PS1: This is today's first update, and the 190,000 recommended plus more will be sent again in the evening, well, that's it.

PS2: I asked for a recommendation vote here, saying that free books don't need everyone to spend money, so it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

When Keown suddenly sacrificed the big killer of the back tackle in the penalty area, everyone couldn't help but feel tight. Fiorentina fans are worried about whether Ronaldo will suffer a serious injury because of Keown's move, after all, there is Basten, an example of early retirement due to injury, and everyone is wary of the action of tackling behind the back; Arsenal fans, on the other hand, were more concerned about whether the referee would award Fiorentina a penalty if Keown "accidentally" tripped Ronaldo in defence......

Although there are no eyes on the back of his head, Ronaldo is still in a sprint state with his inexplicable sixth sense to sense that something is wrong with Keown, this sudden and huge sense of crisis, so that the alien who has already touched the ball has no time to think about it, and made a move that he later called "saving my personal career"!

I saw Ronaldo first gently pick up the ball with his right foot, and then kicked the ground with his left leg, so he even jumped into the air with the ball, and narrowly dodged this lethal back sliding tackle before Keown's spikes reached his position!

After successfully avoiding Keown's back-tackle (in his own opinion), Ronaldo, who was in the air with the ball, waited for the moment when he was short of Arsenal's goal, and with Seaman and the rest of the pace, the Arsenal goalkeeper would never have had time to make a save from the other side of the net.

So, as long as Ronaldo can get back to the ground, then the alien's goal is basically a matter of hand-holding...... Provided, of course, that he can! Enough! Fall back to the ground!

The reason for saying this is because Ronaldo underestimated the determination of the Keown group to stop him from shooting. Although the Arsenal centre-back's first tackle failed to have the desired effect due to Ronaldo's timely evasion, the fiery Keown was excited and immediately made another additional move - he slid on the turf and lifted his left leg high and then kicked the alien who had nowhere to borrow his strength

In this way, with Keown's perseverance and hard work, Ronaldo finally failed to completely avoid the England defender's tackle, and fell directly into the Arsenal penalty area!

Seeing this, the referee, who was not far from the place of the incident, immediately blew the whistle in his mouth, and at the same time rushed to the place of the foul as fast as he could. The referee ran while angrily scolding Keown, who was still lying on the turf and did not get up, and said in his heart that these English players were really the same,

At the same time, in the stands of the Highbury Stadium, thousands of Fiorentina fans who had come from afar immediately shouted a huge boo in dissatisfaction at Keown, the perpetrator!

However, the boos from the Fiorentina fans were immediately suppressed by the wave of more home fans - although they realised that Keown's foul was indeed reckless, Arsenal fans still hoped that the referee would be able to open the net for the sake of Arsenal's home stadium, at least not to put the Gunners in a situation where they were left to play with one man shortly before the game began.

Although the referee is not as well-known in the refereeing world as the likes of Corina and Merck, the fact that he was selected to officiate the Champions Cup is enough to show that he has considerable experience in officiating in the competition. Therefore, after rushing to Ronaldo's side, the referee first observed the alien's injuries and asked the Fiorentina team doctor about the results of the preliminary diagnosis, before turning around and walking towards the position of the other person, Martin Keown, who was also the perpetrator.

Seeing the referee walking towards Keown, the Arsenal players suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Keown, who had been a little enthusiastic before, also regained his composure and realized at this time. However, before Keown, who realized that he had made a big mistake, pleaded with the referee, the referee put his hand in his pocket and showed a bright red card to Keown!

At the same time, the referee's other hand firmly pointed to the penalty spot in the Arsenal penalty area and awarded Fiorentina a penalty!

"Penalty! Red! The referee showed Keown a red card! A penalty was awarded to Fiorentina at the same time! This penalty can be said to be beyond doubt, after all, Keown made a rather bad foul action before, and still kicked the alien from mid-air with his left foot when Ronaldo had already dodged the back tackle! Thankfully, the aliens didn't seem to have been hurt much, otherwise I don't think the Fiorentina players would have spared him...... Arsenal are in trouble now, due to Keown's lack of calm, they are now not only awarded a penalty, but also have to face a situation of playing one less game in the remaining 70 minutes of play! ”

Although Adams desperately explained to the referee with a vote of Arsenal players, hoping that he would cancel the red card given to Keown, before the referee could open his mouth to disperse them, Effenberg rushed over with a large group of Fiorentina players to join in the fun.

"You soft eggs dare to bargain here?" Seeing Ronaldo sitting on the turf and being diagnosed by the team doctor, Effenberg felt furious - someone dared to bully his teammates right under his nose, and the German Tiger felt the need to give the other side a little color to see, "This is a football game, not wrestling!" If you don't accept it, there is a kind of competition and then practice with me alone! ”

"What are you talking about?" Vieira was also a one-point blow-up, and when he saw that Effenberg was not polite, he immediately rushed out and shot back.

As Arsenal's on-field captain, Adams naturally had to stand up for his teammates at this time: "This is Highbury! Be polite when you speak, and be careful if you can't get out of the locker room after the game! ”

As a result, these hot-tempered guys became more and more noisy, and the posture was like a rhythm of action if they didn't agree with each other.

In the end, it was the referee who personally intervened to stop the dispute between the two teams, and showed a yellow card for Effenberg, who took the initiative to provoke trouble, and Adams and Vieira, who were outrageous, and Wenger on the sidelines was furious. After Keown was sent off, Adams and Vieira each carried a yellow card, Arsenal's central defense was the only one who could defend without scruples, which was undoubtedly a lot of pressure and burden for Arsenal.

However, it is useless for Wenger to jump his feet, and there is no room for maneuver at this point. All he could do was to think about how to make the next substitutions and adjust his tactics, and then pray in his heart that Fiorentina would not score the penalty.

Otherwise, with one less player still behind and the opponent is still Fiorentina, which is still playing with the main force, it will be difficult for even Arsenal to achieve a comeback at home.
