On the pitch, at this time, the Arsenal players had already gathered together, and the crowd was excited, and the referee Andre Marriner was surrounded by water.

Chamberlain and Gibbs were already standing at the front of the referee, and Gibbs was still very excited to defend on the spot.

Although it is said that in the Premier League and even European football, it is rare to see such an excessive siege of referees, but this time for Arsenal's players, it seems to be excusable.

Even if Li Xuan was the fourth official of the game, he was a little confused and puzzled at this time, and he didn't know what the referee Andre Marriner was doing.

Whether it was the situation that Li Xuan observed with his own eyes, or whether he turned on the magical ability again at the right moment to re-interpret the situation that had just happened in his mind.

That process is very clear that just now when Chelsea player Eden Hazard attacked and kicked the football, it was Oxlade-Chamberlain who appeared in the far corner of Arsenal's goal, and he also subconsciously used a hand that only goalkeepers can use to hit the ball, took the initiative to change the line of the football, hit the goal range, and went straight to the outside of the field!

It can be said that Oxlade-Chamberlain used a textbook goalkeeper posture to deliberately change Chelsea's must-score chances and profit for Arsenal in the first round. So, he should have been shown a red card and given Chelsea the next penalty, which is a well-deserved decision.

But I don't know why the referee Andre Marriner showed Gibbs a red card?

"Lee, Andre Marriner referee what he's doing, Gibbs didn't foul, no problem, why give him a red card?"

Arsenal's head coach Mr. Wenger, as expected, has never settled down at all, and at this moment, after discovering the extremely unfavorable scene for Arsenal, he hurriedly ran to the fourth official Li Xuan's side, trying to influence Li Xuan to get the opportunity to change the passive penalty on the field. And, he did have strong doubts about Gibbs' red card.

Li Xuan didn't answer Coach Wenger's question immediately, just signaled him not to be too excited, and then immediately turned into the intercom earphone in his ear and asked referee Andre Marriner in real time: "Hi, Andre, what are you doing, why did you give Gibbs a red card?"

However, perhaps Andre Marriner was a little flustered by the Arsenal players on the scene, or the noise of the surrounding fans was noisy, he did not hear the meaning of Li Xuan's questioning, but replied very casually and simply: "It's normal, he fouled and deliberately handballed, so I want to give him a red card." ”

"Andre, it was a foul by Chamberlain just now, why do you want to give Gibbs a red card, you are mistaken!" No matter what angle it is, Li Xuan still has to immediately put forward his correct suggestions and feedback to the referee Andre Marriner in time.

After all, not to mention that the surrounding fans have been made to boo, just the impact of the penalty on the game may be complained and attacked by more media fans and experts after the game, so we must be cautious at this moment.

As a referee, you should not only be worthy of the players on both sides of the field, but also be as correct as possible, so that you can have authority.

"No, I saw it very clearly, it was him who fouled. Lee, I know you're very good, you're a first-class referee. But after all, I was at the scene, closer to the scene of the incident, and you must not have looked as carefully as I did. I'm glad you reminded me, but I don't think I made a mistake. ”

Andre Marriner still said very confidently, and then continued to ignore Chamberlain's constant "me, me, me" in front of him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sidelines of Li Xuan's side, signaling Gibbs on the side to leave the field quickly!

Seeing that the wood was in the boat and could not be changed, Gibbs had no choice but to be helpless, and he was very aggrieved and shocked and kept shaking his head, and walked slowly towards the side of the court, full of unwillingness.

"No, Andrei, you should listen to me, you really punished the wrong person. Chamberlain fouled, not Gibbs. Li Xuan tried to communicate with Andre Marriner again.

At the same time, he also has to face Arsenal's left-back Gibbs is walking towards him with regret, and Coach Wenger is still jumping on the side and muttering: "What is the referee doing, he is officiating the Premier League game, not a joke, or, he has drunk? ”

"No, the penalty won't be wrong, that's it. I'm going to let the Chelsea players take a penalty, Lee!" Andre Marriner said very seriously, and then he even ignored Li Xuan, it seemed that he was really confident and didn't want to be affected.

Li Xuan spread his hands and made a gesture of powerlessness towards Wenger and Gibbs, who had already walked to his side.

"I'm sorry, both of you, I know it was a wrong decision, but obviously we have to respect Mr. Andre Marriner, he was the referee of the game after all, he was in charge. Of course, this penalty, needless to say, you don't have to argue anymore. ”

Gibbs subconsciously took the initiative to shake Li Xuan's hand gratefully, and then shook his head again and went to the locker room. He has already been sent off with a red card, so he might as well go back and take a shower first.

As for Coach Wenger, he was still unwilling, chattering endlessly: "The referee is committing a crime, he is persecuting us Arsenal, Lee, why don't you help us? Arsenal was originally a stronger team, but now it is falling behind because of the referee's mistakes, which is a serious disturbance to the balance of the game." ”

Li Xuan re-transferred his energy back to the penalty spot in the game, but sighed helplessly at Wenger again: "In this game, I am only a fourth official, and everything still needs to be listened to by the referee." I can only give him my personal advice, but I can't change his mind, I'm sorry!"

At the same time, Li Xuan couldn't help but complain about Wenger's arrangement in this game.

Not to mention the situation of few red cards, just the strange formation that floated at the beginning has already announced that the result of Arsenal's game is not optimistic. But Wenger obviously failed to recognize why he was behind and why he was given a red card, but he was still struggling with the specific penalty of the red card that could not be changed.

Arsene Wenger, what a stubborn old man.
