Chapter 97
He was not angry at the goals his team had conceded, but at the panic, bewilderment and low-level mistakes that had been shown by his players after those two goals, such as Szczesny's mistake that led to Juan Mata's follow-up shot, or Mertesacker's misplacement that allowed John Terry to get his hands on the ball with ease.
The Arsenal players were afraid to turn their heads to look at Arsene Wenger on the pitchside, and one by one they kept their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking.
Leng Fei clenched his fists, things were starting to be a little wrong, he would never allow himself to be beaten by his opponent on the court without fighting back, he had to do something.
"Guys......" Leng Fei walked to the edge of the penalty area, where most of the Arsenal players gathered, some of them sat on the ground, some leaned against the post, and did not say a word.
Leng Fei cleared his throat, and when he was about to continue speaking, an angry roar came from behind him: "What are you guys doing!! ”
A loud shout alarmed the Arsenal players who stayed in the penalty area, everyone raised their heads and looked at the source of the sound, it was Van Persie, he walked back from the front, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, Leng Fei was very close to Van Persie, and he clearly saw the green tendons on Van Persie's arms that burst out because of his fists.
"Even if the coach doesn't say it, I have to say it for the coach, your performance is just a piece of shit! What's going on in your head? Want to relive the shame of 8:2, don't you? Van Persie's voice is very loud, but no one dares to refute it, after Cesc Fabregas left, Van Persie was the team's selected captain, and the vice-captain Vermaelen was unable to play in this game because of injury, so Van Persie is the absolute authority of this game.
"Cheer up! If you still think you're a man, stand up! Van Persie pointed to the Chelsea goal, and the rabid Chelsea fans behind them, "Down with them!" Shut them up! ”
Leng Fei walked over and stood with Van Persie: "Guys, score, we have us, but the defense depends on you." This is a phrase that Leng Fei often said in Ajax, and when he got here, he also said the same thing.
Van Persie looked at Leng Fei beside him and nodded vigorously: "That's right, we can definitely score, but what about you?" ”
Koscielny was the first to stand up, he was a central defender, defense was his first priority, and he stood up and said, more authoritatively: "That's right, don't let Robin isolate them, big guys cheer up!" ”
Originally, those who were sitting on the ground stood up one by one, and the words of Van Persie and Leng Fei made them feel guilty, and the goals they had worked so hard to score turned into jokes within a few minutes, and these were all thanks to them.
In blunt English, Mertesacker said, "There will be no more mistakes!" ”
Santos and Julu also nodded one after another, as defenders, they have to step up.
Van Persie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his teammates: "We haven't lost yet!" It's time to go! Towards victory! ”
At this time, Wenger had already returned to his seat, and he suddenly felt that all this was amazing, because he had just said that Leng Fei could wear the captain's armband in the future, and he had suffered such a serious blow, could it be a test arranged by God for Leng Fei? Once, a test for the prospective captain?
With about 25 minutes left in the game, Arsenal launched a fierce attack with two goals down, but in the eyes of Chelsea fans, Arsenal's attack was nothing more than a dying struggle and would not have any impact on Chelsea's goal, after all, being scored three goals in a row is not something anyone can afford, and they feel that Arsenal have been completely fooled.
Villas-Boas stood on the sidelines, waving his hands and asking his team to drop back to defend with two goals in hand, and with more than 20 minutes left in the game, Boas made a substitution, replacing Bosingwa with Alex, who defended better, Branislav Ivanovic switched to right-back, Terry and Alex in the middle, and it looked like Chelsea were going to shrink their defence.
Arsenal don't care what changes Chelsea make, what they have to do now is to equalize, but time is running out, they are a little anxious, Wenger walked up again, on the sidelines, told the players on the field, tell them not to be anxious, Wenger can do so much, the next thing is up to the players themselves, he walked back to the dugout.
In the stands, Chelsea's fans seemed enthusiastic and singing, while Arsenal's fans were obviously a little sluggish, although the number of fans on both sides was actually about the same, but Chelsea's fans obviously overpowered Arsenal.
Time passed minute by minute, Boas was very satisfied with the team's performance, and after that, he stopped standing on the sidelines to supervise the game, slowly returned to the coach's box, sat down with peace of mind, and looked at Wenger sitting in the opposite coach's box, although there was no anxious application on the other side's face, but Boas did not feel that Wenger had a chance to win, he smiled, and then withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the field.
Whether it's the fans on both sides, the manager or the situation on the pitch, it reflects the fact that Chelsea are ahead of Arsenal and the clock is getting closer and closer.
There are ten minutes left in the game! On the scoreboard, Chelsea's score of 4:2 Arsenal is still the same, some Arsenal fans have begun to leave the stadium early, some fans can't bear to see their team continue to be led by their rivals, and some fans are dissatisfied with the performance of the players today, they chose to leave early.
At this time, the broadcast camera deliberately gave the away fans at Stamford Bridge, where patches of blank space had already begun to appear, while the main stand was still blue.
Boas felt that the game had basically been won, so he began to chat and laugh with assistant coach Di Matteo, felt in his pocket, took out two pieces of gum, put one in his mouth, and threw the other one to Di Matteo, and the two ate gum and looked at the field.
In fact, it didn't take long for Villas-Boas and Roberto Di Matteo to chew gum before Chelsea conceded a goal.
Prior to this, Wenger took the lead in making substitutions, replacing Arteta with a stronger impact Arshavin, giving Ramsey the responsibility of organizing the attack to Ramsey, Ramsey also lived up to expectations, and Arshavin made a beautiful pass, the ball returned to Ramsey's feet again, but through the previous series of cooperation, Ramsey can clearly see the running position of his teammates in the penalty area and the vacancy vacated by the opponent's defender, Ramsey did not hesitate, a straight stop, the ball rolled directly into the penalty area, Frank Lampard's sliding tackle didn't touch the ball.
"Ou! Ramsey's through ball tore through the Chelsea defence in one fell swoop! What a wonderful pass......" Martin Taylor sighed.
Ramsey's pass suddenly caused chaos in the Chelsea defence, and in the penalty area, Terry stared at Van Persie and did not give him a chance to receive the ball comfortably.
However, Van Persie was not locked by Terry, turned around, Van Persie leaned on Terry's pressing with his body, and then, without the expectation of Cech and Terry, he suddenly knocked the ball with his heel and hit the goal directly!
The ball is very slow, usually this kind of ball is the goalkeeper's favorite, but this is too sudden, when Cech grabbed the ball with both hands, it was already in the goal line, and then took the ball out, Van Persie immediately raised his hand to signal the goal, and the referee was not ambiguous, signaling that the goal was valid.
Cech frowned and threw the ball to Van Persie, who simply high-fived Leng Fei and Ramsey who ran up to celebrate the goal, and then ran back to the halfway circle, put the ball in the middle of the field, and then walked back, urging the referee to hurry up and start the game.
The Chelsea players slowly returned to their positions before the ball was cleared.
4:3! Arsenal fans' eyes lit up, this game has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, there is still a chance! Some of the fans who had also wanted to leave the stadium early took their seats again, and I don't know who started it, and then the Arsenal fans who remained at Stamford Bridge began to sing at the same time, hoping to inspire the players to continue to strive through their own singing.
Arsenal has fewer than 10,000 fans, but they are not lost to Chelsea fans in terms of momentum, because only in this way can the Arsenal players know that there are still fans with them.
Arsenal's players were red-eyed, and after kick-off, they did not hesitate to force Chelsea, although Wenger did not tell the players to implement the tactics of full-court pressing, but in order to win, no one can care so much, fans and no matter whether Arsenal plays well or not, at the moment, winning or equalizing is the most important thing.
'There are four minutes left until the end of the game, not counting injury time, and there should be about three minutes of injury time, which is not easy for Arsenal, especially when Chelsea have started to shrink their defence. Lineker said.
Looking at the field again, the Chelsea players patiently controlled the ball, while the Arsenal players kept pressing up, if the fans who have just turned on the TV will definitely think that they are wrong, when did Chelsea play possession? Arsenal's tactics are full-pitch pressing? Did everyone on both teams exchange jerseys?
However, looking at the score and time, it is not difficult to understand the match between Arsenal and Chelsea, some time before the game, the ups and downs were extremely exciting, but now it is an attack and a defense, and it is extremely boring.
But football is football, and in football, there are some characteristics that are recognized, and before the whistle blows at the end of the game, you can't make an absolute conclusion about how many points the score of the game will be, some pre-match predictions, Paul the Octopus, or Pele's curse? It's just a representation of good luck and bad luck to the extreme, and they only predict victory and defeat, choosing one of the two.
In the midst of the boredom of the game, the bright spot came as Chelsea controlled the ball and began to move forward slowly, trying to control Arsenal's annoying pressing into their own half, making their own half less threatening, but it was the thought that made them concede the goal.
The goal was fatal, Mikel passed the ball to Lampard, he didn't even notice that Walket had run from behind him, the moment Mikel passed the ball, he felt a strong resistance behind him, Mikel staggered, the ball was soft, and slowly rolled towards Lampard.
Frank Lampard was shocked, Mikel dropped the chain at this crucial moment and immediately ran up to receive the ball, if he got the ball, then all the threat was gone, but what if he didn't get the ball?
"Song! He won the duel against Frank Lampard! Song's long pass is another scoring weapon for Arsenal, let's see, this time...... Strike! Van Persie, grabbing the point was very timely, and a single knife was formed in an instant! Opportunity!!! Martin Taylor's voice instantly raised, clenching his fists.
On the sidelines, Wenger and Boas stood up at the same time, Boas rushed to the sidelines, the look on his face was uneasy and panicked, while Wenger was expectant, he believed that his proud disciple would definitely seize this opportunity.
The one-on-one heads-up between goalkeeper and striker is always one of the most exciting and heart-pounding duels on the football field, and this time, world-class goalkeeper Petr Cech and world-class striker Robin van Persie will undoubtedly make neutral fans excited.
Van Persie faced Cech, at this moment, Van Persie looked very calm, compared to a slightly unprepared Cech, Van Persie chose to shoot, the ball went over Cech's head, although Cech's reaction was fast, but he still slowed the ball, stretched out his arm and did not touch the ball, Cech fell in front of Van Persie, Van Persie also fell together with Cech because of the unstable center of gravity after the shot, but the eyes of the two people were focused on the goal behind them at the same time.
The ball fell into the net and Stamford Bridge's huge scoreboard paused for 4:3 and then 4:4.
Stamford Bridge fell into a deathly silence, but the silence lasted only half a second, and the away stands at Stamford Bridge erupted.
Red, all the eyes are big red, the Arsenal fans who stayed on the pitch are crazy, waving their hands wildly, they don't know what to do, they just blindly shout in their seats and even in other people's seats, waving everything in their hands to wield it, and it is said that a stadium manager at Stamford Bridge picked up two broken iPhones while cleaning the pitch after the game......
Hat-trick! Not only did this goal help Arsenal draw against Chelsea, Van Persie also won an accolade of his own, a hat-trick! At Stamford Bridge, a real hat-trick! A hat-trick with the help of Leng Fei, Ramsey and Song!
Van Persie opened his arms and roared towards the Arsenal fans, behind him, Leng Fei, Walcott, Arshavin, Ramsey, Djoul, Koscielny, Santos, Song, Mertesacker rushed up one by one, celebrating the goal, if it wasn't too far, Szczesny would also rush up to celebrate the goal with his teammates, he also waved his fist wildly in the penalty area, venting his frustration of being shot four times in a row.
On the commentary bench, Martin Taylor also roared and almost lost his voice, Lineker was analysing the goal on the side, and Stamford Bridge was plunged into a sea of red, representing the blue of Chelsea, and under the pressure of red, there was not much to be seen......
Wenger swung his fist vigorously on the sidelines, and when Van Persie formed a single knife, Wenger was already a little unable to hold back the excitement in his heart, but until Van Persie scored the ball, the big stone in Wenger's heart finally fell to the ground, followed by the ecstasy brought by the goal, however, Wenger is not good at celebrating wildly when scoring a goal on the opposite side, Boas, who jumped up and down when he lost the ball, just waved his fist a few times and walked back to the coach's seat with a smile on his face.
The fourth official on the sidelines then lifted up the stoppage time for a total of three minutes, but at this point, no one noticed the fourth official next to him.
There was a long celebration, and it wasn't until the referee came up to remind the Arsenal players that they were ready to kick off again, and the players staggered back to their positions.
In the next game, the two sides fought for the ball in the midfield, but maybe the game was coming to an end, and the Chelsea players were very unhappy to be equalized at the last moment, and they had no intention of fighting, and Arsenal also felt that a draw was hard-won, and the two sides did not deliberately create any chances, just fought for the ball in the midfield, but really got the ball, and did not organize any attack, and three minutes passed quickly.
In midfield, the referee ran to the midfield, and with a few seconds of stoppage time, he planned to blow the whistle as soon as the time was up.
At 92:57, he took the whistle in his mouth.
Now it is Arsenal who controls the ball, Ramsey passed the ball to Leng Fei, Leng Fei glanced at the referee, who was already about to blow the whistle at the end of the game, Leng Fei felt that there was nothing wrong at first, so he broke through twice with the ball, ready to wait for the whistle to sound, but he glanced at it and suddenly found that maybe Cech also found that the referee had put the whistle in his mouth and was about to blow it, so his vigilance relaxed a lot at once, and he stood very forward, what if he tried to shoot at this time?
Leng Fei became excited all of a sudden, he thought of another thing, when he was at Ajax, when he was against Real Madrid, he completed a task and obtained two "shot sights", used one against AC Milan, and one more, which is still in his own place, at this time, isn't it the best time to use it?
There wasn't much time left, Leng Fei thought of it, and acted immediately, in his mind, the shooting sight was activated, and then, Leng Fei's legs began to swing, pulled out a very exaggerated posture, and threw the ball into the air, of course, it was not an ordinary juggling ball, but drove towards the goal with all his might.
Seeing Leng Fei's movements, the referee looked at his watch, and there was still a second, he decided to look at the ball, and if it didn't go in, he would blow the game directly.
"Kim kicked up front and it looked like there was little more hope for the game, so it's past stoppage time...... I grass!! Lineker suddenly spat out a swear word that even he didn't realize.
"God!! The ball went in? Let's see what the referee decides, the goal is valid!! There was no end of the game whistle before King's shot!!! Goal valid!!!!!!!! Martin Taylor's voice hesitated for several seconds before it rang out at Stamford Bridge.
In fact, before he spoke, the entire Stamford Bridge was silent, deathly silent, the huge Stamford Bridge stadium, the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard, the Chelsea players were stunned, and the Arsenal players were opening their mouths wide.
"Ladies and gentlemen!! All the spectators here!! Viewers in front of the TV! Please don't doubt the score in front of you, 5:4!! Yes, in the 93rd minute, the final minute of the game including stoppage time, by Arsenal's No. 27 player, Kim! Completed the whistle stunner against Chelsea!! An ultra-long-range lob of more than 50 meters!! Martin Taylor thought he would be crazy and didn't know what to say, but at this moment, he seemed very calm, fulfilled his duties as a narrator, and then, he turned off the microphone, leaned back in his seat, and slammed his hands on the table to vent his excitement.
After the goal, the referee used his whistle to announce this ups and downs, thrilling game like a Hollywood blockbuster, this game, will undoubtedly become one of the most frightening games enforced by the professional referee named Deurso, this game, the number of goals is no longer the keyword, but "reversal", the second half just began, it was Chelsea 3:2 reversal of the original 2:1 lead Arsenal, and then expanded the score, but at the last moment, Van Persie's hat trick +Leng Fei's brace reversed Chelsea 5:4, these two classic reversals, enough to become one of the classic games of the red and blue war in recent years, this season, coupled with the upstart Manchester City's 6:1 bloody defeat in Old Trafford, the biggest defeat in Manchester United's history, this season's strong dialogue has been as many as four big scores.
Leng Fei was stunned for a few seconds, although he felt that he should be able to score, although the two shot sights gave him a taste of sweetness, but he still couldn't believe that he really did it, but when he reacted, he found that he was the first of so many players and more than 20 players to react.
He rushed to the sidelines, took off his shirt and waved it wildly in his hand, he was not afraid of eating a yellow card, he would eat one, and the game was over, Deurso would definitely not give himself a yellow card, Leng Fei waved his shirt with confidence, rushed to the side of the away stands, opened his mouth and roared, and then threw the jersey high and threw it to the fan base, the fans had come back to their senses at this time, they were all crazy, shouting Leng Fei's name one by one, Leng Fei threw up the jersey, It has long been snatched to pieces by the crazy fans, despite this, the fans are still very careful to tear off part of themselves into their bags, and their clothes have long been soaked with sweat, but no fans care about these, and the sweat stains on them are a portrayal of the players' hard work on the field.
However, Leng Fei was not finished yet, his teammates rushed up one by one, Walcott took the lead in pulling Leng Fei to the ground, and then pressed up, Van Persie rushed up and pressed on the second, followed by Ramsey, Arshavin, Song ......
At first, Leng Fei didn't feel anything, but there were more and more people stacking on him, Leng Fei suddenly felt Alexander, waving his hands in the air, struggling desperately and yelling: "Kill me!" Get up!!!! ”
