Chapter [172] Round: Dongfang Chen is already standing on the sidelines

The goal went in, and in the twelfth minute of the first half, Birmingham, who were playing at home, broke through the Arsenal goal and took the lead.

"The Birmingham team took the lead in the twelfth minute of the game, which was something that no one expected before the game, but the Birmingham team surprised everyone today, and it seems that the Birminghams were really well prepared." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"Compared to the Birmingham's full preparation, Arsenal's side are a little unprepared. At the start of the game, Birmingham were significantly quicker to get into the groove, while Arsenal were not. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.

Dongfang Chen, who was sitting on the bench, was also surprised, he didn't expect the game to be like this, it can be seen that the Birmingham team is very well prepared today, and this game is not easy to play.

On the bench of the Birmingham team, Zhang Ningpeng was very excited, he stood up directly from the bench, waved and cheered excitedly, and hugged his teammates around him.

It seems that Zhang Ningpeng is doing well in the Birmingham team, and Dongfang Chen is relieved.

After falling behind, Arsenal immediately launched an attack and intensified the attack, with Cesc Fabregas and Rosicky taking turns to organise attacks and threaten the Birmingham goal.

Under the tutelage of Cesc Fabregas and Rosicky, the Arsenal team gradually found their sense and got into shape.

In the nineteenth minute of the first half, Arsenal created a good chance, Cesc Fabregas suddenly advanced with the ball in the midfield, which caught the Birminghamers off guard.

The ball rolled quickly to Rosicky's feet, who slashed his leg and fired a long-range shot.

Rosicky's long-range shot is very powerful, and this guy's famous trick when he was in Dortmund was long-range shooting.

The Birmingham players knew Rosicky was shooting from distance and he immediately stepped forward to block it. It was at this point that Rosicky suddenly turned into a push and pushed the ball into the Birmingham City penalty area.

In the penalty area, Arsenal striker Robin van Persie volleyed straight to the Birmingham goal. Unfortunately, the angle was a bit right, and the ball flew straight into Kaspar Schmeichel's arms.

It was Arsenal's best chance since the start of the game, but Van Persie didn't take it.

Five minutes later, the Arsenal team made a comeback, this time Walcourt broke through with the ball at high speed on the side, counterattacked, he connected two ordinary people, and then knocked the football horizontally, and the Russian Tsar who rushed up on the other side did not stop the ball, and directly waved back the volley, but unfortunately it was not suppressed, and the football flew directly over the crossbar and out of the bottom line.

During this period, Arsenal's attack came up and got more and more opportunities, but there were not many opportunities for them to really threaten the Birmingham goal.

Instead, Birmingham's counter-attack was more threatening.

Arsenal were attacking frantically, but there was a mistake in the forward pass, and Cesc Fabregas's pass went straight to the feet of Birmingham player Ji Chengyong.

Immediately after Ji Chengyong broke the ball, he made a long pass over the top and passed the football to the side.

On the side, South Korean player Lee Qinglong immediately followed the ball forward with the ball and rushed to the Arsenal penalty area at high speed.

The Arsenal players were shocked and immediately chased back, and Arsenal full-back Klich rushed towards Li Qinglong.

Li Qinglong suddenly crossed the ball and passed the ball into the Arsenal penalty area with a curling ball.

In the middle of the box, Chamacher and Koscielny both jumped up at the same time, but Chamar grabbed the spot, and he flicked his head directly to Carlos Vela who was following him.

Carlos Bale didn't stop the ball and went straight to the volley.

With a bang, the football shot quickly towards the Arsenal goal, and the Arsenal fans at the scene were very frightened.

The football was slightly over the crossbar, and the Birmingham fans in attendance erupted in a collective burst of regret, if this goal could be scored, they would be two goals ahead of Arsenal, in which case, they would have won this game is basically a certainty.

On the sidelines, Dongfang Chen, who was sitting on the bench, shook his head for a while, why is something wrong with the players of the Arsenal team today? Feeling a little dazed? Birmingham's attack was too easy to get a shot on goal.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger also saw this, and he immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly, reminding the Arsenal players: "Focus and cheer up!" Watch your defense, watch your defense, and don't let them shoot lightly! ”

Arsène Wenger's shouting lasted five minutes, and five minutes later, Birmingham's attack returned, this time in much the same vein. It was still a long diagonal pass from Ji Chengyong who found the players of the Birmingham team on the wing.

However, this time the football did not fly to his national team teammate Li Qinglong, but to Sebastian Larsson on the other side, who sent the ball into the Arsenal penalty area with a 45-degree diagonal cross directly from the wing.

This time it was still Chamacher, who jumped up and fought for the football.

This time Koscielny grabbed the penalty and headed the ball out, but it fell to Carlos Vela of Birmingham, who followed up.

Carlos Vela was not polite at all, snatching the football into the penalty area, and then shooting directly sideways, driving the football into the far corner of the goal.

The ball immediately drew a crescent arc around the soaring Almunia. Then it hit the inside of the foothold at the far end of the goal hard and bounced into the goal.

"Ball in, ball in, ball in!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement, and he was surprised that Birmingham had a two-goal lead over Arsenal.

The Birmingham fans were very excited, jumping up and cheering excitedly, and the entire St Andrews stadium instantly became a sea of their changes.

"Wow! It was an unusual game, with just 29 minutes of the first half and Birmingham scoring two goals to lead Arsenal by two goals, I couldn't believe my eyes, is that really true? Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

On the sidelines, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger saw the football fly into their team's goal again, and he was so angry that he scolded his mother! How did these damn guys give Carlos Vela a shot so lightly?

Arsène Wenger is really angry, what kind of defense is this? It's too easy for people to get a chance to shoot!

Dongfang Chen, who was sitting on the bench, was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the Birmingham team to get the chance to shoot so easily, he couldn't believe that the team in front of him was Arsenal.

"Wow! It was a game that shocked us as Birmingham led Arsenal by two goals. In my opinion, Birmingham are more like teams at the top of the league table, while Arsenal are more like teams that have been relegated. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

The Birmingham fans were very excited, very excited, they actually led by two goals, and it seems that this game was won.

"In today's game, Arsenal's two discarded players did a good job, one goal at a time, and they proved their worth in front of the Arsenal team." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

"I think Arsène Wenger should make some changes at this time, and I think Dongfang Chen should be able to play at this time." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

Yes, at this time, the Arsenal team should have to make adjustments, otherwise the Birmingham team is likely to score again, if the Birmingham team scores another goal, the Arsenal team will be really difficult to play in this game.

Arsène Wenger may have heard Andy Gray's words, and he immediately turned around, came to the sidelines, and shouted at the bench: "East, go warm up, come back in five minutes." ”

Dongfang Chen, who was sitting on the bench, was slightly stunned, he didn't have a line draft At this time, Arsène Wenger would call him, but he was not stunned, he immediately stood up, took off his coat, walked to the sidelines, and began to warm up.

The fans in the St Andrews stadium saw the Arsenal player Dongfang Chen get up to warm up, and the Birmingham fans immediately broke out into a shout, but many people don't know what the shouts of the Birmingham fans represent? Is it to welcome Dongfang Chen? Or is it ironic Dongfang Chen?

"Wow! What do we see? Arsenal striker Dongfang Chen appeared on the sidelines, he began to warm up, it seems that Arsène Wenger really can't bear it at this time! At this time, Arsène Wenger is about to make a substitution. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.

Arsène Wenger was not thinking about strengthening the defence, but about attacking it. In Arsène Wenger's view, the main reason for the current situation is that the Arsenal team does not put enough pressure on the Birmingham team. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

Dongfang Chen naturally attracted the attention of a lot of people on the sidelines, and even many people paid attention to Dongfang Chen here, rather than in the game, as if Dongfang Chen's warm-up was much more exciting than the game.

During Dongfangchen's warm-up, the Birmingham team had another very good chance on the pitch, although Sebastian Larsson's cross on the wing was headed out by Vermaelen, but the football fell directly to the feet of Ji Chengyong outside the penalty area.

Ji Chengyong didn't say a word, and directly slammed his leg into a long-range shot, which slammed the football towards the Arsenal team's goal. The ball was powerful and fast, but unfortunately it was slightly off, and the football rolled out of the bottom line, and the fans of the Birmingham team on the scene were full of regrets.

At this time, Dongfang Chen, accompanied by the fourth official, came to the sidelines.

All the Birmingham fans at the scene were shocked, Dongfang Chen was finally going to play. At this time, the fans of the Birmingham team did not applaud Dongfangchen, but gave Dongfangchen a thunderous applause.

"Substitution, Arsenal is going to change, Dongfang Chen came to the sidelines, let's see, who is he going to replace?" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
