'Well, he played well in the reserves and he's back.'

Before the game even started, the momentum was already in Arsenal's rhythm.

The Emirates Stadium was filled with red and white in midweek, and Arsenal's home game against Cardiff City kicked off in the fourth round of the 2008/09 English FA Cup.

Arsenal fans chanted the names of their heroes in the loudest voices, and the stands were full of words "welcome back", and posters of Eduardo occupied the entire stands.

And in front of the camera, this strong Croatian also has a slight moisturization in his eyes. Apparently he was also touched by Arsenal's enthusiasm.

The whole Emirates Stadium was in this mood until the start of the game.

"Cardiff City is not easy to play in this game."

Seeing that Arsenal were so strong at home, before the game even started, Lineker made a judgment and felt anxious for Cardiff City.

"Well, the momentum of the whole Arsenal has risen, the unstoppable momentum, which is too bad for Cardiff City."

Mortensen also saw the strong atmosphere of Arsenal's home stadium at the moment, because of the 'arrogance' of Eduardo's comeback.

At this time, not to mention the Championship-level team, even Chelsea or Manchester United, in this kind of momentum, it is difficult to say that they can suppress Arsenal.

Cardiff City basically this game is more than lucky. Jones also knew that his team might not be able to hold it down in this game, so he looked anxious from the start of the game, pacing back and forth on the sidelines.

Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, was much calmer, quietly watching the situation on the field, while behind him were more than 60,000 people shouting in unison, cheering for his team.

In the cheers of the Arsenal fans, Arsenal immediately launched their own attacking frenzy and brought the first wave of climax.

In the 5th minute for Arsenal, Nasri cut inside, suddenly split the ball and followed Sagna with a high ball from the right.

Bendtner, whose confidence is always high, is like a carp about to jump into the goal, pressing the entire Cardiff City backline, facing the ball, the lion shakes his head, "Bang! ”

"Oh, ****!"

"Damn, it's a little bit worse!"

"Damn the pillar!"

…

Bendtner's header came close to hitting the edge of the post and flying out, leaving Arsenal missing a great opportunity.

One minute later, Arsenal made a comeback, Eduardo passed the ball outside the box, and Vela fired a powerful volley directly from the edge of the box, but it was saved by Cardiff City goalkeeper Heaton.

Bendtner's 10-yard shot was bravely blocked by the goalkeeper on loan from Manchester United.

"Huhu

In the seventh minute, Arsenal's attack shifted to the left, Gibbs crossed from the left, Sagna followed up with a header from a tight angle at the far post, and was blocked by a brave Heaton with one hand.

In the 13th minute, Bendtner crossed and Eduardo headed wide. Denilson then passed the ball and Eduardo shot wide from distance.

Arsenal's attacking flow continued without knocking on the door of Cardiff City, and finally, in the 20th minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead.

And this goal is a scene that everyone wants to see.

Xiang Hao plugged the ball straight into the penalty area, and after Eduardo received the ball, he did not turn around in the face of a group of Cardiff City defenders, but knocked the ball outside.

Bella, who is almost a big left winger, takes the ball on the left edge of the penalty area, accelerates and grabs the space, "Smack!" "Cross.

Watching the ball coming, Eduardo's pupils shrank sharply, he felt his opportunity coming, sprinted with all his might, ignored the other party's pull, and at eight yards, the whole person was thrown out, "Smack!" ”

“GOOOOOOOOOOOO――OL！！！！！ Eduardo, Eduardo Alves da Silva, our hero, our hero scored, he scored the first goal of his comeback!! ”

Pulling at his throat, Luke roared with all his lung capacity, stirring up the atmosphere at the entire Emirates Stadium.

"Eduardo - Hero!"

"Eduardo - Hero!"

"Eduardo - Hero!"

…

The entire Emirates Stadium was filled with the sound of cheering heroes. After nearly a year, Eduardo finally returned, and in the first game he came back, he scored a goal.

There is nothing more touching than this story, the scene is all on his body, watching him kneel on the Emirates Stadium, kissing the turf, and now there are fans in tears, watching this scene with emotion.

The momentum of the whole Arsenal has reached the extreme, and the players of Cardiff City are standing in place one by one, a little dazed.

They didn't know how the game was going, the only thing they could think of was that the game was no longer on their side.

But no matter what the Cardiff players think, the game has to go on, the play has to be played, the tactics are in place, they can still do it, set-pieces are their only means.

In the 26th minute, Burke took a corner kick and Roger Johnson shot wide. It was Cardiff's only shot on goal in the half.

The rest is time for Arsenal's attacking performances.

In the 28th minute, Denilson passed the ball and Nasri's shot from outside the arc of the box was saved by Heaton.

Arsenal, who stormed around the half, finally extended the score in the 34th minute. Nasri whipped in a corner from the left, and in the first 30 minutes, Turner, who had wasted many chances, finally took advantage of it, heading home from seven yards out.

In the first half, Arsenal had a chance to continue to extend the scoreline. In the 39th minute, after Xiang Hao dipped two defenses, he passed, and the unmarked Denilson shot wide from a distance.

Arsenal missed a great chance in the 45th minute when Sagna's cross from the right was saved by Vela from 10 yards, and the unguarded Bendtner fired from five yards, a second hit the post, and again was saved by Heaton.

The first half of the game was also over. In the second half, Arsenal, who had an absolute advantage, deliberately slowed down the pace of the game and did not want to consume their physical energy too much.

In the 57th minute, Nasri made a direct pass, and Bendtner's powerful shot from 15 yards on the right side of the penalty area was still blocked by Heaton with his legs.

In the 59th minute, Cardiff City's shot also hit the woodwork for the first time, and Boothroyd's long-range shot from 30 yards was parried by Fabianski.

Arsenal sealed the win in the 60th minute, and this time, it was still Eduardo, who came back.

"Toot!"

"Penalty!" "Penalty!" "Penalty!" …

With the whole stadium shouting, Dodd finally pointed his finger to the penalty spot. Rey's foul on Eduardo in the box - penalty!

"Bang Bang"

Thunderous applause, all Arsenal fans applauded Dodd's decision, and at this time, Eduardo also held the ball, walked to the penalty spot, and put it down.

Watching Heaton calmly, Eduardo converted a self-created penalty to score a brace in the spotlight of the audience.

“GOOOOOOOOO――OL！！！ Eduardo, Eduardo is back!! ”

Luke used the simplest of words to explain the definition of this game.

The Croatian shook off his team-mate from afar and rushed to Arsenal's fitness coach Toney's side, giving him a passionate hug and thanking him for helping him during this time.

Eduardo still had the chance to score a hat-trick, but unfortunately, in the 66th minute, his volley from the left side of the penalty area was blocked, which made Arsenal fans regret.

With three goals in hand, after 70 minutes, Wenger waved his hand, Van Persie and Ramsey replaced Eduardo and Nasri respectively, and the fans gave a standing ovation to cheer for Eduardo.

In the 89th minute, Bendtner passed through and Van Persie scored from 12 yards. 4-0！

In the 92nd minute, Bendtner passed to the back post from the left, and Van Persie's header hit the neutral post and bounced.
