However, the referee thought it was a foul, not only gave Koscheerney a yellow card, but also gave Aston Villa the second penalty in the game.

Aston Villa's Benteke seized the opportunity and scored a penalty kick, helping the team lead Arsenal 2:1.

Arsenal actually has a chance at this time, and there are still 30 minutes left in the game.

With their offensive strength, if they adjust their mentality, they will have a chance to equalize or even reverse.

However, Arsenal players are generally younger, and the mentality of young players is easily affected.

Especially Koscheerney, who was misjudged, could not accept the result of being misjudged and causing the team to fall behind, and there was a clear imbalance in his mentality.

Wenger's problem of not making decisive adjustments on the spot was exposed. He knew that his central defender was in a bad mood, but he did not make timely adjustments.

So, just five minutes later, Koscheerney fouled again and was presented with the second yellow card by the referee.

Two yellows turned into one red, and Arsenal not only fell behind by one goal, but also played one less player.

In the 85th minute of the game, Aston Villa seized Arsenal's anxious attack mentality and took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack and scored another goal.

Now, Arsenal was completely powerless to make the situation come true.

This is the first time Arsenal has lost in the first round of the Premier League in nearly 13 seasons.

The Gunner, who is extremely fierce at the beginning of each season, seems to have lost his magic power this season.

Apart from Arsenal's failure, the competitions of other giants are in chaos.

Tottenham beat the newly promoted Crystal Palace 1:0.

Chelsea defeated Hull City 2-0 at home.

Another high-profile focus Manchester United beat Swansea away with a score of 4:1 in the first round.

This is Moyes' first game since taking over Manchester United. Manchester United's performance has temporarily delivered a good answer.

However, the outside world still has doubts about whether Moyes can continue the dominance of Manchester United in the Ferguson era.

There are not many people who are optimistic that Moyes can continue the success of Manchester United in the past. Although Manchester United defeated Swansea, their opponents are not a giant.

To prove Manchester United's strength, he needs to show his strength in a strong dialogue.

Just in time, Manchester United will face Chelsea in the second round.

Moyes' coaching strength should be tested through this game.

...

The final battle of the first round of the league began between Manchester City and Newcastle.

Due to the schedule, this game was 3 days later than the opening match.

So at the beginning of Manchester City's game, all the other Premier League teams' games ended.

All competitors who are following Manchester City have enough time to come to the scene to observe and evaluate their competitive state.

Manchester City spent money like money in the transfer market this season, continuing the tradition of buying people crazy in the previous seasons.

In addition, they also signed a phenomenal player like Lin Quan, which made the outside world very curious about Manchester City's strength.

People can't wait to know, outside of traditional giants, can Manchester City, a rich man, transform from a nouveau riche into a new giant in the Premier League like Chelsea back then?

In this game, Etihad Stadium was particularly lively.

The city rivals Manchester United, BIG4's Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all sent scouts to observe the game.

Manchester United, which is about to stage a city derby with Manchester City in the fifth round of the league, even head coach Moyes personally went out.

For Moyes, Chelsea can accept the draw or even lose.

Because Chelsea is strong, it is not embarrassing to lose to them.

But Manchester City is different. This is a team that has been suppressed by Manchester United for decades.

Although they are now transformed from a phoenix, they have transformed from a bankrupt house, and are gradually changing towards a nouveau riche or even a wealthy family.

But they were still one step short of becoming a wealthy family.

Therefore, Moyes' Manchester United must suppress them and no one can lose to Manchester City.

If he loses to Manchester City, Manchester United fans will inevitably criticize him.

The outside public opinion will be extremely dissatisfied with his evaluation of him, and his life at Manchester United is very difficult!

Manchester City's head coach Pellegrini also attached great importance to this game.

He lined up what he thought was Manchester City's strongest lineup to meet the game.

Manchester City's formation in this game is 442 parallel positions:

No. 1 goalkeeper Joe Hart; No. 5 right back Sabaleta, No. 4 central defender Kompani, No. 6 central defender Lescott, No. 22 left back Krish; No. 15 left forward Navas, 25

No. 1. Fernandinho, No. 42. A. Yaya Toure, No. 21. Right forward David Silva; No. 10. Lin Quan, 16. Aguero.

Lin Quan and Aguero two forwards were at the front, but after the start of the game, Lin Quan retreated and became a shadow forward, but he assumed the responsibility of a midfielder.

The 442 formation is an ancient formation that Premier League teams like to use very much. This formation has a balanced offense and defense.

When defending, the four midfielders can retreat to shorten the distance between them and the back line, thereby compressing the opponent's offensive space and increasing the fault tolerance rate of your own defense, making it difficult for the opponent to break through their own defense.

Moreover, when attacking, the two wing forwards can become wingers at any time, assisting up to form a connection with the two forwards in front, allowing the offensive personnel in the frontcourt to directly double, increasing the ball point and offensive surface, making the opponent unable to defend.

However, this formation also has a disadvantage, that is, it has high requirements for midfielders.

It is difficult for players with relatively average abilities to maximize the advantages of this formation.

But for Manchester City, this problem does not exist at all.

Their midfield is luxurious enough, especially Navas and Silva on both sides.

Their defensive ability may be a little bit poor, but their offensive ability is definitely trustworthy!

At 18:00 pm, with the referee's whistle, Manchester City's home game against Newcastle officially kicked off.

Amid the enthusiastic cheering of the audience, Manchester City players began to launch fierce attacks on their opponents from the first second of the game.

Newcastle seemed not aware that his opponent's offense would be so crazy. He was beaten step by step after the start and was in danger in front of the goal.

In the first minute of the game, Manchester City completed its first shot.

Lin Quan received a pass from Silva who was assisted at the front of the penalty area. After shaking away the interference from his opponent's midfielder, he made a long shot outside the penalty area.

The football was a little unstoppable and slightly higher than the crossbar.

Although the ball was not scored, the fans at the scene still gave Lin Quan warm applause.

Fans have obviously discovered that Lin Quan has a strong desire to attack in this game.

This made them very excited, looking forward to seeing Lin Quan's performance at the Etihad Stadium!

Lin Quan obviously would not disappoint the fans. In the 6th minute of the game, Silva made an assist after breaking through the wing.

After receiving the ball, Lin Quan did not try to shoot long shots again, but entered the penalty area and spiked continuously in a small range, changed direction, passed two opponents' defenders and then calmly shot into himself in the Premier League.

The virgin ball!
Chapter completed!
