Chapter 213 Tottenham's Counterattack
Seeing that the referee actually announced that the goal was valid, Tottenham players were naturally extremely dissatisfied with the penalty result. Ridley King rushed over at the first time and protested to Bennett in an extremely strong tone!
Bennett was also not vague. Seeing that Ridley King was so rude to him, the guy took out a yellow card from his shirt pocket and showed it to the Tottenham captain!
However, Bennett's verdict not only did not calm the situation, but instead aroused strong dissatisfaction among Tottenham fans - not to mention that Bennett, you dare to take care of Arsenal blatantly at our home court and announced that Henry's previous free kick sneak attack was valid. Why did you even show a yellow card when we even protested?
This is White Hart Lane, not Highbury! If you want to please Arsenal here, you have to hold on to the enlightenment of being sent out by a stretcher at the end of the game!
For a moment, deafening boo sounded in the stands on the White Hart Lane Stadium. Needless to say, the protagonist who enjoyed this boo was naturally Henry, who had just scored for Arsenal with extremely despicable means (the perspective of Tottenham fans) and Bennett, the referee on duty who was recognized as the "black whistle" by Tottenham fans!
Hearing the booing from the stands and the insults mixed with vulgar words, Bennett's face turned dark. Although he was the boss on the court, Bennett did not have the ability to clear out all the tens of thousands of fans in the stands. If he really did this, the final result would definitely be thrown out by his own boss, that is, pgmoL, as the culprit, to calm the public's anger.
"I bought a table last year!" At the same time, George, who saw this scene, couldn't help but be furious and cursed on the sidelines. "The rules of free kicks are indeed written. Attacking players can choose to directly speed up the free kick without requiring the defending players to retreat 9.15 meters. Conceding the ball is our own failure to study the rules thoroughly, and it is our own fault. But why did you not even explain, just give a golden card warning?!"
When Bennett announced that Henry's goal was valid, George had no objection to the judgment. After all, most of the reason for the conceding of the goal was themselves. Henry also used the rules reasonably, which was a bit opportunistic at best, but Bennett then gave Ridley King a yellow card too much. You know, although the tone of Tottenham's captain's tone was fierce, there was no disrespect to Bennett in words. Bennett didn't even explain and directly gave a yellow card, which directly intensified the conflict. It would be strange if Tottenham was not furious.
"Mr. Viscount, please show your mercy." Hearing George's angry scolding, the fourth official walked up to him and said with a wry smile, "Otherwise, I will be very difficult to do when the game is over."
"What? That guy Bennett can keep his eyes closed and he doesn't allow me to do it..." George glared at the eye, but was hugged and dragged away by the fast-eyed old Charlie!
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Referee. George is just too excited and has no malice. Please don't be accustomed to it." Unlike George, who was young and energetic and unable to suppress his anger, the knowledgeable old Charlie knew very well that the most important thing to do at this time was not to argue with the referee, but to find a way to get back the disadvantage of this ball!
"It's okay, I don't mind." Seeing Old Charlie say this, the fourth official waved his hand generously and said in a low voice, "To be honest, I think the judgment of the referee Bennett is indeed questionable, and Mr. Viscount's behavior is completely understandable."
Thanks to George's identity as Viscount Coschelt, the other party was worried when taking action. Otherwise, the fourth official would not have been so kind, and he would have reported it to the Discipline Committee long ago.
"Sorry, I was really too impulsive just now, I hope you can understand." At this time, George, who had calmed down, also came over to apologize to the fourth official. To be honest, George was also a little scared at this time. If he got a red card and was kicked out of the field by Bennett for this reason, then the hope of Tottenham's turnaround in this North London derby would really become slim.
Next, George, who calmed down his good mood, called the indignant Tottenham players to his side and scolded them hard, and explained the latest tactical arrangements to these players one by one: "Don't complain to the referee about the previous lost goal. Do you think it's not embarrassing enough? There is no problem with Henry's goal. It can only be said that this cunning Frenchman made full use of the relevant rules. It is natural for us to be punished if we don't understand this provisions... Also, now you all cheer me up! Henry is just one goal behind his opponent, why do you look like the end of the world is about to come?!"
"Occurrence! I ask everyone to devote their energy to the offense next! Don't Arsenal, the clever bunny, want to hit our counterattack? Then let them see how terrible Tottenham is, who is attacking with all their strength!"
Wenger, don't you want to play a defensive counterattack? Then let me see how long the tortoise shell made by Arsenal can last under our Tottenham's offensive! Looking at the Tottenham players who screamed and returned to the court, George thought in his heart. He has never had any doubts about the offensive ability of this Tottenham. However, because Cech's previous record of continuous goals conceded was too amazing, everyone, including Tottenham players, unconsciously regards Tottenham as a team with strong defense and strong offense, can only be said to be a good team, ignoring that Tottenham has many future superstars such as Robben, Drogba, Klose, Cristiano Ronaldo, and has a complete offensive system. How could it be a team with mediocre offensive end?
So, after the game started, the Tottenham players continued to attack the Gunners' goal without changing their minds. The Arsenal players couldn't help but feel happy when they saw this, and thought that their opponents really didn't have a memory. After they scored a goal with a quick counterattack, they still dared to attack like this.
However, the game was beyond the expectations of Arsenal players. With the dispatch of Xavi Alonso and the assistance of Bastulk, the threat coefficient of the trident composed of Robben, Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo continued to rise in the frontcourt. Especially Drogba in the center position. The Ivorians performed extremely active during this period, dribbling the ball continuously to win Sigan and Kloe Toure, using their strong strength and the flexibility of traditional center forwards to bully the two. For a moment, Arsenal's goal was in a panic, and it seemed that the opponent could break the goal at any time!
