Zhao Gang got the ball and glanced at Arsenal's defense. There were almost no good passing routes, so he could only dribble forward a few steps. Soon, Welbeck and Walcott began to press.

Although Welbeck was the sharp knife at the very front, in this game, he was clearly retreating very deep to participate in defensive support.

The main offensive routes should be on both sides.

That's why Wenger left Giroud on the bench.

As soon as Zhao Gang kicked the ball away, the two rushed over with very obvious physical contact.

In this game, the defense against Zhao Gang wasn't just Ramsey and Xhaka, but also the support of Welbeck and Walcott.

At least from the start, it seemed this defense could effectively contain Zhao Gang.

It was difficult for him to break through quickly after receiving the ball, and he probably could only dismantle Arsenal's defense through passing.

Manchester City's players began to move forward to their positions.

This was what they practiced the most. Every player had their own defensive and offensive zones, waiting for the ball to arrive and then passing it out.

Non-stop passing and pulling.

Arsenal's two wing-backs would also retreat to the front of the defense when defending, giving the defensive line a very good sense of layering.

Even Zhao Gang found it difficult to break through the defense.

Manchester City couldn't penetrate Arsenal's defense in a short period of time.

"Fernandinho and Zhao Gang have both moved up, and Arsenal has a lot of players in their half."

"Kompany has also gone up, leaving only Stones and Bravo in the entire backfield. Two minutes into the game, Manchester City has almost surrounded Arsenal in their half.

This doesn't look like an away game, it looks like they're on their home turf."

The Arsenal fans in the entire Emirates Stadium were cheering wildly for their team.

There was even inspiring drumming.

Arsenal's players were focused. Although they were being pressed in their own half, they were not discouraged. They kept trying to steal the ball from Manchester City's players.

"Welbeck is retreating very deep, constantly following Zhao Gang. This forward doesn't seem to be planning to use his opportunities for counterattacks, he's being used as a center back!

Fernandinho, Clichy… pass to Sane, this ball is lost!

Bellerín makes a very alert steal!

Sane counter-presses, but Bellerín uses his speed to get rid of him directly. His individual ability is quite good.

Manchester City's players must quickly retreat to their positions!

There's only Stones in the backfield!"

The fans in the stadium made a cheering sound that threatened to overturn the stadium.

Bellerín picked up speed and cut inside to the middle before Clichy could slide tackle.

Ramsey, Chamberlain, Walcott, and Sánchez were advancing side by side!

In a short time, Arsenal launched a large-scale counterattack!

Bellerín, who successfully cut inside, made a cross pass to Chamberlain, causing the Manchester City player who rushed to the middle to intercept to miss.

Chamberlain picked up speed, but Kyle Walker's defense was very solid. He not only kept up with Chamberlain, preventing him from cutting inside, but also almost knocked Chamberlain out of bounds.

Knowing that it would be difficult for him to succeed in a one-on-one against Kyle Walker, Chamberlain quickly made a small pass back to Xhaka, and then quickly moved forward again.

Xhaka dribbled the ball all the way forward, and Zhao Gang rushed over from behind him. Before he could extend his foot to steal, Xhaka made a long pass to Ramsey.

Ramsey's individual ability is very outstanding.

He dribbled the ball towards the edge of the penalty area!

Manchester City's retreat speed was also fast enough. Fernandinho had already intercepted him in front, and behind him were Kompany and Stones.

Although there weren't many defenders, they were enough to limit Ramsey's breakthrough.

Moreover, after Sánchez and Walcott rushed into the penalty area, they were already in an offside position, and Ramsey couldn't pass the ball at all.

Kompany and Stones didn't coordinate particularly well. Seeing Sánchez running back, wanting to counter the offside trap, Kompany quickly moved up, but Stones was a step slower.

They misunderstood each other!

Sánchez made a reverse run, rushed into the left side of the penalty area, and reached out for the ball at the same time.

Ramsey made a lob pass, and the ball reached Sánchez's feet!

Kompany and Stones instantly raised their hands to signal offside, but of course, they also tried their best to stop him.

Sánchez didn't care whether he was offside or not, and made a violent shot!

The ball went straight to the far corner!

Bravo was out of reach.

The ball flew into the net!

In the third minute of the game, Ramsey assisted Sánchez in scoring a goal!

The entire Emirates Stadium instantly exploded!

Huge flags began to fly, and the roars and cheers of the Arsenal fans broke through the clouds.

Goal!

A goal was scored three minutes into the game!

The first counterattack, the first shot, took the lead!

"Come on! Arsenal!"

"Champion! Champion!!!"

"Beat Manchester City!"

The sound of "champion" resounded throughout the stadium.

After scoring, Sánchez didn't celebrate, but kept waving his hands to indicate that he wasn't offside.

Kompany ran quickly to the sidelines to argue with the linesman.

The linesman shook his head, indicating that he wasn't offside.

Kompany spread his hands, his face full of urgency, "It was definitely offside!"

How could it not be offside?

How many years have I been playing football? Don't I know if he's offside?

The referee pointed to the center circle, and Sánchez finally celebrated with Walcott and Ramsey.

"This ball… from the replay, Stones was lagging behind, and Sánchez was not offside when he started!

But… but there's a problem here. Walcott is in an offside position, and he's in front of Sánchez, blocking Bravo's view!

Although Walcott didn't receive the ball, according to the current offside standards, Walcott, as an attacking player, interfered with the judgment of the defending players, so this is indeed an offside goal.

But the VAR referee doesn't think this ball is offside.

This ball is definitely controversial.

The referee has confirmed that the goal is valid, so Manchester City can only accept this result!"

Guardiola on the sidelines kept jumping and complaining madly to the fourth official.

How did this referee get his certificate?

Walcott is standing there, and you don't care?

He's offside by a whole body length, aren't you going to call it?

Wenger, seeing that the goal was valid, clenched his fists forcefully, his eyes bright and energetic.

There's a chance, a very big chance!

At this time, Zhao Gang also exchanged a few words with the referee.

The referee pressed his hands down, nodded slightly, and then blew his whistle, signaling Manchester City to kick off from the center circle.

Manchester City suffered a setback at the start, and the players could only accept this reality.

In the stands, Oly, who had come to the Emirates Stadium with her family and friends, pouted, frowned, and almost cursed. This was accurately captured by the camera.

"This English beauty, Oly, is a very famous model and also Zhao Gang's girlfriend. She's very beautiful and has a first-class figure!" Zhan Lu, known as the know-it-all of the Premier League, directly stated Oly's identity the moment he saw the camera.

"She met Zhao Gang at an event for the same brand. It's said that Oly took the initiative to pursue Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang's charm is still quite strong."

"Damn, she's so pretty?"

"Little Zhao is doing well, riding a foreign horse."

"With this kind of girlfriend, he can still perform so well? That's amazing?"

"If it were me, my legs would have gone weak a long time ago! What football would I be playing?"

"Why did he find a foreigner?"

"That's right, there are so many beauties in China, why did he go abroad to find a girlfriend?"

"Won't he join English citizenship in the future?"

"It's very possible. One pillow talk, and he'll be immediately confused."

"Zhao Gang is only nineteen years old, he doesn't have enough willpower, he's very likely to be influenced. This woman is probably a spy sent by England!"

When the Dragon Country fans saw Oly and that Manchester City had conceded a goal, they didn't discuss the game, but directly shifted the topic to Oly.

"You people, you're really saying nasty things!"

"You don't know the truth, and you just talk nonsense. You're simply throwing dirty water on people. This beauty is amazing. If it weren't for her, Zhao Gang might have really joined England and played for England."

"Ah??"

"That's right, that's right, you're Zhao Gang fans, but you're all just watching the excitement. Zhao Gang said in an interview before that Oly gave him a lot of support and help, which strengthened his determination to return to China and join the Dragon Country team."

"Southgate gave Zhao Gang very generous conditions, hoping that Zhao Gang could join the English national football team. When Zhao Gang was a little hesitant, Oly not only didn't try to influence him to join England, but instead made Zhao Gang firm in his beliefs and fulfill his dreams!"

"Because of this, many English fans have attacked Oly, believing that Oly betrayed England!"

"This beauty is so sensible?"

"She's really in love, okay? None of you can compare to her, so be careful what you say."

"Perfect! Not only is her appearance outstanding, but her inner qualities are even more excellent! I, representing the people of Shanbei, agree to this marriage!"

……

At this time, on the field, Zhao Gang didn't have a particularly good solution.

Especially Welbeck, this guy seemed to have completely given up on attacking and was watching Zhao Gang at all times.

Moreover, Arsenal's defense was very good. The center was particularly tight, making it difficult to find opportunities.

If he wanted to find opportunities from the two sides, the wing-backs would instantly disengage from the central defense and increase the number of defenders on the sides.

Zhao Gang tried to break through several times, but all ended in failure. His teammates also found it difficult to run into decent positions.

Although he found two opportunities in front of the penalty area, his long-range shots didn't result in goals.

Moreover, Arsenal abandoned beautiful football and increased physical contact.

The referee didn't blow his whistle, as if he approved of this intensity of the game.

The two teams, which should have been playing flowing, fluid attacks through smooth cooperation, were vaguely showing a tendency to engage in a brawl.

This wasn't a league game, but a final where the winner takes all.

Therefore, Arsenal's tactics changed, making the Manchester City players a little unaccustomed to it.

Seeing their players defending hard and constantly engaging in physical confrontations, the cheers in the Emirates Stadium rose higher and higher.

Champion!

Champion!

Champion!

The loud shouts and cheers of tens of thousands of fans were overwhelming.

The Arsenal players, as if injected with chicken blood, saw the dawn of victory.

Using their physical strength, they sprinted across the field.

Most of the time, there was no one left in Arsenal's forward line.

After scoring, Arsenal became more determined in their style of play.

Defense! Win against Manchester City through defense!
