Chapter 619 Outrageously Strong Command of the Sage

On the sidelines, Wenger furrowed his brow.

He sensed something was off.

If initially Arsenal and Manchester City's flanks were at a ratio of forty-sixty, favoring Arsenal,

Now Arsenal had dwindled to forty.

Why did this number feel so familiar???

Manchester City was getting faster.

No.

It was Arsenal who had slowed down.

Wu Xudong, the fastest on the field, wasn't much quicker than Sun Jihai in that last defense.

Van Bronckhorst's pace was totally outclassed by Lahm.

Stamina!

"Defense! Vieira! Make everyone hold their positions! Don't attack rashly!" Wenger commanded from the sidelines.

His will resonated throughout the team through Vieira.

The seventieth minute.

A fierce midfield battle erupted between Yaya Toure and Vieira.

Toure didn't lose the ball but consequently passed a risky one to Deng Kai.

Deng Kai's backheel pass was meant for Ashley Young, but because of the risky pass, it wasn't perfectly handled and lacked strength.
