The strongest winger

Chapter 439 Full Attack
As the camera cuts, all fans watching the live TV broadcast can see a shocking scene, because Ai Luo, who roared loudly at the referee, covered his left cheek with his left hand, and blood was already overflowing from the gap between his fingers.

The Valencia players originally thought that Materazzi had fouled when defending Aiello, but at that time, except for a few players who appealed to the referee, the other players were in the defensive position and did not notice that Materazzi's foul would be so bad.

But this also inevitably made the defensive players less focused on defense, so Ibrahimovic scored the ball and overtook the score to 2:1 in one fell swoop.
Originally, most players were prepared to admit that they were unlucky.

What I didn't expect was that Ai Luo would cover his left face, and he could still see the blood spilling from his fingertips. This situation became different, because he saw blood...

This is enough to show that Inter Milan's previous defensive action must be an extremely dangerous action.

"Sir, are you blind?"

"Keep your eyes open and look at our players who took the ball back just now!!"

"Look at what is the red liquid of our team members??"

……

Valencia's players swarmed around the referee, as if they wouldn't leave without giving an explanation.

Even the head coach Flores, who was standing on the sidelines, was full of indignation, excitedly shouting at the fourth official, "Did you see that? Our player was blocked by a bad foul just now, and now he let that damned Inter Milan score. What is this?"

As the beneficiary, the Inter Milan players naturally cannot watch the players of the visiting team Valencia put pressure on the referee. If the referee really cannot withstand the pressure, it would be bad if there is a chaotic whistle and the goal is invalidated.

Therefore, physical contact between the two parties was unavoidable.

Now, the roles have changed again.

As the on-duty referee, it is natural that the players on both sides of the game cannot continue to make physical contact. Originally, his misjudgment had already caused Valencia to lose the ball.

Therefore, Burdisso and Baraja, who had the most intense physical contact, were pushed away, and then they each received a yellow card. Then they turned around and gave a yellow card to Aiello, who was being treated by team doctor Hernandez. He believed that all the conflicts were caused by Ailuo's sudden joining.

The scene that was already under control became chaotic again because of the referee's penalty.

Fortunately, the goalkeepers Canizares and Ayala responded quickly and hugged Baraja and David Silva away respectively. It is estimated that the referee will draw a card to warn again later.

On the contrary, Ai Luo, who was being treated, became quiet, and just glanced at the judge in black, as if he wanted to express: just sit and watch you pretending to be aggressive.

……

A conceded goal, plus the cost of two yellow cards.

Under the appeasement of Canizares, Albelda and others, the Valencia players did not continue to make trouble.

Otherwise, when the referee's anger level is full, he might be given two red cards every minute.

At that time, not to mention the score behind, and one or two people were sent off, then this game really can't be played.

***
During the time when Aiello was receiving treatment, the director of the Meazza Stadium also recollected the previous whole process in slow motion, and used different angles to analyze Materazzi's defense of Ailuo.

As a result, any slow-motion playback from any angle showed that Materazzi hit Aiello's brow bone with his elbow. In the last slow-motion playback, the stadium director also used technical means to switch to the referee's visual angle.

It can also be regarded as avenging the injustice of the referee on duty. After all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he couldn't blow the whistle when he saw someone fall to the ground, right?

But this scene did not affect the commentator who had opinions on the referee. After watching all the slow-motion replays, Huang Jianxiang was still very angry. It can be easily analyzed from his voice, "Regardless of the position of the referee on duty, this is his own problem, and Materazzi did have an elbow. It’s fine if he didn’t show the card to the fouled Materazzi. Instead, he showed the victim Ai Luo a yellow card. What’s the reason? Please forgive my ignorance of football rules. understand..."

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV, also said in a daze, "The referee's penalties are really open to question. Valencia's quick counterattack was blocked by Materazzi's bad foul and turned a blind eye. Is this really a Champions League referee?"

The commentators of the French national sports channel were also angry, because this scene was still fresh in their memory. In the World Cup in Germany last year, the Italian used despicable means to cause Zidane to be sent off. This time, he used a bad foul to help the team complete the defense and indirectly plan the attack.

"I really don't know why this kind of player is still on the court? He is a butcher! The same is true for the referee. According to the slow-motion replay, his position is not bad. Even if he can't directly see Materazzi's movements, he can judge from his own experience that Materazzi should have a forceful movement from front to back. Otherwise, how could Ai fall backward from this angle?"

Although the commentators on the commentary booth complained for Valencia, the authority of the referee is also inviolable, and the goal was awarded as a valid goal.

……

"Ai, how much is this?" After cleaning up the blood and bandaging Ai Luo, the team doctor Hernandez stretched out two fingers and did a simple eye reaction test.

"Uncle Hernandez, stop teasing me..." Ai Luo rolled his eyes and pouted, "This is 2!"

Hernandez smiled and held up three more fingers.

"three!"

"What is 1+1+2?" Immediately after, Hernandez gave Ai Luo another simple brain test.

"Uncle, you are insulting my IQ!" Ai Luo spread his hands and complained, "4!"

Hernandez laughed again, nodded to coach Flores, and then said to Ai Luo, "The wound has been bandaged, but you have to pay attention to the wound just now, otherwise it will be easy to tear again, you know?"

"Well, okay!" Ai Luo nodded while saying that he took off the blood-stained jersey and replaced it with the clean jersey handed over by the assistant coach.

***
By the time the kick-off was re-started, it was already 43 minutes into the first half, and it was 44 minutes until Aiello got the referee's permission to re-enter.

But then the fourth official on the sidelines raised the electronic card for 4 minutes of stoppage time, which is more appropriate.

However, in the 4 minutes of stoppage time, Valencia, who was eager to attack, did not get a decent chance, because Inter Milan had all retreated to their own half to defend, leaving only one Zlatan Ibrahimovic cruising around the center circle. It seemed that they were going to hold on to the score until the end of the first half.

Although Ai Luo performed quite well after re-entering the field, he was not able to get a chance in the 30-meter area of ​​​​Inter Milan, which was full of people everywhere, and their defenders also paid great attention to the location of the foul and did not give Ai Luo a free kick.

In this way, as soon as the 4-minute stoppage time came, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

……

During the intermission, Mancini first praised Ibrahimovic's ability to seize opportunities, and then pulled Materazzi and told him, "Marco, your actions in the first half should be remembered by the referee, so you should pay attention to your actions in the second half, you know?"

Although Materazzi would short-circuit his head at certain times, he was very clear at the moment, so he paid close attention to Mancini's instructions and nodded.

***
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and the two sides changed sides to fight again. Inter Milan's style of play has made a lot of changes, and the formation has been delayed.

As a result, Valencia's defense overwhelmed halftime and began to overwhelm Inter Milan.

In the initial period, Valencia could only use passing to frequently mobilize the running of Inter Milan's defenders, but could not actually threaten their goal.

And the same strategy was adopted in defending Aiello and David Silva on both sides-it can allow you to break through the bottom line and pass, but you must not cut inside!

Therefore, in the first 10 minutes of the second half, although Valencia, who played away, looked very aggressive, they had no practical gains, which belonged to thunder and rain.

In the 56th minute, that is, the 11th minute after the start of the second half, Aiello suddenly switched positions with David Villa, and he played as a striker. This change made Zanetti hesitate.

The switch between Aiello and David Villa gave David Villa, who was pulled to the left, a chance to compete directly with Maicon, and Valencia had more chances.

Coupled with the header advantage of Aiello and Ballack, Inter Milan's defense has become jittery.

But at this time, Materazzi stepped forward and cleared the ball over the heads of Aiello and Ballack one after another.

And Materazzi's wonderful performance also won the home jerseys in the stands a burst of cheers.

With the passage of time, Inter Milan's defensive players have also become familiar with Valencia's new offensive routines, and they have become more comfortable in defense.

At the same time, because Inter Milan invested too much in the defense, Ibrahimovic, who took the ball, became helpless when he made a quick counterattack, because he was not the type of Aiello who could break through tens of meters with the ball.

Therefore, the two sides of the game have returned to a relatively balanced state.

When the game progressed to 10 minutes, Flores began to make substitution adjustments, replacing the exhausted David Silva with Vicente, and continued to strengthen the offense.

But this substitution did not actually help Valencia, and it was no different from the situation before the substitution.

The time also quickly reached the last 10 minutes of the game.

This also made Mancini more determined to defend the strategy to the end. After all, the team still leads by one goal. In the next round, a draw at the Mestalla Stadium can still be promoted. There is no need to choose to take risks to expand the score.

So Valencia can only choose to attack with all its strength...
