Chapter 336: A Thousand Calls
"Hao! Summer time! Summer time! Summer time! Summer time! ”
As Xiang Hao warmed up on the big screen, the fans at the Emirates Stadium were excited, chanting their No. 6 name and calling for their players to play.
"Huh, Hao is finally going to play, I haven't seen him play for nearly twenty days, I'm really looking forward to it."
"When you see the scene at the Emirates Stadium, you should know how important this player is to Arsenal right now, and everyone is looking forward to it."
…
Seeing such restless shouts at the scene, the commentators couldn't help but sigh and sigh at Xiang Hao's popularity.
Not only is the fans expecting, in fact, the reporters pointed the camera at Xiang Hao as early as the moment he got up, and he frantically captured it for a while.
Wenger didn't make them wait any longer, either. In the 68th minute, the old man made the first substitution of the game, removing Walket and replacing him with No. 6 Xiang Hao.
"Papa ”
The audience applauded thunderously, and even broke out into hot cheers. Arsenal fans are welcoming the return of their hero and looking forward to his performance.
"Damn, you're so popular, lewd guy, behave better."
Walcoat was substituted, and he muttered two sentences in Xiang Hao's ear in an 'unhappy' manner.
gave him a roll of the eyes, and Xiang Hao rushed directly to the field. Xiang Hao is now full of joy, how can he have the heart to pay attention to him.
As soon as he got on the pitch, Xiang Bawang waved his hand and let Denilson play to the left wing, while Nasri withdrew to the right, leaving Cesc Fabregas and him in the middle.
Arsenal's squad was finalized for the last time and the game restarted.
"Bang!"
A violent forward insertion, Xiang Hao directly hit Middlesbrough midfielder Bates's sticker, quickly reached the front court, and started his first game after his comeback.
Southgate was worried, not a little worried.
Because he found that Xiang Hao's arrival quickly brought up the rhythm of the game, and it was no longer that slow game mode.
Middlesbrough is in danger!
Solst sighed in his heart, a sense of powerlessness came over him, a sense of danger that the defense line had been broken, but he didn't know how to remedy it.
This is the momentum, the momentum that Xiang Hao himself gives to the game, or rather, the momentum that gives Arsenal as a whole.
With the existence of Xiang Hao, Arsenal has a fundamental guarantee, which can ensure that Arsenal's game will not flow like rootless water, but it does not know when it will be terminated.
Hold on to the confidence!
This is brought by Xiang Hao, and with this kind of confidence, Arsenal's attack can be swayed to the fullest without worrying about his back.
And Arsenal's defensive line will also advance at least 20 meters, they don't have to worry, as soon as the ball comes, the opponent's attack will appear directly in front of them, making them unprepared.
This is the most important change that Xiang Hao brought to Arsenal, and it is also the foundation of Arsenal's team.
Of course, it all depends on the overall integration of Xiang Hao and Arsenal, and the qualified state is so.
Whether it is qualified or not, just look at the performance of the Middlesbrough players.
Left and right, a defensive posture of taking care of one and losing the other.
As soon as Xiang Hao came on the field, he took advantage of his physical strength and repeatedly stepped forward, like a heavy hammer, directly hitting the Middlesbrough defense.
"Toot!"
"Oh, no!"
A whistle blew and the Middlesbrough fans shouted in pain, unable to see everything on the pitch anymore.
Cesc Fabregas flicked the ball back when he faced the pack of Aria Diaire and Downing. It was allocated to Xiang Hao.
As if a soldier had heard a horn, Xiang Hao forcibly shook off Marlon Jin's interception, jumped out, and entered an area of forty-five meters.
Finally saw the living thing, and O'Neill blocked in front of Xiang Hao.
In the face of O'Neill's blocking, Xiang Hao's body suddenly froze, but the frequency under his feet was accelerating, pulling the ball continuously, making a gesture to take the side, and at the moment when the opponent's center moved, he suddenly burst out and wanted to forcibly overtake.
O'Neill's heart trembled, because there was no one behind him. Hell knows how this guy is so fast and so well coordinated.
It was too late for O'Neill to move his center of gravity, so he had no choice but to get started. At the moment when Xiang Hao flashed him, O'Neill directly started his hand, even his elbow.
Xiang Hao only felt that his throat was extinguished, and the whole person had no second reaction at all, and fell down directly.
"Shhh
"Damn it, what are you doing!"
"Bastard, be careful with me!"
"Scoundrel! Litter! ”
…
The boos in the sky, as well as endless cursing, couldn't stop sounding when I saw Xiang Hao fall to the ground.
With a chokehold action, O'Neill put Xiang Hao directly to the ground, and the Dodd whistle sounded, and the result was self-evident. Two cards, one yellow and one red, walked up to O'Neill and gave them all to him.
"Two yellows turned into one red, Hao caused O'Neal's foul!"
"It's difficult for Middlesbrough now, they have one less fight, it's really cruel."
"Hao has changed all this, he is still so violent, he eats his opponent strongly, O'Neal has to foul."
…
All the commentators' eyes lit up, knowing that the turning point of the game had occurred, and this game had entered an inflection point here, and Arsenal was completely in control of the situation.
O'Neill had nothing to argue with, at that moment he just wanted to keep Xiang Hao, but after the action was made, he knew that he couldn't dodge one card, plus the previous foul on Nasri, he knew that he was leaving.
So O'Neill walked very freely, but Southgate was worried, and his already frowning brows suddenly seemed to be constipated, frozen there, uncomfortable, and resentful.
'Complaining' Wenger sent Xiang Hao, and he buried his entire arrangement. A sense of powerlessness hit, but he didn't know how to change it, Southgate could only bite his lips and watch helplessly as the game passed.
In the arena, sometimes, it's so cruel that even if you know there's a problem, you still can't change it.
A game is an event, an experience, and after countless games, it is a life, a career life.
There is no doubt that at this moment, this life experience is bitter for Southgate, but for the Arsenal players, it is so wonderful.
They already believe that this is the end of the game, that they have the ability to finish the game, and that all that remains is to put the final nail on it and nail the game to death.
In the seventy-sixth minute of the game, a minute after Xiang Hao made a red card for O'Neill, Xiang Hao made a comeback.
Cesc Fabregas knows he's been holding back for too long and has nowhere to release his energy, so he's willing to give him the ball and let him take control of it all and run for him, just like this time.
Nasri's flank attack was blocked, and the ball was sent to the middle as soon as possible, and after Cesc Fabregas won the ball, he turned on the spot and made a gesture to get rid of the defensive forward, attracting the Middlesbrough defender.
Just when they thought Fabregas was about to turn around and break through, they found that the other party was actually turning and pulling, and a figure came from behind and completed a staggering with him.
After Xiang Hao, who was inserted forward, received Fabregas's knock ball, he pulled the momentum, and after plucking the ball, he immediately rushed to speed and rushed away.
Fabregas, meanwhile, switched back to Middlesbrough at the first time to draw firepower for him.
"Stop him, stop that Six!"
Southgate shouted loudly and motioned for his team to intercept Xiang Hao.
After a short period of stunned, I don't know if Southgate shouted the effect, Ma Long followed closely, and Tang Ning cruised in from the outside and began to prepare to grab Xiang Hao.
"Rush! Rush! Rush! ”
With continuous acceleration, Xiang Hao completely used this piece of turf as a vegetable field, wantonly spreading joy, like the wind, first shook off Ma Long's follow-up defense, and then grabbed the ball away before Tang Ning put the shovel, and continued to rush forward.
The entire Emirates Stadium became agitated in an instant, and the long-lost picture, the bloody picture, appeared in front of their eyes again, and they returned to the stadium again.
The figure of the wind, the glorious moment of Highbury in the past - Henry the Great.
When Xiang Hao galloped on the pitch, they seemed to see Henry sprinting at Highbury, except that Henry was more on the left side, while Xiang Hao was more in the middle, just like the goal Henry scored at the Bernabeu.
Xiang Hao has turned it into a big killer of his own.
All the way to the hole, Middlesbrough, who was missing one person, seemed to have no idea how to stand at all, and was rushed by Xiang Hao, scattered, and the formation was chaotic, like paper paste.
In fact, it is not Middlesbrough's too vegetable, but Xiang Hao's speed is too fast, and the speed does not give the opponent a chance to make up for the holes in the defense at all.
Originally, there was one less person for them, and Xiang Hao broke out from behind, no matter what, there was a congenital weakness.
Even if they had expected that Xiang Hao would plug in after the meeting, they couldn't guard against it at all, after all, people are alive, and the other members of the Arsenal team are not decorations, they always have to face immediate danger first.
Fabregas's cut will inevitably bring Xiang Hao out of the space.
In this way, Xiang Hao has more room to exert himself.
After dodging Downing's shovel, Xiang Hao was forced by Bates to quickly advance to the opponent's 35-meter area, which was called the 'King's Territory' by fans.
The Middlesbrough players have also heard of this area, so their defensive line collectively pressed forward, not giving Xiang Hao any space to shoot from a distance, and at the same time, they were also thinking of Arshavin and Bendtner being offside.
Unfortunately, they missed one person - Cesc Fabregas.
Since last season, Cesc Fabregas has been a 'cancer' in the Arsenal team, often focusing on moving forward, but unable to come back to defend.
However, the team can't blame him for anything, because his finishing ability in front of goal has really improved a lot.
Like a fish, it swam into the gap in Middlesbrough's defensive line, and suddenly rushed out with a flutter.
