They were good at defensive counterattacks, but several players were too slow and made inaccurate passes, causing them to lose the game and victory.

Webb should have stopped the game immediately instead of allowing the two players to continue the confrontation for those few seconds. It was these seconds that Arsenal took away what was originally a glorious moment for Chelsea.

In short, this focus war has extended countless opinions. Arsenal is considered to have not lost its enterprising spirit, and Chelsea's invincibility argument has also died down. Now people's eyes have fallen on the Football Association. In their view, it has always been
**How does the Stupid Football Association deal with this referee crisis? According to British media reports, Wenger has also prepared more than ten pages of materials to complain about the referee and apply to revoke Van Persie's red card.
"Hey, Rafael, congratulations on winning the competition. How are you doing?"
Benitez, who was sitting at home, suddenly received a call from someone he had never expected.
"Hey, Arthur, I really didn't expect you to call me. Tell me, what's the matter? You wouldn't call me for no reason."
"Haha, no, I heard that your team also encountered some problems during the game. Are you interested in chatting? I am willing to be a listener." Wenger's meaning was obvious.
"Well, okay, let's find a place to chat tomorrow morning." Benitez thought for a while before finally agreeing...
"Pat, are your things ready?" Wenger adjusted his clothes and asked Pat next to him.
"Things are ready, but Arthur, you really have to appeal to the referee. You need to know those people..."
"I know this, but this opportunity is rare. The pressure from the FA is also very high now. We just need to give appropriate reminders. You know that our resistance has dropped too much now. I need this opportunity to avoid it as much as possible."
My players suffered some unnecessary injuries."
"Okay, I'll be very busy next."
Wenger smiled, got into the club car, and set off towards the FA headquarters.
Next, the pervasive reporters already knew that Wenger complained to the Football Association about the referee, but no one knew the specific content of the complaint, not even those within the Football Association. It was just said that Chairman David received the
After Wenger's complaint, he was very dissatisfied and stayed in the office with his most trusted man, Latga, for an entire afternoon.
"Damn Arthur, what on earth are you thinking? Doesn't he know that this is the British style for hundreds of years? No one can change it, and how to change it, do you want us to learn from La Liga?" David angrily wanted to get rid of his
Song Dynasty porcelain.
"David, I think Arthur should also know this. I don't think he wants to change these. He just proposed some of the referee's penalties and suggested promoting technical competition to make the game more enjoyable."
"Damn it, how can we promote it? Do you want us to play football to those dancers? Do you think our clubs are all wealthy? Leave him alone, does he still want to be the godfather of the Premier League?"
Having returned to the club, Wenger could imagine Chairman David furious in his office, while Wenger leaned on his chair and drank coffee comfortably.
In the next few days, reporters stationed in front of the Football Association made big discoveries one after another. Liverpool's head coach Benitez, Newcastle's Souness, Villa's head coach and a series of famous and non-famous people.
The coaches all came to the FA headquarters, but left in a hurry.
No one knows what specific things they went to do, but it is certain that it is related to the referee. Various newspapers have already surrounded the FA, and no trace of trouble can be hidden from these unlicensed agents.
, even David was so angry that he was constipated in the toilet and was exposed by some gossip reporters.
"Damn it, Matega, tell me, what do these coaches want to do? Do they really want to change British tradition? This is impossible, impossible."
"David, I think they are not like this. I think they understand what will happen to the fans when this point of view comes out. They probably just want to use this opportunity to reduce some unnecessary physical confrontation in the game. The style of these coaches
Most of them are players who appreciate technical skills, so I think they want a penalty that keeps their players on the pitch longer."
"Well, let me think about it...there are indeed too many players who are unwilling to come to us in recent years...but if we change, we will lose the support of the fans."
"Actually... we can actually not change it, but moderately strengthen some penalties for physical injuries. This will also be good for the technology and physical confrontation of the game. I think it may be more attractive to players and fans." Matt added.
Suggestion said.
"Well, let me think about it." Chairman David leaned on his seat and thought quietly.
After Wenger handed over a piece of information, he immediately started a new round of preparations. They will play Fulham on Tuesday. Wenger hopes that his players can maintain the good form of the first two rounds.
