Chapter 098 A unique way to delay time!
The following game, while the Arsenal fans in the stands were loudly criticizing and in an uproar, made Wenger understand the meaning of that action.
Foul tactics, yes, foul tactics!
When Dave Jones saw that the situation on the field was out of control, he didn't come up with any good tactics. However, Wolverhampton was still in the lead, so if they wanted to keep the goal, they had to adopt some alternative tactics! Using fouls to block Arsenal's attack was obviously very practical.
Although using this tactic would be despised by everyone, for a team, the game results are everything. As long as they can win this game, all the reprimands will turn into praise! Dave Jones decided to fight. Anyway, the team's relegation this season is not a worry. If they can beat Arsenal in this game, it will be icing on the cake and his position as head coach will be more secure.
When Wolverhampton used foul tactics, Arsenal's attack became more difficult than ever before.
…………
In the 72nd minute, Campbell intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it directly to Pires on the left. Facing Lyle's defense, Pires performed several bicycle kicks on the ball, and then took advantage of Lyle's moment of distraction to kick the ball between his legs, and then immediately accelerated around Lyle. However, just as he caught up with the ball and looked at the situation in the frontcourt, before he could kick the ball to the middle, Lyle tackled him and the ball to the ground from behind! The referee immediately ran over, took out a yellow card, and waved it at Lyle.
Only three minutes later, Fabregas received the ball in the center circle, and after a one-two with Parlour, his eyes lit up, and he found a gap in the Wolverhampton penalty area, and he swung his right foot and was about to poke the ball to Vieira. However, before he could kick, he was pushed down by Kleiman who followed him, and he lay on the ground with his face covered!
In the 77th minute of the game, at the front of the penalty area, Vieira got the ball and was about to turn around. At this time, Kennedy tackled the ball directly in front of him. After making a beautiful tackle, he took two quick steps and wanted to kick it directly to Wang Li, but Pires who came over grabbed his clothes from the left. Kennedy, who had just stood up from the ground, was unstable and fell to the ground again. This was Pires' revenge!
…
Fabregas performed mediocrely throughout the game, which made him very unwilling.
Before the game, many media reported that this match was a contest between the English genius and the Spanish genius, but his performance made the game completely a one-man show of the "English genius". Although Wang Li did not get the ball many times, the data of one pass and one shot has overshadowed the brilliance of the entire Arsenal team!
In order to perform well and to get the attention of the head coach, Fabregas has been running tirelessly, trying to find offensive opportunities. But now, Wolverhampton players are trying to defend the goal at almost any cost, and he is once again tackled by Cameron and falls to the ground!
"How did you kick the ball?" Henry ran over with an angry face and pushed down Cameron who was about to reach out to pull Fabregas up.
"What are you doing? Want to fight? You nigger!" Miller grabbed Henry's hand and said provocatively.
"What did you say? Boy, can I think this is racial discrimination?" Pires yelled at Miller angrily, his face flushed. Cameron saw Miller being scolded and was about to step forward to fight.
"Okay, okay, this is just a game." Wang Li hurried over and grabbed Cameron who was about to take action. Normally, he and Cameron have a good relationship. He didn't want Cameron to be sent off or even suspended because of a momentary impulse.
At this time, the players of both teams immediately ran over, pushing and shoving on the field, and it seemed that a group fight would start at any time. The referee Willy immediately ran over, separated the players from both sides, and loudly warned the players who started the fight, and gave Henry and Kennedy a yellow card each.
Arsenal's players were also furious, so in the past ten minutes, the two teams had a fierce hand-to-hand fight near the midfield, and the game was interrupted continuously. Such conflicts have occurred several times. The referee Willy has become the busiest person on the court. He keeps shouting warnings, taking out cards, and mediating disputes, but it seems to be useless. The angry players on both sides don't care about the cards at all. They seem to be using their actions to prove that they are more manly!
But Wang Li did not act impulsively. He had already received a yellow card in the first half. He did not want to be sent off before the result of the game was determined. Otherwise, all his efforts before the game would be meaningless. He kept wandering around the center line, doing his defensive job while waiting for an opportunity.
He knew that there were the most opportunities in chaos. If Arsenal were not provoked, the game would always be controlled by them. In such a situation, it would be too difficult to score again.
If the current situation continues, Arsenal will definitely have loopholes in their anger. What I need to do is to keep an eye on the situation on the field and give Arsenal a fatal blow! As long as I can score one more goal, I will definitely be able to crush Arsenal's confidence. At that time, this game may really become a disaster for Arsenal, and this is exactly the result I am most looking forward to!
…………
Although the situation on the field was in chaos, Dave Jones on the bench was sitting on his tiptoes, watching the farce on the field as if he was watching a movie. The game was going in the direction he expected. In this case, if Arsenal really fought Wolverhampton, their offense would be a mess. You know, Wolverhampton was leading now!
Wenger, on the other hand, was on the sidelines, shouting and directing the team's attack. He didn't want to waste time with Wolverhampton. Now the situation on the field was out of his control, which made him very worried. However, although Coach Wenger did a very good job in other aspects, he was not as prestigious as Ferguson. Arsenal's players respected the old coach very much, but they were not afraid of him. Now the players on the field were all angry, and they didn't care about Wenger's command!
While the players on the field were still arguing, Wang Li hurried to Miller's side and said, "Miller, let's switch positions. Wait a minute, when you get the ball, try to kick it as far as possible towards the Arsenal penalty area line."
Miller looked at Wang Li with some embarrassment, but still nodded, "Okay, I can't get the ball in the front court anyway."
Most people would not agree to such a position exchange, and Miller's defensive level is not high, but Wang Li is his best friend, and Wang Li is indeed stronger than himself. Even if it goes against the head coach's wishes, he is willing to help Wang Li. Miller also knows that this game has special meaning for Wang Li, and he also hopes that Wang Li can play better!
Wang Li smiled and patted Miller's shoulder vigorously, his affection was self-evident...
