Chapter 511 Against Manchester City

   Heavy rain continued until the next day.

  The gloomy weather, with dark clouds rolling in the sky, also makes the sky in Manchester feel depressing.

  Arsenal's bus departs from the hotel to the Etihad Stadium on time.

   Along the way, the Arsenal players did not communicate much.

  When approaching the stadium, the atmosphere has already begun to warm up.

   Even though it was still raining in the sky, it failed to stop the enthusiasm of Manchester City fans.

   There are even some reporters who are still insisting on reporting while staring at the rain.

   "This is the reporter in front of Sky Sports. A minute ago, Arsenal's bus passed by here. They will arrive at the Etihad Stadium in three minutes."

"For Manchester City, which has won six consecutive victories, Arsenal, the defending champion of the Champions League, is a strong enemy. Guardiola also said that Arsenal has always been an opponent he cannot ignore, despite the current state of Arsenal. Uncertain, but we can still expect how the two teams will perform in this game!"

  Ahead, Arsenal's bus has arrived at the Etihad Stadium.

   Le Kai and others braved the rain and ran into the venue quickly.

  After arriving in the locker room, everyone began to prepare for warm-up.

  They put the short spiked boots they usually use in the cabinet, and took out the spiked boots to put on their feet.

  In this rainy environment, spiked boots are more conducive to grip.

   After changing their shoes, everyone walked out of the player tunnel to start warming up.

  The rain was cold. Even though the venue was lively and the weather was not particularly cold, the rain still felt extremely cold.

   "We must warm up fully. The rain will quickly take away the heat from our bodies. If you don't want to get hurt, give me a little serious training."

   Lucky told his teammates.

  Now compared to the captain, Lucy seems to be more of a nanny.

   Lucky never thought that one day he would do such a thing.

   But no matter what!

  The bridge between players, coaches and clubs is the captain.

   And the captain also needs to be responsible for the players.

   Lucky can of course throw his hands away and fool too much, but if he really does this, Arsenal may really be ruined!

   Driven by Lucky, the Arsenal players are warming up.

   It can be seen that even in the warm-up session, Arsenal is methodical, and no one is lazy.

   Guardiola stood under the canopy of the coach's bench, looking at Arsenal's half.

  The Arsenal team that eliminated them in the semi-finals of the Champions League left a deep impression on him.

  Arsenal last season gave Guardiola a feeling of being unstoppable.

  Whether it is player status and morale, team atmosphere, competitive status, etc., they all surpassed Bayern Munich at the time.

  Arsenal made sufficient preparations to win the game, and they also successfully won the final and even won the Champions League.

Guardiola admitted that Arsenal was difficult to beat last season, but since the start of this season, Arsenal has fallen into championship syndrome and a series of troubles. Although it has gradually stabilized now, it wants to go back to last season state is particularly difficult.

   At the same time, if it was Arsenal last season!

  Guardiola feels that there is basically no chance of winning this game!

  Although they have completed six consecutive victories, the momentum is like a rainbow.

   But there was a sense of invincibility and grit in that Arsenal team.

  The newly formed Manchester City is certainly very good, but it still cannot shake Arsenal's status.

   But not now!

  Arsenal's situation is far more complicated than performance.

  Even Wenger needs a headache.

  So for Guardiola, he feels that Manchester City has a great chance of winning this game.

  The two sides returned to their locker rooms, preparing for the final stage of the game.

   Patrice also announced the starting lineup.

  Basically there is not much difference, there are still 11 main players.

  Among them, Mustafi still did not get the chance to start, he was really suppressed by Mertesacker.

   "This is LeTV Sports, the upcoming game is the 2015/2016 season Manchester City's home game against the new UEFA Champions League champion Arsenal!"

   After finishing the opening remarks, Zhan Jun briefly explained the current situation of the two teams.

   "There is a full 10-point gap between Manchester City and Arsenal in the standings. Compared with Manchester City, which has won six consecutive victories, Arsenal has stumbled all the way since the start of the season, and their state is ups and downs."

Zhang Lu: "In the beginning, Wenger's departure had a great impact on Arsenal. This impact was not only technical and tactical, but also a sense of panic in the heart. This also led to a dismal start for Arsenal until the fourth game. Only one victory was won, and the game against Liverpool was certainly a high-spirited match, but it was more a test of Lucky's explosion."

   "It is best to limit the outbreak of this kind of individual players. It is nothing more than mobilizing more people to suppress it!"

   "The European Super Cup and Watford did this in the last round, and the effect is extremely remarkable!"

  Zhan Jun: "So, will Guardiola limit Le Kai in this game?"

Zhang Lu pondered for a moment and said: "It will definitely be restricted, but it will not be stared at. Guardiola's Manchester City is more about adapting their own system than restricting a certain player. They will not pay attention to or restrict A certain player, but play your own style."

  While the two were talking, the camera showed that two teams had already walked out of the player channel.

  The starting lineups of both sides also appeared on the big screen.

  Manchester City (4-2-3-1):

  Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

  Defenders: Kolarov, Mangala, Otamendi, Sagna.

  Midfielders: De Bruyne, Delph, David Silva, Fernandio, Sterling.

  Forward: Aguero.

  Arsenal (4-3-3):

  Goalkeeper: Petr Cech.

  Defenders: Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal.

  Midfielders: Lucky, Wilshere, Kanter.

  Forwards: Aubameyang, Suarez, Sanchez.

  Manchester City's lineup means that they never thought about targeting a certain player at all, what they want to play is their own thing.

   That is, the so-called tactics of restricting Le Kai from the outside world are not worth mentioning in Guardiola's view.

  He feels that relying on Manchester City's midfielder is enough to suppress Arsenal, and compared to the so-called tactical victory, what he wants more is the running-in of the lineup system.

   To put it bluntly, Guardiola didn't feel that Manchester City had a special need to target Lucky.

   In one-on-one situations, whether it is David Silva or others, they have the ability to limit Lucky.

   Lucky also noticed Manchester City's lineup.

  He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  For two consecutive games, Le Kai was stared at very hard. Although this is commonplace in football, it feels really bad to be stared at by the opponent.

   In this game, Manchester City did not pay too much attention to Lucky.

   This also made Lucy slightly relaxed.

   "Okay, the two captains have completed the side selection, Suarez stands on the center circle, and Arsenal kicks off first."

  Paul Merson looked forward to: "Will Manchester City win and continue their seven-game winning streak, or will Arsenal defeat Manchester City to end the opponent's winning streak?"

   As soon as the voice fell, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

  Suarez broke the ball.

  Wilshere received the ball and passed back, but did not run forward too much, but wandered around Lucky.

   Lucky took the initiative to retreat to catch the ball.

  In this game, Le Kai's position returned to the midfielder.

   But that doesn't mean he won't be involved in the offense.

   Lucky retreated and gestured towards Mertesacker, who passed the ball decisively.

   With the ball on his back, Lucky decisively crossed the ball and passed it to Wilshere.

  The next second, he heard the rapid footsteps gradually disappearing.

   Manchester City's front game is very hard!

   Lucy frowned slightly.

  Wilshere passes the ball back to Lucky.

  At this time, De Bruyne rushed to Lekai, trying to steal.

   Lucky flicked the ball horizontally and made several consecutive fake moves, but failed to pass De Bruyne. Finally, he pulled the ball away and passed the ball to Kanter.

   Kanter immediately passed the ball diagonally forward.

   Lucky started decisively at this time and caught up with the ball.

  Faced with this change, De Bruyne was somewhat unable to react.

   When he turned his head, Lucky had already completed the pass.

   Lucky did not look down at the ball, but set his eyes on Aubameyang.

   You said you were fast.

  You said that you hope that your teammates will create enough runways for you!

   Le Kai looked down at the ball and kicked it out with his right foot.

  The ball was fast and urgent, flying straight ahead like an arrow.

  At the same time, Aubameyang also finished getting rid of it, and ran wildly!

  At this moment, Aubameyang's speed was fully displayed, and he was the best!
