When Van Persie scored a goal, the Barcelona fans at the stadium let out extremely high-decibel boos.
Even several kilometers away, one could feel the noise coming from Camp Nou.
Van Persie himself did a slide in front of the Barcelona fans, which further provoked thunderous boos at Camp Nou.
Seeing this scene, Fly couldn't help but recall some unpleasant memories.
If he remembered correctly, in the original timeline, after Van Persie scored a goal for Manchester United at Emirates Stadium, he directly did a slide in front of the Arsenal fans.
Many Arsenal fans started to put Van Persie on the 'lifetime black' list after this incident.
Thinking of this, Fly suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed.
In the 25th minute of the match.
Barcelona continuously shifted the ball through the midfield, frantically pulling apart Arsenal's defense.
After pulling apart the defense several times, Xavi seized the opportunity and, while Arsenal's defenders were still returning to their positions, sent a through ball into the Arsenal penalty area.
Iniesta, who had great chemistry with Xavi, suddenly surged forward. By the time he received the ball, he was already a body length ahead of Varane and Koscielny.
Facing the trembling Szczęsny in front of the goal, Iniesta unleashed a shot, and the ball directly turned into a white streak and flew into the top left corner of the goal.
Facing such a shot directly at the goalkeeper with a tricky angle, no goalkeeper would have been able to stop it.....
After Van Persie pulled back a goal, Barcelona quickly scored again.
The current score is 2:1, with Barcelona temporarily leading.
The aggregate score over two legs is 5:7, with Barcelona still trailing by two goals.
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 8, Iniesta!!!"
"Barcelona's counterattack came quickly. Only 5 minutes passed before they scored again, continuing to lead Arsenal by one goal. They are currently still trailing Arsenal by two goals on aggregate. The suspense of this match is truly at its peak..."
"Next, let's see how Arsenal will respond?"
"Fly, I think it's time for you to step up."
Seeing the team concede another goal so quickly, Fly was truly speechless...
With this shoddy defense, if it weren't for him, Fly, having this cheat code in the front field, Arsenal wouldn't know when they would win their first Champions League trophy.
It's just too weak!
After Iniesta scored Barcelona's second goal of the match, like Messi, he didn't celebrate but quickly rushed into the goal to retrieve the ball.
For the Barcelona players now, every minute and every second is precious.
They still need two goals to complete the comeback, and now is not the time to be joking around.
In the 29th minute of the match.
An unexpected collision directly caused Arsenal to lose a key player.
Barcelona forward Villa, while surging forward to chase Xavi's pass, collided with Szczęsny, who had come out to collect the ball, ultimately resulting in the latter lying on the grass for a long time without getting up.
"What the heck.... Could this be historical inertia?"
Seeing Szczęsny get injured and substituted in the second leg of Arsenal vs Barcelona, just like in his previous life, Fly couldn't help but rub his forehead.
It's important to note that in his previous life, when Arsenal played against Barcelona this season, the second leg caused a lot of controversy.
Arsenal was doing well when Szczęsny was on the field, but as soon as he was substituted, the replacement, the terrible Almunia, conceded three goals in just 45 minutes.
This ultimately led to Arsenal being overturned by Barcelona at Camp Nou.
Besides Szczęsny's injury and substitution, the most controversial aspect of this match was Van Persie's red card.
Of course, according to the rules, Van Persie choosing to shoot after the Main Referee blew the whistle is not wrong for the Main Referee to show him a yellow card...
But the point of controversy is that Van Persie at this time already had a yellow card. If the Main Referee gave him another yellow card at this moment, the result would be two yellow cards turning into a red card, and he would be directly sent off.
Generally speaking, the officiating in important matches is very cautious. To put it bluntly, they will exercise discretion and hold back.
Unless it's a particularly obvious foul, a player is generally not easily sent off.
This is also considered an unwritten rule on the football field.
Van Persie's shooting action after the whistle was in the category of "can be given or not given."
Even if the Main Referee didn't give it at this time, no one would say anything.....
But the Main Referee ultimately gave it, directly leading to Arsenal playing with one less player, and then Barcelona scoring two consecutive goals to complete the comeback.
It is normal for this type of officiating to cause controversy after the match, even if there is nothing to criticize from a rule perspective.
However, this kind of implicit biased officiating in situations that are "judgable or not judgable" will indeed be criticized by fans.
This is also how referees often manipulate matches, but compared to the overly obvious NBA, football is a bit more subtle in this regard, not as fake.
Modern football matches are essentially commercial matches, and it is not uncommon for match manipulation to occur.
This is something that is well known to high-ranking officials of national Football Associations, FIFA organizations, club executives, coaches, and even players.....
Perhaps only a portion of the fans are kept in the dark, naively believing that "football matches are fair."
Thinking of this, Fly glanced at Wenger on the sidelines, whose brows were furrowed. It was clear that Arsène Wenger was somewhat passive due to Szczęsny's sudden injury.
After glancing at the bench, since Fly had repeatedly told him that "Almunia is unreliable," Wenger ultimately chose to let Fabianski replace Szczęsny as the team's goalkeeper.
Seeing that Arsène Wenger didn't put on the unreliable Almunia, Fly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...
That's good, that's good. At least Fabianski is much better than Almunia, that big flop who concedes an average of one goal per game!
As long as it's not a regent, he is confident he can win this match!
Looking at Van Persie beside him, Fly quickly reminded him:
"Robin, don't get too carried away later. Be sure to listen to the referee's whistle."
Van Persie showed a puzzled expression upon hearing this, not understanding what this 'Crown Prince' was talking about.
Seeing his confusion, Fly didn't explain, but just waved his hand and said calmly:
"This match will definitely be very difficult. Don't lose your head, stay calm, and we will definitely win!"
Van Persie pouted, feeling that Fly was underestimating him too much...
Please, how many years have I, Van, been playing professional matches?
Do I still need you to remind me of such things?
Are you really treating me, Van Persie, like a child?
Out of respect for Fly's ability, Van Persie didn't talk back to Fly, but just muttered to himself.
In the 35th minute of the match.
Messi cut inside and curled another shot, but this time it hit the post, and Arsenal escaped again...
In the 38th minute of the match.
Sagna tripped Pedro while defending him and was shown a yellow card by the Main Referee.
Barcelona was awarded a free kick on the left flank.
Facing this tricky angle, Messi didn't force a shot, but instead lofted the ball into the penalty area.
Piqué won the aerial ball in the crowd and headed it towards the Arsenal goal.
"Bang————"
Unfortunately, the ball hit the top of the crossbar and flew out of bounds, resulting in an Arsenal goal kick.
In the 45th minute of the match.
When Van Persie was dispossessed by Abidal, he immediately counter-pressed, and ultimately Van Persie directly kicked Abidal's calf, causing the latter to fall to the ground.
"It's over..."
Seeing this scene, Fly couldn't help but murmur.
Because the yellow card he remembered had indeed appeared.
The Main Referee showed Van Persie a yellow card without any hesitation.
Remembering that Van had a real chance of being sent off with two yellow cards turning into a red card at the start of the second half, Fly could only act like a "madman" and say to Van Persie:
"Robin, don't be anxious.... You've already received a yellow card. If you get another yellow card in the second half, won't you be directly sent off with two yellow cards turning into a red card?"
"Big brother, Barcelona is catching up in the score. Please don't cause any trouble....."
Hearing Fly's words, Van Persie finally understood what he had just said to him.
So he was worried about him getting a card and being sent off....
Although Van Persie felt that Fly was being overly worried, after all, he was just a forward, not a defender, so it didn't matter if he had a yellow card.
But since Fly was concerned about him, Van Persie didn't show any displeasure and just nodded in agreement:
"Don't worry.... Fly, I understand."
Seeing Van Persie nod in agreement, Fly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know if Van Persie had really taken his advice to heart, but he had indeed done what he could.
Only God knows how the rest of the match will unfold....
