Chapter 292: Depressed Togolese

"Toot!"

The shrill whistle is like that of the Arsenal fans in the stands at the Emirates Stadium.

In the 31st minute, Dodd walked up to De Jong and showed the Dutchman the first yellow card of the game.

Twice in a row, first Bridges pulled Walcott who cut inside at high speed, and then De Jong, who returned to the defense, kicked Walcott down.

The long-squeezed frustration at the Emirates Stadium erupted, and Dodd's hand was no longer soft, giving the Manchester City man a warning.

Arsenal won a free-kick on the right side of the pitch and were in a good position. Cesc Fabregas walked up to the ball and he handled it.

Although Hughes consciously asked his players to strengthen the defense in this area, Theo's speed was a burden on both Bridge and Dunn, and Kompany was strong enough, but the speed was still a little bit worse.

City were well placed by Arsenal and with Cesc Fabregas's footwork, he could come up with a nice pass. Lineker looked at the pitch with a little expectation.

This ferocious Arsenal were the rhythm they should have, and now it looks like Cesc Fabregas's first step back has been a success.

"Manchester City is going to keep an eye on people, this ball may be very fast, there is a tacit understanding between the Arsenal players, and they can grab it quickly, but Manchester City does not have this tacit understanding."

Motensen was confident in Cesc Fabregas' quality and was not surprised that Arsenal would open up the game later, but only gave City a wake-up call and analysed the possible variables of the goal.

"Toot!" "Smack!"

As soon as Dodd's whistle fell, Cesc Fabregas did not stop at all, and sent the ball directly into the penalty area.

As Mortensen said, Cesc Fabregas was extremely quick to play, and as Mortensen feared, the City players were a step slower to react than the Arsenal players.

As Cesc Fabregas took the ball, players from both sides huddled together, but one man got around the crowd and moved slightly back.

is not Xiang Hao, who is partnered with Cesc Fabregas in the midfield, but Bendtner who is in front.

I don't know if the Dane was squeezed out, or if he consciously fell into that position, anyway, the ball that Fabregas took went around an outer arc and fell quickly in front of the Dane's eyes.

Bendtner arrived from behind, but no one was fighting for him. With the inertia of the forward insertion, with a flick of the head, the ball bounced off the turf, dodging all obstacles in front of the goal, and went directly into the goal.

“GOOOOOO――OL!!! Niklas, Niklas scored, Niklas scored for us!! ”

Luke's cheers rang out just in time and the Emirates Stadium was instantly transformed into a sea of joy as Arsenal fans hugged and cheered in celebration of the goal.

"Hehe, boss, I scored, I scored in front of that guy's eyes."

Bendtner smiled extraordinarily, held his arms, and Xiang Hao came to a chest, extremely excited.

"Well done, Niklas." Xiang Hao was also happy for him.

At least this goal, Bendtner was a slap in the face to Adebayo, who shouted before the game that Arsenal did not have a good striker.

After Bendtner grabbed the point, it was Adebayo, but when the Togolese saw the ball, he didn't interfere or fight for the ball, he just stood there and waited for the ball to come.

The main responsibility for this goal was Adebayo's defensive mistakes.

Looking at the eyes of his teammates, there were some accusations, Adebayo looked at the ball in embarrassment, not knowing what to say. Because at that moment, the Togolese did have a trace of trance, thinking that this ball, Fabregas passed to him.

But Adebayo felt unjustly panicked, the ball came too fast, and he felt that his teammates behind him should remind him that someone from behind him was coming.

However, this reminder was not heard, and Adebayo felt that his teammates had also failed in their duties, and the responsibility could not be fully counted on himself.

Feeling a little unhappy, Adebayo simply ran back to the area where he was supposed to go. Now that the team has conceded a goal, make up for it with their goals and live up to what they said before the game.

"Hey, John, you said that Manchester City players should pay attention to marking, Adebayo still missed, Manchester City team is afraid it will be difficult to play now."

Lineker has to worry a little for Manchester City.

The loss of the set-piece means that the entire defense of the front is in vain, and Manchester City's entire tactics must change with it, and the score is behind, and it is inevitable to switch from defense to attack.

And the change in the score is also equivalent to letting go of the pressure on Arsenal's attack, their attack will not be so careful, but will continue to press on the momentum.

Lineker seems to know Arsenal too well in so many games, and it is difficult for any team to resist the waves of attacking waves.

Attack to attack, defend to defend. It's a real challenge for Manchester City, especially since City is not a monolithic team with a serious star style.

"Now it seems that Hughes's ability to control this team is still very reluctant, and Manchester City is still a team that has been piling up money, not a team that fights as a whole.

The tacit understanding of their players on the pitch is really terrible, and if it weren't for Dodd's mercy today, I'm afraid they wouldn't have so many chances to intercept Arsenal's midfield in the first half. ”

A glimpse of the whole leopard. Seeing Manchester City's performance of conceding the goal, Mortensen knew that this team has not yet been kneaded into shape, and it may be possible to play with the tailwind, but it is difficult to play against the wind. Unless there is a strong person, on and off the field, who can make the players think and play with one mind, otherwise they don't want to.

Hughes wanted to be that strong man, so when he conceded the goal, he immediately set it up.

Signal the players to press the attack, continue to maintain the agitation of the Arsenal midfield, whether it is a ground ball or a high-altitude ball, you have to grab it!

At the same time, Arsenal has also changed here, not because Wenger made a conscious arrangement, but between the players, to be precise, between Xiang Hao and Cesc Fabregas.

As the game progressed, Cesc Fabregas became more and more integrated into the game, and he was no longer willing to fall the ball in the back. He wants to be more directly involved in the attack up front, to be a point of attack, to get into the City penalty area.

Cesc Fabregas was positioned as Lineker had guessed, more into the midfield position, in the middle. Arshavin and Walcott split on either side of him, behind Bengtner.

Naturally, his position in the middle of the midfield was filled by Xiang Hao, and the backfield entered the middle of the field, which was handled by him.

Adebayo finally ushered in the opportunity to directly 'oppose' with Xiang Hao!

"Shhh

"Foul, foul!"

"Hao get past him, get past him!"

The boos shouted all over the sky, and in their opinion, Adebayo pestered Xiang Hao to get out of the ball, like a leper dog, making them disgusting.

Buckle, twist, turn, pull...

Xiang Hao used various moves to avoid the interceptions of Adebayo and Manchester City players, and always ensured a smooth transition of the ball from him.

Adebayo wanted to rely on the advantage of his own body several times to destroy Xiang Hao's shot, but he was passed by Xiang Hao, and it was a hard fight and a struggle for strength.

Adebayo was very depressed and helpless, he couldn't be more rude, it would be like Kompany, not only did he get a yellow card, but he also had to leave the field for treatment.

Pick up the ball, grab it again, and get stuck on your own route. Xiang Hao once again got rid of Adebayo's entanglement and quickly passed through the center circle.

Adebayo wanted to pursue all the way, but unfortunately the speed of the Togolese was fundamentally Xiang Hao, and he could only watch Xiang Hao throw himself away.

Another failure, a wave of frustration hit me.

That kind of momentum has never been seen in the team before, even Flamini, who is called 'fighting dogs' by the team, does not feel like this.

Between advancing and retreating, he can calmly measure, and he is more domineering than Sesk, whom he admires.

How is it possible, in just a few months, the other party has grown to this point.

Adebayo's originally jealous heart was even more scorching at the moment, staring at Xiang Hao deadly.

If you are not convinced, how can the Togolese people be convinced, if you want to fulfill what you said before the game, do you want to be laughed at by those people?!

Adebayo's heart has been completely ignited.

His forcing was gotten rid of by Xiang Hao again and again, but he failed to make the Togolese soften, but his fighting spirit became more and more vigorous. For him, the game has just begun, and half an hour is enough time for him to catch up.

With this belief in mind, Adebayo threw himself into the fight once again. Similarly, the tuckering between Arsenal and Manchester City continues.

When Cesc Fabregas ceded the power of the midfield link to Xiang Hao, Arsenal faced Manchester City's interception more easily.

Cesc Fabregas was taken out, and Kompany and others naturally did not stay near the center circle, and after a slight move, the attention was more focused on Arsenal's front-court players.

In this way, Xiang Hao and Alexander Song were given enough space, and there was not so much force. In terms of confrontation, neither Xiang Hao nor Cameroonians are afraid.

Arsenal's midfielder can be pinched, which means that the lifeline is in his own hands, and a feeling of free breathing is immediately present on the field.

As Mortensen and Lineker have said, Arsenal's attack is starting to sweep away.

In the 31st minute, Cesc Fabregas dominated, Sagna passed, and Bendtner's shot from the right side of the box went wide of the near corner.

In the 33rd minute, Theo Walcott's cross was met by Cesc Fabregas from a tight angle on the left side of the box, but it was a pity that the goal was deflected wide of the far corner.

In the 36th minute, Walcourt continued to get opportunities on the right side of the penalty area, first Xiang Hao passed, the Englishman's push was confiscated by Given's first time, and the second shot was subconsciously blocked by Gilvin with his foot. In the confusion, Dunn cleared in time for the goal line.

In the half-time game, with a goal from Bendtner, the momentum of Arsenal completely controlled the game, and Bendtner, Denilson and Ramsey's shots were deflected one after another.
