Chapter 41: Equalization
"Good ball, Hao, Emmanuelle, oh, what the hell is wrong with him?" Lu Kesheng regretted that he regretted Xiang Hao's beautiful ball.
In the seventy-second minute of the game, Arsenal, who pressed Fulham's onslaught, created another chance.
Nasri, after dribbling past two defenders, sent the ball to Xiang Hao at the top of the penalty area.
Xiang Hao did not stop the ball, because behind the No. 21 Brad who was defending him, there was a huge gap.
Just now, Toure and Xiang Hao both hit extremely high-quality shots in the arc, and the Fulham players did not dare to put this position, and the defense unconsciously raised.
Coupled with Nasri's dribbling and tearing, Fulham's defensive attention was instantly focused on the perimeter, and there was a hole in that area.
Xiang Hao instantly caught that vacancy, flicked the outside of his right foot, and before Brad pounced, the ball passed through his stepover like lightning and sent it into the penalty area.
It's a pity that Adebayo still couldn't get in touch with Xiang Hao this time.
He saw the vacancy, but at that moment, he hesitated, because he didn't know if Xiang Hao would pass the ball to him.
By the time he took a step, Xiang Haoqiu had already passed in, and he was slow to start the response again.
Sometimes it's just a split second on the football pitch that can change everything.
If Adebayo didn't hesitate, he would have taken the ball directly one + one + book ~ read + novel + ybdu wipe, and this ball was a close-range single knife.
But because of a momentary pause, Adebayo touched the ball, but he reluctantly stretched out his foot to hook the ball and failed to hold it.
And Aaron, who fell into his position before? Hughes overtook him in an instant, squeezed Adebayo out, stuck the position, and kicked the ball out of the penalty area with a flying kick.
Another Arsenal attack was fruitless.
"This ball, Adebayo can't blame anyone, Hao has already designed a route for him, it's his own reaction that is a little slower, he didn't take the ball well, Hughes, this hit can't be considered a foul at all.
Adebayo's form today is really bad, I feel that I am not at the same point as the whole team, this one is too bad, and the cooperation between him and Hao is far less natural than that of Van Persie. ”
Seeing Adebayo slapping the turf hard, getting up and complaining to the referee, Lineker couldn't help but shake his head, and was very optimistic about Adebayo's performance today.
'It's time to bring on Bam Adebayo and Arsene Wenger has a tough job ahead because the new season has already begun, but Bam Adebayo doesn't look ready yet.
Mortenson noticed Bam Adebayo early on, and as his midfielder said, Adebayo didn't let his mind be quiet.
And through these two games, Mortensen vaguely saw something, "Perhaps the most profound impact of the changes in Arsenal's midfield is precisely Adebayo, without Rosicky and Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal's entire attacking point has moved back."
Hao is not only Arsenal's defensive guarantee, but also the starting point of Arsenal's attack, the opponent's defensive line is not so strong, and the strikers need to prepare more, Adebayo has never been able to adapt to this change. ”
"Perhaps, but I think a good striker should be able to adapt to the changes in the team very quickly. It was evident that Van Persie was doing well, his movement was floating and he was able to help the ball open up space laterally. ”
Seeing that the clock was about to enter the final fifteen minutes, Arsenal was slow to catch up with the score. Lineker can't help but worry a little about Wenger, don't be an upset today, "But what Arsenal needs now is a player who can strike at Fulham vertically, and Wenger should be replaced." ”
He, like Mortensen, felt it was time for Arsenal to make a substitution.
Wenger also seemed to have heard Lineker's advice, and before Adebayor could shake his head the moment Adebayor was knocked to the ground, he motioned for Rice to go to the fourth official, Arsenal, to make a substitution.
"Niklas, after you get on the field, you have to look at the positions of Robin, Nasri and others, don't overlap with them, try to find the gaps in Fulham's defense, believe Hao, and step forward in time."
Seeing the chance of a dead ball, Wenger quickly put Bendtner on the pitch and whispered a few more words in his ear.
Although his disciple is very talented, he can't stand his brain from constantly making mistakes. The defeat was not expected by Arsene Wenger, who brought Bendtner on to pick up points.
"I understand, I believe in the boss as much as I believe in myself." Bendtner nodded proudly and walked to the sidelines.
Seeing Adebayo's face darker, Bendtner couldn't help but urge, "Man, you can't hurry up." ”
Adebayo was originally unconvinced by being replaced, and it was a slow and leisurely end, and when he heard Bendtner urging like this, the anger immediately came up, "I want you to take care of it, waste!" ”
Bendtner heard Adebayo scolding himself for being a waste, and his originally confident smile immediately turned into a disdainful sneer, "Hmph, I don't know who is waste, I can't always catch the boss's good ball." Look, I'll tell you what a really good striker is. ”
Dare to call me a waste, and don't look at your black appearance. Bendtner regained his confidence, and didn't wait for Adebayo to come over, he ran on the court: Watch Uncle Ben teach you how to cooperate with the boss and synchronize with the boss.
Not far away, Wenger could naturally hear his two disciples pinching each other, but he could only shake his head helplessly, and there was a faint bright light in his eyes.
Being scolded for being a waste, Bendtner naturally had to find his boss to support him. Approaching Xiang Hao's side, Bendtner whispered: "Boss, you have to organize a good ball for me." ”
"Well, be smart, see the holes in the opponent's defense, you are the front point, remember." Xiang Hao nodded solemnly and instructed him a few more words.
Now that the game has entered the last fifteen minutes, except for himself, the physical fitness of everyone else should be similar to that of the opponent, and they have reached a bottleneck, and they really need a new force to rush the opponent's defense. Xiang Hao had a plan in his heart.
"Carlos, Eboue, pay attention to the ball quickly, push it to the half as fast as you can, and crush them." Xiang Hao summoned Eboue and Bella, who had replaced Walket before, and gave two instructions.
"Well, I understand." "Roger."
Bella and the two of them didn't know what Xiang Hao was doing, but their boss made it very clear in training: make their own changes according to Hao's needs in the game.
They could only nod, and looking at Xiang Hao's appearance, they knew that he must have some plan.
After arranging his own thoughts, Xiang Hao himself also had a slight change, and faintly approached the middle circle.
As for Nasri, seeing Xiang Hao's position moving forward, in order to maintain the stability of the entire formation, he had to bring it back a little, so as to avoid the space between the midfield and the backfield from widening and being attacked by the opponent.
This is the ability of the players to read the game on the pitch and find their sense of position in the heat of the game.
The game resumed, and Schwarzer kicked the ball over the half.
Although Sagna is not tall, she has an amazing bounce and is willing to fight hard, pushing Zamora, who is a head taller than herself, to push the ball away and fly near the center circle.
Although Dempsey pulled and dragged behind Xiang Hao, he still remembered to jump and get the ball. However, Xiang Hao did not move, stuck in the position, and unloaded the ball with his chest.
Dempsey failed to grab Xiang Hao, so he wanted to resist the opponent with strength and not let the opponent share the ball so easily.
It's a pity that Xiang Hao doesn't plan to entangle with Dempsey at all, what he needs now is time.
After being held by Dempsey, Xiang Hao did not force a turn, and immediately made a second move the moment he unloaded the ball at his feet.
Like a long eye on the back of his head, Xiang Hao slammed his heel and knocked the ball from his feet to Dempsey's feet. The forward pass is also completed.
Nasri, who had recovered a little, quickly received the ball, but he didn't take it much, just after deducting Murphy, he immediately completed the ball and distributed it to the wing.
Fast, like a cheetah rushing through the midfield.
Xiang Hao once again showed his speed in front of the world.
After sending the ball away, Xiang Hao did not stay in place as before, but shook off Dempsey and rushed past the midfield.
After getting Nasri's pass, Eboue took a few steps quickly, and saw someone asking him in the middle, it was Xiang Hao.
At this time, Xiang Hao had already thrown off all the players who were following the defense, and he had a vacancy.
Eboue didn't dare not give it, and a timely diagonal pass sent the ball into the middle. Xiang Hao got the ball at the edge of the penalty area.
Fast!
This time, Xiang Hao's quick reaction was the second reaction.
After conceding Eboue's ball, Xiang Hao turned around, shook off his right foot, pulled the ball out of an arc, and the offensive line immediately shifted, not choosing to meet Van Persie in front, but to Bella's side.
It was quick and unexpected, including the Fulham defence.
Their minds were still thinking about how to stop Xiang Hao, but the speed of the ball had exceeded their thinking.
In an instant, Fulham's defence came to an eerie halt, unable to keep up with Arsenal's tempo.
Vela wiped it, didn't need to make any feints, and directly swiped into the Fulham penalty area.
"Oh, stop, no!"
"Don't let it, oh my God!"
…
Before the Fulham fans could 'command' their team's defence, they saw the scene that frightened them.
Vela didn't have any greed, and with a single step in it, he had already ripped off the last piece of the cloth of the Fulham defense, and sent a low flat ball out quickly.
The entire Fulham defense line was in chaos, not only was the wing opened, but the defenders in the middle even thought too much between Xiang Hao and Bella.
Because their attention was drawn to Van Persie, who was running strangely, and by the time they noticed Bella, Bella had already sent the ball in.
Bendtner!
Bendtner always remembered his boss's instructions and watched for holes in the Fulham line.
When Xiang Hao sent the ball to Bella, he had already noticed that Fulham's entire defense line was a beat slower, turned around, and ran!
Like a hammer, he slammed into Fulham's six-yard box.
"Bang!"
There was a crunch.
"Goooooooooooo-ol, Niklas, Niklas equalized for us, he equalized for us!!"
