Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Chapter 358: Entering the chess game with your own body, a huge reversal at home (page 12)

"aoaoaoooooooo——"

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was fanatical, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.

In the 80th minute of the game, Arsenal made their second substitution adjustment. Coquelin replaced Kante, who had a yellow card on his back, to maintain a strong defense in the middle.

By this time in the game, the starting players' physical fitness had dropped significantly, and their activity areas had dropped significantly.

Wenger and Enrique stood in their respective command and technical areas and paced back and forth, looking up at the game on the court from time to time. It was easy to see the tension in their hearts with their solemn expressions.

A goal at this stage almost means a sure win.

No one... dares to make any defensive mistakes.

But the offense is proactive, and the defense always makes passive choices based on changes in the offense.

Maintaining absolute concentration on the game is fundamental to completing the pre-match plan.

Time is getting shorter and shorter, and both Arsenal fans and Barcelona fans are feeling more and more pressure.

Once a goal is conceded at this time, it means that the home team is out.

During the halftime break, Messi was still full of confidence. Now that his physical energy is nearly exhausted, he is more likely to accumulate energy by walking to see if he can take advantage of Arsenal's defensive players' lack of concentration and find an opportunity to kill the game.

He knows that scoring a goal means the game is over!

However, the Arsenal team, with Martin's encouragement from time to time, was high-spirited and confident in the game.

Last season's Champions League final was like this.

Everyone thought Real Madrid was going to win the championship.

The results of it?

Martin scored the winning goal.

Arsenal players believe that even if Barcelona maintains the current score until injury time, captain Martin will have a chance to complete the winning goal.

It is precisely because of this that Arsenal players were able to remain highly focused and did not give MSN any chance.

The defense against Messi and Neymar was particularly good.

The time came to the 85th minute.

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice became solemn: "Arsenal has the last five minutes of regular time, plus at most nine minutes of injury time. It is enough to score a goal, but the time before the goal is It takes a long time to lay the groundwork, and now Barcelona is still leading the attack..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Neymar, who received a pass from Busquets, used Alba's advance to suddenly cut in, intending to use his superb footwork to see if he could create an absolute scoring opportunity.

It was still the same as the previous offense. Arsenal's overall defense was very good, and the protection between defensive players was very good.

In this regard, Neymar could only kick the ball back and hand it to Rakitic, who would continue to organize the attack.

Soon enough, Neymar turned around and caught someone approaching. His excellent footwork and quick reaction played a crucial role at this moment.

The outside instep of his right foot pushed the ball towards the oncoming Walcott. Walcott subconsciously closed his legs and it was already too late.

Thinking of head coach Wenger mentioning not to foul easily before coming on as a substitute, he could only watch helplessly as Neymar dodged past from the other side.

Neymar, who had just got rid of Walcott, returned to control the football with a calm smile. Unexpectedly, Martin, who was playing with Busquets in the middle a second ago, actually appeared in his path to pass the ball through his crotch.

Martin defended decisively and stretched out his foot to get the ball away first.

Neymar felt bad, knowing the high threat of Martin stealing the ball and counterattacking. He used the inertia to raise his leg to trip someone without a chance to get the ball.

They were very close to each other. Martin dodged the first move, but was unable to avoid Neymar's second additional leg lift.

"Beep~"

Neymar's raised right foot tripped Martin's trailing left foot. Referee Kuipers immediately blew his whistle to signal Neymar for a foul.

Enrique, who was standing in the technical area directed by the visiting team coach, let out a sigh of relief. When he saw Martin stealing the ball, his heart was in his throat.

Luckily fortunately!

"papappaapaaaaa——"

Thunderous applause suddenly erupted over the Emirates Stadium.

Enrique thought about the wrong style of painting. Shouldn't Neymar kick Martin to face the anger of the home fans?

What's the big deal?

Strong uneasiness swept the whole place instantly.

Could it be...

He looked up toward the court.

Neymar was seen holding his head in his hands in shock.

Referee Kuipers, who was about one meter away, withdrew the yellow card and instead took out a red card from his trouser pocket.

a second ago.

The referee Kuipers whistled for Neymar's foul and took out a yellow card from his chest pocket. Then he saw that the card recorded the number of the Barcelona player who received the card already had the number '11', so he took out another yellow card from his pocket. A red card.

Seeing this, Enrique subconsciously raised his hands and covered his head.

"Two yellows turn one red!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "Neymar received his second yellow card of the game and was sent off!"

Neymar, who committed the foul, also tried to explain, and Suarez, Messi, Busquets and other players also tried to persuade the referee Kuipers to take back his life.

A key player was sent off with four minutes left in regular time, which undoubtedly broke the balance since the beginning of the second half. Arsenal, who were only one goal away from being able to reverse the promotion, will definitely have their morale boosted and will most likely use the remaining game time. Score the winning goal.

Kuipers was resolute in the face of the pressure from Barcelona players and believed that Neymar's foul was enough to warrant a second yellow card.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said loudly: "There is no problem with this yellow card. If Martin catches up with the ball, Arsenal is likely to get an excellent counterattack opportunity. Neymar's foul undoubtedly prevented a potential scoring opportunity. , and he also has an obvious leg-raising movement."

Flores, the commentator from Catalan Sports TV, complained in a deep voice, complaining that Kuipers's sentence was too harsh.

He also specifically stated that such an important game should try to maintain the balance of the game rather than break the balance.

Barcelona fans in front of the TV and traveling with the team were shouting words such as 'black whistle' and 'targeting'.

If Arsenal fans knew this, they would certainly object.

Haven't you been taken care of enough?

Such a tactical foul that undermines the counterattack is an undisputed yellow card.

If you want to blame, just ask whether it was necessary for Neymar to receive a yellow card in the first half.

Seeing that referee Kuipers had no intention of changing the decision, the Barcelona stars sighed in unison.

Enrique looked at the warm-up area, but there was no suitable substitution.

Neymar is an offensive player, so he should ensure defense in the remaining game time and maintain the current score until the end of the game. There is no need to change.

After all, Suarez has height and is guaranteed to defend set pieces.

Messi is the star player, so he naturally doesn't dare to change. Even if he is not in good physical condition, he can have a deterrent effect as long as he stays on the court.

Just like Arsenal's Martin, he can bring hope to the players on the field while putting tremendous pressure on the opponent.
