Chapter 274: The King's Arrival
"——! Toot"
Bol blew the whistle and the Arsenal fans cursed.
"Damn it! How could he do that! ”
"****!
"Bastard! That's a fake fall! ”
…
Watching Bol give Galla a yellow card and go to the wall position, Arsenal fans were furious.
But there was no way, Arsenal attacked too fiercely, lost the ball in front, and after Ghana was passed, he could only foul Halmothy and warn with a yellow card, Arsenal did not have any grievances.
Giovanni, a former Brazilian talent, in 01, Barcelona spent 12.5 million pounds to buy, and once together with Saviola, it was considered the hope of Barcelona's rise, but unfortunately his later performance and career were all the way into the water.
However, when he came to the team of Hull City, the down-and-out Giovanni was different, the absolute main force and a thigh, and he stood directly in front of the ball with outstanding footwork.
"——! Toot" "Smack!"
After the whistle, Giovanni decisively kicked up, and an arc was directly rubbed.
"Oh~~~"
"Well done!"
"Lukash has made a meritorious contribution this time!"
…
Absolute dead end, Giovanni is in Hull is to find true love, this free kick, the absolute master praise, directly around the human wall, arc flying high, spinning to the junction of the beam and the column, the arc angle of the flight, is definitely there.
It's a pity that he still couldn't get around Fabianski, who seemed to be hanging, and the Pole's relaxed posture directly released himself into the air, blocking the ball out of the bottom line with one hand, and Arsenal luckily escaped.
"——! Toot"
The end of the one-minute symbolic stoppage time.
Thirty-five minutes later, Arsenal's climax faded, the first physical bottleneck hit, and they were unable to organise a decent attack, and they were helpless, falling 1-0 down at home and retreating into the dressing room.
"Well done, good boys, you did a good job in the first half, very good!
There's nothing to be afraid of Arsenal, we beat them here last time and this time we're 1-0 up and we can do the same!
Hold on to the scoreline and we'll be able to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup in history, you have made history once again, and you will leave your name in the 100-year history of Hull City! ”
The sound of agitation kept coming out of the away dressing room.
Brown remembers that he used this tone and such grammar to inspire his players to win that glorious play-off and lead the century-old club to historic promotion to the Premier League.
He believes that this time, he will definitely be able to do the same.
He could see that Arsenal's performance in the last ten minutes was completely a lack of physical decline, and it was only half-time.
In the second half, after 65 minutes, the physical disadvantage will become more and more obvious, and as long as you survive those 20 minutes, the balance of victory will be tilted in your favor.
As long as you step into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, a generation of famous coaches, local talents, and various names will come one after another, and your own will usher in the second spring of your career, and the future will be bright.
Thinking about it, Brown is still a little excited.
As for the layout of the second half, wildness has always been one of the necessary skills for the survival of weak teams!
"Speed up the midfield and bring the rhythm of the whole game."
…
"Robin, you drop back a little bit in the second half, and in the first half you have too little rib coordination, so they defend you too many times."
…
"Beat their gaps, bring them up completely, and disrupt their defensive line arrangement."
…
Compared with Brown's enthusiastic encouragement in the away dressing room, Wenger is much more practical, directly taking out the tactical board, arranging his players, and the task requirements, "Win this game!" ”
The fifteen-minute break passed, and the players from both sides were soon on the pitch.
The restarted game, under the arrangement of the two head coaches, quickly turned into a broken bus formation.
Arsenal stormed Hull and threatened to break through the wall that Hull had enclosed. Hull City, on the other hand, is stubbornly defending, insisting on defending its fruits and not letting Arsenal take a stitch and a thread.
The battle swept quickly into Hull City's half, but although Arsenal attacked fiercely, they did not play blindly.
It can be clearly seen that the Arsenal players are more active, and they are more and more skilled in running and responding.
Although Van Persie can't do it yet, but there is a Bendtner who is more like a center forward, Arshavin at least doesn't feel awkward, and the ball is more and more crisp.
On the left side, relying on Arshavin's excellent ability to take the ball, he frequently cut inside and created all kinds of dangers.
In the 47th minute, Arshavin changed direction continuously, and the Hull City man who killed him turned on his back, and his shot from 12 yards was unfortunately blocked by Ricketts.
In the 51st minute, Arshavin passed a low ball from the left side of the penalty area, Van Persie missed in front of the store, and Bendtner followed up with a scramble. was subconsciously tapped by Myhill with his hand again, and rolled out against the column.
The attack on the left is in full swing, while on the right, Walket and Sagna are equally unambiguous.
Walcott's speed, and Sania's stoutness, put a lot of pressure on Sayat and others.
First, in the 52nd minute, Walcourt used his own pass to Sayat and sent a cross, but unfortunately Arshavin at the back post did not follow.
Then, in the 56th minute, Walket and Sagna linked, and Walcott drilled into the box to get the ball, an inverted triangle. At the same time, Van Persie fell to the ground and Bol ignored it. Walcott's threat ball still didn't make a real difference.
Although Arshavin on the left flank frequently cut inside, Arsenal still played with the effect of flying on both wings, just like Pire and Ljungberg at their peak.
In fact, in that Arsenal team, Pire also rarely walked the bottom line, more inward, organized and transmitted attack, and Wenger defined him as a new position, the role of organizing a winger.
On the right side, Ljungberg broke through the madman, with unusual sharpness, just like Walcoat now, interspersed and fast, enough for him to throw off anyone and go straight to the goal.
Arsene Wenger was actually leaning towards Arsenal at that time. After Pire + Ljungberg, there is Rosicky + Hleb, which can be called the age of the wind, which is gorgeous and concise, attracting countless people.
Later, Nasri/Rosicky/Cazorla + Walcott, etc., the players are different, but they are all almost similar configurations.
Arsene Wenger has to control the tempo while maintaining a sharp pace, and his formation is always sloping and varied.
On the pitch now, Arshavin and Theo Walcott are doing the same. However, they made a big noise, but the final effect was never satisfactory.
Seeing that it was going into 60 minutes, Arsenal still had nothing.
The team members of Hull City are not only walls, but also bricks, and he will move them wherever he is needed, and if he can't move them, he will kill you at once, and see how you get there.
Sixty minutes after entering the Hull fullbacks and full-backs, the sacrifice was gone, and only one last life remained.
It was with this resilience that Hull City dragged the game into the final half hour, while Arsenal had no momentum, but was always winless and time-consuming.
Arshavin cut in frequently down the left flank, leaving the gap on the baseline to Klich and giving him plenty of space to rush.
It's just that although Christ is the youngest Premier League champion, three years have passed and it has proved that he can't catch up with Ashley Cole.
This gap is not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. And Arshavin, although his personal skills are excellent, and even his breakthrough ability is stronger than Pire, but he still has to hone and adapt to the organization of this position.
Although there were many threats, they were never able to get through this way, and in the end, the pressure of Hull City became stronger and stronger, and with his physical strength declining, the attack here began to weaken.
The situation on the right side is also not optimistic, and their striker Manuccio has run here as a left-back, where is there time for Walcot to get up to speed.
Walcott is really not known for his extraordinary ability, and he has lost his ability to sprint, Walcott is like a diligent bee, constantly drilling, very busy, but the season is not right, and the effect is not obvious.
"Arsenal should be replaced, Hao should be on the field, the rib area has been stuck in Hull City, relying on Hao's impact in the middle, it can better open up the situation."
Looking at Arsenal's inaction, Lineker has already taken the initiative to shout Xiang Hao to play.
"Even if it's not Hao, even if it's Nasri, their organization in the middle is not ideal, the Frenchman plays, he and Arshavin's disposition, there are different changes, and the effect is not bad."
Mortensen also gave his own advice, and at the same time gave a little YY, "Of course, if it is Fabregas, it is better, if it is Fabregas and Hao, it is absolutely perfect." ”
In short, the opinions of the two people are highly consistent, that is, to replace, hurry up and replace. Don't look at Arsenal's offensive is still the same, but it is like a pool of stagnant water, which needs outside power to enter.
As if hearing Lineker and Mortenson, Wenger made adjustments at the 65-minute mark.
Removed No. 2 Diaby and replaced it with No. 6 Xiang Hao.
"W-oh!"
"Papa
There were shouts of surprise and endless applause, and when Xiang Hao appeared, the fans at the scene instantly felt a sense of orgasm.
Expectation, the expectation that has been suppressed for more than an hour, can finally be released at this moment, "Hao!!!! ”
"Great! Hao is finally on the field! ”
"Hao! We're going to score, we're going to score! ”
"Advance! Promotion! Promotion! ”
…
Calling and screaming, in the expectation of everyone, Xiang Hao rushed onto the field quickly.
As soon as he got on the field, he signaled to Song, saying that Wenger arranged that he would fully participate in the attack and let him help him sweep the tail.
The sideline ball serves, and the game continues.
Xiang Hao also quickly brought his vitality to the game. After getting the ball in the middle, Xiang Hao suddenly started, directly and brutally impacted Hull City's backline, passed Giovanni, and broke into the penalty area.
