Chapter 554: Veteran Flamini
Flamini rushed up from Diego Costa's diagonally behind, and then he saw the football that the opponent was about to adjust, and then fell to the ground and shoveled it.

It's just that Diego Costa didn't notice the movement behind him, and Flamini arrived when he swung the ball slightly forward.

"foul!!"

Naturally, Flamini failed to grab the football. His outstretched foot just hit Diego Costa's supporting foot, and then the Atletico Madrid striker lost his center of gravity and fell down.

The referee Rizzoli blew his whistle!
"Red card!!!" Atletico Madrid fans were excited.

"Dive!!!" The Arsenal fans, not to be outdone, responded immediately.

Flamini wanted to get up from the ground and pull the opponent up, and then try to escape a yellow card as a friendly gesture.It was just obvious that someone was one step ahead of him, and when he got up from the ground, Diego Costa was already standing in front of him.Without any warning from the French midfielder, the Atletico Madrid striker directly pushed Flamini away in front of him, and then glared at him with a fierce face-in fact, Diego Costa did not do it on purpose This look is more vicious depending on his appearance.

Flaminio was instantly outraged.

I kindly want to come up to express my friendliness to you, what do you mean by that?I didn't mean it, motherfucker!
Flamini was very angry and wanted to rush to find the other party's theory, but was hugged by Li Zihan.

"Don't get excited, Mathieu, don't get excited. Think about who he is, and think about the boss' instructions before the game." Li Zihan whispered into Flamini's ear as he hugged Flamini.

Mathieu Flamini, who was still angry, recalled Wenger's exhortation before the game: "Diego Costa is a cunning striker, not only reflected in his goals and dribbling. At the same time It is also reflected in his areas other than football. For example, he is good at irritating the opponent's defensive players, allowing the opponent to preconceive some personal grievances when defending him, which eventually leads to fouls. He can even jump the opponent's anger, and then make the opponent Received two yellow cards and was sent off."

Flamini gave a jolt and woke up immediately.

It is very important for Flamini to see this Champions League final. Flamini was with Arsenal when Arsenal broke into the Champions League for the first time in history. At that time, they lost to Barcelona at the last minute and finally returned home.

For this matter Flamini brooding, especially after Arsenal failed to reach the Champions League final.

Therefore, Flamini pinned the regret of the last time on this final. He hopes that his career at Arsenal can end perfectly with a Big Ears Cup champion.

He is 30 now and his time at Arsenal is running out.

Therefore, Flamini chose to endure Diego Costa's provocation. He is no longer a 20-year-old kid who doesn't know the severity.

In fact, Flamini and Li Zihan also wronged Flamini. Diego Costa did not intend to provoke but was really angry.

As we all know, he was brought to fight in this crucial final. Before the game, the team doctor had told the head coach and himself that he would definitely not be able to play the entire game unless he did not want to participate in this summer's competition. Football event - the World Cup!

Therefore, he is destined to be replaced halfway, and when he is replaced depends entirely on the degree of violation by the opponent on the court and the tolerance of his ankle.

The reason why Simeone put Diego Costa in the starting lineup instead of coming off the bench is that before the game, everyone thought that Diego Costa would miss the final due to injury, and Simeone let him start to play against Arsenal. caught off guard.

In fact, it is Simeone who wants to use the attack power of Diego Costa and David Villa to open Arsenal's goal, and then in the following games he can use a midfielder or a midfielder to replace the opponent. Go Costa, focus on defending - this is what Atletico Madrid is currently good at.

Rizzoli came up to separate Flamini and Diego Costa, but in fact Flamini had already been pulled away by Li Zihan.

Symbolically giving the French midfielder a yellow card, Rizzoli pointed to the position under his feet and gave Atletico Madrid a direct free kick in the frontcourt.

Cork took a free kick, Villa and the captain's central defender Godin were responsible for the header, while Diego Costa and Gabi were responsible for the response and You Ge, Thiago and Raul Garcia were responsible for the header Interfere with walls and goalkeepers.

But Villa's header was interfered by Modesat, and instead of exerting force, it was robbed by Ramsey.

Ramsey took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack and handed the ball to Li Zihan in front.Li Zihan, who is Arsenal's sharp counterattack weapon, is about to increase his speed in an instant. He intends to use the opportunity of the opponent's set-piece attack to completely launch a very threatening counterattack. It would be even better if he can score a goal.

But Kirk clearly understood how much of a threat Li Zihan was to his side, so when Li Zihan just started to speed up, Kirk directly slid and brought down Li Zihan who was dribbling the ball.

Cork also knew Li Zihan's free kick skills, so he didn't dare to let the opponent enter his backcourt to make a foul. That would undoubtedly give the opponent a more difficult penalty!

Li Zihan was knocked down by the opponent, and fell to the ground in pain.

Because Kok knew Li Zihan's ability and his determination to never give up in the face of any difficulty, he used more force when fouling, and the angle was more obvious.

"This is a tactical foul. Li Zihan's quick counterattack fell to the ground so powerfully. Perhaps the other [-] teams in the Premier League have a deep understanding, so Cork did not dare to be careless and fouled in advance to stop the opponent."

Tactical foul?Arsenal's players don't take this set.

Ramsey and Wilshere immediately surrounded Koke, the core midfielder of Atletico Madrid, while Flamini, who had played in the Italian Serie A and knew some Italian, ran up to the referee to complain.

Flamini thought it was an explosive malicious foul by the opponent: "He definitely did it on purpose. I accidentally brought his teammate down just now, so he immediately retaliated. See how much Li fell to the ground. Painful? It hurts just to look at it, so he definitely did it on purpose. Can’t let a player like this stay on the court, he must be sent off, otherwise he will ruin this great game!"

Flamini added a lot of embellishments.

"I see it very clearly, Mr. Flamini, I know exactly how to punish him!" Rizzoli replied vaguely.

Of course, Flamini could not have naively thought that the referee could give the opponent a red card with just a few words. He just used words to interfere with the referee's judgment.Let the referee feel that Arsenal has suffered a big loss, and then the referee will try to give Arsenal some advantages in subsequent games, without affecting the principled issues.

This is also a kind of tactics.

Of course, it is impossible for Rizzoli to give Cork a red card, otherwise the very personal coach Simeone might rush into the field to find him "talk about life and ideals", although he is not afraid.

Rizzoli just gave Cork a yellow card, and then gave Arsenal a free kick in the backcourt-the free kick at the front of the penalty area, no matter how good Li Zihan's skills are, there is no way.

Arsenal could only choose an indirect free kick. Since the referee gave a yellow card, even if Arsenal wanted to take a quick free kick to catch the opponent by surprise, they couldn't do it.

"The anger on both sides is not small. The game has only started for more than 30 minutes, and the referee Rizzoli has already given four yellow cards and two penalties."

The game continued, only affected by the two yellow cards of Flamini and Cork, both sides began to make big moves.

"Rizzoli has to find a way to control the rhythm of the game, and it is very likely that something will happen. Since Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have not entered the Champions League final for many years, both sides are watching this game very seriously and are also very nervous. .”

Atlético Madrid continued to play their defensive counterattacks, while Arsenal continued to attack.

Only this time there were some changes in Arsenal's offense. Flamini did not stay in the backcourt to defend, but stared to participate in the offense. His header from the back caught Atletico Madrid twice in a row by surprise— —Because in the first three 10 minutes of the game, Arsenal did not have a few high ball crosses.

Ramsey returned to the backcourt defense.

"Wenger's arrangement may not only be due to the change of the offensive end, but also the defensive end. Flamini has already received a yellow card, so he is definitely not suitable to continue to defend Diego Costa. Fight back, otherwise it is very likely that the opponent will get a second yellow card and leave the field. In this kind of game, whoever has one less player to fight will be the first to leave the championship stage. Ramsey is currently innocent, and there are also Good defensive ability, so he is very suitable, the key is that he can keep up with his young speed and turning!"

Li Zihan is the main support of Arsenal's offense, so he is the person who has been violated the most times in the game, and even Diego Costa has been violated far less than him-comparison of Diego Costa during this period silence.

"Now Arsenal is almost dominating the game. Their possession rate during this period has reached a terrifying 60.00%[-], but this rate of goals has not turned into a goal."

"Arsenal's way of playing is correct. As long as you stick to it, goals will come sooner or later."

"Li is very smart. His offense is basically from Atletico Madrid's central defender Miranda, because Miranda is no longer in shape after returning from injury, and secondly, he has already received a yellow card, so in defense It will definitely shrink your hands and feet."
