Chapter 810 He is the unstoppable god of war!
After the start of the second half, Arsenal continued to take advantage of their numerical advantage and control the initiative on the field.
Anyone could clearly see that after entering the second half, Manchester City became more passive.
This is inevitable.
In the first half, Manchester City was able to make up for the personnel deficiencies by relying on their abundant physical strength and running at all costs, but the players are human beings after all, not robots. After being exhausted to a certain extent, they began to lose strength.
This is also why, as reflected in the data, the later the red card appears, the smaller the impact on the game.
For a game like this where a red card appeared just four minutes into the game, it was fatal to the team that had one player sent off.
Even the Sky Sports commentator said during the half-time break that it was quite remarkable that Manchester City was able to tie the game 2-2 in the first half. Even if they lost the game in the end, Manchester City could still hold their heads high.
But after the start of the second half, everyone found that Manchester City was indeed in a passive situation on the field, and the players' physical energy was indeed consumed greatly, but each of them was running and defending hard, cherishing every opportunity for the team to get the ball.
The 4-4-1 formation always maintained a compact queue and did not allow Arsenal to easily break through their defense.
The ball possession rate was constantly tilting towards Arsenal, but Manchester City's defense was still very tenacious.
In the 48th minute of the second half, Chamakh broke through Boateng on the left, reached the left side of the penalty area and knocked the ball back. Fabregas and Nasri cooperated and pushed the ball from the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area. However, under the pressure of central defenders Kompany and Pepe, this shot failed to create a threat and was easily confiscated by Joe Hart.
Just five minutes later, Arsenal launched another attack.
First, Sagna made a cross from the right, creating a dangerous situation in the penalty area, but Pepe headed the ball away before Fabregas and Chamakh, and the ball went out of the penalty area.
Outside the penalty area, Arsenal reorganized. Nasri made a diagonal pass in the counterattack. Arshavin once again rushed to the left side of the penalty area and passed the ball across the goal. Chamakh and Nasri rushed towards the goal at the same time, but due to the interference of Kompany and Pepe, they failed to get a chance to shoot and the ball slipped past the goal.
Sagna from the right side made another cross, and near the penalty spot, Su Dong headed the ball out of the penalty area, clearing the ball for Manchester City.
But then Sanchez's counterattack failed to get across the center line.
Arsenal's attack was very fierce, continuously threatening Manchester City's goal, making Manchester City's goal seem precarious and could be breached at any time.
"Even Su Dong has returned to the penalty area, which shows that Manchester City is really determined to defend to the end."
"The performance of this team tonight was truly impressive, especially the tenacity and resilience."
"We just can't believe that this is the same Manchester City team that was always on the defensive in strong matches last season."
"It can be said that after Su Dong joined the team and wore the captain's armband, what he brought to Manchester City was not only his goals and assists, but also his leadership and role model power."
"More than one Manchester City player has said that Su Dong is the center point that they all strive to gather together."
"Look at this time, Arsenal organized another offensive."
…
In the 57th minute, Fabregas made a wonderful pass, Arshavin stopped the ball on the left, dribbled past Boateng, and volleyed a powerful long shot, which was saved by goalkeeper Joe Hart over the crossbar and resulted in a corner kick.
Arsenal took a corner kick and the ball fell to the back post. It was Su Dong who headed the ball away before Squillaci could, but the ball went out of the penalty area.
But the ball was still in Arsenal's hands, the Gunners were still organizing the attack, and Manchester City's goal was in a state of panic.
Chamakh's shot was blocked by Kompany's foot and went out of bounds, giving Arsenal another corner kick opportunity.
The subsequent corner kick was blocked by Manchester City players, and this wave of attack came to a temporary end with a long shot from Alexander Song that just hit the post and went out of the bottom line.
Arsenal's attacks were more fierce than one wave. The Gunners obviously wanted to beat Manchester City away from home and win these precious three points.
This is what all strong teams must do.
A team will never become a champion if it always loses points in direct matches with its rivals.
This is true for Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool!
After losing 0-2 to Chelsea, Arsenal urgently needed the three points from Manchester City to make up for the defeat in the strong dialogue.
What's more, it was a godsend opportunity, a red card and a penalty kick. Even the Arsenal players themselves felt it was unjustifiable not to take the three points.
But in the second half, Manchester City became unusually tenacious.
They were obviously exhausted, and many players started breathing heavily as soon as they stopped playing. But when the game started again, they immediately got back into the game. Even the Arsenal players, their opponents, were impressed by their tenacity.
They really didn't know that Manchester City had such a tenacious and tough side.
Inside the stadium, all Manchester City fans were worried. They seemed to have seen the goal being conceded, but they just didn't know when and how it would happen.
But there was surprise, astonishment and amazement on everyone's face.
Manchester City was tenacious tonight and won honorably despite losing!
The time has entered the sixty minutes, but Guardiola has no plans to make substitutions.
The live TV camera turned to the sidelines and gave him a close-up. People could see that he was gritting his teeth, as if waiting for something, but there was confusion in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not sure whether what he was waiting for would appear.
…
In the 63rd minute, Clichy made a forward attack, but Toni Kroos chased back and intercepted the ball with the help of Boateng, and he successfully intercepted the ball.
Boateng quickly passed the ball to Toni Kroos. Before the Arsenal players could get to the ball, the German midfielder made a long pass to the left side where Arsenal was relatively weak in personnel.
Marcelo stopped the ball with his chest, stepped forward with his left foot, and quickly rushed forward with the ball, looking ahead as he ran.
Arsenal's defense was retreating quickly.
Just after crossing the center line, Marcelo made a diagonal pass with his left foot and sent the ball to the retreating Su Dong in the 30-meter area.
Su Dong blocked Squillaci with his body, stopped the ball with his chest, skillfully stopped the ball with his right foot, quickly passed it back, and turned forward.
David Silva came up and made a straight pass to Su Dong without stopping the ball.
Su Dong rushed to the front of the penalty area and sprinted forward. Facing David Silva's through pass, he stopped the ball to the left with his right foot, barely avoiding Alexander Song who was trying to intercept it. He stopped the ball again with his left foot, just avoiding Squillaci, and at the same time used his body to block Fabregas behind him.
After controlling the ball with his left and right feet continuously, Su Dong, who was already on the left side of the arc outside the penalty area, stopped the ball with his right foot. Without waiting for Alexander Song and Zhu Lu to form a siege, he immediately swung his right foot again and directly kicked out a curve ball.
The ball flew out from the two strong legs of Zhu Lu and Alexander Song, drew an arc, and flew into the upper right corner of Arsenal's goal amid Fabianski's desperate save.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Sudong!!! Sudong!!!!!!"
Su Dong clenched his fists, roared angrily, turned around quickly and rushed to the sidelines.
Manchester City fans throughout the Etihad Stadium rushed out of their seats at the same time, roaring wildly.
Manchester City players rushed towards Su Dong.
"Oh my God, in the 63rd minute, Su Dong managed to dodge and dodge despite Arsenal's tight double-teaming. Relying on his personal ability, he shot a curved ball and broke through Arsenal's defense again!"
"hat trick!"
"He is the unstoppable god of war!!!"
"We can only bow down to Su Dong!"
Su Dong rushed to the sidelines, waving his fists towards the fans in the stands, and finally kissed the ring on his left hand vigorously. He walked two steps on the sidelines and hugged his teammates who were running towards him.
Who dares to believe it?
He actually scored again! 3-2! Manchester City, with one man less, actually took the lead again! The Manchester City players couldn't believe their eyes and hugged Su Dong in amazement.
Even the live camera captured the scene on the sidelines where two Manchester City ball boys rushed out and hugged the players.
After Su Dong let go of his teammates, he clenched his fists and roared at the orbiting camera that was sliding over.
He wants to use this method to tell his teammates, Manchester City fans, and the whole world that neither red cards nor penalties can defeat Manchester City!
"From the slow-motion replay, we can feel that there were five Arsenal defenders around Su Dong at the time. Under almost impossible circumstances, he relied on his skillful footwork and his excellent little swing shot to seize a gap and scored this crucial goal for Manchester City!"
"We must praise Manchester City and Su Dong, they are great!"
"After getting a red card in four minutes and a penalty in the first half, they managed to withstand the pressure and lead three times. It's incredible."
"Especially Su Dong, he almost single-handedly provoked Manchester City's attack."
"With a team like Su Dong and a team like Manchester City, who dares to say they can easily defeat them?"
"Who dares to say that this is a ragtag group of mercenaries?"
…
When the entire Etihad Stadium was filled with shouts of "Su Dong", Wang Chuqing, far away in Oxford in the south of England, had just seen Su Dong's goal on the live broadcast, saw him roar as he rushed to the sidelines, and saw him kiss the ring hard.
She was so excited that she cheered out loud and she didn't even know when she jumped up.
At this moment, she felt extremely proud and proud.
For no other reason than Su Dong!
Just because of the way he kissed the ring after scoring the goal!
She suddenly felt a strong urge.
She wanted to see him! Now! Right now!
She wanted to tell him without reservation that she had been completely conquered by him!
He was like water and air to her.
She wouldn't be able to survive without him.
