The ball bounced back into the penalty area and was controlled by Kompany. He then kicked it upfield to David Silva, who dribbled the ball to launch a counterattack.
On the sidelines, Mancini's eyes brightened. He immediately looked toward Aguero and Balotelli near the penalty area, hoping they would run to a good position to receive the ball.
"Boom." David Silva immediately passed the ball to Aguero and rushed into the penalty area himself, cutting behind the Arsenal defense.
Aguero followed with a through ball, and the two executed a two-on-two play on the edge of the penalty area, creating a one-on-one chance.
David Silva approached the goal and saw Balotelli open on the far side. After a slight hesitation, he decided to face the goal directly and resolved to settle the matter himself.
Balotelli is too inconsistent. Passing to him might result in him attempting a Marseille turn shot or a backheel shot, reducing a 90% chance to just 30%.
"Boom!"
