Chapter 1969 First Victory of the New Year
After Arsenal's goal was born, the Cardiff City players were a little helpless. They had expected this moment to come, but when it really came, everyone was still a little frustrated.

After all, as a newly promoted team, every point they have is extremely precious. When you know in your heart that you will not get three points or one point when you meet Arsenal, it would be a lie to say that you are not sad.

When the game restarted, the morale of the Arsenal team and the morale of Cardiff City were extremely contrasting. The players of the Arsenal team had incomparably sharp eyes, but Cardiff City was just a desire to survive.

Fortunately, there was not much time left. After Cardiff City took advantage of the possession of the ball after the restart of the game to control the ball for a period of time, there was not much time left to attack after Arsenal grabbed the ball.

In the end, in the 404th minute of the game, Liu Feng's shot hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line under the interference of the defender. The goalkeeper of Cardiff City took the ball again after the ball was stained with ink for a while before taking the ball away.

The referee didn't give Arsenal more time, and directly blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

As a result, the first half of the game ended with Arsenal leading by one goal. Cardiff City tried their best just to maintain such a situation. All the players were panting when they walked towards the player tunnel.

Compared with them, the players of the Arsenal team were not so embarrassed. Although the opponent's stubbornness was beyond their imagination, they were still able to handle it with ease.

During the intermission, Wenger didn't say much. He didn't ask much from the players. He just needed to win the game steadily. It didn't matter whether the score was one goal or two goals.

"In the second half, pay attention to the opponent's counterattack and set-pieces, and try not to give them set-pieces that threaten the area. They mainly rely on this to score points."

"understand!"

The rest of the time was left for the players 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 not long after, and a group of players followed Liu Feng into the field again.

"The good players from both sides quickly exchanged half-time. In the second half, Cardiff City will kick-off. Their forward Campbell and winger Whittingham stand in front of the kick-off point."

"Shh!!!"

With a whistle, the game started again. Cardiff City directly adjusted their formation during the intermission. When the ball was passed, their formation showed 442.

Campbell and Whittingham are two forwards as the team's forwards, and the other midfielders remain unchanged.

One of the benefits of this adjustment is that their offense no longer looks so non-threatening. In the first minute of the game, Cardiff City's attack through the center and passed to the frontcourt caused some trouble for the Gunners.

Whittingham and Campbell's two-and-one pass allowed the Gunners to pass the first line of defense, and it was not until Gustavo and Ramsey's joint attack that they called a stop to all this.

In this case, Arsenal's offense did not dare to continue to press forward so high. They could only choose a more stable ball possession strategy to control the ball at their own feet.

Under such circumstances, the stalemate between the two sides naturally became inevitable again. The ball was constantly passed and pulled by the players in the middle. The ball possession ratio of the two sides reached an astonishing eight to two when the No. 70 minute of the game was announced.

"At 71 minutes into the game, the score was still 1-0. The professor made substitution adjustments 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 own state and performance, but simply because the professor wanted them to rest.

So, then Giroud and Wilshere came off the bench, and the two players who had rested off the court for half a day were very active after they came on the court, and they quickly created a threat.

This threat is not complicated. First, Wilshere cut the ball with a tackle when Cardiff City's hard-fought attack hit the center of his own midfield.

Then, the offensive midfielder who appeared in the midfielder found Ronaldo on the right side of the team with a long diagonal pass. After the teenager Ronaldo took the ball, he passed Jin Fujiong who was rushing forward with a light flick.

"J Ronaldo inserted all the way along the wing, and Cardiff City's defense had to move accordingly, passing the ball diagonally at 45 degrees. James' footwork is still excellent."

"Shu~"

"Oh!"

This is the No. 705 minute of the game. When Giroud took the ball out with a diving posture on the left side of the penalty area, the Cardiff goalkeeper faced a tricky header.

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

"The goal has been scored! For the second goal of the game, Giroud came off the bench and scored with a header. This big center will always be so trustworthy."

Looking at Giroud, who was hugged by the Arsenal team members on the pitch, Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun were very moved. Such a high-quality player was really unobtrusive before being dug out by the professor. This once again proved Wenger's knowledge of people.

After the goal was born, the suspense of the game was completely dissipated. The professor directly made a third substitution. Li Ke, who hadn't played for Arsenal for a long time, came on as a substitute.

The teenager recently made a very important decision. At the end of 2013, he announced his decision to quit British nationality and join Chinese nationality.

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

This point is naturally very welcome to Chinese fans. After all, the players who can be favored by Wenger and appear in the Arsenal squad are definitely stronger than most players in the national football team.

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

Although he did not score a goal or send an assist when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, in the post-match scoring, he still got a passing score after coming off the bench for less than 10 minutes.

"Shhhhhh!!!"

"The final whistle blew, the game ended and Arsenal won their first win of 2 with a score of 0-2014.

On the pitch, the Arsenal players celebrated together excitedly after the final whistle. Everyone talked and laughed and waved to their fans. As for the visiting team, Cardiff City, they left the pitch early.
