Chapter 221: Knockdown and Red Card

Patrick Vieira's appearance brightened Arsenal's midfield, and he burst into a strong fighting force and dominance in an instant.

However, Notts County's adjustment also came soon, in order to suppress Arsenal's wide attack, Meireles and Mascherano two midfielders were relatively close to the two wings, but now that Arsenal has taken the initiative to change the direction of attack, then the two of them can also appropriately increase the range of activities.

Even, before the game, Loew also arranged a full-time task for Mascherano, as long as Vieira played, then Mascherano's position would be advanced and become a full-time marking striker, his role was to entangle Vieira and make him unable to play his maximum role.

Although Patrick Vieira is the world's top midfielder, and only Keane can compete with him in the entire Premier League, this is not to say that Vieira is a god and he also has weaknesses.

It seems that Mascherano is not good-looking and not tall and strong, but it is definitely not for nothing to be called a beast midfielder, and if he is asked to give up all his work and revolve around Vieira, it will buzz like a fly, which is enough to make Vieira uncomfortable.

Whatever you run, I'll stick to you anyway, even if you go back to the Arsenal penalty area, I won't leave an inch, that's the principle that Mascherano adheres to.

I don't foul, I don't steal, I just can't catch the ball.

Because of Mascherano's close defense, Arsenal's players did not dare to pass the ball to Vieira, the core of the midfield, and the French iron waist had not touched the ball for several minutes, and all they could do was run back and forth, but they still couldn't catch the ball.

Vieira was a little annoyed, although being so targeted by the opponent was the opponent's recognition of his own strength, but the key was that if it went on like this, he could really squat on the sidelines and drink tea.

"You eggless guy, don't you dare wait for me to face me head-on when I get the ball?" Seeing his team-mates attacking him as if they were isolated from the team's system, Vieira couldn't help but rant at Mascherano.

Mascherano has long been reminded not to get into a verbal argument with Vieira on the field, and even if the French defender is provoked by himself, he must not confront him.

Seeing the little dwarf who was as annoying as a fly indifferent, looking at him expressionlessly, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery in his eyes, Vieira was even more furious.

Pushing Mascherano to the ground, Vieira bent down, put his head on Mascherano's head, and said with a hideous face: "Little man, if you dare to circle around me again, I will make you look good!" ”

Vieira thought that Mascherano would be stupid and didn't even dare to fart, so he could only tremble under his majesty, but what he didn't expect was that Mascherano looked at him with a trace of pity.

"Well, I'm not going to revolve around you, I'm still going to play on the field, goodbye!" Mascherano said with a bright smile.

What does that mean?

But before he could think about it, the referee had already come over and directly took out the red card and showed it to him.

Vieira reacted.

How could he possibly accept such a punishment?

Immediately ran to the referee's side and explained loudly, and the Arsenal players also gathered around and put pressure on the referee, hoping that the referee would cancel the decision.

His teammates pulled Mascherano up from the ground and laughed and praised him for a good job, making Mascherano even more proud.

"Sir, I really didn't mean to, and even so, I think a yellow card warning will do, and there is no need for a red card at all!" Vieira was still babbling on and on.

However, the referee ignored it completely, just upheld his own decision, and at the same time signaled Vieira to leave the field as soon as possible and not delay the game.

If the two sides are really entangled and push each other, and one player pushes the other player down, then it may be enough to deal with it as appropriate, maybe a yellow card will do.

But this time it was completely different, the game was going well, Vieira suddenly came like this, and in the eyes of the referee, even Vieira threatened Mascherano just now, the referee heard it clearly, if you don't punish you like this, will you still let you go to heaven!

Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Vieira took off his clothes violently, fell to the ground in a rage, and went down without looking back.

The boos of the Arsenal fans in the stands never stopped, they didn't care what the facts were, they had no principles, they only had positions, and it was not right to send their players off.

When Vieira left the field, the fans gave him warm applause and encouragement, and at this time, Vieira's face looked a little better.

"It's definitely not a red card, it's the other side who provoked first, it's so unfair to us!"

Arsene Wenger kept complaining to the fourth official on the sidelines, while Loew, who was not far away, clasped his hands and sneered silently.

The level of talking nonsense with open eyes is no longer SEI, tens of thousands of people are watching, and even hundreds of thousands of people are watching in front of the TV, so you shirk your responsibility?

In fact, Loew really didn't deliberately arrange Mascherano to provoke Vieira and design to let him go, Mascherano's defense did not make superfluous moves or verbal provocations, just to achieve his own tactical goals.

However, Loew's consideration was still relatively thorough, and even Vieira might be tempered by a temper was also considered, so he told Mascherano not to entangle with the angry other party, otherwise he really thought that Mascherano was muddy, and when it came to fighting, the beast was not afraid of anyone!

Now that Arsenal have been sent off, the balance of victory has tilted on the basis of the tilt, and once again it is only one step away from a win for Notts County.

Taking advantage of his illness and wanting his life, Loew immediately made personnel adjustments, replacing Mascherano with Sneijder, and the formation became the best 4231.

A full-time forward midfielder is bound to have better offensive ability than a defensive midfielder, and after missing the strongest point in the midfield, Arsenal's midfield has not had much resistance, and Sneijder's play can press Arsenal's backline more.

With one less person to fight, Arsenal's morale is already a little low, if Vieira was wrongfully sent off, maybe Arsenal's players can still provoke anger to attack a wave, but obviously, even they know that Vieira is purely looking for trouble, who can blame him!

At this point, the suspense of the game was not much, and Notts County did not rush to score, but played more control and control the game. (To be continued.) )
