this is a huge change.
…
With a whistle, the game officially begins.
Fans from both sides started cheering.
But soon, one party's throat was strangled.
Second minute.
Ljungberg challenged Grosso from the wing.
He made full use of his flexibility, passed the huge Grosso, and then sent a wonderful pass.
Henry advanced near the penalty area.
Hierro and Thiago Silva double-team Henry.
However, the core of the King of Highbury was established, and he actually withstood the impact of the two central defenders during the move and stabilized the ball.
Then facing Lai Man who attacked, Henry pulled the ball past Lai Man and shot into the empty goal.
Thiago Silva's subsequent pursuit tackle failed to touch the football.
One to zero!
It only took two minutes for Arsenal to lead Manchester City.
"GOAL! Well done!"
"Henry! This is Henry!"
"Henry slipped and knelt down to celebrate, he was so domineering!"
"This is Manchester United's only opponent, Arsenal! Not Manchester City!"
"Deng Kai made so many big words before the game, but now he has suffered the backlash from the traffic!"
"True strength and weakness will not be affected by your subjective will."
"Wenger also clenched his fists in celebration and put his hands in his pockets. He looked at Maxa. Maxa's face was expressionless. I don't know whether he was confident or covering up his panic with indifference!"
In this regard, the explanation was somewhat misunderstood.
Maxa's indifference is truly indifferent.
The outcome of the game has never been related to him.
The only connection may be that Deng Kai will be unhappy if he loses, and then Maxa will have to find a way to do more work.
I heard that ice cream is very popular recently. Why don't you learn how to make ice cream?
Of course, it can't be BMW's ice cream, because it tastes too strong.
"This is the FA Cup!"
"The FA Cup will always belong to Arsenal!"
"We Arsenal are invincible!"
Arsenal fans shouted out what they were thinking.
The rich guy next to Mansour was a little embarrassed at this time.
After all, they are now considered Manchester City's side.
But Manchester City looks like... that's not going to work either.
"Mansour, it seems that your Kai is unreliable." A prince who knew a little bit about football but didn't deal well with Mansour said, "In recent years, the so-called number one midfielder often doesn't end well."
"Mendieta, Veron... are all parallel imports."
"It's very easy to cheat in this position. In fact, if you think about it, how can someone be as good as Ronaldo at the age of 18?"
Mansoor was speechless.
No matter how awesome you are, you still have to come into contact with some annoying idiots in your life.
"Ronaldo became famous in the World Cup at the age of seventeen." Mansour said, "And the difference between Kai and those parallel midfielders you mentioned is that Kai's statistics are real."
"He didn't just rely on his so-called on-field performance to become Europe's No. 1 midfielder. Data, team leadership, charisma, commercial value, potential... Even if someone trades Ronaldo for him, I won't agree."
The other party haha.
Mansour really didn't wake up.
This Chinese guy still wants to trade for Ronaldo?
I want to eat shit!
boom!
There was a sudden loud noise on the court.
Just now, Manchester City kicked off in midfield.
Arsenal took advantage of the situation and launched a frontcourt press.
Manchester City passed five shots in a row, but finally couldn't pass it on anymore.
Grosso finally used his body to hold Ljungberg and then passed a pass to Deng Kai.
Facing Vieira who was grabbing from behind, Deng Kai seemed to have seen Vieira in advance. He leaned over and made a fake move, but he did not actually touch the ball.
Instead, he then turned around.
Football and Deng Kai bypassed Vieira from different directions at the same time.
Vieira was down for a moment, wondering who to deal with.
By the time Vieira reacted and caught up, Deng Kai had already caught up with the football again and completed a... shot!
"This is...a midfield shot!"
"Deng Kai suddenly kicked off! I even thought it was a rescue!"
"Deng Kaidu took off his feet before he passed the center circle. This... is not good! Seaman's position is too forward!"
"Seaman is running towards the goal, remember?"
"That's too late!"
"He-Man took off and he didn't touch the football!"
"The football hit the ground and bounced into the net! The ball went in!"
"GOAL! Deng Kai! Deng Kai scored a super lob!"
"If the sky is affectionate, the sky will also grow old. If I meet He-Man, I'll give him a kick!"
"The biggest problem with England goalkeeper Seaman is his buttery hands. His long-range shot save success rate is not up to the first-class level!"
"And the lob shot... is also a type of long-range shot."
Boom!
There was a tremor at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Looking at the whiskey swaying in the glass, the rich guy from the Middle East seemed to have seen a ghost.
Mansour raised his glass and saluted everyone: "Based on my experience this year, I must admit that I have become irrational."
"Because I actually think that no one in world football is more reliable than Kai!"
"This glass is dedicated to Deng Kai!"
Many rich brothers raised their glasses: "Here's to Deng Kai!"
One to one!
Manchester City caught up after falling behind for just two minutes.
They really want this FA Cup.
In the ninth minute, the pseudo-midfielder composed of Deng Kai, Toure, and Thiago Silva did suffer a loss in numbers and ability, allowing Vieira to complete a high-quality long shot.
Fortunately, Hierro was very tough today and blocked the shot with his body.
Henry received the ball on the left side of the penalty area. He turned around and dribbled horizontally, looking for an opportunity to volley into the far corner.
boom!
Laiman made an ultimate save, almost pushing the football out of the goal with his fingers.
In theory, this is a must-goal.
This makes Wenger angry.
In the 13th minute, Van Bronckhorst, a stranger in a foreign land, lived up to Wang Wei's intention to write a poem for him and made an inverted triangle pass.
Pires, who followed closely, rushed over and succeeded with a shot into the far corner.
Two to one!
Another victory for Arsenal.
"Oh! Pires got an open space, but Manchester City's defense still has problems."
"Maicon is not considered a right back at all. His position today is that of a right midfielder."
"Thiago Silva's activity area is concentrated in the central midfielder position. Manchester City has a defensive hole in the right midfielder, and they have to find a way to fill it."
Manchester City is also aware of this problem.
Toure and Deng Kai will generally cover this place, but there will be some connection problems when handing over to Thiago Silva.
This is a flaw.
