Chapter 263: Wenger's Anxiety
"Shh!!h
"Red card! Red!! Fuck, he's murdering! Murder!! β
"Bastard, you don't want to get out of here alive! The cousin raised!! β
"Manchester United pigs, do you want to die?! It's Highbury, not damn Old Trafford!! β
......
Gary Neville's tackle on Reyes, in addition to making the Arsenal players on the field lose their temper and rush to the scene of the incident angrily, also instantly detonated the anger in the hearts of all Arsenal fans in the Highbury stands. After Gary Neville finished tackling Reyes, he got up and turned his head away, not even looking at the arrogance of curling up on the ground and howling in pain at the Spaniard, which made them angry.
How could they see how a Manchester United player could dare to behave so arrogantly after knocking down his own player at his home stadium.
It's just that no matter how they express their dissatisfaction with overwhelming boos and abuse, no matter how angry the Arsenal players complain to the referee, and even can't control their emotions and confront the Manchester United players fiercely again, the referee on duty can't punish Gary Neville for a foul regardless of the facts, let alone give him a yellow card.
Because, just now, the referee on duty not far from the place of the incident saw the entire process of Gary Neville's tackle clearly, and was very sure that the England main right wing-back tackled the ball first, and then touched Reyes, and there was no additional dangerous action of shining the soles.
If there is a problem, at most, it is a deliberate lack of strength, which makes the whole tackle look extraordinarily vicious, and then makes Reyes suffer some hard injuries that are not serious.
Perhaps in La Liga, which focuses on protecting technical players, this kind of action will be whistled for a foul, but in the fierce physical confrontation in the Premier League, it is all too common, and the referees have long been accustomed to it, and no matter what, they will not blow for fouls.
So, in the end, the referee on duty, who was under the pressure of boos from the Arsenal fans, just gave Gary Neville a verbal warning, telling him to control his emotions and range of movements in the next game.
Moreover, as for this verbal warning, he still gave it in consideration of taking care of the emotions of the Arsenal fans and Arsenal players at home, otherwise, if this game happened at Old Trafford, he would not have thought about it at all.
The referee thought that his decision was already the home whistle, favoring Arsenal and giving him a free kick opportunity in front, but Arsenal did not appreciate it.
In addition to the shrill boos of the Arsenal fans in the stands, the Arsenal players on the field are still angry and complaining to the referee, confronting the Manchester United players, and looking for Gary Neville to explain the matter, and the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on the sidelines couldn't sit still, and found the fourth official on the sidelines to complain fiercely: "They just want to brutally hurt our players, your duty should be to protect our players, not to sit back and watch them be maliciously physically abused, this is simply a crime!" β
Before the fourth official could speak, Ferguson, who also came to the side of the fourth official, was the first to choke out: "Is that so? My players are just trying to play games, aren't these bumps very common in football? You're too rare and weird, Monsieur ArsΓ¨ne, and your players aren't weak girls?! β
As soon as he heard this, Wenger was instantly choked and couldn't make a sound, and his face immediately darkened. These words were said by Vieira when he was complaining to the fourth official when Vieira tackled Vanney before, and now he was returned by Ferguson in person, which was simply a slap in the face and a painful beating.
In any case, Wenger couldn't swallow this breath, turned his head to Ferguson with a mocking smile, and said forcefully: "It was an accident, but this time, your player obviously did it on purpose." When he could close his feet, he didn't close his feet at all! β
Ferguson looked at Wenger, sneered disdainfully, spread his hands and said, "Why do you want to take it?!" In the Premier League, this level of physical contact is the norm and if your player can't stand it, you should pack him up and transport him back to Spain instead of chirping like an old woman here! β
Wenger was obviously confused at this time, and he didn't care about any reasoning, so he scolded directly: "You damn old rascal! You and your players don't even know what a work ethic is!! β
Ferguson continued sarcastically: "That's better than you soft-as-you-goss!" β
"What did you say?!"
"Are you deaf?! Then why not retire yet! β
......
In this way, Arsene Wenger and Ferguson, the two old rivals of the Premier League, once again staged a farce of melon-eating that everyone loves to watch. The popularity of this is even more appealing than the tense confrontation between the players on the pitch at the moment, and the cameras are now focused on the two of them on the sidelines, not on the field.
In the end, even after the players on both sides began to gradually disperse on the field, the two old coaches, who were not young but quite angry, did not end the fierce confrontation between each other. When the fourth official was incompetent to dissuade him, the referee, who still had a cold face, came over and threw down the words "If you don't return to your respective positions, just go to the stands to watch the game", and then let the two go back to their respective coaches' seats separately.
It's just that although the quarrel with Ferguson is over, the anxiety and worry in Wenger's eyes have not disappeared. It's not because of Reyes' injury, because the team doctor has already told him that Reyes is okay with his injury and will be able to play again soon.
The real reason is Reyes as a person.
Sitting in the dugout, Wenger couldn't help but clasp his hands together, a habitual gesture he often subconsciously does when he is anxious.
When the game restarted, seeing Reyes's figure re-entering the field with a slight limp because the pain had not completely disappeared, Wenger did not have the heart to applaud and cheer like the Arsenal fans at the moment, only a lot of worry and worry about it, damn it, I hope it is not like that! Damn it!!
As the man who single-handedly introduced Reyes, Arsene Wenger certainly knows that Reyes has many shining points that are beyond the average player. Wonderful passing, great spirituality, fighting spirit and desire to win, plus that golden left foot, etc., are all the qualities that Reyes admires.
But he also knows that Reyes has a shortcoming hidden under his glamorous appearance, or this cannot be regarded as a shortcoming, because in La Liga, this shortcoming can only be regarded as a deficiency at best, far from being a shortcoming, but in the Premier League, this is a fatal shortcoming that can directly affect his future in the Premier League and Arsenal.
With plenty of time, Wenger is confident he can help Reyes correct that shortcoming. But in case, this shortcoming is now discovered by Manchester United and poked on the pitch...... As soon as he thought about the consequences of this coming true, cold sweat broke out in Wenger's palms and back.
At this point, replacing Reyes immediately may be the best outcome, but the thought of making a substitution before the end of the first half, or having performed well before Reyes, hesitated.
Now, Wenger, sitting in the dugout, can only pray that the worst will not happen.
But it is clear that his prayers have failed. Reality often reveals the last thing people want to see, and this time is no exception.
When, in the 40th minute of the first half, just three minutes after being tackled by Gary Neville last time, Reyes was once again battling O'Shea for players when he was knocked over from behind by O'Shea, Wenger finally couldn't sit still and rushed to the sidelines.
Damn, how dare they do that?! They are going to ruin Jose (Reyes)!! The most hateful thing is that damn Asian kid, it must have been his idea. That damn bastard! Bastard!!
"Red card! It's definitely a damn red card!! They are deliberately violating my players and this is the second time!! ......β
When Wenger shouted angrily at the referee in the field, his eyes unconsciously aimed at Li Lei, who was standing on his waist in front of the goal, as if he was smiling and watching, his eyes were full of anger!
Monstrous rage!!
Mars Splash !!
