"Do you want to be the king of football?"
"Yes!"
Su Dong embarks on a journey to become the king of football!
Chapter 945: Such a goal was scored, amazing!
Arsenal played really hard in this game!
After Sudon scored a goal, Manchester City immediately organized another wave of attack. Hazard made a wonderful pass to David Silva, and the Spaniard shot in the penalty area and almost penetrated the Gunners' goal again.
But even so, Arsenal still pressed forward.
From the 16th minute, the Gunners even once again deployed troops in the midfield and frontcourt to chase and intercept Manchester City.
It doesn’t matter that we are behind in ball possession, Arsenal players will use more running to suppress the opponent.
It's true, even a rotten boat still has three pounds of nails. The Gunners really gave it their all and fought Manchester City to the death, and they were able to launch a wave of high-level attacks, especially from the 18th minute, when Arsenal created opportunities one after another.
First, Gervinho's volley was saved by Courtois at the bottom line, then Ramsey's shot in front of the penalty area was caught by Courtois who fell to the ground. Then, the corner kick created by Walcott on the right was sent into the penalty area. Courtois decisively left the goal and snatched the ball from mid-air before his Belgian national team teammate Vermaelen.
Arsenal created threats three times in a row but failed to score.
This seems to be Arsenal's way of stating their stance that the Gunners are not a weak team that can be bullied at will.
Manchester City admires the Gunners' courage very much. After all, there are fewer and fewer teams these days that dare to attack and fight Manchester City to the death. It is very rare for the Gunners to do so. They are an opponent worthy of respect.
The best way to respect such an opponent is to do your best to kill him! So, after Manchester City blocked Arsenal's attack, they stabilized their position and immediately launched a counterattack.
…
Manchester City's counterattack was just like their game rhythm, passing the ball slowly and leisurely.
In the 32nd minute, Manchester City's midfielder intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to the frontcourt and moved to the left. Hazard broke through on the left and made a cross, trying to find Sudong in the penalty area. However, he failed to control the landing point and was grabbed by Mertesacker.
The ball was headed out of the penalty area, but was still under Manchester City's control.
Toni Kroos stopped the ball, got rid of his defender, dribbled to the left and passed it to David Silva.
David Silva stopped the ball with his back and knocked it back, and Busquets took two steps to the left.
At this time, Leighton Baines had also pressed forward, and it seemed that Manchester City's attack was going to be on the left.
Unexpectedly, Busquets suddenly dribbled the ball back and made a diagonal pass back to the right side of Toni Kroos, allowing the German midfielder to run over to receive the ball and pass it diagonally to the right side of the penalty area to Sanchez.
Sanchez stopped the ball, which scared Vermaelen so much that he immediately pounced on him, and the two of them were in a one-on-one situation.
The stands of the Etihad Stadium suddenly burst into cheers.
The Chilean winger dribbled the ball straight towards Vermaelen, trying to force his way through the Belgian defender, but Vermaelen was not a pushover and didn't buy it at all, blocking Sanchez.
The Chilean winger could only pass the ball back to Zabaleta who was coming from behind.
The Argentine right back stopped the ball, adjusted, and made a diagonal pass into the penalty area with his right foot, but he still couldn't grasp the landing point.
Mertesacker barely managed to get the ball but failed to clear it this time.
The ball was high but not far in the penalty area.
Su Dong cleverly blocked his position and used his body to block Arsenal's other central defender, Giroud. He turned his back to the direction of attack and kicked the ball gently behind him before Mertesacker and Alexander Song.
With this lob, the ball passed over the heads of Su Dong and Zhu Lu and fell behind Mertesacker.
After picking up the ball, Su Dong turned around decisively.
Zhu Lu behind him couldn't stop Su Dong at all. He was pressed firmly behind him and could only watch Su Dong turn around helplessly. But he was not incompetent either, and he stood in front of Su Dong.
After Su Dong turned around, he found that he could not break free from Zhu Lu, but the ball had already fallen. He made a quick decision, jumped into the air, volleyed the ball sideways, and kicked a very difficult shot with his right foot facing the falling football.
Mertesacker was also stunned by Su Dong's sudden and completely unconventional shot.
When Su Dong fell to the grass, thunderous cheers broke out in the stadium.
Lying in the Arsenal penalty area, Su Dong felt as if the sky of Manchester had collapsed. A tsunami poured down from the collapsing sky, sweeping across the entire stadium and surrounding him in the middle.
The Arsenal players around them still had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Mertesacker, Djokovic, Alexander Song, Arteta, and Szczesny in front of the goal all looked incredulous, as if asking: Damn, you can even score a goal like this?
Is there any justice in the world? This reaction made Su Dong feel very satisfied. He laughed and patted the grass, cheering non-stop, and even forgot to celebrate the goal.
The move just now was a spur of the moment move. After he lobbed the ball and turned around, he found himself blocked by Zhu Lu. He had no choice but to use his long legs to kick such a difficult shot.
All the Manchester City players swarmed into Arsenal's penalty area and pressed on Su Dong one by one. It was really a big crowd, but all the Manchester City fans in the stadium were still shouting Su Dong's name.
“This is definitely a classic goal!!”
"We couldn't believe that Su Dong could score a goal in this way."
"Mertesacker's header was too high but not far, but Su Dong's reaction was also fast enough. After picking up the ball first, he directly made a difficult volley shot from the side. This looks a bit like a karate or taekwondo move, right?"

…………
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Guardiola's expression was unusually rich.
When Arsenal launched a counterattack just now, he frowned for a moment, obviously not satisfied with the situation of the game.
As City regained control and launched another attack, he began to regain his composure.
After Su Dong completed such a difficult goal, he was completely stunned.
Yes, the live TV camera gave him a close-up, and his eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face, he was stunned.
It took him two full seconds to come to his senses. He covered his mouth with his hands, unable to hide his inner disbelief, and laughed so hard that his whole body shook.
"God, he can score this kind of goal, it's amazing!" Guardiola said to his assistants with surprise on his face.
Everyone nodded. Who said it wasn't?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
With such height, such jumping ability, such flexibility, such agility, and such reaction and awareness, who else can do it in today's world football? "I guess Wenger's heart is broken at this moment, and it's broken into pieces." Estiart laughed.
After more than 30 minutes, Arsenal were trailing 0-2 at the Etihad Stadium. How could they turn the tables?
Guardiola turned his head and glanced at Wenger, only to find that the Frenchman had returned to the coaching booth for some unknown reason, so he couldn't see Wenger's expression at the moment, but he could imagine that it must have been very interesting.
He has some sympathy for Wenger.
For a goal like Su Dong's, it really went beyond the scope of tactics. As the head coach, there was really nothing I could do, because it was simply not something that the head coach or the players could prevent.
Imagining Wenger's mood at this moment, Guardiola suddenly felt very happy.
It has always been a happy thing to have a player like Su Dong.
…………
…………
With Su Dong scoring twice, Manchester City has basically taken control of the situation.
Manchester City temporarily led 2-0 in the first half.
After the second half, neither side made any substitutions.
Arsenal still chooses to fight to the death with Manchester City.
Wenger is obviously very clear that at this point, retreating will not change the situation. Instead of doing that, he might as well go all out and fight Manchester City to the end, try to get a goal and save face.
It is with this kind of thinking that Arsenal continues to fight Manchester City to the end.
Manchester City was equally unambiguous and continued to siege Arsenal.
In the 53rd minute, it was Arsenal's quick counterattack that reached the front of Manchester City's penalty area. Pepe intercepted the ball and passed it to Busquets, who sent a ball behind his back directly to the left side of the penalty area in the frontcourt.
Su Dong, who was closest to the opponent, ran in at the fastest speed, stopped the ball before Koscielny, and formed a one-on-one situation with the Arsenal defender on the left side of the penalty area.
Su Dong deliberately slowed down his pace and slowly approached Koscielny with the ball. In fact, he was waiting for David Silva, Hazard and Sanchez on the right to catch up.
When they were all in place, Su Dong also approached Koscielny's defensive range. He made a fake move to go to the bottom, fooled Koscielny, then pulled the ball sideways with his right foot, creating a defensive loophole through Koscielny's body.
As soon as he created an opening, Su Dong did not rush into the penalty area, but directly shot.
This right-foot shot was kicked out with all his strength, the force was very great and the speed was very fast.
Szczesny had been standing on the left side of the goal. Facing Su Dong's shot, he had enough reaction time and defensive angles, but when he saved the ball, the force of the shot was too great and the speed was too fast, which resulted in him being unable to hold the ball tightly and it slipped out of his hands.
There was a sudden chaos in the penalty area.
There was a fight between Arsenal's defenders and Manchester City's attackers. Hazard got the ball and kicked it directly, but he missed the target. The ball hit Djokovic's leg and slid to the right side of the goal.
Mertesacker got into position in time and cleared the ball as soon as he saw it coming.
Unexpectedly, the short but very flexible David Silva suddenly got in front of Mertesacker like a ghost, kicked the ball and sent the ball into the nearby, unguarded Arsenal goal.
Three to zero! David Silva rushed to the left, pointed at Su Dong from a distance, and finally jumped directly on Su Dong, letting Su Dong carry him all the way to the sidelines to celebrate.
Three to zero, Manchester City’s outcome is decided!
Arsenal have no chance!
At the same time, with 14 consecutive wins, Manchester City also tied Arsenal's record for the longest winning streak in Premier League history!
