Chapter 460 Treating Guardiola as a Rag
"Andy, why don't you look like you're surprised at all by Manchester City's goal?"
In the Sky Sports commentary box, after Martin Taylor passionately explained the Manchester City goal just now, he looked back and found that his partner was drinking water with a calm face, looking calm and calm.
Isn't this guy a Manchester City fan?
Why are you so calm after seeing Manchester City score such an important goal?
"Haha, of course I'm not surprised, because I knew Brother Lin would take action!"
Andy Gray looked like I knew he would be like this, leaving Martin Taylor on the side speechless.
This goal was scored by Aguero, right?
However, it was indeed Lin Quan who provided him with the assist, and Lin Quan could actually have shot the ball just now, but he still selflessly chose to pass the ball.
"Lin, thank you for the good ball!"
On the court, after scoring this key goal, Aguero excitedly rushed to Lin Quan and gave him a warm hug.
The injury suffered some time ago had a great impact on Aguero's condition. Aguero has struggled in recent games, so for him, this goal is very important.
After scoring this goal, he finally regained some form, and his self-confidence also recovered a lot.
"Haha, you cum well yourself too!"
Aguero's shooting skills are very good, and he rarely spits out cakes. Compared with later strikers such as Sterling who are famous for their happiness, this is much better.
In De Bruyne's peak years, the players on Manchester City's front line often wasted his assists and frequently performed the unique skill of spitting cakes in games, which made Ding Ding extremely depressed.
Fortunately, time turned around and I bought a devil who was very efficient in scoring goals and never spit out cakes. Ding Ding finally ended this torturous period. Otherwise, he would have been teammates with Jesus, Sterling and others for a few more years. , De Bruyne is afraid he will be pissed to death.
In fact, during the summer window, Manchester City sent scouts to inspect Liverpool's golden boy Sterling, but later gave up the idea of introducing him.
There were two main reasons for giving up: Liverpool's offer was too high, and the Red Army demanded a transfer fee of 50 million pounds.
Manchester City felt that Sterling was not worth the price and bargained the price to 30 million, but Liverpool disagreed.
The second reason is that Manchester City bought Son Heung-min, and with Aguero and Lin Quan on the front line, there is not a shortage of people for the time being. Therefore, when the price could not be negotiated, they did not forcefully recruit people, which made The transfer eventually fell through.
Judging from Sterling's performance in Liverpool this season, fortunately Manchester City did not spend the money, otherwise they would have lost money.
The Premier League has played 16 rounds this season. Sterling has only scored 3 goals in total, averaging less than 0.2 goals per game. His scoring efficiency is really too low.
Although he is still very young, only 21 years old, his efficiency is not even as good as that of Manchester City's substitute forward Iheanacho.
Iheanacho has played a total of 13 games for Manchester City in all competitions this season, scoring 5 goals and 2 assists.
Considering that Iheanacho's appearances and playing time are far less than Sterling's, his efficiency is obviously much higher than that of his opponent.
It is for this reason that many teams have recently become interested in Manchester City's substitute forward and want to take him away during the winter break.
The outside world estimates Iheanacho's worth at about 20 million pounds. Considering that he is less than 20 years old, this worth is definitely very high.
Iheanacho was sitting on the bench at this time. After seeing Aguero score, he jumped up excitedly with his teammates.
After the celebration, Iheanacho prayed in his heart:
Enter one more, Boss Lin, Boss Akun, only if you two join forces to kill the suspense of the game, will we substitute players have a chance to play!
After Guardiola saw Aguero's goal, he applauded and smiled with satisfaction.
Although the score is still only 1:1, he already has an intuition in his heart: This game is safe!
Sure enough, after being equalized by Manchester City, Arsenal seemed to be brought back to its original shape, and there were differences in their internal thinking.
Some players felt that they should take the initiative and score another goal like they did in the first half.
Some players feel that Manchester City is so powerful now that they should stabilize themselves first and wait for Manchester City's momentum to subside before waiting for opportunities to attack.
The situation on the court was unfavorable, and the team's thinking was not unified. Arsenal's formation was out of touch, and there were big loopholes on both ends of the offense and defense.
Exposing such loopholes in front of a top team like Manchester City will be punished.
In the two minutes from the 71st to the 73rd minute, Manchester City completed two quick counterattacks after stealing in the frontcourt, with Lin Quan and Son Heung-min scoring a goal each.
In the blink of an eye, the score became 1:3. Arsenal was leading ten minutes ago, but now they are two goals behind.
All the Arsenal fans who came to the stadium were dumbfounded. Some people were holding their heads in disbelief, and their heads were filled with questions:
What happened to our team?
Why do you feel so uncontrollable?
We have already fallen before the other party exerted any force?
"Damn, you shouldn't trust Arsenal!"
"Alas, it is unrealistic to rely on Arsenal to stop Manchester City!"
On the Internet, some fans who had pinned their hopes on Arsenal to stop Manchester City saw Arsenal's rapid collapse in the second half, and they started to curse in anger.
Many of these people are not Arsenal fans, some are Manchester United fans, some are Liverpool and Chelsea fans.
The reason why I support Arsenal between Manchester City and Arsenal is simply because I don’t want to see Manchester City win!
So once Arsenal's performance is not as good as they expected, they will not be merciful at all when they scold them.
"That's right, this is the gunman I'm familiar with!"
"Haha, with the Gunners' lineup, there is no way they can be our opponent at Blue Moon. I wonder what those people are expecting?"
"Akun performed well in this game. He had a chance to shoot just now, but he passed the ball to Lin Quan. It was really a team effort!"
"Yeah, seeing Akun's recovery makes me happier than winning the game!"
"Haha, you are all praising Akun and Linhuang. Let me praise the newcomer. Son Heung-min's performance in this game was also very good. He not only scored a goal, but also performed well in several counterattacks on the wing. It is a threat and effectively restrains the opponent's defensive forces!"
"Yes, this guy's foot skills are not as good as those of Lin Huang and A Kun, but they are adequate and very practical. His shooting skills in front of the goal are also excellent and his scoring efficiency is very high!"
"I did the math and found that he has scored 9 goals in various competitions since joining, averaging 0.65 goals per game. His efficiency is a bit scary!"
Some Manchester City fans calculated Son Heung-min's scoring efficiency in various competitions since joining the team, and the results elicited an outcry.
"Tsk, tsk, this goal efficiency, the price of 30 million euros is so worth it!"
"As expected of Guardiola, he always finds treasures!"
"It is said that this person was snatched from Tottenham. Seeing Son Heung-min's performance so well, the Tottenham man should be crying in the toilet now, right?"
On Tottenham's side, their chairman Levy was indeed very angry at this time.
After Son Heung-min joined Manchester City, he has been paying attention to the opponent's performance.
Although he was once very optimistic about Son Heung-min and wanted to introduce him, since Son Heung-min joined Manchester City, he has only one thought in his mind:
I hope that Son Heung-min will not be able to play or score goals in Manchester City, and his value will plummet, and no one will want him.
In this case, Manchester City will lose 30 million transfer fees and a large amount of wages in vain!
However, things turned out to be exactly the opposite of what he expected.
After Son Heung-min joined Manchester City, although he did not win a starting position, he came on as a substitute many times and performed well in the limited starting games.
What's even more frightening is that after continuous observation and tracking, Levy keenly discovered that this kid has increased his goals after joining Manchester City.
His dribbling and breakthrough abilities have improved significantly compared to his previous days in the Bundesliga!
This shows that he is not in his strongest state yet. He is still improving and growing, and he will become even stronger in the future!
When he thought of this result, Levi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!
I can only curse in my heart: Damn Manchester City!
…
"Damn Manchester City!"
"Why don't you want to die obediently?"
Like Levy who hates Manchester City, there are also Arsenal fans.
In various bars in North London, when they saw Manchester City chopping up melons and vegetables, they scored three goals in a row in ten minutes, directly beating Arsenal silly. Every Arsenal fan was yelling and swearing.
Without the hope brought by the goal in the first half, their current reaction would not be so great!
They have obviously seen the dawn of victory, but in the end victory is still so far away from them!
What exactly can Arsenal do to beat Manchester City?
Wenger was also thinking about this issue. The previous victories made him think that his team was on the right track.
But after today's game, Wenger clearly realized that there is still a gap between Arsenal and the top teams, and the gap is still huge.
Being reversed once is an accident, but if it is reversed continuously, it is not an accident!
Arsenal currently lack the ability to turn their advantage into a victory. A one-goal and two-goal lead does not guarantee them victory.
It seems that he did not buy players during the summer window, which is indeed a big mistake.
Thinking of this, Wenger began to regret it again.
He thought of another world-class striker he missed - Suarez.
After moving to Barcelona, Suarez's performance was obvious to everyone.
In the forward position, he can definitely be ranked among the top five in today's football and is one of the top forwards.
But such a player was missed by Arsenal.
When Suarez was banned by the FA for biting someone during the game, his value dropped a lot.
Arsenal was already negotiating with Liverpool and even discussed it with the player himself at one point.
However, in order to keep the price down, after learning about Liverpool's psychological price, they quoted a price of 40 million and one pounds, which made Liverpool feel humiliated and sent him to Barcelona in anger.
Although the price of 40 million pounds is not cheap, the transfer prices of Ozil and Sanchez purchased by Arsenal in recent years are around 40 million pounds, which is not much more expensive than Suarez.
If he had been so careful and a little more generous, the transfer might have been successful.
By then, the arsenal with top midfield and frontcourt lineups such as Ozil, Sanchez and Suarez will definitely be much stronger than they are now!
Pity!
After taking a big lead, Arsenal saw no fighting spirit and could hardly pose a threat to Manchester City.
Guardiola waved his hand and asked several substitute players to go out to warm up.
Iheanacho is on the warm-up list!
A few minutes later, Manchester City made another personnel adjustment. Iheanacho came on to replace Aguero, who performed well in this game.
Although Aguero's injury has recovered, Guardiola still dare not take too many risks. Since there is no suspense in the game, let him rest to avoid any accidents.
After Aguero saw the substitution card on the sidelines, he quickly ran down, high-fived Iheanacho who came on the bench, walked to Guardiola, and actively hugged Guardiola.
Some players will feel very unhappy when they are substituted, and even get angry with the coach because of it.
But Aguero will not do this, because he knows that Guardiola really does it for his own good.
"Good job, Akun, go and rest!"
Guardiola originally planned to give the other party a high-five, but unexpectedly the other party took the initiative to give him a hug, so he hugged the other party and patted Aguero on the back.
A few minutes later, Guardiola made another personnel adjustment. He replaced Nasri and Lin Quan.
When Lin Quan left the field, he also gave Guardiola a warm hug and rubbed his hands on him a few times.
After Lin Quan left, Guardiola looked down at his coat and was shocked to find that it was covered with a lot of sweat, dirt and grass clippings.
Good boy, your feelings are treating me like a rag!
He turned around and glared at Lin Quan, only to see Lin Quan chatting with Aguero with an innocent look on his face, as if he had no idea what was going on.
The on-site cameras captured this scene and projected it on the big screen at the site.
After seeing this scene, the fans at the scene laughed out loud.
"Haha, the relationship between Lin and Guardiola is really good!"
Martin Taylor couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene.
"That's not true. We are father and son. How can we have a bad relationship if father and son go into battle?"
Andy Gray on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes, feeling that his partner had said nonsense.
Guardiola is so fond of Messi, who is not related to him, let alone his own son?
After Lin Quan and Aguero both retired, Manchester City's offensive power dropped a lot.
However, Arsenal had become a frightened bird at this time and did not take advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
On the contrary, it was Manchester City that was still besieging the Gunners' goal at the last moment.
Iheanacho's performance was very active at the last moment, and a pass in front of the goal even caused the commentator to exclaim.
It's a pity that this guy's shooting skills are a little lacking. The shot was too straight and was easily resolved by Cech.
In the end, after a fierce battle, Manchester City reversed and defeated their opponent 3:1 at Arsenal's home court.
However, in another game, Leicester City defeated Everton 3:2 with difficulty, so that the point difference between the two sides remained at 6 points and was not widened.
It seems that the two teams are going to duke it out in the last direct showdown of the first half of the season!
