Chapter 67: The Championship!

The Anelka brothers made the same judgment on the game, but the actual situation was very different from what they imagined. After Darren Bent played, Manchester City was much calmer than before, and they quickly used the ball stabilized the situation.

After Anelka left the field, there was no 'time bomb' in the frontcourt, and the team played according to tactics.

They keep passing the ball and playing around David Silva.

Wan Sheng made it very clear before the game that the partner of David Silva and Morris, Silva's position is a prerequisite, and everyone understands what this means, that is to let Morris play the defensive midfielder , Silva plays the central midfielder, that is to say, most of the offense will be centered on Silva, and he has also become an offensive player.

Before Darren Bent played, Anelka was the brightest in the frontcourt. He scored a lot of balls, and his skills were dazzling, which attracted a lot of attention. In this way, Silva and others who passed him the ball became Very inconspicuous, as if Anelka was the only one in the frontcourt.

It's different now, without Anelka, Silva's role is highlighted.

To say that Anelka is on the field, still has a lot of credit. In addition to that goal, he also helped Silva attract 'firepower'. Silva started as a central midfielder, and he was still a little nervous. But in the previous game, including Arsenal's defense, everyone was paying attention to Anelka, and no one cared about his performance at all. As time passed, Silva slowly adapted.

Now he is not nervous at all, and he feels that it is okay to play the core. As long as he plays seriously, it is still very easy to pass.

David Silva's evaluation of himself is a bit low. He is not only qualified, he has great talent in passing, and is in the football training master system. The passing attribute evaluation has reached 93 points, even more than Lee Morris. If he can be evaluated so highly by the football training master system, his passing ability is naturally very good.

With the normal play of Manchester City's front and rear, the role of David Silva is also highlighted. He gets more balls. So the performance of personal ability is also dazzling a lot.

At the same time, his outstanding passing ability is also highlighted.

Ten minutes after Darren Bent played, David Silva completed a wonderful through ball. From the left corner of the penalty area, he accurately passed the ball to the right in front of the goal. quite accurate. Darren Bent plugged in and ran right into position. He found a good chance to shoot.

Darren Bent resisted his excitement, he grabbed in front of Toure and gently stabbed the ball forward!

The football flew into the goal from the hand of Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann!

The entire Highbury Stadium was quiet for a moment because of the goal, and then the commentator began to exclaim wildly, "Darren Bent! Darren Bent!"

George Woodgate was amazed at the speed with which Manchester City equalised and that Darren Bent scored the tie. "Goal in! Goooooooal!"

"He just played for ten minutes and he helped Manchester City equalize!"

"His performance was amazing. No one noticed him before, but when the ball came to the goal, he just showed up and put the ball in the goal before Toure! Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann said this. No way!"

"But this goal is more attributed to David Silva, who passed the ball. The Spanish teenager who joined Manchester City in the summer has also started in previous games, but he has always been a full-back. In this game, he The position has been changed to a central midfielder. We can see that he is a bit higher than Morris's position on the field. This shows that Wansheng attaches great importance to him. Now it seems that he did not disappoint. This assist can Explains a lot..."

After the goal, Darren Bent went straight to David Silva, thanking him for this wonderful assist.

The two hugged excitedly.

Wan Sheng also walked to the sidelines to watch this scene, and then clapped his hands vigorously a few times, and the camera captured him with a smile on his face.

"It seems that Wansheng is very satisfied with the performance of Silva and Darren Bent." George - Woodgate commented.

Meanwhile, the Manchester City bench was celebrating and everyone cheered.

Perhaps, the only one with a bad face was Anelka. Just now, he was thinking that after he left the game, the team must have no chance. In less than ten minutes, the team completed the goal to equalize the score. You Qi’s goal is to replace him, Darren Bent, doesn’t this mean that this second-tier league boy is enough to replace himself in the game?

...

No matter what Anelka thinks, Wansheng is actually not surprised by the goal.

The biggest contributor to this goal is David Silva, but in fact, the biggest reason should be attributed to tactics.

The entire scoring process is almost in accordance with the tactical format, at least before David Silva completes a superb pass. The football is passed according to the tactical routine, and then David Silva runs out according to the tactical routine. Open, he got a chance in the corner of the penalty area. This position is not very good, but it is quite good to find opportunities in this position with passing and running. It is because of the good position and no one can come first Defensively, David Silva can pass excellent through balls, and Darren Bent can get excellent shooting opportunities.

Of course, on the field, tactics still need players to play, otherwise the best tactics are on paper, so David Silva and Darren Bent are still the biggest contributors.

Wan Sheng was not surprised by the goal, but was also satisfied with the performance of the two.

The ability of the two, especially Darren Bent's ability, is also the reason why he did not hesitate to replace Anelka. With the support of tactics and teammates, as long as the striker can keep up with the strength, there will always be good opportunities. Anelka is more capable, but if he doesn't perform well, it will drag down the entire team. Darren Bent is a little worse than Anelka, but when it comes to the game, his performance may not be much worse. It is not because Darren Bent has too little experience in the top league, it is not easy for Anelka to occupy the absolute main position.

At the same time, many commentators also praised the previous substitutions because of the goals.

"This goal proves that Wansheng's substitution was correct. After Darren Bent came on, Manchester City's performance was a lot calmer, their attack became smoother, and they also withstood Arsenal's pressure. Now there is another Scored a goal and tied the score, it seems Anelka should take a good look at the bench to see how Darren Bent played the game..."

Anelka was indeed watching from the bench, but he wasn't thinking about how Darren Bent would play. Instead, he thought about this 'second league boy' even if he scored a goal. It is also far from his own, because he also scored goals, and that goal was scored by his own ability.

What about this goal just now?

That's David Silva's pass!

This 'second-level league boy' is almost equivalent to pushing an empty goal, and there is no technical content at all!

"What's the big deal?"

A wave of disdain crept up Anelka's cheek.

When other teammates rushed out of the bench to celebrate, he still did not move, his face was not very good-looking, as if the opponent scored the goal.

...

Anelka's brother Claude was still talking to Eric Manasseh about his brother's excellence in the box.

"That kid's name is Darren Bent? How could he replace Nikolai!"

He said disdainfully.

The next moment. He saw Darren Bent run to the goal and kick the ball into the goal. Suddenly he became a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Eric Manasse frowned and glanced at Claude.

He felt a little amused, but he couldn't smile.

He has been partnering with Claude for a long time, and Claude is also capable. The only disadvantage is that he likes money too much, and he also 'trusts' his younger brother too much. That kind of trust has reached an unimaginable level. It could even be said that he believes his younger brother is the best player in history. Such a description is not an exaggeration at all.

So Eric Manasseh is not at all surprised to hear Crowder mock Darren Bent and tout his younger brother.

Now watching Darren Bent score, he feels a little bit of a crisis.

Before, he felt that Claude's proposal could be considered. As long as Anelka performed well enough, the Manchester City club would definitely attach great importance to him. When the time comes to talk about it, Manchester City will definitely agree to the salary increase request.

But according to the current situation, Anelka does not seem to be the only choice in the frontcourt. Darren Bent's performance is not much worse than him, and it will be difficult to get a salary increase.

...

After Darren Bent helped the team equalize, Manchester City's morale was boosted. The more they played, the better they were. On the other hand, Arsenal were disrupted by this goal.

They thought they were winning, but they were quickly levelled.

This is different than imagined.

Now that they can't play an advantage on the field, they are a little anxious, so that they have some problems with the connection between the front and the back. After the game restarts, Manchester City has the upper hand for a while.

After several consecutive waves of attack and defense, Arsenal gave a feeling of being exhausted.

The Arsenal fans who had been shouting and cheering for the team before were a little silent, and they began to worry about the situation on the field, while the few Manchester City fans were high-spirited and shouted to cheer for the players on the field.

But for a long time, the score on the field has not been rewritten. Although Arsenal are at a disadvantage, their defense is still very tight. It is not easy for Manchester City to find opportunities.

At this moment, the commentator suddenly exclaimed, "Pass!"

This sudden shouting made one's heart skip a beat. Looking at the TV screen again, the football had already flown into the air and fell straight to the left side of the goal. Suddenly a white figure appeared in the penalty area. He jumped up high and pushed the ball into the goal with his head. .

"Ball... in! Ball in!"

It wasn't until then that the second voice of the commentator came out. After a closer look, he recognized that it was Darren Bent who had just scored the goal, and the long-distance pass just now came from the midfielder Mo. Reese's feet.

“Goooooooooooooooooal!!!”

"It's Darren Bent again!"

"Twice! He scored his second goal after coming off the bench! At the last minute, he helped City overtake the score! Did he want City to take the win at Highbury?"

"Let's watch slow motion..."

"It's Maurice! He made an excellent long-range pass from the midline! The pass was very accurate, and it went straight to the goal. Darren Bent made it in time. It's hard to imagine that the two have such a tacit understanding. Arsenal were totally caught off guard!"

"3:2, Manchester City overtook the score!"

"There's not much time left in the game now, Arsenal are a little bit dangerous..."

In the high voice of the commentator, all Manchester City people shared the joy of scoring.

On the field of play, Darren Bent also ran wildly around the field. He hugged everyone when he saw him, and finally knelt directly on the grass, smashing the turf with his fists.

Standing on the sidelines, Wan Sheng also stomped his feet fiercely, threw his fists hard, and yelled at Darren Bent, "Well done...beautiful!"

He thought it was good to be able to tie the game before, but Darren Bent was unexpectedly able to score the second goal!

This is a little unexpected, but it is a pleasant surprise!

At this point in the game, the go-ahead score is easily equated with winning. If they can beat Arsenal in this game, the team’s competition in the league will become very favorable. They will pull down Arsenal and Manchester United in the standings and stabilize the second place in the league. Ranking, the next competitor, there will only be one Chelsea.

Points may not be the most important thing.

This game can see that both David Silva and Darren Bent have made great progress. They have gained valuable experience in the game, which may help them grow up quickly, as long as these two talents grow Up, the team's striker and midfield will become very strong, this is the most critical.

...

In the end, with Darren Bent's two goals, Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3:2 at Highbury Stadium, winning another league victory and getting a very valuable three points.

In the post-match press conference, Wansheng did not respond to the topic of Anelka raised by reporters, but praised Morris and Darren Bent, and specifically mentioned the last goal, "Li is very Great player, I've always admired him, he's an all-round midfielder, I need him to play as a defensive midfielder in this game, but he can still play a key role in attack!"

"It was a fantastic pass that wasn't in the game and he did it. But I'm not surprised because he always plays a key role in the game."

Next he talked about Darren Bent, "He scored two goals, he did a good job, he has scored five goals in the league. You think he is in good form, but I think it will be good for him in the future. It will be normal."

"It was because of his excellence that I brought him into the team."

After praising the players' performance, Wansheng finally mentioned the result of the game and said, "This is a very crucial victory, a crucial three-pointer!"

"I didn't want to say anything more before I got this three-pointer, but now, I dare say that we are qualified enough to enter the championship!"

"Yes, I am sure!" (To be continued ~^~)
