That ball found almost the only possible route, otherwise, Mertesacker would have intercepted it.

Aguero also showed his extraordinary positioning and shooting skills.

The Manchester City players ran over and gathered together to celebrate.

The only one who might be a little unhappy, or rather, jealous, was Sterling.

As a winger with very strong attacking ability, he originally had a very important tactical value in Manchester City.

Unfortunately, due to the presence of Zhao Gang and De Bruyne, and now with the arrival of Sane, his tactical value has been greatly reduced.

It seems that he needs to practice his shooting skills more and can't waste opportunities casually anymore.

"What kind of defense is Arsenal playing? A couple of breakthroughs and a through ball goes right through??"

"Played pretty well in the League Cup final, huh??"

"What the hell?? A goal conceded in two minutes?"

"Little Zhao is still fierce. Last game, Ramsey, Xhaka, and Welbeck defended him together. This game, Little Zhao didn't let them surround him and passed the ball out!"

"Trying to defeat Zhao Gang with the same method is still too difficult!"

"Zhao Gang's little breakthrough is like a bulldozer. This through ball is a gifted ability! This one pass is enough for other players to practice for several years!"

"Zhao Gang is awesome! Where are the Arsenal fans? Just because you defended him last game doesn't mean you can do it this game!

Zhao Gang keeps improving, but what about Arsenal??"

"I still like the current Manchester City, a fatal blow! Guardiola's tactics are complicated and make people sleepy, but with Zhao Gang, the game becomes exciting all of a sudden!"

"It's easy for you to say, brother. Doesn't Guardiola want to win easily? The key is that not everyone can break through and pass like that! Barcelona of the Dream Team also controlled the ball, can you say that wasn't exciting?"

"Guardiola's tactics are the most stable. Now with Zhao Gang, there are more tactical options, and the game isn't as boring as before.

The pace is flying!"

"I'm really looking forward to Manchester City meeting Barcelona. Barcelona, please don't get eliminated by Dortmund..."

Arsenal kicked off from the center circle.

Manchester City players prepared for defense.

Welbeck passed the ball to Ramsey, who passed it to Xhaka for continuous organization.

Arsenal had only conceded one goal, and there was still plenty of time, so they weren't too anxious.

Ramsey dribbled forward, De Bruyne interfered, and the ball went back to Xhaka.

Xhaka took two steps forward, looked at his attacking teammates, and then passed the ball forward, preparing to find Walcott.

But his passing intention was too obvious.

First, he took a look, and then he swung his leg and pushed forward with force.

Any normal person could see the trick in this kind of ball.

Zhao Gang started immediately and competed with Walcott, who was running quickly to meet the ball.

Zhao Gang took a step ahead and blocked the position, then used his body to block Walcott. When Walcott tried to interfere and grab the ball, Zhao Gang poked the ball away.

Walcott made constant small movements behind him, pulling and tugging, but still couldn't stop Zhao Gang!

Zhao Gang ran a few steps to the front of the ball, leading the ball quickly forward!

Whoosh!!

Manchester City's counterattack!

The fans in the stands exclaimed and cheered.

This midfield interception was clean and neat.

There was a mistake in the cooperation between Xhaka and Walcott. They were annoyed and chased after Zhao Gang desperately.

Ramsey looked up and saw Zhao Gang appearing on his defensive route.

He gritted his teeth, feeling a little flustered, but still went to defend him.

So what if he gets past? So what if he loses face!

Just as Ramsey was about to pull away a certain distance to prevent Zhao Gang from breaking through, Zhao Gang had already arrived in front of him. Zhao Gang dribbled the ball with the outside of his left foot, and his shoulder sank.

All of Ramsey's defensive experience vanished at that moment.

His first thought was that Zhao Gang was going to poke the ball out and forcibly overtake him from his right side with speed!

Because this was Zhao Gang's most common method!

Ramsey directly shifted his center of gravity to the right, preparing to cut off Zhao Gang's breakthrough!

This was the psychological shadow that appeared after Zhao Gang broke through him several times in a row.

As a midfielder who was not outstanding in defense, it was difficult to control his actions at this time, so he could only gamble and pounce to the right!

How could he have imagined that Zhao Gang would sink his shoulder, push with his left foot, and the ball would go directly to the right. After a small pendulum, Zhao Gang's center of gravity would also shift to the right, appearing on Ramsey's left.

Ramsey, who was pouncing to the right, realized Zhao Gang's feint halfway through his movement and forced himself to change his center of gravity.

His left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell straight down, like a corpse. Even a professional Peking opera actor would have to practice for three to five years to achieve this level.

Chamberlain rushed over quickly from the wing. Mertesacker didn't wait behind this time, but went forward directly to block.

He had to close the distance between himself and Zhao Gang, limit Zhao Gang's speed, and buy time for his teammates to build a new defense line.

Zhao Gang, who was facing a double team, did not continue to dribble forward, because Bellerin had also given up his defensive area and pounced over.

Zhao Gang pushed the ball diagonally, directly to De Bruyne on the wing!

All of the midfield defense was attracted by Zhao Gang!

De Bruyne took the ball and sprinted forward?

Holding was on the inside, preparing to block De Bruyne's cut inside.

But De Bruyne never needed to cut inside, he made a ground pass.

De Bruyne's arc reappeared!

Mertesacker, who gave up defending Zhao Gang at the first moment, made a sliding tackle, and the ball passed his toes, curving into the penalty area!

Sane, who saw De Bruyne running to the wing to pull away, had already rushed to the front, waiting!

Sane kicked the ball in before Aguero and Monreal!

Near post, dead corner.

Ospina had no choice.

The ball was too fast, there was no reaction time at all!

Two to zero!

Less than four minutes into the game!

Arsenal's midfield made a passing error, Zhao Gang broke through with the ball, causing chaos in Arsenal's midfield.

After receiving the ball, De Bruyne made a god-level cross, and Sane scored with one kick!

After Sane scored, he slid on his knees out of the sideline.

In the entire Manchester City team, Sane and Jesus were the most passionate in their celebrations.

Zhao Gang never slid on his knees to celebrate, except in the national team, and he rarely roared to the sky.

De Bruyne's celebration was similar to that of an amateur league, and Aguero was passionate enough, but most of the time he just shouted a couple of times at the sky.

Manchester City fans couldn't believe that the second goal came so quickly!

A quick interception and a perfect counterattack.

Without any delay!

In less than five minutes, Manchester City was leading by two goals!

The excited Manchester City fans howled, not knowing how to celebrate.

Intense applause rang out, and the Manchester City fans' faces turned red as they grinned.

Guardiola stood up straight and applauded vigorously.

If he could score two goals like this at the start of the League Cup final, would he still have to rack his brains?

Wenger kicked a bottle of mineral water onto the bench in anger. The Arsenal substitutes all looked solemn and lost the mood to talk.

It was too tragic.

Who would have thought that Arsenal, who had played back and forth with Manchester City less than a month ago, suppressed Manchester City, and almost cost Manchester City the championship, would be so vulnerable this time?

A blitz at the start, and then another blitz.

Was there no end to it?

"Damn, four and a half minutes! What's wrong with Arsenal??"

"They're swollen, their faces are swollen from being beaten."

"They're just paper tigers, worthless!"

"Ramsey's defense is worse than a piece of wood, at least it can't fall!"

"Zhao Gang's breakthrough is really unsolvable! You need at least two people to block him!"

"As soon as Xhaka attacks, there's only one left to defend Zhao Gang. If he gets intercepted, there's going to be big trouble."

"Ramsey trembles when he sees Zhao Gang now. His defense is too stiff, he just pounces to one side, completely ignoring whether Zhao Gang is faking it!"

"Arsenal has been kicked into the shadows, Mertesacker, Chamberlain, Bellerin all pounce over, ignoring so many open spaces!"

"They can't defend it, they really can't defend it!"

"Zhao Gang is awesome! Arsenal is too disappointing!"

The two quick goals at the start completely stunned the Arsenal players.

They took two shots in total and scored two goals.

Things happen in threes, and at this rate, the third one is coming soon.

The entire midfield was in chaos, defeated by Zhao Gang.

Their defensive performance was completely different from the League Cup.

Xhaka lowered his head and put his hands on his hips.

Ramsey got up from the ground and sighed to the sky. He knew that he might lose face if he pounced, but he didn't expect to lose so much face.

Wenger stood on the sidelines, with mixed feelings.

Recently, Arsenal fans have been very dissatisfied with him, and many extreme fans have demanded his dismissal.

If they beat Manchester City to win the League Cup, these voices would be much quieter.

Unfortunately, they missed it by a hair's breadth.

However, Arsenal's performance had already been recognized by the Gunners fans.

They didn't need to beat Manchester City in this game, even a draw, or even a narrow loss, as long as they didn't lose momentum, Arsenal fans would be able to accept it.

Now that they were playing like a pile of shit, the fans' riotous emotions would probably be unstoppable.

His contribution to Arsenal, making Arsenal a Premier League powerhouse, creating the Highbury miracle, and the longest unbeaten record in the Premier League, was already a thing of the past.

Those extreme Gunners fans would not thank him for his past achievements, they would only care about the current results.

He felt that he might not be far from leaving Arsenal.

The Premier League was no longer the same as before. You couldn't rely on discovering talented players and slowly cultivating young people to achieve results.

Fans no longer had patience, and all teams were buying, buying, buying, quickly forming and building championship teams.

Wenger's management approach was a bit outdated.

The game was still going on. Although Wenger had lost some confidence, he was still standing on the sidelines. He couldn't let the players on the field see him lose his fighting spirit at this time.

Otherwise, they would really collapse completely.

The game on the field continued.

Arsenal had conceded two goals in a short period, but they had not completely lost their fighting spirit.

These players had all experienced being behind by a large margin, and had even come back to tie or even surpass their opponents.

If they gave up after conceding two goals, what kind of professional players would they be?

Arsenal began to closely defend Zhao Gang. Xhaka and Ramsey were focused, determined not to let Zhao Gang break through easily again!

Welbeck also retreated, watching Zhao Gang's passing and receiving.

At this time, when Zhao Gang was temporarily restricted, Manchester City would start their second set of tactics.

De Bruyne in the middle would take over the organization tasks, Sterling and Sane, the two wingers, would retreat, almost returning to the midfield position to participate in the team's ball control, and the two full-backs would move up, ready to attack on the flanks at any time.

And Zhao Gang would usually not easily receive the ball at this time. He would keep running in the frontcourt, coordinating with Aguero or Jesus to stretch the opponent's defense.

The focus of the attack would shift from the center to the two wings.

Otamendi, who was playing as a full-back, was a little lacking in the left-wing attack. As long as they added a left-back with speed and strong impact, Manchester City's attacking system would become very fierce and mature.

Guardiola had already set his sights on one player, Mendy from Monaco.

The Champions League matches between the two sides had made Guardiola like many young players from Monaco.

However, Fabinho and Bernardo Silva's positions were a bit crowded in Manchester City, so Guardiola's first reinforcement in the summer window was Mendy.

The other two weren't very useful even if they bought them for the time being.

Otamendi was a bit weaker in attack, but paired with Sane, he still stirred up a lot of waves on the left, forcing Arsenal's central defense to constantly move closer to the left.

With De Bruyne's dispatch in the center, the ball was distributed to the right, and Sterling and Kyle Walker charged fiercely on the other side.

Arsenal's defense was crumbling, and they were playing extremely passively.

They felt that the current Manchester City was completely different from the Manchester City in the League Cup final!

The attacks came wave after wave, magnificent and powerful.

Bang!

De Bruyne made a cross-field pass, and Kyle Walker pulled open his posture and rushed into the penalty area.

Kyle Walker was tall and strong, and extremely fast. He had many highlights of one-on-one defense against Zhao Gang when Manchester City played against Tottenham.

Otherwise, Guardiola wouldn't have bought him.

Monreal carried Kyle Walker, blocking his breakthrough route.

Kyle Walker rushed all the way to the baseline, then turned around and passed the ball to Sterling.

Sterling took the ball and rushed into the penalty area again, and Arsenal's defense was suffering unspeakably.

Chamberlain and Xhaka also began to assist in the defense.

Sterling seized the opportunity and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Zhao Gang, who hadn't received the ball much, had already run into the penalty area, and was finishing with Aguero and Sane!

Zhao Gang was at the front, running right into Sterling's passing route, and he kicked out!

It was very similar to the famous Bundesliga logo, and also like Muller's flying kick to the head!

However, Zhao Gang's kick was on the ball.
