In the 19th minute, Grosso used strong defense to suppress Arsenal's wing attack.
Lauren wanted to eat Grosso alive based on his speed, but he didn't expect that this 1.9-meter tall man was also very fast. He caught up with him and made a flying tackle, making a perfect defense.
However, Lauren was unable to get up after falling to the ground.
The Arsenal doctor came in and later stated that Lauren could not continue to play.
On the sidelines of Arsenal, Wu Xudong warmed up urgently.
Chinese fans thousands of miles away were particularly excited.
The Chinese Derby is on again!
Although the real Chinese Derby should be between Wu Xudong and Sun Jihai, the latter has not yet played.
But no Chinese would not regard Deng Kai as one of their own.
Just disbanding football, dismantling countless football leaders, and ushering in the era of national football imprisonment is enough for Deng Kai to be remembered by all Chinese people.
With Wu Xudong playing, Arsenal's right wing was further revitalized, because it was discovered that Wu Xudong played more aggressively than Laurent.
Lauren is fast, a good passer, and aggressive.
But he is still a full-back.
This Wu Xudong's playing style even makes people feel that he and Henry are stupidly indistinguishable.
He's even in the penalty area.
In the 28th minute, Grosso pulled Wu Xudong down and did not let Wu Xudong take off.
But Grosso also received a yellow card for this.
Thirty-six minutes.
Wu Xudong beat Grosso alive, and the latter was timid and missed the best defensive opportunity because he had a yellow card.
boom!
Wu Xudong sent a cross.
Later point!
Bergkamp moved smartly, bypassed Hierro's defense, penetrated from the back row, and scored with a header.
Three to one!
"Goal! I have to say that after Wu Xudong came on, Arsenal's threat from the right has increased a lot."
"He is a relatively extreme player. Wenger has expressed his optimism for Wu Xudong many times."
"But the most important reason why Wu Xudong failed to secure a starting spot at Arsenal is that his defense is slightly weaker. It's not his defensive ability, but his playing style that inevitably leads to defensive loopholes."
"Many friends who follow Manchester City should be able to see that Wu Xudong's playing style is actually very similar to Manchester City's two full-backs."
"Wu Xudong's absolute speed is faster than Manchester City's Maicon, Lahm, and Grosso. But these three people have their own advantages in body, passing, dribbling skills, and height."
"From Sporting Lisbon to Manchester City, Triguera, Maxa, and Deng Kai's requirements for full-backs have not changed."
"Including Wu Xudong's assist, the choice of passing the ball behind the ball is also very characteristic of Sporting Lisbon."
Three to one!
Arsenal fans started to cheer.
The faces of Manchester City players showed seriousness.
"Steady!" Deng Kai began to communicate with his teammates, "Grosso, you can't beat Wu Xudong, so don't go up for now and put your energy into defense."
"Toure, switch with me and I'll go to the right."
"Thiago, pay attention to filling the hole in the right midfielder position. We are focusing on this side now."
"Ribery, Maicon, smash them, see if Wu Xudong + Ljungberg + Henry are more efficient, or the three of us are sharper. Is there any problem?"
Everyone shouted together: "No problem!"
Soon, the situation took a turn for the better.
Forty-one minutes.
Deng Kai hit the wall with Maicon and Ribery continuously, and then pretended to cut inside and passed the ball to Ribery.
Ribery swept the ball into the Arsenal penalty area.
Fowler grabbed the spot and pushed the ball, and the football hit Seaman's body, just inches away from scoring.
But to make matters worse, Fowler collapsed.
He and Kolo Toure grabbed points together, and the latter's physical fitness completely overwhelmed Fowler.
The genius killer's glass-man attributes are really hopeless.
Players such as Deng Kai and Yaya Toure quickly came over to care about Fowler's condition, and the team doctor also came in afterwards.
Yaya Toure even exchanged pleasantries with his brother Kolo Toure on the spot.
Kolo Toure's development initially went much better than Yaya Toure's because he stayed at Arsenal and is now an important rotating center back for Arsenal.
But after Yaya Toure was eliminated by Arsenal, he achieved a comeback in a corner.
He left for Lisbon and won numerous championships with Deng Kai at Sporting CP.
At the beginning, he was still an important rotation, but after he accepted Manchester City's invitation, he became Manchester City's main midfielder.
This year, people are talking about Deng Kai as the best midfielder in Europe.
But Yaya Toure, who can form a golden midfield combination with Europe's No. 1 midfielder, has also become a potential new star midfielder in the Premier League.
You know, he is only nineteen years old now, not even twenty.
But people are already comparing him to stars such as Lampard and Gerrard.
If he can maintain this form, he will become a first-class star within two years.
So sometimes destiny is really difficult to predict.
Fonte: It’s really important to work with the right person!
Ultimately, Fowler couldn't stay in the game.
Manchester City also made substitutions due to injuries.
But with Deng Kai's nod, Maxa actually chose to replace Fowler with full-back Lahm.
Wenger next door looked confused.
Ram?
A back six?
"Oh! This is... Baggio went to the center position, he went to fill Fowler's position."
"Grosso moves forward and plays as a left winger."
"Lahm took Grosso's former left-back position."
"This... is a very strange formation."
The 523 formation is not weird.
But the weird thing is... Grosso, who is 1.91 meters tall, plays left winger, and Baggio, who is 1.74 meters tall, plays center?
And don’t forget that Baggio is thirty-four or thirty-five. With his body and body, he can play as a center forward. How much hatred do you have between Marquesa and Baggio?
But soon everyone understood Manchester City's playing style.
Baggio looks like a center forward, but he is actually a shadow forward.
The focus is on retracement and organization.
On the contrary, Grosso frequently appeared at the center position, wrestling with Campbell and Kolo Toure.
Lahm also showed off his offensive attributes.
If the previous wing combination of Grosso + Baggio could not catch the defensive holes left by Wu Xudong's forward penetration.
Then Ram + Grosso can catch it.
Speed is hard currency on the wing.
Letting Baggio go to the center not only allows him to attack in series, but also allows him to make way for the fast lane on the wing.
Finally, as Ram passed in, Grosso headed the ball wide and the first half ended.
The score was three to one, with Arsenal leading by two goals.
…
During the halftime break, Deng Kai focused on communicating with Grosso and Maicon.
He made it clear that he would replace both of them at six or seventy minutes.
Let the two of them attack as hard as they can in the first twenty minutes of the second half without any reservations.
The whole world thinks that the engine of Manchester City is Deng Kai.
This may be true for other games as well.
But in this game, Manchester City's real engine is the two full-backs.
No, it should be... four full-backs!
