The seven-day holiday passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Yu had no choice but to rush back to the club to meet the match against the Central Coast Mariners below.

According to the schedule, this game was arranged in Gosford, Australia, the home of the Central Coast Mariners, and was originally intended to charter a flight, but it was later changed to fly to Australia for various reasons, and I don't know if it was an off-board move by the Central Coast Mariners, anyway, all the Steppe Wolves players who arrived in Australia were tired.

After leaving the airport, I found that the hotel arranged by the club did not provide services, and a group of people were busy and finally finished the mess.

Due to the second game of the group stage, the Nagoya Whales and the Central Coast Mariners played a 2:2 draw, which also made the Central Coast Mariners fall to the third place in the group, although the points are exactly the same as Seongnam Ichira, but there is one less goal difference, so the ranking is still low, this home game against the Steppe Wolves Club, if they can defeat the opponent, the Central Coast Mariners' points will surpass the Steppe Wolves and occupy the initiative in the group stage.

In fact, in terms of foot work, Australia's group of players is not much stronger than the Steppe Wolves, but mainly in terms of physical fitness, almost all Australian players are tall and mighty, and almost all of the Steppe Wolves players are lean and lean, and the only ones who can confront the Australian players head-on are Liu Yu and the two imported foreign aids.

On the night of coming to Australia, the Steppe Wolves originally planned to step on the competition venue and adapt in advance, but they were told by the staff that the venue was closed and they were not allowed to enter!

This made a few high-level executives of the steppe wolves who came with him, "We arranged it in advance, and your club also agreed, how can we go back on our word and not let us in!" ”

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the Steppe Wolves players hurriedly stopped these high-level players.

In the end, there was really no better way, the Steppe Wolves Club had to arrange for players to go to college training, everyone was transparent in their hearts, this is definitely an off-the-board move for the Central Coast Mariners, but no one has a good way, after all, it is not convenient to do anything in other people's territory.

After spending two days in such an inefficient training environment, it was finally time for the competition!!

As one of the top stadiums in Australia, the Blue Tongue Stadium can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators, and this AFC Champions League group stage almost decided the life and death of the Central Coast Mariners, so there were many fans who came to the scene to cheer for the home team, on the contrary, the Steppenwolf expeditionary force had less than 1,000 people.

When the referee of the game is Hamed from Iran, if the fans who often watch the game should not be unfamiliar with this referee, that is, his penalties in many games are unfavorable to the Chinese team, and even in a program interview, he publicly said that he doesn't like the Chinese team very much, so he and the steppe wolf are a little sullen in their hearts, and they don't know how the AFC did it, and they actually sent such a referee to enforce the game of the steppe wolf.

Due to problems with the net before the game, the game was postponed for more than half an hour, and the net was finally patched up, as a result, there was a problem with the turf, and the game had to be postponed for a while. The club staff took out a lot of towels from the dressing room and draped them over their players.

I finally got through this time, and the game finally officially began!!

It was the Steppenwolves who kicked off in the first half, but as soon as the game began, the Central Coast Mariners began to use the momentum of the home court to suppress the Steppenwolves.

In the opening two minutes, the Central Coast Mariners took the lead, Anderson took a free kick in front of the goal, and the ball bounced off the ground and hit the post. In the 4th minute, it was Anderson's through ball again, and Duck received the ball and shot high.

However, the steppenwolf was not intimidated by the momentum of the other party. In the 24th minute, the deadlock was broken by Huang Jun - the foreign aid of the Steppe Wolves passed the ball to the penalty area on the left side, and Huang Jun, who was inserted in the back, pushed the far corner with his left foot arch sideways, this ball Huang Jun showed not ordinary calm, and the ball went into the net, 1-0!

After the goal, the Steppe Wolves suddenly burst into momentum! 1 minute later, he got another chance to score, but unfortunately the ball was saved by the goalkeeper in the end - the Steppe Wolves broke through on the right side and crossed in front of the goal, Huang Jun followed up to face the empty goal from close range, but gently pushed the shot, the goalkeeper of the Central Coast Mariners reacted very quickly, moved quickly and blocked the ball with his legs!

Seeing that the steppe wolf was about to take the initiative, the referee made a move!!

In the twelfth minute, Anderson passed diagonally to the left side of the Steppe Wolves penalty area, Duck got the ball in front of him, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Shi Xiaotian, Duck fell to the ground after stepping on the ball, and the referee from Iran decisively pointed to the penalty spot!

Penalty kick!!

Anderson hit the ball to score his fourth goal of the AFC Champions League point.

However, the slow motion showed that the penalty was controversial, and Dark's fake fall was more obvious, and the Steppenwolf goalkeeper did not touch the opponent at all.

After understanding the situation, the Steppe Wolves players had great ups and downs, especially the former captain Huang Jun, seeing that his teammates were pitted, he hurriedly ran to the referee to make a fake fall, but the referee did not appreciate it, but showed Huang Jun a yellow card!

Affected by the referee's misjudgment, the rhythm of the steppe wolf was obviously disrupted!

In the 16th minute, Anderson cut inside and swept in front of the goal, the ball touched the Steppe Wolves player slightly folded the line, and Dark, who outflanked to the back post, missed the landing point slightly, and in less than a minute, the Central Coast Mariners penetrated the ball into the Steppe Wolves penalty area through smooth operation, and Anderson, who was flexible in his position, was blocked by the Steppe Wolves goalkeeper from a small angle.

Seeing that the game could not be opened for a long time, the referee made a second shot!!

In a rush of the Steppe Wolves, Huang Jun knocked down the opponent's midfielder McRees, and the referee decisively blew the whistle and took out a yellow card to Huang Jun again, two yellows and one red!

Huang Jun was sent off!!

In fact, as long as you are a regular kicker, you know that this kind of inconsequential physical confrontation will not even blow a foul at all, and even if it is blown, it is definitely not as serious as a yellow card!

Seeing that his player was sent off for no reason, how could the coach of the Steppe Wolves sit down, he rushed directly to the field with the team's assistant coach to find the referee, and complained to the Iranian referee, who knew that the referee was not finished, he stretched out his hand to the stands and sent the coach of the Steppe Wolves to the stands!!

Seeing that the referee was so cruel, Liu Yu couldn't help it!!
