My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 192 Butterfly flies across the sea
Stoke City manager Tony Pulis stood on the sidelines, watching his players with concern.

The audience at the Emirates Stadium obviously did not side with him. Whenever a Stoke City player took the ball or made a bigger move, the fans would boo without hesitation.

To Tony Pulis, these boos were not only for the team, but also for himself.

As a veteran of the professional league, the mere noise will naturally not cause any trouble to Tony Pulis, and most of the time, the more intense the boos from the home fans, the more effective the visiting strategy of Stoke City is.

But... what is going on right now?

Stoke City's tall center forward Peter Crouch flew out in front of his eyes, and the Stoke City players excitedly surrounded the perpetrator: Per Mertesacker.

The referee came over with a frown on his face, hesitated for a while, and did not take out the card.

As a professional referee, he is unlikely to change the enforcement standards set at the beginning of the game.

Which team the rules and standards favor is controllable, but double standards damage the referee's professional ethics.

Tony Pulis felt that the scene in front of him was so strange. Generally speaking, this would be when Arsenal players were brought down, and then the thin artists surrounded the referee angrily. This is a normal scene.

But now, what is this? The villains of Stoke City complained aggrievedly around the referee, as if they were the ones being bullied by Arsenal.

"Tony, they... they're like not afraid of taking cards and getting injured at all," Stoke City assistant manager told Tony Pulis.

The Stoke City coach frowned and observed the game that continued for a few minutes, then slowly said: "You are right."

On the field, Arsenal's players were extremely relaxed and engaged in physical confrontation. It could even be said that they were deliberately seeking physical confrontation.

Their head coach would applaud Arsenal's players passionately and exaggeratedly every time they won a physical confrontation, and Arsenal's players were as excited as beasts.

After all, the players are of different sizes and are not used to playing dirty tricks. But when they bravely fought against the Stoke City players, the "Sky City" who were accustomed to bullying teams with poor skills began to panic.

After a fierce but brief 10-minute confrontation, the Stoke City players, who were disheveled by the rain and mud in London, gave up their mad dog-like bite.

Because Arsenal's bite is no worse than theirs. Every time they lose the ball, the Gunners players counterattack on the spot with the same ferocity. Their shots are decisive and sharp, and they are quite risky - even the Stoke City players will be worried about this. Won't it cause injury?

Chen Yao knew that this would not cause injury.

Although he occasionally complains about his own system, for example, why other people's systems are all-powerful and omnipotent, while his own system can only give some insignificant buffs or give away some one-time props.

But he had a feeling that the system would not lie to people.

The props given to him by the system are useful.

In this game, Arsenal's players are invincible, and they cannot be injured in any case.

This belief seemed to be transmitted to the Gunners players on the field, who fought fearlessly.

Of course, Chen Yao has not never thought of using this ability to play something abstract, such as holding an opponent's player to death together, and the opponent's player was injured and left the field, while his own player remained unscathed.But this strategy is too limitless.

Moreover, the main reason why Chen Yao gave the players props in this game is to inject something into this team that is rich in elegance and art but lacks toughness, something that can make them better in future games, even in desperate situations. Anything that works.

Shawcross made a mistake.

After Stoke City gave up the mad dog bite, it honestly shrank back to its own penalty area.

In Arsenal's attack, Aaron Ramsey once again broke in from behind and broke into the penalty area in one of the most skillful tactical moves he has performed in his life.

That was Shawcross' defense zone.

Shawcross is no stranger to Ramsey. It was this Welshman who was almost made disabled by himself.

But when Shawcross was asked if he was sorry, Shawcross never truly apologized.

He doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong. In the game, he will always get injured.He didn't intend to commit murder, he was just too brave and excited when he tackled the ball.

Seeing Aaron Ramsey appear in front of him again, Shawcross stared at the Welshman, preparing to give him another kick.

Let God bless you and I just made a tackle.

Shawcross thought so, and the ball was sent into the penalty area by Kevin De Bruyne.

There is no doubt that De Bruyne has the vision to seize opportunities. The opportunity of this through ball made Chen Yao's eyes shine. This talent of broad vision is innate, and De Bruyne has now shown it.

The power of his passing was far from his peak level. The ball entered the penalty area in the rain and rolled on the mud. Neither Ramsey nor Shawcross touched it immediately. ball.

Shawcross immediately fell to the ground and shoveled. Regardless of whether there was someone in front of him or not, he was heading for the ball - at least he told himself that he was heading for the ball - and shoveled it.

He felt a sharp pain in his calf. The pain was like a blast shovel hitting a reinforced concrete wall. The pain continued from the sole of the foot, to the calf, to the knee joint, and then to the thigh.

Shawcross screamed loudly at that time. The person he tackled was Aaron Ramsey. The Welshman was startled by the impact on the outside of his socks. Before he could think about it, he jumped over and fell to the ground. Shawcross, shooting at Asmir Begovic.

The ball hit the net.

One to zero.

The referee's whistle did not sound. The referee on duty looked dumbfounded at Shawcross who fell to the ground and twitched in the penalty area. Ramsey and his teammates happily ran to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal.

The referee wiped his sweat. He had just seen Shawcross shoveling Ramsey in the penalty area. He was still considering whether it was a foul, but now he saw Shawcross as if he had been shoveled. Howling on the ground...

The Stoke City players surrounded Shawcross. Some of them walked towards the referee, but they did not dare to complain. They knew very well that the only ones who could kick in the penalty area were their own teammates.

Chen Yao celebrated happily on the sidelines. He laughed loudly: "Juan, Dennis, did you see it? This is so fun..."

Dennis Bergkamp said with a white face: "Before we celebrate, I want to ask a question."

"You ask."

"Aaron...Aaron, is he the Man of Steel?"

……

Sky Sports broadcast footage also replayed the clip repeatedly.

Kevin De Bruyne's through ball found his teammates in the penalty area. The force was a little smaller, bounced to the ground early, and was slowed down by the friction of the ground, so that neither player on either side could grab the ball immediately.

Aaron Ramsey ran back to catch the ball, and Shawcross put the tackle directly on the ground.

This is completely a no-look foul. As long as he touches Ramsey's side, it is an undisputed penalty kick.

"Did Shawcross have lost his mind, or did he have a harmful intention towards Ramsey?" The next scene is a miracle of physics.

Shawcross tackled Aaron Ramsey, but Ramsey remained unmoved and continued to control the ball as if nothing happened.

And Shawcross' leg had some deformation visible to the naked eye, as if he had been kicked against the wall.

Shawcross hugged his legs and howled in the mud. Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic was confused by Shawcross, and Ramsey took the opportunity to shoot the ball into the goal.

"It's hard for me to explain what happened... an absolutely flagrant foul by Shawcross, but instead of injuring Aaron Ramsey, he inflicted an injury on himself... But did he escape a red card? ?”

The situation on the field was extremely strange. Stoke City's team doctor was nervously checking Shawcross's injury. Arsenal's team doctor also dragged Ramsey, who was celebrating crazily, to sit down on the grass and check his ankle.

The difference is that Arsenal's players were talking and laughing around Ramsey, while Shawcross was rolling in pain in front of his own goal.

A few minutes later, the referee ran into the penalty area surrounded by Stoke City players...

A red card was given to Shawcross.

It was an unjustifiable flagrant foul, a tackle, and it was in the penalty area, directed at a useless person.

Even if Ramsey is not injured and scores a goal, this foul cannot be given lightly.

But Shawcross didn't have to leave the field by himself. The team doctor put him on a stretcher. Amidst the boos of the fans in the stadium, a confused Shawcross endured the pain and was carried off the field.

Aaron Ramsey watched from a distance as Stoke City doctors carried Shawcross off the field.

He saw Shawcross's pained face, but Shawcross did not open his eyes.

It's all over now, Ramsay thought.

He looked at his ankle and saw a deep mark there, but the team doctor told him that a medical miracle had happened and his ankle was unscathed.

Not even a scratch on the skin.

"You are very lucky, Aaron. Very, very lucky." Arsenal's team doctor had a weird look on his face. "Maybe it's an angle problem, or maybe it's a coincidence caused by the wet and muddy environment. Of course, it's also possible that you are Superman... In short, There's nothing wrong with you, and that guy..."

The team doctor looked at Stoke City with disdain, "Even if I have professional ethics, I still have to say that he deserves it."

So, it’s really all over.

I no longer need to be entangled in that nightmare, no longer afraid of confrontation, no longer hesitant to chase after my former self.

Aaron Ramsey took a deep breath and looked at the electronic screen. There were still seven and 10 minutes left in the game.

All the fans in the stadium were chanting their names.

The head coach stood on the sidelines and applauded himself. His smile made Ramsey feel like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

I feel like everything is coming back.

Ramsey jumped and returned to the court amid a tsunami of applause from [-] gun fans at the Emirates Stadium, with all eyes focused on him.

This is a massacre.

Stoke City, which faced the challenge with ten men, was pinned in the penalty area and was unable to fight back. What was worse was that they felt afraid and did not dare to physically confront the Arsenal players.

This was the first time Stoke City had encountered such a scene. Their physical and psychological defenses were broken. The tragic situation at Shawcross made these so-called villains frightened.

Chen Yao just wanted to laugh when he saw such a scene.Physical confrontation is of course a part of competitive sports, which is understandable, but any physical confrontation should have a bottom line.

Physical confrontation without a bottom line is just barbaric.

To use the rules of a football match to unscrupulously harm an opponent, and to say at the end, "This is just a football match, this is just an accident," is shameless.

And these ferocious "villains", when they discover that the price of barbarism and shamelessness will happen to them, they will be as cowardly as anyone else.

In the 25th minute, Arsenal passed from the wing, and Olivier Giroud scored with a header as if he was in no one's presence.

Two to zero.

In the 31st minute, De Bruyne went straight into the penalty area. Giroud held the Stoke City defender and knocked the ball with his heel. Griezmann stepped in and scored.

Three to zero.

In the 43rd minute, Aaron Ramsey found space outside the penalty area, and his long shot once again penetrated the goal guarded by Begovic.

Four to zero.

Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic really wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He didn't know what the significance of his appearance at the Emirates Stadium was.

The goalkeeper came close to arguing with the manager when Tony Pulis asked Begovic to concentrate at half-time.

The defense in front of him was useless. He was shot all over in one half, so how could he concentrate?
Besides, what's going on?Begovic didn't understand that his teammates were bullying others, and the result was self-defeating. Now he is as weak as a persimmon, being beaten by Arsenal and unable to find his way.

As one of the few players in Stoke City who has the ability and ambition to go to a big club, Begovic felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Maybe it’s time to leave these bastards this summer... I wonder if Arsenal on the opposite side is interested in accepting me?
In the second half, Arsenal's indiscriminate bombardment continued.

In the 65th and 72nd minutes, Arsenal scored two more goals.

One of them was a set-piece opportunity, Olivier Giroud scored twice from a corner kick, Begovic could not react well, and the Stoke player's face was just numb.

In the 72nd minute, there was a goal in a sports battle. Dani Carvajal made a 45-degree pass into the middle. Aaron Ramsey stepped in and succeeded in outflanking the shot, completing the hat trick.

Six to zero.

Near the end of the game, Arsenal's attack still did not stop. In the high-spirited Emirates Stadium and in the spring rain in London, Aaron Ramsey scored the fourth goal in stoppage time.

Begovic didn't even bother to make a save. Stoke City's defenders watched Ramsey complete his fourth goal, and then ran wildly in the rain.

He chased and chased, and finally caught up with his former self.

He broke through the rain and ran towards the dancing Arsenal flag like a ship sailing across the sea.

Like a butterfly flying across the sea.
