Chapter 449: The Worse Gunslinger

In the fifteenth minute, Arsenal continued to attack. And Chelsea seem to be a little unable to support such a high-intensity and high-density attack.

Nemanja Matic brought down Li Zihan at the edge of the box, Marriner blew the whistle for a foul and then gave Arsenal a free-kick in front.

This makes Chelsea fans unhappy, because this is Chelsea's home stadium, and at least they should enjoy a little bit of the home whistle, right? Nemanja Matic's foul is actually a blow-up in the Premier League, and if you consider that this is Chelsea's home stadium, you don't need to blow it.

Because Chelsea supporters know how dangerous Li Zihan's free-kick is, and the position where Nemanja Matic fouled is also more appropriate and comfortable for Li Zihan, it is only because the Blues fans have reacted so much.

For Arsenal fans, they were still a little unhappy with Marriner's decision, and they felt that Andre Marriner should have shown a yellow card to the 'vicious' Nemanja Matic. Because under the ferocious pressing and guarding of the Serbian midfielder, Li Zihan did not have many chances

As the first penalty taker of Arsenal's free kick, Li Zihan stood in front of the ball. After Marriner's whistle, Li Zihan kicked the ball out.

This time, Li Zihan did not choose to hit the goal directly, but chose to cooperate with his teammates to everyone's surprise.

Medsart got on top of the ball, and although Matic was not too tall to lose, the German defenders still had the upper hand. It's just that he didn't hit the goal with a direct header, but made a header back.

In the second spot, Mesut Ozil volleyed in front of a header from Merdessat and his left foot was firmly tucked into the ball.

Facing Arsenal with such a delicate combination of free-kicks, Cech was clearly ill-prepared, moving a little slower and failing to save the ball.

Mesut Ozil's shot was also goalless, as the ball hit the top edge of the crossbar and flew off the line.

"Ozil!! Oops, the ball hit the top edge of the crossbar, if it was a little lower, just a little lower to the bottom edge, it could have grazed the goal. ”

"It's a pity that Arsenal's free-kick is very often combined, but unfortunately it didn't score in the end. Li Zihan sacrificed his ability to hit the goal directly and the cooperation of his teammates, it was a completely unexpected free kick, what a pity, this is a wake-up call for Chelsea. ”

Mesut Ozil looked at the goal behind Cech with some distraction, and there was no such goal

Li Zihan came up and patted Ozil on the shoulder to comfort his teammates.

Chelsea, who have two goals in hand, have some ideas and they want to score more goals. Scoring goals on strong teams and sworn enemies is a very cool thing no matter what.

And they are indeed bursting with confidence now, the so-called fighting passion, that's it.

No longer satisfied with the conformist defensive counterattack, as a new giant team, they still have some big team thoughts, such as - offensive football!

And anyway, I have two balls in hand, and I have played some of them, so if the offense is really not good, it's a big deal to continue to defend.

With this in mind, Chelsea began to slowly try to attack in the following games.

When the two teams play against each other, the game is much better.

Torres slid past with a shot from inside the box, and this time he continued his usual shot

Wilshere responded to Lee's imaginative pass and fell to the ground in front of goal, but it was too hasty and the interference of his defending centre-back Cahill to hit the crossbar.

Cahill got up excitedly and roared

Because Li Zihan's pass was very imaginative, he faced the siege of Nemanja Matic, John Terry and Frank Lampard at the edge of the penalty area, miraculously passed the ball out, and it was passed into the box, and Wilshere's tackle shot from the edge of the box did not score.

'Chelsea, who are two goals ahead, are starting to attack, but this is a rare time to see them play against a strong team this season, is that what Mourinho meant? What is the special arrangement? ”

'Chelsea scored two goals in eight minutes, so I guess we played with confidence. And the best defense is attacking, so are they going to completely suppress Arsenal? ”

The broadcaster's camera showed Mourinho, but the Portuguese didn't say anything.

For neutral fans, it's now that the game really starts to get exciting. Both teams play in attack and there are goals.

After more than ten minutes of defensive counterattack, Chelsea suddenly switched modes to attack, and Arsenal was still a little uncomfortable

After being hit three times by Chelsea, Arsenal finally reacted. Oh yes, it turns out that they will attack too!

Prior to those three shots, the Chelsea squad had just had two shots on goal in the first ten minutes of the game, but had scored twice.

The confrontation was always fierce, and it didn't take long for someone to pay the price. Chelsea are attacking, but they are also very urgent in their own frontcourt, pressing up front because they have Fernando Torres, a world-class defensive striker

Torres received a yellow card for a foul when pressing, and Arsenal were no better, and Flamini also received a yellow card after defending full-time - he brought down Hazard who broke through with the ball.

In the twentieth minute, Merdessat used his long legs to keep Oscar's shot out of the line and Chelsea awarded their second corner of the game so far.

Arsenal have already won six corners

Hazard's corner didn't go high to the top of the box for John Terry, Gary Cahill and Nemanja Matic. Instead, he sent a tactical corner, and he pushed the ball to Oscar, who came to the corner flag area to pick it up.

The Brazilian golden man immediately knocked back his heel to Hazard after a corner. Eden Hazard dribbled horizontally and quickly played the ball to Frank Lampard when Ramsey came up to interfere.

Rather than opting for his excellent long-range ability, Chelsea shot the ball back to Eden Hazard, who had headed straight in front of the Arsenal penalty area.

"Chelsea's series of tactical corners, beautiful, look at this attack!"

Hazard found the gap and fired a shot from this position at the top of the arc.

The ball flew between Medessat and Koscielny and headed straight for the left side of the goal.

Szczesny was full of people in front of him, and he was tall. Medessat, Koscielny, Cahill, Nemanja Matic, his vision was completely blocked.

By the time he saw the ball, it was too late. He could only extend his hand symbolically, but to his delight he saw team-mate Oxlade-Chamberlain near the left-hand post. Because when defending corners before, Oxlade-Chamberlain went to defend near this post.

Thankfully, he didn't leave the six-yard box and the post after Eden Hazard had driven a tactical corner

Just as he was thanking God, he saw a scene that made him feel horrible.

In the face of Hazard's shot, the young Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was standing near the post, was a little flustered. In the end, his body subconsciously pounced sideways, and subconsciously stretched out his palm to block the ball with his palm.

It's a standard goalkeeper defensive move, and it's a good save if it's a goalkeeper, but the key is that Oxlade-Chamberlain is not a goalkeeper!!

"Handball!!" Hazard immediately turned back to the referee and slapped his right wrist with his left hand, reminding the referee with words and gestures.

"Oh my God, Chamberlain," Hellhouse was speechless.

Alex Chamberlain!! Although he is a winger and a midfielder, he has a fiery heart of a goalkeeper."

'Let's take a look at the slow-motion replays, Chelsea's series of passes in front of Arsenal goal, it's like slapping Arsenal in the face, because that's Arsenal's usual attacking style and it's one of their masterpieces.

'Eden Hazard latched onto Frank Lampard's pass and fired straight at goal. This time, Medsart's long legs didn't make a difference, and the ball flew straight towards the goal. Oxlade-Chamberlain, near the post, was right, he blocked the ball with his hand, it was a handball, no problem! ”

Marriner pointed to the twelve-yard spot in the Arsenal penalty area after communicating with the fourth official and linesman in the headset.

"Penalty!! Arsenal is a wave of undrawn, wave after wave, it was originally two goals behind, and the opponent was given a penalty, and Oxlade-Chamberlain's action should be red carded, right? After all, if it weren't for his handball, Hazard's shot would have almost been a goal. ”

Watching referee Marrina come over, the Arsenal players knew what was going to happen. With penalties already unavoidable, they hope the referee will show mercy to Oxlade-Chamberlain, even if it is a yellow card.

So the Arsenal players began to gather around, intending to help their teammate Oxlade-Chamberlain plead for mercy, although they knew that this might not change anything, but they still held on to the glimmer of hope, hoping that the referee's brain was pumped, and it was poor away Arsenal, so they would not give a red card.

Chamberlain shrugged his head, he was already mentally prepared for what would happen next.

Marriner pushed aside the layers of Arsenal players surrounding him, found the Arsenal player for handball, and then showed him a red card.

The action was very decisive, clean and clean, unmoved by the pleas of other Arsenal players.
