On New Year's Day 2010, Arsenal began their journey in the new year; This is when they will start the first race of the new year and they will start the second half of the 2009-10 season. In the 20th round of the Premier League, Arsenal will travel to Portsmouth to face Portsmouth, which is a game that Arsenal needs to win.

goalkeeper Almunia; The back line from right to left: Sarnia, Galla, Vermaelen and Traore; Defender Alexander Song, attacking midfielders Diaby, Nasri and Arshavin; On the forward line, it is naturally Xiao Qing. Although Fabregas, the core of Arsenal's midfield, was unable to play in this game due to the recurrence of an old injury, the release of Xiao Qing and Nasri's red cards also relieved Arsenal's urgent need, and their starting lineup in this game did not look so shabby.

Arsenal are unbeaten in the last 20 meetings between the two sides, with 12 wins and 8 draws, including 13 meetings in the Premier League, with 7 wins and 6 draws. Portsmouth's most recent win over the Gunners was back in the First Division in March 1958. So even when it was a visit to Fratton Park, Arsenal still had full confidence.

Xiao Qing is very confident in this game, of course, more ambition; This is Arsenal's first game in the second half of the season and the first game of 2010, so Xiao Qing, who wants to get off to a good start, naturally hopes for a victory in this game. And in this game, Fabregas and Van Persie are not there, Xiao Qing is a well-deserved single core; Although Xiao Qing was also a single core in the previous eighteenth round, just one game was not convincing enough, and Xiao Qing needed to prove his ability to lead the team alone. He's going to have to prove that he can carry Arsenal and be competitive enough in this competitive league.

Both sides got off to a lackluster start. It wasn't until the 11th minute that Portsmouth, who played at home, took the lead. Portsmouth midfielder Boateng used his speed down the right to drive straight into the ball and fired a right-footed shot from 12 yards out that was saved by Almunia.

Although the Gunners seem to be a little slow to heat up, but when Arsenal get into the rhythm, Portsmouth starts to fall behind, and it is difficult for them to continue to fight against Arsenal for a long time, they do not have the confidence and ability.

Arsenal gradually gained the upper hand, and in the 17th minute, Sagna played the ball down the right and into the middle. Xiao Qing pressed the defender and headed wide from six yards in front of goal. Two minutes later, Nasri plugged in, Xiao Qing burst into the left side of the penalty area and crossed, Diaby's close-range push was blocked by the goalkeeper.

Xiao Qing's active performance has greatly increased the pressure on Portsmouth's defense, Xiao Qing's jishu and strong body are the nightmare of Portsmouth's defensive players, they can't limit Xiao Qing's active performance at this time, they just passively need to beware of Xiao Qing's terrifying impact again and again at this time, they have worked hard, but there is no way to completely freeze Xiao Qing, and even they have become more and more difficult to parry Xiao Qing's impact.

In the 21st minute of the game, Arsenal launched an attack with a long pass. Nasri pushes lightly on the edge of the penalty area; Xiao Qing in the middle shook the ball and changed direction, and the defenders of Portsmouth panicked and only noticed Xiao Qing for almost a moment. So when Xiao Qing picked up the top pass, Portsmouth was completely panicked. But something frustrated Arsenal was the referee's whistle as Arshavin was set off for offside when he fired from close range.

Although he was banned for one round, Xiao Qing's state is still guaranteed, and now Xiao Qing feels that he is getting better, and now he feels that he has found the feeling of the game. Portsmouth's defensive ability is not very strong, so this also makes Xiao Qing feel that it is possible to tear apart Portsmouth's Zuihou defense at any time, because they have reached their limit now.

In the 24th minute of the game, Arshavin crossed after breaking through on the side, Xiao Qing stabbed the ball forward after receiving the ball, and used his speed and explosiveness to break through Xiao Qing, who was the first defender, to take the ball sideways to find an opportunity; Although the Portsmouth defenders began to adjust the defense line at this time, Xiao Qing faced the defenders in front of the penalty area and exaggerated a circle on the ball with his right foot before flicking the ball.

'Bang', Xiao Qing, who dodged a small vacancy, directly kicked the ball violently, and in the face of Xiao Qing's powerful shot, Portsmouth's defenders were caught off guard;

Xiao Qing, who scored the goal, jumped high and punched hard, and Xiao Qing, who scored the goal, helped the team score the first goal of the second half of the game, and he scored Arsenal's first goal in 2010, Xiao Qing made a good start for Arsenal.

Arsenal's morale is high, and the away leader Arsenal are not satisfied with a one-goal lead, they want to score more, and they will be hoping to seal the win of the game at this time. So at this point they need to work harder, they still need to pursue more goals.

Portsmouth's defensive pressure was very high, and Portsmouth, who were compressed in the half, had no power to fight back at this time, and they were very passive to be attacked by Arsenal again and again.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Portsmouth defender Kabul made a mistake in the backfield; Up front, Arshavin used his speed to shovel out Kabul's pass; Diaby went straight to the left side of the penalty area, Xiao Qing unloaded the ball with his left foot and knocked Ramsey, and Ramsey knocked on the right side; Nasri dribbled the ball straight into the six-yard box, and Arsenal's attacking players rushed towards the goal like sharks smelling blood. Nasri kicked the ball towards goal from the right side of the penalty area, and it was a fierce competition between the players of both teams in the face of such a low pass.

Xiao Qing jumped up on his chest to stop the ball in the pinching of the defender, and Xiao Qing, who did not wait for the ball to land, took advantage of the fact that the Portsmouth players did not dare to foul and were a little restrained, and when he was a little restrained, he gently picked the ball up on his toes; Directly half-turned and used the instep to hit the ball heavily, in the face of Xiao Qing's close shot, Portsmouth goalkeeper Begovic was also powerless, he could only see Xiao Qing score twice in their home stadium and celebrate recklessly.

2-0, Xiao Qing's two goals have sharply reduced Portsmouth's morale, and the current Portsmouth players can also see that they can't help the current leader of the Premier League scorer list, Xiao Qing's aggressiveness in the game is something that Portsmouth can't parry. So at this time, they were tragic, and now they are at a loss, they don't dare to make up their minds at all, because Xiao Qing is very deterrent, and Arsenal's other attackers are not bad.

Although he scored two goals, Xiao Qing still hopes to do better; If you complete the hat trick in the first game of the new year, this is definitely an extremely happy thing, now the team has a two-goal lead, plus Portsmouth is simply powerless, so Xiao Qing can also let go of his hands and feet at this time to start more individual attacks, he doesn't need to be too selfless now, he doesn't need to worry about affecting the team's offensive fluidity.

In the 48th minute of the game, Xiao Qing received a pass from Diabi and entered the penalty area to force a shot, but was refused; In the 53rd minute of the game, Arshavin took a corner kick, and Xiao Qing's violent header at the front point was caught by the Portsmouth goalkeeper; In the 62nd minute of the game, Ramsey broke the ball in front, deducted the defender and sent a pass laterally, Xiao Qing went straight into the small penalty area to grab the point and shoot wide.

Xiao Qing's active performance in the second half of the game made the Fratton Park stadium sound exclamations from time to time, Xiao Qing's eye-catching performance made the defenders walk on thin ice at this time, they didn't know if they could completely block Xiao Qing's shooting space at this time.

Arsenal's morale is booming, and at Flaton Park, Arsenal has thoroughly played the style of the Premier League's number one attacking ability, and they have made Portsmouth lose out on the other with their fluid attack and powerful attacking ability here. Xiao Qing is still chasing goals, Xiao Qing is basically staying near the penalty area at this time and waiting for his teammates to feed the ball, he believes that his teammates can give him enough support at this time.

In the 71st minute of the game, Arsenal defender Song broke the ball in front, although the Portsmouth players organized a counter-robbery at the first time, but Song still boldly chose to break through with the ball by himself; He broke through Portsmouth's first line of defence and slotted into the penalty area and sent a through ball before the Portsmouth defenders were in place. Xiao Qing in the penalty area gently picked up the ball during the run, although Xiao Qing's speed slowed down at this time, but the defenders panicked at this time.

I have to admit that the penalty area is very crowded at this time, but Xiao Qing, who picked up the ball, gently put the ball on his knee and toe a little ball again; In the crowded penalty area, Xiao Qing seemed to be doing the ball easily in the usual training, which also made the Portsmouth players at a loss, they did not have the opportunity to steal with their feet, and they did not even dare to touch Xiao Qing at all.

Xiao Qing took three or five steps forward from the ball, and Xiao Qing, who was in the hinterland of the penalty area, picked up the ball fiercely, and suddenly jumped up when the players in Portsmouth were at a loss; Xiao Qing, who had his feet off the ground, turned sideways, and Xiao Qing in mid-air volleyed directly, and his outside instep hit the ball, and the ball was also hanging directly in the upper right corner of the goal at this time!

Although Xiao Qing's breakthrough was a bit juggling, the effect was very good, and the ball flew directly into the goal, three to zero!

After the goal, Xiao Qing ran wildly at Fratton Park, he completed a hat-trick, he completed his first hat-trick of 2010, he helped the team get a perfect start, he helped himself to achieve a fairly strong performance in the new year! (To be continued......)
