Chapter 222 Don't cause trouble to the FA
Neither Notts County nor Arsenal scored until the end of the game, with Notts County beating Arsenal by a narrow goal away from home to knock out Arsenal and progress to the FA Cup semi-finals.
As the referee blew the final whistle, the Notts players hugged each other in celebration in what was arguably their most intense game of the season.
The pressure created by such a giant Arsenal made them feel extremely strong.
But they withstood the pressure, defeated their opponents, and completed their self-transcendence.
Arsenal have been trampled underfoot, even if they are not the strongest Arsenal.
It's a great feeling.
They ignored the earth-shattering boos from the stands and celebrated unbridled on the road, with Loew and David joining in the celebrations.
It's their best FA Cup result in more than 100 years, and while there are still two games to go, Arsenal have been knocked out by us, so who else can fight?
This game, which was not much watched, was a big upset, and Arsenal, who were very strong in the league and the Champions League, were eliminated at home by a League One team, which really surprised all fans.
Even though Arsenal is not the strongest team, the number one killer Henry has not played from beginning to end, and even though Notts County is not inferior to the average Premier League team despite the name of the League One team, everyone still thinks it is incredible.
You know, Notts County had already eliminated Arsenal in the FA Cup with extreme tactics last season, how could Arsenal not play with a revenge mentality in this game.
But even so, Notts County still won the regular contest, this time they did not use any tactics to put the bus forward, they used the overall strength to take on Arsenal, and the whole game did not fall behind.
Of course, there was a little surprise in the game, to the displeasure of Arsenal fans, the defensive midfielder in the Notts County team used despicable means to bring down their midfield iron Patrick Vieira, in their opinion, this is the key to Arsenal's defeat at this time.
But in the eyes of neutral fans, Vieira is completely his own death, and Mascherano did not provoke you, he completely implemented the manager's tactical arrangement, but you pushed people down, you are so impulsive, does your mother know?
And before Patrick Vieira came off, Arsenal were already behind the scoreline, and it would be no good to repeat that.
In his post-match press conference, Arsene Wenger unsurprisingly fired at Notts County.
'It's a shame that the win was stolen by thieves and we at Arsenal lost a game that we shouldn't have lost!' ’
That was Arsene Wenger's opening statement.
'My player was wronged, he was treated unfairly, it was the Notts County players who provoked the player before Vieira was forced to fight back, he didn't deserve that severe punishment, if Vieira was still on the pitch I don't think we would have lost. ’
'It's a shame that it's our home stadium at Arsenal but I feel like I'm playing away from home, of course, I'm not attacking the referee, I'm just expressing my feelings, that's all!' ’
When the reporters heard Wenger's speech, they immediately straightened their backs, Wenger fired a rare shot, and the big news came again.
'No! No! No! ’
Loew picked up the microphone and said-for-tat: 'Maybe Mr. Wenger should go to see an ophthalmologist and put on a pair of reading glasses, so that he can see more clearly and not babble!' ’
Not only the referees, but also the players on both sides, the fans in the stands and even the fans watching the broadcast in front of the TV were all clear, Mascherano did not have any provocative words or actions, we saw only a grumpy Vieira. ’
'We admit that Patrick Vieira is one of the best midfielders in the world, but that doesn't mean he has to have any special status on the pitch, fouls will be carded, serious fouls will be sent off, no one can be above the rules, doesn't Wenger know that? ’
Love's words made Wenger's face pale, but he couldn't refute it, he thought that the young coach of the other party would save some face for his senior, but he didn't expect that he was self-inflicted.
'Should Patrick Vieira be sent off with a red card, it's free to say, anyway, Arsenal will immediately want the FA to appeal to cancel Vieira's red card and apply for a replay of this game, we Arsenal do not accept such a result! ’
In the end, Wenger made a huffy gesture and then left in a rage.
Loew shrugged at the reporters in the audience and smiled a little weirdly.
He didn't expect Arsene Wenger, the Premier League coach, to be angry at this time, could he not afford to lose?
As long as David knows, Wenger's psychological quality is not strong, otherwise he would not often be complained about making stupid moves on the field.
No matter how Arsenal tosses after the game, Notts County will not pay attention to it, anyway, it has already won, and there is no need to worry about the FA making a replay penalty, not to mention that Vieira's approach is not bad if he is not punished by the FA, and he will appeal?
It's purely self-inflicted.
The next day, Notts County's win over Notts County was played across England, and the Premier League giants were knocked out of the FA Cup, which was not a surprise, but it depends on who the opponent is, even if it is a team at the bottom of the Premier League, presumably the fans will only say a word of upset, and will not be too shocked.
But Notts County is different, following last season's elimination of strong teams in the League Cup, this season has actually set off a bloody storm in the FA Cup, Arsenal and other Premier League giants have become their ghosts, is this to repeat the rhythm of last season's League Cup champions, this season to win the FA Cup?
Arsenal has not yet lost in the league, the title battle with Manchester United is fiercely staged, and there is still hope for the emergence of the Champions League, but in the FA Cup, it is really surprising!
Many media waited for Arsenal to appeal as Wenger said after the game, but after two days of waiting, they didn't wait for a fart, which made them disappointed.
When reporters surrounded Arsenal to inquire about the situation, Arsenal's press officers began to talk about him left and right.
'Because Arsenal have a dense schedule in the league and the Champions League, so strategically abandoning the FA Cup is a helpless move, we did not send all the main squad in the game, which is the best proof, not how strong the opponent Notts County is, but we don't take the game to heart, it's that simple! As for the appeal, after our high-level research, it was decided not to trouble the FA's work! (To be continued.) )
