Chapter 221: Power Recovery
Looking forward to Arsenal, not only Mortensen and others, Arsenal fans are the people who are most looking forward to Arsenal.
However, in their expectations, they are more looking forward to Arshavin, especially after watching the video of Arshavin in training.
However, in this game, they were destined to be disappointed for a while, Arsenal's starting line-up was played, and Arshavin, who wore the number 25 shirt left by the Togolese, did not start.
Arsenal is in a 442 formation this time, goalkeeper: Almunia; In the back line, Sagna, Campbell, Toure and Klich; midfielders, Denilson, Song, Xiang Hao and Nasri; Forwards, Robin van Persie and Bendtner.
Originally, the old man was going to send Diabi, but the sad second master didn't know what was wrong, and he couldn't even enter the list.
On Tottenham's side, it also used 442, No. 23 Cudicini; No. 22 Joel Luca, No. 20 Dawson, No. 39 Woodgate, No. 32 Héctor; No. 7 Lennon, No. 8 Janas, No. 14 Modric, No. 12 Palahios; No. 15 Robbie. Keane, No. 10 Darren. Bent.
The two forwards, Robbie Keane and Darren Bent, can be regarded as speedy forwards, and it is obvious that Lao Lei knows what the shortcomings of his former disciples are.
In terms of speed and turning speed, the slightly older Campbell is not fast, and Lao Lei uses a fast horse to hit him at this point.
With Foy's whistle, the 2008-2009 Premier League season was a key battle in the 25th round, kicking off at White Hart Lane.
At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur attacked quite aggressively. Although there is no Pavlyuchenko on the field, Tottenham's attack has indeed become sharper.
At the beginning, two consecutive attacks forced the Arsenal defense to respond, won the opportunity for a corner, and pressed Arsenal to smash it.
However, Arsenal soon launched a counter-attack, as Mortensen and Lineker said, a week of adjustment, the two teams, the biggest benefit, not Tottenham, but the Arsenal team, their 'power system' seems to be restored.
In the sixth minute of the game, Van Persie arced the ball in the penalty area and cut into the far corner of Nasri, but unfortunately the ball slid past the goal.
In the eighth minute, Arsenal continued to take the ball outside the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area, and Xiang Hao suddenly took an overhead ball and picked it up to his second brother, and the anti-offside position was successful.
Unfortunately, Bendtner's shot failed to open the angle and was held in Cudicini's arms.
In the eleventh minute, Arsenal made a comeback, Xiang Hao stole Modric's hand, and gave the ball to Denilson for the first time, but the latter was too anxious, and after shaking Janas, he directly hit the goal and released a cupola.
And here, Tottenham's offensive is not far behind,
In the seventh minute, Héctor passed the ball and Roy Keane volleyed a left-footed shot from 14 yards, just a little higher.
In the ninth minute, Palacios passed the ball, and Jenas followed, and a powerful long-range shot went wide.
In the thirteenth minute, Modric's free-kick from the left was met by Woodgate's header from 10 yards, which was also deflected.
The two sides attacked each other for fifteen minutes, almost no one let anyone, and they all wanted to crush each other to death with their attacks, and the game entered the climax stage from the beginning.
Unconsciously, time passed quickly, and in the twenty-second minute of the game, it finally reached a climax.
Nasri, the French swan on the left side, two consecutive feints, from the ribs directly into the Tottenham penalty area, after dodging an angle, directly kicked, "Smack!" ”
With a snap, the momentum sank and went straight to the dead corner.
Cudicini fell to the ground in stress and blocked the ball with his own hands, but because the ball was so fast and sudden, he couldn't pick it off at all, and the ball bounced off the box.
In the confusion, a long leg stretched out and gave it a gentle pass.
"GOOOOOOOOO, DAMN IT, WHAT KIND OF GESTURE IS THIS? What kind of gesture is this?! ”
Luke's excited moaning stopped abruptly, but was replaced by confusion and exasperation.
"I scored, I scored, boss, I, ****!"
The second younger brother Bendtner was still reporting the good news to his boss, and when he saw that Foy's gesture was wrong, he immediately scolded him.
Foy crossed his hands over his chest and spread them out to signal that the ball didn't count, while pointing to the small penalty area and motioning for Cudicini to open the scoring.
In this goal, Foy ruled that Bendtner had fouled Woodgate before the shot was taken, and the goal did not count.
Xiang Hao tried to negotiate with the referee and change his decision, but it was useless, and Kudinic still had the ball.
"Damn, how could this be!"
“****! Our goal was wiped out! ”
…
The annoyed voices of Arsenal fans, who were all ready to celebrate, were interrupted here and swallowed back alive, and it was easy to have 'internal injuries'.
"Whew, lucky, really lucky!"
"Hehe, it's not that easy to break through our gate!"
…
And on Tottenham's side, Lian Hu was lucky. This ball, they do feel like stealing one. Bendtner's actions were insignificant compared to the goal.
"How can this ball be considered a foul on Niklas, and whether he is wrong or not."
Wenger was quite dissatisfied, he was ready to cheer and celebrate, and gave a basin of cold water on the head, which was strange if he was comfortable, and immediately shouted at the fourth official to protest.
In this regard, the fourth official could only shake his head helplessly and said: "Mr. Wenger, this is what the referee meant, I think he has a basis, please return to your position." ”
looks like a businessman, and the angry Wenger has itchy teeth, but there is no way, he can only use this method to express his dissatisfaction, as for more, it is no longer possible.
"This ball, I have to say, both sides have action in their hands, Bendtner is still a little inexperienced, if you take a small step ahead and get stuck in the position first, there is no reason for Foy to blow the penalty."
Mortenson's regretful voice rang out. At the end of the day, it was Bendtner who gave Foy a chance, and he got closer to the ball but pushed Woodgate behind him with his hand, which was too much.
So under the camera, Bendtner, who wanted to understand that he had made a mistake, could only lick his lips stupidly, a little lost.
The previous time, Xiang Hao's pick, he didn't handle it well, this time, the close follow-up shot was also messed up by himself, it is impossible not to be annoyed.
Bendtner's confident eyes were replaced by an anxious look, a little uneasy.
Indeed, after entering the New Year, Bendtner's performance was not satisfactory, and the original growth seemed to have hit a bottleneck and stayed there.
If it weren't for the Togolese leaving Arsenal a year early, Bendtner wouldn't have had as many opportunities to play.
Bendtner knew that he couldn't expect his boss to give him a chance all the time, and he had to seize the opportunity, otherwise he would be in danger.
The Russian, apparently, was more liked by the boss, and the Dutchman seemed to prefer to partner with him. Bendtner felt a huge threat.
"Calm down in the face of opportunities, Niklas, you can do it."
Xiang Hao patted his little brother's buttocks and encouraged him a few words.
Xiang Hao could naturally see his little brother's anxiety, but he was not a striker, nor Wenger, so there was no way to give him more technical guidance, so he could only give him encouragement in words.
That's enough!
Bendtner, who was confused, felt a pair of trust, which made him a little happy, and nodded solemnly, "Well, I understand the boss, believe me." ”
"Hehe, whether it's your technique or body, impact them and show the best of you!"
Xiang Hao saw his solemn appearance, smiled knowingly, and continued to add strength to him.
"Don't worry, look at me." Self-confidence Ben is starting to be in his own self-confidence mode again.
However, Xiang Hao is not worried, just as Wenger always gives Bendtner a chance, Xiang Hao also believes in the talent of his second brother, and it is also because there are too many off-field factors that this talent has been ruined.
Xiang Hao believes that with himself pressuring him and making him restrained in the team, he can go the right way and have another brighter career.
And Xiang Hao also believes that the current Bendtner can definitely do it, because this 'power recovery' Arsenal is stronger.
Arsenal have really gotten stronger, simply because they have rested enough, most notably Robin van Persie and Nasri.
In attack, Arsenal soon showed their superior attacking dynamism.
In the 28th minute, Nasri took the ball on the side, dunked past Joel Luka, and suddenly hit an inverted triangle, Xiang Hao shot vigorously from 16 yards, and with a "dang" sound, hit the crossbar and flew out.
In the 31st minute, after Denilson cut inside, he suddenly distributed the ball to the side, and Sagna, who was following him, did not stop the ball at all, and sent a low flat ball, Van Persie grabbed the point, but the distance was too close, and it was saved by Cudicini.
In the 33rd minute, Bendtner hit the goal; In the 35th minute, Christ entered the penalty area; In the 38th minute, Denilson was fouled on the line of the penalty area...
Arsenal's attack came in waves, like a tidal wave, and the fans were anxious and restless.
At this moment, Lao Lei can no longer sit quietly in the coach's seat, he feels that a threat has come, not that Tottenham Hotspur is just being pressed and beaten, but Arsenal, who are full of energy, showing more terrifying attacking ability.
This ability, in such an open offensive situation, is too threatening, a suffocating feeling of black clouds crushing the city, shrouded in the hearts of all Tottenham people, finally...
In the forty-third minute of the game, Jenas made a mistake in the middle, held the ball for too long, was robbed by Song, and handed the ball to Xiang Hao for the first time.
Xiang Hao didn't stop the ball at all, and directly made a long pass to find the little brother who was running like a crazy horse - Bendtner.
This time Bendtner didn't miss the slightest mistake, drove straight into the box, and then shook like a civet to dodge Woodgate's defence, facing Cudicini, and a standard push penetrated the Tottenham goalkeeper's armpit.
