Chapter 59: Expedition to Kyiv

"Oh, no, no, no, Niklas, fly?!"

"Phew, it scared me to death, that Dane almost killed me."

"How is it possible, this ball is lost?!"

At the Lobanovski Dynamo Stadium, which is home to more than 30,000 people, there were gasps, frustration and disbelief as Bendtner threw the unguarded ball high from around 11 yards.

Bendtner himself couldn't understand it, holding his head with both hands, and looked at Xiang Hao who gave him a good ball a little blankly.

He was also annoyed in his heart, this time because of Van Persie's injury, the Togolese left the team again, and finally started in the Champions League.

This was also a big blow to Bendtner, who had always been confident, and he walked back with a guilty face.

Xiang Hao was also a little dissatisfied with his incredible goal, if he could score in the fifth minute of the opening game, it would be extremely beneficial to the team's subsequent trend.

However, seeing that his little brother looked injured, Xiang Hao didn't say much, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and comfort him, "Okay, just seize the opportunity next time." ”

Bendtner thought that he would be severely reprimanded by his boss, but when he heard that his boss did not complain, but comforted himself, he couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, and nodded solemnly, "Well, don't worry, I said that 3w.ybdu will definitely score." ”

Xiang Hao didn't care, although it was a pity, but it was inevitable that there would be this kind of unacceptable thing in the game, if you lose it, you will lose it, and then create another opportunity.

With such a mentality, Xiang Hao and his teammates re-entered the game.

Even Arsene Wenger didn't care about Bendtner's golf this time and watched the game continue.

However, what happened next made Wenger jump a little and shake his head one after another incomprehensibly.

In the eighth minute of the game, Arsenal came again.

Arsenal played a series of passes on the edge of the opposition penalty area, and finally Cesc Fabregas completed a through ball and sent the ball behind the opponent's No.3 Betao.

Bella, who completed the cross-switch with Bendtner, successfully countered offside and was another one-knife goal, but unfortunately, Bella's rubbing shot weirdly crossed the crossbar and hit high.

It's not over yet, the eleventh minute of the game.

Aaron Ramsey, who came on for Nasri, slotted in from the left side of the rib and fired a pass to the back post.

The astute Denilson followed up and knocked back into the middle, and the entire Dynamo Kyiv defense collapsed in an instant.

But again, Arsenal failed to capitalise on their chances.

Cesc Fabregas's sideways volley, but because he was too anxious, he couldn't get it on target, and hit a rebound ball, which was tipped off the crossbar by Dynamo Kyiv goalkeeper Bogush.

Xiang Hao, who was behind him, saw this scene and slapped his fist with some annoyance.

If the ball had come from me, I would have shot them with one kick and let him get the ball.

However, without Xiang Hao's idea disappearing, Xiang Hao himself missed an opportunity to score.

Cesc Fabregas took a free kick, and Xiang Hao pressed against the opponent's two defenders, Betao and Bangura, to get the ball.

A powerful lion shook its head, "Get in!! ”

Xiang Hao shouted loudly, and in response to him was an earth-shattering sound, "Bang!! ”

The ball went past the goalkeeper as he wished, but slammed into the crossbar and post as Arsenal missed the goal for the fourth time.

Wenger's brows are almost twisted, even if his striker misses a goal, how can his two beloved disciples be like this, it's not the coldest season in Ukraine.

And seeing this scene, the Arsenal fans, who were waiting to jump up and celebrate, almost collapsed, missing four inevitable opportunities in a row: what's wrong with us?!

"Damn Ukrainians, what kind of magic are they?"

"****, we will never come to this ghost place again!"

"Whew, oh my God, what's wrong with our teammates?!"

The sound of frustration and sighing permeated the Arsenal fans, who thought that their team would press the opponent to play at the beginning, occupy the advantage, and be able to take the lead quickly, who would have thought that God would not let him score as if he would miss so many opportunities, what kind of thing is this!

"Oh! Thank God, thank God for taking away the shooting boots of the Arsenal players. ”

"This is our home turf! Our home turf! ”

"Hey, Londoner, go back and practice! Hehe. ”

In contrast, the fans of the Dynamo Kyiv team are overjoyed, and all kinds of ridicule are endless, which makes people angry.

In the boos and ridicule of the whole stadium, Arsenal's attack became more and more ferocious, and for a while, the Kyiv Dynamo team was in the middle of the pitch.

It's a pity that Arsenal still thunders and rains little.

Missing golden opportunities one after another, Arsenal is playing more and more simply, and the mentality between the players is becoming more and more impatient.

Arsenal were unable to create the same chances as they had in the first fifteen minutes, and Arsene Wenger shook his head in quick succession in the second half, looking dissatisfied.

With the Spanish referee Cantalejo whistle, the first match of Group G of the 2008-2009 Champions League season, Arsenal's away game against Dynamo Kiev came to an end.

Arsene Wenger shook his head and went back to the dressing room, waiting to lecture his players.

'In the second half, you have to be more patient, don't be in a hurry like in the second half of the first half, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just take the opportunity when it comes up, the ribs, go in from their ribs, just like you did in the previous games.'

Obviously, Wenger was even more dissatisfied with the state of his disciples in the second half of the game, blindly attacking blindly, which could only be a waste of their time and physical energy, so Wenger returned to the dressing room and did not criticize them for missing too many opportunities, but let them calm down first.

Arsene Wenger knows very well that only by calming down can he play his style of play and create new opportunities.

Arsene Wenger adjusted the mentality of the players in the dressing room, but unfortunately there is rarely a set pattern on the football field, this is the charm of football.

After the start of the second half, Arsenal's players patiently cooperated on the ground and methodically burned the fire to the opponent's half, but in the 49th minute of the game, they were hit in the head.

An unsuccessful Arsenal attack broke off at the feet of opposition defender Mick Harik.

With a big kick, Dynamo Kyiv didn't play any ground push with Arsenal, and Mick Harik kicked the ball directly to his winger Eremonko.

did not give Xiang Hao any chance to intercept, the fire burned directly to the front of the Arsenal penalty area, and Eremonko made a fake pass and distributed the ball to Bangura, who was on the side.

"Smack!"

A cross sent the ball straight into Arsenal's half, causing chaos in Arsenal's defensive line.

Toure thought the opponent was playing a low flat ball, and he didn't have the slightest preparation for the high ball, so he missed the ball.

Vukjevic.

Dynamo Kyiv's 1.84-meter-tall No. 5 was firmly rooted in the Arsenal penalty area, and he was about to leap up, but he fell to the ground in an instant.

"Toot!"

Sagna couldn't get around Vukjevic, and was still held behind by the opponent, there was no way, he could only pull the opponent vigorously, and finally won a penalty by the opponent.

"Gooooooo-OL!Banks, Banksa scored for us to score for Arsenal, 1-0, we are ahead of Arsenal!!"

The on-site commentators of Dynamo Kyiv, who had been dull for most of the game, could finally have time to cheer, and it was the most beautiful shout.

After a white wave, the prayer gestures of Dynamo fans in Kyiv instantly turned into clenched fists, shouts or high-fives with friends around them in celebration.

Leading the mighty Arsenal at home is a huge excitement for them to see their team go far beyond just foil.

A rap and passionate singing voice came from the stands, white confetti flew up, and the entire Lobanovski Stadium instantly turned into a sea of joy.

"Onward! Advance! Advance! ”

"Great Kyiv Dynamo!"

"Ukraine, invincible!

With Dynamo Kyiv scoring the first goal, the passion of the entire Lobanovsky stadium was fully mobilized, and the Ukrainians' defense became more and more solid.

Although Arsenal planned several good offensive opportunities, they were all defused by the Ukrainians, who were desperately defending the fruits of their victory.

In the 60th minute of the game, Arsene Wenger replaced Theo Walcott and Arsenal played as a striker. In the 78th minute, Sagna, who made a big mistake, was removed and replaced by Eboue, who had a stronger attack.

Almost all of Arsenal's offensive players were used, but unfortunately they still couldn't open the Ukrainians' defensive fortress.

Before you know it, the game is in the final five minutes.

Arsene Wenger could no longer sit comfortably in the dugout, pacing anxiously on the sidelines.

"Damn, these guys are staring so closely."

The opponent fouled in the backcourt, Xiang Hao wanted to serve quickly to hit the opponent's vacancy, but as soon as he looked up, almost all the lines were lined with players from the Kyiv Dynamo team.

Xiang Hao could only hand over the ball to Toure in a decent manner, and at the same time quickly inserted forward.

In this game, because there is a Denilson who helps him defend, he can calmly step forward and replace Nasri or Cesc Fabregas.

He was the most active in running the whole game, covering the whole field, if he still lost like this, Xiang Hao felt uncomfortable.

Like a wandering cheetah, Xiang Hao frantically burned his own heat, looking for every cooperation that could break through the opponent's defense.

Again, the opponent lifted the ball out of the box, and Denilson, who won the ball, quickly distributed the ball to Cesc Fabregas, and another wave of Arsenal attacks began.

At this time, the game has entered the eighty-ninth minute, and it is about to enter stoppage time, Arsenal is likely to lose, and the Arsenal players have already pressed into the opponent's half, including Toure, Galla and others.

And the players of the Dynamo Kyiv team also gathered in their own half, blocking every possible defensive gap.

Passing, running, pulling, passing, knocking, redoning...

Xiang Hao, Cesc Fabregas and others repeatedly pulled, interspersed, and passed in the middle, stirring the opponent's defensive system.

Finally, there was a gap on the left side of Dynamo Kyiv, and the leaked Walcott was pulled to the outside.

Xiang Hao sensitively captured this vacancy, threw the ball with an outside instep, and handed it to Walcoat on the right side.

At the same time, his hand was raised in the air, motioning for Walcourt to lob the ball for him.

All the Arsenal players rushed towards the Dynamo Kyiv penalty area in an instant, and almost all of the Arsenal players were betting on the last hand.

"Smack!"

Theo Walcott sent a high ball, the figures were crowded, and the heads of the Arsenal players were staggered in front of the camera, Bendtner, Xiang Hao, Denilson, Toure and Garra.

And these heads were mixed in the middle of the players of Dynamo Kyiv, and no one could find anyone, and the ball swept by.

Refraction, refraction, refraction.

“gooooooooooooooooooooo――ol!!!”
