Chapter 228 Hat-trick victory over Arsenal, all fans stood up and applauded!

"Ozil's move is very irrational. The position where Lin Quan took the ball just now is still far away from Arsenal's goal. There is no need for such a foul!"

In the commentary box, He Wei shook his head and expressed that he could not understand Ozil's behavior.

"I think he probably wants to retaliate for Lin Quan's previous tackle, right?"

Xu Yang, who is a player, can somewhat understand Ozil's mentality. Players sometimes cannot control their emotions on the field.

"It is clear that he has paid the price for his impulsive and reckless behavior, which has put Arsenal in a desperate situation.

Although we always say that football is round, it is impossible for Arsenal to come back when they are two goals behind and one player less. "

Both of them felt it was a pity that such a strong duel was completely lost due to Ozil's irrational foul.

This may be difficult news for Arsenal fans to accept.

But for the Manchester City players, seeing this goal, they should be completely relieved.

The first half ended quickly. During the intermission, Wenger comforted the players and encouraged them to continue working hard and strive to create miracles.

Arsenal, who faced the challenge with ten men, had no other choice but to play defensive counterattack.

After the start of the second half, Arsenal made personnel adjustments.

Wenger chose to replace Giroud and replace him with Cazorla.

After losing the support of the midfield, Giroud simply couldn't catch the ball in the frontcourt.

Rather than letting him sit in the frontcourt, it would be better to replace him with an organizational midfielder. In this case, he might be able to seize the opportunity to counterattack and steal one or two goals.

Originally this was just a substitution made out of desperation after Ozil was sent off. Unexpectedly, after Cazorla came on, Arsenal's counterattack became sharper.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Arsenal seized on a mistake by Manchester City. After stealing the ball in the backcourt, Cazorla completed a wide-range transfer.

The ball was like a precision-guided missile, accurately finding Walcott who was running at high speed in the frontcourt.

Manchester City has been attacking Arsenal's goal since the start of the second half. At this time, the backcourt is so empty that it can be a horse race.

This gave Walcott plenty of space to start and accelerate, allowing him to quickly increase his speed to the extreme after receiving the ball.

Walcott, who was at full speed, was very scary. Demichelis only had time to make a move when he felt an afterimage flash in front of his eyes. When he looked carefully, Walcott had disappeared from in front of him. .

After using the smash to get past Demichelis's interception, Walcott directly chose to take a shot.

This shot was very tricky, and Joe Hart tried his best but still couldn't make the save.

Arsenal actually recovered a goal with one less player, and Walcott scored twice at the Etihad Stadium.

"GOOOAL!!"

"The game is not over yet, Walcott scores another goal and he saves Arsenal from the brink!"

Seeing this goal from Little Tiger, Wenger on the sidelines was extremely excited.

Regardless of his usual elegant image, he clenched his fists with a ferocious expression and trembled with excitement.

The little tiger was even more excited than him. He ran back from the frontcourt and jumped on Cazorla's body in excitement.

He was able to score this goal, and more than half of the credit goes to Cazorla. Without Cazorla's precise and guided pass, Walcott would not have been able to score even if he broke his leg. Got such a good opportunity.

"Well done Theo!"

"Well done!"

"Cum so good!"

The Arsenal players also rushed forward and hugged Walcott and Cazorla excitedly to celebrate.

"There is still time in the game, let's score one more!"

Ramsey glanced at the time on the scoreboard and said to his teammates.

"Hey, I feel like I can score two!"

Walcott, who scored twice, was so confident that he felt like a god on the court and could do almost anything.

"Haha, if you can score four goals at the Etihad Stadium, then you will completely outperform the No. 10 opposite!"

Flamini rubbed Walcott's head and said with a smile.

"Haha, of course, our little tiger is better than that guy!"

"Yes, I've always thought so!"

Listening to what his teammates said, Cazorla hesitated, hesitated, and finally sighed in his heart without saying anything that would throw cold water on him.

As someone who has been teammates with both Theo Walcott and Lin, Cazorla knows the strength of the two more than anyone else in the Arsenal team.

Walcott is indeed very powerful. A speedy winger like him is like a sharp sword on the court. When used properly, it will be infinitely powerful.

But Lin Quan is different from him. Lin Quan is almost omnipotent in the frontcourt. He is like a Gundam. He has no shortcomings and is terrifyingly strong in every aspect!

This can be seen from the data of the two in the league and Champions League games!

However, saying this kind of thing hurts morale, and might even offend Walcott.

So Cazorla held back.

Arsenal's second goal surprised Manchester City a little, but their position was not disrupted.

After the game restarted, Manchester City continued to organize their offense in an orderly manner.

Lin Quan acts as an organizer in the frontcourt, mobilizing Arsenal's defense through passing and breakthrough. As long as the opponent shows a flaw, he can seize it, send a very threatening pass, and create opportunities for his teammates.

This made Arsenal's situation continue to fall into a passive situation, and it became more and more passive, as if someone had put a hundreds of kilograms of iron chains around their necks, and they were so oppressed that they almost couldn't breathe.

"Lin's organizational skills are stronger than I imagined!"

When Wenger saw this scene, he couldn't help but admired in his heart.

Just a part-time organizer, Lin Quan's organizational talents and abilities have already surpassed Ozil's.

In terms of offensive attributes, Lin Quan completely surpassed Ozil.

What kind of luck did Manchester City have to be able to sign a player of this level!

Wenger is almost jealous to death!

"Did I read that correctly? Is Manchester City playing Barcelona's passing football?"

"Looks like it is!"

"It feels like Arsenal is about to be hanged to death by the opponent!"

"Yeah, this is too suffocating. It doesn't feel good if it goes on like this!"

The fans' intuition was very accurate. After more than ten minutes of passing, Arsenal's players gradually couldn't keep up with Manchester City's passing rhythm.

Moreover, this kind of pass-and-control football is very hypnotic, making it difficult for defensive players to maintain a high degree of concentration.

And once their attention drops, they will expose flaws to the other party.

In the 76th minute, Manchester City played smooth cooperation in the frontcourt. After many passes, the football came to Lin Quan's feet.

Lin Quan had already entered Arsenal's penalty area without knowing it.

Arsenal's defense was already in some disarray at this time. When the players saw the football coming to Lin Quan's feet, they all rushed toward him in panic.

Lin Quan moved the ball horizontally, swung it to an angle, and then tried to hit the goal.

Mertesacker, Koscielny and others raised their legs almost simultaneously to block the ball.

However, when they raised their legs, they found that the opponent had not shot. It was just a fake move.

The ball has been passed to the space on the right side of Arsenal's penalty area!

David Silva appeared here and scored with ease, rewriting the score to 4:2.

Arsenal, which had just taken a step towards the cliff, was kicked back by Manchester City again.

After the goal was scored, Wenger sat down on the coaching bench, heartbroken.

He knew that his team was finished.

Pellegrini smiled and applauded the team. Even he, the head coach, was excited to see this kind of cooperation.

Just want this effect!

Two goals ahead and the game was approaching eighty minutes.

Pellegrini decided to make a substitution. He replaced Aguero and replaced Navas.

Yaya Toure was replaced and replaced by Xavi Garcia.

Spanish players are better at passing and controlling football. Replacing Garcia can free Lin Quan from organizational work to a certain extent and devote more to offense!

Walcott scored two goals. As Manchester City's number one star, how could Lin Quan score fewer goals than his opponent?

After the two Spanish players came on the field, Manchester City's passing football became more and more smooth.

Arsenal's players are a little desperate, it feels like they are meeting Barcelona in the Champions League!

Five years with Bayern, three years with Barcelona!

For Arsenal fans, the last thing they want to encounter in the Champions League is these two teams.

Last season, Arsenal was eliminated by Bayern and stopped in the top 16.

As for the number of times he has fallen at Barcelona's feet, there are even more.

etc!

Our group qualified second and Barcelona appeared first in the group. We won't face Barcelona again in the knockout stage, right?

When thinking of this, Arsenal fans suddenly felt nervous, and they were a little worried about the draw for the upcoming Champions League group stage.

After Garcia and Navas came on the court, they did not do anything else but feed Lin Quan the ball.

They would rather not score a goal themselves, but also help the team boss get more data.

His teammates were so enthusiastic that Lin Quan was too embarrassed to refuse.

In the 85th minute of the game, Lin Quan received a pass from Navas, shook off the defender, and succeeded in pushing the ball, helping the team expand the score to 5:2.

This goal was also his second goal of the game. Like Walcott, Lin Quan also scored twice.

"hat trick!"

"One more!"

The Manchester City fans at the scene seemed to think it was not enough, and they were all booing, allowing Lin Quan to score another goal to complete the hat trick.

Lin Quan originally refused, but the younger brothers were too desperate.

In the 90th minute of the game, Nasri was tripped by an Arsenal player after dribbling the ball into the penalty area.

The referee awarded a penalty kick. Nasri quickly got up from the ground and gave the penalty kick opportunity to Lin Quan.

Although he is not Spanish but French, he obviously understands who is the big brother in the team.

Lin Quan had no choice but to smile at his teammates being so polite.

Seeing Lin Quan walk to the penalty spot, Wenger was already in despair.

He wanted to put his frozen right hand into his pocket, but he couldn't.

The pocket was clearly close at hand, but it seemed as if the door was closed to him.

Wenger repeated this action of inserting his pocket seven or eight times, and even the camera at the scene noticed this, captured the professor's embarrassment, and publicly executed him on the big screen.

The Manchester City fans at the scene suddenly burst into laughter. Wenger's face was ashen, he turned around, returned to the coaching bench and sat down.

As Lin Quan made a steady penalty, the score became 6:2.

Subsequently, Pellegrini used the last substitution and replaced Lin Quan during injury time, allowing him to accept the cheers of the fans at the scene.

When Lin Quan came off the field, he applauded in the stands and thanked the fans for their enthusiastic support.

The Manchester City fans also stood up collectively and gave Lin Quan warm applause.

They really love Lin Quan to death. Every time they come to watch a game at home, as long as they see Lin Quan play, they will feel full of security in their hearts!

Not long after Lin Quan came off the field, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Arsenal at home, not only defending their top position, but also continuing their legend of winning at home.

Lin Quan, who scored a hat trick in the game, also completed his comprehensive suppression of Walcott.

After this game, any rational and objective fan will no longer have any doubts about who is stronger or weaker between Walcott and Lin Quan.

However, the little tiger himself seemed unconvinced. After all, he really scored a goal at the Etihad Stadium, and scored two more. This was considered as completing his pre-match bragging.

"Hmph, it's just that your teammates are more powerful. If I had teammates as strong as you, the outcome of the game would be a matter of two seconds!"

After the game, Arsenal's players were generally very disappointed.

Before playing against Manchester City, they still had some luck in their hearts and felt that there was not much gap between them and Manchester City.

However, after actually playing against Manchester City, they had to admit that Manchester City was indeed better than them.

And it's not even a little bit better. If nothing else, there is no player like Lin Quan in their team.

At the thought of competing for the championship with such a team, Arsenal's players are generally a little unsure.

The opponents have been unbeaten in 16 rounds. If you include the Champions League and cup competitions, they have been unbeaten in 24 games.

They don't know how to defeat such a powerful opponent, especially when they are 9 points behind. If they want to win the championship, they can only hope that Manchester City collapses.

"Don't be discouraged. The season is still long. Losing a game doesn't mean anything. We still have a chance."

Wenger saw that the morale of the players was generally low and gave them hugs one by one to comfort them.

One bad thing about Arsenal is that the players are generally too young.

Young players have poor mental endurance and are prone to ups and downs in mentality. This is one of the reasons why Arsenal collapses in the second half of every year.

Of course, another reason is that the lineup is too thin. Once the main players are injured, Arsenal's record will plummet.

As Arsenal's financial situation improves, Wenger has more money.

He has begun to change this situation. Spending 50 million euros to introduce Ozil in the summer was a signal that Arsenal finally had the money to spend heavily in the transfer market.

As the winter break approaches, the professor who wants to continue to strengthen the team plans to continue to take action and buy a powerful forward or winger.

Barcelona's Sanchez and Liverpool's Suarez both meet his requirements.

However, the prices of these two players are not cheap. Suarez's price may be more than 40 million pounds.

For Sanchez, it is probably similar. It is estimated that it will be difficult to bring him back to the Emirates Stadium from Barcelona without 50 million euros.

But Wenger also has a way. He had contact with Suarez's agent in the summer.

The other party told him that there was a clause in the contract between Liverpool and Suarez that as long as other teams offered more than 40 million pounds, Suarez could be taken away.

Wenger was doubtful about this. Suarez was suspended for biting someone before, which led to him not buying him in the summer.

After all, if he bought it, Suarez would not be able to play in the first ten league games at all, and Arsenal would have to pay two and a half months' salary in vain.

So he gave priority to the midfielder and bought Ozil from Real Madrid. He planned to wait until Suarez's suspension was lifted and decide whether to buy him based on his performance on the court.

It now seems that although Suarez acted irrationally on the court, his personal strength is still very strong.

After he returned from the ban, Suarez scored 10 goals in 6 games, and his scoring efficiency was directly catching up with Manchester City's core Lin Quan.

If he hadn't been suspended for 10 games earlier, maybe he could compete with Lin Quan for the Premier League Golden Boot this season.

Suarez's outstanding performance made the professor determined.

He plans to continue to contact Suarez's agent after the winter window begins, trying to persuade Suarez to join Arsenal.

After all, there is no Champions League for him to play in Liverpool, and although Arsenal is a four-place finisher, they can enter the Champions League every year. From this point of view, they are at least much better than Liverpool.

As for Suarez's offer, Wenger plans to give it a try with 40 million pounds to see if there is really a so-called 40 million pound clause in the contract between Liverpool and Suarez!

If Suarez can really be bought at this price, Arsenal will really take off.
