Chapter 102 Is This Really His Peak Period?
"After losing the ball in the first half, Newcastle's performance became worse and worse. They didn't seem to think about how to score, but tried not to make mistakes." Paul Merson shook his head; "They played too ugly!"
After entering the second half, Newcastle's style of play became extremely conservative.
It can't be called a bus, but it is committed to not losing the ball.
And few people are willing to try to break through and create shooting opportunities, but keep passing the ball one by one, as if the ball is burning their feet.
This practice of shirking responsibility is very unsatisfactory and ugly.
But Newcastle's players don't care about these, and they seem to have conflicts among themselves.
In this case, Arsenal is no longer committed to attacking, but to stabilizing the situation.
The state of Newcastle's players is very unstable, and they are obviously playing with emotions.
Arsenal is already leading. In this case, continuing to stimulate them will cause some problems that should not occur, which is not worth the loss.
Wenger also made a quick substitution in the 78th minute.
Replaced all of Lucky, Aubameyang and Suarez to ensure the health of the main players.
Facts also proved that Wenger's judgment was correct. In the final stage of the game, Newcastle broke out completely. They didn't seem to be playing football, but simply venting their anger by kicking people.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Fouls were rampant, and many fouls were dangerous.
In the 85th minute, the referee sent off a Newcastle player with a red card, but this did not stop the situation from getting worse.
Only 4 minutes later, the situation deteriorated again.
A Newcastle player tackled Sanchez, who fell to the ground and wailed, with blood seeping through his socks.
At this moment, the situation was out of control!
The players on both sides turned from pushing to a fierce fight, and Wilshere and Colback even wrestled directly in the center circle.
Suddenly, the Newcastle substitutes rioted and rushed towards the court.
"Fuck!
!——" Lucky threw a towel and stood up from the bench.
"Follow me!"
Without saying a word, Lekai rushed forward, and faced Mbaben, who was making the most trouble, and pressed his neck down, and threw a big punch.
Mbaben was a little dazed by the beating, and when he reacted, he immediately fell to the ground and screamed.
The referee turned his head, and Lekai immediately hugged Wilshire, who was standing next to him.
The referee was already in a state of panic at this time, and turned his head to continue adjusting.
Taking this opportunity, Lekai stepped on Mbaben's stomach.
The guy screamed.
The referee turned his head again.
This time, he looked at Lekai with suspicion.
Lekai grabbed Wilshire tightly, pulled him aside, and then pushed Colback away.
The substitutes were stunned by the captain's operation.
They wanted to copy him, but they all made mistakes.
Either they were discovered by the referee.
Or they didn't fight, and instead of beating someone, they got beaten.
The farce lasted for five minutes before it was calmed down by the intervention of security personnel.
The farce was calmed down, but the Newcastle players were a little scared.
They had been fighting irrationally just now.
But now seeing the Arsenal fans in the stands rushing to the field and being blocked by security personnel, they dared not not be afraid.
In the end, the fight was completely calmed down by the red cards of Colback and Wilshere, and three yellow card warnings.
And Lucky himself was spared from getting a card because of his good acting skills.
Although Mbabane accused Lucky, there was no one to defend him.
Wilshere took the blame directly, saying that he knocked Mbabane down with an elbow, and Lucky was holding him the whole time.
Seeing someone take the initiative Admit it, the referee was too lazy to continue to care.
And Mbabane's appeal was completely useless.
Lekai returned to the bench, but when he came back, Wenger glared at him fiercely.
When Lekai rushed up, Wenger was scared.
You know, Lekai has been replaced. It is okay for the players on the field to participate in the dispute, but it is not the same nature for the players off the field to participate. It is a red card directly.
Fortunately, there are too many substitutes in this dispute, and Lekai was not caught by the referee.
Otherwise, if Lekai got a red card, the next game would be bad.
Lekai himself is also very clear about this, so he made such a move.
He is no longer the young man he used to be. When he gets angry, he dares to slap Ramos.
Many unnecessary tempers will only affect the outcome and success. , for which Lekai tried to control his emotions, although he would resort to some tricks when venting.
He couldn't stand a red card suspension, let alone a period of explosive form!
Due to the fight, the referee blew the whistle to end the game after one minute of injury time.
He was also afraid that the conflict would continue to deteriorate.
The Newcastle players left the field immediately after the game, and were greeted by plastic cups, banana peels and other debris, but they didn't say a word. After all, it was Arsenal's home court, and they didn't dare to speak out.
At the post-match press conference, Wenger ridiculed Newcastle for kicking people when they couldn't beat the game.
Newcastle's head coach Pulis had a red face. It was hard to explain whether this matter was reasonable, let alone unreasonable.
The incident did not end there, and the Super League issued a penalty.
Both Arsenal and Newcastle were fined.
Arsenal paid the fine directly, but Newcastle couldn't get it.
Fortunately, the Super Alliance also understood their predicament and could only postpone the request for payment.
However, many Newcastle players were suspended as punishment.
Among the suspended players, Wilshere was also on the list. Who told him to wrestle with Coleback in the center circle? The goal was too big.
At the Kearney training base, Lucky put his arm around Wilshere's shoulders and said earnestly: "You should restrain your temper and don't fight when you get excited. You can definitely discuss it and protest, otherwise there would be no red card." Isn’t it? Hey~~~~Learn to control your temper in the future and learn from me!”
Wilshere looked askance at Lucky.
It's true that he wrestled with someone, but you seemed to have beaten him the hardest!
Who else is there to clean up your mess?
If I hadn't backed up the bar, you would have received a red card!
However, Lucai seemed not to have seen it and spread his hands; "Look, the next game will be affected, right? We will play Manchester City in the next game, and we will play Manchester City away from home. Tell me, how can this be solved?"
Hearing this, Wilshere was also depressed.
Being suspended before such an important game is really annoying.
But he didn't regret it. It was too frustrating to swallow his anger at that time.
"Manchester City is not easy to play! Especially in the midfield!"
Wilshere frowned and said; "Manchester City has excellent midfielders such as Yaya Toure and David Silva, and Guardiola's tactical configuration. The midfielder is under too much pressure!"
Hearing this, Lucai also nodded and said, "Although Yaya Toure and David Silva are not in peak condition, they still cannot be underestimated!"
"And that No. 17!" Wilshere suddenly said; "That guy's pass is very dangerous!"
Lucky was silent.
Manchester City's No. 17 Debra Ne.
The future number one midfielder in Europe is up for debate, but De Bruyne is definitely one of them, and the one who gets the most attention.
The Belgian boy is very creative in the midfield, and his passing is a dangerous weapon.
Moreover, due to the early arrival of Guardiola, De Bruyne has also quickly passed the probation period and has occupied the important task of the main ball release point in the midfield.
Compared to the organization and scheduling of Yaya Toure and David Silva, De Bruyne's task is more to play the ball.
And this guy's ball is very dangerous. If he doesn't play well, he will be inserted into the key gap. There are more players like Aguero, Sterling, Jesus and Jesus in the frontcourt to support him.
Once this lineup is activated, Manchester City's offensive power will become extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, De Bruyne couldn't find a good striker for a long time!
But this guy is still extremely dangerous.
Snapped!
In Manchester City's tactical room, Guardiola slapped his name on the tactical board.
"This is the target we need to focus on in the next game, Arsenal's No. 4, Kai!"
Guardiola looked around and saw the solemn expressions of the players and said: "I think you are very aware of his abilities. Needless to say, his defensive ability, good organizational skills, excellent frontcourt dispatching ability, and a kick that is not inferior to Kevin's. Ability to hit the ball!”
Guardiola said seriously; "I don't want to think so, but the fact is that once you fail to enter the state quickly and let Kai take the lead in the midfield rhythm, he can suppress our midfielder alone!"
After speaking, Guardiola looked at Yaya Toure and said, "You should know this feeling!"
Yaya Toure nodded solemnly.
At his peak, one man could suppress the entire opposing midfield.
Lucky's current situation is very similar to his own at that time.
It's just that Lucky's peak period came too early. Or is this really his peak period?
