Capítulo 837: The Crucial Goal

Once the second half started, things played out as Twain had predicted during the halftime interval. Arsenal tried a push from Pepe's position, wanting to see if Pepe had regained his focus. 

The players of Arsenal weren't the only ones who had noticed the blip in Pepe's performance. It was also an issue that the live television commentator was concerned about.

"Tony Twain did not replace Pepe on the field. Pepe, who clashed with Akinfeev in the first half, is still in play. And it looks like his anger hasn't dissipated. I really don't understand... Why has Tony Twain, who has always been known for his strict discipline, not responded to such a serious conflict? And if they managed to settle the dispute during the halftime interval, then why does Pepe still look so angry? He never communicates with the goalkeeper. As for Akinfeev... When he directs the game, he calls the names of Bale, Rafinha, and Woodgate, but he doesn't even look at Pepe. That's not a good sign."
