Chapter 1014 The Myth of the Gunner: Super-Long Stoppage Time and Super-Long Shot

The Red Devils were so demonic that they rallied amid the cheers and cheers of nearly [-] fans at Old Trafford, and adopted a tight siege tactic against Arsenal.

Arsenal have been fighting hard for 80 minutes, with high intensity and fast pace. Their physical energy consumption is very high, and they have played a lot more games than Manchester United this season. Their physical fitness is not as good as Manchester United. It's hard to fight, and they can only defend passively, but there are less than 10 minutes left, and Arsenal's soldiers believe that two goals are enough to help them survive these 10 minutes.

However, it is clear that Arsenal underestimated the Red Devils' fighting power and desire for revenge. In the applause of the fans, they seemed to have taken a stimulant and surrounded every player in Arsenal with the ball like a mad dog. Li Huan, Nas Players like him in the team are also sent to mark when they don't have the ball, so that Arsenal players dare not pass the ball to them.This style of play consumes a lot of energy. If you play like this at the beginning of the game and in the middle of the game, it is not much different from suicide, but when there are only 10 minutes left, this style of play is obviously the most effective.

They were constantly besieged by their opponents, unable to counterattack, and the ball kept wandering around Arsenal's penalty area. After a long time, Arsenal's players couldn't stand it anymore. When the game went on to 88 minutes, goalkeepers Almunia and Kosche There was a coordination error between Erni. Almunia wanted to attack and get the ball, and Koscielny wanted to head the ball to clear the siege. Ni didn't yell, and the two of them bumped into each other.

The ball just flew in front of Rooney, the little fat man stretched out his foot and pushed it almost without a brain reaction, the ball changed direction and flew into the empty goal.

2: 3.
With 22 minutes left in the official game, Manchester United pulled back a goal.

Fatty didn’t congratulate after scoring the goal, but rushed into the net quickly, snatched the ball from Almunia’s hands, and ran towards the center circle. Time was very tight, and Rooney didn’t want to waste time by celebrating. He wants revenge, he wants to win against Arsenal, today is one of the best chances, if Arsenal can complete a big comeback after leading by two goals and eliminate Arsenal in the FA Cup, then even if Arsenal defend the league and the Champions League champions It must be uncomfortable, and it must be ridiculed by everyone.

After a burst of earth-shattering cheers, the Manchester United fans immediately shouted "One more goal!" "One more goal!" "Kill Arsenal!". . . . .

The fans of Manchester United clamored frantically, and the players of Manchester United were all brave, taking the lead and never giving Arsenal a chance to breathe.

"Manchester United's offense is getting more and more crazy. Arsenal can only defend passively. There are still 2 minutes left in the game. Even with stoppage time, it is 6 or [-] minutes. The undefeated record will be broken... It seems that Manchester United ended Arsenal's unbeaten record, and now Arsenal have met their own broom star..."

With one player missing, the score was brought back by one. Arsenal players and fans were not in a hurry. Although Arsenal was good at defending in stoppage time, they all returned to defense and put up iron buckets. It was no problem to defend for five or six minutes.

2 minutes passed quickly, but when the fourth official issued a 7-minute stoppage time sign, the Arsenal fans and players were stunned, because there were not many delays in the second half, why did the stoppage time take so long, They wondered if the sign was wrong.

The game was still going on. Although the Arsenal players were puzzled, they didn't have time to question the referee. Wenger rushed to the fourth official's side and shouted angrily: "Why 7 minutes? Where did the 7 minutes come from?" hour?"

The fourth official said: "Please be quiet, this is the decision made by the head coach."

Wenger said angrily: "No matter who makes the decision, it must be in line with the facts. You must tell me where the 7 minutes of stoppage time came from, otherwise I will appeal."

The fourth official said helplessly: "You need to ask the referee about this. He has the right to give stoppage time. If you have any questions or dissatisfaction, please ask him after the game."

Wenger saw that he could not get any explanation from the fourth official. He returned to his coach angrily and asked his assistant coach Rice to sort out the materials and evidence, and prepared to appeal to the FA after the game.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Li Huan found the referee Riley. He is the captain of the team. When the team suffers such injustice, he must stand up, "Can you explain the 7-minute stoppage time?"

Riley glanced at Li Huan, "I don't need to explain this to you."

Li Huan sneered and said, "Don't you feel blushed when you do such a thing? I really admire you, but Manchester United is doomed, God can't help them."

Riley's face turned red, and he put his hands into his pockets to give Li Huan a yellow card, but he finally held back his anger and didn't take out the yellow card, because Li Huan's reputation is too great and he has too many fans. Li Huan, reporters and fans must find out the reason after the game, the result is not good for him.

Manchester United was worried that there was not enough time. When they saw that the referee had given 7 minutes of stoppage time, they immediately lifted their spirits. Why the referee gave such a long stoppage time was not in their consideration. They just wanted to make good use of it. These last 7 minutes, this is also their best chance to beat Arsenal in two years.

Manchester United's offensive became even crazier, overwhelming Arsenal, but after being treated unfairly, Arsenal were filled with righteous indignation. This kind of anger made their almost exhausted physical fitness seem to show signs of recovery. Under the indiscriminate bombardment, they always kept a clear head and firmly controlled the one-goal lead in their own hands.

1 minute. . . . 2 minutes. . . . . . 6 minutes. . . . . 7 minutes. . . .

Seeing that 7 minutes passed, Manchester United still did not tie the score, Arsenal fans and players on the bench stood up, ready to celebrate the team's victory over Manchester United and reached the semi-finals, but they saw that the referee Riley did not Blow the whistle to end the game.

Seeing that 7 minutes had passed, Riley still hadn't blown the whistle, Wenger was a little anxious, he rushed to the fourth official's side again, pointed at his watch and roared loudly: "Why hasn't the whistle been blown yet? It's over."

After stoppage time, stoppage time cannot be added. This is common sense, and the fourth official also knows it, but he doesn't know what happened to the referee Riley today, what kind of nerves he got, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Wenger: "Please be patient, maybe the referee wants to wait for Manchester United's round of offense to end."

"Fart! They've been attacking all the time. There's no end. I think Riley wants to wait for Manchester United to score before ending." The professor swears angrily.

The fourth official ignored the professor with some guilt, stepped aside, and let the professor go crazy there.

A little more than 8 minutes into stoppage time, Manchester United had all been pressed into Arsenal's half, and only goalkeeper Van der Sar was alone in Manchester United's half. At this time, as long as Arsenal can pour the ball out, they can immediately A single-handed goal was formed, but Arsenal were exhausted, there were no forwards in front of them, and they all went back to defend.Even if there is a single chance, the current Arsenal players may not have the strength to run more than 100 meters.

However, when the Manchester United players and fans gave up any shame and wanted to use this extraordinary stoppage time to equalize the score, Li Huan, who had already come to the center of the penalty area to act as a central defender, made a header in the penalty area. Li Huan jumped high He hit the ball at the place where Manchester United had the fewest players, and then accelerated out of the encirclement. At this time, Manchester United defender Ferdinand had already rushed to the ball's landing point, but Manchester United's physical energy was almost exhausted at the moment, and Ferdinand also Not a fast player, he arrived two steps later than Li Huan, Li Huan did not choose to pass the ball, because Ferdinand would never let him pass, fouls are inevitable.So Li Huan kicked the ball directly and hoisted it towards Manchester United's gate.

Van der Sar had just stood more than ten meters away from the middle circle. He ran back after seeing Li Huan rushing out, but no matter how fast he ran, he was not as fast as the ball flew. Van der Sar had not yet returned to the penalty area. The ball flew over Van der Sar's head, then fell in the penalty area and flew into the net.

4:2, Arsenal expanded the score at the last moment.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Another super long-range shot. Li Huan's super long-range lob shot from the front of his penalty area broke through the gate guarded by Van der Sar. At this moment, 9 minutes of stoppage time have been played. This is a terrifying time. The inexplicable stoppage time, but Manchester United did not seize the opportunity, but Li Huan scored a wonderful lob... There is no suspense in the game, even if Manchester United's royal referee Riley added 9 minutes of stoppage time. That's it, the game's over, Arsenal are in the semi-finals..."

Following the commentator's words, the whistle for the end of the game finally sounded. Arsenal finally defeated Manchester United in this difficult game and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and also maintained their record of unbeaten victories.

In the post-match press conference, Wenger and Li Huan angrily attacked the referee Riley. Wenger believed that the 9-minute stoppage time was a scandal, which was a blatant provocation to the fans and fair play. a statement.

Li Huan thought it was a conscious hostile action against Arsenal. Although he didn't want to criticize the referee, today's referee was too much and he couldn't bear it. Li Huan hoped that such a situation would not happen again in the future.

After the game, the referee committee of the FA conducted an investigation on Riley, admitted that Riley's stoppage time was subjective and too arbitrary, and suspended Riley's qualification to enforce the Premier League game.
