Chapter 226 Ozil was almost beaten to tears, Walcott: It was a wrong choice after all!

"GOAL!!"

"Walcott, he did it!"

In the 14th minute of the game, Arsenal scored the first goal.

After Ramsey intercepted the ball in the backcourt, he passed it to Walcott immediately. After receiving the ball, the little tiger rushed along the sidelines!

He was really fast and Manchester City's defenders couldn't catch up with him at all.

Joe Hart chose to attack in desperation, and as expected, he lost the one-on-one duel with Walcott, and was hit by the opponent through the crotch.

0:1!

Arsenal scored the first goal away from home!

In Arsenal's coaching booth, after seeing this goal, Wenger excitedly clenched his fists and ran several steps.

Success! My tactics were successful!

Sure enough, Manchester City’s defense is not strong, and there is a chance of winning if we go head-on with them!

Thinking of this, he decided to continue this style of play to see if he could score another goal! On the court, after scoring this goal, Walcott was also very excited.

As he ran quickly towards the sidelines, he put his finger to his mouth and made a shut-up gesture to the stands.

Apparently, he was responding to the humiliation heaped on him by City fans earlier:

Didn’t you say you didn’t know who I, Walcott, am?

Now, do you remember? He was booed by Manchester City fans!

"You're looking for death, you little brat!"

A hot-tempered burly man rolled up his sleeves and was about to give him a big slap in the face to teach him a lesson.

Unfortunately, as soon as he made a move, the security guards on the scene immediately noticed him, and several people blocked him tightly and prevented him from going onto the court.

Are you kidding? This game was broadcast live all over the world.

If some fans rushed into the stadium to cause trouble, it would not only bring shame to Manchester City, but also to the Premier League.

Therefore, the Premier League officials attached great importance to this game. A large number of security guards were hired at the match site, and the local police station was contacted outside the stadium. Thousands of police officers came to maintain order.

The more excited the Manchester City fans were, the prouder Walcott became.

He enjoyed the feeling of being slapped in the face in public, but it was not enough.

The guy who said that was Lin Quan, so if anyone is going to slap someone in the face, it should be that guy.

Thinking of this, Walcott looked at Lin Quan provocatively: Boy, wait, it's just the beginning!

Lin Quan did not notice Walcott's actions. After all, from the beginning to the end, Lin Quan never regarded Walcott as his opponent.

But the opponent has scored a goal, so he can't just do nothing.

So, after the game resumed, Arsenal players found that the opponent's No. 10 became more active!

Lin Quan can run, break through, dribble and pass in the frontcourt, and one-on-one defense can't limit him at all.

In the 18th minute of the game, the ball came to Lin Quan's feet again.

Ozil, who was facing Lin Quan, had no choice but to rush towards him. However, Lin Quan seemed not to see him and started moving the moment Lin Quan approached. The two of them collided with a bang.

Ozil is over 1.8 meters tall, while Lin Quan is only 1.73 meters tall. It seems that Ozil is much taller than Lin Quan.

So when the two collided, Arsenal fans were full of confidence.

There was an eight-centimeter height difference, and Ozil was well prepared. The advantage was mine! However, what they didn't expect was that it was not Lin Quan who was knocked down, but Ozil.

They only saw Ozil's height, but didn't know that Ozil weighed only 71 kilograms and had a typical skinny body. Such a body shape would obviously be a disadvantage in the Premier League, a league that advocates physical confrontation.

As for Lin Quan, he can fight against the fierce defenders in the Premier League, so why would he be afraid of Ozil, who has dark circles under his eyes and looks like he has kidney deficiency? "Ozil was knocked down again. I think he should gain weight!"

Seeing Lin Quan easily chopping down Ozil's "bamboo pole" like a lumberjack, Martin Taylor said seriously in the Sky Sports commentary booth.

"That's right, the Premier League is not La Liga. If he wants to adapt to the Premier League games, he can't be afraid of physical confrontation. If he wants to improve his physical confrontation ability, gaining weight is the best choice!"

Andy Gray, who was once a professional player, has more say on such matters. He used his own personal experience to advise the Arsenal signing who spent 50 million euros on the professor.

If he doesn't improve his physical confrontation ability, his performance at Arsenal will not improve, and may even become Arsenal's shortcoming.

In that case, Professor Wenger's 50 million euros will be wasted!

The two have been commentating on Premier League games for many years and have both admiration and sympathy for Wenger.

Wenger had worked hard to save up this amount of money to buy someone, and they didn't want this to prove to be a failed transfer.

…

On the field, after passing Ozil, Lin Quan quickly dribbled the ball towards Arsenal's penalty area.

Ramsey chose to come up for defense, but Lin Quan did not bother with him and decisively passed the ball to David Silva on the wing.

After receiving the ball, the latter took a few steps forward and passed the ball back to Lin Quan before his national team teammate Monreal rushed up.

Lin Quan had already gotten rid of Ramsey's interception at this time. After receiving the ball, he took two steps sideways to the middle and then passed the ball to David Silva who was making a forward run.

The two's several cooperations near the wing have disrupted Arsenal's defense. At this time, many Arsenal players including Wilshere, Flamini, Ramsey, Monreal and others were attracted by the two.

At this time, Manchester City striker Aguero had unknowingly entered Arsenal's penalty area.

Lin Quan saw that both of Arsenal's defensive midfielders were attracted by him, so he chose to pass the ball directly to Aguero who had already run out of position.

Mertesacker was very alert and kicked his foot to intercept the ball. However, before he could stop the ball, the football under his feet was taken away by someone!

Mertesacker turned back in shock and took a closer look. He found that the person who stole the ball from under his feet was Lin Quan, who had just passed the ball! Did this guy start the move the moment he passed the ball? Otherwise, how could he come so quickly? Arsenal's defense was completely messed up at this time. After they saw Lin Quan pass the ball to Aguero, they all focused their defense on Aguero.

Who knew that Lin Quan would steal the ball himself and rush forward with the ball.

Mertesacker, who was dribbled past, had lost his position, and Koscielny, who was marking Aguero, had no time to make up for the loss.

Lin Quan dribbled into the penalty area without being marked by anyone.

After taking a look at Szczesny's position, Lin Quan took the shot decisively.

There was no suspense about this goal. Szczesny didn't even make a symbolic save before the ball flew into the goal.

The score on the field was rewritten to 1:1. Manchester City quickly equalized the score less than five minutes after Arsenal scored.

The goal was scored by Manchester City's star player Lin Quan.

Compared to Walcott, who was extremely excited and even a little too proud of himself after scoring the goal.

Lin Quan seemed very calm after scoring the goal. He just high-fived and hugged his teammates who rushed up to celebrate, and then applauded the Manchester City fans in the stands. He did not hold any intense celebration.

For him, this kind of goal was as common as eating and drinking, and there was nothing to celebrate.

However, Lin Quan's calm attitude caused Walcott's dissatisfaction.

"Humph, why are you pretending? Aren't you just trying to appear noble?"

He felt that Lin Quan was targeting him, so he deliberately did not celebrate.

Walcott regarded Lin Quan as his opponent and tried his best to defeat Lin Quan.

He thought that Lin Quan would also regard him as an opponent, and every move he made was a response to him.

However, in fact, Lin Quan never cared about him at all. Walcott was wrong after all! Pellegrini was relieved when he saw the team quickly equalize the score.

He was not as excited as Wenger, he just calmly applauded the players.

On the other hand, Wenger frowned out of habit after seeing Arsenal's lead being quickly equalized.

Why does the plot feel different from what I imagined?

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Wenger originally planned to retreat and play a defensive counterattack after scoring another goal. With the speed and strength of Arsenal's two wingers Wilshere and Walcott, as long as Manchester City pressed forward, their counterattack would be very threatening.

But Manchester City's attacking power was even stronger than he imagined. Because of his greed, he did not choose to change tactics immediately after taking the lead, giving Manchester City the opportunity to equalize.

It is not known whether Arsenal can score again and take the lead. If Arsenal can still take the lead, Wenger will not be stubborn this time and will definitely choose to change tactics as soon as possible.

"Humph, idiot!"

Inside Chelsea's base, Mourinho, who was hoping Arsenal could snipe Manchester City, couldn't help but curse after seeing Wenger's team quickly equalized by the opponent.

This guy Wenger is really too slow and too sanctimonious.

What kind of beautiful football is this? Can it be more important than victory?

If it were him, he would change tactics immediately after taking the lead and would never give Manchester City any chance.

However, the madman seems to have forgotten that his team took the lead twice at Stamford Bridge, but was equalized by the opponent twice.

…

In the stands of the Etihad Stadium, Liverpool head coach Rogers shook his head.

"Arsenal's hope of winning is slim. Manchester City is in very good form today. If they only rely on attacking, they won't be able to defeat the opponent!"

I don't know if Wenger can understand this. If he retreats and plays a defensive counterattack now, maybe he can still maintain a draw.

However, the draw outcome is not enough for Arsenal, as they need 3 points, not 1 point.

If both teams get 1 point, the points gap between Arsenal and Manchester City will not change, but it will be an advantage for other pursuers, such as Liverpool, which is ranked third.

So Rogers really hopes that the two teams will fight each other and then end up in a draw.

But obviously, Manchester City does not intend to follow the script he wants.

After Lin Quan quickly helped the team equalize the score, Manchester City's offensive was completely launched.

The front four of Lin Quan, Nasri, Aguero and David Silva attacked Arsenal's penalty area in waves.

Before the first half was over, Manchester City had already completed 11 shots.

The main reason why Arsenal is so passive is that their midfield is too soft.

Ozil, who was easily defeated by Lin Quan in the physical confrontation, seemed to recall some bad memories.

He began to fear physical confrontation, and when faced with the opponent's fierce actions, he subconsciously wanted to protect himself or even escape.

This evasive attitude was immediately discovered by Manchester City players, so they seized the opportunity to beat him to death.

In just a few dozen minutes, Ozil was not only made to doubt his life by Lin Quan, but was also ravaged by other Manchester City players.

Seeing that his opponent was so weak, Manchester City's defensive midfielder Fernandinho immediately rushed forward with the power of a tiger, and tackled and pressed fiercely, making it impossible for Ozil to even dribble the ball.

But Ozil is still the core of Arsenal's organization. According to the team's tactics, he should be the one to distribute the ball.

It can be seen that Wenger has great trust in the German. In order to make room for him, the Spanish international Cazorla was placed on the bench by the professor.

You know, Cazorla was the absolute core of Arsenal last season. He played in all 38 Premier League games without missing a single one, and contributed 12 goals and 11 assists! Ozil has more ball possession, and Fernandinho is happy!

Seeing that the Arsenal player was about to pass the ball, Fernandinho deliberately kept a distance from Ozil, making the Arsenal player think that Ozil's position was safe, so he tricked the opponent into passing the ball to Ozil.

As a result, after Ozil received the ball, the Brazilian rushed up quickly and pushed Ozil aside with his butt.

Hey, give it to you! After completing the steal, Fernandinho quickly passed the ball to Lin Quan, but he did not retreat, but continued to move forward.

Seeing that his teammate had such a strong desire to attack, Lin Quan cooperated and passed the ball back to him.

The pass was very smooth and Fernandinho could shoot directly after receiving the ball.

Arsenal's players were obviously a little confused. Their defensive focus was all on Manchester City's frontcourt players. They never thought that the opponent's midfielder would attack from behind.

Besides, isn’t Fernandinho a defensive midfielder?

When can I participate in the attack?

They don't know that although Fernandinho is a defensive player, he has an excellent long-range shot.

When he was at Shakhtar Donetsk, he used the tactic of running in from behind and shooting from long range to help the team score goals many times.

After receiving the pass from Lin Quan, Fernandinho gave a thumbs up to his teammate in his heart.

No wonder these players in the frontcourt like Lin Quan so much. Lin’s passes really make people feel comfortable.

Fernandinho did not pay special attention to the goalkeeper's position. After stopping the ball, he adjusted his posture, leaned back slightly, and kicked the ball with his leg!

With a loud bang, the football turned into a heavy artillery shell and flew towards Arsenal's goal.

Szczesny reacted immediately, and the fingertips of his outstretched right hand touched the ball.

However, the force of the ball was so great that it knocked his fingers off and flew into the goal.

Looking at the ball rolling in his own net, Szczesny swung his right hand and looked at Manchester City's midfielder with fear.

This guy's long-range shot is really terrifying. I feel like my hand was almost broken by him.

After scoring the goal, Fernandinho seemed very excited. He put his hands next to his ears, ran around the stadium, and asked for applause and cheers from the fans.

Manchester City fans also gave him face. After seeing his actions, they all stood up and applauded him.

Even their own midfielder scored a goal, can Arsenal still turn the game around?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! (End of this chapter)
