Chapter 511 Against Manchester City

   Heavy rain continued until the next day.

   The gloomy weather, with the dark clouds rolling in the sky, also gave the Manchester sky a depressing feeling.

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

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

   As we approached the stadium, the atmosphere was already heating up.

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

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

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

"For Manchester City, who have 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 that he cannot ignore, despite the current state of Arsenal's ups and downs. Not sure, but we can still look forward to how the two teams will perform in this game!"

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

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

After    came to the locker room, everyone began to prepare to warm up.

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

   In such a rainy environment, long spiked boots are more conducive to the ability to grip the ground.

  After changing shoes, everyone walked out of the player tunnel and started to warm up.

  The rain was cold. Although the area inside the venue was lively and the weather was not particularly cold, the rain still felt extremely cold.

   "Be sure to warm up well, the rain will quickly take away the heat from our body. If you don't want to get injured, give me some serious training."

   Lucky told his teammates.

   Now, compared to the captain, Lucky seems to be playing more of a nanny role.

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

   But no matter what!

  The bridge between the player, the coach and the club is the captain.

   And the captain is also responsible for the players.

   Lucky can of course make a fool of himself, but if he does, Arsenal will probably be ruined!

  Led by Lucky, Arsenal's players are warming up.

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

   Guardiola stood under the roof of the coaching bench, looking at Arsenal's half.

   The Arsenal who knocked them out in the Champions League semi-final left a deep impression on him.

   Arsenal last season gave Guardiola an unstoppable feeling.

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

  Arsenal was well prepared to win the game, and they also successfully won the final and even won the Champions League.

Guardiola admits that last season's Arsenal were difficult to beat, but since the start of this season, Arsenal have fallen into the championship syndrome and a series of troubles. Although they have gradually stabilized, they want to return to last season. state is particularly difficult.

   Meanwhile, if it was Arsenal last season!

   Guardiola felt that there was basically no chance of winning this game!

   Although they have completed a six-game winning streak, the momentum is like a rainbow.

   But that Arsenal had an invincible, gritty feel.

  The newly formed Manchester City is very good, but it still cannot shake the status of Arsenal.

   But it's different now!

   Arsenal's situation is far more complicated than the performance.

   Even Wenger needs a headache.

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

  The two sides returned to their locker rooms to prepare for the final stage of preparations before the game.

   Patrice also announced the starting lineup.

   Basically there is not much difference, it is still the main 11 people.

   Among them, Mustafi still did not get the chance to start, and 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 Champions League champion Arsenal!"

  Zhan Jun briefly explained the current situation of the two teams after completing the opening remarks.

   "Manchester City and Arsenal are 10 points apart 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 up and down."

Zhang Lu: "In the beginning, Wenger's departure had a great impact on Arsenal, not only in terms of technical and tactical aspects, but more of a sense of panic at the psychological level, which also led to a bleak start for Arsenal until the fourth game. Only one victory was won, and that game against Liverpool was proud of itself, but it was more about Luckey's explosion."

   "It's best to limit the outbreak of this kind of individual player, it's nothing more than mobilizing more people to suppress it!"

   "The European Super Cup and the last round of Watford did just that, and the effect was extremely significant!"

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

Zhang Lu pondered for a moment and said; "It will definitely be restricted, but it will not be stared to death. Guardiola's Manchester City is more about running in their own system than restricting a certain player, and they will not pay attention or restrict. A certain player, but to play his own style."

   When the two were talking, two teams appeared in the camera to have walked out of the player tunnel.

   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.

   Striker: Aguero.

  Arsenal (4-3-3):

   Goalkeeper: Cech.

  Defenders: Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal.

  Midfielder: Lucky, Wilshere, Kanter.

   Forwards: Aubameyang, Suarez, Sanchez.

  Manchester City's lineup means that they have never thought about targeting a player, they want to play their own thing.

   That is, the so-called tactic of restricting Luckey is not worth mentioning in Guardiola's view.

   He feels that with Manchester City's midfield enough to suppress Arsenal, and he wants more than the so-called tactical victory is the running-in of the lineup system.

   To put it bluntly, Guardiola did not feel that Manchester City had a special need to target Lucky.

   In a one-on-one situation, either David Silva or others have the ability to limit Lucky.

  Lekai also noticed Manchester City's lineup.

   This made him heave a sigh of relief.

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

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

   This also makes Lucky a little easier.

   "Okay, the two captains have completed their side selection, Suarez stood in the middle circle, and Arsenal took the lead."

  Paul Mawson asked expectantly: "Will Manchester City win and extend 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 takes the ball away.

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

   Lucky took the initiative to retreat to catch the ball.

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

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

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

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

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

  Manchester City's front game was very hard!

   Lucky frowned slightly.

  Wilshere re-passed the ball to Lucky.

   At this time, De Bruyne rushed to Lekai and wanted to steal.

  Lekai swiped the ball horizontally and made several fake moves in a row, but failed to get past De Bruyne. Finally, he pulled the ball away and spun the ball to Kante.

  Kante immediately passed the ball diagonally forward.

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

   In the face of this change, De Bruyne was somewhat unable to react.

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

  Lekai didn't look down at the ball, but set his eyes on Aubameyang.

  You said that you are very fast.

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

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

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

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

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