The 5th minute of the match.
Fly suddenly found that this match was even simpler than he had imagined.
Because Fabregas had just played a through ball to him, Fly instantly accelerated, completely outpacing Boyata, and reached the ball before Jerome Boateng.
As a result, at this moment, Boyata, who had been completely beaten behind Fly, directly launched a tackle from behind on him.
You should know that the moment Fly touched the ball, he had become the person closest to Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
In other words, if Boyata hadn't tackled from behind, this ball would have been a one-on-one opportunity.
Bayern's future world-class center-back Jerome Boateng was already completely out of position and couldn't effectively interfere with Fly at all.
Boyata was essentially using a foul to directly disrupt a golden scoring opportunity for Arsenal.
The Main Referee didn't hesitate at all, ran to where Fly was tackled, and directly pulled out a red card from his back pocket, sending Boyata off!
"Mister Referee, I didn't do it on purpose, Fly is diving!"
The Main Referee completely ignored Boyata's defense, simply pointing towards the player tunnel with his hand and ordering him to leave the field quickly!
Manchester City had a player sent off with a red card just 5 minutes into the match, facing the disadvantage of playing with 10 men against 11!
The fans in the stadium also erupted in thunderous boos after seeing Boyata sent off.
Many Manchester City fans shouted that it was a biased call, many others accused Fly of diving, and some even directly launched personal attacks and racial discrimination against Fly.
Wenger stood on the sidelines, furious and losing control, once again pressuring the Fourth Official on the touchline.
If he hadn't seen Fly get up in time, Wenger probably wouldn't have calmed down for a while.
"Tsk~~~ That really hurts, damn it, that son of a bitch tackled really viciously!"
Even after standing up, Fly could clearly feel the pain in his foot.
Fly guessed that if it weren't for the system, this flying tackle from behind would definitely have forced Fly off the field!
"Alright, alright, alright, Manchester City, it seems you want to die, so you can't blame me!"
Seeing that some people in the stands were launching personal attacks and racial discrimination against him, Fly, who was already very uncomfortable from the violent flying tackle, felt the flames in his heart surge even higher!
He decided, he wouldn't show Manchester City any mercy; he had to completely crush Manchester City in this match!
Let alone the point reward from the system task, even without it, Fly would still crush Manchester City!
This match could be said to be the one where Fly felt the most anger since joining the first team; if he didn't vent properly, outsiders might actually think he, Fly, was a good-natured person!
After Fabregas took over the free kick duty, he made a slight adjustment, the ball arced beautifully through the air, curved around the wall, and was ultimately saved by Joe Hart at full stretch, giving Arsenal the first corner kick of the match.
Ultimately, Nasri's cross was cleared by Jerome Boateng again, and Arsenal's attack this time was declared a failure.
The 8th minute of the match.
Blaise Matuidi kicked Milner down during a midfield challenge and was shown a yellow card.
The 13th minute of the match.
Barry almost replicated Blaise Matuidi's action during a midfield challenge, except this time the person he kicked down was Fabregas.
In the 20th minute of the match, the opportunity Arsenal had been patiently waiting for finally arrived.
After Alexandre Song intercepted Barry's ball in midfield, he played a long pass over the top to Arshavin on the right side of the attacking half.
Arshavin controlled the ball and immediately bypassed Yaya Touré's defense.
Then, during his dribble, feeling the strong defensive pressure from Yaya Touré, Arshavin was forced to kick the ball towards the left side of the penalty area.
Fly arrived like lightning, receiving the through ball from Arshavin.
But this time, because Fly was too fast, he made a significant error in controlling the ball, ultimately losing the chance to shoot directly.
This mistake directly drew laughter from the Manchester City fans in the stadium.
However, Fly's subsequent actions directly plunged Etihad Stadium into silence.
Fly chased down the ball he had over-controlled, feeling the defender pressing tightly behind him.
Fly made a feint to break through to the left, deceiving Richards' defensive balance, and then suddenly kicked the ball towards the right rear of his body.
The moment Fly kicked the ball, he also circled around Richards behind him, quickly took two steps to catch up to the ball, and then pulled the ball back to avoid Jerome Boateng's poke tackle.
Then Fly faked a shot and passed for real, deceiving Joe Hart, and pushed the ball along the ground to the overlapping Nasri.
Nasri shot near the penalty spot, Kompany threw himself to the ground to block, but it was useless; he could only watch as the ball went over his leg and flew towards the goal.
At this moment, it was too late for Joe Hart in front of the goal to shift his weight.
Finally, Nasri struck a shot near the penalty spot, the ball hit the inside of the right post and bounced into the net, Arsenal 1:0 Manchester City.
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 8, Nasri!!!"
"Undeniably, ninety percent of the credit for this goal goes to Fly."
"Although Fly over-controlled the ball initially, he made timely adjustments and used a series of clean and sharp dribbles in a small area to pass the ball to Nasri, who was near the penalty spot."
"Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart was initially deceived by Fly's feint, resulting in this goal facing no obstruction at all."
"Now Arsenal is leading 1:0 at Manchester City's home ground, Etihad Stadium."
After Arsenal scored, Etihad Stadium fell into a brief silence.
Immediately after, boos that were louder and more raucous than before rang out again.
Some of the boos this time were for Nasri, the goalscorer, but the vast majority were for Fly, the main instigator.
Facing the boos from the Manchester City fans, Fly ignored them, because he didn't score this goal, and he couldn't steal his teammate's thunder.
After he scores a goal himself later, Fly definitely won't let it go!
The 27th minute of the match.
Fabregas kicked Yaya Touré down during a midfield tackle and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
As a result, just 5 minutes later, Alexandre Song also fouled a player from the side and behind during a challenge and was also shown a yellow card by the referee.
These consecutive yellow cards completely dumbfounded Fly, who was up front.
Seriously, guys, what are you doing?
Instead of playing the ball properly, you insist on making big fouls there, do you really think the referee is blind?!
You should know that unless they have a specific task, the Main Referees in top Leagues like this are definitely not lacking in professional ability.
If you keep making big fouls here, it will be difficult for the referee not to penalize you!
After all, it's because Arsenal hasn't paid tribute to the higher-ups; wanting to receive favorable treatment is still very difficult.
