Chapter 549: Unexpected start
"Welcome everyone to the famous Stadium of Light in Portugal. Portugal has a rare good weather today. Just like its name, the sun shines into the stadium today. The sky is also beautiful on such an important day. This famous stadium is The home of Benfica, a powerful team in the Portuguese Super League, was officially completed in [-] and was repaired in [-]. The new Stadium of Light can accommodate [-] fans to watch the game at the same time.” Zhan Jun is introducing to everyone about History and background information on the course.

The broadcaster of the UEFA Champions League gave a 360-degree stereoscopic display of the Stadium of Light inside and out. Hullhouse said: "From this point of view, the Stadium of Light is really a bit like the Emirates Stadium."

Indeed, from the inside, the Stadium of Light really looks a bit like Arsenal's home stadium, the Emirates Stadium, especially the design of the seats and the roof of the stadium.
Before the game started, fans from both sides began to fight songs, one for you and one for me.They sang cheering songs often sung by the team or some pop music.

Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have no hatred or grievance, so the fans of both sides are relatively harmonious.

"The fans at the scene are entertaining themselves, the atmosphere of the final is still very good"

Amidst the singing of fans from both sides, the game finally kicked off.

The referee of the final, the famous young Italian post Rizzoli, took the final ball and led the referee team to walk out first. Behind him were the starting players of both sides, and the players of both teams were holding ball boys. .

It is worth mentioning that the ideal UEFA final referee before was Howard Weber, also known as the bald Weber that everyone is familiar with.But because Webber is the referee of the Premier League, UEFA fears that this will be unfair to Atletico Madrid from the Spanish league, so the final result is the Italian referee Rizzoli.

Because there is not much communication between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, one in England and one in Spain, there are not many confrontations in the Champions League, and there are not many people who know each other, so the two teams did not shake hands before the game. He nodded politely.

After the Champions League theme song, after the necessary ceremony, the two sides officially started this high-profile Champions League final.

Atletico Madrid won the right to kick-off, and they will take the lead in this game.

"Atlético kicked off, Diego Costa returned the ball to Cork and went forward himself, Cork gave the ball to Raúl Garcia, Garcia Cork returned the ball to Diego Costa, Costa passed Flamini!" When Diego Costa passed Flamini, Hullhouse's voice was an octave higher. Both the ball and the breakthrough can bring pressure to the Arsenal people. Although this is the first time for the opponent in this field.

"Pass the ball to Villa and see how Calabash handles it. It's a high ball. Do it back!! Diego Costa runs flexibly. Got it. What is Koscielny doing? Thinking about life? Let the opponent The most threatening player entered the penalty area so easily? And he even received the ball!!" Zhan Jun's voice also changed.

Koscielny also knew that he had made a mistake, so he posted it immediately, and directly blocked Diego Costa to prevent the opponent from completing his turn.

"French centre-backs beware, Diego Costa is not so easy to deal with."

As a result, the famous English football star Lineker just finished speaking, and Koscielny cheated.

Diego Costa took the ball and was about to turn around. Koscielny pulled the opponent's jersey slightly, and then stretched his feet on the opponent's forward path to block the ball.

As a result, he accidentally stepped on the instep of Diego Costa when he stretched out his foot, and Diego Costa fell to the ground directly.

"Um..." Hull House widened his eyes.

Beep! !Rizzoli stopped the game immediately.

Koscielny thought of a possibility. He felt that his back was wet with sweat. It had only been one minute since the start of the match, and he hadn't fully exercised because he had a bad premonition and looked up. Referee Rizzoli looked.

really! !The Italian's right finger points to the penalty spot
"Penalty!!! The game has only started for 1 minute, and Atletico Madrid scored a penalty for the first attack!! Isn't this too dramatic?"

"Koscielny. This is the first time he has given a penalty kick to the opponent in the past two seasons? And it often appears at critical moments. He is really a professional player who has cheated his teammates for a century." Uncle Zhan Jun couldn't help complaining. up.

Koscielny is indeed a little worrying. When he first came to Arsenal, he made Arsenal miserable.Now that several seasons have passed, after feeling that he has become a little more stable, he will give everyone a small surprise from time to time, such as this time.
Koscielny jumped up immediately, his emotions a little agitated.He rushed to the referee's side: "I didn't touch him, he fell by himself. Could such a big man be tripped by such a little confrontation?"

Although Rizzoli is relatively young, as a referee mainly trained by the Italian Football Association, he has rich experience in competitions. At present, there is no such young referee who can have such a rich resume.

So he tried his best to calm Koscielny's emotions. After all, it's only 1 minute now, and Rizzoli doesn't want everyone to make trouble.

Flamini came over and pulled Koscielny away. The two are fellow Frenchmen, and Flamini failed to intercept the ball at the beginning and gave the opponent a chance, so the French veteran first pulled Koscielny away. Expressed his apologies.

Koscielny went back outside the penalty area angrily, and then saw Diego Costa making faces at him.So Koscielny felt that he had been fooled, and immediately felt his forehead heat up, and rushed in front of Diego Costa, pointing his finger at the other's nose: "You did it on purpose!! Flop, you liar!! "

Diego Costa immediately pushed Koscielny's hand away with both hands, and then looked at him fiercely.

Flamini quickly pulled Koscielny away again, and Modesat also came up to help.

At this time, Diego Costa followed closely, chasing after Koscielny who was pulled away, asking what the other party meant.

Rizzoli immediately rushed forward to block the two sides, lest the situation escalate further.

"No, he was the one who picked things up first. If he tripped me or stepped on me, it's still reasonable?" Diego Costa acted first.

This was obviously heard by Koscielny not far away, and the French immediately exploded: "Fack!! What do you mean?"

It's just that Koscielny was stopped by the referee before breaking through his teammates' interception. This time Rizzoli was not polite and gave Koscielny a yellow card very decisively.

Li Zihan rushed up and lay in front of Rizzoli, and communicated with the referee in Italian. The two were old acquaintances. Li Zihan met Rizzoli a lot during the season he played in Italy. At that time, one of them was A leader among Italian league players and a king among referees, the two are no strangers.

"Koscielny. Isn't this taking the initiative to go up to find a yellow card? Who knows who is Diego Costa? He is usually unreasonable, but now he is reasonable. He hasn't flown into the sky yet!"

"The French central defender can't hold back, so Arsenal will suffer a lot. This is also because Arsenal has no one to use in this position. Merdesart is the only pillar, Vermaelen is not in good condition, Koschel It's easy for Ni to get into the next game, and the midfielder's interception is not strong, but Arsenal have reached the final of the Champions League. This means that with Li Zihan, without Li, it may be impossible to qualify for the group."

"Wenger should really think about the team's team building policy. Next season, he should make some improvements in the midfield and defense. According to this lineup, relying on Li Zihan is not an option."

With such a delay by Koscielny, the director of the broadcaster couldn't switch to slow-motion playback.When the situation was over and Atletico Madrid was preparing for a penalty kick, the broadcast began to play back Koscielny's foul in slow motion.

"Well, this ball seems to have wronged Koscielny"

"Fuck me, Koscielny didn't actually step on Diego Costa's foot, but just brushed an edge. Such an action did not affect Diego Costa's breakthrough at all, that is to say... a flop !!"

"Diego Costa actually rolled twice on the ground after such contact, and then hugged his feet and yelled, that's a heart-piercing performance! It's useless for the Oscar winner not to give him his acting skills! "

When the slow-motion playback came out, various commentators complained about Diego Costa's diving.

The only exception is the Spanish commentator, who is cheering for Diego Costa.

After watching the slow-motion playback, everyone began to sympathize with Koscielny.

The communication between Li Zihan and Rizzoli did not last for a long time. Li Zihan only euphemistically stated that Koscielny was wronged. Anyone who watched Diego Costa's game knows what kind of person he is.Although he is not a bad guy, he has nothing to do with a good guy, at least on the court.

All members exited the penalty area, Arsenal only left goalkeeper Szczesny, and Atletico Madrid was preparing to kick a penalty.Wenger on the sidelines covered his eyes, and Atletico Madrid coach Simeone not far away jumped up and shook his fist vigorously, as if he had won the game.

"This is not the end of the world for Arsenal. Whether the opponent can make a penalty is still one thing. And even if the penalty is scored, there are still 89 minutes in the game. Arsenal have plenty of time to equalize and overtake the score." Arsenal official TV The narrator said so.
