In the stands of the Emirates Stadium, boos and insults filled the air.
The Arsenal fans were completely enraged.
The international Milanese were gloating and watching the show.
"That punch was so cool!" Mata even whistled, which made the Arsenal players unhappy. Captain Zanetti quickly glared at Mata, meaning to tell him not to cause trouble.
Then, Zanetti called for all the Inter Milan players to retreat to their own half of the field, away from the "scene of the incident." Arsenal was uncontrollable at this time, and he did not want Inter Milan to get into trouble.
The Arsenal side was in a mess, and the Inter Milan players were curious and excited. Mata, Carlos, and the other young players were even tiptoeing to look into the distance, gloating.
On the sidelines, the Arsenal manager, Wenger, was about to explode. The team was three goals behind, and there was a scandal of their captain and his teammate fighting on the field. This was simply infuriating!
On the other side, Li Ang looked surprised. He had asked the players to attack Clichy's side because he saw the conflict between Gallas and Clichy. However, the main reason was that he guessed that Clichy was not in good condition, especially after the verbal conflict with Gallas. This would be Inter Milan's breakthrough point. He never thought that not only would they get another goal from Clichy, but they would also get such a "big surprise."
After the surprise, Li Ang laughed unkindly. He really could not hold it in.
Li Ang also turned his head to look at Arsenal's technical area. When he saw the professor so angry that he was about to faint, he smiled and shook his head. This was simply a continuous slap to Wenger's face. Pa, pa, pa.
*****
The commentators were also in an uproar.
"This is an unprecedented scandal! Gallas and Clichy will be nailed to the pillar of shame because of this game! They are famous, completely famous, more famous than ever before! "
"Arsenal lost the game and lost the players!" Ferrari did not forget to add insult to injury and dig at Arsenal. "There have been teams that have collapsed because of a terrible loss, but Arsenal has created history by collapsing to the point that their players have internal strife and directly fought on the field."
Ferrari obviously did not pay much attention to the Premier League. In fact, there was a precedent for Gallas and Clichy fighting against each other. On April 3, 2007, in the 31st round of the Premier League that year, Newcastle United lost to Aston Villa 0-3 at home. In the game, a total of three Newcastle United players were sent off with red cards. Other than Taylor, who was sent off for handball in the penalty area in that game, the most jaw-dropping thing was that two Newcastle United players, Bowyer and Dale, actually fought in the midfield. As a result, both of them were sent off with red cards. This not only caused Newcastle United to lose face in front of tens of thousands of fans at home, but also destroyed their reputation in British football.
"Gallas and Krishna, they're almost reenacting what happened to Bowyer and Dale a year ago! Were they paying their respects to the two seniors? Damn it! " Eddie Gray said mercilessly. He was furious. "This is a disgrace to Arsenal and a disgrace to the Premier League!"
"Manager Wenger is going to faint from anger." A commentator suddenly pitied the professor.
*****
Wenger did not faint from anger. Perhaps the professor wished that he did not faint from anger so that he did not have to face such a terrible and embarrassing scene. The elegant professor was finally angry. He kicked the tactical board away. "Damn it!!!"
In the words of The Sun after the game, if Gallas and Clichy were in front of him, Wenger might want to strangle the two players.
With Arsenal trailing by 0-3, these two players made such a scene. Not only was it shameful and humiliating, it also meant that Arsenal would have to fight with nine players!
That's right!
A red card!
The referee, Hansen, rushed over and did not hesitate to take out a red card. First, he showed it to Clichy, who gave a beautiful left hook, and then showed the red card to the Arsenal captain, Gallas.
Fighting on the field was an absolute red card. The referee would not let them off just because they were not attacking the opponent's players. It was not okay to hit the opponent's players, but it was also not okay to hit one's own players.
Clichy walked to the sidelines without looking back. He had played too sullenly in this game. He admitted that he was not in good condition and that he was partly responsible for conceding the goal. But was it all his fault? He did his best!
Wenger looked at Clichy coldly and did not go up to comfort him. Under the "escort" of the camera, the French left back walked into the players' tunnel without looking back.
The boos in the stands of the Emirates Stadium rang out. The Arsenal fans could only vent their strong dissatisfaction in this way.
The other player who was sent off, the Arsenal captain, Gallas, also left the field. However, he did not go directly to the locker room, but stayed on the sidelines. Clichy's punch was not light and Gallas was injured.
Wenger looked over and asked the team doctor with his eyes.
"His cheekbone may be fractured," the team doctor said.
"F * ck!" The professor burst out. He wanted to cut someone.
*****
"You said that if Mr. Wenger was a knife at this time, would he cut Gallas?" Is he going to kill Gallas or Krishna? "Banderas asked unkindly.
"Gallas!" Mihailovic said with a smile. Gallas was the captain, so Gallas had more responsibility for this matter.
"Kill yourself," Li Ang said suddenly.
"What?" The two assistants were stunned and then understood. They could not help but laugh.
The camera faithfully transmitted the situation in the Inter Milan technical area to the audience and fans. They naturally saw the Inter Milan technical area talking and laughing.
"That's so unkind!"
"Manager Li Ang did not hide his emotions at all."
"Why does he have to hide it?"
"Arsenal is fighting among themselves. How can he blame me?!"
The fans in front of the television were overjoyed.
"Manager Li Ang did not hide his happiness." The commentator, Ferrari also said with a smile, "Three nil at half time is already a very incredible score, and Arsenal has given such a big gift …"
*****
The matter was finally resolved.
The referee signaled the players from both sides to stand in formation again.
Arsenal kicked off in the center circle.
Without waiting for the Arsenal players to kick the ball out, referee Hansen blew the whistle at the end of the first half. Even though there was at least three to five minutes of stoppage time in the first half because of what had just happened, he did not give any stoppage time at all.
After the game, the media also praised referee Hansen's handling method, which was rare: to immediately enter the halftime break to ease the emotions of both sides of the game, especially on Arsenal's side, and not to cause more trouble.
The Arsenal players hung their heads and walked dejectedly to the players' tunnel.
The Inter Milan players had smiles on their faces. They even whispered to each other, their faces beaming with joy. However, after receiving a warning from their captain, Zanetti, no one spoke loudly to avoid provoking the Arsenal players.
The Inter Milan players returned to the away team's locker room.
Their manager pressed his hands on the table, glanced around, and began to speak.
"We scored three goals, but Arsenal stole our limelight at the last moment."
These words caused a roar of laughter. Everyone was overjoyed.
Li Ang did not stop them. In fact, he was also happy.
When everyone was done laughing, Li Ang's face straightened. "So, in the second half, how many goals can we score?"
