Chapter 208: Accident
Referee De Bricle had a yellow card in his hand, and it was Liverpool's Dutch player Babel who showed him the yellow card.
Just now, Inter Milan took a free kick, Hyypia won when he was scrambling for a high ball, and then, Carragher passed the football to Xavi Alonso, who launched an attack with a direct long pass, Babel ran quickly to chase the ball, Samuel's excellent prediction, appeared in the football landing point in advance, Babel chose to slide in the case of impossible to get the football, and directly cut Samuel down with the ball.
At this time, Inter Milan's team doctor had already entered the field and was treating Samuel.
And the reason for Leon's foul language was that he saw the gesture made by the team doctor, which was a gesture to ask for a substitution, and Samuel was injured and could not continue to continue the game......
Leon's face was ugly, Samuel's injury was an accident, and the substitution adjustment so early disrupted his tactical deployment.
Leon's eyes swept around the bench, and now there are two defenders on the bench, one is the thirty-four-year-old veteran Marco Materazzi, and the other is the twenty-year-old young defender Bonucci, Bonucci replaced Burdisso, who missed the game due to a cold, appeared in the squad for the game, Materazzi or Bonucci, Leon finally chose to let the experienced veteran Materazzi get up to warm up.
In the 26th minute of the game, Inter Milan were forced to make substitutions, and Materazzi came on as a substitute to replace Samuel, who was injured and could not continue the game.
***********
"How's it going?" asked the team doctor, Samuel, about his injury.
"Muscle strain, maybe not much of a problem. The team doctor said.
Leon nodded, patted Samuel on the shoulder, and asked the Argentine to take a seat on the bench.
'Inter Milan were forced to make substitutions, Materazzi came on, and maybe the 34-year-old could be called our breakthrough. Liverpool's commentator said.
At that moment, Liverpool launched an attack from the wing, and Materazzi forced a hard way past Kuyt in the box and pushed the ball out of the box.
"Materazzi may be old, but as long as he is on the field, he will give his all, which is probably why Leon still trusts the veteran!" said Ferrari, the Italian commentator.
He was right, Materazzi's experience, especially his bloodiness and fighting spirit, was something that Leon greatly admired, which is indeed why the 34-year-old veteran was able to get a chance to play in such an important match!
***********
Leon sat back in the dugout, and in the seven or eight minutes after Materazzi came on the pitch, he completed a header clearance and a head-on interception, which put him at ease, and the veteran was in good shape.
However, just three minutes later, there was a major change on the field.
In the 36th minute of the game, Liverpool instigated an attack, Torres received a high ball on the right rib, quickly turned and rushed forward, trying to shake off Materazzi, Materazzi is very experienced, he stuck up from behind, and the two were entangled.
Materazzi knew he couldn't get Torres up speed, and he pressed his high arm against Torres' neck while reaching out to pull at the collar of Torres' shirt, while Torres' hand was not honest and pulled Materazzi's shorts.
Feeling that his pants were about to be ripped off, Materazzi was furious and flicked his elbow hard, which was a clear foul, and Torres immediately fell to the ground.
Referee De Bricle's whistle blew and he blew for a foul on Materazzi and showed him a yellow card.
Leon was unhappy on the sidelines, Materazzi did foul, but there was action on both sides, and Torres was not a great opportunity, in Leon's opinion, it was enough to blow a foul, and the yellow card was a bit too much.
On the pitch, Materazzi was also expressing his displeasure, pulling his pants and shouting angrily at the referee, complaining to the referee that his pants were pulled by Torres, and the Liverpool striker's hands also moved.
De Briclet looked serious and put the fingers of his right hand to his lips, meaning to shut up Materazzi.
Materazzi looked like he was holding back his anger, and then the Italian defender lowered his head and seemed to stop there, but he didn't really stop and muttered something in Italian.
***********
Leon stood on the sidelines, staring at the field, he watched this scene, suddenly, Leang's pupils constricted, and he saw the referee's hand in his pocket, "Marko!" Leang's heart tightened, and he immediately shouted into the field.
However, it was too late, and the referee acted quickly, he took out a yellow card from his pocket, flashed it at Materazzi, and then quickly pulled out a red card!
Materazzi's protest was rewarded with another yellow card, which resulted in a total of two yellow cards being sent off.
"Oh oh oh yes Materazzi oh Materazzi foul Materazzi and he was shown a second yellow card to Materazzi and he was sent off for a second yellow card, two yellows and one red, Materazzi was sent off!"
"It's too dramatic! Liverpool's attack may not be too threatening, Torres was violated by Materazzi, Materazzi received a yellow card, and then received a yellow card for protest! Materazzi replaced Samuel who left the pitch injured, and was sent off after just eight minutes on the pitch, which is a huge blow for Inter Milan!"
"Materazzi was sent off! This is the punishment he deserves, his foul blocked a Liverpool attack, a yellow card is a must! However, his chattering protests finally led to a greater punishment! There is no problem with the referee's decision, Materazzi's red card is to blame!" Liverpool's commentator shouted excitedly, "In the 37th minute of the game, the Inter Milan defender was sent off, and we now have one more person to fight!"
"What is the referee doing? His penalty is too harsh!" Ferrari, the Italian commentator, stood up angrily and shouted, "Materazzi and Torres are pulling each other, maybe Materazzi moved a little bigger, and the referee showed Materazzi a yellow card, but I would rather understand that this is the referee's response to Materazzi, if the same action appeared on Xavi Alonso, the referee may not play the card at all! As for the second yellow card that followed, it was even more excessive!"
"This is a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster!" his commentator Rossi was furious, "If according to the referee's law enforcement scale, Babbel should definitely deserve a direct red card for his malicious and hurtful actions before!"
***********
"Inter Milan have suffered a major blow, and I'm most worried about Lee anyway, he's a grumpy!" Ferrari said suddenly.
His words immediately caused a burst of nervousness among the Inter Milan fans in front of the TV, Ferrari was right, Li Ang was a violent temper, the referee's decision was very excessive, with Li Ang's violent temper, he still didn't explode?! If Li Ang exploded, there would be only one final result, that is, he was also expelled from the game by the referee.
The director also seemed to understand the concerns of the fans and viewers, and the camera showed the coach's bench on the sidelines.
In the away team's dugout, Leon stood on the sidelines, his hands in his trouser pockets, his trench coat moving slightly in the night breeze of Anfield, his face seemed to be quite calm, there was no joy or anger, calm as a pool of deep water......
