Football: The Hand that Covers the Sky - Chapter 418

“The hand of football covers the sky (

Arsenal took the initiative in the first half of the first half, but in the second half, Chelsea began to take the initiative.

Derby can really stimulate players and help them recover. Is the Chelsea lineup poor?

Of course not, Chelsea is stronger than Arsenal on paper alone, but Arsenal’s record this season is terrible, and it can even be said that this is the worst league start since the Russian oligarch entered Chelsea.

However, Chelsea has undergone a qualitative change with the Derby, and after taking the initiative, Arsenal tried to regain the initiative, but because of a player’s irrationality, the game completely fell to the side.

In the forty-fifth minute of the first half, Koscielny and Diego Costa clashed in a fight. After Koscielny made a clearance, he became angry and pushed to Koscielny.

If only this is the case, Arsenal must have the advantage, because Diego Costa’s push to Koscielny was enough for the referee to pay the card.

But Paulista rushed towards Diego Costa. Paulista’s mood can actually be understood. This is his first start in a derby, and it is his chance to get Wenger’s approval to impress Arsenal fans.

However, there is a saying called good intentions to do bad things. Paulista’s anxiety eventually ruined himself and the team. Paulista rushed over and had a fierce conflict with Diego Costa.

McDean decisively took out a yellow card to the two men. Originally, Paulista’s yellow card was completely avoidable, but his impulse gave the referee a chance to play.

But this was not over yet. Just as Paulista was about to turn around and leave, Diego Costa deliberately followed Paulista to chatter, and the two clashed again.

Diego Costa is notorious for playing dirty, and this guy is still a softer and harder.

This time the referee didn’t draw the card, just warned the two, but when he thought the incident subsided again, Paulista suddenly kicked Diego Costa.

Although Paulista deliberately blocked the referee and stretched his foot backwards, in fact, this did not take out the referee’s eyes. Naturally, Diego Costa would not let go of the opportunity, and immediately fell on the lawn with a painful look.

With a red card, McDean directly took out a red card to send Paulista away.

“Faced with Diego Costa, Paulista is still too young.” There is no doubt that Paulista did a stupid thing, but Diego Costa is indeed dirty.

“The balance of the game is starting to tilt.” When McDean took out the red card, Arsenal was completely passive.

Seeing the red card handed out by the referee, Paulista was stunned. Derby’s red card was actually nothing, but Paulista himself did not get the approval of Arsenal, plus he got the red card. ‘S very stupid.

On the sidelines, Wenger’s face is ashen. Although Arsenal has Li Shou, Li Shou will face a lot more difficulties if he is sent off. Not only does Arsenal have to lose one person, there is no central defender rotation on the bench. .

The same ugly face as Wenger is Chambers, because based on the player’s position on the bench at the moment, he is the player most likely to be replaced.

“Callum” Wenger’s voice proved Chambers’ idea.

During the time for Chambers to warm up, Wenger was caught in a dilemma, that is, who is better, and in the current situation, Arsenal can only replace one of Giroud or Griezmann.

Giroud’s state is not as hot as Griezmann, but Giroud’s tactical role is higher than Griezmann’s, but Griezmann’s state is too hot this season. He scored four goals in the first five league games. One of the guarantees of Arsenal’s victory.

In the stands, the Arsenal fans fell into silence, while Chelsea cheered. In the eyes of Chelsea fans, their team has already won the game.

At the end of Chambers’ warm-up, the first half of the game was over. The referee gave three minutes of stoppage time. Although Chelsea launched a strong attack in these three minutes, they only had one shot in the face of Arsenal who had fully retreated. And the shot was confiscated by Li Shou.

Wenger made a decision after returning to the locker room. Chambers replaced Griezmann. Wenger also explained a few words about Griezmann who was in hot form, so Griezmann didn’t say anything.

As for Paulista, the Arsenal players apologized for their brain damage the first time they returned to the locker room, and the Arsenal players naturally would not blame it.

It is inevitable for players to make mistakes. No one can guarantee that they will not be mentally disabled or make mistakes. What’s more, everyone can guess what Paulista thinks.

No player wants to be the title of parallel imports, if it weren’t for Mertesacker’s injury, Paulista would have been sitting on the bench.

Although Derby does not need tactics, Arsenal can only withdraw slightly ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and see if they can give Chelsea a fatal blow when the number of players is at a disadvantage.

But unfortunately, Arsenal did not get this opportunity. Although Li Shou created two opportunities for Arsenal, both opportunities were resolved when Chelsea paid a yellow card.

Compared to Arsenal’s two truly threatening opportunities, Chelsea bombarded Arsenal’s goal in the second half with an advantage in numbers.

Throughout the second half, Chelsea shot a total of 15 shots, more than four times that of Arsenal, and in these 15 shots, Chelsea had four excellent opportunities.

For example, in an indirect free kick in the 60th minute, Fabregas sent the ball into the penalty area and the ball fell in front of the unguarded Zuma, who blasted a header that went straight to the dead corner and was resolved by Li Shou.

Nine minutes later, Arsenal’s defense made another mistake. Oscar received a pass near the penalty spot. The latter immediately took a shot and was resolved by Li Shou again.

In the 76th minute, Diego Costa squeezed Chambers and rushed into the penalty area. Li Shou decisively attacked. Costa tried to push the corner and was blocked by Li Shou with his leg.

In the 86th minute, Arsenal was hit again. In order to stop Hazard from fouling again, the referee took out his second yellow card in the game, and only nine members were left on the field.

Faced with this situation, Wenger used the last substitution place, Gibson replaced Griezmann, Arsenal can only fully retreat to keep this point.

And Arsenal did it in the end. With Li Shou’s defying performance, Chelsea could never break Arsenal’s goal.

Mourinho said sourly after the game: “Everything about Arsenal is based on Lee. If it were not for Lee, we could score at least three goals in this game.”
