, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!

The first half is coming to an end, and the two teams are currently tied at 1:1.

Although there are not many goals, the game is very exciting.

Whether it is Manchester City’s penetrating offense or Arsenal’s coordinated defense, these are telling everyone how high the quality of this game is.

In particular, the performance of the players on both sides is also extremely outstanding.

They can seize the only opportunity to score goals, and at the same time they can also play smooth and tacit cooperation and delivery.

Manchester City’s passing and control, Arsenal’s counterattack, these are all extremely sharp.

Manchester City equalized the score in nearly 40 minutes, which prevented Arsenal from expanding their advantage when they were leading.

And Manchester City was relieved based on this goal.

This goal can keep Manchester City in control of the midfield. For Manchester City, once they lose the rhythm of the midfield, they will lose the game.

The game time has entered 40 minutes unknowingly, and there are only 5 minutes left before the end of the first half.

5 minutes is neither long nor short.

But for Arsenal and Manchester City, it doesn't mean much.

On the one hand, they consumed too much energy in the confrontation in the first half.

On the other hand, there is no possibility of tearing the opponent's defense in these short 5 minutes, so it is better to save some energy for the second half.

For this reason, both sides tacitly stopped fighting, and the rhythm of the game finally slowed down.

"Both sides slowed down the rhythm a little, and it is obvious that they are ready to put more energy into the second half."

"For Manchester City and Arsenal, they need to make more efforts to win this game, at least they need to be more flexible in tactical changes."

In the commentator's words, the last five minutes also passed slowly.

When the halftime whistle sounded, the game temporarily entered a truce state.

The players of both sides tied the game 1:1 in the whole 45 minutes, and in the second half, the two teams will play such a game again, which makes many people look forward to it.

After returning to the locker room, Manchester City players began to discuss actively.

"Our offense is effective, so we need to attack more aggressively!"

"It can't be said that Arsenal's midfield defense still puts a lot of pressure on us. Our first task is how to get through this stage."

De Bruyne also spoke: "I think the whole situation is stalemate for us and Arsenal at present. Our offense is effective, and Arsenal's defense is also strong, and the key to this game is here."

"For us, offense is inevitable. We don't have a defensive system like Arsenal, and we can't enter the linkage defense as stably as they do, so we have to suppress more with an offensive posture."

"Once our offense can't put pressure on them, Arsenal will immediately use counterattacks to give us a hard blow!"

De Bruyne is very clear that in the entire first half of the game, both sides played their own distinctive characteristics.

The goals scored by both sides are due to this feature. Therefore, how to get more opportunities in the second half is the key.

At this time, Guardiola clapped his hands to interrupt the conversation and said: "We played very well in the first half, especially the goal that tied the score. Of course, it would be better if we scored first."

"Our characteristics are offense and conduction, so we should make fewer passing mistakes in the frontcourt on this basis, and use offense to oppress Arsenal's defense as much as possible, so as to get more opportunities, and everything needs you to create!"

"I won't limit how you play, but you must play the situation we want. This is the only way for us to win."

Guardiola said in a deep voice: "We must stop Arsenal here and interrupt their unbeaten record. I think you understand why we should do this."

Everyone's expression became serious, and they knew this better than anyone else.

On the other side, in Arsenal's locker room, Mourinho was also explaining the problems in the second half.

"We lost the ball in the first half because of laxity. I have told you more than once that when defending, we should not only look at where the ball is, but also pay attention to where the opponent's players are! Where can we pose a threat, etc."

"Our problem is that when we are in a defensive position, we pay too much attention to the ball instead of the running players."

Mourinho said seriously: "In the second half, this is a problem that must be focused on. Manchester City's attack seems to be transmission, but it is also running and penetrating."

The Arsenal players nodded slightly, and they probably understood what Mourinho meant.

During the halftime break, the players were trying their best to recover their physical strength.

After the entire first half, it took a lot of physical energy out of them, so they needed to race against time.

At the same time, they are also formulating the problems for the second half in their minds.

After all, the championship trophy is currently available, and any detail in the next 45 minutes will affect the ownership of this championship.

Beep!

Outside the locker room, the whistle sounded.

It was the whistle at the end of half-time, reminding them that it was time to get back on the pitch.

One by one, the players stood up from the bench and once again stepped onto the battlefield that belonged to them.

What greeted them was waves of cheers.

Wow!

Both Manchester City and Arsenal fans greeted this game with their loudest cheers.

This may be their first/second championship, and for this, as fans, they are extremely excited.

Of course, in their passionate mood, they were also anxious about the competition.

After all, the two sides were tied for 45 minutes.

"In the first half, Manchester City had 68% of the ball. Arsenal had 32%. It can be said that Manchester City controlled more of the ball."

"The threatening attacks of both sides were that Manchester City shot 10 times, hit the door frame 4 times, and scored one goal. Arsenal shot 9 times, hit the door frame 5 times, and scored one goal!"

"In the limited counterattack opportunities, Arsenal's every shot was of high quality."

"On the other hand, when Manchester City faced Arsenal's defense, their shots were not that easy."

"Overall, Manchester City has more possession of the ball and more attacks. They have more dominance and at the same time give more offensive pressure."

"Arsenal is better able to seize the opportunity to counterattack. For Manchester City, they must be careful about Arsenal's counterattack."

At this time, players from both sides have arrived in their respective halves.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.

Arsenal took the lead.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Arsenal, after passing the ball back, tried to hoist the ball into the backcourt and make a surprise attack.

But Manchester City was obviously prepared and retreated very quickly, preventing Arsenal from successfully attacking.

But Arsenal didn't pay too much attention.

For them, this is just an attempt. If you lose the ball, you will lose the ball, as long as it is not in a dangerous location. After all, Arsenal does not have such a big need for the ball.

After the ball was transferred to Manchester City, Arsenal players quickly retreated and began to set up defense.

Manchester City also accelerated their attack.

When the attack came to Arsenal's penalty area again, Manchester City, after several passes, suddenly David Silva stepped forward and fired a powerful shot.

"David Silva's long shot! This kick is of high quality, Martinez!

! Concentrated save, very quick reaction! "

"Although David Silva's long-range shot was sudden, Martinez was very focused and did not give Manchester City a chance to shoot a cold arrow!"

"At the beginning of the game, both sides tried a sudden attack, but Manchester City's effect was better."

"This long-range shot also shows that David Silva's long-range shooting is in hot form. Arsenal cannot let David Silva kick at will in such a dangerous place."

Manchester City put great pressure on them at the beginning of the second half.

In this regard, Arsenal became slightly nervous.

However, they still have confidence in their defense and this was just an accident.

Next time, they won't let David Silva start suddenly.

Manchester City's corner kick tactics were ruined by Arsenal.

Based on this destruction, Arsenal also quickly launched a counterattack.

Dembe came close to 10 meters away and hit the goal directly.

The shot flew quickly toward the near corner and bounced off the ground, making it difficult to predict the location.

But Moraes still used his body to resist and avoid any accidents.

After Manchester City took the lead, Arsenal immediately responded!
