It’s different from the impassioned Real Madrid dressing room.
In the home team's locker room.
Arsenal's players seemed very calm.
"There are still forty-five minutes, remember. Don't fight with them, hold on to your defense, and wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack! We just need to stabilize the situation, and we can advance. Time is on our side!"
Wenger shouted.
What he is thinking about now is not how to advance.
It's about how to allow players to take as few cards as possible.
Avoid confusing the game and giving your opponent opportunities to take advantage.
As long as this game goes on smoothly.
Arsenal's promotion is a sure thing.
Any conflicts and accidents.
This will break this stability and lead to some unexpected situations.
This is what Wenger does not want to see.
The players nodded.
They hold a three-goal lead and four away goals to go.
The opponent had to score four goals in the second half to come back.
In this situation.
They don't need to be beaten.
As long as they stay calm, they can ensure promotion.
The second half of the game begins.
The two sides changed sides and fought again.
Neither side made any substitutions after halftime.
Both coaches keep three substitution cards as backhand.
In the 48th minute of the game, Yelo's long shot was saved by Diego Lopez.
Arsenal wins a corner kick.
Cazorla took a corner kick and Giroud grabbed the point in the penalty area and headed the ball toward the goal. However, due to interference from Pepe, the ball did not have enough speed and was picked up by Diego Lopez. Then he threw the ball directly by hand and struggled to throw the ball across the half court. Real Madrid quickly counterattacked!
"Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"
to the exclamations of the commentators.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not participate in corner kick defense but had been waiting for a counterattack opportunity in the frontcourt, quickly started to move forward past Arsenal's defense and caught up with the football! !
"Single sword!!!"
Amidst the exclamations of the commentator and the boos of the audience.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a single goal more than 40 meters away from the goal!
"Diego Lopez took Giroud's header and threw the ball directly into the goal! Cristiano Ronaldo was dribbling the ball to attack!"
"Cristiano Cristiano Cristiano."
All eyes are on Arsenal's backcourt.
Everyone thought this was a duel between Cristiano Ronaldo and Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
But right now.
A red figure quickly chased back!
"Ye Luo!!!"
to the narrator's exclamation.
Ye Luo's speed exploded to the limit.
He quickly approached Cristiano Ronaldo!
The Arsenal fans in the audience suddenly turned from boos to cheers.
And this also reminded Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was shocked.
He originally planned to continue moving forward with the ball. Because it was such a long distance, the goalkeeper was afraid that he would not dare to attack now. In addition, he was confident in his speed, so he had already thought that he would at least score with the ball. The penalty area then decides whether to shoot or pass the goalkeeper.
However.
The cheers from the audience made Ronaldo aware of the danger. He did not look back and instinctively felt a gust of wind coming from his left rear.
He dunked the ball with his left foot to his right.
at the same time.
A figure came sliding from the side and behind!
When the spikes hit the football, Cristiano Ronaldo's other foot also fell to the ground.
"Be careful!!" the Spanish commentator exclaimed.
"Beautiful!! Yello's key defense! He destroyed Cristiano Ronaldo's single shot!!" Sky Sports TV commentator Andy Gray shouted.
The Emirates Stadium suddenly burst into cheers and applause.
All Arsenal fans are applauding Yello's defense this time.
But right now.
The referee rushed up.
He took out the yellow card from his pocket!
"I scooped the ball!!"
Ye Luo put his head in his hands and couldn't believe that this tackle that he thought was very clean would be called a foul!
"This is a red card! He destroyed my single sword!!"
Cristiano Ronaldo was chanting.
He has a point too.
If the referee wants to call a foul.
That would definitely mean giving a red card. What's the point of giving a yellow card now?
This penalty immediately caused players on both sides to question the referee's decision.
"He committed a foul! Shouldn't a foul that destroys a single goal be a red card?!"
Ramos shouted.
"Give him a red card! Red!!"
"This is not a foul! How can this be a foul?!"
"It's a tackle! It's obvious that it's a tackle!!"
Arsenal's players are not convinced either.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Mourinho jumped with excitement.
He raised his arms high: "Red card! Red card! Where is the red card! The rules are written there! The rules are written there!!"
His loud roar prompted the fourth official to intervene.
But Mourinho was still very excited.
I can't tolerate him not being excited.
Because he saw hope.
The hope of creating miracles! !
If Ye Luo is punished
Wenger's heart was clenching at this moment.
After seeing the yellow card shown by the referee, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"No foul! There's no foul at all!"
Wenger also shouted loudly.
Confront Mourinho.
The two head coaches also got into a fight on the sidelines.
On the court.
The German referee Bormann first knocked away the players on both sides, and then called both parties over.
He first explained to Ronaldo: "He did scoop the ball, and you were too far away from the goal. The foul was 40 meters away from the goal. The ball was not enough to get a red card."
Then he explained to Yeluo: "You did scoop the ball, and I saw it too, but your follow-up action with your left foot brought down the opponent. I think this action was redundant, so I showed you a yellow card."
When Ye Luo heard this explanation, he was speechless.
Now that my right foot is shoveling out, where should I place my left foot?
It can't be cut down.
Ye Luo shook his head.
However, the referee did not give him a red card, which was a slight relief to him.
No matter what the other person's explanation is.
Anyway.
On the football field.
The referee has great authority.
And everyone’s understanding of the rules is different.
At least in the Premier League.
Ye Luo's pursuit and tackle just now was a very clean defense.
Not even a foul will be called.
However, in other arenas, if you encounter different referees and have different understandings of the rules, they may make different penalties.
Ye Luo could only understand this.
"Foul! A single-handed foul! This is a red card! The referee is simply committing a crime! He murdered Real Madrid's victory!!"
The Spanish commentator gritted his teeth with excitement.
"How could this be a foul? The ball was scooped! Everyone saw that the ball was scooped!" Many English commentators in the commentary box were indignant.
on the Internet.
Fans on both sides also started a debate.
This penalty will definitely cause a lot of controversy.
And both sides have their reasons.
One side thought that Ye Luo was a clean tackle and could not be considered a foul at all.
The other side believes that no matter whether Ye Luo commits a foul or not, as long as the referee calls a foul, it will definitely be a red card! Because Ronaldo went it alone.
Anyway.
No one on either side can convince anyone.
This is actually not determined by the rules, but by the positions of both sides.
To use an analogy.
As long as the two sides are switched, and it is Ye Luo who is dribbling the ball and Ronaldo is making the tackle, the stance of the fans on both sides will definitely change.
For the fans anyway.
rule?
What are the rules?
Does it matter if rules have butts?
Under the intervention of the referee.
Conflict and chaos subside.
Mourinho sat back on the bench angrily on the sidelines.
He opened a bottle of water and took a few sips. He seemed to feel very unhappy again. He threw the water bottle in his hand to the ground and said something in his mouth - needless to say, it was definitely not something nice to hear.
Wenger breathed a huge sigh of relief.
A successful defense.
Ye Luo did not receive a red card.
Wenger didn't care whether the ball was fouled or not.
But when his assistant Blake said in his ear: "This is Yello's fourth yellow card in the Champions League this season"
Wenger's face suddenly froze.
