Chapter 543 : Wasted opportunities will be punished
The first half of the game between the two sides ended with Arsenal leading 15-[-], and the two teams entered stoppage time.In the [-] minutes of the intermission, most commentators believed that Arsenal would win the game. The facts tell everyone that Arsenal is very good at playing downwind.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half.

"The second half of the game between the two sides has begun. Arsenal is determined to win this game, and the huge disparity in strength between Hull City and Arsenal is difficult to achieve!"

"Both sides made substitutions and adjustments after the intermission. For Hull City, the old Bruce first replaced the central defender Chester, who did not perform well in the first half. Chester played for Hull City this season. Played [-] games and scored one goal, but obviously he is not in shape today. He was replaced by Alex Bruce, the son of the old Bruce. of."

"Arsenal also made substitutions, and they still changed two people in a row. Forward Li Zihan, who made a pass for Arsenal in the first half, was replaced. The young center Sano, who also joined Arsenal this season, came off the bench. Ge Wenger's substitution seems to be to preserve his strength for another final a few days later, and it is also to give young people more opportunities. After all, Arsenal still have Giroud and Bendtner in this position. .”

"Arsenal's second substitution came from the midfielder. Arsenal's midfielder Ramsey was replaced. This substitution was also out of the idea of ​​​​preserving strength. The substitute came on the bench. Arsenal vice-captain Arteta, This should also be regarded as strengthening the defense, because the forward in this game is Wilshere, and Arsenal's midfield interception ability must be relatively average in defense, so now that they are leading, Arsenal can also play more steadily. "

Because of Ozil's joining, Wilshere's position is more awkward. Most of the middle position of the front midfielder is occupied by the German midfielder. After all, this is what Ozil is best at and can give full play to his advantages. Perfect location.Therefore, in the middle position, Wilshere can only serve as a central midfielder, or occasionally play a cameo as a full-back.Unless Ozil is injured or rotated, he will have the opportunity to go to the front midfielder, but in this game, Ozil's truce as the front midfielder is indeed the veteran Rosicky, and Wilshere is still a central midfielder.

Although there is no fixed position, Wilshere did not have any conflicts. As an excellent young player produced by Arsenal's youth training, he is still very loyal to Arsenal and Wenger. When he was interviewed by the media, he was very loyal to Ozil After coming, he himself may not have a fixed position. He said that he can play multiple positions, such as full-back, attacking midfielder, winger, and central midfielder. If the team and Wenger need it, he can even play as a defensive midfielder.
This midfielder is not an intercepting and defensive midfielder, but a playmaker-type midfielder like Pirlo, or an offensive midfielder like Lampard and Gerrard.
After the game restarted, Arsenal was still not arrogant or impetuous. They had no reason to be anxious because of their lead. Anyway, they would attack if they had the opportunity, and control the ball at their feet if they had no chance.

Five minutes after the start of the second half, Hull City coach Old Bruce once again made substitution adjustments.

No. 21 Heldstone, who had been guarding against Li Zihan, was replaced, and No. [-] forward Sean Long played.

"Hull City made adjustments again, because Li Zihan has already left the field, so Heldstone's defensive task does not exist. In addition, the England midfielder's temper was not very good during the game, and there was a yellow card. Yes, so the old Bruce replaced him. The forward Sean Long came up. It seems that Hull City wants to strengthen the offense. And Sean Long is a guerrilla striker in the frontcourt. His speed is fast. At the same time, he is good at pressing the frontcourt and actively running and counterattacking. After Li Zihan left the field, the old Bruce seemed to want to fight Arsenal. I don’t know if such a substitution can bring some changes to Hull City. .”

Hull City's substitutions did not appear to have changed significantly in a short period of time, but Arsenal's substitutions changed significantly, but this is obviously a bit embarrassing.

In the opening 10 minutes of the second half, Arsenal still got a lot of opportunities.Although there is no Ozil, the abilities of Rosicky and Wilshere are very good.He has a hand in passing assists, and there is Cazorla who has performed well this season. It is impossible for Hull City to completely freeze Arsenal's offense.

In the 408th minute of the game, Wilshere found Sanogo's head with a long pass, but the latter pushed the ball high under the interference of the opponent's central defender Bruce.

In [-] minutes, Arsenal made various passes and cuts at the front of Hull City's penalty area.After Cazorla cut in from the side, he made a fake move to directly hit the goal, and then crossed the ball to the middle. Rosicky raised his foot and did not catch the ball, but swung his foot from above the rolling ball—— Flip the ball!
After receiving the ball, Wilshere, who was following up, made a fake move to cut into the penalty area with the ball, shook his defensive midfielder, and then pushed the ball straight to Sanogo in the penalty area.After receiving the ball, Sanogo stopped the ball first, then looked at the goalkeeper McGregor's position in the small penalty area, and finally hit the goal.

It's just that at this time, a series of passes for Arsenal to cooperate with the swaying central defender Davis has come over to make up for it again, and directly blocked Sanogo's shot with his thigh.Later, Cazorla's corner kick was topped by Modesat, which completely ended the attack.

This is not over yet. After 2 minutes, Sanogo took the ball in the frontcourt. Cazorla got rid of the opponent's full-back and inserted in. The black French center did not decisively allocate the ball to Cazorla. He came to take the ball by himself, but was stuck in the position by the new central defender Bruce.After the breakthrough failed, Sanogo thought of Cazorla, who was cutting in from the sideline, and passed the ball immediately, but it was too late. Another central defender, Davis, had already come up from behind, grabbing a big kick before Cazorla. The ball was blocked out.

Cazorla, who hadn't received the ball, jumped up while running fast——pissed off!

Cazorla spread his hands and pointed to the position in front of him. The meaning was obvious-why didn't he pass the ball in front of me earlier?
Sanogo knew that this was his own problem, and he made an apologetic gesture to Cazorla.

Cazorla shook his head helplessly, then retreated.

"Sanogo, how many opportunities has Sanogo wasted? The young French center is wantonly wasting Arsenal's offensive opportunities. If these opportunities are given to Li, even Giroud or Bendtner There should be at least one goal or one assist on him.”

The director of Sky Sports, who was in charge of the broadcast, was also very interesting. He scanned the camera one by one over Arsenal's bench, and paused for a while on the faces of Li Zihan, Giroud and Bendtner.

Li Zihan and Giroud looked regretful, while Bendtner seemed to be glaring at Sanogo angrily.

There is a saying on the court: wasted opportunities will be punished!
And this sentence soon came true for Arsenal.

Substitute striker Sean Long grabbed the ball from Sanogo directly in a possession of Arsenal. The cooperation between Sanogo and the frontcourt players is obviously a bit rusty, especially his ball protection. Confidence, once encountering the opponent's pressing, I feel a little flustered.

This time Sean Long successfully snatched the ball from Sanogo and passed it to strike partner Jelavic.The Croatian striker did not rush forward either. After receiving the ball, he saw Sean Lang's running position, and then passed the ball to the opponent's front with a tacit understanding.

Sean Lang quickly ran towards the ball. The ball was lost by Sanogo. In order to make up for it, he tried his best to chase it back and wanted to help the team defend, especially to prevent the opponent from getting the ball.

"Sanogo's possession was cut off by Sean Long and then Hull City immediately launched a quick counter-attack and it was a Tiger's chance."

"Sanogo. Are you sure you're not here as an undercover agent?"

The speed of the big center forward is not fast, at least compared to Sean Lang, Sanogo's speed can't keep up, but he wins because of his long legs.

You must not let the opponent get the ball, otherwise it will be a one-handed counterattack
With this idea in mind, Sanogo directly shoveled diagonally towards Sean Long who was about to catch the ball, and Sanogo came with a scissor kick.
Sean Long, who didn't notice, was directly brought down to the ground. The referee immediately blew his whistle, and then signaled for Arsenal to foul. Hull City won a direct free kick in the front court and showed the fouled Sanogo Yellow card.

Sanogo didn't justify himself, and made a gesture of apology to the teammates around him-this is the first gesture of apology he has made since he came off the bench.

"Sanogo used a foul to block a very threatening counterattack by Hull City, but he lost the ball, so this can only be regarded as making up for it. Sanogo's performance. How did he gain a foothold in Ligue [-] before?"

The commentator no longer wants to complain about Sanogo, because it is meaningless, this guy is too cheating. No, he is too cheating on Arsenal.

"I now finally understand why Wenger let him play so few opportunities," Hull House said sarcastically.

Hull City is also very sorry that this counterattack was not successful, but time and opportunities do not allow them to have regrets, and they will continue to participate in the game soon. Although Sanogo has cheated Arsenal, they are still behind It's Hull.
