It used to be said that as his rival Mourinho grew older, he became more and more useless and his temper became more and more irritable.
Guardiola has been smiling at the situation, but now it seems that Guardiola's temper has been completely exposed, and it is not as good as imagined.
Maybe now is his true temperament?
The score of 2:3 makes him very crazy now.
Although this goal was not scored by Luo Wu, it was instigated by Luo Wu. His flash of inspiration at the edge of the penalty area once again confused Fernandinho and Danilo.
You can't stop the shot, you can't stop the pass.
Facts have proved that as long as Luo Wu is given a chance near the penalty area, he has the ability and method to create scoring opportunities.
Luo Wu is incomprehensible.
He brings anxiety to all Manchester City people.
"perhaps……"
"As long as we let him go, the matter can be solved." The assistant coach suddenly walked up to Guardiola and whispered in his ear.
Guardiola's eyes became focused again, and a hint of murderous intent flashed when they fell on Luo Wu.
Of course he was moved.
But he was still hesitant.
If you really want to implement plan B, it would be really shameless.
He hasn't thought about it yet, although he has been preparing.
He didn't want to take this tactic unless he had to do it as a last resort.
He wasn't in a hurry when he was leading 3:0 just now, but now it's 3:2.
"Don't think about it, the safest way is to do this." The assistant coach reminded him again.
But Guardiola remained unmoved, perhaps because of his conscience.
The assistant coach doesn’t have much to say...
In the end, Guardiola just pulled De Bruyne to the side of the court to explain a few words, but did not implement the so-called plan B.
The game resumed again, and Arsenal's momentum was completely back. The two sides began to play evenly, and the midfield battle became very intense. Luo Wu was able to move to the front and stand with Haaland.
Luo Wu's foot injury has not healed in the first place, so it is not appropriate to engage in fierce battles with the opponent. Being at the front will put huge pressure on Manchester City's defense.
Haaland dropped back slightly to help the midfielder share the defense.
"this……"
"Obviously, this guy's foot injury has not healed yet, otherwise he would not be able to play in this position. If we don't make a decision, it will be too late." Manchester City's assistant coach approached Guardiola again and suggested.
Guardiola narrowed his eyes, then raised his left hand to stop him from continuing.
"I know."
"You don't need to say any more."
"I am the coach."
It looked like he was a little angry.
Of course, kindness occupies the vast majority of his heart.
Although he hates Lou very much, he has not yet made such a crazy move.
I can't bear it.
Still too kind...
At this time, Manchester City completed another shot, but the quality was not high. Sane on the left hit the side net.
After Martinez recovered the ball, he launched a fast break and kicked the ball up with his big foot. However, Luo Wu in front was not tall enough and could not grab the high ball.
Haaland rushed over in time and joined the battle group. He jumped up and pressed Otamendi and gave the ball to Luo Wu. However, Laporta next to Luo Wu used his physical advantage to knock Luo Wu away.
Carry it behind you.
The ball was still taken away by a Manchester City player.
In fact, Luo Wu didn't participate in the fight at all. He couldn't spend his energy on this now.
He just wants to be healthy and stand on the court.
After Fernandinho got the ball, he immediately passed it to Sterling on the right. Sterling used his speed to force overtake from the outside and passed Koscielny!
He once again completed a ground ball pass, and Aguero ran over to respond in advance. Before Papastathopoulos could get close to him, he nudged the ball, turned around in the middle and took a step inside.
The shooting space immediately became available, and he shot directly into the near corner with his left foot, but the ball also hit the side netting.
Manchester City's offensive continued unabated. Following Arsenal's attack, starting from the right side, Lichtsteiner passed the ball to Saka in front. Saka was not in a hurry this time. He controlled the ball at his feet and passed it.
It was given to Guendouzi, who passed it across to Elneny and then continued to move to the left.
When Ronaldo got the ball, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward and passed it back to Elneny again.
It wasn't until Haaland retreated that Elneny stuffed the ball.
It is obvious that they are not in a hurry when playing now, and Luo Wu plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the army on the court.
Harland firmly controlled the ball at his feet, glanced at Luo Wu, but turned around and wiped the ball from the other direction. Otamendi, who was following him, was already suffering a physical disadvantage, but he was still dumped by Harland.
It's open.
But Danilo made up for it in time and still blocked Haaland's way.
At this time Luo Wu ran over, but Fernandinho also followed.
Harland made a concealed cut with the outside of his right foot. The ball actually passed behind Walker, but Walker also noticed Ronaldo's movement. He only looked at the person and not the ball. At the same time, he turned around and chased back, but there was still no chance.
Let Ronaldo get the ball.
He was stuck in his position first, and Ronaldo pushed him down helplessly from behind. The referee's whistle sounded, and Ronaldo committed a foul.
Excellent defenders look at people rather than the ball and block the route in advance. This is what Walker did.
Walker immediately sent an overhead ball, still trying to hit behind Arsenal's defense. Sterling used his speed advantage to get in behind Koscielny.
But central defender Holding ran over in time. Although Sterling got the ball, Holding also blocked him outside the penalty area.
When Sterling saw that there was only Holding beside him, he rushed forward with confidence and tried to cut into the penalty area, but Holding's legs were very long and he took two steps forward.
Sterling blocked the ball, and Sterling's footwork was relatively thin. He used the outside instep of his right foot to hook the ball back, and then made a circle in the opposite direction.
Holding's movements were still a little clumsy and Sterling got around him, but Koscielny came back at this time and still blocked him on the outside. Sterling could only pass the ball back.
De Bruyne followed up with a meteoric stride and made a diagonal pass to meet the ball.
The ball quickly fell into the back of Arsenal's penalty area. Sane almost took off on the spot, but his force was too small. The ball had no power and was easily caught by Martinez.
Martinez immediately threw the ball out of the penalty area with great force. Saka ran back to the center to receive the ball and decisively passed the ball to Harland in front.
Harland feinted a shot and suddenly missed the ball!
What a surprise.
The ball leaked to Luo Wu.
Luo Wu is only supported by Laporte!
This is quite scary.
Everyone's eyes widened, thinking that Luo Wu was going to play a trick on Laporte. After all, it was too easy for Luo Wu to deal with a defensive player.
Laporte also felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, so he quickly took half a step forward and stuck close to Luo Wu.
But Luo Wu's action surprised him. Luo Wu directly used the arch of his right foot to kick the ball back to the midfielder and handed it to Guendouzi.
What was originally a beautiful fast break turned into a positional battle in an instant.
According to the past, Luo Wu must have gotten rid of Laporte very cleanly, and it was impossible to pass the ball back.
But now he does just that.
It's shocking.
But it's also expected.
"It's solid."
"It feels like he was seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do this. It seems that defending Luo Wu has become easier."
Even Carragher could think of it, didn't Guariola think of it?
It's definitely not possible.
I feel more relieved now.
There should be no problem in keeping an eye on him, as long as you don't give Luo Wu space to pass the ball like Fernandinho did just now, and maintain 200% concentration...
At this time, Luo Wu had already run into the Manchester City penalty area, and Ronaldo, who got the ball on the left, got rid of Walker and passed the ball back to the center.
Guendouzi, who followed, tried to hit a shot from outside the penalty area, but the quality of the shot was extremely poor.
Although Luo Wu didn't make a difference, Arsenal's offense began to shine.
Head coach Emery kept applauding from the sidelines. He was satisfied with this performance.
At least it won't be as embarrassing as it was at the beginning, and now the offense is picking up.
But Manchester City's offense showed no signs of weakening. Their offense was simple and efficient, and they easily advanced into Arsenal's backcourt. De Bruyne also tried a long shot from outside the penalty area.
But this time the shot was still blocked by Arsenal players, and when the corner kick was taken, there was no threat.
Harland headed the ball inside the penalty area and out of the penalty area. Fernandinho stopped the ball and immediately distributed it to Zinchenko who came forward from the left.
Zinchenko and Danilo worked together like a collision, rushed to the bottom line, and then pumped the ball into the small penalty area.
There was a panic in the penalty area, but it was too upright. Martinez jumped down and held the ball in his arms. Manchester City missed our opportunity to score.
Manchester City's luck has always been bad, and the forwards are very good at squandering opportunities, and this time is no exception.
This time Arsenal failed to initiate a fast break and Martinez stabilized the ball in the backcourt.
Manchester City was robbed directly on the spot, and Martinez finally had to kick the ball with his feet.
Haaland is more difficult. He has always been used as one person and two people, directly facing two Manchester City center backs.
This time Luo Wuxue was smart and retreated more than 10 meters, but Fernandez also caught up.
Manchester City's defense did a good job and the ball came back to their feet.
Another wave of attacks hits Arsenal.
De Bruyne passed it directly to Sane.
Sane was so fast that he changed direction and knocked Guendouzi away.
Aguero waved in the middle and signaled Sane to pass the ball to him. Sane made another mistake and continued to dribble away Elneny!
Shoot!
This poisonous bitch!
The ball is ridiculously high.
Aguero finally couldn't help but cursed.
This guy is really too poisonous.
Guardiola covered his bald head and was about to cry without tears.
Sane didn't care and ran back dejectedly.
Papastathopoulos in the Arsenal backcourt took possession of the ball and was immediately pressed by Aguero.
Elneny connected on the flank and was immediately tackled by De Bruyne!
The referee showed a yellow card.
De Bruyne was obviously a little anxious.
This is the front court, completely unnecessary.
Guardiola shouted his name loudly on the sidelines to remind him.
But Emery scolded her.
Because Elneny, who fell on the turf, did not get up. He lay on the lawn crying and howling. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
If Elneny cannot get up and continue fighting, Emery will have no choice but to substitute passively.
Cursing loudly, he walked to the bench and quickly asked Dutchman Van de Beek to get up and warm up.
His sixth sense was so strong that Elneny was unable to stand up.
In the end he had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.
Van de Beek appears.
After coming up, Van der Beek immediately showed off a long pass!
A long diagonal pass was hoisted directly into Manchester City's penalty area, and it accurately found Haaland!
Haaland picked up onions on dry land and shook his head to attack the goal!
The ball was touched by Otamendi and slightly missed the left post.
Arsenal got a chance to attack from a corner kick.
Luo Wu still did not take the penalty, but handed it over to J Luo.
He ran to the top of the penalty area.
Fernandinho still clung to him, he didn't want to make a mistake a third time.
Staring at him intently.
Don't care about anything.
Ronaldo drove the ball directly into Manchester City's penalty area. After all, Haaland stood out from the crowd.
The placement was good. Harland grabbed the placement again, but was also unable to exert force. The ball hit the center and Otamendi hit it out to the right side of the penalty area.
Walker comes to the rescue!
Kicked!
The ball bounced towards the center.
Fernandinho and Luo Wu both rushed over!
Fernandinho was a little anxious and rushed to tackle first, but finally made the tackle.
But the ball rolled towards Van der Beek. It was a pass.
Fernandinho was shocked and quickly got up and ran back because he could not lose control of Luo Wu.
But he thought too much and Luo Wu did not run away.
He actually wanted to wait for Van der Beek to pass the ball, but Van der Beek didn't, and handed it to Ronaldo!
J Luo crosses again!
It's Haaland's point again. This time Haaland failed to grab the spot.
The ball was solved by Otamendi.
The ball flew out of the penalty area again, and right at the top of the penalty area, it was Fernandinho and Luo Wu!
Fernandinho tried to seize a favorable position and blocked Luo Wu, preventing Luo Wu from getting the ball.
but!
Too late!
Luo Wu jumped up first!
"What is he going to do?!"
"ah!"
The whole audience watched Luo Wu take off.
But I soon understood it!
Upside down gold hook!
"Alas!"
"Barb!"
It was too late when Fernandinho understood. He could only watch Luo Wu take off, stretch his arms, and complete the barb!
If he had been soberer, he should have committed a foul.
But he let Luo Wu complete the shot!
Luo Wu's right foot hit the middle of the ball hard!
Everyone's eyes were on the ball.
"oh!"
"oh!"
"goooooooal!"
"goooooooooal!"
"goooooooooooal!"
"Ah hahahaha, I just said that Luo was not a threat, but..."
