Chapter 218 Promise to Brother!

In the 38th minute of the first half, Coloccini made a beautiful tackle in the backcourt, leaving the ball at Henry's feet, and then squatted on the turf and swept the football to the side. Receiving Richardson, Richardson made some adjustments, then glanced at the front, directly kicked a long pass from the backcourt, and passed the football...

Aaron Lennon was fighting for the top with Cesc Fabregas, he jumped very high, almost onto Fabregas' back, and ferried the football to Neil Gilckney, who was plugging in from the wing, Cesc Fabregas raised his right hand, signaling that Aaron Lennon fouled himself when he was fighting for the header, but the referee Webber ignored it and the game continued.

…………

Alan Lennon's ball is very beautiful. The football bounces and rolls towards the frontcourt. It can just take advantage of Neil Gilckney's speed. Neil Gilckney is running, taking advantage of the trend Standing on tiptoes and going forward, and then accelerating, not only controlled the football, but also broke through Flamini's grab.

Now, in front of Neil Gilckney, there is a large open field. Neil Gilckney watched Vieira come to make up for this side, and before Vieira ran over, he accelerated again and walked along the He dribbled the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough, which completely disrupted Arsenal's defense.

Near the baseline, Neil Gilckney pretended to cut inside, and Lauren had to move his center of gravity to get in position. Unexpectedly, Neil Gilckney suddenly knocked the football to his left foot and kicked a pass. Li Rui, who was inserted in place, exerted strength in his waist and abdomen, pushed Senderos away from him, leaped high, and shook his head with a powerful lion.

…………

"Damn it!" Lehman did not expect that Senderos would lose to Li Rui, who was a head smaller than him, in the fight for the top. Lehman could only subconsciously reach out to block such a close-range header. , However, the distance was too close, the speed of the ball was too fast, and the angle was tricky. He didn't touch the football, and could only watch the football fly into the goal behind him in despair!

The ball is in!
…………

"Damn it!" Wenger helplessly raised his hands on the sidelines. He really had reason to be angry about this conceded goal. When Li Rui jumped to head the ball, Senderos did not put any pressure on Li Rui. The performance of the Swiss boy Let him very dissatisfied.

"Great! That's it!" Eddie Gray jumped up unscrupulously on the sidelines. He raised his arms and cheered. To be honest, he didn't expect to be able to overtake the score before the end of the first half. The ball is really important. With a one-goal lead, entering the midfield lounge is definitely a better situation.

The Arsenal fans also fell silent at this time. There were only about 3000 Leeds United fans who came to the away game at Highbury Stadium. They jumped up crazily, raised their arms high, and cheered heartily.

Li Rui ran to the sidelines, patted his forehead as he ran, and shouted, he was so excited, he hadn't scored a goal in several rounds, it's really amazing to score in such an important game I am very happy.

…………

Campbell was in the penalty area, raising his arms, swaying, and shouting at the referee at the same time. He was signaling that this was an offside ball and the goal was invalid!
At this time, when he was defending just now, Senderos, who made a serious mistake, looked at the linesman as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Sure enough, the flag raised high by the linesman has never been lowered. The referee Webber was communicating with the lineman through the headset. A few seconds later, Weber blew his whistle, indicating that the goal was invalid. Chelsea's backcourt free kick !
…………

Li Rui, who was celebrating his goal, was dumbfounded. He looked at the referee. Weber's face was as serious as a Scotland Yard agent, and his gestures were very clear. A free kick in the backcourt will invalidate the goal.

This penalty immediately drew warm applause from the Arsenal fans at Highbury Stadium. In the eyes of Arsenal fans, Webber is now the best referee on the planet, and the Leeds United fans who came to the away game, Expressed their dissatisfaction with the penalty with boos and curses.

…………

Li Rui rushed over and questioned the referee. Leeds United captain Albertini and Neil Gilckney also protested to the referee, 'Sir, this is a good goal, not offside! '

"It's a goal that counts!"

In the face of strong protests from the Leeds United players, Webber looked serious and insisted that this was an offside kick, the goal was invalid, and a free kick in the backcourt.

Li Rui and Neil Gilckney were furious. Albertini saw that the protest was ineffective, and he also knew Li Rui's desire for the goal. He was worried that Li Rui's words would be overreacted, so he quickly pulled Li Rui back...

However, what Albertini didn't expect was that he pulled Li Rui away. He didn't expect that Neil Gilckney was still protesting loudly to the referee, and was shown a yellow card by referee Weber.

…………

Off the court, Eddie Gray pulled the fourth official emotionally, expressing his dissatisfaction with the penalty.

"Damn!! It's a good shot! How can this ball be offside?! Only that idiot would think so."

The fourth official looked serious: "Sir, please pay attention to your words. If you have any doubts, you can submit a report after the game. I will also truthfully state it in the game report after the game."

"Fuck the report! Now one of our good shots has been blown away! If the report is useful, what do you need?!"

…………

The fourth official was also annoyed, and he also had a headache for this 'rogue coach', with a stern face, "Mr. Gray, I remind you again. If you speak rudely again, I will have to invite you to the stands."

Eddie Gray also knew that the person in front of him could not speak well, and would really punish him to the stands in a fit of anger. Then, even if Leeds United could reach the final, he would also be able to remotely direct the game from the stands , This is bad enough for Leeds United, so even though he was still very angry in his heart, he had no choice but to swallow his anger in resentment.

Eddie Gray shrugged helplessly, spread out his hands, waved helplessly, glared at the fourth official again, turned and left.

…………

The dramatic scene on the pitch left everyone dumbfounded, but for the Arsenal people, this is definitely good news that they had narrowly escaped death.

Wenger also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the referee ruled that the ball was offside first and the goal was invalid. At this time, before the end of the first half, if Leeds United succeeded in a sneak attack and took the lead in the score, It was not easy to play in the second half.

…………

However, Wenger still criticized the lack of concentration on the team's defense. He took advantage of the opportunity when the Leeds United players surrounded the referee to protest, called Senderos to the sidelines, and reprimanded him...

Of course, Senderos knew that he was really distracted just now, and he didn't stick close to Li Rui, allowing Li Rui to score the goal with a comfortable header. If the referee hadn't called the ball offside first, he would have become Arsenal's sinner, so , The Swiss guy also obediently admitted his mistake and promised that there would be no next time.

…………

"Webber ruled the ball offside first, the goal was invalid... Leeds United were protesting around the referee, Gilckney got a yellow card for protesting, this is really lively, aha, let's see, Gray Mister is so angry, so is this ball more likely to be offside?" Taibi clicked his tongue twice.

At this time, the replay of the controversial penalty just now came out, and the commentator and fans were staring at the screen, wanting to see what happened.

The commentator and the guests in the live broadcast room watched the replay three times in a row, and they couldn't tell whether Li Rui was offside at the moment when Neil Gilckney passed the ball...

…………

At the moment of passing the ball, Li Rui and Senderos, Arsenal's last lagging central defender, were almost on the same line. That is, Li Rui's slightly raised left arm is closer to the goal than Senderos...about a centimeter.

In the end, even Lineker, who expressed his support for Arsenal before the game, had to admit, "This penalty is questionable. Perhaps, from the point of view of the linesman, Lee was indeed offside by a few centimeters..."

Because of this sentence, Lineker offended a lot of Leeds United fans in front of the TV, so that later, when Lineker passed Leeds United, his car parked on the side of the road was "accidentally" 'Scratched, of course, that's another story.

************
At this time, the entire city of Leeds was cursing, cursing the referee Webber on the field, cursing the bastard lineman, and cursing Lineker, who was biased towards Arsenal during the commentary.

"Damn it, this strike was blown away. I should really help that lineman and pull his eyes out of the PY." The fans discussed while staring at the big-screen TV in the bar.

"I bet, for this game, the old men of the FA must have decided that Arsenal will go to the final, think about it, Arsenal will go to the final, and Manchester United will also go to the final, they want this kind of game. "A man hiccupped and slammed a heavy beer glass on the table. Obviously, this is a supporter of 'conspiracy theory'. However, what he said also makes sense. Manchester United and Arsenal, the two giants who are likely to be frustrated in the league this season, are indeed very gimmicks to compete for the final championship in the FA Cup final.

…………

At this time, on the field, the game continued. Henry shot a goal and was hugged tightly by Carson. While the Leeds United fans in the bar were still applauding Carson's outstanding performance, in a blink of an eye, Leeds United counterattacked. Already in Arsenal's penalty area, Li Rui received a pass from Albertini, stepped out of the way, and shot a goal, but it was ridiculously high.

"Li's condition is still so bad, he should have been replaced long ago." Someone looked at the screen and complained loudly.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" This person seems to be a loyal fan of Li Rui, "You have to think about how many goals Li has scored for the team this season. Demi's goal just now was also Li Rui's goal. Assists, he's done a great job for the team."

"Boy! What do you know? You have only been watching football for a few years? Shouldn't you be replaced if you are not in good shape?" The man was also very upset when he pointed his nose like this, and his face immediately turned red. The nose of the person next to me.

"Boy, what do you want, don't think I'm afraid of you..."

"How is it? Do you want to come to make gestures? Come on! Boy!" The man who criticized Li Rui immediately stood up from his seat and began to roll up his sleeves.

…………

At this time, a threatening attack by Arsenal was resolved by Coloccini. He snatched the football before Bergkamp shot. The football reached Ian Hart's feet, and the latter immediately slammed The foot drove the football to the front field.

In the frontcourt, Li Rui ran towards the point where the football fell, and Vieira also came over. Li Rui bumped into Vieira with his back, just like the posture of dribbling with his back in basketball. However, the French midfielder The center of gravity is very stable. However, next, Li Rui raised his left foot to unload the football, then pretended to pass the ball back with his left foot, and suddenly tapped lightly with the heel of his right foot. The football rolled past Vieira, and Li Rui Rui himself also quickly turned 180 degrees, accelerated to catch up with the football, and broke through Vieira's defense.

The whole action is done in one go, it is really beautiful!
"Nice job, kid!" The buddy who was shouting to replace Li Rui just now, and rolled up his sleeves to fight, shouted to applaud Li Rui's extraordinary action, although Li Rui immediately passed the ball, Hanging into the penalty area, was destroyed by Campbell, but there was still applause in the bar, this buddy also patted the one who was arguing with him carelessly, "I apologize for my words just now, I have to say, I like it That kid."

"Hey!" This buddy who is a fan of Li Rui didn't mind at all, he laughed, and the two men who almost performed martial arts a minute ago raised their heavy wine glasses, 'Cheers to Leeds! '...

…………

In stoppage time in the first half, Arsenal almost overtook the score.

Maybe the first half of the game was coming to an end, and the Leeds United players relaxed a bit. Arsenal passed the ball three or two times, and they tore through Leeds United's defense and entered the penalty area.

Henry dribbled the ball up front, faced Coloccini who was pressing out, and with a sudden lateral knock, the football reached Bergkamp's feet, the Dutch veteran feigned a shot and switched feet as Dubury jumped up to block it , the football reached the left foot, with a light push, a beautiful through ball!
Pires, who broke into the penalty area, faced the goal and chose to shoot from the far corner. The football arced and passed between the hands of the attacking Carson. The Arsenal fans in the stands were already raising their arms, ready to celebrate. When the goal was scored, a white figure appeared, it was Richardson who was defending back. He was almost on the goal line and headed the football out, but did not go out of the penalty area. In the chaos, Flamini stretched out his foot and shoveled, but the football missed the post...

…………

When Pires shot, Eddie Gray shook his head angrily. He already thought he was going to concede the ball. Finally, seeing Richardson making a successful clearance on the goal line, Eddie Gray didn't seem too relaxed. He yelled anxiously on the sidelines, and finally, seeing Flamini's shovel miss, he was finally relieved.

However, Eddie Gray was obviously dissatisfied with the team's slack performance at the last moment. After Arsenal's attack ended, the referee Webber also blew the whistle for the end of the first half. , Eddie Gray looked angry, turned around and walked back to the locker room...

'Rogue Coach' sucks!

…………

In the visiting dressing room at Highbury Stadium.

"I have to criticize your slack at the end of the first half, and I also want to praise Frazier for his rescue at the end..." Eddie Gray looked at the unconvinced players and grinned. "Okay, yes, I admit that in the first half we were able to equalize after conceding a goal first, you guys did a good job, and if it weren't for that goddamn guy, we might have led by a goal. But, in the The slack in the last 2 minutes of the game almost wiped out everyone's efforts in the first half. Think about it, boys, if Pires' shot scored a goal, who among you would dare to be so unconvinced Look at me, Aaron, do you dare? Lee, what about you?"

The two guys who were named immediately lowered their heads. Of course they knew that it would be very bad if they were scored by Arsenal. They also knew why the boss would name and criticize them. This attack was due to Li Rui's dribbling and being intercepted. Li Rui did not counterattack on the spot, and Alan Lennon did not rush up in time to interfere with Cesc Fabregas' pass, so Arsenal played quickly. Counterattacked.

…………

Eddie Gray rubbed his head. The team's defense really gave him a headache. Facing Arsenal's sharp offense, Leeds United's defense is really not reassuring.

"Defensively, in the second half of the game, Frazier and Ian, the two of you, be careful not to push out easily for assists. In addition, Bamby, you appeared in the midfielder position with Demi in the second half of the game. Your job is to stay in the second half and disrupt Arsenal's rapid attack first."

The three people who were named nodded, expressing that they knew it. Eddie Gray retreated Bambi's position, also wanting to liberate Albertini, and use Albertini's offensive organization and long pass in the midfield Transfer ability, which can also help Li Rui share the pressure on offense.

…………

On the other hand, the team scored early in the first half, and even after being equalized by Leeds United, the Arsenal players were not too affected, and there were several good opportunities on offense, but Wenger's There was no relaxed expression on his face at all. He still looked at the resting players with a serious face. Compared with the offense, the problems exposed by Arsenal's defense in the first half of the game made him Some headaches.

"In the first half, your performance was good and put pressure on Leeds United, but I still have to criticize. In terms of defense, you didn't do well enough, and you gave Lee too much room to move." Speaking of this, Wenger frowned. Frowning, he looked at the veteran Campbell, "You have no problem, Saul, you don't seem to be in shape anymore."

Although the tone of this sentence is not heavy, Campbell still feels the pressure. Arsenal players know that the professor usually does not name a certain player in front of the whole team. The performance of this player is very dissatisfied.

…………

In the past two seasons, Campbell has been plagued by injuries for most of the time, so his state has declined sharply. Of course, he knows that his performance in the first half of this game was not good, and Leeds United equalized the score The goal was Li Rui's assist to Albertini after he broke through Campbell.

"Coach, I promise, you will see a different Sol in the second half." Campbell said, patted his chest.

Wenger nodded when he saw that he had said that. For this veteran, he chose to trust.

Then, during the free time of the players, Wenger found Senderos alone and criticized his performance in the first half. This is the difference Wenger treats players. For some veterans, he can bluntly Not shy away from pointing out problems, and for some young players, he still pays attention to protection.

**************
Albertini washed his face, held a dry towel, and while wiping his face, he talked to Li Rui.

"Still thinking about the ball that was blown away in the first half?"

Li Rui raised his head, with an expression of dissatisfaction on his face. When Albertini saw what was on his mind, Li Rui also smiled, "I just want to score goals so much."

Albertini also laughed. Of course he knew that Li Rui's state has been fluctuating recently, and this young man has been under a lot of pressure. "Don't bother with the punishment that has passed. It's useless, it's important to focus on the second half of the game!"

Li Rui nodded. He understood all these reasons, but he was just a little depressed, "Don't worry, captain, I will forget these unpleasant things once I play the game."

…………

Albertini suddenly asked, "Are those two tickets given away?"

When Li Rui was asked this, he was a little embarrassed for no reason. He nodded, "Well, I sent it out. Now, it should be in the stands."

"friend?"

"kindness!"

"girlfriend?"

"En...ah, no." Li Rui nodded subconsciously before he realized that he had been told by Albertini and quickly denied it. Albertini laughed and walked away. He also saw Li Rui's mood I was a little irritable, so I just teased this kid for a while to distract Li Rui's attention. Now it seems that it is still effective.

…………

Li Rui felt that his face was a little hot, and he also secretly scolded himself for being so unlucky, as if he was being talked about, but he still blushed, and Albertini's words made him miss Jessica , Li Rui felt itchy for no reason, he touched the lavender headband on his forehead, as if feeling relieved that the headband was still there.

"If you can score a goal and give it to Jessica, would it be a good gift..." Li Rui was still muttering, when Alan Lennon slapped Li Rui's ass violently, 'Okay, Lee, get ready to play. '

"I said, don't shoot my ass, only my girlfriend can." Li Rui shouted.

At this time, Eddie Gray came over with a kick, "Hurry up, kid, don't dawdle, you haven't scored yet..."

Li Rui was so frightened that he didn't say a word, and ran away quickly, the speed was faster than a rabbit. At the same time, Li Rui was still thinking about Albertini's words, 'Girlfriend? '

This, it should be... It's about to happen... Someone doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

***********
After the start of the second half of the game, the commentators found that Bambi retreated to the position of the midfielder and formed a double midfielder with Albertini, while Neil Gilckney returned to the right winger he was accustomed to position.

Alan Lennon passed the ball to Neil Gilckney after evading a Flamini tackle.

Neil Gilckney pulls the football aside and speeds through!
Unexpectedly, Vieira rushed from the side and suddenly shoveled Neil Gilckney out of the sideline with the ball. , hitting the billboard on the sidelines with a bang.

…………

Seeing that the referee Webber did not call Vieira for a foul, Eddie Gray waved his arm angrily on the sidelines, and muttered a few words in his mouth. It was not a good thing to think, and the fourth official had to come over and sternly punish Leeds United. Mr. Coach, pay attention to your words and deeds. ,
At this time, in the slow motion playback, Weber’s penalty is still reasonable. Although Vieira’s tackle looked fierce, the Arsenal captain went for the football and tackled the ball first. El Gilckney was brought down by Vieira's inertia. It seemed that the Arsenal captain didn't mean it.

However, Neil Gilckney obviously didn't think so. He punched the ground hard to vent his dissatisfaction with the referee. He thought it should at least be given a yellow card.

…………

"That guy fouled just now! Why didn't you show your card? Damn it!" Neil Gilckney loudly questioned referee Weber.

"Shut up! Or I'll brag about your insulting the referee!" Webb warned Neil Gilckney with the authority of the referee.

Seeing that Neil was still protesting loudly, Li Rui, who was the closest to Neil Kirkney, hurried over to pull Neil up and hugged him to the side. Neil already had a yellow card on him, and that yellow card was also due to The referee protested and got it. Li Rui didn't want this guy to get a yellow card again. Two yellow cards turned into one red and he was sent off.

…………

Milner took the throw-in, Albertini knocked the ball back to Bambi, who made a long diagonal pass, Aaron Lennon, who stopped the ball in the chest, took two steps, and was about 27 from the goal. At a position of about [-] meters, he took a long shot and shot high.

Lehmann quickly throws the ball to launch a fast break. After Ashley Cole and Vieira made a wall-hitting cooperation, they dribbled the ball all the way along the left. Near the baseline, they first made a smash and dunked past Richard. Sen, then hoisted the football into the penalty area. In the penalty area, Coloccini grabbed ahead of Henry and pushed the football out of the penalty area. Outside the penalty area, Bergkamp did not stop the ball, and volleyed directly. An arc was drawn, slightly out of the column.

wow wow wow...

The Arsenal fans also applauded Bergkamp. In fact, as long as the Dutchman touched the ball in this game, the Arsenal fans in the stands would applaud. At this time, the Leeds United fans also did not cooperate. Boo, this is a respect for a veteran who is about to retire.

…………

In the game time, another seven or eight minutes have passed, and the game has reached the 8th minute. Neither side of the game can break through the opponent's gate. Time, at the beginning of the second half, the scramble in the midfield increased significantly, and the situation began to appear on the field. Obviously, during the intermission, the head coaches of both sides emphasized that the control of the midfield and press.

Eddie Gray sat on the coach's bench, chewing gum in his mouth. He was quite satisfied with the status quo of the game. After strengthening the midfield press, Arsenal's smooth and beautiful offense was also received a lot. Big restrictions, which also made Eddie Gray feel relieved. He could see that Li Rui was in good form in today's game. If he continues to play like this, he should still score goals. The key is not to miss again. ball up.

…………

However, just when Eddie Gray was quite satisfied, Arsenal suddenly accelerated their offensive rhythm. Leeds United, who had not adapted all of a sudden, immediately faced danger in front of the goal.

Bambi made a careless pass back, and was stabbed by Henry who suddenly robbed him, and the football was thrown to Bergkamp who was plugged in. The latter turned around and pulled the ball beautifully, getting rid of Bambi's desperate efforts Then he kicked an imaginative pass from the inside of his foot. On the wing, Flamini suddenly advanced. Flamini pushed and shot, and after being touched by Carson's right foot miraculously, he rolled out of the bottom line.

corner kick.

…………

The corner kick taken by Fabregas was snatched by Vieira, but it was a pity that the top was too straight, and Carson hugged him tightly.

…………

Three minutes later, Leeds United conceded the ball in midfield. After stealing the ball, Vieira didn't take the ball at all, and immediately poked the ball to Pires, instigating a quick counterattack.

Pires immediately dribbled the ball and made a breakthrough along the left. First, he made a beautiful change of direction and accelerated to break through Bamby. Then, he dunked Richardson with a beautiful technique, and then suddenly cut in, towards Leeds United. The penalty area rushed past.

Just now in the midfield, Neil Gilckney's cross pass was suddenly intercepted. Arsenal's counterattack was also very quick this time, which caused the Leeds United's defense line that was pushed out, and was caught off guard for a while. Have time to return to defense.

…………

Now, only Coloccini stands in front of Pires, and behind Coloccini is the goalkeeper Carson. On the other side, Dubury also has to keep an eye on Henry to prevent the Frenchman from advancing. Therefore, as long as Pires breaks through Coloccini, he will be single-handed.

Coloccini watched Pires shake a few times in a row, gritted his teeth and directly tackled the ball to the ground, trying to grab the football under Pires' feet, but let Pires pull the ball horizontally, then accelerated and threw it away!
Suffered!Coloccini, who had shoveled the ground with one foot, lay on the turf and his first thought was 'it's over'. He knew that behind him, there was only a lone goalkeeper left.

"Beautiful!! Pires made a breakthrough! Coloccini's rash attack failed!! This is a fatal mistake! Arsenal's chance!" Lineker stood up in the commentary booth.

…………

Neil Gilckney realized the danger when he made a mistake in the pass. He threw off his feet and chased back desperately. Speed ​​is Neil Gilckney's advantage. He followed closely behind the Frenchman, but now he was at war with heaven and man: he was hesitating, whether to shovel or not?

If he doesn't shovel, Neil Gilckney knows that he can't stop the French star at all, but Neil Gilckney knows very well that if he shovels, it will almost certainly be a yellow card, and now, Neil Gilckney Neil already has a yellow card on his body. If he shovels this time, two yellow cards will definitely turn into one red... At this time, Neil Gilckney began to regret that he was not calm in the first half. If you calm down a little and don't protest loudly to the referee, you won't get that unjust yellow card...

But, now, regret is useless!

…………

Damn it!Seeing that Pires broke through Coloccini who was pressed out, now, he is about to enter the penalty area, single-handedly!If the French scored this goal, it would be very difficult for Leeds United to equalize the score after nearly 70 minutes of the game!
Neil Gilckney bit his lip tightly. He couldn't hesitate anymore. If he hesitated any longer, once Pires entered the penalty area, he wanted to tackle the ball, but he couldn't. If it was a foul, it would be a penalty!
…………

However, if the kick is shoveled, once the second yellow card of the game is received, then Neil Gilckney, who left the field with a red card, even if the team finally wins the game and enters the final football He will also not be able to play in the finals due to the suspension...

shovel?
Or not to shovel? !
do not care!Seeing that Pires was about to enter the penalty area, and in the penalty area, Carson had already attacked, and the Frenchman could even hang the goal. Neil Gilckney roared in his heart, then he moved forward and kicked fiercely. The tackle went straight between Pires' legs!

Pires, who was dribbling the ball, felt the tackle behind him and tried to avoid the vicious tackle, but he was tripped by Neil Gilckney and fell down with a plop.

"Beep!" The referee Weber's whistle sounded without any suspense, and he ran towards the foul spot while blowing the whistle.

…………

At this time, Coloccini, who realized something was wrong, was the closest to the referee, and rushed forward to intercede for Neil Gilckney. He remembered that Gilckney had a yellow card, and if he was sent off If so, the game becomes more difficult.

"Mr. Referee! Sir! He really didn't mean it, he went for the ball!"

"It's not intentional, such an obvious shovel from behind, Pires is going to go it alone!" Vieira ran over and loudly put pressure on the referee. In fact, what he said was indeed correct, and Pires had already formed At this time, the captain of Arsenal is not worried that the referee will not give up the card. What he thinks is to arouse the anger of the Leeds United players as much as possible, and it is best to send another person off. He remembers that Ke Rocini also received a yellow card for uprooting Henry in the first half.

"You!" Coloccini, who was already irritable, immediately turned his head and glared at Vieira who was speaking, and Vieira was not to be outdone, and looked at Coloccini with provocative eyes.

"Mr. Referee, this is a standard red card! I think this foul is in the penalty area and should be a penalty kick!" Vieira said loudly, while not forgetting to look towards Coloccini. Sure enough, the Argentine His face was flushed, this is exactly what Vieira wanted, he wished that Coloccini would come up and attack him, so that Leeds United would be sent off 2 people at once.

…………

Just when Coloccini had already clenched his fists, Albertini came over, and he pulled Coloccini aside, and another veteran player beside him, Dubury, hugged him tightly with experience. The runaway Coloccini.Albertini saw Vieira's tricks, and naturally he would not let him succeed.

Vieira naturally knew that a veteran like Albertini had seen through his thoughts, so he didn't blush at all, and continued to speak loudly, putting pressure on the referee.

…………

"I'm the referee!" Webber glared at the Arsenal captain. Obviously, the referee could clearly see Vieira's fanning the flames. Well, Weber didn't have much camaraderie either.

…………

Neil Gilckney has been begging the referee and explaining non-stop. Although he also guessed that his explanation would not have any effect, he is not reconciled. If the team is sent off, they will It's dangerous, and he doesn't want to miss the final even more. Of course, this requires Leeds United to reach the final.

However, at this time, Neil Gilckney did not regret his tackle just now. If he had to say he regretted it, he regretted the yellow card he got because he was not calm in the first half, and the random pass just now. The ball led to an interception!

…………

Albertini was still pleading for Neil Gilckney, and Li Rui also came to plead for his friend, but he saw that the referee had put his right hand into his chest pocket.

Everyone knows that playing cards is inevitable. The difference is that a red card is shown directly, or two yellows turn into one red. But, no matter what, Neil Gilckney's FA Cup this season This is the end of the game, even if Leeds United can reach the final, he will miss this game.

…………

Sure enough, the referee, Weber, stretched out his right hand from his pocket, received a yellow card, and then drew out another red card, pointing to the sideline of the field to the desperate Neil Gilckney... motioning him to leave the field.

In the 70th minute of the game, Leeds United left winger Neil Gilckney was sent off with a red card because he accumulated two yellow cards!
Neil Gilckney first glanced at the court with infinite nostalgia, then he lifted his jersey to cover his face, and walked slowly towards the side of the court.

…………

Li Rui looked at Neil's back, and felt uncomfortable for a while. He knew best how much Neil valued this game, or the FA Cup champion. In normal training, Neil worked so hard. , this guy who almost retired due to injury knows how to cherish every game, and is even more eager for the honor on the court...

Now, at a time when the team might even be on the final stage, and he's leaving in this way...

…………

Li Rui ran over in two or three steps, put his arms around his friend's neck, and comforted him: "Neil, believe me, we will make it to the finals, your sacrifice is worth it."

Neil Gilckney shook his hands, nodded silently, and walked towards the edge of the court. Li Rui didn't blame him, he understood Neil's inner sadness...

Turning his head, Li Rui ran towards the stadium with his head down. In his heart, he has never been more eager to win this game than now. This feeling is even worse than when he knew that Jessica would come to see him. The competition is even stronger.

Just because Li Rui promised his friend, his brother, that he would bring him victory and stand in the finals——
Then, he will try his best to do it!

This is the team, this is the brothers!
