song of the saints

Chapter 49 Highbury's Sliding Kneel
After the goal, the Southampton fans can finally sing and laugh like they did at the beginning, and they are even looking forward to the result of victory.The players of the Southampton team also hugged tightly to celebrate the equalizer.The members of Arsenal, the team of the strong, looked confused and disappointed. They just paid the price for their carelessness.

Standing on the sidelines, Wenger looked at the brave and invincible Southampton players who seemed to have never flinched, feeling deeply in his heart that this game was a bad one.

Chen Zhun was not too excited about this goal, because he knew it was the result of the hard work of the players, and he firmly believed that this was not the final score, and Southampton would win.

After Arsenal was quickly equalized, it seemed that the souls of all the players had been taken away. They could not concentrate on the field, and they would lose the ball if they passed more than three feet.Such a collapsed mentality caused Arsenal's situation on the field to plummet, and Southampton took the initiative on the field instead.

Wenger also played the last trump card at this time, replacing the mediocre right forward Frederick Ljungberg with the 21-year-old Robin van Persie.This substitution is exactly the same as that of Pires, and he also wants to use the new players to take advantage of his physical strength and speed to make a fuss on the wing.

Seeing Van Persie playing this time, Chen Zhun immediately called Delap and left midfielder Prudden to him and told them to guard against Van Persie, and to show him some color as soon as he got the ball, and not to let him easily break through or Divide the ball.Van Persie, this is a player that Arsenal fans love to hate.The "General Fan" who once made great achievements for Arsenal is also a traitor who transferred to Manchester United for his so-called ideals.Chen Zhun doesn't know if Arsenal has the captain's spell. From now on, Vieira, Henry, Van Persie, and Cesc Fabregas have left Arsenal's captains one by one year after year. Arsenal are facing high transfer fees. There is no power in front of them to keep them.

Back to the game scene, there are still 10 minutes left in the game.Just as Chen Zhun expected, Van Persie received special treatment from the Southampton players after playing.As soon as he got the ball, two or three players would double-team him. At that time, Van Persie was not as comfortable as he was on the court a few years later.Van Persie also transferred from the Eredivisie Feyenoord this summer. He has not fully adapted to the fierce competition in the Premier League.

Martin Taylor said: "Arsenal Lauren Emmetta has the ball at the back and he gives the ball to Robin van Persie up front. The teenager hasn't shown his quality in the first 10 minutes since he came on. Ability, he has always been outside the Arsenal system, and he was always intercepted by the Southampton players after he got the ball. Oh! This time he was intercepted again!! It was John Delap and David again -Plutton's Heliwei steals the ball. Robin van Persie fell to the ground in pain, but the referee Mesias did not say anything, which shows that the steal just now was not a foul. David Prutton pushed the ball halfway Immediately after the field, a pass was sent across the whole field, and the ball accurately found Fabrice Fernandez on the right. Fabrice Fernandez should be the most active player of the Southampton team in this game. His Off-the-ball running and breakthroughs have caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal's defense. Ashley Cole is watching Fabrice Fernandez. Today Ashley Cole did not play his role as England's No. [-] The strength of the left back. Ashley Cole went forward to press this time and was easily passed by Fabrice Fernandez! This time Ashley Cole pressed too hard and lost his position. Fabrice Fernandez In the box! Ready to pass to the six yards! Ashley Cole is chasing behind! Fabrice Fernandez is down!!"

"Look at how the referee Mesias awarded the ball! Penalty! Mesias pointed his finger at the penalty spot! Ashley Cole pulled Fabrice Fernandez behind his back! This penalty is undoubtedly accurate! Ashley Cole has regret written all over his face." Martin Taylor explained the sudden situation.

At this time, Fabrice Fernandez, who fell to the ground, excitedly blew the lawn with his hands.Chen Zhun's hands were trembling at this moment, and he was looking forward to the moment of scoring.Also trembling was Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger not far away.It's just that the mood of the two of them is the same as the sky and the earth.

"Southampton striker Kevin Phillips takes the penalty. Kevin Phillips runs up, pauses, hits goal and it goes in! Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann goes the wrong way !! Southampton miraculously overtook the score in the 85th minute of the game!! What a twists and turns!!" Martin Taylor couldn't help feeling a little excited when he talked about this.

Chen Zhun saw Kevin Phillips steadily sending the ball into Arsenal's goal, he could no longer restrain his emotions, jumped up excitedly from the coach's bench, and rushed out of the coach's command area , ran along the lawn in front of the coach's command area, towards the lawn towards the Arsenal goal, suddenly knelt down on both knees, and with the inertia of running, made a move in front of [-] fans at Highbury Stadium Sliding and kneeling celebration.But Chen Zhun didn't hold on to his kneeling motion at the end, and knocked down the line judge beside him. Chen Zhun helped the line judge up with some embarrassment.Although this action belonged to Mourinho in his previous life, today Chen Zhun is embarrassed to use it first.Seeing Chen Zhun's domineering celebration, the Southampton players on the field couldn't help feeling that their head coach was also a man of temperament.

The Highbury Stadium, which was bustling just now, is now dead silent.

Martin Taylor also smiled when he saw the head coach of Southampton make such a domineering move and said: "David Winston's move finally hit the linesman. If Arsenal protested in this situation, it would be a big deal." David Winston is likely to be sanctioned by the FA."

At this time, Chen Zhun only had victory in his mind. Although the game was not over yet, Chen Zhun had firmly held this victory in his hands.He knew that such a provocative action would bring him some punishment, but he didn't regret it.He just wants to tell the world in this way that Southampton will be a part of European football that cannot be ignored in the future.

After returning to the bench, Chen Zhun received a verbal warning from the referee, which was already the lightest penalty.

The last 5 minutes of the game became the only time for Arsenal to redeem. They besieged the Southampton penalty area, but all Southampton players shrank and swung the bus.

Chen Zhun waited for the final whistle from the referee Mesias at the last moment.

In the 94th minute, Mesias glanced at his watch and finally blew the whistle in his mouth.A soul-stirring, twists and turns game is finally over.When Chen Zhun heard the whistle of Mesias' end, he rushed into the field with a whoosh, and celebrated wantonly with his players, as if they were as happy as winning the championship after the game.Some fans will feel sorry for Southampton because they beat Arsenal and think they have got everything. If Chen Zhun hears these responses, he will reply fiercely, try to win once!We are winners and we have a right to celebrate.
