Chapter 227: Wenger is hesitant and Ozil is angry

"The Brazilian should thank Lin Quan for his assist. Lin Quan passed the ball perfectly, allowing him to shoot comfortably."

"Wenger's Arsenal is in danger. Before the first half was over, they had already been reversed by Manchester City!"

In the Sky Sports commentary booth, after seeing Fernandinho's goal, the two commentators were not optimistic about Arsenal's prospects.

Once falling behind at Manchester City's home ground, it will be difficult to turn the tables.

Wenger was obviously very clear about this, so after seeing Fernandinho score a goal, Wenger put his hand on his forehead, he knew something was wrong.

"Should we replace Cazorla?"

Arsenal's assistant coach spoke up and everyone could see that Ozil was beaten.

He was originally a little afraid of physical confrontation, and now Manchester City discovered and exploited this weakness, beating him to death.

If Arsenal doesn't find a way to solve this problem quickly, goals like the one just now will probably continue to happen.

"Wait a moment!"

Wenger's old habit of indecision came back again. He still had expectations for Ozil and hoped that he could adjust his condition quickly.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, after Manchester City's attack failed, Arsenal organized a counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Ramsey hesitated for a second, not knowing whether he should pass it to Ozil.

Ozil had made many mistakes on the field before, which became a breakthrough point for Arsenal and made the players behind him very uncomfortable.

Ramsey had had enough of cleaning up the mess, so this time he passed the ball to Wilshere.

Before Wilshere even received the ball, he was double-teamed by Lin Quan and David Silva, while there was no one around Ozil.

So Wilshere could only pass the ball to Ozil.

Ozil also knew that his performance today was very bad, so he tried his best to perform well.

After receiving the pass from Wilshere, he took the opportunity when no one was defending him to look up and observe.

Arsenal striker Giroud had not yet run out of the open space at this time, and his passing line was blocked by Manchester City players, so Ozil could not pass the ball to him.

Wilshere was being double-teamed by the opponent, and if he passed the ball back to the opponent at this time, the ball would most likely be intercepted.

Then pass the ball to Walcott on the right!

Thinking of this, Ozil quickly completed the pass.

Ozil's footwork is still very good and the quality of this pass is extremely high.

After receiving the ball, Walcott quickly sped along the sideline. However, Manchester City was prepared for him. Nasri and Yaya Toure both blocked his way and built an insurmountable iron wall.

Walcott has a good success rate in one-on-one situations, but he is not so sure when it comes to one-on-two situations!

After all, not everyone has the abnormal dribbling ability like Messi and Lin Quan!

So Walcott chose to pass the ball to Giroud. Giroud received the ball with his back to the goal, but was blocked by Kompany and could not turn around.

He passed the ball back to Ozil, then turned around and waited for his teammate's through ball.

Good opportunity!

Off the field, Wenger's eyes lit up.

As long as Ozil passes the ball to Giroud, Giroud will have a chance to shoot.

However, before Ozil could receive the ball, Manchester City players had already tackled him.

"Lin, why is he here?"

"Lin retreated very deep when defending, almost chasing back to his own penalty area!"

"This kind of tackle is very dangerous. After all, Lin is not a professional defensive player. His tackle is likely to cause injury to the opposing player, and he himself may also be given a card for it!"

Wenger was shocked when he saw that the player who made the tackle was Manchester City's No. 10 Lin Quan, while the TV commentators were also very surprised and a little worried.

Ozil felt someone rushing towards him from the side, and subconsciously glanced over, and saw Lin Quan falling to the ground and tackling him.

He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to catch the ball. He subconsciously jumped up to avoid the opponent's tackle.

The opponent's movements were not standard at first glance. If you were tackled by him, you might be seriously injured.

He is still young and has just entered the golden period of his career. There are endless possibilities in the future, so he does not want his career to be affected by injuries.

On the field, this choice cannot be said to be wrong. After all, not everyone can risk their lives.

However, this is the Premier League! Seeing Ozil give up the ball to protect himself, Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium laughed at him.

"Haha, Ozil is scared!"

"You ballless coward, go back to your mother's arms and drink her milk!"

"This soft sissy, I don't know why Wenger fell in love with him and was willing to spend 50 million euros on him!"

Premier League fans like to watch intense physical confrontations and like those brave and fearless tough players.

They really hate players like Ozil, who are soft, have no courage and even avoid physical confrontation.

Not to mention Manchester City fans who were mocking Ozil, even Arsenal fans couldn't help but shake their heads after seeing this goal.

"Can this guy really become the leader of the team?"

"Who knows? But I'm sure he can't be a leader like Vieira!"

"Ah, I really don't know what qualities the professor saw in him that he was willing to spend so much money to buy him."

Before Ozil came, the most expensive signing in Arsenal's history was only 16 million euros, and Ozil's transfer fee was three times this record.

Considering that the other party is Real Madrid's No. 10 player after all, who has proven his strength in La Liga and the Champions League, the price is not particularly outrageous, although Arsenal was definitely ripped off by Real Madrid.

When learning about the transfer, Arsenal fans felt a little painful, but they thought that you get what you pay for, and they generally had great expectations for Arsenal's record signing.

However, it now seems that Ozil's performance is completely unworthy of his worth and the high salary he receives.

Many Arsenal fans began to think that this was a failed transfer. Wenger may have never spent so much money on such an expensive player, so he made a mistake! In Wenger's style, he should continue to buy young players with unlimited potential and young age. Not only are they cheap, but they can also be cultivated.

Just like the No. 10 player on the opposite side of Manchester City, he meets Wenger's standards very well.

Very young, has great potential, and is also very strong in combat.

The most important thing is that they don't need to pay a transfer fee to buy him. No matter how you look at it, he is a perfect fit for Arsenal! If they had bought the opponent's No. 10, how great it would have been! On the court, when Lin Quan saw that Ozil was so scared that he didn't dare to receive the ball, he grabbed the ball without hesitation.

Seeing Lin Quan retract his foot and fail to clear the ball, Ozil had already reacted.

The other party just wanted to scare him. He was the core of Manchester City. How could he do such a dirty job as tackling? When he thought of this, he suddenly became angry.

Looking at Lin Quan's back as he dribbled away with the ball, Ozil clenched his fists and a crazy idea flashed through his mind.

Lin Quan didn't know what Ozil was thinking. Taking advantage of Arsenal's opportunity to switch from offense to defense, he quickly passed the ball to his teammates, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to catch the opponent off guard.

When Arsenal players saw the ball was intercepted, they immediately chose to retreat.

But the speed of human movement is obviously not as fast as that of a football.

The ball was transferred by Lin Quan to David Silva's feet. David Silva did not take the ball and went to find the team's forward Aguero first.

Aguero's movement was very smart. He started quickly the moment Silva passed the ball, resolved the opponent's offside trap, and got the ball.

This is a one-on-one opportunity.

Szczesny chose to leave the goal and Aguero also chose to shoot into the far corner.

In the confrontation between the two, the Argentine had the last laugh.

The football brushed the far post and rolled into the net!

3:1!

Manchester City expanded their lead again!

“Damn it!”

"I've had enough of this stupid guy!"

"Haha, are we short of one person? Why does it feel like there are 12 people on the other side?"

"What is Wenger doing? Why doesn't he take that guy off?"

After seeing Manchester City's goal, Arsenal fans finally couldn't help it.

Their patience with Ozil has been completely exhausted, and they lost 2 goals just because the opponent was afraid of confrontation.

If we hadn't lost these two goals, the score would still be 1:1!

Even if they can't win, they can at least secure a draw.

But now, let alone winning, even a draw has become a luxury!

If Arsenal lose this game, they will miss the half-time championship and will be 9 points behind Manchester City.

With such a big gap, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up in the second half of the season. After all, Arsenal's signature program is the habitual collapse in the second half of the season.

"Coach, let's make a substitution!"

Assistant coach Steve Bould couldn't bear to watch it anymore, he wanted to rush onto the field to replace Ozil.

"The first half is almost over, let's change it during the halftime break!"

Wenger is also very disappointed with Ozil. He does not require Ozil to become a tough leader like Vieira, but you can't be so outrageous, right?

Just seeing that the first half was about to end, any substitution at this time would have a huge impact on Ozil's confidence and mentality.

So the professor was still prepared to save some face for the opponent and replace him after the last few minutes of the first half.

However, the professor's hesitation this time led to disaster.

In the last minute of the first half, Lin Quan was seen dribbling the ball and preparing to break through.

Ozil suddenly rushed over from the side and tackled Lin Quan who was dribbling the ball.

Obviously, this was a retaliatory foul.

He was avenging the humiliating tackle that Lin Quan had made earlier!

With a bang, the two men collided heavily and fell to the ground one after another.

Lin Quan's tackle was made in front of Ozil, giving him time to react.

Ozil's tackle was intended to be a foul, but Lin Quan didn't notice his action and had no time to react.

When Ozil tackled Lin Quan, there was an uproar at the scene.

Manchester City fans stood up nervously, craning their necks to look towards the stadium.

Ozil's tackle was quite large and Lin Quan had no time to dodge it.

So he is likely to be injured, and very likely seriously injured! The referee quickly stopped the game and ran towards the scene.

He saw clearly that Ozil didn't kick the ball at all, but hit a person.

This was clearly a foul, and a flagrant foul.

So he showed Ozil a red card without hesitation and sent him off the field directly.

Ozil rolled on the ground holding his feet with a painful expression. At this time, he had no intention of paying attention to the referee's decision at all.

When he made the tackle, he felt like he was hitting a piece of iron. The opponent's ankle was incredibly hard.

He didn't know if the other person was injured, but he felt that he was definitely injured.

So even if the referee didn't show him a red card, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

Seeing Ozil rolling on the ground, the referee initially thought he was pretending to be innocent and trying to gain sympathy.

So he waved to Manchester City to ask the team doctor to come on the field to treat Lin Quan's injury, while he watched Ozil's performance coldly.

Seeing their teammate's poor acting skills, the Arsenal players felt ashamed to be associated with him, and no one stepped forward to pull Ozil up.

As for Lin Quan, when Manchester City players saw him fall to the ground injured, they immediately rushed over.

"Lin, are you okay?"

"If Lin gets injured, I will have to cripple a few Arsenal players later!"

"Stop talking about this, team doctor, get the team doctor up here!"

Manchester City players were talking at once, their concern evident in their words.

If the referee hadn't been standing next to Ozil, they all wanted to grab Ozil and beat him up to vent their anger for Lin Quan.

The referee watched for a while and saw that Ozil was sweating in pain and there was even steam coming out of his forehead. He realized that the opponent was not pretending but was really injured.

Then he waved to Arsenal, signaling their team doctor to come up as well.

The Manchester City fans at the scene cursed Ozil while looking at the injured Lin Quan with concern.

The opponent kicked him and injured him. I am afraid that Lin Quan's injury will be even more serious! Manchester City's team doctor thought so too. He brought all the equipment and trotted to the stadium with a serious expression.

Before they even reached the scene, Lin Quan stood up on his own...

"Lin, don't move, be careful not to aggravate your injuries!"

The team doctor was shocked and quickly stopped Lin Quan and asked him to lie down again.

"Uh, I'm fine, really!"

Lin Quan explained very seriously, but the team doctor didn't believe him at all.

Nothing? How is that possible? The other party is injured, how can you be okay?

However, after a series of examinations, Manchester City's team doctor was a little confused.

Is everything really okay?

In this river?

He began to doubt whether he had not mastered the skills well enough, or whether he had made a mistake in the inspection.

So he turned his eyes to the Arsenal team doctor who was checking Ozil's injury on the other side.

"Um, fellow colleague, can I trouble you for a favor..."

The fans at the scene and the viewers in front of the TV felt very confused and didn't know what the team doctors of Manchester City and Arsenal were doing.

"What's going on with Emperor Lin? Why did he stand up and then lie down again?"

"Why was it Arsenal's team doctor who examined Lin Huang's injury?"

"Manchester City's team doctor is so poor in his professional skills that he actually went to his colleague at Arsenal for help!"

"Uh, Emperor Lin stood up again. Is this to confirm that he is not injured?"

"It's good that you're not injured. If you were really injured, you'd probably have to rest for several months!"

"Speaking of which, Lin Huang's physique is really ridiculously strong. In every game, he can be seen being targeted and violated by opponents, but I have never seen him get hurt!"

"Now that you mention it, I realize that Lin Huang seems to have been present in every game this season and has not missed any game!"

"That's not the case. Lin Huang didn't play in the fourth round of the League Cup, but it wasn't because of injury!"

"Hiss, that's exaggerated. At least the Premier League and Champions League teams are fully present. Their efficiency is incredibly high!"

"I remember when he was in the Bundesliga, he missed games due to injury, but this didn't happen in the Premier League. It's really strange!"

"Maybe it's because I have good physical fitness and more experience in competitions, so I know how to protect myself better!"

"It's a good thing to have fewer injuries. This kind of talent is what many players dream of!"

"Royce gave a thumbs up!"

"Messi, Robben, Kaka and Ronaldo are very envious!"

"Woo woo, Messi fans said that if Messi could have fewer injuries this season, his statistics would not be just this low!"

…

On the field, after Arsenal's team doctor examined Lin Quan, he also began to doubt his life.

Is he really not injured?

How could this be possible? He looked back at Ozil who was being carried away on a stretcher, and for a moment he had the illusion that it was Ozil who was fouled instead of Lin Quan.

Otherwise, why was it Ozil who was carried away while Lin Quan was still alive and well?
