Strong Waist

The heavy rain continued until the next day.

The gloomy weather and dark clouds rolling in the sky also make the sky in Manchester feel depressing.

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

Along the way, Arsenal's players didn't communicate much.

As we got closer to the court, the atmosphere was already starting to heat up.

Even though it was still raining in the sky, it could not stop the enthusiasm of Manchester City fans.

There were even some reporters who continued to report while staring at the rain.

"This is the reporter from the front of Sky Sports. The Arsenal bus passed here a minute ago. They will arrive at the Intihad Stadium in three minutes."

"For Manchester City, which has completed 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 Arsenal's current ups and downs. It’s uncertain, but we can still look forward to how the two teams will perform in this game!”

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

Lucky and others quickly ran into the venue despite the rain.

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

They put their usual short-nailed boots into the cabinet, took out their long-nailed boots and put them on their feet.

In this rainy environment, long spike boots are more conducive to gripping the ground.

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

The rain was cold. Even though the venue was bustling and the weather wasn't 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 injured, please train more seriously."

Lucky ordered his teammates.

Nowadays, Lucky seems to play more of a nanny role than the captain.

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.

Of course Lucky can go too far, 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 very orderly and no one is slacking off.

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

He was deeply impressed by the Arsenal side that knocked them out of the Champions League semi-finals.

Arsenal last season gave Guardiola a sense of unstoppability.

Regardless of player status and morale, team atmosphere, competitive status, etc., they surpassed Bayern Munich at the time.

Arsenal made adequate preparations to win the game, and they successfully won the game and advanced to the final, even winning the Champions League.

Guardiola admitted that Arsenal last season was difficult to beat, but after the start of this season, Arsenal fell into championship syndrome and a series of troubles. Although it has gradually stabilized, it wants to return to last season. The situation 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 completed six consecutive victories, they were full of momentum.

But there was an air of invincibility and resilience about that Arsenal team.

Although the newly formed Manchester City is very good, it still cannot shake Arsenal's status.

But it’s different now!

Arsenal's situation is far more complicated than it appears.

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 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 players.

Among them, Mustafi still didn't get a chance to start. He was really suppressed by Mertesacker.

"This is LeTV Sports. The upcoming game is the 2015/2016 season Manchester City home game against the new Champions League champion Arsenal!"

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

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

Zhang Lu: "In the beginning, Wenger's departure had a great impact on Arsenal. This impact was not only on the technical and tactical aspects, but also on the psychological level. This also led to Arsenal's miserable start until the fourth game. We just won one victory, and of course we were proud of the game against Liverpool, but more importantly, we were thinking about Lucky’s explosive performance.”

"It's best to limit this kind of outburst of individual players. It's nothing more than to mobilize more manpower to suppress it!"

"Watford did this in the European Super Cup and the last round, and the effect was extremely significant!"

Zhan Jun: "So, will Guardiola also restrict Lucky in this game?"

Both teams return to the field.

Lucky wants to look at the opposite Manchester City lineup.

No personnel is passive, so Guardiola believes that with this lineup, he can achieve an equalizer or even a comeback.

At this time, David Silva also turned to look at Lucky.

The two looked at each other and quickly looked away.

Lucky's heart was full of solemnity.

In the first half, Arsenal took advantage of Manchester City's anxious mentality and caught them off guard.

Two consecutive goals did give them a certain lead.

But there is no guarantee that Arsenal will win.

Manchester City has never been an easy team to beat.

Moreover, David Silva is also an excellent midfielder, so Lucky must be vigilant.

While observing, David Silva was filled with emotion.

The first time he heard the name Lucky was in Arsenal's revenge game against Manchester United three years ago.

At that time, Lucky became the focus of London and even the whole of England with his outstanding performance.

But no one thought that this young man would take over the captain's armband of Arsenal at a young age and become the first Arsenal captain to win the Champions League.

In the past four years, Lucky has grown so fast.

David Silva has to admit that Lucky is no longer the fledgling little guy he was. This guy has grown up enough to threaten them and Manchester City.

This threat does not come from the whole, but the threat in single player combat.

...

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.

Manchester City took the lead.

After the kick-off, Manchester City quickly passed the ball backwards and prepared for the impact.

But what surprised them was that Arsenal actually stood still and started to set up defenses in the backcourt.

David Silva opened his mouth slightly, full of disbelief.

Arsenal was actually defending, a defense in the true sense, commonly known as setting up a bus!

Not only the Manchester City players, but also the fans at the scene were shocked.

Arsenal is setting up a bus?

Shameless?

They turned to look at the Arsenal dugout.

They saw Patrice standing on the sidelines with his arms folded, his chin slightly raised, and a look of pride on his face.

This guy has absolutely no sense of shame in running a bus?

Patrice could feel the atmosphere surging through the place.

Wengra is shameless, so he will not use this tactic.

But Patrese is not French, and he has no so-called grace.

As long as we can win, what's the point of running a bus?

In this regard, he actually prefers Mourinho.

As long as I get an advantage, I will defend myself to the death.

There are no absolute tactics, only suitable tactics.

Manchester City want to attack?

Then come and hit Arsenal’s bus lineup!

If you can dig through it, you are considered a bull!

"Press forward! Press forward!"

"Can't hold it down!"

"Pass back! There's too much pressure!"

"return!"

Manchester City players looked at Arsenal's penalty area angrily as they attacked again and again.

Arsenal fans gathered in the penalty area.

They look down on teams that put up buses, thinking that they are killing the artistry of football.

But for Arsenal, it is no longer the time for them to take into account the so-called artistry.

They want to win!

They want to stabilize the situation!

They want three points for victory!

Either way works.

Snapped! ! !

Sterling desperately wanted to get into the penalty area, but Lucky stood in front of him and refused to let him pass.

Sterling was a little furious.

But when he thought about the severe lesson he had received from Lucai throwing him over his shoulder, he didn't dare to have an attack.

You can only keep scanning the penalty area, looking for opportunities to move forward.
