Green Destroyer

Chapter 119 Tragic Arsenal

"Drip, drip, drip!"

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, there were hardly 500 fans left in the main stand of the Emirates Stadium.

A photo from Sky TV has become the best microcosm of this game:

Against the background of the lights, a slightly blurred figure of No. 11 trots across the field. Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is standing on the sidelines. His body is wrapped in a thick long down coat, but he is still in the cold wind shivering.

His left hand seemed to want to slip into the pocket, but the strong zipper refused his insertion.

In the distance of this photo, there is a big red screen that records the time and score of the game:

45 minutes, 0-44!
-
"..."

In the live broadcast room of Sky TV, Alan Smith, a famous commentator in England and famous Arsenal star, was speechless for a while and almost fell into a choked sob.

His partner, Martin Taylor, is also still in shock:

"44-0... We all thought that Arsenal, who came off the bench, might usher in a miserable defeat, but even the craziest bookmakers didn't set the score to this point!"

Thousands of miles away in China, He Wei also expressed emotion:
"Look at these tranced Arsenal players. The manager's passive tactics made them the most disappointed people in the game, but... these players are not the most responsible."

His partner Xu Yang seemed a little distressed:
"That's right! If Wenger had paid more attention to and been more active in tactical arrangements, this game would never have come to this point!"
-
0-44 at halftime, this result, like a basketball game, undoubtedly shocked the entire football world overnight.

Facing the unintentional resistance of Arsenal, Chen Hao and Atletico Madrid actually did not perform exceptionally well. They only scored 17 goals just like the previous rounds of the league.

It's just...according to FIFA's regulations, in the UEFA Champions League final, trying to implement a new scoring standard, of the 17 goals, 11 goals came from within the small penalty area, 5 from the large penalty area, and 1 from within the penalty area. from outside the restricted area.

11*3+5*2+1*1的结果，正是44分！
Chen Hao did not occupy all the right to fire, he only scored 17 of the 11 goals, and he also selflessly provided two assists for his teammates.

Among the Atletico Madrid players, Griezmann and Koke scored twice, Gabi and Felipe also scored goals, and as many as 8 players completed assists. Blake both got double bonuses for zero seals and assists.

There is no doubt that the new rules introduced by FIFA have severely pitted Arsenal!
Wenger's team went from being the most powerful contender for the Premier League title overnight to the worst loser in football history! -
After this game, most of the media began to reflect on whether this new FIFA regulation shot itself in the foot?

The original intention of this new rule was to curb Chen Hao's long-range firing, but in this game, Atletico Madrid's No. 11 became Changshan Zhao Zilong on the Changban slope. The Emirates Stadium is regarded as its own private garden!
Almost everyone agrees on one thing:
If the game is not terminated halfway, but played for 90 minutes, then the 44-0 score is likely to continue to expand, and even... doubled to become 88-0!

That's real basketball scores!
Arsenal players who lose more and more will only become more and more desperate, while Atletico Madrid players with high morale will become the craziest butchers, chopping their opponents into pieces!

Dozens of mainstream media, led by the two authoritative media of Germany's "Kicker" and France's "L'Equipe", have voiced out:
"Why are we changing this rule? What is the point of this rule?"

At the same time, various sponsors of the Champions League and La Liga, especially various broadcast organizations, also protested against the new regulations:

"Nobody wants to watch a 45-minute game!"

"Advertisers during the intermission have already besieged our TV station!"

"Changing the rules midway, this is the worst bureaucracy!"

The president of FIFA, Infantino, is dumb and eats coptis. He can't tell what he has to suffer. He can only convene all kinds of people again, and reconvene a meeting to urgently discuss whether these rules should continue to exist.

Four days later, on February 2, when Chen Hao led Atletico Madrid to a 21-12 sweep of Villarreal with nine goals in La Liga, FIFA finally announced:

"After a short-term trial, some of the new rules announced before are not compatible with the development laws of modern football, so the use of the new rules on the half-time end of the game and the scoring rules is urgently stopped, and the rest of the rules continue to be implemented."

In order to fulfill his promise of running for the election, Infantino amended the regulations too impatiently, only to restrict Chen Hao, who is rampant in Europe.

But in the face of an even more brutal reality score, this big bald head was slapped hard on the mouth!
His eating is too ugly!
-
Due to the revocation of some new regulations, the match between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid was also restored from 0-44 to 0-17, which finally did not look so tragic.

Wenger's team has also risen from the team with the worst score in football history to the worst score in the history of the Champions League, breaking the 2008-2009 record between Bayern Munich and Sporting Lisbon in the 12-1 season...

However, they don't need to be too sad. As time goes by, their shameful record will probably be rewritten by the successors soon, right? -
Atletico Madrid defeated Villarreal very simply, but Arsenal, which was ridiculed by the entire football world, is still in a downturn.

Although most of the main players were hidden in the Champions League, the shadow of this fiasco permeated the entire club.

Returning to the league, Wenger used all his main force to face Manchester United, which was also in a bleak situation recently, but was beaten 4-2 by the Dutch coach Van Gaal, who was on the verge of being laid off, in a classic match!

Red Devil star Rashford completed a hat-trick, making Arsenal players think they saw Atletico Madrid's No. 11 player in a trance!
In order to win this hard-won victory, Van Gaal even used his old body to stage a flopping performance in front of the fourth official on the sidelines that was enough to be loaded with football mistakes!

Arsenal lost, but their rivals continued to triumph. Leicester City beat Norwich City 1-0, re-extending their lead to 5 points.

It may take at least two weeks for Arsenal to restore their morale, but... after two weeks, they will go to Madrid to participate in the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals!

Will their morale... recover?

Their league title...is there still hope?
-
The culprit behind the collapse of Arsenal's season has no shame at all.

On February 2, Chen Hao attended the pre-match press conference for the 26th round of La Liga.

This press conference was arranged in the press hall of the Bernabeu, because the upcoming is the second Madrid city derby this season!

Real Madrid captain Ramos was barely able to get out of bed before, but there is still a long recovery period before returning to the court. The entire Real Madrid club regards Chen Hao as the biggest thorn in the side!
Even before he entered the Bernabeu, he had already received a "warm welcome" from the Real Madrid fans!
Facing the ill-intentioned Real Madrid press officer and the Marca reporters in the audience, Chen Hao remained as confident as ever:
"Although the new FIFA rules have only been implemented for less than a month, I feel very empty during this month, because I can only play a maximum of 45 minutes a week, and even only played 8 minutes in one game. Minutes! My feet are almost rusty!
But thank God, FIFA finally withdrew this rule again, and I can finally walk my footsteps all over the stadium freely again, and... the first stadium that welcomes me is the legendary football temple , Bernabeu! "

"I can't wait to play! I want to play the precious 90 minutes!"

He laughed harmlessly, but Real Madrid coach Zidane couldn't help but feel frightened.

If God exists, bless this bastard for stumbling on the turf at the Bernabéu!
