The strongest winger

Chapter 448 Penalty?

beep~~~
While Ai Luo fell to the ground and rolled, the referee on duty also blew his whistle.

Immediately, with boos from the stands like a tsunami, both players subconsciously ran towards the referee. The players of the home team Valencia wanted to put pressure on the referee, while the players of the visiting team wanted to protect Materazzi.

To be honest, the foul action just now was really ugly.

Although it was just a shovel on the side, it had the intention of hurting people.

But... For the benefit of their own people, Inter Milan players will certainly not foolishly admit that Materazzi's defensive action is a foul action.

The Brazilian Maicon was the first to bear the brunt and ran in front of the referee, then sat with his thumbs together and floated back and forth. He also used the Portuguese version of English in his mouth, and said loudly: "Diving, obvious diving!"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

The essential difference between Portuguese and Spanish is not that big. Maicon's words were like a thousand waves, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the home team players. David Villa roared angrily.

"Little man, I advise you to keep your mouth clean, or you will regret it!" Burdisso pushed David Villa away and said loudly.

"Hey, do you want to do it?" Baraja saw that Burdisso pushed David Villa with his hands, and rushed over very unhappy. First, he pushed Burdisso away with his chest, and then pushed Burdisso's forehead together, like two angry bulls.

beep beep beep --
The referee blew the whistle hastily again.

He first pushed Burdisso and Baraja away, and then dispersed his body across the gathered players from both sides. Then he glanced at Ai Luo, and made a gesture to the sidelines for the team doctor to come on the field.

The referee stood directly in the middle, and the players on both sides of the match naturally wanted to save face.

In addition, the players of the visiting team Inter Milan crowded towards the referee in order to let the referee forget the previous foul by Materazzi, so as to miss this ugly penalty. After the referee successively signaled them to disperse, they naturally had to disperse.

Otherwise, the card on the referee's chest is not for display.

***
"God, Marco Materazzi's action is so ugly, he just went for Ai's ankle, seeing him rolling so many times on the ground, but... it shouldn't be a big problem!"

According to Andy Gray's experience in explaining the game, Ai Luo, who rolled several times on the turf, didn't hold his ankle in pain, but just rubbed his feet, guessing a general idea.

However, Huang Jianxiang was very nervous. Ai Luo is currently a national treasure in Chinese football, so he couldn't be injured at this time, so he looked at the two sides who were about to clash, and the string in his heart seemed to be touched.

"Materazzi's move was really dirty. He fell to the ground and shoveled without a chance to touch the ball. It was completely aimed at people. Regardless of whether the referee's vision is good or not, he should be given a red card!"

Since the shots at the Mestalla Stadium were shown on the players of both sides in the skirmish, Huang Jianxiang did not know about Ai Luo's injury, so after speaking, he hurriedly left the commentary booth, walked to the big glass in the live studio, and looked into the field.

It was only when Ai Luo rubbed the top of his feet instead of his ankles that he breathed a sigh of relief.

……

After the referee separated the people who started the skirmish, the captain of the home team, Albelda, went to the referee again. He was the captain of the team and had to seek justice for his players. Materazzi's move just now was very ugly.

As the captain of Inter Milan, Zanetti naturally has to stand up for his teammates.

Seeing the referee walking towards Materazzi slowly, with an ugly expression on his face, and thinking about the danger of Materazzi's tackle when he returned to the defense, he couldn't control that much, and kept pleading with the referee.

After all, the referee just walked towards Materazzi with an ugly face, and did not show a red card, which means that Zanetti still has the opportunity to plead for Materazzi.

"Hey, it was just because the turf was slippery just now, Marco didn't mean it!"

Seeing the determination of the referee, Zanetti changed from saying Aiello's 'diving' at the beginning to Materazzi's unintentional. This is because he gave the referee an illusion that Materazzi may indeed be unable to stop the car while defending, thus knocking Ailuo to the ground.

After hearing Zanetti's statement, the referee obviously hesitated for a moment. When he walked towards Materazzi, he did not take out a red card from his trouser pocket, but took out a yellow card from his chest, and said to Materazzi fiercely: "In the next game, you must pay attention to your defensive actions. You are Marco with a criminal record. Next time, you will not be so lucky!"

Zanetti and Materazzi let out a long breath at the same time, as long as there is no red card, they can talk, otherwise this game really can't be played.

The Valencia players were naturally dissatisfied with the fact that the referee only showed Materazzi a yellow card and wanted to ask for an explanation, but at this moment, Baraja and David Villa, who were particularly impulsive, were directly hugged by Aiello, "I'm fine, there's no need to be so impulsive!"

"All right? Great!"

"that is!!"

Baraja and David Villa said in unison.

Afterwards, the referee did not forget to add a yellow card to Baraja and Maicon, who had previously been top players. Of course, Zanetti, who kept dissuading the referee, also received a yellow card.

But he didn't appeal. Being able to split a red card into two yellow cards would have been a victory.

In fact, it can only be said that Zanetti was thinking too much. The Champions League referee of this game borrowed the law enforcement standards of last season's Champions League final match between Arsenal and Barcelona.

The players on the field accepted the referee's fact, but the head coach Flores did not accept it. In his field of vision, Materazzi was completely aiming at people, and this was considered a semi-single-handed goal. How could it be a yellow card?

In the end, he failed to get the referee to change the sentence, and he got a yellow card instead.

***
In the ensuing game time, both sides kicked with anger, and their movements became bigger.

So the referee had to show three yellow cards one after another to make the game smoother.

It didn't take long, that is, at the 75th minute of the game, Flores made the first substitution adjustment on the field, replacing Baraja who had a yellow card with Marchena.

Because the position of the defensive midfielder is too important, it is impossible to let Baraja, who is carrying a yellow card hidden danger, continue the game on the field. If he cannot control his movements for a while, it is very likely that two yellows will turn into one red.

……

In the next game, Ai Luo played more carefully than before, because he found that Inter Milan's defensive players were more defensive than before, and they were also more concealed. From time to time, the referee's position was not good. The thighs or the jersey were pulled, which made it very difficult for him to dribble, and he also had to beware of malicious fouls.

Fortunately, the current score is that Valencia is leading, otherwise, I really don't know what to do.

After all, the Italian team has a smooth defensive blood in their bones.

***
Time passed quickly, and it was the last 10 minutes in the blink of an eye. Mancini also used the last substitution, replacing Cambiasso with Crespo to increase the strength of the frontcourt.

Indeed, Valencia's defense has been under increasing pressure during this period. Inter Milan's tough fouls in the midfield have greatly hindered Valencia's offense. Therefore, there are problems on the offensive end and more defenses.

Especially after Crespo came on the field, it was very helpful to Inter Milan's offense. With him in the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic's offensive ability can be released, because he is not a standing center.

In just 2 minutes, two fouls were caused by Albiol and Albelda respectively, and Albiol also received a yellow card, which laid a hidden danger for Valencia's next defense.

And when it comes to set kicks and corner kicks, Inter Milan's height advantage and high-altitude ability are even more obvious.

Several times, if Aiello hadn't returned to the penalty area to compete for the top, it is estimated that headers like Materazzi and Crespo would have scored the goals.

This change also made Flores realize that the team must increase the number of midfielders if they want to regain their disadvantage, so he replaced David Silva, whose physical strength has declined significantly, with Viana to enhance the defensive level in the middle.

Flores's substitution adjustments paid off quickly. After hoarding three defensive midfielders in the midfield, it was difficult for Inter Milan's passing to pose a threat. Whether it was in the center or on the wing, it would form a situation of playing more with less.

"The substitution adjustment of Flores was very timely. If it was 2 minutes at night, it is estimated that Inter Milan's offense will soon be effective. It is not impossible to score two goals and stage a great reversal."

Hyde is very satisfied with Flores' substitution, because if it continues like this, Valencia must be the one who advances to the quarter-finals!

But at this moment, an accident occurred.

Stankovic saw that the short pass could not pass through the midfield, so he simply made a long pass near the center circle to find Crespo in the penalty area, and then Ibrahimovic, Figo, and Recoba grabbed the second spot in the frontcourt, looking for opportunities.

Of course, it would be even better if he could score directly.

Crespo saw where the football was going and overwhelmed national teammate Ayala with a header. The football fell near the penalty spot. Albiol and Ibrahimovic started to grab the second point at the same time.

In the end, Ibrahimovic relied on the slight advantage of his body and legs, swiped the ball to the right before Albiol, waded into the penalty area, and then took advantage of the opportunity to swing his right foot.

Albiol subconsciously shoveled forward, but Ibrahimovic happened to make a false shot and dunked, and the football continued to flick to the right.

In this way, Albiol's toe unfortunately kicked Ibrahimovic's foot.

Then he lost his center of gravity and fell on the green grass.

beep~~~
Then the referee's whistle sounded.
