Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

"Pass it on!!"

"Kyle, why aren't you going up?"

"Mendy, Mendy, run!!!"

"Don't hesitate, damn it!!"

Wembley Stadium.

Aside from the players kicking the ball and shouting, the loudest sound on the field came from Guardiola watching from the sidelines.

As Manchester City manager

He needs to be directly responsible for the team's performance.

The minimum goals set for him by Manchester City's management this season are the league title and the domestic cup title.

The FA Cup situation is currently uncertain, and Arsenal has firmly secured the top spot in the league.

The League Cup title is perhaps the most likely outcome.

Unfortunately, after Arsenal took a 1-0 lead in the first half,

Manchester City played all the way to the end of the second half, past the 80th minute, and were still leading 1-0!

They have high ball possession, a high number of shots, and a high number of corner kicks.

Looking at the statistics, Manchester City is higher than Arsenal.

Manchester City also dominated the game.

Manchester City, unfortunately, is the one that's falling behind!

"This is Guardiola's team; they just pass the ball around outside the penalty area, but they just can't get it into the penalty area."

Commentator Gary Lineker couldn't help but mock Manchester City's "possession tactics".

At first, Arsenal's defenders were quite anxious.

They were overwhelmed by Manchester City.

Who would have thought that Manchester City's attack would come to this?

De Bruyne did his best to pass the ball.

There's nothing I can do if my teammates don't move up in position!

Sane has wasted so many chances on the left flank.

I always want to do 1v2 or 1v3.

Aguero's performance has declined rapidly; he is no longer the peak Aguero who scored the winning goal with a 9320-point margin in 2012.

Bernardo Silva on the right has a steady hand with the ball, but there aren't many good options.

Fernandinho, standing next to him, was even more useless.

De Bruyne could only try to shoot himself, but several long-range shots from outside the penalty area failed to find the target.

This is the first time I've ever felt so exhausted playing for Manchester City.

Manchester City used their final substitution, bringing on Kevin De Bruyne, the most active player of the match, to come off.

Sterling comes on...

When you see your own number,

De Bruyne was stunned!!

I was the only one running hard throughout the entire game, so why was I the one who was substituted?

"I'm not satisfied! I'll tell Guardiola, I want to keep playing!"

"Kevin, calm down! Don't fight him."

Stones quickly restrained his teammate.

He knew that De Bruyne seemed like an honest man.

In reality, he's incredibly stubborn.

He gets so stubborn when he gets excited, you couldn't move him even if you took ten oxen.

"No!! I have to say it!"

"Let me talk! Let me talk!"

De Bruyne struggled desperately, his face turning completely red, arguing his case to stay on the field.

Even referee Clattenburg was alarmed, stopping the game to inquire about De Bruyne's condition.

This left the Manchester City players in a very awkward position.

A conflict is about to erupt between the team members and the coach, and it seems that things are spiraling out of control.

In the end, it was Lu Xiao who stepped in to stop De Bruyne.

"Kevin, calm down! Whatever your grievances are, vent them in the next game. Be professional!!"

Lu Xiao's stern tone startled De Bruyne slightly.

Lu Xiao was clearly the underling, so why did De Bruyne feel like he was the one who didn't know any better?

He outshone me again!

hateful!

De Bruyne sighed and could only clench his fists, suppressing his anger for the duel a few days later.

Guardiola also breathed a sigh of relief.

He substituted De Bruyne not because he disapproved of him, but simply because De Bruyne was very fatigued.

The player's movements have already become distorted on the field.

Letting Sterling take a shot might bring some opportunities.

Unfortunately, Guardiola underestimated the situation.

Sterling did cause some trouble in the attacking third after coming on, stirring up Arsenal's game.

But correspondingly,

Sterling's ball control is also inconsistent.

"Time is running out, Manchester City are still in possession... Sterling gets the ball, tries to break through!"

"A stepover, a spike to get past the defender... beautiful!! Monreal guessed right!"

"Sterling's ball is intercepted, Sanchez receives it!! Arsenal counter-attack!"

In the past, Sanchez would have dribbled past the defender himself.

He is a player who needs a lot of ball possession and needs to hold the ball.

But Lu Xiao is in the team.

Sanchez's playing style has changed significantly.

I learned to observe my teammates' positions in advance.

Upon receiving the ball, Sanchez pretended to make a breakthrough, but unexpectedly delivered a penetrating diagonal pass!

The ball looked like it was headed straight for the opposing goalkeeper.

Suddenly, a red and white figure appeared out from the side!

"Lu!!! Such a perfectly coordinated pass and run!! He appeared in the exact spot he should have been in!!"

"You can always trust this Chinese man!"

"Kyle Walker comes up to block... Great shot!! Lue completes a nutmeg!! Breaking past Kyle Walker!"

"Beating Stones again!! Manchester City have been beaten by two players!"

"Lu Xiao has a one-on-one opportunity!!"

When veteran captain Kompany was injured and absent.

Neither Stones nor Otamendi could stop Lu Xiao.

It was thoroughly cleaned up.

Lu Xiao, alone, was like a sharp blade cutting through enemy lines.

It pierced the heart of Manchester City!

The moment goalkeeper Ederson rushed out of his goal,

Lu Xiao suddenly kicked!

[Powerful Shot]!!

Tsubasa Ozora's special attack,

After countless practices, Lu Xiao's shooting motion has become an unconscious one, just like a normal basic attack!

boom--

The football unleashed a beautiful arc.

Just before it reached the stands, it suddenly plummeted!

Ederson managed to lift the ball, but failed to touch it.

Watching the ball slip through the only gap between his fingers and the crossbar,

It slammed into the net!

"2-0!!! Arsenal win!!! In stoppage time, Lu Xiao extended the lead! Securing the victory!!"

"They're getting closer and closer to the League Cup title!!"

"They haven't won a league title in years, but at least they've won the League Cup!"

Lineker couldn't resist making a joke about Arsenal at the end.

A League Cup title is at least a championship!

This is Arsenal's first title of the 2017-2018 season!

Only then did Wenger and Lu Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

Manchester City have completely surrendered.

Anyway, there's a crucial Premier League match in a few days.

Let's just accept losing the League Cup.

Being able to overtake the score in the Premier League standings and win the league title is even more important.

The last two minutes flew by.

Clattenburg didn't add a single second of stoppage time; the game ended as soon as the three minutes of stoppage time were up.

Congratulations to Arsenal on winning their first trophy of the season!

"After winning three consecutive FA Cup titles, they finally have another trophy to add to their collection!"

"Lu Xiao's outstanding performance since joining the team this season has us eagerly anticipating more."

Perhaps they are about to break the more than 20-year Premier League title drought?

Welcome to BBCsports!

We will bring you the most anticipated Premier League title race match!

Arsenal versus Manchester City!

……

"OOOOOOOO——"

"Yeah!!!!"

"Champions!! Champions!! We are the champions!!"

With vice-captain Ramsey lifting the trophy, the entire Arsenal team stood on the podium, lifting the League Cup trophy.

Of all the trophies that Premier League teams can compete for, apart from the Community Shield, the League Cup is the least prestigious.

But the more champions the better.

The Arsenal players are very happy.

"We are the champions!!"

"Hopefully, we can say that by the end of the season!"

Standing in the crowd, Lu Xiao silently ticked a box on his "championship list".

The seven-trophy plan – the English League Cup title is complete (1/7)!

The following projects still need to be completed:

Premier League champions, FA Cup champions, Champions League champions, Community Shield champions, UEFA Super Cup champions, FIFA Club World Cup champions!!
