Chapter 549: An Unexpected Start

"Welcome to Portugal's famous Stadium of Light, Portugal has a rare good weather today, just like its name, today the sun is shining on the stadium, such an important day is also beautiful. The famous stadium, home of Portuguese Premier League powerhouse Benfica, was officially inaugurated in 1954 and repaired in 2002, with a capacity of 64,000 fans at the same time. Scenery information.

The Champions League broadcasters gave the Stadium of Light a 360-degree display inside and out, and Herhouse said: "The Stadium of Light really looks a bit like the Emirates Stadium"

Indeed, from the inside, the Stadium of Light really looks a bit like Arsenal's home stadium, the Emirates Stadium, especially in terms of the seating and roof

The game has not yet started, and the fans on both sides began to fight songs, one for you, one for me. The songs are all cheering songs that the team often sings or some pop music.

Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have no grudges, so the fans on both sides are relatively harmonious.

"The fans were entertaining themselves, and the atmosphere of the final was very good."

Amid the singing of fans on both sides, the game finally kicked off.

The referee of the final, the young Italian whistle Rizzoli, took the ball for the final and walked out with the referee team first, behind him were the starters of both sides, and the players of both teams were holding ball boys.

It is worth mentioning that in the past, UEFA's ideal final referee was Howard Webb, who is also known as the bald Webber. However, since Webber is the referee of the Premier League, UEFA is afraid that this will be unfair to Atletico Madrid from the Spanish league, so the final result was announced by Italian referee Rizzoli.

Because there is not much communication between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, one in England and one in Spain, there are not many meetings in the Champions League, and there are not many people who know each other, so the two teams did not greet each other when shaking hands before the game, but just nodded politely.

After the Champions League theme song, after the necessary ceremonies, the two sides officially began this high-profile Champions League final.

Atletico Madrid won the kick-off and it was up to them to kick off the game first.

"Atletico Madrid kicks off, Diego Costa returns the ball to Koke, then he cuts forward, Koke gives the ball to Raul Garcia, Garcia Coke the ball back at the feet of Diego Costa, Costa passes Flamini!" Helhouse's voice was an octave higher when Diego Costa passed Flamini, and for the in-form striker, every time he picked up the ball and broke through, he could put pressure on the Arsenal man, even if it was the first time for the opponent.

"Pass the ball to Villa and see what Huluwa does with it, it's a high ball back to do!! Diego Costa's nimble run has been received, what is Koscielny doing? Thinking about life? How did the opponent's most dangerous player get into the box so easily? And also received the ball!! Zhan Jun's voice also changed.

Koscielny also knew that he had made a mistake, and immediately posted it and directly stuck the owner Diego Costa to prevent the opponent from completing the turn.

"The French centre-backs need to pay attention, Diego Costa is not so easy to deal with"

As a result, as soon as Lineker, a famous player in English football, finished speaking, Koscielny cheated his father.

Diego Costa took the ball and was about to turn, Koscielny pulled the opponent's shirt slightly, and then stretched out his foot to block the ball on the opponent's path.

As a result, when he stretched his foot, he accidentally stepped on the instep of Diego Costa's foot, and Diego Costa fell directly to the ground.

"Uh" Hellhouse's eyes widened.

Beep!! Rizzoli immediately stopped the game.

Koscielny thought of a possibility, he felt his back wet with sweat, and it was only a minute into the game, and he didn't fully move, because he had a bad feeling and looked up at the referee Rizzoli.

Really!! The Italian's right hand points to the penalty spot

"Penalty!! Just a minute into the game, Atletico Madrid's first attack resulted in a penalty!! That's too dramatic, isn't it? ”

"Koscielny, this is the first time he's given a penalty in two seasons? And it often appears at critical moments, it's really a professional household of teammates in the century-old pit," Uncle Zhan Jun couldn't help but complain.

Koscielny is indeed a little uneasy, when he first came to Arsenal, he made Arsenal miserable. Now that a few seasons have passed, after feeling that he is a little more stable, he gives everyone a small surprise from time to time, such as this time

Koscielny immediately jumped up, his affection a little excited. rushed to the referee's side: "I didn't move him, he fell by himself, could such a big man be tripped by such a little confrontation?" ”

Although Rizzoli is relatively young, as a referee trained by the Italian Football Association, he has a lot of experience in the competition, and no referee at such a young age can have such a rich resume.

So he tried his best to appease Koscielny's feelings, after all, it was only a minute now, and Rizzoli didn't want everyone to make a mess.

Flamini came over to pull away Koscielny, the two are French fellows, and this ball was originally Flamini's failure to intercept and gave the other party a chance, so the French veteran first pulled Koscielny away and expressed his apologies.

Koscielny puffed back to the outside of the penalty area and saw Diego Costa grimacing at him. So Koscielny felt that he had been deceived, and immediately his head was hot, so he rushed to Diego Costa and pointed at the other party's nose: "You did it on purpose!" Fake fall, you liar!! ”

Diego Costa immediately brushed Koscielny's hand away with both hands, and then looked at the other man viciously.

Flamini quickly pulled Koscielny away again, and at the same time Medsat came to help.

At this time, Diego Costa followed closely, chasing after Koscielny who was pulled away, and asked what he meant.

Rizzoli immediately rushed up and stopped both sides, so as not to escalate further.

"No, he was the one who started the trouble. Tripping me and stepping on me without saying anything, is it still reasonable? "Diego Costa was the first to strike.

This was apparently heard by Koscielny, who was not far away, and the French blew up at once: "Fack!!" What do you mean? ”

It's just that Koscielny was stopped by the referee again before he could break through the interception of his teammates, and this time Rizzoli was not polite and gave Koscielny a yellow card very decisively.

Li Zihan rushed up and crossed in front of Rizzoli, communicating with the referee in Italian, the two are also old acquaintances, Li Zihan has not met Rizzoli in a season of playing football in Italy, at that time one was the leader of the Italian league players, and the king of the referee, and the two were no strangers.

"Koscielny, isn't this taking the initiative to go up and look for a yellow card? Who is Diego Costa, who doesn't know? Usually he is unreasonable, but now that he is reasonable, he will not fly to the sky! ”

"The French centre-back can't hold his breath, so Arsenal suffers a lot. This is also Arsenal has no one to use in this position, Merdessat is the only pillar, Vermaelen is not in good shape, Koscielny is easy to pit the next house, and the interception of the midfield is not powerful, but Arsenal has been in the Champions League final, which means that there is Li Zihan, without Li, the group may be suspended. ”

"Arsene Wenger should really think about the team's building policy, next season should make some improvements in the midfield and defence, according to this lineup, it is not a way to rely on Li Zihan all the time"

was delayed by Koscielny, and the broadcaster's director was not able to switch to slow-motion playback. It wasn't until the end of the affair that the broadcasters began to replay Koscielny's foul in slow motion when Atletico Madrid was preparing for the penalty.

"It seems that Koscielny has been wronged by this goal"

"I'll you, Koscielny didn't actually step on Diego Costa's foot, but just wiped an edge, and this action didn't affect Diego Costa's breakthrough at all, that is to say, fake fall!!"

"In such a contact, Diego Costa actually rolled on the ground twice, and then hugged his feet and shouted, like that, that's called a heart-rending acting, the Oscar actor didn't give it to him, it's really blind!"

When the slow-motion replay was played, various commentators complained about Diego Costa's fake fall.

The only exception is the Spanish commentator, who is cheering on Diego Costa.

After watching the slow-motion replay, everyone began to feel a little sympathetic to Koscielny.

The exchange between Li Zihan and Rizzoli did not last long, Li Zihan only euphemistically said that Koscielny was wronged, and what kind of person Diego Costa is, everyone who watched his game knows well. Although he is not a bad person, he has nothing to do with good people, at least on the court.

With all the players out of the box, Arsenal left only goalkeeper Szczesny and Atletico Madrid preparing for a penalty. Arsene Wenger covered his eyes from the sidelines, while Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, who was not far away, jumped up and swung his fist as if he had won the match.

'It's not the end of the world for Arsenal, it's one thing if they can score a penalty, and even if they do, with 89 minutes to go, Arsenal have time to equalise and overtake,' said the Arsenal TV commentator.
