Chapter 461: Delay Time and Maximum Stoppage Time

In the last five minutes, the competition between the two teams once again entered the most intense stage.

It was also a frantic five minutes, and for Chelsea, if they couldn't defend those last five minutes, they would have been defeated. And for Arsenal, if the final five minutes can pay off, it will be another crazy comeback.

Of course, even if Arsenal can't get a result in the last five minutes, they will be in everyone's respect.

For Li Zihan, respect is a fart, and he can't win the championship.

So in the last five minutes, Li Zihan was still the most active person in the game, regardless of whether he had the ball at his feet or not.

Chelsea's guard against Li Zihan is not strict, but it often allows Li Zihan to get some opportunities. There was no way, the Chelsea players who had a shadow over Li Zihan's free-kick were too afraid to foul him in the core area.

Not only Li Zihan, but also other Arsenal players who pressed the front court to attack, because no matter who was brought down, it was Li Zihan who took the free kick in the end

In the 87th minute, Li Zihan rushed into the penalty area and received a pass from Ozil, and shot directly without adjustment. The ball was blocked by John Terry and Arsenal were awarded a corner. Mesut Ozil's corner was headed over by Giroud and flew straight over the crossbar.

In the 88th minute, Ramsey tried a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the quality was very high! Found a way in the all-man penalty area and the ball hit the back of the net, only to be saved by Cech.

In the 89th minute, Chelsea tried to launch a counter-attack, as the Arsenal players were more advanced at this time. However, Hazard's dribbling was tackled by Ramsey before he could reach the halfway point, and the referee did not blow a foul, and Marriner saw that Ramsey had tackled the ball first. This drew displeasure from the Chelsea fans in attendance, who believed that Ramsey had kicked Hazard in the leg first. And Ramsey already has a yellow card on him, so if he blows for a foul this time, it is very likely that Ramsey will have two yellows and one red.

In the 90th minute, Arsenal continued to attack, and Li Zihan's running attracted Chelsea's attention. Giroud's strong forward press also kept the Blues' centre-backs from coming out at will, and in the end, Ozil's pass was not given to either Lee Zihan or Giroud. Instead, it was given to Wilshere, who had been silent for a while, because the small threat has been quite quiet in recent minutes, and even worse than Ramsey in the attacking table.

So the Chelsea players were naturally less defensive about him, and it was because of this that he had a great opportunity. Wilshere even had a chance to make a few adjustments when he picked up the ball on the line before shooting. It's just that there were too many people in the box and his shot hit Cahill's chest and was cleared.

The ball fell to the feet of Ramsey, who again took a long-range shot. This time it was blocked, and Nemanja Matic stretched out his long legs to keep the ball out.

It's just that Chelsea's crisis is still not in contact, and the ball blocked by the Serb did not roll away, but came to the feet of Li Zihan not far away.

When Li Zihan got the ball, all the Chelsea fans broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs. Obviously, the title of Arsenal's Grim Reaper this season does not belong to Ramsey, but to Li Zihan!

Li Zihan didn't have time to adjust like Wilshere, and directly chose to shoot half-turned.

The quality of this kick is not high, because the ball came too hastily, and Li Zihan's position is not good. Even so, the ball still hit the range of the goal frame, which shows that Li Zihan's shooting skills were confiscated, but in the end it was confiscated by Cech.

Cech didn't have a moment after he got on the ball. Drove the ball out to fight back, and didn't waste time holding it in his arms. Instead, he gave the ball to full-back Cesar Azpilicueta, hoping that the Spanish full-back would take the ball to the corner area and give a "big corner. law".

But Cesar Azpilicueta kicked the ball straight off the touchline and the referee immediately stopped the game – with a Chelsea player falling in the box.

Cech had been blocked by the likes of John Terry and Nemanja Matic in front of him, so he didn't see any of his team-mates fall in the box.

Cahill had just blocked Wilshere's shot, but he paid the price for it. He was now lying on the ground and not moving, and if it weren't for the violent heaving of his chest, he might have fainted or gone into shock.

Marina immediately motioned for Chelsea's team doctor to come on, while the Arsenal fans who arrived on the road booed loudly – what they saw as Cahill's deliberate delay.

The Chelsea fans at home were cheering, hoping that Cahill would just lie down until the end of the world, not at the end, and at the end he would hang up, until the end of the game.

"It was a really intense game, more enjoyable than watching the Champions League final. The process of the game is full of twists and turns, friendly reminder, people with heart disease should turn off the TV early. ”

'It's too late at this point, they should have closed when Arsenal were tied 3-0 in the first half'

"It's also to blame you for being so intense, because the outcome of this game is likely to be directly related to the league title this season, so both Arsenal and Chelsea are fighting hard. It's the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and it's also the sworn enemy derby battle of the same city."

The amount of time it took for Chelsea's team doctor to treat Cahill confirmed the speculation among Arsenal fans that they were stalling for time.

At this time, Li Zihan walked up, and he leaned down to greet Cahill. Of course, this greeting is very polite and friendly

He also hopes that Cahill will get better quickly so that the game can continue.

At this time, the Chelsea players immediately surrounded them, because they thought that Li Zihan had taken advantage of this to do something unfriendly to his teammates.

Li Zihan was separated from Terry and Torres from the Chelsea players, and Li Zihan rolled his eyes.

Brother is that kind of person?

When Cahill was able to stand up with the help of the team doctor, the referee immediately gestured to invite them to go outside the grass for treatment.

This is FIFA regulation, once the team doctor is on the pitch. Injured players must play regardless of whether they can continue to play or not.

After the game has resumed, the chance of a dead ball has been approved by the referee before it can be played.

By the time Cahill walked off the pitch slowly and leisurely with the help of the team doctor, the clock had come to the ninety-second minute of the game.

Had to pass, Cahill's fall to the ground and the delay in treatment was very successful. At least, that's how it looks like for now.

The referee looked at his watch and then confirmed the second-half stoppage time with the fourth official. In fact, in the 89th minute, before Cahill had even fallen to the ground, the referee communicated with the fourth official about the stoppage time.

Originally, Marriner preferred three to four minutes of stoppage time, which is a more pertinent time period. However, as Cahill's treatment wasted a lot of time, Marriner ended up giving a straight six-minute stoppage time.

When the fourth official was seen holding up an LED sign with the Arabic numerals of six, the Stamford Bridge stadium exploded.

Apparently they think that such a long stoppage time is completely unscientific

Boos and invective filled the stadium, and of course, they were all directed at the referee Marrina.

The British broadcaster was also very interesting, and at this time immediately gave the referee Marriner a close-up. As a result, the ready-made boos are even greater.

Fortunately, the FA and the police have cracked down on football hooligans very hard in recent years, otherwise there is really no guarantee that Chelsea fans will not remove their seats and throw them at Marriner.

'Marriner was a displeasure on both sides today, first giving Arsenal a red card to the wrong person and then giving Chelsea two penalties at the game, although the two penalties themselves were not controversial. At the end, a very rare long six-minute stoppage time was given, which in Chelsea's eyes was clearly biased in favor of Arsenal, because at this time Arsenal's form and momentum are getting better and better. ”

'The usual maximum of regular stoppage time is five minutes, and Marriner's decision to give six minutes of stoppage time should be based on the belief that Cahill's injury wasted too much time. He wanted to make up for the other man's two minutes, poor Gary Cahill, who lay on the cold grass for two minutes."

After the game restarted, Sagna threw a throw-in to Li Zihan, who also gave the ball to the Chelsea goalkeeper in a gentlemanly manner.

Because Arsenal had the ball because Azpilicueta took the initiative to kick out of bounds because Cahill was injured. According to unwritten international practice, the player who kicks off the ball should return the ball to the player who kicked it out of bounds, regardless of which player was injured.

Terry was taken aback, at first he thought that Li Zihan was shooting directly from a distance, until he felt the strength and angle of the ball and knew that he was handing back the ball.

The Chelsea fans at the scene also stopped booing because of Li Zihan's action, obviously if they were booing at this time, they would be considered ungraceful by the fans of other teams. Although they were booing Marina, they thought they were booing Arsenal without knowing it.

John Terry picked up the ball and kicked it forward, not hoping that Chelsea would be on the counter-attack. Rather, his centre-back partner was back on the pitch while he was still waiting for the dead ball on the sidelines, and the obvious best thing to do at this time was to let his team-mates come up first.

It's easier defensively that way, although even if Cahill doesn't come up, the number of men on both sides is the same!

Terry didn't choose to kick the ball straight out of bounds, but chose a diagonal direction in front of him. Because you can waste some time, because it's a long distance, just let the ball fly for a while.

Anyway, the referee won't blow the whistle if the ball doesn't go out of bounds, and if it is kicked out in a straight line, the throw-in that Arsenal gets will follow up with the goal of the penalty area, and the threat will naturally be greater.

If Li Zihan knew how much Terry thought about in just two seconds, he would definitely say: "You are so scheming"

Actually, these are the experiences of one.
