554 The situation has taken a turn for the worse
Arsenal's momentum was high after scoring the goal. Barcelona immediately initiated an attack after re-television. Ronaldinho made a large-scale offensive transfer from the left side of the frontcourt. Jiuli forced a breakthrough through Ashley Cole after receiving the right side. (.)
Arsenal turned around and immediately launched a counterattack.
Ashley Cole passed Pire in the front straight, and Pire hit the ball with one kick, and Fabregas followed up and passed the ball diagonally to the front right. Qin Xiong rushed through the midfield to control the football.
Three passes and two moves, without any drag, Arsenal's counterattack was fast and sharp!
Qin Xiong strode forward with a meteor, and Henry rushed forward from the left side of the frontcourt to the middle side of the goal. Henry attracted the attention of many Barcelona defensive players, but on the right, there was a man who cut inside the Barcelona penalty area like a sharp knife.
Yongbery!
Qin Xiong sent out a pick-up pass without hesitation in front of Ed Milson.
The football crossed the back line and flew straight to the right side of the small penalty area.
Loneberg hit the ball and headed the ball!
Unfortunately, he was too serious and was directly put into Valdes' arms!
Arsenal fans hugged their heads in the stands and felt sorry for Rijkaard, although he looked as normal on the sidelines, he was actually already frightened.
Valdes hugged the football and rushed forward immediately, throwing the ball out of the ground at the edge of the penalty area and rolling the ball to the midfielder Deco.
Qin Xiong felt a little thrilling at this time.
Because when he turned around and looked at his side's half, he saw that Barcelona's offensive formation was very neat, and Deco initiated an offensive from the middle, this was the counterattack that was fought back by Barcelona!
Arsenal's defense may not have enough time to retreat. The key is to delay the opponent's offense. At this moment, Arsenal cannot do a good job.
Qin Xiong really wanted to harass Deco, but Deco didn't have the opportunity to pass the ball directly to the left of the frontcourt, and Ronaldinho controlled the ball smoothly there.
Fabregas defended in front of Ronaldinho. Although the offensive opportunity this time is slightly better than before, Ronaldinho will no longer try to break through to the dense defense zone.
He pretended to break through from the left, and after Fabregas retreated and moved the center of gravity, he suddenly pushed the ball horizontally, and then quickly got rid of Fabregas. When Silva moved over, he pretended to pass the ball to Deco who was inserted behind him. Then when Silva hesitated, he hit the ball forward and forced the breakthrough successfully!
At this time, Arsenal's back line was a little panicked. Perhaps it was the first time that Barcelona had been so terrifyingly penetrated the midfielder, so the back line automatically contracted to the middle and pushed outward, compressing the space for Ronaldinho to break through.
They dare not retreat. Once they retreat, Ronaldinho may complete the shot within 20 yards of the goal. Giving him such a shooting opportunity will be really not far from death!
But just as the back line was pushing forward, Ronaldinho's magical right foot sent a straight pass, and the football penetrated from the middle of Touré and Campbell and rolled directly into the penalty area.
The African Cheetah Etoo rushed into the penalty area with a bloodthirsty wild wind.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lehman had already been ready to abandon the goal. When he just rushed to the outside of the penalty area line, Etoo took the lead and pulled the ball away from Lehman who fell to the ground, changing to the direction of the person!
Just as Etoo almost drifted past Lehman, he suddenly fell to the ground!
Lehmann's hand pulled down Etoo's ankle, causing Etoo to lose balance and fall on the penalty area line.
The football that Etoo picked over Leman was directly sent into the empty goal by Jiuli, who cut from the right!
Just as Barcelona began to celebrate the goal, the referee blew a whistle to indicate that Arsenal was fouled, and Barcelona's goal was invalid!
"My God! Barcelona's goal was blown away! How should the referee judge punish the foul and goal in this offensive process? Through slow motion replay, we saw that Lehman did foul. Given that Etoo has formed a one-on-one opportunity, Lehman's foul is fatal, but if the referee thinks the offense is favorable, then Jiuli's goal should be effective.
Oh, no!
The referee showed Lehman a red card!
There is no problem with the red card. However, in the two-choice penalty, I think all the audiences around the world who watch this game must expect the referee to choose the latter, the penalty is effective, so that Lehman stays on the court and ensures the balance of the number of players on both sides!
Anyway, the referee cannot call Lehman for a foul and end the game to show him a red card. Then he will be awarded Jiuli's goal to be valid.
In the choice of two, the choice of the referee is worth discussing!
Lehman became the first player in the history of the Champions League final to be sent off by a red card! He wrote the record, but this is not a record of glory."
The entire Arsenal team is very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty.
They can accept the bad situation of losing the ball, but they cannot accept the bad situation of hitting one less person.
There are more than 50 minutes left in the game!
What does it mean to have Barcelona hit one more man than Arsenal?
I'm afraid it will be difficult for Arsenal to fight back according to Barcelona's offensive strength!
Barcelona is also dissatisfied with the referee's penalty.
What they need more is goals, goals that equalize the score, and restore their sense of security.
In any case, choosing one of the two penaltys is beneficial to them, but the immediate benefit is definitely to score goals, not to play one less player on the opponent.
Who can guarantee that you can win with one more person?
Lehman's red card made Arsenal, who was in high spirits, feel like a pot of cold water was poured on.
The situation took a sharp turn!
Wenger made a substitution on the sidelines with a serious expression.
"As Lehman was sent off, Arsenal needs to replace the substitute goalkeeper, so they need to remove one of the main players. The person Wenger chose to remove is Pire!
Pire's Champions League final is over!"
When Pirey saw the assistant referee on the sidelines he called the substitution number and he was shocked.
His Champions League final came to an end after Wenger's decision!
Why me?
Why me?
Why? Why?!!!
Pire, who looked numb, was roaring in his heart, questioning, and venting his unwillingness!
But he must go to the sidelines and must end up.
When he walked out, Wenger wanted to comfort him, but Pire turned a blind eye to Wenger and went straight to the bench.
Although in the overall situation, replacing Piret was the right decision.
The defense line cannot move, Henry and Qin Xiong cannot be replaced. Fabregas, the instigator of the midfield and backcourt, cannot move for the time being, otherwise Qin Xiong will be sacrificed to retreat.
This leads to the substitution actually choosing between Lungberg and Pire.
In terms of offense alone, Piret leaves more value.
But now, it is an unquestionable fact that Yongbery, who has the characteristics of desperately Saburo, can contribute more to the team.
After all, Yongbery is younger than Pire.
But if Piret is on him, he may never forgive Wenger's decision.
Chapter completed!
