There was a cheerful and cheerful atmosphere in the Highbury stands.

In the eyes of Gunners fans, Arsenal will have another easy victory!

They love it so much, they enjoy the invincibility of their beloved team, and they can't help it.

Thierry Henry nodded to the fans in the stands as he ran towards the pitch, feeling depressed at the start of the season because he knew the importance of Patrick Vieira, whose departure would make his Champions League dreams fade.

However, two months later, the team has not fluctuated significantly in terms of results, and still maintains a strong posture, which makes him understand that the most important partner around him is no longer Vieira, but the young man he now sees on the sidelines.

Qin Xiong!

When Qin Xiong came over to hug Henry to congratulate him on his goal, Henry kissed Qin Xiong's cheek, he no longer had any evaluation of Qin Xiong, but a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side, and was an important force to support the backbone of Arsenal!

Together, there's nothing they can't do on the pitch.

Henry was convinced of this!

"King of Highbury, Henry the Great! He scored a brace, Birmingham's mistake in the transition was caught by Arsenal again, this time it was Qin Xiong who broke the ball in front of Pennant, and then he disrupted Birmingham's defense, originally Hleb had a chance to score, but the quality of his shot was so bad, and Birmingham goalkeeper Taylor's goalmouth reaction was also terrible! The ball bounced off his calf and gave Henry a chance to shoot in front of goal, and oh my God, Taylor must have panicked. ”

The entire Birmingham squad was discouraged and frustrated.

It's no problem to defend head-on!

No problem at all!

But it was obviously their chance to fight back. But in the process of organization, he was beaten by Arsenal to fight back and attack.

It's really hard to prevent.

Pennant felt that the world was not kind to him at all.

It was as if he was being targeted by Arsenal. Two goals conceded. It's all related to him, maybe he can clear up the relationship with the second goal, accusing Bart of having a problem with the pass, but in the picture of Qin Xiong breaking the ball, he acted as a background like a stupid hat.

His mentality has completely changed, even after half-time, the manager communicated with him and hoped that he could pick himself up and face the game with the right mentality. But in the second half, his performance was getting worse and worse, and his anxiety and panic were vividly reflected.

Qin Xiong admires a player like Gabiton who can continue to change for the better in the face of difficulties, but he does not have the slightest sympathy for Pennant.

Even if they've been teammates in the past.

In the 61st minute of the second half of the game, Pennant fiercely rushed to put Qin Xiong to the ground, and at the same time seemed to deliberately step on Qin Xiong's thigh, Qin Xiong stood up and controlled the emotion of beating the opponent.

However, he was not forgiving, and said sarcastically: "Coward! Clown! You're a wretched person! How? Can't stand the pressure? Not clear-headed? Does facing Arsenal excite you? You're not excited at all, you're just hiding the sadness in your heart! ”

The two faced each other, and Qin Xiong's words made Pennant completely lose his mind. He grabbed Qin Xiong's neck with a tearful look, while Qin Xiong sneered, "Look what you're doing?" Stupid donkey! ”

Pennant woke up suddenly. He immediately let go and turned his head, only to see the referee Stiles signaling him to stop with one hand and a red card in the other!

"Pennant was shown a red card by the referee! He must pay for his uncool actions! He fouled first, which was inevitable, Qin Xiong was stepped on by the other party, and then seemed to be about to clash with Pennant, but he never made a move, but Pennant raised his hand and grabbed Qin Xiong's neck, this is definitely a red card action! ”

Highbury booed Pennant and blamed him on the spot, and as he walked to the sideline with his head down, the Gunners fans in the nearby stands angrily gestured at him with the middle finger and shouted insults.

Pennant's heart was cold.

These fans, all the spectators from all over the world.

No one knows that he has dreamed of winning for Arsenal countless times over the past six years, but the team hasn't given him enough credit, or so he thinks.

Six years, how many six years are there in life?

How many more six years are there for a professional athlete?

Six years passed like this, and he was swept away.

Far from the dream he had had since childhood, he was still a professional footballer, but the door to glory and glory was closed to him.

He was not convinced! Unwilling!

At this point, he was also at a loss.

In the end, in Highbury, he wanted to prove himself and show the Arsenal people that the club had made an absolutely wrong decision: to give up Pennant.

still wants revenge, wants Arsenal to be hurt by his own hands.

He didn't know what kind of emotions he had in his heart

After Pennant was sent off, Birmingham's defence was under unprecedented pressure, they only kept one striker in attack, and now there is one less player, Birmingham are two goals behind, and they can't even remove the only striker.

It can be said that their frontal defense in this game was relatively successful, compressing the space in the penalty area, and the joint defense between the players was in place, but unfortunately the laxity and accident in the transition between attack and defense caused the team to concede two goals in a row.

In the 72nd minute of the second half of the game, Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas coordinated in the middle of the pass and cut to advance, when Qin Xiong advanced the attack to the front waistline, he suddenly split the ball, Ljungberg finally passed a good ball on the right side, the cross flew straight to the back of the goal, Hleb scored at the back of the goal, and Arsenal scored three goals to seal the win.

Because there will be a national team game next, Arsene Wenger also won early at home.

Arsenal managed to beat Birmingham City by three goals at home, and won eight consecutive Premier League games in the new season.

In Qin Xiong's post-match interview after the match, his clash with Pennant was the focus of the match, and Qin Xiong expressed his personal opinion.

"The result of the game is the most important thing, Arsenal won, Birmingham lost the game, what Pennant did to me, everyone who watched the game knows it, I think he acted very immorally, he knocked me down first and then deliberately stepped on my thigh when he got up, his acting was terrible, everyone who saw that process understood that he did it on purpose, I restrained my emotions, of course, it is also true that I spoke disrespectfully to him, I admit it, but I think I should blame him, should I be silent? His reaction next proved that he was irritable, he was sent off and I don't feel sympathy for him, he deserved it. ”

When asked if he had disregarded his former teammate's friendship, Qin Xiong smiled and didn't bother to answer this kind of question.

It's not that everyone has to be called brothers when they play for a team, and some people really think so, but they can only say that they are naïve. (To be continued......)
