Chapter 427 Pressure and Enthusiasm

woohoo!

When the free kick fell into the net, there was a flood of applause in the Amir stadium. i
Ten seconds ago, after learning that Manchester City was ahead of Reading, the atmosphere in this stadium was silent and depressing, and the fans were extremely frustrated.

However, just ten seconds later, thanks to this wonderful rainbow arc, thanks to this timely goal, the frustration of the fans was swept away.

Lively, noisy, excited, these beautiful emotions returned to the Emirates Stadium.

Bell's goal was like a shot in the arm, cheering everyone up again!
1: 0!

Not only Manchester City can take the lead, but our Arsenal also took the lead!
After Bell helped the team take the lead, Arsenal's real-time league points also reached 83 points, only one point away from Manchester City.

If the process of fighting for the championship is a marathon, and Manchester City is currently in the leading position of No.1, then Arsenal is the team that bites them tightly and follows them all the time.

In this long championship marathon, the end is already in sight.

Currently, Manchester City is still in the lead.

However, the distance between Arsenal behind them and them is only one position!

The breath can be heard, and the footsteps are heard.

At this moment, not only the chasers are under pressure, but also the frontrunners are under tremendous pressure!
If the chaser loses stamina, he will lose the opportunity to overtake the leader.However, if the front-runners show their flaws, they will also lose their lead and fall from the top favorite of the championship, and finally win nothing.

From within reach of the champion to nothing in the end, such a psychological gap is ten times, or even a hundred times greater than that of a laggard trying to reverse without success!
Therefore, every time Arsenal approached Manchester City strongly, the heavy pressure would overwhelm Manchester City. i
"Arsenal 1:0 Wigan Athletic, goal scored by: Wales, time: 1st minute!"

Shortly after Bale scored a goal, Manchester City's field was empty in that game, and Arsenal's leading goal also appeared.

Mancini stood anxiously on the sidelines, looking at the prompt on the scoreboard, the pressure in his heart was like a mountain!
The match in midweek was related to the ownership of the FA Cup, and the opponent in the final was the powerful Liverpool, which made it impossible for Manchester City to retain their strength.

In the end, although they defeated Liverpool and won the FA Cup as they wished, it also made their main players consume a lot of energy.

Today, in this championship game, Mancini made a small rotation just to be on the safe side.

In the early stage of the game, when the physical decline of the players was not obvious, Manchester City still had the upper hand in the scene, and Balotelli scored the leading goal.

However, once the game enters the middle and late stages?

You must know that Manchester City also has many main players who are not rotated.

Main players like Yaya Toure, David Silva, Aguero, Kompany, etc., as long as there is no injury, they basically have to play the whole game.

After a season of hard work, especially the 120-minute decisive battle in the middle of the week, whether their physical fitness will have problems in the next game time, Mancini himself can't say for sure.

What's more, after falling behind by one goal, Reading not only did not give up the game, but instead launched a more desperate press. Many large-scale defensive actions emerged one after another, which also made Mancini feel very worried.

If this game is lost, Reading may be relegated early.

Therefore, when the score is behind, their players are like a group of wounded wolves, full of aggressiveness.Even at the cost of a card, they have to stop Manchester City's offense, burn the battle to the opponent's half, and keep trying to get the score back.

In fact, not only the Reading players started to work hard, but even their fans fell into a frenzy.

In the stands, countless Reading fans were standing and watching the game. i They don't sit down as long as the game is going on.

The fans chanted slogans neatly and clapped rhythmically.Whenever a Reading player gets the ball, they spare no effort to send encouragement; and whenever a Manchester City player gets the ball, or whenever the referee whistles them for a foul, the fans will boo mercilessly.

Such a home atmosphere is simply terrifying.

Standing on the sidelines, Mancini felt like his eardrums were about to burst.The loud noises, coupled with the pressure of Arsenal's pursuit, made him feel irritable from time to time.

Moreover, due to the interference of fans, Mancini is not even sure how much the players on the field can hear his anxious command from the sidelines.

It's a hellish environment.

Mancini was a little distraught.

Especially when he watched Balotelli chasing the opponent's player to retaliate and shovel, he was even more upset.

Because of being provoked by his opponent several times, Bashen was very upset.

Bashen is very upset, and both the opponent and the team may suffer.

In the 35th minute of the game, Bashen seized an opportunity and tackled the defender who pestered him from behind, avenging the previous harassment.

When the referee blew his whistle to suspend the game, Balotelli still faced the boos of the audience and pretended to be innocent.

It's a pity that it's useless to be cute in a football field.

In the end, Bashen still got a yellow card.

And, because of this foul, Bashen officially received the Diamond VI treatment.Whenever he got the ball, more than 2 home fans would collectively boo him enthusiastically.

After Manchester City and Arsenal scored goals one after another, both games entered a stalemate.

At the Emirates Stadium, the Arsenal players were still working hard for the team's second goal.

As their opponent in this game, Wigan Athletic still maintains their meek style, defending unhurriedly.Judging from the mentality of their players, no one can see that they are the one that is falling behind.

Compared with that one-man show, the game at the Madejski Stadium was obviously much more intense.

City needed a second goal to cement their advantage and Reading showed no sign of weakness.In order to keep their qualifications to stay in the Premier League, in order to be the last train to relegation, they played against Manchester City openly.

Although there is a gap in player ability, they work harder, are fiercer, and are braver.

Relying on the shouts of [-] fans, the soldiers of Reading took the lead bravely and used their fighting spirit to make up for the gap in their strength.

The championship is a battle with invisible gunpowder, and relegation is also a cruel war with open swords and guns.

In order to be able to successfully stay on the stage of the highest level of English football, Reading players are full of blood and fearless.

It is precisely because of their tireless struggle that the big-name players in Manchester City feel very headache.

Although the scenes of the two games are in a stalemate, it is obvious that Manchester City is under much greater pressure than Arsenal.

As the game time passed, the physical fitness of Manchester City and Reading players began to decline.

Due to the 120-minute game in the middle of the week, the physical fitness of Manchester City players will decline slightly faster.However, the physical consumption of Reading players is also not because of their "mad dog" press, which consumes more physical energy than Manchester City players.

When the physical fitness of the players of both teams has dropped significantly, the test of the game is not only the ability level of the players on both sides, but also the fighting spirit and winning of both sides.

To put it simply, at this stage of the game, the competition is all about the enthusiasm of the players!

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the one who fights to the last moment is the final winner!
When the game progressed to the 40th minute, although the team was still behind, the Reading fans were not discouraged.

The game lasted 40 minutes, and they stood in the stands for 40 minutes!

The 40-minute roar made the throats of those loyal fans a little hoarse.However, like their own team, they never stopped fighting!

It is with the fanatical support of the home fans that the Reading players are full of motivation.

Even in the face of those high-paying and high-powered football superstars in Manchester City, the poor are willing to die, and they must also be pulled down!
It was in the 40th minute that, through non-stop running, the Reading player succeeded in stealing the ball in Manchester City's backcourt!
Soon, they launched a quick counterattack on the spot, and quickly passed the football to the Manchester City penalty area.

Just 1 minute before the Reading player succeeded in stealing the ball, at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners' offense also made a breakthrough.

Taking advantage of the decline in physical fitness of Wigan Athletic players, Arsenal launched a quick attack.

Wilshere passed a scalpel-like through ball, and Podolski calmly countered offside successfully.Using his speed, he quickly dribbled the ball inside and quickly approached the opponent's penalty area.

When he was about to take the ball into the penalty area, the Wigan Athletic player chasing back had to take a foul.

The whistle blew and Arsenal got another free kick!
This is Arsenal's fifth free kick in the frontcourt in the half, and it is also the second opportunity for a set kick in a good position.

Like the previous one, their captain Bell took the free kick as a matter of course.

Due to Li Yuxin's absence due to injury, Bell wore the Gunners' captain's armband in this game.At the beginning of the game, it was precisely because of Wales' goal that Arsenal withstood the pressure, gained the initiative of the game, and continued to put pressure on Manchester City.

Now, Arsenal have another free kick chance, can the captain lead them to move on?
Li Yuxin looked at the little monkey off the court, full of confidence in his heart, come on little monkey!
And Wenger also looked at Bell who was walking towards the penalty spot, and said silently, Gareth, come on!
