Chapter 1062: Carnival of Birmingham people

"Fuck!"

Wilshere, who shot the ball, was holding his head in annoyance as he watched his shot being pulled out of the crossbar by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Rosicky and Liu Feng who were beside him also expressed their regret that the good kick failed to score.

However, when the team won a corner kick, everyone didn't have much time to worry about a ball that was not born.

When Rosicky ran to the right corner flag to prepare for the corner kick, several good headers of the Gunners had already broken into the penalty area.

It's a pity that Arsenal, who are not good at set-piece attacks, were not able to gain an advantage in the subsequent corner kick attack.

Compared with the gunners who can play well in conventional offenses, McLeish's Birmingham obviously put a lot of hard work on it.

When Rosicky kicked the ball into the penalty area, Liu Feng, who jumped high, failed to reach the ball. Defender Richwell made a header to clear the ball and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Afterwards, Gardner, who had withdrawn, kicked the ball out with a big kick, regardless of whether the pass was passed to his own players, the clearance was indeed done.

Koscielny, who controlled the ball near the midfield, did not rush forward to launch the team's attack again. He waited for his teammates to pull back a little before giving the ball to Nasri on the left.

After Nasri and Wilshere and Rosicky in the middle pass again, the game has entered into anxiety again.

Birmingham, who were frightened by Arsenal's counterattack, played very cautiously in the next ten minutes. It was too easy for them to put the bus when they wanted to defend in the 451 formation.

The Gunners did not achieve any results in the positional battle in a short period of time. The ball was given to Liu Feng time and time again. Liu Feng, who kept breaking through and running for his teammates, became the focus of the audience.

In terms of offense, the performance of the new Carlos Vela can only be said to be qualified. After receiving a double pass from Liu Feng, he failed to hit the goal due to the interference of defensive players.

At the end, Liu Feng could only choose to cooperate with Bendtner to make a short pass and try to break into the penalty area with the ball, but all of them were blocked one by one by the Birmingham players who were waiting.

For a while, the two teams changed from fierce offense and defense to a strong position, and the scene was not dull.

In the 605th minute of the game, McLeish chose to make a substitution. He replaced Derby Sher, who hadn't appeared on the court for a long time, with striker Zikic.

With the team no longer relying too much on sports warfare, McLeish has his own clear thinking.

As a high center forward, Zikic's header ability is one of the best in the team. When he replaced Zikic, he gave the team instructions to make set-pieces as much as possible.

Since Arshavin had already used up one of his substitute spots, Wenger, who was worried about the possibility of overtime when the team was unable to attack for a long time, did not follow McLeish to make substitutions.

The match between the two sides continued, and the scene of Arsenal besieging Birmingham continued.

In this way, the game came to seven 10 minutes.

"Facing the siege of three opponents, A Feng gave the ball to Bella on one side. Hey, he didn't hold the ball firmly, and Carl broke the ball directly!"

With the full-back kicking the ball into midfield, Birmingham began their rare counterattack since entering the second half.

"Lee Bowyer in midfield took the ball and pushed all the way, Wilshere quickly chased back, the distance between the two began to close, and the ball was passed to Hleb on the left."

If you can't run, then pass. Birmingham's attacking idea is simple and effective. Hleb, who got the ball, faced Sagna's defense without ink marks. After confronting the opponent for a while, he passed the ball again.

"Zikic got the ball in the frontcourt. Gardner on his right was approaching quickly. Oh~, he didn't pass the ball and went straight in. Koscielny quickly attacked and intercepted."

Zikic's choice was a bit too deadly. Although he finally managed to barely enter the penalty area along the line on the left side of the penalty area, Koscielny's close defense has made him lose the chance to shoot.

So, at the next moment, he chose to forcefully hit the door.

"Oh!"

"It's not a wise choice to kick directly. The ball hit Koscielny's blocked left foot and flew out of bounds. Birmingham won a corner kick."

Liu Jianhong shook his head when he saw Birmingham's attack ended like this. In his opinion, it is very difficult to break through the Gunners' door in this way.

However, on the field, when the referee signaled that Birmingham had won a corner, their players seemed quite excited.

With four or five big guys rushing up, and two midfielders wandering outside the penalty area, Birmingham was well prepared for this set-piece attack.

On Arsenal's side, except for the four defenders, most of the players who came back to participate in this defense except Wilshere were players with average confrontation ability.

Wenger's strong personal style still brought some problems to the team to a certain extent.

There was no time to think about this. When the referee blew his whistle, Gardner, who was standing in the corner flag area, had already kicked the ball away.

"The ball made an arc, and the ball flew directly to the small penalty area. Koscielny missed the ball, Zikic, he completely overwhelmed Squillac!!!"

"Oh!"

Jumping high and pushing out with all his strength, with such a short distance, when Zikic hit the ball hard, Szczesny didn't even have time to react.

"Shh!"

The ball hit the net like this, the Gunners players were dumbfounded, but the Birmingham players were completely crazy.

"The goal, the goal is scored~, in the 705th minute of the game, Birmingham scored another goal, and they led 2-1."

Liu Jianhong and the countless fans in front of the TV were also dumbfounded. They never thought that such an ordinary corner kick could break the Gunners' goal.

"Birmingham! Birmingham! Birmingham!"

"Hohohoho! Oh~, we are the champions! Ooooh! Hoo~, we are the champions!"

At such a time point, the Birmingham fans went completely crazy. They began to sing and dance in the stands, and the big guys in the front row even slammed the team's drums.

"Hahahaha!"

On the court, the goal hero Zikic has rushed to coach McLeish, and the excited MacLeish slapped the shoulders of the players in front of him and let out a hearty laugh.

Only 10 minutes after he replaced Zikic, the striker scored a goal, which undoubtedly proved the correctness of his arrangement.

McLeish has even begun to think about how the media will describe him after the game.

Putting those aside, looking at the pre-match Arsenal and their coach Arsene Wenger, Birmingham was once underestimated bad breath finally out.
