Chapter 275 A Final
The appearance of Bendtner did not bring any gratifying changes to the stalemate on the court, but made Birmingham more determined to implement the defensive tactics of shrinking!
Even their forwards retreated to the front of their own penalty area. The entire Birmingham half was a mess, with people crowded and people next to each other!
Even Arsenal didn't even have a chance to take a long shot, because no matter which direction the long shot was shot in, it would eventually hit a certain player!

This also made the fans of both sides feel a little sad!
Arsenal fans naturally hope that the team can continue to attack and win the game, but they are worried that under the current situation, the team can't attack for a long time and will be attacked by the opponent and lose the game!
As for the fans of Birmingham, there is no need to say more. Seeing your team being beaten by the opponent within a 30-meter area, don't be too nervous, okay!
And as the game time slowly passed, Arsenal's players finally had physical problems first, just as Birmingham's coaching staff had predicted.

Specifically on the court, first of all, many unknown mistakes were made in the process of passing the ball, and the inaccurate passing caused the success rate of passing the ball to begin to decline rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, when the players were running, they could clearly find a gap, but they missed the opportunity because they couldn't keep up with their physical strength!
……

"How about it?
Do you want to adjust? "

Pat Rice looked at Wenger, who was fidgeting beside him, and knew the entanglement in his old partner's heart at this time, so he couldn't help asking.

"Wait a minute..."

Wenger didn't look back, but spoke in a low voice.

Uncle Rice, Pat Rice shook his head silently, apparently disapproving of Wenger's entanglement at the moment.

In his view, there is no need for Wenger to compromise with the fans and the team's top management and attach so much importance to the League Cup.

For a team like Arsenal, which claims to be a giant, what about winning the League Cup?

It's just that when the media ridicules that the team has no championship indicators for many years, there is one less reason to ridicule!

It doesn't help much for the conditions that the giants care about, such as the team's income, the team's competitiveness and commercial attractiveness.

On the contrary, it will take a lot of energy from the team!

In his opinion, the most important thing for the team at present is to prepare for the second round with Barcelona!
Especially in the excellent situation where they have already taken the lead in the first round, if Barcelona can be eliminated, the increase in Arsenal's influence will definitely be significant!

As long as the influence of the team can be ensured, after another one or two years, the team's short-term loan is paid off, and the financial pressure is greatly reduced, and then invest in the transfer market, Arsenal will definitely have a chance to re-enter the top team ranks.

But right now, for this League Cup final, they first rotated in the league and almost lost the chance to catch up with Manchester United. Now they might be dragged into overtime again!

In this way, it will definitely have an unknowable impact on the upcoming Champions League match in a few days!
Therefore, it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible whether to get rid of the face of "no crown" or to get the "inside" of the real gold and silver of the Champions League!
And since you have to make a decision, make it as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely that the two roads that will be involved in the end will not work!
But Wenger in front of him obviously hasn't made a decision yet. He loves this club so much that he doesn't want to see anyone teasing her.

Every time I see people teasing Arsenal with "no crown", although Wenger appears to be very sensible on the surface, Pat Rice, who gets along with him almost day and night, knows the pain in his old partner's heart...

"Hey……"

Looking at the time on the scoreboard on the field, Pat Rice couldn't help but sigh.

Maybe it was stimulated by Pat Rice's sigh, maybe it was because he had already made a decision in his heart!
Just at the 80th minute of the game, Wenger suddenly stood up!

Then, he walked quickly to the position of the fourth official, which attracted the attention of the on-site commentary, which in turn attracted the attention of all the fans.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth official quickly walked to the sidelines and held up the substitution card!
No. 4 Cesc Fabregas!
Enter Wilshere, number 19!

This substitution caused an uproar at the scene!
As a result, after a while, the substitution sign on the sidelines was raised again!
Van Persie on the 10th!
No. 9 Mu Jianfeng is on the stage!

This time, not only the fans at the scene were in an uproar, but even the fans in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast on the Internet were a little confused!
And at the scene, Wenger's tall but thin figure was standing alone on the sidelines at the moment, with a breeze blowing by, and the corners of his clothes were blown up a little.

Pat Rice sat on the bench and looked at the skinny old man, feeling bitter in his heart...

……

Near the end of the game, the two main players Fabregas and Van Persie were replaced. Almost everyone believed that Arsenal gave up the League Cup final for the Champions League game a few days later!

This made many people dissatisfied, especially the online fans who have been ridiculed by fans of other teams for a long time!

At this moment, they poured into various forums, post bars, bibs, MSN, Facebook, etc., wantonly criticizing Wenger and his conservative arrogance!
Even the players on the field seemed a little discouraged!
But Mu Jianfeng didn't think so!
He didn't think he was here to make up the numbers, but to fight for victory!

And what he saw in Wenger's eyes was not giving up, but anticipation!

The old man firmly believed that his young people were enough to bring victory to the team, so he gave it a go. The bet was his trust in these young people!

But the young people of Arsenal seem not to realize that after three substitutions, with Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas off the field, the players on the field fell into a kind of chaos!
Bendtner, who was replaced in the second half, began to move closer to the center after Van Persie left the field, but that was where Wenger arranged for Mu Jianfeng!

Although Wilshere, who replaced Cesc Fabregas, played decently, his character still couldn't get rid of the impulse of young people, and he often got into the staff with the ball!
This made Alexander Song, who was filling in for him behind him, a little dissatisfied, because too many defensive tasks made him exhausted and unable to move forward!

And his partner Nasri seldom puts his mind on defense, and more is playing defense around him...

In this way, after a few minutes of testing, the Birmingham players, whose defensive pressure was greatly reduced, were pleasantly surprised to find that their opponents seemed to be caught in the trouble they created!

So, after being relieved, they began to try to grab more aggressively!
As a result, the ball was easily snatched away? !

Overjoyed, the Birmingham players did not attack rashly, but after testing again, they were sure that their opponents were not trying to lure them on purpose!
So, while the fourth official stood on the sidelines and held up the stoppage time sign, Birmingham's head coach also used up the last substitution quota!
The next moment, they seemed weak, but suddenly mustered up all their courage, and made a final charge towards Arsenal like desperadoes!
