Jagged Wings

Chapter 100 Welcome to Highbury!
Wenta's skin was thick enough, he lay on the ground and hummed for a while before slowly getting up.

Reyes frowned, the referee's penalty was a bit loose.You only gave a warning for such an obvious dive. Could it be that you also accepted bribes?

In any case, Villarreal's such a positive "performance," it should still be possible to give a yellow card warning.

Well, since the referee doesn't give out a yellow card, then maybe I'm going to do justice for the heavens!
Reyes once again made a surprise attack on the side. This time, Venta followed Reyes closely because of his forward attack.Venta's defense was solid, tight on the inside, and Reyes couldn't get rid of him.

Venta is complacent about being able to "defend" Reyes. You must know that even in Spain, Reyes, who plays for the Premier League, is quite famous.

Reyes looked like he was going to speed up, and Venta hurried two steps faster to catch up with Reyes.But Reyes suddenly flicked the ball to the center and cut inside.

Venta is thin and weak, and there is an obvious gap between Reyes and Reyes in physical confrontation. With a negligence, Reyes left him behind.

From the corner of his eyes, Venta saw that Hosico was already stuck on the inside of Reyes to prevent him from continuing to cut in, so he ran to the outside with a short body, intending to go around and defend Reyes from another direction.

Venta's movement happened behind Reyes, who of course couldn't see it.

Hosico ran over, intending to steal the ball from Reyes reasonably with Venta.But Reyes suddenly kicked the ball to the bottom line with his right foot and pulled it to the side again.

While turning around, Reyes will definitely make a turn and swing his arms.At this time, Wenta came round from the outside, as if he had posted it on his own initiative, and hit Reyes' elbow.

Out of sight of the referee, Reyes slammed his left elbow hard into Venta's soft stomach, and then accelerated to run up.

Reyes was alone, while Venta fell to the ground clutching his stomach.This time, he no longer performed the unique technique of "turning forward two weeks and then turning three times", but lying on the ground, his body curled up like a shrimp.

Josico stood closer than the referee, saw Reyes' action, and raised his hand: foul!

The referee's station was right behind Reyes, so he didn't see Reyes' hidden movements.

And because of the previous lessons learned, the referee did not blow the whistle, but stretched out his hands: the game continues!
Reyes kicked a cross from the wing and was unmarked.The Villarreal central defenders in the middle thought that the referee would award them a free kick, but the referee's gesture signaled the game to continue.

At this time, they had already seen Henry who was going forward.

If you can't catch up, what should you do?

Villarreal's defenders had a disagreement at this time, and the three of them took a step forward to make an offside.But Alsoo, who came off the bench, lacked the experience and tacit understanding to cooperate with his teammates, so he was dragged to the end!
"Henry! Onside!"

"What will he do?"

Henry appeared in the penalty area, and it happened to be the position where the referee had just disallowed his goal.

This time, Henry fired the ball into the goal again.

Then he looked back at the referee.

The referee smiled and pointed to the middle circle: the goal is valid!
"goooooooooooooooal! King of Highbury!"

"Henry scored! It was in the offside position just now!"

"The Gunners are ahead, Villarreal will be sad!"

After scoring the goal, Henry ran to Reyes, and hugged him tightly: "Thank you, Antonio!"

Henry knew that this was Highbury's last Champions League home game, so he wanted to score a goal to express his gratitude to this stadium.

He spent eight years at the stadium, and his affection for it was like that of a father.From his debut at Highbury to now, he has scored more than 100 goals, and the Highbury stadium is watching him silently, and now is the time for this stadium to retire.

To you, Highbury!
Henry picked a bunch of grass from Highbury Stadium and put it on his chest.

This action touched the fans of the entire Highbury Stadium. They stood up one after another, imitated Henry's action, clenched their left hand and pressed it deeply to their chest.

"Highbury!"

"Highbury!!"

"Highbury!!!"

The fans began to spontaneously shout Highbury's name, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, sweeping the place like a flame.

Under the scorching of this flame, more than 2000 Villarreal fans who came with the team shivered, and all their fighting spirit was evaporated without a trace by the flame.

Hosick looks like a defeated rooster, how can he not get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river?He walked over and patted Wenta who was still lying on the ground: "Man, get up, the opponent scored a goal!"

Wenta curled up on the ground, his face turned pale, and he squeezed out intermittently: "I...fuck! Fuck...Spanish...Call me...call the team doctor! Hiss..."

The last sound was painful.

Reyes' elbow was fierce and ruthless, Venta's weakest abdomen was hit, and he almost fainted from the pain.

Josic quickly called the team doctor over.

Fortunately, it was just a flawed injury, and Hosico returned to the court after a short rest.It's just that he still limps a little while running, and he covers his abdomen with his hands from time to time, which looks quite funny.

After the re-kick-off, Arsenal's offensive wave after wave, most of Villarreal's players can only defend hard, only Riquelme is still looking for opportunities through his super personal ability.

In this game, Arsenal did not send a special person to mark Riquelme. More often, only the Brazilian Gilberto Silva followed Riquelme alone.

The referee's soft penalty not only benefited Villarreal, but also gave Gilberto an opportunity.

As a defensive midfielder, it is also an ability to judge the penalty scale of the referee.

If Inzaghi is an elf active on the offside line, then the midfielder is an elf active on the line of fouls and yellow cards.

Grasping the referee's penalty scale and controlling the action in a position where the referee will not judge is the "hidden talent" of a midfielder.As the position most likely to get a card, the midfielder must also learn to "change himself"!
So Gilberto clung to Riquelme, preventing him from making any moves.

Although his defense is not top-notch, it makes Riquelme, an Argentine, very awkward.

Against the Argentines, the Brazilians are always very motivated!
Of course, at this time Riquelme can always find a way to get rid of Gilberto.

But he found himself caught up in Arsenal's "people's war".

Riquelme past Gilberto, Hleb pounces; Riquelme past Hleb, Petit Française; Riquelme past Petit Faye, this time Reyes pounces again come up...

After Villarreal's players were suppressed by Arsenal in the penalty area, Riquelme looked so helpless alone...
