Chapter 222 Don't Cause Trouble to the FA
Until the end of the game, neither Notts County nor Arsenal scored. Notts County beat Arsenal with a small away goal, eliminated Arsenal and advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. ≯≯Bayi Chinese> <≦≦﹤≦≤﹤<≦
Notts County players hugged each other in celebration as the referee blew the end of the game in what was arguably their toughest game of the season.
The pressure created by such a giant in Arsenal makes them feel extremely strong.
But they have withstood the pressure, defeated their opponents, and completed the self-improvement.
Arsenal have been trampled under our feet, even if it is not the strongest Arsenal.
It's such a great feeling.
They ignored the thunderous boos from the stands, and they celebrated unscrupulously on the road. Even Loew and David joined in the celebration.
This is the best result they have achieved in the FA Cup in more than 100 years. Although there are still two games to play before winning the cup, Arsenal have already been eliminated by us. Who else can fight?
This game, which had not received much attention, was a big upset. Arsenal, who were very strong in the league and the Champions League, were eliminated by the League One team at home, which was beyond the expectations of all fans.
Even though Arsenal is not the strongest team, and the number one killer Henry has not played from beginning to end, even though Notts County is in the name of a League One team, but its strength is not inferior to the average English team, but everyone still thinks it is incredible. .
You know, Notts County eliminated Arsenal with extreme tactics in the FA Cup last season. How could Arsenal not play with revenge in this game.
But even so, Notts County still won the regular contest. This time they didn't use any bus tactics. They used their overall strength to compete against Arsenal, and they did not lose the whole game.
Of course, there was a little accident in the game. What made Arsenal fans unhappy was that the defensive midfielder in Notts County used despicable means to get Vieira, the core of their midfield, off the field. Come on, this is the key to Arsenal's loss at this time.
But in the eyes of neutral fans, Vieira committed suicide all by himself. Mascherano didn't provoke you. He just carried out the tactical arrangement of the coach, but you pushed them down. You are so impulsive, your mother do you know?
And before Vieira came off, Arsenal were already behind, and it was pointless to stress that over and over again.
At the post-match press conference, Wenger unsurprisingly fired at Notts County.
'It's a pity that this game was stolen by thieves, we Arsenal lost the game we shouldn't have lost! ’
This is Wenger's opening remarks.
'My player was wronged, he was treated unfairly, Vieira was forced to fight back when it was the players from Notts County who provoked him first, he shouldn't have been punished so severely, if Vieira was still on the field , I don't think we will lose. ’
‘I’m sorry, it’s at our Arsenal home, but I feel like I’m playing away, of course, I’m not attacking the referee, I’m just expressing my feelings, that’s all! ’
The reporters below heard Wenger's words and immediately straightened their backs. Wenger rarely fired once, and the big news came again.
'Do not! Do not! Do not! ’
Loew picked up the microphone and said tit for tat: 'Maybe Mr. Wenger should see an ophthalmologist, and then wear a pair of reading glasses, so that he can see more clearly and not talk nonsense! ’
'Not only the referee, but also the players on both sides, the fans in the stands, and even the fans watching the broadcast in front of the TV can see clearly that Mascherano did not have any provocative words and actions, all we saw was a temper. Grumpy Vieira. ’
'We admit that Vieira is a top midfielder in the world, but that doesn't mean he has to have any special status on the pitch, fouls will get cards, serious fouls will be sent off, no one will. Can't be above the rules, doesn't Mr. Wenger understand this? ’
Loew's words made Wenger's face ashen, but he couldn't refute it. He thought that the young coach of the other party would save face for his senior, but he didn't expect that he was self-indulgent.
'Whether Vieira's red card should be sent off is a free public opinion, anyway, Arsenal will immediately appeal to the FA, apply for the cancellation of Vieira's red card, and apply for the game to be replayed, we Arsenal will not accept it. Such a result! ’
In the end, Wenger said angrily, and then left angrily.
Loew shrugged at the reporters offstage, smiling a little weirdly.
He didn't expect Wenger, the famous coach, to become angry at this time. Could it be that he couldn't afford to lose?
As long as David knows, Wenger's psychological quality is not strong, otherwise he will not be often complained about on the field.
No matter how Arsenal tossed after the game, Notts County would not pay attention to it. They have won anyway, so there is no need to worry about the FA's decision to make a replay. It would be nice to have an additional penalty, but should I appeal?
It's purely self-inflicted suffering.
The next day, Notts County's game against Notts County was fermented throughout England. The British giants were eliminated from the FA Cup. This is not an accident, but it depends on who the opponent is, even if it is a team from the lower reaches , Presumably the fans will only say an unpopular, but not too shocked.
But Notts County is different. Following the elimination of strong teams in the League Cup last season, this season has set off a bloody storm in the FA Cup. Heroes like Arsenal have become their dead souls. , Is this to repeat the rhythm of last season's League Cup champions, this season to win the FA Cup?
Arsenal have not yet failed in the league, and the championship battle with Manchester United is fiercely staged. There is still hope of appearing in the Champions League, but the gutter capsized in the FA Cup, which is really surprising!
Many media were waiting for Arsenal to appeal as Wenger said after the game, but after two days of waiting, they couldn't help but be disappointed.
When reporters surrounded Arsenal to ask about the situation, Arsenal's press officer began to talk about him.
'Because Arsenal has a dense schedule in the league and the Champions League, it is helpless to strategically give up the FA Cup. We did not send all the main team in the game, which is the best proof, not the opponent Notts. How strong the county is, it's just that we don't take the game to heart, it's that simple! As for the appeal, after our high-level research, we have decided not to cause trouble for the FA's work! ’ (To be continued.)
