Chapter 166: Careless
"It seems that Arsenal can already win this game, Arsene Wenger has made a substitution."
"Hao and Robin really don't need to play, save for the next game, this game, Wenger's rotation is effective."
Looking at Ramsey, Vela and the substitutions of Nasri and Bendtner, almost everyone thought the game was meaningless.
The game has entered the last ten minutes, Villa's overall attack is weak, and Arsenal's five-man midfielder also firmly occupies the initiative of the game.
If the Arsenal players take advantage of the opportunity a little stronger, Arsenal will score at least four goals, such an advantage is a bit insurmountable.
Victory seems to be in Arsenal's pocket, and the game is slowly becoming boring.
So whether it's the director or the commentator, they will pull the topic to the most topical characters.
"Hehe, it looks like Hao is in good shape, and he is favored by a big beauty like Cheryl, I think he must be in a good mood."
"I don't know what Hao is thinking now, will he recall the scene of the hero saving the beauty that night, you know, Cheryl misses it very much, hehe."
At this time, who has the most topic, there is no doubt that it is Xiang Hao.
Although the reason for that night was clear, his and Cheryl's lace did not completely disappear because of the passage of time.
On the contrary, the original 'cheating door' and the intervention of a third party have become heroes to save beauty, which is more 'chewy'.
And when Cheryl faced the reporter's topic about Xiang Hao during a public appearance, this Xie Damei did not deliberately avoid it.
bluntly said that Xiang Hao is a trustworthy gentleman, and what happened that night, although it was bad, became remembered because of his existence.
The goodwill between the words, overflowing with words, also made the reporters YY endless.
So in this game, because the opponent was not strong, there were no twists and turns in the game.
Therefore, the focus of the media is not on the field, but off the field, and naturally falls on Xiang Hao.
Xiang Hao didn't know that there were so many people who were paying attention to what happened before, and now, for him, the game is everything.
Seeing his teammates go down, Xiang Hao got up to greet him, "Good job, buddy." ”
He high-fived Denilson, the goal-scorer, and hit his chest with his younger brother, and went back to the bench to communicate with other teammates.
Overall, as the game drew to a close, the big picture was in place, and the Arsenal players were relaxed and waited for referee Lee Mason's whistle.
It's a pity that in terms of referees, Arsenal waited for them, and generally there were no good results.
"Toot!"
A quick whistle woke up the drowsy fans, and everyone's eyes widened.
"Isn't it?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Penalty?"
"Oh my God!"
…
In the 89th minute of the game, Mason Lee pointed his finger to the 12-yard point, and the penalty gave the Villa team a penalty.
In the final moments, Villa suddenly launched a couple of attacks, with Barry sending into the box in the middle to get to Abonlaho.
In the exchange of positions, Galla made an early tackle to clear the ball from Abanglaho's feet, but also gave Abangraho a chance to go to the ground.
The Englishman was not polite either, screamed miserably, and fell to the ground.
Li Mason was not polite either, and blew the penalty directly.
Arsene Wenger was dumbfounded, then angry, and walked to the fourth official with a calm face, "Can you tell me how this ball came about?" ”
"Sorry sir, no, but I can put your opinion into the game log."
There is no doubt that Wenger has retreated, but that kind of face has sunk enough to wring out water.
'Penalty, Arsenal were awarded a penalty, how the hell did it happen.'
"Mason still dared to give a penalty, eighty-nine minutes, and gave a penalty."
"This ball, it's hard to say, Gala stabbed the ball, but he also swept down Abonlaho."
"I can only say that it is five or five, but such a ball should not appear at the Emirates Stadium."
…
The camera and commentary were pulled back to the field in an instant, and the slow motion was put down, and they could only sigh that Arsenal was not at home, according to several penalties of Mason Lee in the second half, such a penalty appeared, and there was not too much abruptness.
To blame, we can only blame Gala's own defensive moves for not doing a clean job, giving Li Mason a reason and opportunity to favor.
"Toot-toot-tot-"
With two short whistles and one long whistle, Wenger didn't even shake hands with Villa manager O'Neill and left the Villa stadium.
A three-point game that was originally in hand was lost because of a penalty that could not have appeared, and it is no wonder that Wenger can be in a good mood.
The inexplicable defeat of the Arsenal players was also not in a good mood, hurriedly greeted the fans who came from afar, and quickly disappeared on the field.
The excited Villa fans, in the eyes of the Arsenal players at this time, are extraordinarily noisy, out of sight and out of mind.
And in the post-match press conference, Wenger did not let go of lashing out at the referee.
'I don't know what it was going on, the referee met during the break, and all the decisions that were ambiguous in the second half were ultimately in the direction of the opponent.
When asked by reporters why Arsenal only got one point, Wenger almost slapped the table and said.
"Are you implying that the Villa staff influenced the referee's decision?"
Hearing Wenger say this, the reporters on the scene were immediately excited, and the reporters of the Daily Express immediately stood up.
"I don't know, I won't say anything more than this."
However, Wenger is also an old man, setting off a wave of anger one moment, but the next moment he left indifferently and closed the topic directly.
The contrast between the bell and the clock made the reporters at the scene itch, but Wenger refused to answer, and they had no choice.
However, they soon pointed the finger at the other side, Villa's manager O'Neill.
"Excuse me, what are you staff members doing in the middle of the field to find Li Mason?"
The Daily Mirror reporter was the first to ask questions.
However, O'Neill is clearly prepared for this, "In the first half, we Abang Lajo fell in the box once, and the referee ignored it, which is a fact.
I think Robertson just wanted the referee to explain the chance to rule that Agbonlahor didn't get, it's as simple as that.
But I know the referee didn't give an answer, and Robertson was disappointed when he returned. ”
The two of them seemed to have to answer when they played Tai Chi, which made the reporters present itch unbearably.
But they didn't have a choice, they thought they would see you fighting to the death, who knows, it's all fun for yourself, and the press conference after the game will end hastily.
Neither Wenger nor O'Neill are stupid, they know too well what these people in Britain are.
Arguing at the press conference will only make these people watch the excitement, so it is enough to show dissatisfaction appropriately and explain appropriately, and there is no need to make the needle point to the wheat.
However, Wenger returned to London, but he was not so easy to talk to, although he did not get angry, but he canceled the half-day rest of the Arsenal players.
Came to the training ground early the next morning and put on an iron face, which made the players frightened, knowing that the old man was still angry at yesterday's game, and everyone dared not be careless.
Missing the three points in hand, the old man didn't scold people, it's not bad.
The Arsenal gang didn't dare to frolic anymore, and they showed 12 points of strength in training to show their determination to continue.
"These boys, it seems that they still can't relax, Les keeps an eye on them."
Although they were very motivated, the Arsenal players still did not satisfy him because of the draw, defensively and offensively.
A late penalty was conceded because of Galla's negligence.
But before that, if the ability of the players in their midfield to grasp the goal is a little stronger, the score has already increased to more than three goals, and a penalty will not let them lose two points.
This draw made the already slim hope of winning the championship completely brittle.
Although they are now fourth, they are eight points clear of the top three Manchester United, and they have a game in hand.
And although Everton and Villa are already only one and two points away from them, one game is enough to make Arsenal fall from the top four.
This is the last thing Wenger wants to happen, the defense is estimated to be unable to change in the short term, and all that is left to do now is to make a fuss about the attack.
I thought I would let Hao take a break, but now it still doesn't look good, this tone really has to be continued, and then, the team's dependence on him will increase.
Wenger looked at Xiang Hao with a deep gaze, revealing a kind of helplessness and dependence, "Rice, which of the three do you think Diaby or Denelson is suitable, and Hao is the partner." ”
"I don't know, I can only let them combine to see that Hao's self-adjustment ability is very strong, which of the three people has the highest tacit understanding with Hao, and which one is the most suitable."
Rice understood the meaning of Wenger's question, and gave his own answer.
"Well, let's see."
Hearing Rice say this, Wenger could only press his eager mind and observe the training of the players.
"Hi Ann, what's wrong?"
At the end of the training, Xiang Hao just got in the car and took the call from Xie Dameiren.
"Hao, do you have time, I want to treat you to dinner."
I can tell that Cheryl has recovered well in the past few days, and in her tone, she has lost that kind of self-pity, she has become a little hearty, and she has spoken to Xiang Hao a lot more naturally.
"I'm afraid not, I'm too tired today, you know, we had a bad game yesterday and we have to play tomorrow night, so, I'm sorry, Ann."
Xiang Hao thought about it for a while, but still refused, and also said the reason.
Although I should have a good appetite when I eat with the big beauty, as he said, I will have a game tomorrow night, a game that cannot be lost.
So in order to avoid his possible ape, Xiang Hao still had to control himself.
Of course, the rumors during this period of time are so tight, Xiang Hao feels that it is better not to meet for the time being.
It's not that he's under pressure from reporters, anyway, Xiang Hao doesn't care much about what they say now, and he can't just don't make friends because he's worried about what they say, that would be boring.
It's just that the second elder in the family has been too strict recently, and for the sake of the big plan, Xiang Hao thinks it's better to avoid it strategically.
"Well, that's right, that's good, let's do that another day."
Although Cheryl was a little disappointed, she understood, so she agreed, so Xiang Hao was not embarrassed, but after thinking for a while, she said, "Then I'll go to watch your game tomorrow, so it's okay." ”
"Huh?"
