My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 79 Competing for the championship requires resilience! 【Second update】

"Foul! This must be a foul!"

When the Manchester City team doctor ran into the stadium.

The commentator on Manchester City Radio was shouting, and his words aroused the unanimous approval of all Manchester City fans.

That’s what fans are like anyway.

Anything that is good for you is a good penalty, and anything that is bad for you is a black whistle.

Although the TV broadcast is now replaying the entire process of the goal.

Nastasic and Li Mo took off almost at the same time.

It's really a foul.

Nastasic was more like the fouling party.

Because Li Mo didn't make any hand movements, and Nastasic's arm, which was jumping from behind, was resting on Li Mo's shoulders.

If you really stick to the rules, it would be reasonable to call Nastasic a foul this time.

Many players will have hand movements.

However, as long as it is not too excessive, it is rare for the referee to call the ball as soon as he sees any action on his hands - especially in the penalty area.

If there is any hand movement, blow it.

In one game, there may be more than a dozen penalty kicks.

therefore.

This time the collision between the two was not considered a foul at all.

Li Mo's goal was a good goal.

Mancini on the sidelines was very excited.

He raised his arms high and roared to the court: "Foul! Offensive foul! Collision foul! Look what we did to our man! This is a foul!"

Wenger on the other side obviously disagrees with this.

"Foul? Was it your player's foul? He hit him from behind!"

Seeing that the two head coaches were about to clash on the sidelines.

The fourth official appeared in time to separate the two men.

Mancini's temples were pounding.

He did not continue to complain about the referee's decision.

Because his team is in some trouble now.

The score was evened, still at the opponent's home court.

If the opponent overturns the situation even though there is one more player, it will be a lot of fun.

Wenger also frowned.

Although Li Mo scored in this game.

But it cannot be said that Arsenal has any advantage.

They are still at a strategic disadvantage.

The disadvantage of playing with one less player will increase as the game goes on.

How to play next is also a headache-worthy question.

It stands to reason.

The team equalized the score and was full of momentum. It was time to work hard to take the lead.

But in this way, the team faces the risk of being counterattacked by the opponent.

After all, there is one less person on my side.

Manchester City's team doctor made a substitution gesture to the audience.

Mancini looked angry when he saw this gesture.

This was a completely unplanned substitution.

and

If you want to change, you can only change to a full-back now.

The intensive schedule of the Premier League is fair to any team.

Arsenal is troubled by injuries, so why not Manchester City?

Both center backs Kompany and Kolo Toure were injured.

Now Nastasic is injured again.

Manchester City no longer has a genuine central defender.

The full-backs can only be used to fill the center-back position.

Mancini immediately asked veteran Maicon to warm up and prepare to play.

Maicon goes to play at right back.

Then let the original right back Zabaleta receive the middle and play as a central defender.

This is also a rather helpless change.

And on the field.

Nastasic, who was on a stretcher, saw the team doctor's gesture and planned to do something.

"You need to rest now."

the team doctor said.

"I'm fine, sir" Nastasic was about to defend himself, but he soon felt dizzy.

The team doctor shook his head helplessly.

Forget about nosebleeds.

I'm worried about a concussion.

The brain is the most important organ, so this cannot be taken lightly.

Nastasic was still taken off the field on a stretcher.

The Serbians were very disappointed.

After arriving at Manchester City this season, he quickly won the position competition and became Manchester City's main central defender.

But the result is in this game

He was actually attacked by Li Mo, who was called an "opportunist".

Defeated head-on

Maicon stood on the sidelines preparing to play.

The commentators also analyzed the next form.

"No one expected that Li Mo would have such a huge aerial advantage. Nastasic's ability to fight in the air is very strong. If even he is defeated, Sabale, who will take the center back position, will Can the tower restrain Li Mo? "

"Arsenal's style of play is very simple, but it has achieved unexpected results."

While the narrators are talking.

Manchester City's players also looked a little solemn.

They originally thought that if they had one more player, they would be able to take advantage of Arsenal at will.

But the result.

Li Mo actually killed Nastasic.

Lescott frowned.

Nastasic was taken off the field, and it was his turn next.

Lescott and Zabaleta communicated their positions: "I'll guard him, please pay attention to help defend!"

Zabaleta nodded.

He is not afraid of Arsenal kicking on the ground.

But if Arsenal insists on looking for Li Mo from the air.

He really couldn't resist it. Although Zabaleta was very strong and powerful, he was only 176 centimeters tall and was at a huge disadvantage in the air.

Other Manchester City players also began to have some concerns about their defense.

This caused their offensive performance to decline.

Even because of Li Mo's goal, the Manchester City players' confidence in themselves was somewhat shaken.

Lescott soon felt the pressure from his former partner Nastasic.

After Li Mo tasted the sweetness of air superiority.

He has been interspersing and receiving air balls from teammates.

Arsenal, who had one less player to play, were also happy to play like this, because it could directly cross the midfield and burn the flames of war into the dangerous area of ​​Manchester City's defense.

Manchester City's defense was also facing Li Mo's danger, and they did defend Li Mo in the next game - this was indeed the case in terms of results.

Because Li Mo did not score in the next game.

But because their attention was attracted by Li Mo, they ignored other Arsenal players.

The 78th minute of the game.

The football came from the backcourt. Li Mo jumped high and failed to hit the ball.

But the ball was pushed to the top of the penalty area by Zabaleta who was behind him in a panic.

Faced with such a "cannon", Cazorla took a long shot with his left foot with almost no adjustment.

The football rushed towards the goal against the turf.

In the process, it also hit the left back Klich's foot and was refracted. As a result, Joe Hart, who had already saved it, had no choice but to watch the football go into the goal from his other side.

This goal was not scored by Li Mo, and it cannot even be counted as his assist.

But it must be said that Arsenal can complete the overtake with one less player.

Li Mo takes the greatest credit.

As a center forward.

His role is not just as simple as scoring goals.

He can also contain the opponent's defense and create space for his teammates.

When Manchester City's defenders were restrained by Li Mo.

Cazorla will get such an opportunity.

His long-range shot completely lit up the Emirates Stadium.

"Cazorla! Beautiful! Two to one!! Arsenal overtakes the score!! Arsenal leads Manchester City two to one! They have taken the lead in this focus battle!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

"Arsenal still completed the reversal even with one player less! If they win this game, they will overtake Manchester City by two points and rank second in the standings!!!"

"Arsenal suffered a cruel penalty from the red dot package in this game, but they completed a wonderful reversal! Such a game is a huge boost to Arsenal's confidence! A team that aims to compete for the championship, A game like this needs to be done!”

"Facing a direct competitor and completing a comeback with one less player, we usually say this is the appearance of a champion!"

The commentators chanted for Arsenal.

The Emirates Stadium was abuzz.

In front of the TV, Arsenal fans cheered.

Pub in North London.

Arsenal fans raised their glasses and shouted long live.

They know very well how such a game can boost the team.

A game like this is an experience for the team!

We can win such a game.

So

What game can we not win?

The last ten minutes of the game belonged to Manchester City.

They occupied almost all the time of possession.

Continuously launching attacks like crazy.

Arsenal, who were full of confidence, were united and participated in the defense.

Li Mo was not substituted.

Because he is the team's strategic nuclear weapon.

He just needs to stand on the court.

Neither Lescott nor Zabaleta dared to press forward and participate in the attack.

Even Manchester City's two full-backs will have some scruples when attacking.

Although he was not directly involved in defense on the court.

But his contribution to defense is still quite large.

The 88th minute of the game.

Li Mo also showed off his basic skills.

He received the ball from the backcourt, stopped the ball with his chest and carried it forward along the wing.

Facing Clichy's defense, he made a fake move to cut inside, then dunked his right foot and continued forward along the sideline. He waited for Clichy to pounce and stopped suddenly.

Chrissy was so anxious that he didn't take his hand back, but pushed directly towards Li Mo.

Li Mo fell to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Foul by Clichy.

At this time, the cheers from the audience became even louder.

Everyone was applauding Li Mo's performance.

The commentators also praised Li Mo for his maturity at this moment.

Just on this side road.

Li Mo helped Arsenal control the ball for more than two minutes.

Wait for the ball to return to Manchester City.

There are only the last four minutes of the game left - four minutes of injury time for this game!

The last four minutes were torture for fans of both sides.

But all this ended with the referee's three whistles, two short and one long.

boom!

The first time the referee's whistle sounded.

The entire Emirates Stadium erupted with unprecedented volume.

"The game is over! The game is over! Arsenal beat Manchester City 2-1!"

"Arsenal created a miracle, they completed the reversal with one less player!"

"Arsenal has seized the second position in the standings! This may be a turning point in the fate of both parties!"

The camera was firmly focused on Li Mo.

Li Mo struggled so hard in this game that he got cramps - he was lying on the grass and Walcott was pressing his legs.

After the game actually.

Arsenal's players were mostly not celebrating.

Instead, he collapsed on the ground and breathed in the air greedily.

One less player means they have to pay more for running.

After ninety minutes, almost everyone was so tired that they didn’t even want to talk.

After the game.

This scene has also become the photo chosen by many media when reporting on this game.

"Arsenal has rediscovered their purpose!"

"This is a team that is more united than ever."

"With one less player to complete the comeback, this Arsenal team is full of resilience!"

All the media are praising Arsenal's resilience.

If we say before this, people still had some doubts about whether Arsenal could really compete with Manchester United and Manchester City for the championship this season.

But after this game.

Everyone was surprised by Arsenal's performance.

Especially the resilience shown by Arsenal in this game made people start to take this team seriously.

"From this moment on, Manchester United's biggest competitor this season will be Arsenal!"

"Sky Sports News" wrote so in the post-match report.

"Arsenal's performance against strong teams this season is amazing! They can be called the killer of strong teams this season! They are now five points behind Manchester United, but if they can defeat their opponents in a head-to-head dialogue with Manchester United, That’s only two points behind!”

"Based on Arsenal's performance against strong teams this season, it is possible for them to do this!"

Arsenal's victory over Manchester City made people look forward to a head-on dialogue between Arsenal and Manchester United.

But this game is in the 36th round of the league, so it’s still early.

Who knows what the state of both parties will be like at that time?

However, the test Arsenal faces now is not small.

Because their opponent in the next round of the league is Chelsea!

Of course.

before this.

They still have an FA Cup game to play - Arsenal are going to face Swansea away from home.

Considering that in the 21st round of the league, Arsenal will consume too much against Manchester City. This game comes back from the away game and will soon face a strong enemy at home.

Therefore, Arsenal almost made the largest rotation in this game.

In this game against Swansea, almost all the main players were rotated - except goalkeeper Szczesny.

in this case.

Arsenal defeated Swansea 1-0 in an away game - this is not to say that Arsenal's substitute lineup and several reserve team players are also very good, it is purely because Swansea is under too much pressure to avoid relegation, coupled with Swansea's Swansea's side pays more attention to the League Cup, because they have reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, so Swansea's side has also made a large rotation.

In a game of pecking between rookies.

Arsenal had the last laugh.

The 83rd minute of the game.

Chamberlain broke the deadlock with a long shot inside.

With this goal.

Arsenal defeated Swansea 1-0.

They advanced to the last sixteen of the FA Cup.

After the game, Wenger was not very excited.

He was actually prepared to be eliminated from the FA Cup.

Anyway, this season, Arsenal's main goal is still in the league!

Concentrate all your energy and strive to achieve a breakthrough in the league.

This game comes just three days later.

Arsenal's game against Chelsea comes one after another.
