Chapter 272: Not necessarily a battle
"Hey man, where did you get hurt? Let me see. ”
Seeing Xiang Hao get out of the car, Arshavin hurried over and asked about Xiang Hao's situation with a 'concern' face.
"Come on, do you look at his complexion, it looks like he is injured, and if he wants to be injured, it is also psychologically injured, you look at his appearance with Ivanka, a typical desire and dissatisfaction."
The head who can analyze it like this is Tao, naturally it is Bella, who focuses on lewdness/triviality, and saw Xiang Hao kissing goodbye to his former dream goddess, this kid has been pantothenic.
"Yes, how do I feel Hao, overtired, you look at this, I have small bags under my eyes."
Walcott looked Xiang Hao up and down, and retorted Bella's words with frowns.
"Hao, did you secretly go to a nightclub without us?"
"Possibly, Notting Hill is the closest to him, and it's free."
Hearing that Xiang Hao was overtired and had eye bags, several others immediately joined the discussion.
"Hey, can you guys get down to business?"
The paralyzed, one or two, when it comes to this, they are all concentrating, engaging in wool, can they still play together, and they are not doing their jobs.
Xiang Hao gave these people a fierce look.
"Hey, Hao, I heard that Mrs. Qiaoqiao's nightclub recently came to a new band, which attracted a lot of clubbing beauties there."
Recently, the team has achieved good results, and it has been a long time since they have gathered together to be lively, and as soon as these people said this, Bella immediately had a suggestion.
"Come less, I won't go."
"Hmm~~~"
Xiang Hao shook his head firmly, but seeing the complaining eyes of the team members, Xiang Hao had to change his words again, "Okay, at least I won't go now." ”
was originally a pure good person, and strayed into the birdman area. Xiang Hao could only comfort himself like this.
In the frolic, the Arsenal players also came to the dressing room, and the last game of 18 consecutive 6 consecutive games, after a lot of hard fighting, finally arrived.
After this battle, you can rest for almost two more days, two days, which is almost lifesaving.
These Arsenal players naturally have a relaxed mentality, human nature, the last step of the journey, and the mood is always a little different.
And in the previous few games, Arsenal passed smoothly, and all lines were red, and this ease came very naturally.
The whole team, including the Arsenal fans, has a sense of optimism.
This can be seen in the performance of the fans when the Arsenal players are warming up, and there is no momentum of fighting aggressively against Manchester United and Roma, on the contrary, more enjoyment.
Arsenal fans will see this game as a festive treat, and they feel that with their team in such a strong position, there should be no problem in winning Hull City, who are now second to last and relegation is imminent.
"Niklas, you have to take advantage of your chances."
During the warm-up, Xiang Hao took the initiative to approach his second brother and instructed him.
Although the relationship in the team is relatively good, Xiang Hao is still more 'biased' towards Bendtner, who calls him his own horse.
In terms of the configuration of the team, Bendtner, who has absolute height, technical ability and speed, is definitely a dish in Wenger's bowl.
If it weren't for his too sinful temperament and too big mouth, he wouldn't have been so miserable in the end.
The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.
This phrase applies to the entire uncrowned Arsenal talent, and even to Arsene Wenger.
But most of these people will change in a down-to-earth way, and whether they leave the team or not, they will always find their presence on the pitch.
Even Vela proved himself in La Liga in the end, ranking first among many strikers in La Liga.
Only Bendtner, who has always been confident, has become a laughing joke in football.
Xiang Hao naturally didn't want him to repeat the mistakes of the past again, he performed very well in the last league, but in the blink of an eye, he played Rome and played a mess.
After the game, there was a lot of harmony, but Wenger still let Bendtner practice, obviously a little disappointed in him.
So hopefully this time he can seize the opportunity and prove himself. If it weren't for Eduardo's injury, it is estimated that Bendtner would not have so many playing opportunities.
"Phew, I will, I'm going to let Hull City know I'm good in this game. Boss, I feel like I'm going to kill. ”
Bendtner nodded solemnly, expressing his promise to his boss, like stealing potatoes from someone else's house, and expressed his hunch.
Hey, I don't know why looking at the corners of Bendtner's confident mouth, Xiang Hao especially wanted to give him a middle finger. This guy is tall, and his eyes are really high, so I hope so.
Xiang Hao could only gently pat him on the shoulder, indicating acquiescence.
"The game is about to start, as Wenger said before the game, Hao is not in the Arsenal starting line-up, John, you can introduce it to everyone."
Sky Sports broadcast the game, with Lineker and Mortensen in the air. Seeing that Xiang Hao was still wearing a coat, Lineker made a judgment, and at the same time got Arsenal's starting list in his hand, which was handed over to Mortensen as usual.
"Well, No. 21 Fabianski rotated; At the back, No. 3 Sagna, No. 10 Gallas, No. 20 Djorou and No. 20 Gibbs.
Midfielders No. 14 Walcott, No. 2 Diaby, No. 17 Alexander Song, No. 23 and Arshavin, who has been on a hot streak lately. Up front, No. 26 Bentner and No. 11 Robin van Persie are on the front line.
With a formation of 442, Xiang Hao and Nasri, who fought in the last consecutive game, have entered the rotation, but Arsenal's squad is still strong, and it will not be easy for Hull City to leave safely at the Emirates Stadium. ”
"Not necessarily."
Lineker shook his head slightly, interrupting Mortenson with some "rudeness".
"You know, in the first leg of the league, Hull City won against Arsenal, which was the first time in the history of the league that Arsenal Emirati Stadium lost. Hull City: They have a psychological advantage here. ”
Lineker unceremoniously revealed Arsenal's injury.
Indeed, in the first leg of the contest, Arsenal lost to Hull City, which has not lost for more than 90 years, and it was a shocking upset.
There is no doubt that that game is destined to be one of the biggest upsets of the season.
"But now Arsenal is in a much better situation than in that game, overall, Arsenal have entered the state of sprinting, in such a situation, it is difficult to make Arsenal careless."
Mortenson also knew about this meme, and immediately retorted, almost saying that it was Hull City's luck that time.
"Not necessarily." Once again, Lineker questioned Mortensen's words.
"You know, before this, Manchester United lost 1-4 to Liverpool at their home stadium, and Manchester United is also in the sprint stage of the season, so it is not the same as losing.
Although Hull City's quality cannot be compared to Liverpool, Hull City can always expect a goal or two.
The FA Cup has always been a favourite for upsets, and Arsenal have been beaten by today's opponents this season. ”
Lineker cites the most recent example and immediately silences Mortenson's words.
Looking at Mortensen's speechless appearance, Lineker was still a little proud, and made a summary, "So in this game, Arsenal's advantage is definitely not like what the outside world says, the advantage is obvious, and there is still a lot of hope for Hull City's upset." ”
"I'm sure Arsene Wenger won't allow that to happen, and when that happens, he'll definitely bring Hao on the pitch and turn the game around."
Mortenson was speechless, so he could only let Xiang Hao out. Now, it was Lineker's turn to have nothing to say.
No way, Mortenson is an ace. Xiang Hao, even the two newspapers that can hack Xiang Hao the most, can only use Xiang Hao's injury and illness, and hype up the news about such a fictitious thing, and they dare not question Xiang Hao.
Lineker, as one of the witnesses of Xiang Hao's rise, he would not doubt it, but could only secretly 'hate' Mortenson's cunning.
"Okay, okay. Then let's watch the game. Let's take a look at what kind of formation Coach Phil Brown will come up with. ”
In desperation, Lineker could only divert the topic and introduce Hull City's starters.
"No. 1 Myhill; Gardner No. 30, Dawson No. 3, Ricketts No. 21, Sayat No. 24; No. 4 Bambi, No. 14 Ashby, No. 7 Fagan, No. 16 Halmosi; No. 10 Giovanni; No. 28 Manuccio.
4411 formation, but in the game, I think Coach Brown will make his players a little bit further back and change the formation to 451. ”
Lineker saw this formation and made an inference.
In fact, this is indeed Brown's idea, playing Arsenal away, even if he has won here before, Brown does not dare to make a big difference.
Especially now that Arsenal's momentum is on the rise, even if they are tired, it is not something that Hull City can beat if they say they can win.
Brown is trying to take advantage of Arsenal's busy schedule, bring the game into a state of anxiety, and then wait for the opportunity to find Arsenal's loopholes, and hit the ball with one shot, you know, Arsenal are notoriously not good at physical confrontation.
Attacking the enemy's shortcomings with one's own strengths is a perfect combat policy.
Arsene Wenger hardly has to think about it, and he knows what way the opponent will deal with him, Arsenal has a distinct style, so almost all opponents are that kind of routine, confrontation, constant physical confrontation.
The difference is whether they can disrupt Arsenal's overall rhythm and whether they can block Arsenal's attacking flow like a torrential rain for a while.
Once you can't do this, no matter how you fight, Arsenal's rhythm is at your feet, and the momentum is up, it is all ineffective.
At the end of the day, Arsenal's own football is offensive, proactive, and has a strong foundation and the game is very good. And if the foundation is thin, it looks like it is more columsy than any team, and it is always unwilling to lose and inexplicable.
This is also one of the reasons why Wenger has never been able to come out of the third period, and when it is implemented, it is that the point of the back is too thin and unreal.
When it is smooth, it is pleasing to the eye, but if it is really the kind of game where the bayonet sees red, this point will be infinitely magnified.
It's not necessarily that the team members don't fight, but their own lifeblood is pinched.
In this game, Xiang Hao was rested, although Diaby was in charge, Wenger was still not at ease, "You must seize the opportunity first, understand whether there is any." ”
From training to the dressing room, Arsene Wenger has been emphasising that it is not nonsense, but Arsenal's way of survival and the key to winning this game.
