Chapter 119 Fragmented

"CCTV, CCTV..."

When the classic opening remarks sounded, the two teams had already gone through the whole process of warm-up and then the entry, and the captains of both sides Liu Feng and Hangland were already standing in front of the referee.

"Oh~ Hangland won the captain's rock-scissors and he chose the kick-off for the team."

After Liu Jianhong finished his long list of words, Zhan Jun quickly followed the explanation of the situation on the court: "The ball was placed on the serving point, and Berbatov and Sidwell stood in front of the ball."

Berbatov is no longer as magical as Manchester United back then. Time makes people grow old. After all, Ferguson, who used him extremely heavily back then, has announced his retirement.

However, for Fulham, who needs to relegation, he is still the best choice for the team's forward line. The forward still maintains a good goal rate and can bring a lot of changes to the team's offense.

On the court, the players of both sides have quickly stood in their respective positions, but the morale status of the players of both sides looking at each other through the midfield is completely different.

“嘘~嘘!!!”

The whistle sounded the next moment and the game officially began.

"Berbatov launched the ball, and Fulham began to control the ball in his own half. In this game, they didn't dare to rush to form a 451 formation."

Berbatov has a single arrow in front, behind him are five midfielders, Sidwell and Parker are on the wing, while the middle trio is Dempsey, Duff and Tarabut.

In terms of four defenders, Fulham coach Brad also chose the team's absolute main player this season, with Reed and Reese two full-backs, left and right, captain Hanglanderson Deros partnered with two central defenders, and Stockdall served as the goalkeeper.

Such a starting lineup is thanks to Zhan Jun's famous Premier League masters. He introduced these players to the players one by one, and kept revealing their achievements and teams they have played for.

But in the final analysis, the entire Fulham team has no star flavor except Berbatov. All the players are regular users of the relegation team, and everything is to stay in the top league.

After the game started, Fulham's performance was also pragmatic and terrible. After they passed the ball to their own half, they really had no intention of attacking.

Arsenal players responded carefully for a while and found that the opponent had no intention of attacking at all, so they made a statement that 433 was not going to play defensive tactics and advanced without hesitation.

"Liu Feng led Chamberlain and Walcott to kill each other through the half. The three of them pressed very fiercely and successfully disrupted Fulham's possession."

Facing three forwards who were not fast at all, the Fulham midfielder, who had no specialties in ball control, quickly couldn't stand it. Five minutes after the game, they had to give the ball to the wing and start pushing forward.

After all, after halfway through, their transmission range will be wider.

"Sidville took the ball on the left and he didn't push forward at a very fast speed, which allowed Granero to come to him quickly, and the two of them were in contact with each other."

Granero, who has always been a little thin, has found a bully this time. I don’t know if it’s because of nervousness or really bad condition, Sidwell’s stuttering ball quickly gave Granero a chance.

"It's intercepted the ball! I took the time and dunked the ball over, and Granero took the ball."

The ball changed hands, and Arsenal's offense began. Granero directly gave the ball before Sidwell, who conceded the ball, grabbed it.

He did not choose to pass long because although Fulham began to broaden the forward ball control range through the wing, their overall defensive formation was not aggressive at all.

This means that the Gunners must continue to pass on the tough situation to break the opponent's super bus.

As it turns out, this is a very difficult thing.

The Gunners' possession time begins when the ball comes to Rossiki's feet.

They kept their possession rate at an outrageous 9-1 in the next thirty minutes. It can be said that after the start of this game, everything Fulham did was passively beaten.

Logically speaking, with such a ball possession rate, the Gunners have already taken the absolute initiative and should score a goal.

Unfortunately, the actual situation is that Fulham has done the operation of spreading the threat area and whoever enters the threat area will die.

After several attacks by the Gunners entered the opponent's midfield hinterland, they were extremely tragic. Yes, it was tragic, because when the game came forty minutes, Fulham had already received four yellow cards.

Among them, two yellow cards were eaten by the visiting team's bad fouls against Liu Feng. The fans clearly saw through the camera that the green and black on Liu Feng's body were from the clean edge.

In the end, Arsenal even became a little timid. Although they set up a 433 formation, they also began to play the game conservatively.

Everyone knows that this is a huge showdown, so it is really not worth it to be injured in such a showdown.

So, when time continued to move, and when forty-five minutes and the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, people were surprised to realize that Fulham had accomplished the achievement of not losing the ball in the Emirates Stadium.

"Arsenal's offense was restricted by Fulham's bus, and this game was shattered by the visiting team's foul tactics."

No one was happy except for Fulham players and fans. Whether it was the fans in front of the TV or the gun fans booing in the stands, they were all a little mentally broken by the outrageous game scene.

Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun's emotions were similar to everyone. At first, they were enthusiastic about the confrontation between the two sides, but after they found that as long as the Gunners' offense began to threaten directly, Fulham would stop directly with a foul, and they gradually became speechless.

"They have already received four yellow cards. It is impossible for them to continue playing in the second half. Otherwise, they will still lack the number of people and their bus tactics will collapse directly."

When the halftime break came, Liu Jianhong could only use this ending to comfort the fans, but this was also what he said in his heart: "In the second half of the game, Arsenal will inevitably seek more ways to break the deadlock, let us look forward to the subsequent games."

At 0-0 in the first half, Arsenal, exhausted by his opponent's foul and Fulham, exhausted by various fouls, both returned to the locker room. The head coaches on both sides had different expressions and obviously had their own ideas in their hearts.

The fans in the stands and the fans in front of the TV all took a short break and started this not long halftime break in their own way.
