Jagged Wings

Chapter 101 Infighting!Infighting!
At this point in the game, it was already the end of the first half, and the referee Protz once again became the protagonist on the field.

Anticipating Arsenal's fierce offensive, Villarreal specially rehearsed their defensive counterattacks before the game. They were dedicated to defending, waiting for the moment when a loophole appeared under Arsenal's mad attack.

In stoppage time in the first half, the opportunity appeared!
Arsenal, who stormed halftime, felt that the tempo was too fast. They slowed down and waited for the half-time whistle.

At this moment, Senna saw that Hleb was a little careless in defense, so he suddenly stepped forward and broke Hleb's ball, and then he passed the ball to Riquelme without stopping the ball.

This time Riquelme ran to his own half to receive the ball, so Gilberto didn't follow.And most of Arsenal's team is still in the opponent's half and has not returned.

Riquelme knew that this was the time for the team to counterattack, and he did not dare to delay the rhythm of the team's counterattack. Turning around with the ball was a direct pass.

Fran pulls to the left to get the ball and Eboue tries to come up to defend, but Fran passes him with deft footwork and sends a cross.

Sorin stopped the ball in the chest in the penalty area, and Villarreal striker José Mali stepped forward to respond. Gilberto, who returned to the defense, fell to the ground and shoveled directly on José Mali's calf.The Spaniard fell to the ground, holding his calf in pain.

"My God! It's definitely a penalty!"

"Gilberto's tackle was very reckless, and he even gave Arsenal a penalty..."

"The Villarreal players are already celebrating!"

Villarreal's commentator is celebrating, while Arsenal's commentator is very heavy.

But the referee's whistle didn't sound!
Referee Proutz's only response was to wave to Jose Mari and tell him to get up.Jose Mari looked pained and lay on the ground without answering him.

When the referee Protz saw that Jose Mari had no intention of getting up by himself, he turned around and signaled for a stretcher to enter the field.

"It's a penalty kick!"

Riquelme spread his hands and stepped forward to appeal, but received a yellow card.

"Damn it!" Villarreal's commentator couldn't help but swear: "This referee is fucking looking for balance!"

At the beginning of the game, Protz disallowed a goal from Henry, but this time, towards the end of the first half, he also disallowed a penalty from Villarreal.

"It's definitely finding a balance!"

However, it is impossible to change the referee's penalty. Villarreal fell into impatience in the subsequent game, and they all had no intention of attacking, so they spent 2 minutes of stoppage time.

"Beep-beep-"

After two whistles, the referee announced the end of the first half.

"This is the ugliest game we have seen since the knockout round of the Champions League. The reason why we say this game is 'ugly' is not that the tactics of the two sides of the game are conservative, but that the referee Protz dominated the game. His A misjudgment disallowed a goal for Arsenal and a penalty for Villarreal in order to find balance. The home team is not happy, and the away team is not happy."

"The referee became the protagonist of this game, and even the goal of Arsenal was related to him!"

"Whether it is offside or not, it can't be judged. Is UEFA's referee training class eating and drinking?"

************
In fact, such a score is not beyond Pellegrini's expectations. In this most terrifying home court in Europe, he has already made plans to concede the ball.

One or two are within his expectations, and he can accept even a little more. The most important thing is that they have to score an away goal!
So at the beginning of the second half, Villarreal was more proactive than in the first half, and Gilberto found that Riquelme was more difficult to defend than he was in the first half.The two full-backs Sorin and Venta also began to step in frequently. As for the space behind them?
If there is no away goal, you will die. Who cares about this little space?
Arsenal adjusted their mood and counterattacked calmly. The score went to the end, and they were the final winners.So they are very patient and not in a hurry to attack.

In the second half, the referee Protz's penalty was finally normal. After calling Villarreal several times for diving fouls, Villarreal finally stopped the unscrupulous diving foul behavior.

But although the protagonist in the second half was not Protz, it was replaced by a little squirrel.

In the 10th minute of the second half, a squirrel who was watching the game on the sidelines couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, rushed into the field to try to stop the game, but unfortunately ran in the wrong direction-it ran towards the empty Arsenal goal-this At that time, Arsenal was fighting back.

Lehman raised his hand at the squirrel: "Go out, let's compete!"

The squirrel circled the area in front of the goal twice before leaving.

Then Villarreal cut off Arsenal's football in the frontcourt, ready to fight back.

This time it was Riquelme who took the ball, Luventa on the right made a high-speed drive, and Senna rushed up on the left.

Although Venta got in quickly, Reyes followed him closely; Senna was unmarked on the other side, and Arsenal's right back Eboue and right forward Hleb were both attacking in front. , Senna is facing a vacuum sidewalk.

Riquelme subconsciously wanted to pass the ball to Senna, but his heart moved, and he suddenly thought of Arsenal's remarks before the game that "Senna is the hero of Villarreal's Champions League".With a thought in his mind, he moved his ankle lightly and sent it to Wenta.

Venta wanted to catch the ball while running at high speed, but Reyes grabbed his jersey tightly with his hands: "Small, don't want to jump!"

In the end, Venta didn't catch the ball, and Reyes got a foul.

"Damn it!" Venta looked at Reyes angrily.

This is the same Reyes who elbowed himself in the first half and despicably "stealed" a goal; now he sabotages his own attack, what a shame!
Venta suddenly had the urge to push Reyes to the ground.

Just when he was about to act, the referee's whistle blew.

Venta froze for a moment, he just stared at Reyes, was it a foul?

But this time it was him who was being sentimental, and Protz ignored him and rushed to the other side of the court.

On the other side, Senna and Riquelme held each other's foreheads, arguing loudly with veins on their necks, obviously extremely angry.

"Oooh, what did we see? Villarreal players are fighting among themselves! Senna and Riquelme are together!"

"What happened between them? Was it because of a pass?"

Venta was stunned, why did Riquelme and Senna quarrel together, what happened?
The Villarreal players, including Venta, were stunned, and the core of the offense and the backbone of the defense quarreled?
How can this be?Although these two people are the core, they are good boys who behave well and never cause trouble. Why do they fight?
The only thing they saw was that Riquelme passed this counterattack to Venta, who was out of position on the right, while Senna on the left was holding his hand empty.

Then Senna ran to the middle, and after the two exchanged a few words, a conflict broke out suddenly.

"Selfish!"

"Autistic!"

Two people who are not good at communicating, even scolding each other is so simple...

The referee rushed forward, and it took a while to separate the two sides.

At this time, Wenger quietly gave Reyes a thumbs up: Amazing!

Reyes sent a "satisfied" look.

That's right, it was Reyes who thought up the strategy of using "Quasena" to provoke the relationship between Senna and Riquelme before the game.In the understanding of Reyes, a traveler, Riquelme is a "lonely genius".

Riquelme's peerless talent is well known, but Riquelme has been hitting a wall since his debut until he arrived at Villarreal.Here, Pellegrini established Riquelme as the core, and all tactics revolved around him.All people and all tactics serve the core of Riquelme.

This unleashed all of Riquelme's energy and allowed him to lead the Yellow Submarines to the Champions League semi-finals.

And Reyes' plan is very simple. He wants to artificially create a character who can be compared with Riquelme in the Villarreal team, and Senna, who has a silent personality and a solid defense, is the best candidate.

Reyes told Wenger about the plan and won Wenger's support.

Now seeing Senna and Riquelme fighting on the field, Reyes knew that his strategy was successful!
In fact, this method is very low-level, and it can be seen at a glance.But Grandpa Mao said that specific problems should be analyzed in detail, and all reactionaries are paper tigers, so the special plan was used on Riquelme in particular, and it succeeded.
