Chapter 354: Take the initiative to apply for a yellow card for a teammate

Li Zihan stood in front of the ball and looked at the penalty area and the human wall in front of him.

Then he spread his hands helplessly at the referee and said, "Please, sir, are they ten yards apart?" ”

"Li Zihan came to take this direct free kick, he has a strong free kick direct ability, but this position may be better to change to a left-footed player to shoot. Oh Li Zihan is complaining to the referee, he thinks that the distance between the opponent's wall is not ten yards, that is, the distance of 9.15 meters. ”

Dodd looked at the ball and the wall, then walked over and motioned for the wall to take a few steps back.

The Manchester City players who originally wanted to steal and play tricks on the wall of people could only retreat helplessly.

Li Zihan inquired about the situation in the opponent's penalty area again, and then raised his hand to signal that he was ready.

It is a very common gesture for players to raise their hands when they are about to take a free kick or corner, and most players do this to tell their team-mates and referees that they are ready.

But no one noticed that Li Zihan's raised left index finger and thumb stretched out to point straight to the sky, and the other three were all slightly curved.

The referee blew the whistle and signaled that the game would continue and Arsenal could kick off.

Li Zihan took a deep breath and then began to run.

"Look at the ball in his shot!!"

Quickly ran to the ball, picked up his main foot and right leg, and then swung it.

The ball flew high over the wall and into the City penalty area.

Li !! Direct shot no, it's not a shot!! ”

The ball arced towards Manchester City's six-yard box. Everyone thinks that Li Zihan is going to shoot directly this time, because Li Zihan's free kicks can almost be ranked in the top few among active players, and even for his master Pirlo, he has a feeling that he is better than the blue, and he has not scored less free kicks in previous games.

But the ball didn't go straight to the goal, and it began to fall at the edge of the small penalty area.

Kompany was a little unprepared and was pinned down by Medsat during the jump. And the German guard also grabbed the landing point of the ball, and there was no other superfluous action, and he threw his head and attacked the goal directly.

"Medsat !! The lion shakes his head, this ball has wood!! ”

Joe Hart also thought that Li Zihan would shoot directly at goal, and as an excellent goalkeeper, of course, he would pay attention to the way the opponent's most dangerous players scored goals and their habitual movements when preparing for the game.

But he didn't expect that Li Zihan, who had always shot direct free kicks, did not act according to the script this time, but unexpectedly made a free kick with his teammates.

But Joe Hart is not an ordinary goalkeeper, although he has been criticized a lot this season, but the fundamentals are still solid.

Jump sideways and immediately pounce on the ball, then stretch your arms and legs.

"Joe Hart!! The response was quite rapid!!! ”

Joe Hart couldn't get his hands on the ball, but his fingers touched it and flicked it.

The ball grazed Joe Hart's fingertips and leapt off the post.

Joe Hart!! He saved Merdsatt's header off the line, and he did a great job!! It was Arsenal's best chance to equalise again, but unfortunately Joe Hart was still so good despite scoring five goals in this game! ”

Merdesart thrust the fingers of his hands into his hair in annoyance, and looked at Joe Hart with a look of pity.

Mesut Ozil, a national team friend next to him, came over and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, and then ran to the corner area to prepare for the corner.

Merdesart turned around and gave a thumbs up to Li Zihan, signaling that the opponent's pass was wonderful.

Merdessatt's header was denied by Joe Hart, and Li Zihan was quite regretful. It's just that this has little to do with Medsart, it is Joe Hart who has performed better this time.

Li Zihan raised his hand and applauded at Medersart, indicating that the other party had done a good job.

Mesut Ozil stood in the corner and glanced inside the box. Then he made a big gesture at Medersart, as if he wanted the ball to continue to give the German guard a chance.

Kompany patted his centre-back partner Demichelis, who was defending Medsarth, and then motioned for himself to switch positions with him.

Demichelis' height is not very high as a central defender, and the height of 1.84 meters is only slightly higher than Li Zihan. But he defends with the tallest of the 22 on the pitch so far, and the height of 1.98m is close to 2 metres, making him a threat on headers. Therefore, Demichelis, who is relatively short and has a somewhat reduced physical strength, defends the most threatening Merdesat in corners and set-pieces, and Kompany can't let go.

Although Kompany is a little lower than Medsart, he is still much better than Demichelis at 1.9m, and the young and strong Belgian centre-back is clearly better than the Argentine in his early years.

Mesut Ozil's corner was met by Medsat and headed for Kompany and Fernadinho, who was assisting the defence. It's just that Kompany and Fernandinho are very careful to defend the ball and take off, but Merdsat only makes a symbolic jump.

The ball flew directly over the heads of Medessat and Kompany, without the slightest lingering affection.

"Mudsat shake point!! The ball went to the back post and Podolski !! ”

Medessat was just a front, and Ozil's real target was Podolsky at the back point. Arsenal's players were prepared for this as Mesut Ozil made a gesture before the penalty.

Podolski met the ball almost unguarded at the back post and then swung his leg straight at goal. He knew that if he took the time to adjust, the opponent would react and the defense would come up.

"Podolsky, direct shot !!"

The ball flew straight into the goal, and Kolarov, who was defending at the near end of the post, didn't have time to react.

However, it turns out that Podolsky is still the same Podolsky, not Li Zihan

There were no adjustments, so Podolski's sideways sweep was more square, and Joe Hart didn't need to make any extra saves.

Joe Hart stood still with his hands outstretched, holding the ball directly. And the ball was like a child who pounced on his mother's arms, and plunged into Joe Hart's arms "happily".

Joe Hart!! The England international has once again made a difference!! Although Podolski's shot was on target, there was no angle. However, Joe Hart was in a reasonable position, standing still and dispossessing the ball straight away, and it looked like Arsenal's hopes of equalising were getting slimmer. ”

The Arsenal fans at the scene made a cry of regret, while the Manchester City fans were frightened into a cold sweat, but in less than half a minute, the feelings of the fans on both sides reversed.

After Joe Hart got the ball, he didn't drag the little time, but chose to serve quickly.

A strong hand threw the ball out of the box, and David Silva, who was picking up the ball from outside the box, did not go to catch the ball, but half-turned and pumped the ball directly into the Arsenal half.

Sergio Aguero started quickly to get on the ball.

In corners, Gibbs and Sagna usually stay at the back to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. But the position of the two today is a bit forward, not near the midline, but in front of the press.

And when Gibbs just turned around, Aguero had already rushed past him, and Gibbs didn't even have time to foul.

Sania knew that his current stamina and speed could not keep up with Aguero, so he could only take foul measures.

Reach out, grab the opponent's jersey directly, and then pull, with the movement of his feet, to bring Aguero down.

"Aguero!! Manchester City's quick counter-attack from Sagna!! It was a tactical foul. ”

Sergio Aguero has not been in the Premier League for a season, and in recent seasons he has fully adapted to the rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League, as well as some small actions.

When Sagna made a small movement, he staggered and wanted to fall. Sagna thought that his foul had worked, and he didn't dare to make too many moves, otherwise it would not be a yellow card but a red card.

Sagna quickly let go of his hand, but Aguero, who was already half-bent and was about to fall, suddenly bounced off the ground with both hands, and quickly got rid of Sagna and ran to the ball to land.

The referee's whistle was not blown, and he gestured to continue the game for the sake of continuity.

The Arsenal players are a bit out of action, and their team-mate Sagna has obviously committed a foul, so you should blow the whistle and give him a yellow card

There has never been a time like this, with the Arsenal players wanting the referee to blow the whistle immediately and then give his man a yellow card because if the game continues, Aguero will be a one-on-one striker.

"Aguero!! Sergio Lionel Kun Aguero del Castillo!!! Well done!! The Argentine's feint deceived the experienced Sania, the referee did not blow the whistle, the game continued, and the game continued!! The narrator read out a long list of names, but it was just one person's name – Aguero!

Ramsey was a little dissatisfied when he passed by the referee in the process of chasing back: "Sir, Sagna has committed a foul, you should blow the game and give him a card, that is an obvious foul"

This is the first time Ramsey has offered to help a team-mate claim a yellow card

Because Sagna has not yet received a yellow card in this game, so he is not worried about getting a second card and being sent off, and if this goal is scored by Aguero alone, then almost, the game will be locked by Manchester City, with seven minutes left, Arsenal really do not have the confidence to score two or three goals in a row. Oh, unless Li Zihan has a magical performance again

Referee Dodley ignored Ramsey and instead sprinted towards Arsenal's half.
