Chapter 70 Be Careful
Arsenal's opponent in the 21st round of the league is Birmingham, a team that has brought many bad memories to Arsenal; especially at Birmingham's home court St Andrews Stadium, which is an away game that Arsenal hates extremely.
Brutal collision + long pass and rush, this is the symbol of Birmingham. They performed even more like fish in the Premier League with a tough style, or they are no longer just being tough, but also causing a lot of harm to other teams and players. Arsenal is naturally deeply affected. Although Arsenal's strength must have an absolute advantage, Arsenal may not be able to gain much advantage in Birmingham, because facing these barbaric guys, Arsenal players really need to be careful.
Two seasons ago, Arsenal was tied by opponents at St Andrews Stadium, especially the famous draw in February 2008, which has been a permanent pain in the hearts of Gunners fans. There were too many accidents that were unfavorable to Arsenal in this cursed game - Eduardo was tackled by Martin Taylor; Gala abandoned the team before the end of the game and shed tears alone; McFadden was rewarded with a false penalty in the fourth minute of stoppage time and equalized the score.
Of course, Xiao Qing really wanted to teach these guys a good lesson. In the first half of this season, Arsenal defeated Birmingham at home, but the Gunners were not satisfied. They still had to defeat Birmingham again in the second half of the game. Birmingham now has four wins, ten draws and seven losses, and Birmingham has actually failed to get out of the relegation zone; Arsenal naturally doesn't care about sending the opponent into the relegation zone, and they are even happy to do so.
So in this game, the Arsenal players were all trying to teach Birmingham a lesson. For Xiao Qing, he was eager to win the first victory in 2011. He wanted to win a victory to celebrate himself with a victory after being crowned the Golden Globe Awards. So Xiao Qing will work very hard, and Xiao Qing will help the team fight for the victory of this game with all his might.
For Arsenal, they need more victory now and they need to expand their lead in the league. Although Arsenal is close to the league championship, they have not won the championship yet. They still need to continue to work hard.
In this game, Wenger sent all the main lineups, including Xiao Qing, captain Fabregas, midfielder Song, Nasri, Van Persie and Walcott in the frontcourt all returned to the starting lineup.
Goalkeeper Fabianski; Sania, Koscheerny, Julu, and Klich on the back line; midfielder Song, attacking Fabregas, Walcott, Nasri; double strikers Xiao Qing and Van Persie,
Birmingham goalkeeper Foster; Carl, Ritchville, Johnson, and Dane on the back line; midfielder Barry Ferguson, Gardner, Larson, Bosejo, and Bowyer; single forward Cameron Jerome.
Although Martin Taylor, who had done evil now, has already left Birmingham, the Arsenal players will not forget the painful memory of that time; although Eduardo has left Arsenal now, the Gunners will still remember this teammate.
In the third minute, Fabregas made a straight pass, and Walcott used his speed to throw away Birmingham defender Dann, facing the cross pass of the Tigers. Xiao Qing directly scored a strong shot in the penalty area. Although Xiao Qing's shot was above the crossbar, Arsenal's high-quality attack this time still gave Birmingham a fierce and powerful move to Birmingham who was fighting at home.
Arsenal's offensive is very fierce, which really gives Birmingham a lot of defensive pressure; Birmingham, which has gathered heavy troops in the midfield, now needs more defense, and they cannot give Arsenal a chance to easily tear open the defense line and break into the frontcourt. So Birmingham's defense is very tough, because they know that they must perform more toughly in the face of Arsenal, and they must ensure that they can limit Arsenal's performance at this time.
In the eighth minute of the game, Arsenal concedes the ball in the midfield; Birmingham wants to counterattack quickly, but Arsenal, who switches offense and defense, does not give them more opportunities, and Arsenal instantly starts to counterattack. Birmingham defender Johnson, who dribbles the ball, moves very well. He does not control the ball well, and the ball is stabbed away from Johnson's feet.
But when Arsenal captain Fabregas was about to take the ball, the Birmingham defender slid directly; the two collided with each other, and more importantly, Johnson had no intention of turning back at all, and the nail he showed directly shoveled on Fabregas' ankle!
This is a very dangerous action. Martin Taylor two years ago made this move to tackle Eduardo's ankle. Now Johnson once again treats Arsenal with this very immoral action. But this time Fabregas is lucky, at least he did not encounter a nightmare like a broken leg for the players.
Johnson's action completely angered the Arsenal players. Seeing Fabregas holding his ankle in pain, the Arsenal players rushed forward. Just as the referee rushed over, Xiao Qing was faster; although Xiao Qing had an average relationship with Fabregas, he would never allow his teammates to encounter such rough defense.
Johnson seemed to know that such actions must not escape the referee's warning. After he got up, he wanted to walk away without even looking at the painful Fabregas. But at this time, just as Johnson turned around, he regretted it.
"**!" Xiao Qing pushed Johnson down heavily, and even the players on both sides had not reacted yet, but Xiao Qing, who pushed Johnson down, rushed over once, "Shit, come and have a fight. I will beat you up so that your mother can't recognize you!"
There was a booing sound at St Andrews Stadium because they saw the fierce Xiao Qing sitting directly on Johnson at this time. Xiao Qing raised his fist fiercely and beat Johnson. Xiao Qing didn't care about anything that could be banned. The angry Xiao Qing didn't care about anything else now. Now he just wanted to beat this hateful guy up.
Johnson was obviously stunned by Xiao Qing, and he didn't even react much, but he was already pushed down on the grass by Xiao Qing, and then the angry Xiao Qing sat on him; Xiao Qing pressed Johnson's face with his hand, and Xiao Qing now completely wanted to press Johnson into the grass and bury him.
Although Johnson was struggling, although he was 1.9 meters tall, Xiao Qing's power was also very strong. More importantly, Xiao Qing's sneak attack made Johnson unable to react at all. So now Johnson wants to try his best to get rid of Xiao Qing, but he is still pressed on the grass by Xiao Qing in pain.
"Xiao, calm down!" The Arsenal players who reacted immediately hugged Xiao Qing and pulled him away. Xiao Qing's inspiration of conflict on the field would definitely cause heavy punishments.
Although Xiao Qing was pulled away by his teammates, the Birmingham players stopped doing it because they were very unhappy that their teammates were bullied, especially because this was their home court. Xiao Qing was so arrogant at St Andrews Stadium, and Xiao Qing acted like he wanted to beat their teammates in front of the Birmingham players, so arrogant and arrogant, which really completely angered the Birmingham players.
So the players of the two teams were crowded together, pushing and shoving, and they kept shouting and scolding; especially Xiao Qing, who was on the target of public criticism, at this time, the players in Birmingham wanted to rush over to beat Xiao Qing. Although Xiao Qing was protected behind his teammates, this was not Xiao Qing's style. Although he knew that he would definitely make Birmingham players crazy now, Xiao Qing still rushed in front and pushed and shoved Birmingham players. It was not Xiao Qing's style to hide, and Xiao Qing was not afraid of fighting!
The referee is trying hard to pull out the players of the two teams that have broken through the conflict. This game is definitely not good news. This game will definitely attract crazy attention after the game. Especially when Xiao Qing just joined the Golden Globe Awards, Xiao Qing is now the focus of attention of the media and fans.
Birmingham is also aware of his own suffering. Although this conflict was escalated by Xiao Qing, and although the culprit Johnson was taught a lesson by Xiao Qing, the media may not necessarily have any sympathy for Birmingham after the game. Birmingham's play style is rather rough, not news, especially since it was based on Fabregas's rude foul.
Arsenal had already suffered a painful broken leg at St Andrews Stadium, and at this time Johnson almost ruined Arsenal's general once, which would definitely cause criticism after the game.
Xiao Qing was sent off with a red card without any objection, because Xiao Qing rushed up and attacked directly, because Xiao Qing completely inspired this conflict. Johnson was not much better, and that rough defense also caused him to encounter a red card. Perhaps this action could only be resolved by a yellow card, but the conflict became more and more intense. It was difficult for Johnson to escape the extreme punishment because he needed to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, because his actions were already bad.
The referee's two consecutive red cards and several yellow cards resolved the conflict this time; although at this time at St Andrews Stadium, Xiao Qing looked at the Birmingham fans booing in the stands with his head high. Xiao Qing was completely arrogant and did not have much favor to these fans. When he came to this away game last season, they even sang and mocked Eduardo with broken legs.
