128 Champions League opener

The inertia driven by high running made Sun Xiang roll two or three times on the grass before stopping.

The ankle on his right foot was burning, but he had no time to take care of it, and his anger had already made him forget about it.

"Hey! You bastard, are you a butcher?" Sun Xiang stood up and cursed. Although Pepe was a little taller than himself, he always kept looking straight and glared at him with his eyes that ignited the flames.

"This is the professional league. If you are not used to it, go back to study." Pepe's tone was consistent. No matter how the other party mocked him, he was calm. This is also the most effective way to anger his opponent.

Sun Xiang walked into his trap step by step.

"Go to your fucking professional league!" Sun Xiang could no longer stand his arrogant attitude, and reached out to push him hard.

This is what Pepe was waiting for and lay on the ground.

"Doudu!" Three times of sound, the referee ran over.

All this happened too quickly, and the referee had not had time to run back. However, he saw the whole process of this foul.

The result was that both sides played 50 big boards, each with a yellow card.

Now, the players of both teams were not happy. Arsenal believed that Pepe's tackle had seriously hindered the scoring opportunity, and it was a tackle behind him, which was obviously a red card.

Besiktas believed that Sun Xiang would be verbally insulted after he got up, and his later non-professional sports and moral actions should be sentenced to death.

"Martin, what do you think of this ball? Do you think the referee's penalty is reasonable?" Alan Smith asked.

"Unreasonable, yellow cards are definitely not allowed to escape. If you are more demanding, you can even give a red card, which is controlled by the referee. But Pepe's foul is obviously a red card. Even if he touches the ball, it is an obvious opportunity to face the goalkeeper's attack. I don't understand why the referee only gives red cards?"

According to FIFA's red card rules: the second time the yellow card is shown

Serious fouls, including interception from behind, endangering the safety of opponent players;

violent acts;

Spit at the opponent's players or other people;

Deliberate handball causes the opponent to score a goal or an obvious chance to score a goal;

When a player is pushing towards the goal and forming a clear chance to score, he is damaged by a deliberate foul by the opponent, which shall be awarded a direct free ball or penalty;

Use aggressive, insulting or spoiling words;

Deliberate handball in the penalty area.

Martin Taylor believes that Pepe has met the red card standards, which is a necessary red card action.

After a series of questions from players on both sides, the referee ran to the sideline's sideline's sideline. The lineman was the closest to the sideline, so he sought advice from him.

After communicating with the lineman for more than ten seconds, the referee returned to the center circle, and at this time his hand was already facing behind him.

Those who know football basically know what it means to hold the referee back behind his hands. The symbol of the red card at that time.

"The referee is going to give a red card, and it seems that the lineman can see it very clearly."

However, what no one expected was that this red card was shown to Sun Xiang, who belonged to the victim.

Direct red card and expelled!

Once the red card is shown, the referee is obliged to not answer or explain, and resume the game in a very short time.

Arsenal players were stunned when they saw this scene. Did the referee make a mistake in the card?

All of Besiktas's players applauded, and they wanted this scene to appear earlier.

"Mr. Referee, what is this consciousness!" Koscheerney stepped forward to question, thinking that his team had been subjected to an unfair punishment.

But the referee used his rights and ignored them.

In his opinion, Sun Xiang's single shot is not a direct and obvious scoring opportunity, and Pepe's foul is not malicious. On the contrary, Sun Xiang's words were the reason why he showed a red card, which was already insulting words.

Although Sun Xiang spoke Chinese when he finally pushed Pepe, the knowledgeable referee could guess that in this case, the player's words were not good words.

He has made the final decision for this red card!

Not only Arsenal players, but their coaching team couldn't sit still in the coaching seat, pressing the fourth official while loudly questioning the referees.

To no avail, Sun Xiang's departure was a foregone conclusion.

The dispute lasted for 5 minutes, and finally Sun Xiang left the stadium under the escort of his teammates.

"Don't worry, sun, we will repay you for this tone!" This is what Casorla said to Sun Xiang before returning to the stadium.

Subsequently, it has to be said that this incident had a great blow to Arsenal. Not only Sun Xiang was sent off the court, but even Arsenal's tactical master Gray was invited to the stands, which made Wenger lose his reassurance.

After Sun Xiang left the court, their offense always seemed a little too difficult, and the mentality was unbalanced, which allowed Besiktas' players to seize the opportunity to form a siege. If it weren't for the overall defense, they would probably have conceded the ball in this slump period.

"I won't talk about the things on the court anymore. Everyone focuses on the court! Those are the referee's issues, but we can't pay more."

"It is difficult to score a goal in the second half, but it is also very important. Because the next game of Sun will face the penalty of suspension. If we get a away goal, it will be much easier for us to return to home."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Wilshire next to him: "Jack, you will play in the second half! The whole team will implement the third set of tactics."

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal requested a substitution, removed Zachar from the middle of the midfield and replaced the "Prince" Willshere.

Although the team has practiced Sun Xiang’s tactics in rehearsals, Willsheer was able to make up for the gap in the middle after Sun Xiang left the court, but his creativity in passing was slightly inferior. Moreover, in the situation of ten to eleven, Willsheer’s problem of sticking to the ball was fully exposed, and sometimes he always missed the best opportunity to get the ball.

He only plays less and has to take the ball into his own hands, making Arsenal's offense seem a bit slow.

Fortunately, the team performed very well on the defensive end in the second half and did not give Besiktas too much shooting opportunity. At the same time, Quaresma and Negrado's defense was also very good at the opponent's two major offensive points.

Finally, with one less away game, Arsenal struggled to draw Besiktas. After that, both sides will set their last stop in London eight days later.

After the game, Arsenal immediately appealed to UEFA, intending to revoke Sun Xiang's suspension penalty. UEFA responded to the evidence.

The news came back and it surprised Arsenal very much, indicating that Sun Xiang's punishment may be revoked, so that Sun Xiang can play again in the home game. So the Arsenal team quickly started to collect evidence and other matters.

....................................................................................................

Four days later, on August 24, the second round of the British League began. Arsenal went to Goodison Park Stadium to challenge the "Toffees" Everton.

The good news is that the red cards in the Champions League and the League are not interoperable, so Arsenal can once again send all the main players including Sun Xiang to play.

Rooney scored twice in the first half, and Sun Xiang assisted Giroud and Bellerin to tie the score in the second half. In the end, the two sides shook hands 2:2.
