Manchester City had the fewest fouls in the Premier League this season.

Dead last.

So how did most of their fouls come about?

Guardiola himself admitted in a public interview: "During the high press, once we lose the ball, if the players can't stop the opponent, they must make a tactical foul."

Mastering the referee's standards and using small fouls to hinder the opponent's counterattack is one of La Masia's traditions.

It is also a compulsory course for every team that focuses on high-position offense.

Some young players can't learn it for the time being, such as De Bruyne.

Some young players are naturally gifted, such as Sterling.

But.

Aguero, Fernandinho, Kompany, Otamendi, and Yaya Toure, these old foxes, are different.

This season, they even had a tough fight with Chelsea.

The cause was: Aguero intentionally showed his cleats with a scissor kick, hitting the Chelsea defender's thigh.

Igniting the conflict.

In the chaos.

Chelsea midfielder Fabregas gave the young players a vivid La Masia practical lesson: a sneaky foul and a slap in the face. After successfully avoiding the referee's sight, he successfully got Fernandinho a red card as he was preparing to counterattack.

In contrast, the Blues' winger Willian seemed inexperienced. He sprinted thirty meters all the way to hit someone on the Manchester City bench. Fortunately, Diego Costa stopped him in time, preventing more serious chaos.

Emirates Stadium.

The atmosphere between the two teams' players was good.

Xhaka took the initiative to help up the fallen De Bruyne.

Sterling's small moves were also within reasonable limits.

Guardiola stopped experimenting and abandoned the plan to make Caballero the core of the backcourt's ball distribution. This was the root cause of being completely crushed by Everton and Leicester City.

The game was very smooth, and the pace of attack and defense between the two sides was getting faster and faster.

"Wonderful clearance, destroying David Silva's straight pass on the left, Li Kang wiped Maguire's ass again!"

"Manchester City's group of frontcourt attackers are all Maguire's natural enemies."

"Clichy throws the ball out of bounds, there is no chance to pass forward, his teammate passes it back to Yaya Toure, a beautiful transfer!"

"De Bruyne's lob pass!"

"Oh, Sterling couldn't score that?"

"What a pity..."

De Bruyne looked puzzled.

Guardiola held his bald head with both hands, his brow furrowed.

If Sterling's ability to seize opportunities was a little more normal...

38th minute of the game.

Arsenal's advance was broken.

Xhaka was intercepted by Yaya Toure.

Manchester City took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Guardiola's Blue Moon's overall passing and running speed, after a season of baptism, has been honed to a terrifying degree.

"De Bruyne's starting speed is very fast!"

"Wow!"

"He can actually send a ground-hugging arc pass in this high-speed state without adjustment!"

"Another beautiful rainbow!"

De Bruyne began to gain weight this season, and the coaching staff found that his explosive speed was even fiercer!

Even the game company can't keep up with his attribute changes.

In this historical period, De Bruyne and Li Kang are the most useful midfielders in the transition attack phase.

Sane predicted the amount of lead in his teammate's pass at high speed.

As long as he stops the ball, he can break through Arsenal's backcourt.

Suddenly.

A flash of red and white figure quickly struck, intercepting the decelerated football!

The cheers of the Blue Moon fans came to an abrupt end.

Sane had to slow down and give his teammate a thumbs up.

The shock on De Bruyne's face had not yet eased. His passing concealment was very high, so how could Li's judgment of the ball's path be so accurate? It felt like he had practiced the 20 area with Manchester City.

Sterling on the other side also stopped his strange running posture, shook his wrist, and scratched his butt.

Cech and Koscielny breathed a sigh of relief: If they can win the clean sheet bonus, they must give half to Li.

"Wonderful interception."

"Arsenal's biggest weakness for many years is that after losing possession of the ball in the autonomous attack phase, the defense line is directly exposed to the opponent's attacking players."

"Wenger's tactical system is also known as: Dancers on the tip of a knife."

"Unlike Guardiola, Arsenal hardly counter-presses after losing the ball in the frontcourt, but the whole team retreats to defend."

"Although Li Kang's running distance in this game is not much, he well interprets the importance of the defensive midfielder in Wenger's football philosophy."

"He paid tribute to a red and white era."

He Wei racked his brains to think of rhetoric to smooth over Li Kang's behavior.

Of course, Li Kang was not paying tribute to any era: Xhaka inserted forward, and he had to hold back.

The "bullet time" state was lifted.

From God's perspective, 20 small grids emerged with Manchester City's passing and running hotspots since the start of the game.

The more frequently the area goes back and forth, the darker the color.

Guardiola's Manchester City's 3-2 rule and 20-area concept, like Guardiola's Bayern's positional play back then, were naturally restrained by God's perspective.

Combined with the situation of leading by one goal.

Interception is more profitable than advancement.

[Tears, did Li Mingdeng predict that the professor was going to leave?]

-

[My dad said that Arsenal used to have a very tough midfield, and Little Li Zi is using actions to prove that Wenger's tactical framework is not outdated.]

-

[Being able to compete for fourth place with a mediocre lineup every year, the tactics will definitely not be outdated, the professor's on-the-spot adjustments are just not good.]

-

[Arsenal, come on, win the Premier League title smoothly tonight!]

-

[Guardiola's Manchester City, who doesn't do anything, is so strong?]

The audience gradually forgot the passage of time in the fierce change of ball possession.

68th minute of the game.

Arsenal made two consecutive substitution adjustments.

Welbeck replaced Giroud.

Morata replaced Walcott.

Li Kang and Cazorla completed the change of position, handing over the responsibilities of attack and defense.

When the football rolled on the green field again, Arsenal gradually played the most fierce offensive.

82nd minute.

"Oh! Danger!"

"In the process of these waves of positional attacks, Sanchez and Li Kang took turns holding the ball to impact Manchester City's penalty area!"

"Oh! Monreal and Bellerin have stretched the opponent's defense line!"

"Morata receives the ball, he can drill in from the right rib, or he can penetrate!"

"Perfect pause!"

"He didn't choose to cut inside and shoot!"

"Fake shot, real pass!"

"Li Kang adjusted his position early and came to the arc of the penalty area."

"The ball is passed over."

Pa!

Li Kang touched the ball with one foot.

Manchester City's penalty area was like a rectangular cake, cut in half by a sharp blade.

Left side of the twelve-yard spot.

Kompany is no longer at his peak, and he can no longer easily crush Welbeck, the Manchester United youth training player in front of him, as he did many years ago.

The football lifted Manchester City's net.

2:0!!!

Even though the home fans had already prepared themselves to win the championship, they couldn't hide their excitement at this moment.

Humans are often unable to shout in extreme joy.

Any language would seem pale and weak.

"The ball went in!"

"A gorgeous night for the Gunners!"

"Li Kang's signature through pass, Welbeck's push shot broke the goal!"

"The suspense of the Premier League title is almost strangled!"

Bould embraced the players on the bench tightly.

Wenger looked at the disciples on the field, his eyes were red, and he smiled.

Why is the sand so heavy in the Emirates Stadium tonight?

In the end.

Beep! Beep beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The fireworks were brilliant in the Emirates Stadium under the night.

The Premier League title has been away from the Arsenal for thirteen years.

Some Gunners fans couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, they overturned the billboards and broke through the security guards' obstacles.

The green field was soon covered by a red and white ocean.

The roaring sound of the stadium broadcast resounded through North London.

"2016/17 season English Premier League champion: Arsenal!!!"

"Glory and dream, our Arsenal."
