After the Arsenal goal was born, the Cardiff City players were all helpless. They had expected this moment to come, but when it really arrived, everyone was still a little depressed.

After all, as a newly promoted team, every point they have is extremely precious. When they know that meeting Arsenal is equivalent to not getting a three-pointer or a single point, it is fake to say that they are not sad.

When the game started again, the morale of Arsenal and Cardiff City were very obvious. The Arsenal players had an extremely sharp look in their eyes, but Cardiff City was just the desire to survive.

Fortunately, there is not much time left. After Cardiff City used the ball possession after the game restarted, there was not much time left for Arsenal to grab the ball.

In the end, in the 44th minute of the game, Liu Feng's shot was interfered by the defender and flew out of the baseline. The goalkeeper of Cardiff City once again got the ball in a while before he drove it out.

The referee did not make up for Arsenal for more time, and directly blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

So, the first half ended with Arsenal's lead with one goal. Cardiff City tried its best to maintain such a situation, and the players were panting when they walked towards the players' passage.

Compared with them, the Arsenal players were not so embarrassed. Although the opponent's bus was more stubborn than they imagined, they were still at ease.

During the halftime break, Wenger didn't say much. He didn't have much requirements for the players. It's enough to win this game steadily. It doesn't matter whether one goal or two goals leads.

"Please pay attention to the opponent's counterattack and set pieces in the second half, and try not to threaten the set pieces in the area. They mainly rely on this to get points."

"clear!"

All the remaining time was left for the team members to rest. The professor sat aside and drank water. Everyone sat in the locker room and chatted. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

The door of the locker room was knocked shortly afterwards, and a group of players followed Liu Feng and entered the stadium again.

"The good players on both sides quickly exchanged halftime, and the second half will be kicked off by Cardiff City, with their forward Campbell and Widingham standing in front of the serve point."

"Shh!!!"

With a whistle, the game started again. Cardiff City made a direct adjustment of the formation during the intermission. When the ball was passed, their formation showed up to 442.

Campbell and Widingham are both ahead as the team's forwards, while other midfielders remain unchanged.

One advantage of this adjustment is that their offense no longer looks so unthreatening. In the 50th minute of the game, Cardiff City's offense passed through the middle to the front court brought some trouble to the Gunners.

Wittingham and Campbell's two-pass pass cooperation allowed the Gunners' first line of defense, and it was not until the joint attack between Gustavo and Ramsey that they stopped all of this.

Under such circumstances, Arsenal's offense did not dare to continue to press forward so much, and they could only choose a more stable ball control strategy to control the ball at their own feet.

In this case, the stalemate between the two sides naturally became inevitable again. As the ball was continuously passed and pulled in the middle, the ball control ratio between the two sides reached an astonishing 8 to 2 when it was announced in the 70th minute of the game.

"The game is coming to 71 minutes, and the score is still 1-0. The professor made a substitution adjustment on the sidelines."

This time, the professor chose to replace the team captain Liu Feng and the midfielder Ramsey. Neither of them were replaced because of their condition and performance, but simply because the professor wanted them to rest.

So, Giroud and Wilhel came on as the substitute. Two players who had been resting for a long time off the court performed very positively after appearing, and they quickly created a threat.

This threat is not complicated. First, Wilshire finally passed on the attack in Cardiff City and broke into his midfield with a tackle.

Then, the offensive midfielder who appeared in the midfielder made a long pass and found J Ronaldo on the right side of the team with a diagonal pass. After the young player J Ronaldo took the ball, he gently passed the Jin Fujiu who rushed over.

"J Ronaldo penetrated along the side road, and Cardiff City's defense had to move with it, crossing the ball in an oblique manner forty-five degrees. Hames's footwork is still excellent."

"Swish~"

"Bang!"

This was the 75th minute of the game. When Giroud pushed the ball out on the left side of the penalty area in a fish-jumping position, Cardiff goalkeeper faced a tricky header.

When he jumped up straight and leaned back, he still couldn't touch the ball, a goal was destined to be born.

"The ball is in! The second goal of this game was scored, and Giroud came on the bench and headed the ball directly. This big center is always so trustworthy."

Looking at Giroud who was held in the middle by Arsenal players on the court, Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun were both moved. Such a high-quality player was really not visible until he was excavated by the professor. This once again proved Wenger's wisdom in knowing people.

With the birth of this goal, the suspense of this game completely disappeared. The professor directly made a third substitution, and Li Ke, who has not appeared on behalf of Arsenal for a long time, made a substitute.

The young player recently made a very important decision, and he announced his decision to withdraw from British nationality and join Chinese nationality at the end of 2013.

This purpose is actually very simple and clear. He wants to represent the Chinese team in next year's World Cup.

This is naturally very welcome by Chinese fans. After all, players who are favored by Wenger and appear on the Arsenal roster are definitely more powerful than most players of the national football team.

Li Ke, who finally waited for the opportunity to play, performed very positively. His constant running and shouting made his teammates willing to pass the ball to him, and soon he integrated into the team's midfield operation.

Although he did not score or assist when the whistle sounded in the end of the game, he still scored a passing score in the post-match score less than 20 minutes after the substitute.

“嘘~嘘!!!”

"The final whistle sounded, and the game ended. Arsenal won the first victory of 2014 with a score of 2-0. This was their first victory in the New Year and laid the foundation for them to become the half-time champion."

On the stadium, Arsenal players celebrated excitedly after the final whistle sounded. Everyone waved to their fans with laughter, and the visiting team Cardiff City left the stadium early.
Chapter completed!
