No. [240] Round: The whistle does not sound and the battle does not stop
The only players who entered the Arsenal penalty area were Dongfang Chen, Sturridge, Kevin Boteng, Li Qinglong and Ji Chengyong, Sebastian Larsson in the corner area and the others in their own half.
At this time, the Birmingham team made a substitution, and Senderos replaced Martin Taylor, who was limited in fitness. Kevin Phillips was also replaced by Sturridge.
It's the final battle.
As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Sebastian Larsson in the corner kick area immediately curled the ball into the Arsenal penalty area, and the ball flew straight into the middle.
In the middle lane, Dongfang Chen suddenly jumped up and jumped high, one head higher than Vermaelen and Gala, who were also jumping.
The Arsenal fans immediately erupted in a panicked shout.
Dongfang Chen looked at the football flying over, he shook his head directly at the ball, and with a bang, the football flew quickly towards the goal of the Arsenal team.
Almunia then rose into the air, his hands stretched out, but unfortunately did not touch the football, which was slightly above the crossbar.
"Oops! Another missed opportunity! The soccer ball flew over the crossbar. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
The fans of the Birmingham team immediately erupted in a burst of regret, in the past few minutes, the Birmingham team launched two very threatening attacks in succession, both of which were only a little bit behind, and they were very sorry.
Asen's players couldn't take care of this, and directly drove the football out.
Time is very important for Arsenal right now, time is running out and they don't want to waste any time.
Almunia's goalball went straight into the Birmingham half, and midfielder Dongchen jumped high and flicked the ball to Sturridge on the side.
However, Sturridge stopped the ball a little too much this time, and the ball rolled directly to Denilson's feet.
Denilson immediately sent the ball to Cesc Fabregas, who used the ball to get Arsenal's two strikers and two wing-backs forward and wait for Cesc Fabregas to deliver them with shells.
The Birmingham City defenders were very nervous and followed the forward players closely, leaving no space for them to take chances.
Cesc Fabregas received the ball and sent the ball forward, then surprisingly straight from distance.
Cesc Fabregas's sudden choice to shoot from distance was somewhat unexpected, especially the Birmingham players, who did not react at all, or they turned their heads directly to look at the trajectory of the football's flight, without the slightest interception.
"Long shot! Cesc Fabregas's sudden long-range shot! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was very excited and shouted excitedly.
The Arsenal fans were unusually nervous and excited, and they were all staring at the flying football.
The ball was like a bolt of lightning across the pitch, clinging to the turf and hurtling towards the Birmingham goal.
Birmingham goalkeeper Joe Hart immediately took a step to the left as he watched the ball, then kicked his legs and catapulted out, stretching his hands desperately to intercept the ball.
However, even though Joe Hart was over 1.9 meters tall, his hand was still cut off, and the ball flew past his fingers and into the inside of the left post of the goal.
Quiet!
The entire Emirates Stadium fell silent for a few seconds, and no one made a sound!
It seemed that at that moment, no one wanted to believe that it was true. Although Arsenal fans have always believed in their hearts that Arsenal will definitely win against Birmingham, although Arsenal fans have been fantasizing about this moment......
But when this moment really came, they really couldn't believe it.
"Gooo......oo
"Ahhh At this time, the Arsenal fans finally reacted and began to roar selflessly, one by one as if they had just rushed out of the madhouse, booming and jumping, with unimaginable smiles on their faces.
The Arsenal fans felt that they were really lucky, and they were so excited that it was as if their hearts were going to beat out of their hearts in the next moment.
The Birmingham fans were stunned and stunned, they had been worried about the current scene, and naturally in their hearts they hoped that it would never happen. Sometimes, however, the more you think about something, the more things will go in the opposite direction you expected.
The Birmingham fans were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Inside the stadium, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was very excited, and it was rare to shake his fist excitedly in front of the camera, he was so excited.
Macleish, on the other hand, sighed heavily, and his regret was palpable.
Cesc Fabregas, who scored the goal, was very excited, immediately rushed around the stadium, and then jumped directly forward on the grass and slid rapidly, attracting a burst of applause from the Arsenal fans at the scene.
Watching the crazy celebration of the Arsenal players, Dongfang Chen felt a trace of bitterness in his heart, really bitter.
They worked hard for the whole game and looked like they were going to take the win. But at this time, the victory is gone, and it is taken away, which feels truly aggrieved, unacceptable, and painful at the same time.
The players of the Birmingham team were very depressed, and they lost all their spirit and spirit, and they were discouraged.
However, Dongfang Chen did not give up, he immediately clapped his hands and reminded the players of the Birmingham team loudly: "The game is not over yet!" We still have a chance! Are you happy to see the fruits of victory snatched away by others? ”
The players of the Birmingham team looked up one after another, staring blankly at Dongfang Chen, without any gleam in their eyes.
Dongfang Chen sighed suddenly, and shouted angrily: "You are willing, I am unwilling, the game is not over yet, attack and attack, for victory!" ”
Dongfang Chen didn't pay any attention to the players of the Birmingham team, and resolutely turned around and walked towards the center circle, he didn't want to waste any time, he had to win this game.
The players of the Birmingham team saw Dongfang Chen's back, their hearts were a little bitter, why didn't they want to take away the victory, but is it still possible? Many people shook their heads unconsciously?
However, the game is not over yet, and it is indeed not time to give up.
Sturridge immediately shouted: "The game is not over yet, you can't give up!" ”
Sturridge walked to the center circle and joined Dongfang Chen's lineup, he really didn't want to see the fruits of victory in his hands being snatched away by others.
The players from the Birmingham team are all back, walking back into the half and joining the fray.
The game restarted, and Dongfang Chen immediately signaled the Birmingham team to press forward, attack, and strive for victory.
However, at this time, the Arsenal team is playing crazy, and they are also attacking like crazy, which puts more pressure on the Birmingham team.
The two teams immediately launched a fierce attack, and the fans at the scene exclaimed, it turned out that both sides were warming up before, and this real game had just begun at this time.
In the 82nd minute of the second half, the Birmingham team launched an attack, Kevin Boateng and Sebastian Larsson made a series of one-twos, Sebastian Larsson directly curled the ball into a cross, Dongfang Chen in the middle jumped high, and the football was slightly off.
In the eighty-fourth minute of the second half, the Arsenal team also colored, Cesc Fabregas picked up a pass in the midfield, Van Persie, who rushed into the penalty area, took the lead in a volley, the football was slightly above the crossbar, and the Arsenal fans at the scene regretted for a while,
In the 86th minute of the second half, Arsenal's midfielder stealed, Denilson passed directly diagonally, Nasri on the side suddenly faked a cross and cut inside, and then directly volleyed from a step inside the corner of the penalty area, and the football flew out of the bottom line close to the outside of the near post.
In the eighty-ninth minute of the second half of the game, the Birmingham team made a long pass directly from the backfield, and Li Qinglong on the side pursued frantically, hooking the football into the penalty area before the football was about to go out of the bottom line. Not far from Gala's clearance, Ji Chengyong shot directly from a distance, slightly off.
The game officially entered the final stoppage time, three minutes.
At this time, the game has entered the white-hot stage, Dongfang Chen still did not give up, waved his big hand, signaled the players of the Birmingham team to press up, attack and attack.
Suddenly, midfielder Birmingham City successfully broke the ball, and this time Cesc Fabregas was a little careless, and the football was cut off by Ji Chengyong.
Immediately after the break, Ji Chengyong crossed the ball to avoid the pressure of Cesc Fabregas and Denilson, and the ball rolled directly to the feet of Kevin Boateng.
Seeing that time was running out, Kevin Boateng immediately pushed the ball forward, and the ball immediately rolled to the feet of Dongfang Chen in front of him.
Dongfang Chen took the ball with his back, he felt the defender of the Arsenal team behind him Galla rushing up, Dongfang Chen suddenly opened his legs and leaked the football, and Galla who rushed up couldn't react and was got rid of Dongfang Chen, who turned around quickly.
The Arsenal fans immediately burst into exclamations.
Dongfang Chen, who turned around, saw that there were a lot of people in the Arsenal team's penalty area, Klich, Vermaelen and Sania were all in the penalty area, and he didn't have many chances to enter the penalty area like this.
Therefore, turning around, Dongfang Chen directly swung his arms and legs, and slammed into front of him to look like a football.
Dongfang Chen is very confident in his long-range shot, and now that no one is interfering, this goal will definitely be scored.
With a bang, the ball bounced out and slammed into the Arsenal goal like a cannonball.
"Long shot! Dongfang Chen shoots from a distance! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray suddenly roared wildly.
As Grey roared, the ball immediately whistled and shot towards the Arsenal goal, and Arsenal defender Vermaelen immediately turned sideways and used his back to block the speeding ball.
However, Vermaelen did not touch even a single hair of the football.
The ball raced past Vermaelen and lightning towards the Arsenal goal, whose goalkeeper Almunia was terrified.
All the Arsenal fans in the stadium screamed in horror: "Don't! ”
Almunia gritted his teeth and swooped out sharply, his hands stretched out, desperately trying to block the ball.
However, he still did not touch the football, which flew mercilessly past him!
