"Toot!"

As soon as Bol's whistle blew, the 2008-2009 season, the quarter-finals of the English FA Cup, Arsenal's home match against Hull City officially began.

“gogogogogogogo!”

From the first blow of the whistle, the Arsenal fans who had been enjoying it immediately became radical, and the incessant shouts resounded in the sky.

At the beginning of the game, it was not as one might think, with Arsenal pounced and attacked with all their might.

First, the physical fitness is not good, and secondly, the rhythm of the game has not yet risen, Arsenal is firmly in control of the ball, but it is also looking for opportunities through careful footing.

In the seventh minute, Arsenal had a good chance when Diaby suddenly changed the tempo of Arsenal's attack as he transitioned through midfield, sending a long ball into the Hull penalty area.

"Hey, hey, Niklas!"

"Oh, ****!"

"A little bit worse!"

…

Amid the regret and scolding of Arsenal fans, Bendtner reluctantly gave Diaby a thumbs up.

The pass was a little bigger, a little closer to goalkeeper Myhill, and Bendtner himself hesitated when he started, although Bendtner entered the box, but it was still Mihill who grabbed the ball first.

This goal also announced the official start of Arsenal's attack, and in the tenth minute of the game, Arsenal got a great chance.

Alexander Song's through ball, Gibbs' cross from the left was met by an unguarded Van Persie's close-range header, but it went wide of the post.

"Huhu

The regretful Dutchman couldn't believe that the ball was crooked, and he hugged his head with an embarrassed face.

Arsenal, who missed two good chances, were retaliated against immediately after two minutes of the game.

Andy Dawson took the ball and pushed it across the half at high speed, grabbed the ball before Sagna blocked, passed the ball on the left, and former Liverpool veteran Bambi followed up with a shot on the left side of the penalty area, "Smack! ”

Although the power is great, Fabianski's center of gravity has also moved instantly, and the angle is not awkward. And it was at this time that an extra foot appeared.

There was a slight "click".

The rolling ball hit Djoroud's calf, deflected and hoisted, and fell into the far corner under Fabianski's stunned gaze.

“GOOOOOOOOOO――OL！！！ Bakobi, Bakobi - our hero! He scored! 1-0！ We are again ahead of Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, again ahead of Arsenal!! ”

The commentators in Hull City climaxed instantly, and the crazy shouts were the first to penetrate the commentary room and echo over the Emirates Stadium.

"Oh, ahead? We're ahead! ”

"Oh my God, we're ahead of Arsenal and we're in the last four!"

"Go to Thamad Arsenal! Go to the Tamad Londoner! We are their nightmare! ”

…

All sorts of foul language and yelling echoed through the city of Hull, and the Hull fans went completely crazy. In the FA Cup, they led Arsenal in the world's oldest competition, and the thrill instantly sent them into a state of euphoria.

And the more than 3,000 Hull City fans who watched the game at the scene were even more hugged, clenching their fists and shouting, and they were extremely excited.

The entire Emirates Stadium was overrun by Hull City fans in an instant.

"Phew, Arsenal."

Lineker saw the replay of the ball, and had to sigh and express his opinion, "Although there is a lucky element in this ball Hull City, it is a fact that Arsenal is not angry."

Sania, who was defending at the front point, leaked the space, Gala was snatched to the shooting point by Bakubi, and the extra shot by Julu made Fabianski's center of gravity sink in advance.

The entire Arsenal backline was a disastrous performance, and it is inconceivable how long Arsene Wenger would have tolerated such a mistake. ”

Lineker's harsh rhetoric. Although he thought Hull City had hope before the game, it was too unconvincing for such a low-level mistake to appear in a team of Arsenal's title-level level.

"Those who waste chances will be punished, Arsenal's players illustrate this very well on the pitch, and their defense, they have never done their best, these people's individual ability, a little bit far from Arsenal's goals."

Mortensen was also not polite, he was the first person to question Arsenal's defensive line at the beginning of the season, and naturally 'hated' Arsenal's mistake even more.

"Now, I'm afraid it's completely disrupted Wenger's tactical arrangement."

After blaming the Arsenal defense, Mortensen was more concerned about the follow-up development, "Judging from the opening, Arsenal's peaceful attack, Arsenal didn't want this game to be too intense, they wanted to control the rhythm and complete the fatal blow."

As in the game against Roma, it is Arsene Wenger's idea to let the players score early and control the tempo to win the game with minimal physical wear. However, as against Roma, Arsenal failed to do so themselves.

Now Arsenal have to press on the attack, this is their home stadium, the knockout round, the Arsenal players can't accept such a falling behind, and the fans will certainly not see their team lose twice to a team like Hull City in a season.

Better than Roma, they have almost a week's rest after that, maybe they won't feel too tired to fight, and Arsenal still have time, but they have to take advantage of it. ”

Mortenson's regretful and 'deserved' tone analyzed Wenger's arrangement, directly pointing out the way Arsenal must go. Mortensen is still more optimistic about Arsenal.

From the beginning, it was clear that Arsenal did not attack like a tide and did not exert enough force, but they were just as firmly in control of the situation on the field. In terms of overall strength, Hull City is not enough to turn Arsenal into another team and be knocked down.

"What the hell is wrong with this ball?"

Sitting next to Rice, Wenger asked with a sad face. Although it is like asking Rice, it is more like Wenger's own question and answer.

Before the game, they were all well arranged, requiring them to grasp the opportunity as much as possible, and also requiring the players to control the rhythm of the game and transition steadily.

After only 12 minutes of play, he put himself on his own, and the tactics he arranged were disrupted, and he had to enter a more difficult mode. It's no wonder that Wenger isn't angry.

But with the hard game still going on, Arsene Wenger got up and stood on the sidelines and motioned for his players to attack.

This is a home game, one goal down, Wenger wants to let the players play leisurely is no longer possible, and the opponent is unlikely to give himself such a chance.

The FA Cup, the longest season in the history of England, and indeed in the history of football as a whole, has always been known for its upsets.

One of the reasons why the weak team often defeats the strong team is that the strong team selectively gives up, and the other reason is that the weak team itself has played with momentum.

In the middle and lower leagues of England, their style of play is still dominated by the roughness of English football and the expansion of blood, as long as they are in momentum, the spirit of fighting dogs will make them feel like they have taken a dope, and they can't stop it.

Arsene Wenger is afraid of such a scene, so he must suppress the momentum of the other party's possible rise.

Falling behind by one goal, the Arsenal players were naturally unwilling, and under Wenger's instructions, they quickly picked up the pace, and they soon saw the ball into the opponent's net.

In the fifteenth minute, two players dribbled near the Arshavin penalty area, and suddenly a cross was made near the left side of the penalty area, and the ball crossed the opponent's head and fell into the penalty area.

Bendtner strode the meteor and followed with a furious shot, "Smack! ”

"Toot!"

The Danes had already turned to hug Arshavin in celebration, but they heard an unusual whistle, and when they turned around, they saw the referee, with his hands crossed, pointing to the goal line, indicating that the goal was invalid.

"How is that possible?!"

"How can this ball not count!"

"Damn, what is he doing?"

…

When Arsenal fans were about to celebrate their equalizing goal, they were stupid when they saw Bol's gesture, and unwilling questions came one after another.

Bendtner was also stunned, 'Offside?!' ’

glanced at the referee, and sure enough, the linesman had already raised his flag and abandoned it, with a blank face and no hesitation.

And in fact, through the slow-motion replay, Bendtner was indeed offside. In the moment of Arshavin's pass, he started early and took the lead with his big foot.

Although helpless, Wenger could only accept it. However, the development of the situation later, Wenger found it difficult to accept.

Although the goal was offside, Arsenal's attack continued unabated, but became more and more fierce, and they absolutely could not accept the opponent celebrating the promotion at their own home stadium.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, after Van Persie took the ball in front of the penalty area, after taking a step, he suddenly got up and missed before Sayat blocked it.

A minute later, Arsenal's attack returned, Van Persie passed the ball, Arshavin smashed Gardner on the left side of the penalty area, but was pulled out by Mai Hill.

In the 21st minute, Diaby passed the ball and Bendtner's shot from the left side of the box went wide of the near corner.

In the 24th minute, Andy Dawson was booked for a foul on Walcott, and Van Persie's free-kick from 25 yards was passed to the back post, and Bendtner, who leaped high, pushed the ball over the crossbar, and the sigh echoed again on the pitch.

…

After nearly 20 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, Arsenal suppressed the momentum of Hull City, and its own momentum also rose, but no, it couldn't break through the last barrier, and no matter how much it did in front, it was useless.

Wenger shook his head again and again, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

Now it's not about how strong the opponent is, it's about your own team being completely out of shape, which is the worst.

If this continues, Hull City will only become more and more confident. Wenger pursed his lips in deep thought.

'Arsenal are in some trouble, they've lost their shooting boots at home and that's the worst of it.

Mortensen couldn't help but shake his head again and again when he saw Arsenal's attacks being frustrated again and again.

'Now that Hull City's attacking posture is up, Arsenal may be in some trouble at the moment.

Entering the 35th minute, Lineker clearly felt that Hull City's rhythm was not right, and there was a faint concern for Arsenal.
