Chapter 75 Are you too arrogant, or am I unable to carry the knife? (page 12)
Mancini sat on the coaching bench and looked at Xia Qi, filled with emotion.
His own tactics restrained Wenger, but everything was ruined by Xia Qi's improvisation.
Compared with half a year ago, Xia Qi has become stronger again.
If I had given Xia Qi a chance back then, maybe I would have given myself a chance.
No wonder the Orientals say: Give a rose and leave a lingering fragrance in your hand.
But this is a good thing for Xia Qi. Wenger is undoubtedly the best when it comes to cultivating young players.
...
...
On the court, Xia Qi still did not celebrate.
The game soon resumed.
Manchester City does not want to be left empty-handed this season and can only press forward after kick-off.
However, this time and that time.
1:0 and 2:0 are two completely different mentality.
Arsenal's midfield was strong and they played back and forth with Manchester City.
Manchester City's David Silva kicked off the ball. After several passes, the football reached Tevez's feet. Cazorla immediately made a tackle. This was a wonderful tackle to save the ball.
The football was passed to Wilshere. Wilshere moved forward, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, and then thrust a scalpel-like kick directly into the foot of Xia Qi on the right side of the penalty area.
In the stands, De Bruyne let out a soft "Ah".
Balotelli raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "It's pretty, isn't it? That's my second brother."
De Bruyne didn't care why his second brother was gone. What he cared about was Wilshere's passing point.
"No, if it were me, I would go to the far corner."
"There's no one there!"
"Isn't Walcott behind Lescott? He rushes over, receives the ball and pushes into the empty goal. You didn't see the gap, right?"
Seeing De Bruyne's contemptuous look, Balotelli swallowed back "I didn't see it" and said with a smile: "Of course, I'm not that big fool like Walcott."
Then he said solemnly:
"Kevin, I want to sleep with you."
De Bruyne sprayed the water in his mouth onto the front row.
After the two apologized to the front row, they returned to the previous topic.
"When you say sleep, you mean life, right?"
"What did you say?"
"Is it physiological!!?"
De Bruyne leaned towards Umtiti to keep himself away from Balotelli.
"Oh my god, which youth academy did you study at? Didn't your coach let you live and eat together when training your tacit understanding with the striker?"
De Bruyne felt relieved: [Brother, talking to you, my innocence is almost gone. ] But then I thought of the rumors about Balotelli and felt relieved.
Now, he just hopes that Xia Qi is normal, which is not too demanding.
on the field,
Facing the goalkeepers of Lescott and Kompany, Xia Qi used the outside instep of his left foot to create a "Quartz Arc", and the football accurately passed over Kompany's right shoulder and made a " C", flying towards the far corner of the goal.
Just when everyone thought Xia Qi was going to wear a hat at halftime, Joe Hart stood up and said: No!
He made an extreme save to the right and lifted the football out of the post!
"Ah...ah...ah..."
The fans in the stands screamed in surprise!
There are Manchester City fans who exclaimed because Xia Qi and Wu Inverse can create the Quartz arc with both feet.
There were also Arsenal fans who exclaimed for Joe Hart's magical save that turned the tide.
On the surface, Xia Qi walked back calmly and slowly, but in fact, Xia Qi in his mind was very angry.
If the sky is sentimental, the sky is also old. Who said that when Hartmon kicked him?
Come out, I promise I won’t beat you to death!
Arsenal's corner kick, Wilshere saw Xia Qi surrounded by three defenders, and the ball hit Podolski's head, but Barry overwhelmed Podolski and pushed the ball out of the baseline.
Wilshere took the second corner kick, and Cazorla grabbed the ball from behind and pushed the football over the crossbar.
Arsenal's two corner kicks were inconclusive, but their attack finally picked up.
There was back and forth between the two sides and the game reached a deadlock.
In the 42nd minute, Milner pulled Xia Qi's jersey, committed a tactical foul, and received the first yellow card.
In the 46th minute, in stoppage time, David Silva made a pass from the left. Dzeko caught the ball at the edge of the penalty area and turned around. He deftly got rid of Vermaelen and scored Martinez alone.
However, Martinez quickly abandoned the goal and kicked the football out of the penalty area with his feet.
This was Manchester City's best chance of the first half.
Vermaelen pulled Martinez up and gave him a hug.
Manchester City took a throw-in, Arteta intercepted Milner and destroyed the football. The referee on duty blew the whistle to end the first half.
halftime,
The coaches of both sides were busy making tactical adjustments, while the players took the time to rest.
Neither head coach made a half-time substitution, but Xia Qi found that he had two more bodyguards around him. Milner and Clichy "protected" him throughout the game.
Mancini's technical and tactical level is actually not as bad as the media makes him out to be.
After tactical guidance during the halftime break, Manchester City quickly cut off Arsenal's football after the start of the second half.
Using the penetration of Dzeko and David Silva in the middle to attract Arsenal's defensive strength, Barry made a long pass four or five meters in front of the center circle to the near corner of the goal. Tevez broke out from the crowd. Push shot to score.
2: 1!
Manchester City pulled a goal back,
The atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense.
Wenger saw Xia Qi being double-teamed and wanted to step forward to signal Xia Qi to retreat, but as soon as he walked to the sidelines, he saw Xia Qi coming back.
Wenger showed a pleased smile. He felt that Xia Qi had a high football intelligence.
But De Bruyne in the stands frowned, and he doubted whether he made the right decision to join Arsenal.
"Hey, be happy. As long as you can really pass that kind of ball, the boss won't be angry. Doesn't Xia Qi often violate combat disciplines?"
"Really?"
"Of course, remember to pass the ball to me first. You are my second brother."
"Isn't your second brother Wilshere?"
"That's express, you are my kiss."
grass! Mourinho is not good at judging people! Balotelli's head is actually world-class.
Penguin Live Room,
"Xia Qi's position is withdrawn, and his task is not only to attack. Wenger hopes that he can restrict David Silva and support Wilshere at the same time."
"Wilshere's body is too thin and he should add some weight this summer."
With one more player in the Arsenal midfield, Arsenal immediately became lively.
David Silva wants to bring Arsenal's high morale down again.
He took the initiative to defend Xia Qi, but Xia Qi didn't look at him at all, but looked behind him, waiting for the moment he pounced forward.
Xia Qi didn't make any extra moves and passed David Silva with just one rhythm difference.
Clean and tidy,
David Silva,
Not a splash, just a trace of waves.
"What does David Silva want to do?"
