No. [067] Episode: Hodgson under pressure

Swish!

The football flew into the Birmingham goal.

The Emirates Stadium instantly jubilated, and the fans of the Arsenal team were very excited, jumping up one by one, shouting Dongfangchen's name excitedly, cheering for Dongfangchen.

"Dongfang Chen! Dongfang Chen! Dongfang Chen! Arsenal fans excitedly chanted Dongfang Chen's name, and at this moment, more Arsenal fans were conquered by Dongfang Chen.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Not long after the start of the second half, the home team Arsenal scored a goal to put the score in the lead. It was Dongfang Chen who scored the goal, and it was his first goal of the game. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray growled.

"The domineering header on the goal, Dongfang Chen broke through the goal of the Birmingham team in the most familiar way of Zhikic, he seemed to be saying that the striker of the Birmingham team is still him, it is him Dongfang Chen, no one can replace him!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.

Dongfang Chen, who scored the goal, was very excited, but Dongfang Chen did not celebrate.

The players of the Arsenal team rushed to Dongfang Chen frantically, but Dongfang Chen signaled to the players of the Arsenal team that he would not celebrate, and the fans of the Arsenal team understood, so they did not come forward to look, but waved to the fans of the Arsenal team.

"The ball is in! Dongfang Chen's first goal of the game. In this game, Dongfang Chen's table in the first half of the game was not particularly brilliant, it was very bland, everyone thought that Dongfang Chen was taking care of his old club and decided to let his old club go, but now it doesn't seem to be like this. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.

"However, at the beginning of the second half of the game, Dongfang Chen had a very good appearance, and he scored a goal as soon as he came up, shattering everyone's doubts about him." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"After the goal, Dongfang Chen was very excited, we could see it, but he didn't celebrate. It can be seen that Dongfang Chen is still very grateful to the Birmingham team. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

Birmingham fans saw Dongfang Chen score, and their feelings were very complicated.

In the past, Dongfang Chen would be very crazy and excited to score goals, and at that time they were Dongfang Chen's most loyal supporters. But now, they have only bitterness in their hearts.

Time, time has changed a qiē!

Behind, Birmingham fans know they're behind, they have to attack now, they don't want to take a game.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Birmingham team, Hodgson, was also very anxious at this time, he came to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Attack!" Next we attack! ”

Hodgson knows that Birmingham cannot afford to lose this game, and if they lose again, they will fall into the relegation zone. That's something they can't accept, and it's something Hodgson can't accept.

The pressure on Hodgson is on him right now, and if Birmingham's league results don't improve, he's not far away from getting out of class.

In this game, Hodgson naturally did not want to lose, and now that he is behind, if he doesn't fight again, their Birmingham team will have no chance.

Hodgson also reminded the Birmingham players to play high and go straight to Zhikic in the box to maximize Zhikic's advantage.

As soon as the Birmingham players learned of the manager's intentions, they immediately launched a ferocious attack and laid siege to Arsenal.

After taking the lead, Arsenal did not revert to the defense, and they naturally went all out.

The Birmingham team launched an attack, and the football came to the feet of Ji Chengyong, who looked up at the Arsenal team's penalty area, ready to directly drive the football to the front court with a big kick, taking advantage of the height of Zhikic.

However, at this time, Arsenal's striker Dongfang Chen suddenly rushed up frantically, stretched out his foot, and almost broke the football under his feet, startling Ji Chengyong.

Ji Chengyong immediately pulled the football back, passed the football back, and the football rolled towards the central defender James Collins, and Dongfang Chen immediately drifted past Ji Chengyong like a gust of wind and rushed towards James Collins.

James Collins immediately sent the football to the side, and Dongfang Chen turned and rushed to the side.

Dongfang Chen is very hard at this time, and all the Arsenal fans on the scene can see it.

Dongfang Chen played very actively on the court, and did not take any care and restraint because the opponent was his old club, and he was 100% in the game.

David Murphy on the wing received the ball, he took the ball two steps forward, then sent it forward, and the ball immediately rolled to the feet of Sebastian Larsson on the wing.

Seeing the Arsenal defenders pounce, Sebastian Larsson directly accelerated past the Arsenal defenders, and then directly crossed the ball into the Arsenal penalty area at an angle of 45 degrees.

"Cross! Birmingham crossed directly from a 45-degree angle down the flank, and the ball flew into the Arsenal penalty area. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"Zhikic! It's Zhikic again! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor immediately shouted loudly.

In the Arsenal penalty area, Zhikic jumped high, shook his head at the ball, and smashed the football into the Arsenal goal.

The Birmingham fans immediately became excited, and he raised his hands to cheer.

However, the ball flew over the crossbar and flew directly off the bottom line.

"The ball didn't go in, Koscielny's defense this time was very good, although it allowed Zhikic to top the football, but Zhikic gave the football a fly." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"Koscielny's defense was very crucial, and if it wasn't for his defense, the ball would have been headed over by Žikic. The goal is scored. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said,

The Arsenal fans immediately gave Koscielny a round of applause.

Goalkick, Arsenal won the goalball, Almunia kicked the ball away, and the ball flew into the Birmingham half.

Before Dongfang Chen could jump up this time, James Collins behind him rushed out, bypassed Dongfang Chen, jumped high, and pushed the football out.

The football flew quickly towards the Arsenal half, flying to the feet of Ji Chengyong.

Ji Chengyong immediately pulled the ball and turned around, and then directly sent a diagonal through ball, stuffing the football to Li Qinglong, who could be inserted in front of the road.

The football appeared normally in the vacancy, and Li Qinglong put on the side and got the football very easily.

Arsenal full-back Eboue immediately pounced and intercepted Li Qinglong. However, Li Qinglong suddenly and continuously accelerated to change direction, using its agility and speed to shake off Eboue.

Li Qinglong directly crossed the ball and passed the football into the Arsenal team.

"Cross! The cross is here again! Sky Sports commentator Andy Quarantine shouted loudly.

At this time, in the Arsenal team's penalty area, Arsenal's central defender Koscielny was very nervous at this time, and only followed Zhikic.

Zhikic immediately jumped high, but this time he didn't hit the ball, which grazed his scalp and flew to the other side of the court.

"Even! It's high! Li Qinglong's cross was a little more powerful, and the ball flew over Zhikic's head and flew out of the other side's baseline. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.

"This time Li Qinglong's breakthrough is good, but it's a pity that his cross is a little higher, otherwise the Birmingham team's attack is full of threat." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was also immediate.

The Birmingham fans at the scene erupted into a sigh of regret, wasting the opportunity.

Sideline ball, Arsenal full-back Klich threw the touchline ball out, and the ball immediately rolled to Nasri's feet. As soon as Nasri received the ball, Birmingham full-back Sebastian Larsson immediately pounced from behind and made a tackle.

The ball was stabbed out at Nasri's feet, but it rolled to the feet of Klich, who threw the sideline ball.

Christ immediately crossed the ball, which rolled to the feet of Alexander Song in the middle. Alexander Song immediately turned and played the ball forward, and it came to the feet of Cesc Fabregas.

Birmingham City midfielder Barry Ferguson made a direct sliding tackle to the ball at Cesc Fabregas's feet. Cesc Fabregas immediately made a lateral run to avoid Barry Ferguson's tackle and immediately raised his leg to make a pass.

However, Cesc Fabregas was touched by a sliding tackle by Barry Ferguson, who immediately fell to the pitch, and the referee blew for a foul and gave Barry Ferguson a yellow card.

From a free-kick, Arsenal won a free-kick at the back and Cesc Fabregas passed the ball directly to Walcott on the wing.

After receiving the ball, Walcourt immediately rushed to the Birmingham team's half with the ball, and the Birmingham team's full-back Li Qinglong rushed directly up and grabbed a grab.

Walcott reacted quickly, and with a feint, he dodged Li Qinglong's top grab. He immediately crossed the ball and it rolled to the feet of Cesc Fabregas.

Cesc Fabregas saw the ball and he sent it straight to the flank.

Nasri cut in quickly and curled the ball straight into the Birmingham box.

The players of the Birmingham team immediately became nervous, Dongfang Chen is very powerful, this time he will definitely not be able to let Dongfang Chen have a chance to attack directly.

Birmingham team's central defender James Collins stuck the line of the shot, and Dongfang Chen, who jumped high, naturally had no chance to shoot directly, and he immediately ferried a header and the football directly to the front of the penalty area.

Van Persie, who followed up, watched the ball bounce off the turf and bounce towards himself, and Van Persie reacted immediately, slamming his leg sideways and slamming it into the ball.

"Nasri crosses, Dongfang Chen's header is ferried, and Van Persie in the middle volleys directly sideways!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.

The Arsenal fans were very excited, jumping up one by one, ready to cheer for Dutch striker Robin van Persie.

The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene were pale, and this is dangerous. If Van Persie had scored that goal, it would have been very difficult for their Birmingham side to win.

In front of goal, Birmingham goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel saw the ball fly out, and he immediately flew out, stretching out one hand straight.
