Chapter 125: Killing Hull City
Arsenal's players were furious and the first half was a disaster for them; It's not that the Arsenal players performed poorly, but the referee's clumsy performances almost ruined Arsenal's first half of the game, and the Gunners are now in trouble, because of the referee's poor performance, but also because of the vengeful Hull City players again and again rough fouls.
Although in the first half, with the efforts of Hull City's players and the cooperation of the referee, Arsenal temporarily played a one-to-one match with Hull City, but Arsenal's players were still full of confidence in the second half of the game. Hull City defender Boateng has been sent off, and Hull City was one less man in the field throughout the second half, which is naturally the best chance for Arsenal, and the Arsenal players will surely launch a crazy counterattack in the second half.
In the second half, Hull City was one less player on the field, but they did not lose their determination to revenge Arsenal; Hull City defender Sayat suddenly stepped in to provide the assist, but it was almost the same as in the first half, this time Arsenal defender Campbell slid straight down Sayat.
Xiao Qing rushed forward for the first time, he didn't expect the veteran Campbell to be so hot, Arsenal suffered a loss in the first half, but in the second half of the game, Campbell returned it directly. Obviously, this time's sliding shovel has a certain revenge nature, but the thirty-five-year-old veteran's sliding shovel is certainly very fierce, but it is also experienced, and he will not be punished for malicious injury.
The players of the two teams seemed to be about to clash again, but this time the referee actually made a mistake again; Campbell was actually ready to be yellow carded, and this time the sliding tackle was indeed yellow carded. But the referee didn't show his cards at this time. Perhaps it was at half-time that he looked back at his performance in the first half. Now he may be trying to make up for Arsenal.
The referee has temporarily lost control of the game. His vague decision left the players on both teams a little dissatisfied, and it was clear that the referee was now deliberately trying to find a balance, which naturally made the game more explosive.
Hull City defender Sayat went off for treatment, but at this time Arsenal were not able to take advantage of the lack of two on the field to form a threatening attack, and Arsenal missed a great opportunity, and they could not score at this time to take the lead again. When Sayat returned to the court, he suddenly fell to the ground again and was eventually carried off a stretcher. It was clear that Campbell's previous flying tackle was still a threat. At least Sayat was affected by this and left the field depressed due to injury.
Campbell was lucky, as his flying tackle had escaped being shown by the referee; Although he did make a flying tackle that caused Sayat to be treated for a time, the real reason why Sayat was carried off the stretcher was because he accidentally sprained his knee. There must have been an element of Campbell's shovel in this, which is sure to be controversial, but Campbell's luck was that his tackle didn't directly injure Sayat.
Hull City's players are depressed to the limit, but now they are powerless; Although they are now increasingly dissatisfied with Arsenal, there is already one man missing from the field, and Hull City is naturally more dangerous to create difficulties in the game. Hull City has all but lost hope of a home win over Arsenal, and Hull City, who are now playing with 10 men, only needs to ensure that Arsenal will not continue to score in the next games.
Although it is a pity that it cannot completely prevent Arsenal from taking points away, it makes Arsenal only get one point away from home in the sprint moment of winning the championship. This might also be a good revenge, once Hull City can complete the mission. Then it is indeed able to bring some impact to Arsenal.
But it is obviously impossible for Arsenal to let Hull City get their wish, and Arsenal's attack can suppress Hull City; Coupled with the fact that Hull City now has one less man on the field, Arsenal will naturally have more chances. Arsenal's intention to win the three points away from home was very resolute, Walcourt replaced Denilson, and Arsenal began to strengthen their defense, and they wanted to launch a crazy attack in the half hour of the game to completely seal the victory of this game.
Xiao Qing smiled and whispered to Walcott on the sidelines, it seems that Arsenal is planning to launch a surprise attack on Walcott as soon as he comes on the field. Walcott had an immediate effect, breaking through the Hull City defence on the right side and knocking down the middle, Arshavin shot into a ball, and Xiao Qing shot high from ten yards out.
Xiao Qing jumped to his feet in a depressed manner, while the Hull City fans were still very happy; Although Arsenal dominated the game, it was enough that Arsenal could not score all the time. Especially when Xiao Qing plays anti-aircraft guns without defense, this naturally makes Hull City fans ridicule Xiao Qing in a big way.
The sarcasm of Hull City fans made Xiao Qing a little depressed, but Xiao Qing did not have other negative emotions; This time he really missed a great opportunity, and he deserved to be booed by the fans. Xiao Qing is the hottest player in the Premier League now, and Xiao Qing this season has almost won the honor of the first person in the Premier League; Such affirmation naturally makes fans and the media have higher requirements for Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing's performance is naturally unsatisfactory. What's more, at Kingston Stadium, Arsenal are already quite unpopular.
Arsenal are on the attack, and although they have missed good chances again and again, although Arsenal are still on the same score as Hull City, the Gunners will not let the victory slip away. Arsenal have to win this game because they need three points, and Hull City are also very cooperative, with one man missing from the pitch; If Arsenal can't win away from home in such a situation, it will be a big irony for Arsenal. Their goal is to win the league title, so Arsenal naturally need to seize such an opportunity.
In the 72nd minute, Klich's cross caused chaos and Bendtner fired a right-footed hook high from six yards. In the 75th minute, Walcott counter-attacked and found Arshavin, and Hull City defender Cooper broke the ball from Arshavin in the box. In the 81st minute, Arshavin handed the ball horizontally to Walcott, who made the first move, and Xiao Qing's shot from 12 yards out in the middle was blocked by Hull City defender Muyokolo. A minute later, the trio combined again, and Xiao Qing's cross after switching positions was played by Arshavin to Walcott, who shot wide from the same position. In the 85th minute, Clichy broke away from Fagan's defense on the left and fired a powerful shot from 18 yards out that was confiscated by McHill.
Arsenal's attack was ferocious, but they still struggled to score; This performance also made the joyous atmosphere at Kingston Stadium more and more intense, and Hull City fans seemed to see them sniping Arsenal hard, and they seemed to see Arsenal still suffer from the gloating ridicule of the media after leaving Kingston Stadium in disgrace.
There are only a few minutes left in the game, and Hull City has now fully retracted into the half; A few minutes to hold on to Zuihou would see Hull City end Arsenal's four-game winning streak and they will be able to deliver a crucial sniper on Arsenal's quest for the title. Of course, what is more important is that Hull City can be very proud to complete the revenge on Arsenal, the last few meetings between the two teams have been full of unpleasantness, and being able to make Arsenal depressed and uncomfortable is the most rewarding for them.
Xiao Qing absolutely does not believe that the team will still be embarrassed to get a draw when it occupies a great initiative, Xiao Qing does not believe that Arsenal, who was in great form before, will be sent to a draw by Hull City at this time, and lose the advantage of continuing to lead the standings completely. Although there is not much time left, Xiao Qing is still full of confidence.
In the 88th minute of the game, Arshavin and Diaby hit the wall in the middle and cooperated with a two-one-one kill in front of the penalty area; Xiao Qing knocked back directly after receiving the ball in the penalty area, which also made Hull City's defenders have no need to make up for the defense. But the follow-up Arshavin shot directly from outside the penalty area, and the Russian was obviously very depressed, and he was obviously a little impatient.
The Russian's long-range chances were not very good this time, nor were they within the tactical range of the team; However, the shot that held back the frustration of the Russians was powerful, and the Hull City goalkeeper McHill was in a good position and reacted in a timely manner; Although McHill was not sure to save the ball, McHill single-punched Arshavin's long-range shot, and it looked like Arsenal was going to be depressed to the moment of Zuihou! But although McHill did have a one-handed shot from Arshavin, Kingston Stadium was in full roar as the ball flew towards the penalty area.
Xiao Qing was very resolute and inserted into the small penalty area, and in the face of the ball hit by McHill, Xiao Qing did not have much reaction time at all. But Xiao Qing's current jishu is getting better and better, and Xiao Qing's performance on the court is also getting more and more exciting. Although this may not be a very good opportunity, Xiao Qing can seize the opportunity.
In front of the small penalty area, facing the fast flying ball, Xiao Qing didn't think much about it at all; Now he just needs to score goals and he's trying to get every chance now. Although the speed of the ball is very fast, it is even possible for the ball to fly over Xiao Qing's head in the blink of an eye. But at this time, Xiao Qing suddenly turned around and jumped up with both feet; Xiao Qing was really desperate, concentrating all his liliang on his legs, and with his excellent waist and abdomen, Xiao Qing made an upside-down golden hook at this moment.
Although Xiao Qing's back slammed into the grass, Xiao Qing's right foot, which he raised with all his strength, also touched the ball; Xiao Qing became Arsenal's hero, the ball bounced after hitting Xiao Qing's foot, and McHill, who had performed well before, obviously did not expect Xiao Qing to shoot in such a way.
The ball flew into the net from the side of Hull City goalkeeper McHill, who was caught off guard, and Xiao Qing successfully scored with an upside-down golden hook for the first time in his career. 2 to 1, Xiao Qing helped Arsenal beat Hull City at the zuihou moment of the game to win five consecutive league wins, and Arsenal continued to soar in the standings to launch a zuihou impact towards the championship!
