Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 28

On the football field, the authority of the referee cannot be challenged or questioned, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Of course, it cannot be said that the referees are correct every time. After all, there are many scandals about law enforcers. For example, in 02, when South Korea advanced to the semi-finals, Spain and Italy suffered a lot in this regard.

Another example is the famous Stamford Bridge tragedy.

The role of the referee is to maintain a good order in the game. The referee who often steals the spotlight may not have good professional ability.

Of course, referees are human beings after all, and no one can guarantee absolute justice.

Strictly speaking, Silva's tackle is extremely dangerous, can he be given a red card?You can, of course you can, aiming at people.

Can I give a yellow card?Yes, dangerous actions, plus not long after the start of the race, it is reasonable to not be able to stop the car without any activity, and there are closing actions.

In Porto's home court, in the opening 3 minutes, a player from the home team is sent off in a situation that can be yellow or red. I am afraid that 90.00% of the referees will not choose a red card.

Fifty thousand fans have to scold you.

This is the home field advantage. Within the scope of reasonable compliance, the home team will still benefit somewhat. This is not uncommon in all parts of the world.

The referee called Silva to the front and repeatedly warned, "If there is another foul like this, you will be expelled from the game."

"I didn't mean it." Silva shrugged innocently, still defending himself.

The referee has long been familiar with this kind of flimsy excuse, and ignored Silva's stubble at all, and continued to speak. "I don't care if you did it on purpose or not. I have to think about the safety of every player on the field. You can do it yourself."

The game continues.

The tackle at the beginning established the confrontational intensity of the game. Although Silva got the price of the yellow card, this did not serve as a warning.

The referee blew his whistle frequently, and the rhythm of the game was cut to pieces.

This kind of situation is what Mano likes to see. The more intermittent the rhythm of the game, the better it is for the defensive side.

You can know a thing or two by looking at the anxious look of Porto coach Ola on the sidelines.

The so-called art of war, one vigorous effort and then decline and three exhaustion.

The opening attack is to build up morale and strength, and use the chicken blood before the game to mobilize the players to cheer up and cheer.

Looking down at the time, the first half had lasted for 10 minutes, and it was about to end. The score on the field was still 0-0. The Porto team could not accept this result at all. Without an away goal, it meant that if they wanted to advance directly in the next time, they had to score three goals. The less time, the greater the difficulty and the greater the pressure.

1 minutes of stoppage time in the first half.

The Porto players who fought for the entire first half were exhausted, and the passage of time made their mentality become anxious and anxious.

With the cheers of more than 5 Porto fans, he seized the tens of seconds left in the first half. The right winger went solo on the wing, passing two defensive players by himself, making a pass from the bottom, and Edu, who outflanked the center, struggled to get up.

As a result of the fight for the top, Benfica's central defender won and cleared the ball.

Coincidentally, it fell on Silva who was responding outside the penalty area. The latter stopped the ball, flicked towards the middle, and shot angrily.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Riise quickly made up for the middle position, blocking the route of his shot. The flying ball hit Riise's buttocks, and the broken line changed. Coincidentally, he tricked the goalkeeper of the Benfica team. Under everyone's gaze, he bounced into the goal.

1:0.

Porto took the lead. Although it was a bad luck, at least the result was good.

The Porto fans were boiling, as if they had won the victory, and the entire Dragon Stadium trembled under the cheers.

"Damn."

Reese cursed angrily.

"It doesn't matter, at least we were successful in the first half, and the opponent has no threat at all except for this bad ball." Gomez comforted his teammates.

Kick off the ball and the first half ends.

Intermission, locker room.

Mano is quite satisfied with the results of the first half. Except for conceding goals, the situation is developing in the direction he expected, and all the tactics arranged before the game have been realized.

As Gomez said, it was a ball of luck, and no one thought about it. I can only say that I was less lucky.

"Per, get ready, I'll let you play anytime."

Before walking out of the locker room, Wang Po was stopped by Mano.

"No problem, boss."

Wang Po said with a grin.

Under Mano, Wang Po, who came from a midfielder, was built as a versatile player, who can play in midfield, on the wing, and even ambush behind the center as a second striker.

Such multifaceted attributes are due to Wang Po's own talents and abilities.

Running ability, ability to read the game, excellent overall view, superb shooting skills.

Such an attribute can be called a frontcourt free man, and being placed in that position can cause headaches for opponents.

The current Wang Po is a small trump card in Mano's hand.

The second half of the game begins.

Although it was a tactical victory, the result has changed after all. It would be a lie to say that it doesn't affect it.

The mentality of the players on the field began to change. Some tried to attack, while others stuck to the head coach's tactics.

The inconsistency of thinking caused the layering of the defensive formation to become messy, and the distance between the three echelons was too long, which gave Porto a chance.

Silva dribbled the ball into the middle of the road, and his midfielder was already standing in the middle.

Seeing this, Silva distributed the ball to the right, and the latter accelerated to the bottom line with the ball, attracting the attention of a left wing back, a left back, and a midfielder ready to help defend at any time.

Looking up at Edu, who was surrounded by groups in the penalty area, Porto's right winger kicked a low and inverted triangle pass back to Silva's feet.

The attention of all defenders returned to the center again.

Silva did not stop the ball and passed a short pass to Edu in the penalty area.

Taking the ball with his back, Edu's broad shoulders covered the two central defenders at once. He passed the ball lightly to Silva, who was running forward. The exhausted Benfica midfielder had no sense of chasing and defending.

2:0.

Just 10 minutes into the second half, Silva scored twice to help Porto equalize the total score.

"do not"

Mano on the sidelines looked at his player's clumsy performance and shook his head madly.

The first goal was justifiable, but the second goal was a man-made disaster. It was completely caused by the defensive player's inattention. The ball, the position, the midfielder didn't look at the person and gave the opponent an easy two-hit chance. The amateur performance is unforgivable.
