Chapter 399: Keep Going!
The first half of the year ended with Arsenal 2-0 and 75 per cent possession, a result that was expected by everyone before the game, but they still did not expect Arsenal to lay such a big foundation in the first five minutes.
The second half started quickly, with Arsene Wenger making no substitutions as always.
After 15 minutes of half-time, the head coach also arranged some targeted tactics. But these tactics did not come in handy.
Just three minutes into the second half, Arsenal attacked the front of the opponent's penalty area, and Wilshere picked up a high ball on the edge of the penalty area.
However, it was not for Bendtner, Arsenal's only centre-forward, as Flamini cut in at high speed at the back and jumped before the opposition could react.
The veteran French midfielder's header was almost unattended and unattended, and his wealth of experience made him very good at where the ball landed and when he could jump forward.
The ball flew fast and fast towards the opposition goal, and the Coventry goalkeeper was tragic again. He couldn't get the ball on the back of his game, allowing it to fly into his own shot for the third time.
Less than fifty minutes, three to zero!! There was almost no suspense in this game, and Arsenal dominated the whole game, both in terms of the score and the shape of the field.
By the 60th minute of the game, some neutral fans had already started to leave the stadium one after another, apparently feeling that it was a waste of time to watch any further.
At this time, Arsene Wenger also started the regular substitutions, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain and the newly scored Flamini were replaced, and some young players from the second team were replaced.
Wilshere's table was pretty good in this game, and in addition to scoring goals and assists, he also instigated several wonderful attacks. It looks like the small threat has recovered from the shadow of injury, which is undoubtedly good news for Arsenal, of course, playing a team like Coventry City does not tell the whole story, Wilshere still needs to wait for the league test.
And the new loan veteran Karlström is also playing for Arsenal for the first time and has achieved a good performance. Although he didn't score, he had an assist and a good performance on the ball, which was one of the big takeaways for Arsenal.
And when the whole game entered injury time, Arsenal's regular center forward Bendtner, who had never had a chance, was finally "open".
Gnabry's series of breakthroughs on the touchline left the Coventry players in agony that the defender, who already had four yellow cards, would not dare to foul the wide man at will.
Gnabry, on the other hand, watched as the opposition defence shifted towards his side, and a clever backheel sent the ball out of the encirclement that surrounded him in Coventry.
Spanish fullback Monreal met the ball and crossed directly to the sideline at an angle of 45 degrees, and Danish center forward Bendtner in the middle penalty area grabbed the point and successfully pressed the opponent to jump.
The 1.9-meter-tall Danish centre-forward took advantage of the penalty area and then flicked his head at the ball, which flew high over the hands of the saving goalkeeper. The game flew into the gates of Coventry for the fourth time.
Of course, this goal is also related to Coventry's own defensive leakage, because there is only one minute of injury time, just when Coventry thought that the game was over and could leave this sad place after the last ten seconds, Arsenal's youngsters seized the last ten seconds.
Although many of Arsenal's players in this game are young second-tier players, they are far from the main first-team players in terms of strength. But young players have the advantage of young players, and that is the ferocity of momentum.
Everyone knows that there is a shortage of people in the Arsenal first team, of course, we must take a good look at it and strive to get into the eyes of manager Arsene Wenger and report to the first team. Then I have a chance to play a few league games, so if I do a good job, maybe I will become famous from now on.
So it's not just Coventry, the Arsenal players are actually holding their breath, but obviously these second-tier players are more energetic.
In the end, thanks to goals from Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini and Bendtner, Arsenal slaughtered League One side Coventry 4-0 at home and successfully advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup!
In this game, Li Zihan dressed up in disguise and sat in the fan stands with Susan, Susu and Yiyi to watch the game. The so-called disguise is actually just wearing a sweatshirt with a hat, covering your head, and then bringing up a large sunglasses.
Li Zihan, who thought that no one recognized him, was quite proud, but how did he know that the broadcaster director with bright eyes had already given him several close-ups. Especially when Arsenal wasted an opportunity, or couldn't score for a long time, the director swept the camera to him.
Because of the good position, Li Zihan, who had been paying attention to the court, did not notice that his face had appeared on the screen on the scene several times.
It was only when the fans around him exclaimed and kept looking at him that he realized that something was wrong.
Now that he was recognized, Li Zihan also took off his hat generously, but he was still wearing sunglasses.
The fans around him greeted Li Zihan in a friendly manner, and some fans handed over their jerseys and asked for autographs, and Li Zihan was satisfied one by one. Fortunately, this is in the UK, if this is placed in China, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Li Zihan and his party of four to go back "alive".
It's not a matter of plain zhì, it's not uncommon to see these famous players in restaurants and on the streets when it's not match day in London, so it's no surprise. And they are quite protective of their personal time, knowing that now is Li Zihan's time to rest, so they didn't bother him too much.
As everyone knows, during that period of time, their stands attracted more attention than the games on the field.
Fortunately, there are no reporters in the stands in this piece, otherwise watching Li Zihan with 2.5 big beauties, he would have to "tirelessly" "ask if he doesn't understand".
Oh, that's the bear kid Susu
Li Zihan didn't stay on the court for long, and after watching everyone recognize him, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he left the stands in the 60th minute of the game. At this time, it was already 3-0 on the field, and even Wilshere and others were replaced. Li Zihan also knew that the next game was no longer meaningful, and he had to "slip away" before the media reporters reacted!
