Chapter 3 Seventy: Goal! !Invalid goal?
Azpilicueta didn't care about Cazorla who went inside, but turned to Sagna who got the ball from the outside.But he was still one step too late, and when he just turned around, Sania had already kicked the ball out.

Spain's young talented full-back can only do his last effort, jumping up and stretching out his thighs, trying to intercept the ball.But obviously this is a useless effort, and he can only do his own duty.

The ball flew high over Azpilicueta and Terry and into the penalty area.Podolski, who switched positions with Li Zihan and came to the center as a temporary center, immediately inserted into the front of the small penalty area line, and then took off.

Cahill didn't dare to neglect, and also jumped up, competing with Podolski for the header.Cech didn't dare to put all his treasures on Cahill, so he also jumped up and stretched out his hands to take the ball off in advance.

"Sagna crosses Podolski!!!"

However, everyone thought that when Podolski headed the goal, the German suddenly turned his head and missed the ball.

"Shake it! The ball hits Li Zihan at the back!!!"

Li Zihan watched the ball fly from the far corner of the goal, and did not adjust. He knew that there was no extra time at this time. As an excellent shooter, he would not waste any time and opportunities in the penalty area.

He raised his right thigh horizontally, facing the flying ball and shot directly in the air!
"Li Lingkong volleys!!"

When Li Zihan shot, the jumping Podolski, Cahill and Cech had lost their stagnation and just sank.

But at this time the ball flew over the heads of the three, and then plunged into the side net of the other side of the net.

"Goooooooooal!!! The ball - Goin!! Goin!! Gogogogogo!!!!"

"A beautiful match, Podolski missed the ball from the front point, and the excellent striker Lee calmly volleyed in the penalty area and blasted the ball into Chelsea's goal."

"Chelsea's goal is not easy to score, but fortunately, Arsenal broke through Chelsea's goal in only 8 minutes. The goal was scored by a young striker in hot form——Li Zihan!!"

Li Zihan excitedly ran to Podolski's position, then took off and hung directly on the opponent's body, and his teammates stepped forward to celebrate.

But at this time, the person who disrupted the atmosphere appeared, and the referee blew his whistle, but instead of pointing his finger to the center circle to signal a kick-off, he pointed to Chelsea's goal to signal a free kick in the penalty area.

"what's going on?"

"The goal is invalid!!! The referee signaled that Arsenal's goal was invalid. What happened? Oh, the linesman raised the small flag in his hand. He thought the opponent was offside? Is Li Zihan offside? It seems not."

The Arsenal players quit and rushed forward to surround the referee, and there was a huge booing sound at the scene. Oh, this is not booing anymore, but cursing.

Li Zihan was a little dazed, and went through the previous attack in his mind, and he did not find that he was offside, and Podolski was not offside, because Cahill was close to a position in front of him.

Unconvinced, Li Zihan rushed into the "encirclement" of his teammates.

"Sir, what's the matter? Who was offside? Why did they get offside?" Li Zihan asked anxiously.

His teammates could also tell from his tone that Li, who had always been very kind, was beginning to get angry.There has never been a gentle gentleman on the football field. If some unfair punishment falls on you, even a gentleman can't control it.

In fact, the referee didn't see it either. He was outside the penalty area and didn't notice the rear point at all. His eyes were all on whether there was a foul in the penalty area.The reason why the whistled goal is invalid is that Arsenal's offside is completely judged by the semaphore of his assistant and linesman.

The referee communicated with the line referee through the headset, and then the line referee told him that when Podolski headed the ball and passed the ball, Li Zihan, who was pointing behind, was in an offside position.

When the referee told the Arsenal players the basis of the line referee's penalty, the Arsenal players were even more like gunpowder.

"Damn, is he blind? How could the ball be offside?"

"Damn it, he's not a Chelsea fan, is he?"

"Hey. What did your colleague look like? I didn't touch the ball at all. I turned my head and didn't touch the ball at all. The ball was passed by Sania. At that time, Li was not there at all. An offside position," Podolski explained, followed by a head tilt to demonstrate his innocence.

"I said sir, the ball Podolski didn't touch the ball at all. If he touched the ball, the ball should not have just landed on my position. There will be more or less an ups and downs in the arc of the ball. Either the ball is going towards the goal, or the ball will start to undulate upwards at the point where Podolski is, it cannot be such a comfortable and smooth arc directly to my position." Li Zihan tried to convince the referee .

The referee continued to communicate with the line referee, and after receiving the same answer from the line referee, he hesitated for a while, but still did not change the penalty.

Pushed away some Arsenal players, signaled them not to surround him, and then pointed to the position of Chelsea's goal.

The fans' scolding escalated, and huge national scolding flooded the Emirates Stadium. The entire female relatives of the referee's family were greeted over and over again.

More than 4 home fans raised at least [-] middle fingers.Some radical fans even threw their own mineral water and beverage cups into the field to express their dissatisfaction with the penalty.

"Oh, the referee insisted on his decision. He believed in his assistant. Did the linesman think that Podolski was offside? But Podolski didn't touch the ball. Could it be that he was interfering with the goalkeeper? It doesn't make sense. !"

"The linesman thought that Li Zihan was in an offside position when Podolski used the header to ferry the ball. This is simply a big joke, because Podolski didn't touch the ball at all, how could the header be ferryed , How could it be possible to pass the ball? So this is simply a wrong and unreasonable penalty."

"Let's take a look at the slow motion. Cazorla gives the ball to Sagna and cuts inside. Sagna takes the ball and takes a look at the penalty area, and finally kicks the ball! Watch out, Sagna kicks the ball Neither Podolski nor Li Zihan was offside at the moment." The broadcaster's director 'humanized' froze the picture for three seconds when Sarnia kicked.

"At this time, Cahill is in front of Podolski, and Li Zihan is behind Ivanovic and Cahill in the same way. So there is no offside at this time, let's continue to watch." The screen continued, The white anti-offside line drawn by the director on the screen also disappeared.

"The ball reached the front of the small penalty area, and Podolski, Cahill and Cech took off almost simultaneously. But Podolski was obviously well prepared, whether it was the route of the ball, the landing point or the timing of the take-off. The grasp is quite good. But he should have been the first to hit the ball, but he missed the ball. Note here, Podolski's head was deflected. The ball missed from his head position, and he did not Hit the ball. Li Zihan from behind kept up with the volley and the ball flew into the goal!" The director played and replayed Podolski's handicap several times, and almost everyone could clearly see that it was indeed a missed goal. Not a header-flying pass.

"This was a complete misjudgment!!! The line referee's misjudgment affected the referee's judgment. As soon as he raised the flag, he blew away a wonderful goal!!"

Wenger questioned the fourth official on the sidelines, and the fourth official backed up again and again, and it was not easy to "speak harshly" to Wenger, because he also saw the replay on the LCD screen above the scene. A wonderful goal indeed.

The fourth official could only appease Wenger and try to speak in a gentler tone, otherwise it would be easy to make the already dissatisfied home fans even more irritable at this time.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, did not go to the fourth official to join in the fun, and did not say anything about the referee's penalty.Instead, he kept pointing, yelling, and gesticulating on the field with a straight face. Through this arrangement, he told his players what to do, and which aspect he was still very dissatisfied with.

Mourinho has always been a very good coach on the spot, which is well known.

Seeing that his teammates are still surrounding the referee, Arteta, the deputy team, feels that it is almost enough to express his dissatisfaction. If the referee hates it, then maybe he will show his teammates a yellow card warning later.Especially Podolski, who was very excited, if he continued like this, or if he pushed the referee again, he might get a red card directly.

Arteta greeted the backcourt players such as Modesat and Koscielny to go over and pull his teammates away, so as to avoid the emotional teammates from doing anything radical.

However, when Arteta managed to pull his teammates away and the situation on the scene eased, something unexpected happened.

A person rushed out from the Arsenal bench, ran into the field quickly, and then rushed to the linesman who had raised the flag for offside before everyone could react.

Then he pointed at the lineman's nose and cursed, and the close-up of the camera was directly on the two people on the sidelines.

"Arsenal was very dissatisfied with the line referee's penalty. One person rushed out of Arsenal's position and went to the line referee to reason about the previous ball. Well, maybe because of too much excitement, his theoretical terms may not be very polite. This should be a member of the Arsenal coaching staff!"
