Chapter 388: Seeing the Golden Hook Again(1/2)
It used to be said that as his rival Mourinho grew older, he became more and more useless and his temper became more and more irritable.
Guardiola has been smiling at the situation, but now it seems that Guardiola's temper has been completely exposed, and it is not as good as imagined.
Maybe now is his true temperament?
The score of 2:3 makes him very crazy now.
Although this goal was not scored by Luo Wu, it was instigated by Luo Wu. His flash of inspiration at the edge of the penalty area once again confused Fernandinho and Danilo.
You can't stop a shot, you can't stop a pass.
Facts have proved that as long as Luo Wu is given a chance near the penalty area, he has the ability and method to create scoring opportunities.
Luo Wu is incomprehensible.
He brings anxiety to all Manchester City people.
"perhaps……"
"As long as we let him go, the matter can be solved." The assistant coach suddenly walked up to Guardiola and whispered in his ear.
Guardiola's eyes became focused again, and a hint of murderous intent flashed when they fell on Luo Wu.
Of course he was moved.
But he was still hesitating.
If you really want to implement plan B, it would be really shameless.
He hasn't thought about it yet, although he has been preparing.
He didn't want to take this tactic unless he had to do it as a last resort.
He wasn't in a hurry when he was leading 3:0 just now, but now it's 3:2.
"Don't think about it, the safest way is to do this." The assistant coach reminded him again.
But Guardiola remained unmoved, perhaps because of his conscience.
The assistant coach doesn’t have much to say...
In the end, Guardiola just pulled De Bruyne to the side of the court to explain a few words, but did not implement the so-called plan B.
The game resumed again, and Arsenal's momentum was completely back. The two sides began to play evenly, and the midfield battle became very intense. Luo Wu was able to move to the front and stand with Haaland.
Luo Wu's foot injury has not healed in the first place, so it is not appropriate to engage in fierce battles with the opponent. Being at the front will put huge pressure on Manchester City's defense.
Haaland dropped back slightly to help the midfielder share the defense.
"this……"
"Obviously, this guy's foot injury has not healed yet, otherwise he would not be able to play in this position. If we don't make a decision, it will be too late." Manchester City's assistant coach approached Guardiola again and suggested.
Guardiola narrowed his eyes, then raised his left hand to stop him from continuing.
"I know."
"You don't need to say any more."
"I am the coach."
It looked like he was a little angry.
Of course, kindness occupies the vast majority of his heart.
Although he hates Lou very much, he has not done anything crazy yet.
I can't bear it.
Still too kind...
At this time, Manchester City completed another shot, but the quality was not high. Sane on the left hit the side net.
After Martinez recovered the ball, he launched a fast break and kicked the ball up with his big foot. However, Luo Wu in front was not tall enough and could not grab the high ball.
Harland rushed over in time and joined the battle group. He jumped up and pressed Otamendi and gave the ball to Luo Wu. However, Laporta next to Luo Wu used his physical advantage to knock Luo Wu away.
Carry it behind you.
The ball was still taken away by a Manchester City player.
In fact, Luo Wu didn't participate in the fight at all. He couldn't spend his energy on this now.
He just wants to be healthy and stand on the court.
After Fernandinho got the ball, he immediately passed it to Sterling on the right. Sterling used his speed to force overtake from the outside and passed Koscielny!
He once again completed a ground ball pass, and Aguero ran over to respond in advance. Before Papastathopoulos could get close to him, he nudged the ball, turned around to the center and took a step inside.
The shooting space immediately became available, and he shot directly into the near corner with his left foot, but the ball also hit the side netting.
Manchester City's offensive continued unabated. Following Arsenal's attack, starting from the right, Lichtsteiner passed the ball to Saka in front. Saka was not in a hurry this time. He controlled the ball at his feet and passed it.
To Guendouzi, Guendouzi passed the ball across to Elneny, and then continued to move to the left.
When Ronaldo got the ball, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward and passed it back to Elneny again.
It wasn't until Haaland retreated that Elneny stuffed the ball.
It is obvious that they are not in a hurry when playing now, and Luo Wu plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the army on the court.
Harland firmly controlled the ball at his feet, glanced at Luo Wu, but turned around and wiped the ball from the other direction. Otamendi, who was following him, was already suffering a physical disadvantage, but he was still dumped by Harland.
It's open.
But Danilo made up for it in time and still blocked Haaland's way.
At this time Luo Wu ran over, but Fernandinho also followed.
Harland made a concealed cut with the outside of his right foot. The ball actually passed behind Walker, but Walker also noticed Ronaldo's movement. He only looked at the person and not the ball. At the same time, he turned around and chased back, but there was still no chance.
Let Ronaldo get the ball.
He was stuck in his position first, and Ronaldo pushed him down helplessly from behind. The referee's whistle sounded, and Ronaldo committed a foul.
Excellent defenders look at people rather than the ball and block the route in advance. This is what Walker did.
Walker immediately sent an overhead ball, still trying to hit behind Arsenal's defense. Sterling used his speed advantage to get in behind Koscielny.
But central defender Holding ran over in time. Although Sterling got the ball, Holding also blocked him outside the penalty area.
When Sterling saw that there was only Holding beside him, he rushed forward with confidence and tried to cut into the penalty area, but Holding's legs were very long and he took two steps forward.
Sterling blocked the ball, and Sterling's footwork was relatively thin. He used the outside instep of his right foot to hook the ball back, and then made a circle in the opposite direction.
Holding's movements were still a little clumsy, and Sterling got around him. However, Koscielny came back at this time and still blocked him on the outside. Sterling could only pass the ball back.
De Bruyne followed up with a meteoric stride and made a diagonal pass to meet the ball.
The ball quickly fell into the back of Arsenal's penalty area. Sane almost took off on the spot, but his force was too small. The ball had no power and was easily caught by Martinez.
Martinez immediately threw the ball out of the penalty area with great force. Saka ran back to the center to receive the ball and decisively passed the ball to Harland in front.
Harland feinted a shot and suddenly missed the ball!
What a surprise.
The ball leaked to Luo Wu.
Luo Wu is only supported by Laporte!
This is quite scary.
Everyone's eyes widened, thinking that Luo Wu was going to play a trick on Laporte. After all, it was too easy for Luo Wu to deal with a defensive player.
Laporte also felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, so he quickly took half a step forward and stuck close to Luo Wu.
But Luo Wu's action surprised him. Luo Wu directly used the arch of his right foot to kick the ball back to the midfielder and handed it to Guendouzi.
What was originally a beautiful fast break turned into a positional battle in an instant.
According to the past, Luo Wu must have gotten rid of Laporte very cleanly, and it was impossible to pass the ball back.
But now he does just that.
It's shocking.
But it's also expected.
"It's solid."
"It feels like he was seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do this. It seems that defending Luo Wu has become easier."
Even Carragher could think of it, didn't Guariola think of it?
It's definitely not possible.
I feel more relieved now.
There should be no problem in keeping an eye on him, as long as you don't give Luo Wu space to pass the ball like Fernandinho did just now, and maintain 200% concentration...
At this time, Luo Wu had already run into the Manchester City penalty area, and Ronaldo, who got the ball on the left, got rid of Walker and passed the ball back to the center.
Guendouzi, who followed, tried to hit a shot from outside the penalty area, but the quality of the shot was extremely poor.
To be continued...
