No. 236: Recognition from Mr. Arsene Wenger

Boom!

The football slammed into the billboard next to the goal, sending out a thunderous roar.

"Oops!" The Arsenal fans immediately erupted in a sigh of regret, what a pity, this is a rare opportunity for the Arsenal team.

Corner kick!

Arsenal were awarded a corner and Arsenal's tall centre-backs Vermaelen and Galla both burst into the Birmingham box to scramble for headers.

These corner kicks are a great opportunity for them to break down the opponent's goal, and Arsenal take these opportunities very seriously.

At this time, Dongfang Chen also returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense, and he actually followed Vermaelen.

Arsenal's Nasri raised his right hand and then curled the ball out of the box.

There was an immediate chaos in the Birmingham team's penalty area, and everyone was surging at a rapid pace.

The football flew straight to the front point, and Vermaelen and Dongfang Chen jumped up quickly to compete for the goal.

"Dongfang Chen and Vermaelen! Vermaelen heads the goal! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared, and the beasts were in awe.

"Wow! Dongfang Chen's beautiful defense, the football once again flew out of the bottom line! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor exclaimed excitedly.

Vermaelen, who was in a better position, hit the football, but Dongfang Chen on Vermaelen's side jumped better, and the football in Vermaelen's top hit Dongfang Chen's head, and the football changed direction and flew out of the bottom line.

The Arsenal fans at the scene once again erupted into a sigh of regret, and on the sidelines, Wenger also kept shaking his head.

Corner, another corner for Arsenal.

This time, it was still Nasri who came to the main position, and it was still the same position, Nasri raised his itchy gesture this time, and Dongfang Chen followed Vermaelen and rushed to the front point frantically.

However, this time Nasri drove the ball straight to the back post, where Gala jumped high and headed home.

"Gala! Tarzan is at the top! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement.

The Arsenal fans watched excitedly as the ball flew towards the Birmingham goal. But a pair of big hands blocked all their hopes.

Syllable! Joe Hart rose to his feet and slammed the ball out with one palm, which flew over the crossbar and off the baseline.

"Brilliant save, Joe Hart was in complete control, beautiful!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"Corner! Arsenal win another corner! It was their third consecutive corner. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

This time, Nasri is going to switch sides and switch to the other side to take the main corner.

At this time, Dongfang Chen in the penalty area only followed Vermaelen, at this time he was no longer a striker, but a competent defender.

This time, Nasri did not drive the ball into the box, but took a break and the ball was caught by Klich on the wing, who immediately knocked the ball with his heel to Nasri.

The Birmingham defenders immediately pounced and pounced on Nasri, who immediately waved his hands and legs and made a cross, and the rushing Zim Bonda immediately jumped to his feet, baring his teeth and claws like an octopus to block Nasri's cross.

However, after Zim Bonda jumped up, he realized that Nasri did not directly cross the ball with a high ball, but suddenly shook his ankle and pushed the football flat to the front of the penalty area.

There, Arsenal's captain, Cesc Fabregas at the heart of the midfield, was stepping forward, waiting for the ball to fly in and shoot straight away.

Zim Bonda was shocked, but unfortunately he was too late to stop him when he jumped into the air, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

Dongfang Chen, who was following Vermaelen quickly, also saw this situation, and he immediately turned around, shook off Vermaelen, and rushed out at a fast speed to intercept Fabregas's long-range shot.

At the same time, Comrade Kevin Boateng in the box also rushed out, he jumped up again and flew into the air to block Cesc Fabregas's long-range shot.

"Cesc Fabregas, long shot!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.

With a bang, Cesc Fabregas struck the ball hard, and the ball immediately swept through the stadium like a ray of light, which was really too fast.

Kevin Boateng in the air and Dongfang Chen did not stop the football, and the football flew past them at a high speed and flew towards the Birmingham goal.

All the Arsenal fans in the stadium were overjoyed that they were finally about to score and equalise.

The fans of the Birmingham team are very worried, this time it is really dangerous.

In front of goal, Birmingham goalkeeper Joe Hart made a quick sideways pounce with his hands stretched out.

Unfortunately, Joe Hart didn't pounce on the football, but the Birmingham fans cheered.

"Almost! Almost! The soccer ball flew out of the bottom line almost against the post on the right! It's a pity, Cesc Fabregas's kick is just a little bit off, I'm really sorry! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said with great regret.

Yes, this goal is really dangerous, just a little bit off, and the Birmingham team is really lucky.

On the sidelines, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger pouted sharply, obviously she was very uncomfortable in her heart, this opportunity is rare, but unfortunately it is still a little bit short, and she is really speechless.

Arsenal's attacking streak has put a lot of pressure on the Birmingham team, and it will be difficult for the Birmingham team to defend if they only rely on defense.

McLeish immediately came to the sidelines and reminded the players of the Birmingham team that they must be resolute when counterattacking, they must be fast, and they will play the counterattack, whether they go in or not, as long as they threaten the goal of the Arsenal team, the Arsenal team will have some scruples, and will not attack as unscrupulously as the fairy, so the pressure on the Birmingham team's defense will be reduced a lot.

Joe Hart took the ball and the ball flew out of the box and into the Arsenal half.

Dongfang Chen in the front court immediately jumped high and fought for the ball, and behind Dongfang Chen, the defender of the Arsenal team, Vermaelen, immediately jumped high and also came to fight for the ball.

However, it was obvious that Dongfang Chen occupied the top, and Dongfang Chen immediately shook his head and threw the football to Sebastian Larsson, who was cutting forward on the wing.

Sebastian Larsson received the ball, dribbled forward quickly, and then suddenly curled a cross close to the ground, and the ball flew into the Arsenal penalty area, bypassing the defenders in front of him, and the ball spun directly to Kevin Phillips on Galla's side.

"Wonderful Biography! Sebastian Larsson's pass was very accurate and Kevin Phillips leapt to the top! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.

Almunia in front of the goal immediately flew sideways, his arms stretched out, but he did not touch the football, which deflected wide of the goal and hit the billboard hard.

"Wow! Birmingham were unlucky this time, Kevin Phillips didn't get the angle right, and the ball went straight out of the goal, which is a pity, a pity. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately said with regret.

The Birmingham team's combination was very simple, but the effect was very good, the only one who was a little worse was Kevin Phillips, who did not control the direction of the football, otherwise the Birmingham team would have led Arsenal 2-0.

By this time, Wenger's view of the Birmingham team in front of him had changed, this team was actually different from the team he imagined, and now they have encountered this team, although there are still many problems, and the team has not reached a good state in terms of team cooperation and tacit understanding, but their competitiveness is still very strong.

At this time, Wenger couldn't help but turn his head to look at McLeish in the Birmingham coach's box, he suddenly had a little optimism about McLeish, McLeish This guy introduced these players are not bad, the strength is still there, although it does not reach the level of the giant team, but once these players are kneaded, they have the strength to compete for European qualification.

Arsene Wenger realized that the team in front of him was not so easy to deal with, and his brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart fluctuated a little. However, Wenger did not come out of the table, and still stood by calmly.

Goalkick, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia kicked the ball out with a big kick, the football flew quickly to the Birmingham half, Van Persie jumped high, but did not reach the football, the ball was pushed out by Ridgewell behind him.

The ball flew quickly towards the Arsenal half, but it fell to the feet of Cesc Fabregas, who suddenly made a long pass to the side before Dongfang Chen could pounce.

Eboue scrambled forward, jumped high and flicked his head to flick the ball to Denilson, who was following in the middle.

As soon as Denilson took advantage of the football, Birmingham's South Korean midfielder Ji Chengyong pounced, stretched his leg to break the ball, and gently knocked the ball under Denilson's feet, and the football rolled out quickly.

Fortunately, Denilson's second reaction was very fast, he immediately carried Ji Chengyong with his body, separated Ji Chengyong from the football, and then he controlled the football again.

Denilson immediately passed the ball to Sania, who rushed up, and Sania made a direct wide transfer, passing the ball to Nasri on the other side.

The pass was so precise that the ball flew straight towards Nasri, and the Birmingham defence immediately moved to the other side.

Li Qinglong and Zim Bonda rushed up and went up to block Nasri. Who knew that Nasri didn't stop the ball at all, he stretched out his leg and knocked the ball flying towards him to the middle, and the ball immediately rolled between the bodies of Li Qinglong and Zim Bonda and rolled towards the middle.

Like a red bolt of lightning, Klich rushed behind Li Qinglong and Zim Bonda, chased the football, and smashed into the Birmingham team's penalty area.

Birmingham centre-back Ridgewell immediately made a quick save to intercept Klich.

Christ took only two steps forward before he suddenly struck the ball sideways and it scurried past Ridgewell and into the middle.

"Van Persie! Van Persie shoots! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray suddenly roared in horror, the situation was very dangerous.

The Arsenal fans stood up, their eyes glued to the pitch in anticipation.

The Birmingham fans are very nervous and very worried, this situation is really too dangerous, the Birmingham team is dangerous this time.
