Chapter 40: Depressed August

"Gooooooo-OL, Hangrande, Hangrande scored Arsenal's goal for us, 1-0, we are ahead of Arsenal, we are ahead of Arsenal by !!"

The on-site commentators at Fulham roared hoarsely, and the entire Kravennon Stadium instantly turned into a sea of joy.

"you Madea Arsenal, go to you Mada North London!"

"We're ahead, we're the masters here!"

"That's it, kick them home and call Mom!"

Wanton shouting, the Fulham fans completely vented their frustration at the last game of Hull City's last-minute reversal in this game, and their cheering and shouting did not stop from the beginning.

Finally, in the twenty-first minute of the game, Hangrande took advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick to break through Arsenal's goal, and their excitement reached the most, and the shouts resounded in the sky.

The Fulham players were also quite excited, hugging the goal-scorer Hangrande one by one.

In contrast, Arsenal's players were a little helpless, looking at each other one by one, and letting Almunia complain there.

This goal, it was his own defense mistake again, allowing the opponent to undefend the goal from close range, Almunia felt very sad.

"Arsenal's defense, first Galla didn't look at people, missed Hangrande, let him grab the point, and then the Spaniard stood + one + book + read + novel xstxt in the wrong position and didn't save the ball.

Hey, John, I'm getting more and more convinced of what you've said, Arsenal's defensive problems aren't as competitive as Chelsea and Manchester United. ”

Seeing the goal conceded, Lineker shook his head one after another.

Before the start of the game, he was still optimistic about Arsenal, who knew that the first goal would be the weaker Fulham.

"Well, but it's still early in the game, look at how Arsenal's attack goes, in the first 20 minutes of the first half, Arsenal's attack didn't have a big impact because of the change of midfielders, and it was still able to give Fulham enough pressure. Now it's up to Bam Adebayor and Robin van Persie to take their chances. ”

Mortensen was also a little frustrated for Arsenal, but his eyes began to stay on Arsenal's attack.

With the departure of the five veterans at the back, as well as Vieira, Campbell, Lehmann and others, Arsenal's defense has no bright spots, and what can attract fans is Arsenal's gorgeous attack.

In the Premier League, Arsene Wenger's team style has always been unique, with smooth coordination, passing and cutting between the marches, and never dragging the muddy one-goal pass.

Even if it is the same infiltration, it is faster and faster than others, never dull, and the small range of dazzling cooperation makes people fascinated.

Motensen is looking forward to Arsenal having such an attack.

Unfortunately, that kind of combination, with the injuries of Cesc Fabregas and Rosicky, is difficult to repeat. Nasri has yet to grasp that essence, and Arsenal's attack will not be able to regain its central style in the near future.

Now, the flanks are Arsenal's main point of attack, not only because Arsenal are used to making a fuss about the opponent's two ribs, but now more importantly, Arsenal have a high point Adebayor.

In the second minute after Fulham's goal, Arsenal had a great chance.

Walcoat used his speed to shake off the opponent, looked up at the penalty area, and with a "snap", he directly lifted the ball high and hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

"Top out, top out!"

"Don't let him jump!"

The Fulham fans had not yet woken up from the excitement when they saw Arsenal roaring anxiously with such a swift comeback.

A muffled "bang".

Fulham's No. 18 Aaron? Hughes only felt a pain in his back, a huge black shadow had already shone on himself, and his body fell rapidly.

"Emmanuel, oh! ****!” Luke's chagrined voice echoed across the pitch with the sighs of Arsenal fans.

"It's okay." Cario pulled Hughes up, although he was just fighting for the ball, but he also pressed against his teammate with Adebayo, I don't know if it crushed him.

"Whew, it's okay, thank you." Hughes rubbed his back, shook his head, and thanked his teammates.

Although he was pressed, if his teammates hadn't jumped on the opponent's side in time to interfere just now, the ball might have been pushed in, and it would have been his own dereliction of duty, so he naturally had to be grateful to his teammates.

"Adebayo was a little anxious about his performance on the pitch today." Mortensen shook his head, a bit sorry for Adebayor to miss the goal.

"Well, Bam Adebayo started today very excited, he ran very aggressively, he wanted to score early, but this is only the second game, and according to Bam Adebayo's performance last season, the goals will come sooner or later."

Lineker can see that he is anxious for Adebayo, but he also understands Adebayo's mood now.

After all, Adebayo scored 24 goals in the league last season, if it weren't for Ronaldo's rebellion, the latest goalscorer would have been his, and he is eager to score goals to continue last season's form, which is normal.

Adebayo's impatience is not only the reason Lineker said, but more importantly, this game is his big enemy who is not on the field.

I have to prove myself through this game, and the reason why I missed so many opportunities in the last game is the problem of the opponent, not myself.

It's a pity that now...

"Damn it! ****! ”

Adebayo saw that the two central defenders on the other side were helping each other, so he could only mumble hatefully and kick the turf to vent his anger.

This ball jumped early on its own, otherwise, with its own bounce, where can Cario interfere.

Adebayo could only retreat in frustration, waiting for the next opportunity. And Arsenal, who were one goal behind, also began to desperately put pressure on the opponent's half.

In the 31st minute, Nasri broke through and was brought down by the opponent in the first three meters of the penalty area, and Arsenal won a free kick opportunity.

Unfortunately, Van Persie's golden left foot hit the outside edge of the crossbar and flew out.

"Whew~~~~" The stadium resounded with the gasps of the Fulham fans.

In the 39th minute, Bam Adebayor wasted another best chance of the entire first half.

Denilson successfully counter-attacked Cario in the front, and Arsenal formed a three-on-two situation in the opponent's half, but Adebayo chose to pass in the middle, but Hughes was cleverly poked away by Hughes.

Arsenal's counter-attack came to an abrupt end, and Hughes reciprocated this time by wiping his ass for his teammate.

Walcott, who stepped forward, saw the scene of Adebayo losing the ball, and jumped straight to his feet in place angrily.

As long as Adebayo had a one-point on the side, Walcourt drove straight in, a steady one-on-one shot.

After that, whether Walcourt chooses to shoot or knock on the middle and send the back point, it is a sure thing, but Adebayo lost the ball in the most stupid way, how could Walcott not be angry.

"Damn, what the hell does he think!"

"What's wrong with Emmanuel?!"

"Really, I know how to do it."

The 3,000 Arsenal fans who came with the team couldn't help but complain, but jumped up on the spot, but they were more angry and shook their heads.

Wenger didn't say anything, but at the moment when Adebayo lost the ball, he couldn't help but spread out his hands holding his chest and subconsciously dissatisfied with Adebayo.

"What's wrong with Adebayo, it's not his level. This is no longer a matter of urgency, anxiety, the whole Arsenal team is anxious to get the equalizer back, but Adebayo's handling of this ball shows that his mentality is a little unbalanced. You know, this is only the first half, Arsenal have the time and the ability to turn it around, and Adebayo's form is terrible. ”

Lineker can't understand that a good striker can handle the ball like this, and you can handle it like this, but you pass the opponent, you go it alone, and you are cut back by the opponent, there is nothing more stupid than this.

This is the best illustration of whether you will die if you don't die, Lineker made a 'verdict' for today's Adebayo.

Mortensen also shook his head one after another when he saw the ball, thought for a while, and said his thoughts, "Is it because the issue of contract renewal has affected Adebayo, so it makes him look more anxious than the other players." ”

"It's possible, but in this state, if you want to get a high salary, it's hard to be convincing, and Adebayo has to find his form by himself." Lineker nodded, agreeing with Mortenson's guess.

But no matter what the two of them said, Arsenal's chances were lost, and with Webber's whistle, Arsenal were 1-0 down and heading into the half.

'Fulham did a great job in the first half, a goal that gave them more confidence and a good way to defend their ribs.

As for Arsenal, they missed quite a few chances, especially Bam Adebayo. Coach Wenger has to find a way to score as soon as possible, otherwise, Fulham will be more confident in the second half, which will be very bad for Arsenal. ”

After a brief analysis of the midfield, Lineker hit the nail on the head and pointed out Arsenal's top priority, which is to attack.

"Well, now it seems that although Denilson does not have the talent of Hao, he is also qualified to play the main player, and his performance in the first half can score 7 points, but he is a little lacking in offensive creativity.

In the second half, Wenger looked at whether to replace Hao early, if midfielder Wenger could not ensure that Adebayo's form could return, then Wenger should also remove him as soon as possible. ”

Mortensen nodded, elaborating further on Lineker's words.

Originally, when he saw Arsenal's starting list today, he had some opinions about Xiang Hao's failure to play, thinking that Wenger's tactics were inappropriate. However, after seeing Denilson's conscientious performance, he changed his opinion and left room for comments.

At the moment, Arsene Wenger is also facing the same problem, and is more satisfied with Denilson's performance, while Adebayo is quite annoyed by him.

But Arsene Wenger isn't really a coach who kills people with a stick, unless you don't really want him to be trusted, or there's a better player in front of you.

Obviously, Adebayo was not in those two situations, Wenger walked up to him, his eyes locked on the Togolese, "Emmanuel, is it okay in the second half?" ”
