Super Marshal

"Arsenal's clearance did not fly far, the ball is still at the feet of Manchester City."

"Passing to the right, Sturridge didn't have the opportunity to pass back."

"Modric takes the ball, takes it to the center, and passes it to the frontcourt."

"Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly appeared in the middle, and there was no one defending him."

"Oh my god, stop the ball, turn around and rush forward, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbles the ball to the penalty area and suddenly kicks the goal..."

"The ball is in!!!"

"Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo scored the second goal of the game."

"This is also his sixth goal this season. He scored six goals in five games. Cristiano Ronaldo is in a very hot state, and he himself looks very excited."

"Let's see a slow-motion replay of this goal."

"Modric dribbled the ball on the right side and cut in. Arsenal did not have a player to get close for the first time, and Modric's pass was very beautiful."

"We saw Benzema suddenly ran to the left, while Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area. The two formed a very interesting shift and at the same time opened Arsenal's Defensive player."

"It was this short one-second gap that allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to get the chance to catch the ball at the front of the penalty area. Then he turned around and took the ball in. Clichy, Gallas and Alexander Songdu who returned to the defense He swooped in for the first time, but couldn't stop the Portuguese from kicking the door."

"Almunia failed to stop this time. The ball hit the goal and bounced back. The Spanish goalkeeper was unable to stop it. He could only watch the ball go into the net."

"The first half is drawing to a close, and Manchester City has another victory, three to zero."

"Oh my God, Arsenal was almost defeated in the last twenty minutes of the first half."

"Man City played the most exciting forty-five minutes of the game this season, allowing us to see the high cold that everyone is looking forward to, and the offensive team he is coaching."

...

...

The entire city stadium was as excited as an ocean, and countless fans were crazy to celebrate the team's successive goals.

The start of the game was not smooth, and even a bit passive, but the team quickly showed their strength, and in turn suppressed Manchester City, firmly controlling the situation on the field.

The successive goals made the Manchester City fans on the scene so fascinated, all of them were inexplicably excited.

They all chanted his name when they saw Cristiano Ronaldo’s superstar rushing to the sidelines to celebrate, and when they saw the players celebrating, they walked up to the coach’s bench and gave the coach a high-five. To celebrate, when Cristiano Ronaldo embraced Alpine tightly, the audience shouted the name of the head coach.

The sound of the high cold swept the entire city stadium like a tide.

This scene made Mansour, chairman of the Abu Dhabi Consortium, who sat in the stands and rushed to London from the Middle East specifically to watch the game, feel extremely excited, because he has been waiting for this scene to appear.

He hopes that all Manchester City fans can continue to love his team as before.

But such a situation has never been seen in the last season.

"He is really an incredible person." Mansour admired.

Although it was only twenty minutes, the football played by Manchester City was extremely exciting.

They firmly control the ball, firmly suppressed Arsenal, and forced this traditional Premier League giant to play in the half, leaving the Gunners with no ability to even parry, let alone the Premier League, even in Europe. How many teams can do it?

What's more, it didn't take long for Gao Han's team to be reorganized, and the head coach Gao Han was able to form a fighting force so quickly. This also made Mansour more convinced of his original choice.

Sitting next to Mansour, General Manager Paul Footley is undoubtedly the happiest.

He is very clear about his position in Manchester City, and even he understands why he can be so high hopes for Mansour.

The better Gao Han did at Manchester City, the more unbreakable his position as general manager.

"Mr. Mansour, as far as I know, Alpine's team is far from adjusting to its best condition."

"Oh?" Mansour was full of surprise.

"Kaka's injury seriously disrupted Gao Han's plan. Originally, I told him that the management could support him in introducing a suitable substitute." Paul Futrey said with a smile.

Mansour nodded. If Gao Han felt it was necessary, he could do so.

"But Gao Han told me that he has spent more than 400 million euros. He has coached many teams in European football. In these years, he has never spent so much money like this summer. He feels a little soft. "

After Paul Footley finished speaking, he laughed.

Mansour and Mubarak couldn't help being amused.

This is indeed the original words of Gao Han, and it is also true, when he was joking with Paul Footley.

But it’s not surprising that when you think about it, Alpine has always been known for being good at digging and cultivating young players. He spent a lot of money to reorganize Chelsea, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, but at most he invested about 100 million yuan, but this It cost more than 400 million in one breath to introduce several superstar players.

Not to mention the high cold, when Paul Footley signed the contract, the hand holding the pen was a little trembling.

"Because he knows that he has spent so much money and needs to give results, so he dare not mention signings. He hopes to optimize from the team's existing lineup, so there is this set of lineup we see now. If it is the most ideal lineup in his mind, it should be a three-four-three formation with a diamond midfield position."

"Is there any difference?" Mansour asked with interest.

"The three-four-three formation was the main formation of the Dutch team that was fully defended during Michels and Cruyff. The three front, center and back lines are very close. It can be said that they are integrated with each other through the rotation of the players. Running and cross transposition to achieve the offensive and defensive integration, and then play a huge lethality on both sides of the offense and defense."

"Is that the strongest formation?" Mansour asked excitedly.

Paul Footre shook his head, "There is no such thing as a strong formation or a perfect formation, but since Cruyff achieved it once in Barcelona in the early 1990s, there has been no European football in the past ten years. Other teams can regain control of this formation, and Rijkaard also failed in Barcelona before."

After listening to it, Mansour felt unclear.

"When Kaka comes back, I believe you will see a stronger and better Manchester City team than it is now."

Paul Futre's words made Mansour nodded.

"Well, from now on, I will definitely watch every Manchester City home game."

...

...

The first half ended with Manchester City temporarily leading three to zero.

Arsenal's players seemed a bit relieved. The referee's whistle saved them. Otherwise, with their performance in the last ten minutes, Manchester City could score another goal anytime, anywhere.

The situation on the field, the rhythm of the game and the possession of the ball are all controlled by Manchester City, and they are simply unable to resist.

But the intermission is their best breathing opportunity.

During the intermission, Gao Han highly praised the outstanding performance of the players in the last period of time. He hoped that everyone can continue to encourage and maintain the rhythm and game style of the first half. At the same time, he also reminded the players that Arsenal will definitely do something. Adjustment.

"We didn't connect well enough on the offensive end."

"Javier." Gao Han pointed to Mascherano, "In the second half, you have to pay attention, press forward more aggressively, don't worry about behind, you have to remember that behind you, there is Harvey Alonso, and Your other teammates, they will protect you."

Mascherano nodded as a teacher. These words were arranged before the game, but in the game, he still couldn't let go, especially his instinct as a defensive player made him a little cautious about forward attack.

"Also, Benzema, I need you to retreat more, or pull to the side, and pull the two central defenders away as much as possible. If they don't go, then you will attack after receiving the ball. Understand?"

In contrast to Alpine's only tactical adjustments during the intermission, Arsenal's coach Wenger made a substitution during the intermission, replacing Denilson with Rosicky, and Arsenal's formation also changed in the second half. Four three three formation.

The strength of the three midfielders composed of Alexander Song, Fabregas and Diaby is also impressive.

This made Gao Han see him, shook his head and sighed, "It's not easy to play in the second half."

Sure enough, after changing sides in the second half, Arsenal began to consciously grasp the defense of the midfield, using three midfielders to exert pressure on Manchester City, while the trident in the front field was actively pressing Manchester City's three-back. Rosicky and Van Persie separated. Two wings.

Facts have proved that Arsenal is indeed more adapted to the four-three-three formation, at least the current set of staffing. Com was obviously more comfortable playing 4, 3, 3, which allowed them to compete with Manchester City evenly in the second half, washing out the first half of the decline.

When the game lasted sixty-three minutes, Fabregas seized a chance to counterattack in the middle, and made a diagonal pass from the middle to send the ball to the left of the goal. Rosicki intervened and scored with a calm low shot in the small penalty area. Regained a goal for Arsenal.

This goal ignited the gunner's anger, especially as the game progressed, many Manchester City players participated in the two national team games in September. After running back and forth, their physical fitness was a little poor, which made the gunner start to regain the situation. .

Gao Han also made adjustments decisively, through substitutions to maintain the situation on the court, and adopted a more pragmatic game strategy.

Until the 78th minute, Arsenal attacked the hinterland of Manchester City once. After Harvey Martinez stole the ball, he launched a counterattack on the spot and sent the ball to the back of the Manchester City defense with a long pass.

Benzema hit the middle at high speed, took the ball and rushed for nearly 30 meters with the ball. After leaving Vermaelen, he crossed the back point. Sturridge quickly followed and faced the attacking goalkeeper Almunia. Calmly pick the ball to the entrance, four to one.

This goal hit Arsenal very hard, especially since it made them soberly aware that Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City of last season.

Today's Blue Moon not only has the world's number one head coach Gao Han, but also a group of outstanding European and even the world's top superstars. Now, they have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the Premier League and even European football.

They are no longer the soft persimmons that people used to knead.

Today, Manchester City knows that they have the ability to sieve Arsenal's defense and suppress the Gunners in the half-court.

And this game is their most powerful proof!
