[Detected rage level off the charts]! An explosive goal right from the start left Wenger completely stunned!
Wembley Stadium is dazzling and radiant.
The FA Cup, founded in 1871, is the world's oldest international football competition, bar none!
Last season, Arsenal won the FA Cup for the second consecutive season.
Winning the FA Cup for two consecutive years has led fans to jokingly refer to the award as the "thermos cup."
Similar to Mancini when he coached in Serie A more than a decade ago, Wenger's teams are now unable to make a splash in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League;
The FA Cup, the oldest and most prestigious traditional cup competition in UK, became Wenger's lifeline to give back to the board and the fans.
Before the game started, the two veteran coaches met in the coaching area.
Pellegrini, 63, and Wenger, 67, are both elderly managers in Britain.
Both men had silver hair, were tall, and had refined manners.
"Hello, Mr. Wenger." Pellegrini extended his hand.
"Hello," Wenger replied coldly, grasping Pellegrini's hand and suddenly tightening his grip, as if testing a hand gripper.
Pellegrini remained unfazed, but increased the pressure in his hand.
The two remained frozen in place, their clasped hands trembling in the air as they exerted force on each other, their faces gradually turning red.
"We observed that the two head coaches spent a considerable amount of time shaking hands before the match!"
"It's been almost a minute, and they're still shaking hands!"
Both of them had smiles on their faces, their cheeks flushed from laughing!
"Especially Wenger, his neck turned red!"
"It seems that the relationship between the two sides has not soured because of Arsenal's previous three defeats!"
"Both assistant coaches stepped forward, and it took them a lot of effort to separate their head coaches' hands!"
"It seems the two of them have a really close relationship!"
If we're talking about a really close relationship, then it's incredibly close; they'd practically slap each other to death!
In a league match, Wenger, enraged by the loss, got into a physical altercation with Pellegrini. Players from both sides rushed at each other, creating chaos on the field and becoming the laughing stock of Europe football that week.
Joe Hart and Agüero were also suspended for three matches, which was a significant blow to Manchester City, who were on the rise at the time.
This suspension controversy caused quite a stir within Manchester City, and even many years later, it remains a significant event!
First, substitute goalkeeper Caballero seized the opportunity to step up, showcasing impressive ball control skills in three league matches. He not only perfectly integrated into the team's passing and control system but also greatly improved the team's passing and receiving ability in the backfield, causing the opponent's high pressing to frequently fail.
From then on, Joe Hart's career never recovered, and he went from being a starter to a substitute.
In the few matches he did manage to make an appearance, he made numerous mistakes, repeatedly becoming the backdrop for opponents' spectacular goals, turning into a laughing stock in the football world, and indirectly leading to the complete loss of influence of the local English-speaking Faction in the Manchester City dressing room.
Although Bony didn't manage to secure a starting position, Bony was still utilized by Tang Long's passes during the three matches Agüero was suspended for!
This season, Bony, as a rotation player, has surprisingly scored 17 goals, making him the team's third-highest scorer after Agüero and Tang Long, and successfully equaling his best season record at Swansea.
It was under the competitive pressure from Bony that Agüero his explosive potential!
He cruised through the competition, eventually racking up a league goal tally of 37, including only 4 penalties, making him arguably the most prestigious Golden Boot winner in the Premier League.
At this moment, Agüero stood in the center circle, his foot on the ball, looking around.
Wembley Stadium, packed with 90,000 spectators, was the largest stadium in England. Amid the cacophony, Agüero couldn't even hear what Tang Long was saying to his teammates behind him as he clapped and cheered.
However, Agüero wasn't listening; his thoughts were already wandering off into space.
He was standing on the grass at Wembley Stadium, but his mind was filled with those unbearable 50 hours of community service.
Together with Joe Hart, he was constantly being bossed around by sanitation workers in the streets and alleys of Manchester, being ordered around to trim tree branches, take out the trash, and sweep the ground, leaving himself covered in dirt and grime.
Some malicious Manchester United fans followed him all the way, took photos without his knowledge, and then reported him to the Premier League League Disciplinary Committee, saying that he was not doing a good job of cleaning and was lazy, and that he should be punished more severely.
Agüero, annoyed by being followed the whole way, raised his fist and threatened to punch the Manchester United fan.
No sooner had the fist been raised than the latter followed up with a downward thrust, one of them holding a phone to record the scene while screaming:
"Someone's been assaulted! Manchester City player Agüero has assaulted someone!"
Those three weeks were a nightmare for Agüero.
"It's all because of Wenger!"
The referee's whistle, piercing through the clouds, finally pulled Agüero back to reality.
Instead of passing the ball to Sterling beside him, he passed it back heavily and then charged forward, cursing all the while!
Tang Long, seeing the ball coming at the same speed as a shot, had no time to be surprised. He stepped back and used the instep of his foot to control the ball in mid-air.
Because Agüero's shot came suddenly, Tang Long was not prepared at all, so he stopped the ball a bit too far. Immediately, the opposing center forward Giroud rushed over.
Giroud is tall and strong, and his charge is powerful and oppressive – he capitalized on Tang Long's mistake in controlling the ball.
Fortunately, Tang Long was agile and quick-witted. Before the ball could fall, he jumped up and headed it towards Gündoğan, the defensive midfielder five meters behind him.
As the ball flew through the air, several Arsenal forwards and midfielders pushed past the halfway line;
Giroud, Iwobi, and Sanchez all rushed towards Gündoğan, and for a moment, the Germany midfielder faced an even more difficult situation in receiving the ball than Tang Long.
If they pushed the ball further back, it would be very dangerous. Gündoğan, who was quite shrewd, spotted Tang Long quickly moving into an open space. He could only use the ball to propel it back to Tang Long with a header.
"Are you crazy Agüero? You almost lost!"
Gündoğan muttered under his breath, wondering what was wrong with Agüero the center circle kick.
-[Agüero's rage meter is full, entering peak condition, 10-second countdown]
-[9,8,...]
Bang!
Before the ball even landed, Tang Long launched a long ball into Arsenal's attacking third!
[7,6,...]
The 172cm tall Agüero leaped high into the air, knocking aside the 179cm tall Elneny, then swung his chest and landed on his feet, where Elneny was lying on the ground, Elneny forward.
"Holy crap, you can even control the ball like that???" Gündoğan was completely stunned from afar!
[5,4,...]
Agüero's fighting spirit was not affected at all by this aerial confrontation. He ignored Sterling and Navas who were supporting him and dribbled straight into the Arsenal penalty area!
The Ramsey tackle from behind couldn't reach him!
Koscielny tugged at his arm, but couldn't hold on!
Gabriel and Bellerin closed the door, but they couldn't catch him!
[2,1...]
Agüero shoots!!!
He completely exposed Cech's weak point; there was no way to counter it!!!
The live stream chat exploded!
-[Wait, what am I seeing?!]
Five Arsenal players couldn't contain Agüero!
"He's unbelievably strong! Is this really Agüero? I don't know him!"
-[Awesome! This is getting me fired up!]
[It's still the Tang-A connection. Can anyone tell me how many times they've connected this season?]
After scoring, Agüero, like an enraged lion, his hair standing on end, pounded his chest with the Manchester City crest while roaring at Wenger on the sidelines:
"Come on, old man, keep the suspension going! Come on!"
Gündoğan had never seen such a satisfying goal in his career. He held his head in his hands, his face filled with disbelief, and walked over to Tang Long, excitedly saying, "He's insane! This guy is absolutely insane! I've never seen such a strong Agüero before! Tang, you got an assist for free!"
Tang Long was also stunned by Agüero's incredible goal.
He never expected that Agüero, whose anger was at its peak, would unleash an unprecedented amount of energy in just ten seconds.
"Haha, he's always been strong, let him go crazy! It's the last match, if he doesn't go crazy now he'll miss his chance!"
They conceded a goal less than 20 seconds into the game.
Wenger was stunned.
Amid the deafening roar of Manchester City fans at Wembley Stadium, Wenger felt a surge of heat, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He instinctively reached into his suit pocket, wanting to pull out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
But after feeling around four or five times, until sweat dripped from his forehead into his eyes, he still couldn't find the right pocket.
Agüero's explosive performance at the start of the game left Wenger both flustered and confused.
He was secretly alarmed. "Based on my understanding of Agüero, he couldn't possibly be that good. Even Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't have done that. How did Agüero explode at the start? And that high pass from Tang, it was so high and floaty, why would he pass like that? Was it on purpose? That's strange..."
