Achievement King

Chapter 168 Conflict
Terry had already bent down to ask Costa to get up, but suddenly he was pushed on the waist.

He looked up and saw that it was Mario Suarez, and Terry was also a person who was unwilling to suffer. He was about to push back, but Matic hugged Terry tightly from behind.

Whispered in Terry's ear, "Be careful with your cards."

Terry didn't come forward.

Mario Suarez didn't dare to do more, if he went up again, maybe he would also get a card.

At this time, the referee arrived.

The referee did not hesitate to show a yellow card to Costa on the ground. When Costa saw the yellow card, he immediately said: "He did it first, and he pushed me again."

The referee first pointed at Terry and asked him to come out of the crowd.

Terry keenly saw that the referee was drawing cards from another pocket, and suddenly he had a bad feeling.

When the red card was drawn, Terry felt his head explode.

He wanted to justify something to the referee.

But the referee spoke first.

"You did it first, then you pushed Diego Costa down, so the red card was correct."

Terry froze there, but his teammates quit.

Matic said to the referee, "But what about them?" He pointed to Mario Suarez who came over.

The referee said: "He is a yellow card, he only played once." After speaking, he also showed a yellow card to Mario Suarez.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Costa got up and walked away, and the Atlético Madrid players also walked away.

This made the Chelsea players feel that this was designed by the opponent, and they were even more dissatisfied, explaining to the referee noisily.

"They did it on purpose"

"They were designed by Terry"

But the referee didn't listen to these things, pointed to the sidelines, and told Terry to go out.

Terry could only take off the captain's armband and hand it to Matic. He didn't know who it was, so he walked off the field in a daze.

Mourinho had to comfort Terry at this time, but he really hated the captain in front of him who had satisfied him.

What Mourinho thought was, "In such a bad situation, you still leave me one behind, what do you think?"

Terry walked off the field looking disappointed.

"Terry looked distraught but whose fault was that? Just his own."

"If he holds back, there will be no red card. The most important thing is that he is still the captain. This mistake is really low-level, and he also made this mistake in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 12, and it was In the second round, but now his red card just pushed Chelsea, which was already on the edge of the cliff, into the abyss."

"What Chelsea have to consider now is to make a quick substitution, and Mourinho has to make a quick decision."

Mourinho was indeed frowning on the sidelines, he was not going to make a substitution, he called Matic who was on the sidelines.

"You go back and play central defense, and then let Torres receive midfield."

Matic nodded after listening.

"But what about the defense in the middle?" He said this sentence silently in his heart, but he didn't say it.

He knows that it is very difficult now, and there are still 25 minutes before the end of the game. Mourinho still has 2 cards in his hand, and it is estimated that he will use them in other places.

"We saw what Mourinho said to Matic, but there was no central defender on the bench to warm up. Could it be that Mourinho is not going to replace the central defender?"

After waiting for a while, Simeone also discovered that Mourinho was going to let Matic play the central defender. He was indeed tall enough, but what about his defensive awareness?

Torres also retreated.

"It turned out to be like this, let Matic retreat to play the central defender, and Torres retreat to play the midfielder. In this case, for the time being, it is a 432 formation, with Hazard and William at the top. Such an effect, we need to continue look."

Simeone signaled the team to press on the sidelines.

Continue to press on Chelsea.

Chelsea had just been sent off at this time, and it was a time of panic, and it would take time for them to stabilize. If they attacked Chelsea at this time, it would easily cause the opponent to make mistakes.

So Costa, Villa and Wang Yu began to attack Chelsea's midfield.

And because there is one less player, it is difficult for Hazard and William in Chelsea's frontcourt to get the ball. After Torres returned to the midfield, he did not play a role in strengthening defense and passing the ball.

Such a situation is obviously very unfavorable to Chelsea, and the constant impact of the three players in the frontcourt of Atletico Madrid is also a severe test for Chelsea's defense.

Matic is very tall, but his defensive awareness is indeed different from that of a central defender. He is decisive and accurate. This position is very good in the midfielder. He can contain the attack in the midfield, but in the penalty area, he is decisive. It is not a good thing, you need to be more conservative and steady.

But all of a sudden, people are not machines, so how can they get rid of the habit of the previous position and get used to the new position quickly.

At this time, Matic was very embarrassed. He almost fouled several times. Finally, during a defense outside the penalty area, Matic moved too much and Villa fell to the ground. Matic was shown a yellow card and was also sentenced. A free kick, a free kick from the front of the penalty area, this opportunity is really good, Costa stood in front of the ball first.

When Mourinho on the sidelines saw the referee blowing the whistle, his heart almost jumped out. He was afraid that it would be another red card, but fortunately it was only a yellow card.

But then the referee gave a free kick, which made Mourinho very dissatisfied, and he chattered at the fourth official.

"Why did you give the opponent a free kick after giving us a yellow card? You shouldn't have given a free kick to the opponent after giving us a yellow card. The referee sent Terry a penalty before. Isn't it too cover-up for Atletico Madrid, don't you guys?"

Mourinho's words were interrupted by the fourth official in a hurry. He knew that Mourinho's mouth was so powerful. The good young referee retired directly. As for whether the truth of the matter is as Mourinho said, he doesn't care, as long as his goal is achieved.

The fourth official could only say: "If you are saying this, I will report to the referee, but if you are sent to the stands in the future, you will not be able to stay on the sidelines in the next game."

Mourinho was startled, and could only take back what he wanted to say.

On the field, Costa hugged the ball and stood in front of the penalty area without hesitation.

Wang Yu didn't intend to fight either. He knew he couldn't take a free kick, so he wouldn't force it, and Villa wouldn't even fight with Costa.
