Chapter 968: 38 Premier League rounds! The final battle!

  Chapter 968 Premier League 38 rounds! The final battle!

   "Not a back three!"

   After Arteta finished speaking, Mourinho took a long breath.

  Obviously, Manchester City's three-back can still put a certain amount of pressure on Arsenal.

   After all, in this critical game, any variable and tactical arrangement are extremely critical.

  Manchester City has a probability to come up with a three-back lineup.

  The three guards are put out to play midfield!

  Other teams are still the same, Manchester City's midfielder should not be underestimated.

  David Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Mahrez. These players can pass and bring.

  Once they get the ball upside down, the pressure on Arsenal will be great.

   Mourinho is afraid of Manchester City's three-back formation.

   And Guardiola is also afraid of Arsenal's midfield sweep combination.

   For this reason, both sides have tacitly put up a stable 4-3-3 stance, and in a stable situation, advance and seek victory.

  Guardiola did not take a slanted sword, which also shows from a certain perspective that Guardiola is not very confident.

   There are also certain reasons for injuries.

   After all, Manchester City's injury list is not short.

   Players such as Dzeko, Jesus, and Mahrez were all injured and unable to play, and Delph was even suspended by a red card.

  For this reason, Manchester City still decided to play it safe.

  The current formation has been set up, and neither side has come up with any so-called 'killer' or strange formation, which also means that the two sides will have a real fight.

  The cheers on the scene gradually rose, and the atmosphere began to reach a climax.

   Giroud took the ball from the referee and placed it in the middle circle, stepped on the ball and waited for the kick-off.

  The referee is Howard Weber, a famous whistler and chief referee of the Premier League.

   The referee Mourinho also has a deep memory.

In the 2007 English League Cup final, Mourinho, who was coaching Chelsea at the time, was suppressed by the home team. Due to a fight between Arsenal and Chelsea players, the referee jumped out three yellow cards in a row and was discouraged by the coaches of both sides. , This calmed down the farce.

  In the end, with these three yellow cards and the disruption of the rhythm, Chelsea regained the situation and won the English League Cup.

   And it was Howard Weber who conducted the arbitration at that time.

  At that time, Mourinho better faced the media and said that Howard Webber was his lucky charm.

  Of course, this is also a joke after the game, but at this time Mourinho really hopes that this lucky charm can bring them some luck.

  Howard Webb has a bald head. After making the final confirmation, he gestured towards the goalkeepers on both sides.

  The goalkeepers of both sides raise their hands to indicate that they are ready.

  The chief referee Howard Webb quit the center circle whistle!

   Beep! !

  The whistle sounded.

   Giroud kicks off quickly.

   At the same time, commentators around the world are also loudly announcing the start of the game.

  "The 38th round of the Premier League in the 2017/2018 season is also the final battle of the Premier League. In this game, Arsenal and Manchester City form a direct competition for the championship!"

"Currently Manchester City is two points ahead of Arsenal. If Arsenal want to win the Premier League title this season, then they have to beat Manchester City. On the other hand, Manchester City is more calm. Even if it is a draw, they can also ensure the championship. !"

   "For this reason, in this game, Arsenal shoulders more offensive pressure!"

  Arsenal has offensive pressure, but in terms of the scene, Arsenal does not ask for the ball.

  After the kick-off, Arsenal quickly launched a wave of offense.

  Mane from the wing quickly passed the ball down the bottom, and Giroud took off to compete for the top.

  But the ball was destroyed by Otamendi, and Arsenal lost the ball.

   But Arsenal didn't care too much.

  As long as the shot is completed at the beginning, they don't need possession of the ball in this game.

   "Come back! Keep an eye on them!"

   Lucky ran towards the left. After quickly approaching De Bruyne, his body center of gravity sank slowly, making a gesture of blocking the passing route.

  He also does block the passing lanes, and it's one of the best.

  But De Bruyne is a master who does not take an unusual path.

  He swung his right foot horizontally, and at the same time rubbed his left foot forward suddenly, trying to rub the ball to the neutral position in the middle with the outside instep.

  But as soon as the ball flew up, a leg suddenly appeared in front of him. The ball hit Lucy's calf and flew out of the sideline.

   De Bruyne frowned as he watched the ball fly out of the sideline.

   After the opening, the first pass is crucial, which can inspire the players' confidence.

   De Bruyne wants to use his passing ability to break through Lucky's defense to boost morale.

   But Lucky also wanted to use defensive methods to impose frustration on Manchester City.

   "Beautiful blocking, Captain!"

"came back!"

   "Captain, leave the left to you!"

  Arsenal players are constantly communicating.

   Their enthusiasm for the game is extremely high, and in the constant communication, they also quickly entered the game state.

  The whole person is in a relatively excited period.

  Manchester City tried to try to move forward with two feet, but they were all blocked by Arsenal.

   Haoxuan was intercepted by Kanter for the second time, but he was still an inch short and failed to reach the ball.

   Kanter was also discouraged, and immediately got up and continued to restrict.

  "Arsenal's defensive formation has been set up. Facing Arsenal's defense, which Real Madrid can't penetrate, what method does Manchester City want to use to open the situation?"

   "It's not a good way to play ground penetration with Arsenal!"

  Any team that wants to play ground penetration with Arsenal has to go through the tests of Lucky and Kanter.

   Even a team like Manchester City with strong pass control ability, they also dare not pass the ball wantonly in front of Arsenal.

  Relying on Arsenal's counterattack efficiency, once the opponent is allowed to seize the opportunity, they may be sieved immediately.

  So, Manchester City did not dare to attack too aggressively.

  They need to be patient to consume Arsenal's physical fitness and status.

   When the timing is right, use the method of rhythm change to launch an attack suddenly.

  Manchester City's idea is very good, but they still underestimated Arsenal's pressing ability.

  Although the midfield is rooted in the midfield area, Arsenal's forwards are still eyeing.

  Manchester City's inverted ball seems a bit leisurely. Compared with the previous pass, the rhythm and overall state are in a relaxed link.

  When everyone holds the ball, apart from observing, they almost stick to it for a while and pass it out.

   It seems to be killing time, but it is also seducing the Arsenal players to press up.

  They want Arsenal players to be tricked out of the half to widen Arsenal's half.

  Manchester City's intentions are obvious, and after observing for a while, Le Kai immediately said; "Xhaka goes up and presses down!"

  With Le Kai's order, Xhaka strode forward immediately.

  David Silva's eyes lit up when he saw Xhaka rushing towards him.

  He was about to pull the ball for a cross, when suddenly a teammate shouted: "Captain, be careful behind you!"

  David Silva reacted extremely quickly, pulled the ball sideways, and avoided Aubameyang's sneak attack from behind.

  Spin will pass the ball back to the full-back.

  However, David Silva still has lingering fears.

  He put too much attention on Xhaka, and didn't think about the threat from behind at all.

  If it wasn't for the size of his teammates, this would be bad.

  David Silva gave Sane a thumbs up, indicating that the other party reminded him well.

  But Sane's face was a little heavy.

  Because despite their attempts, they still couldn't get out of Arsenal's pass-and-run gap in the half.

  In other words, they clearly understand their intentions and are trying their best to block them.

  In Manchester City's half, Arsenal's three strikers began to scramble.

"Arsenal started to act. They strengthened the pressing force in the frontcourt. Giroud, Mane and Aubameyang are all very fast, and they charge very hard. This makes Manchester City's pass rhythm also passively speed up. !"

   "Obviously, Arsenal don't want Manchester City to play so leisurely, and Arsenal's midfielder is also pressing forward!"

  Andy Gray said solemnly; "Manchester City's midfielders are almost all posted, and Xhaka is even more free in the front, ready to intercept at any time."

  Arsenal slowly put the pressure on.

  They will never let Manchester City pour the ball comfortably. Arsenal knows very well that once Manchester City can pour the ball comfortably, then they will not be far from losing.

  So, it is necessary to apply appropriate pressure, not too aggressive and forward, but not too relaxed.
