Arsenal kicked off from the center circle, and Ramsey received the ball.

In the first half, Ramsey spent most of his time defending. After Arsenal's first goal, they spent almost the entire time defending in their own half.

Even when they attacked, few players participated, and the attacks were quickly broken down.

In the second half, Ramsey took the ball and tried to push forward, but Sané actively returned to the center to cooperate with Zhao Gang in pressing, forcing Ramsey to pass back.

It seemed Arsenal would revert to their first-half strategy of passing the ball around in their own half, waiting for Manchester City to press before launching a long ball forward.

Hoping Sánchez and Walcott could find opportunities.

In the 50th minute, Manchester City's pressing in the attacking third led to a mistake between Xhaka and Chamberlain.

Sané's sliding tackle directly intercepted the ball!

As Arsenal players tried to challenge, Sané quickly got up, chose not to pass, and quickly turned, directly getting past Chamberlain!

Sané, very comfortable on the wing, quickly advanced with the ball!

Even with one less player, Manchester City's attack was not significantly affected.

Kyle Walker provided quick support, giving Sané on Manchester City's right wing multiple options.

While advancing, Sané observed his teammates and pushed the ball to Kyle Walker, who was overlapping on the side, then cut inside to draw defenders.

Walker received the ball, screened for Sané, and passed the ball back to him.

Sané passed it across again, but Zhao Gang, interfered with by Welbeck and Ramsey, couldn't get a shot off.

He quickly moved laterally, rushing towards the left wing.

Ramsey chased back, pulling and tugging, but he didn't commit to a tackle and couldn't stop Zhao Gang, who was still in good physical condition.

The referee watched their entanglement. Seeing Zhao Gang break free from Ramsey's defense, he didn't stop the game and gestured to play on.

De Bruyne prepared to receive the ball on the left to cross, and Jesus in the box moved from the center towards the left side of the box, looking for an opportunity to receive the ball and shoot.

Zhao Gang's breakthrough on the left forced Mertesacker to step out and join his teammates to double-team.

Otherwise, Zhao Gang entering the penalty area would pose a significant threat.

As Mertesacker started to move, Xhaka and Bellerín also moved towards Zhao Gang.

Preparing to form a three-man defensive trap.

Zhao Gang dribbled the ball, moving to the left. Seeing Mertesacker's movement, he suddenly played a through ball.

Mertesacker was still in motion, swinging his arms and shifting his weight. He instantly judged that he couldn't intercept the ball. With good defensive awareness, he changed direction and lunged towards Jesus, who was preparing to receive the ball.

Jesus received the ball, but Holding quickly filled the space, preventing Jesus from shooting immediately.

Seeing the block, Jesus cut the ball back and rushed towards the baseline!

Then he suddenly unleashed a powerful shot from a tight angle.

Ospina stretched out his body, as if he had been shot, instinctively raising his hands and arching his back.

The ball flew from low to high towards the far corner!

Like a cannonball, without any hesitation!

*Swish!*

The ball hit the net, and the entire net shook violently!

"Zhao! A very precise through ball! Jesus, cuts past Holding… Jesus!! Jesus!!!!

goooal!!!" The commentator roared passionately, "Ten-man Manchester City, the attack has not been affected much!

The cooperation in the attacking third is still wonderful and perfect!

Jesus equalizes!

52nd minute! Jesus scores for Manchester City away from home! One-one!

Arsenal paid the price for their conservatism, and the price came so quickly!

They almost gave up attacking, trying to defeat Manchester City with defense. Seven minutes into the second half, Manchester City showed Arsenal, and Wenger, that even with one less player, you can't hold on!!"

Jesus rushed to the sideline and roared, "For our captain, for Vincent!"

There weren't many Manchester City fans in the away end, but they almost all stood up when they saw the number Jesus gestured with his hands.

Their voices were intense, finally releasing their suppressed emotions.

"Vincent!"

"Vincent!!"

"Manchester City fans are still upset about Kompany's red card! Those two yellow cards were indeed a bit harsh. Considering Sánchez's first goal was extremely controversial, the referee's decisions in this game have been somewhat biased.

This goal is for their captain, Vincent Kompany!

Manchester City's unity is truly admirable!"

In the locker room, Kompany, watching the live broadcast, jumped up excitedly, clenched his fists, and roared to the sky.

"yes! yes!" Kompany, with tears in his eyes, was running around and jumping like crazy. His passionate shouts echoed throughout the locker room.

Arsenal fans were somewhat dissatisfied.

They had been somewhat unhappy with Wenger since the first half.

After scoring a goal, they played like a pile of shit.

Only knowing how to defend, not attack.

Manchester City had a player sent off, and they were still turtling.

At the start of the second half, there was no change in tactics.

Finally, they conceded a goal.

Playing with one more player, at home, and using this kind of tactic?

Many people thought Wenger was really old and it was time for Arsenal to make a change.

As for the glory Wenger had brought to Arsenal?

His past contributions?

Who still cared?

Angry fans kept throwing debris, venting their dissatisfaction.

Hatred for Manchester City's goal, resentment for Wenger's conservatism.

Wenger stood on the sidelines, frowning, pursing his lips, anxious, but not too agitated.

Gentle, refined, and handsome had always been the impression this old man gave.

However, his excessive calmness had always been criticized, as had his poor tactical adjustments on the field.

Now, it was time for a decision again: keep defending, or attack?

Attacking would give Manchester City a lot of counter-attacking space, especially Zhao Gang, who would have many passing options.

That would be fatal.

But defending?

What if Manchester City seized another opportunity and scored another goal?

The Arsenal players on the field were also somewhat dissatisfied with Wenger's tactics. We had already scored a goal, why retreat across the board?

Our attack is no worse than Manchester City's, why defend so stubbornly?

They had grievances, but they wouldn't show them.

At Arsenal, Wenger was the biggest.

While Wenger was considering whether to make a change, Arsenal had already kicked off again.

Wenger finally decided on the next tactic.

He gestured to the players on the field, telling them to calm down.

Against Manchester City, mistakes would be fatal.

So, in this situation, they absolutely couldn't attack rashly.

It was only a draw, not a deficit!

"Defend!! Hold your positions, don't let anyone slip through!!"

The Dragon Country fans were excited by the goal.

This was the final, deciding the championship.

Manchester City had been behind, and with one less player, they had been watching the game with bated breath.

Now that they had equalized, they could breathe a little easier.

"Manchester City is too awesome!"

"With one less player, they are still pressing Arsenal!"

"Zhao Gang, not even a bit of stage fright in the final! Score another one!!"

"Although there's one less player, why am I so confident?? The second championship is coming! Go!!"

"The celebration after this goal should be for Kompany, score another one, score another one for the championship!!"

The camera once again focused on Oly in the stands. She waved the number eighteen jersey, jumping excitedly, with a bright light in her eyes.

"Oly is a genuine Londoner, and this family are all Charlton fans, so it's quite harmonious today.

If... I mean, if Manchester City were playing Charlton in the final today, this family would most likely support Charlton."

"If that were the case, I guess Zhao Gang would probably be cursed by this family for scoring or assisting, hehe..."

"Haha... that's very normal, because England's football culture is indeed special. Most of them have their own main team from a young age, and the main team has been integrated into their blood.

In a Premier League match between Chelsea and West Ham, when captain Terry scored the winning goal, his father, as a West Ham fan, gave his son the middle finger in the stands.

Even if they are father and son, they are enemies on the field."

On the field, Zhao Gang looked at Arsenal's formation. He thought Arsenal would attack.

But, unexpectedly.

The two wing-backs were still standing in the backfield, defending at all times, with no intention of attacking.

Playing with one more player, and still playing like this?

No wonder some fans in the stands were already restless.

Moreover, Arsenal's defensive actions were still quite aggressive. Chamberlain and Ramsey both received yellow cards for their defense against Sané and Zhao Gang.

This disrupted Manchester City's attacking rhythm.

Ten-man Manchester City was indeed not as fluid in the attacking process as before.

There was one less support point and breakthrough point up front.

Arsenal was defending strictly, and Manchester City did not get any absolute chances in the subsequent attacks.

And while running and defending tirelessly, Arsenal's resentment had been growing.

Their trust in Wenger was slowly diminishing.

They always thought this strategy was too low.

But the championship was the most important thing.

As long as they could lift the trophy, all the doubts would disappear!

What's more, the opponent was Manchester City?

In a sense, the sense of accomplishment of defeating Manchester City was even greater than winning the championship!

Time was passing. After one of Manchester City's attacks failed, Arsenal's players finally launched a quick counter-attack.

Ramsey dribbled the ball forward quickly through the middle, and this time Arsenal's players, having been suppressed for too long, had increased the number of attacking players compared to before!

"Arsenal has committed seven attacking players, a very rare situation!

Before, it was always Sánchez and Walcott interfering in the frontcourt.

Welbeck even used the striker as a center-back because he was defending Zhao Gang!

Let's take a look at this attack!"

Under the cheers of the audience, Ramsey was full of power, bypassing Sané's defense and facing Fernandinho. He suddenly passed the ball to the side, then quickly cut inside, received Bellerín's pass, and rushed towards Manchester City's hinterland!

This time, Manchester City's defense was clearly unprepared. They didn't expect Arsenal to suddenly launch a large-scale counterattack!

Walcott, Sánchez, and Chamberlain exerted all their strength to move forward.

In Ramsey's attack, Clichy quickly filled the gap.

Fernandinho and Zhao Gang were also accelerating their retreat.

This time, Arsenal's attack was extremely fierce!

Ramsey's through ball directly penetrated Manchester City's defense!

The ball appeared at Sánchez's feet.

Sánchez's strength and speed were top-notch in the entire Premier League.

In his offensive and defensive battle with Kyle Walker, he forcibly burst through, rushing towards the baseline, preparing to pass back in a triangle or find an opportunity to shoot!

Seeing Chamberlain rushing to the edge of the penalty area, Sánchez gave up the opportunity to shoot, because Otamendi had already come over to block his shooting route.

Sánchez seized the opportunity and passed the ball back. A large gap appeared on the left side of the penalty area!

Chamberlain arrived on horseback, stepping into the penalty area, and there was no one in front of him to intercept!/

Stones struggled to rush over, and Chamberlain swung his leg to shoot!

"Chamberlain!!! Shot!!!

Bravo! What a save!!"

Bravo, who had been on alert, flew and blocked the ball with both hands!

The ball bounced to the right side of the penalty area.

"Walcott, second point, there's still a chance!"

Walcott, who received the ball, adjusted his feet and was about to unleash a powerful shot when Zhao Gang slid over from the opposite side.

Steady, accurate, and ruthless!

*Bang!*

The two crashed heavily together, and the ball slid towards the baseline with Zhao Gang. Walcott screamed and fell into the penalty area!

He clutched his ankle and started rolling.

Zhao Gang's body was like a spring, suddenly bouncing up during the slide to protect the ball before it went out of bounds.

He turned his head and kicked the ball towards the middle. Jesus, who had returned, stopped the ball with his chest and turned to sprint.

The entire Emirates Stadium erupted in a terrifying boo.

"Zhao Gang's tackle! The ball hadn't crossed the baseline, and he directly found Jesus! There are no defenders near Jesus, and only Mertesacker is a center-back in Arsenal's half! Manchester City's counterattack!"

The linesman turned his head and ran towards Arsenal's half, following Jesus all the way.

The booing in the Emirates Stadium intensified.

Such a serious foul, was the referee blind??

The referee hesitated and turned back to run towards Arsenal's half.

Walcott lay there, his face full of pain.

The Arsenal players retreated while shouting at the referee.

*Whistle!!*

The referee, listening to the shouts of the Arsenal players, the booing from the crowd, and the reminder from the VAR referee in his headset, was not decisive enough. Without waiting for Jesus's counterattack to end, he blew his whistle directly!
