'It was a bit of a frustrating first half, Arsenal's attack got back into a kind of stiffness and I think they needed a consistent flashpoint up front.

Seeing the players leave the field, Lineker made a comment, and it was clear that Arsenal's performance had disappointed him, who was expecting to attack.

"It may be redundant, but Arsenal do have one less Togolese than before, and Bendtner can't replace Adebayor in the Arsenal system.

With one less high-end support, Arsenal's ground attack can easily be blocked by opponents, which is a problem.

On the wing, neither Vela nor Walcoat have Rosicky's passing ability or Hleb's breakthrough ability, and they are better at running and getting the ball.

It's a pity that Arsenal's attack didn't play a few times like this today, and Cardiff City obviously know Arsenal's attacking package very well, and they are very dead in the ribs. ”

Mortensen has been following Arsenal for so long, so he naturally has his own experience and points out the crux of Arsenal.

"Run, run, mobilize the opponent's defense line on a large scale, do you understand?"

Back in the dressing room, Arsene Wenger didn't have time to lose his temper, he knew where his team's problems were, and passed on his second-half tactical demands to his disciples.

The 0-0 situation in the first half, in addition to the lack of strength from their own forwards, was that their attacks were not threatening enough, or in other words, they failed to create good chances.

Cardiff City's defense did a good job, at least in the two ribs and the arc of the penalty area, they stared to death, not only failed to give Xiang Hao a chance to shoot there, but also did not let Arsenal pass a few good balls.

All Wenger could think of was to take advantage of their second-half physical disadvantage and open up the situation through constant movement on both sides.

Wenger's last gaze stayed on Xiang Hao's body, obviously, he put his hope on Xiang Hao's body, after all, Xiang Hao is the dispatcher on the Arsenal field, and his quality is directly related to the trend of Arsenal in this game.

"Listen, you have to guard both sides, not only to strangle their in-cut but also not to let them find an opportunity on the outside.

Give me more pressing, don't let them pass the midfield easily, especially the number six - their core, let him feel your strength, confrontation, do you understand! ”

"Got it!!"

In the dressing room of Cardiff City, the roar of the air was resounding.

The first half was 0-0, which made the Championship players full of spirit, and they were still on their home turf, and last season, they also scored Wembley, so they were naturally full of confidence.

"Fly, bluejay!!"

"This is our home field, let's flap our wings!!"

"Drive them out, drive them out!!"

After a short fifteen-minute break, the stadium of Ninian Park was filled with shouts and cheers.

With their side able to hold a strong Arsenal level in the first half and still not fall behind on the pitch, Cardiff City fans had no reason not to get excited and take advantage of not cheering for their team.

They are still waiting for their team to continue their efforts and pull off a miracle to knock out Arsenal.

In fact, Cardiff City's players are planning to do so at the same time. As the Dodd whistle blew and the second half began, Cardiff City immediately pressed up and began their own duel of strength.

As soon as Xiang Hao got the ball, Bosloyd, who was also Xiang Hao's old-timer in the Arsenal academy in the past, immediately became entangled.

A tall man of 1.91 meters, the speed is not slow, Xiang Hao has no intention of entanglement with the other party, not to mention the other party's No. 29 Chris? Markey also grabbed it, and splitting sides is king.

Taken out of the two people, Xiang Hao did not stick the ball, and sent the ball directly to Gibbs.

Arsenal attacked from the flanks, but it was clear that Cardiff City manager Jones' words worked.

Gibbs finally brought the ball to the frontcourt, but found that there was no room to pass the ball at all, whether it was Bella or Ramsey, there were people staring, and he had no choice but to return the ball to Xiang Hao, who received it.

Xiang Hao did not delay, after getting the ball, he observed the situation, and quickly sent the ball to the feet of Nasri, and then he sent it to the side. Arsenal's attack was reorganized.

However, the likes of Arsenal have come again and again.

"Bluebird, Flying !!"

"Don't give them places, don't give them places!!"

"Rob him, rob his !!"

At Ninian Park, the incessant shouts rang out with Arsenal's wave after wave of attacks.

Not to cheer for the Arsenal players, but to put pressure on the Arsenal players and cheer up their players.

The Cardiff City players were eager to have a few more feet to intercept the attack of the Arsenal players in the rumbling cheers of their own fans. In fact, they did.

Wave after wave of attacks were fruitless, Wenger couldn't sit still off the field, pacing back and forth on the sidelines, or crossing his waist, or pursing his lips, looking extremely anxious.

It is not only Wenger who is anxious, but Xiang Hao is also the same on the field. The old man said that he wanted to start the situation on the field by himself, but his back and forth distribution still failed to dismember Cardiff City's defense. Can Xiang Hao be impatient.

What made Xiang Hao and the Arsenal players even more impatient was Dodd's penalty.

In order to interrupt the rhythm of Arsenal's game, Cardiff City used their bodies to stop Arsenal again and again, pulling people, pushing, and all kinds of small actions continued, interfering with the Arsenal players, but Dodd did not say anything except verbal warnings. It also made Arsenal very uncomfortable.

Finally, in the sixty-seventh minute of the game...

Gibbs took the ball on the side and wanted to dunk inside, but was swept to the ground by Cardiff City's right-back McNaton and was directly replaced by Klich, but Dodd still didn't say anything, not only did he not have a red or yellow card, but he didn't even foul.

Wenger was quite dissatisfied, went directly to the fourth official, and protested loudly, but unfortunately it had no effect, and the game should be played how to play.

The situation was not opened for a long time, and the rhythm of the game was frequently interrupted by the opponent, and the Arsenal players were also anxious, and finally in the seventy-third minute of the game, it broke out.

Mark of Cardiff City. After Kennedy cut off Sagna's ball, he pushed forward at high speed and wanted to play a counter-attack.

Xiang Hao saw that the situation was wrong, and rushed forward. Once the opponent's counterattack is played, it is easy to directly face his own backline, and with Arsenal's scum defense line, it is likely to be lost, so Xiang Hao did not dare to be careless, and almost full speed impact.

A stumbling broom, Xiang Hao will mark? Kennedy intercepted the ball, extinguished the opponent's counterattack, and even rushed Kennedy directly out of the billboard because of the impact, and the Cardiff City fans immediately stopped.

"Shhh!!h

"Fouls, fouls, !!"

"Discard, discard, !!"

Cardiff City interfere with the trend on the pitch with the biggest decibels, and in their opinion, this is their home stadium, how can they allow the away players to treat their players so 'brutally'.

And Mark was directly put out of the field by a player thinner than himself, but he didn't do it, he rushed directly into the field and yelled at Xiang Hao, "Damn Oriental, you did it on purpose!" You're coming at someone, despicable Oriental! ”

"Shut up, you're useless yourself, blame others! I don't know who is dirty! ”

Xiang Hao was on fire early in the morning, and when he saw Mark's saliva spraying on his face, Xiang Hao was not to be outdone, and took a step forward directly, glaring at him arguedly, and directly forced him out of the sideline.

"Do you want to fight, Oriental!"

Mark saw that his body couldn't resist the other party, and he was forced to retreat, so he immediately quit, like a calf, directly in front of Xiang Hao.

Although Mark is only 1.8 meters, his figure looks much stronger than Xiang Hao, and his power is strong enough.

"Fight, who do you think you are?"

Xiang Hao was not afraid at all, and immediately snatched him. The two people do not give in to each other and fight directly on the sideline.

"Hey, boy, don't be too arrogant!"

"Don't think we're bullies!"

"Stay away from him!"

"What do you want to do, do you want to fight, we will accompany you!"

…

The Arsenal players and the Cardiff City players saw their team-mates facing each other and immediately intervened, and the situation instantly exploded.

"Shhh

The boos were all over the place, and as this confrontation scene appeared, the Cardiff City fans erupted in deafening boos, making the scene even more chaotic.

As soon as Dodd saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately rushed over, this time he was not polite at all, directly one by one, gave Xiang Hao and Mark a yellow card, and asked the captains of both sides to come over, and gave a verbal reminder before the matter was settled.

"Huh, Hao seems to be a little impatient, he should go away immediately."

Lineker saw that Xiang Hao received a yellow card, and said a few words with some 'dissatisfaction'.

"Dodd didn't control the situation on the field properly, in fact, Cardiff City should have given cards to the ball several times before, don't blame Hao, Mark came to tease first."

As Haomi, Mortenson naturally had to explain two sentences for Xiang Hao.

However, after Mortensen explained, his brows kept frowning, "Now the Arsenal players are in a very impatient mood, and Wenger has to make another adjustment." ”

Before Mortensen's words fell, Wenger couldn't sit still. In the 75th minute, Arsene Wenger removed two strikers, Bendtner and Vela, and replaced them with Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott. Arsene Wenger is clearly making a last-ditch effort.

On the other hand, the head coach of Cardiff City is tepid, still sitting on the Diaoyutai, obviously very confident.

It is also true that the situation of the game is now in the hands of the home team, and the Arsenal players have been unable to attack for a long time, and the mood has shown signs of impatience.

Before the players have no physical problems, there is no need for him to change the lineup, affect the normal performance of the players, guard the game, and steal it at the right time, which is the king.
