Chapter 340
In the end, Danny Wise was booked for the astringent foul, and Giggs was lucky to be fine, with just some hard injuries and a brief treatment from the team doctor, who returned to the field.
Overall, it was a positive result for United.
"Shh!!h
But it wasn't just Alex Ferguson and the United players on the pitch who were very unhappy with this, even the United fans continued to clamor in the stands, expressing their extreme displeasure with Winter's "blind" decision with their shrill boos.
"Sir, this is an obvious malicious injury, he wants to abolish my teammates, a yellow card is too light."
"That shit just wants to hurt people, why don't you give a red card?! Why?!! ”
"That shit bastard is the player who scrapped me! And what is that damn blind referee doing?! His job is to protect the players on my pitch and not let the opponent do nasty hurting fouls. Yellow?! What a shit penalty this is!! ”
......
But both referee Winter and the fourth official on the sidelines chose to turn a blind eye to the complaints of Keane, Ryan Giggs and Ferguson.
At the same time, Li Lei had already walked back to the door quietly, with a cold expression throughout the whole process, without any excited look on the faces of Kean and the others at this time.
It's not that he ignores Ryan Giggs and is indifferent to what happened to his teammates, but he already knows very well at the moment that according to the referee Winter's previous penalty scale, it is almost impossible to get justice for Giggs through the referee.
That Portuguese kid doesn't count, Ryan has one copy, I've got one copy, two copies, no, and one from these guys, three copies.
While calculating in his heart how much debt he had to collect from Danny Wise, he suddenly heard a drum noise from behind him, and Li Lei looked back, only to have a sudden face, knowing that he had counted less.
No matter how this debt is calculated, Millwall fans should have a copy. In view of the fact that Li Lei definitely can't do anything to them personally, this part will naturally be added to Danny Wise. Because this is his team, he has to take responsibility for these fans of their team.
Looking at these Millwall fans who were proudly clamoring because of the dissatisfaction, irritability and anger of Manchester United, Li Lei's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with only a terrifying chill.
After Li Lei calculated how much debt he had to recover from Danny Wise, the conflict on the field basically came to an end. Facing the iron face of referee Winter, Keane and others could not help no matter how dissatisfied they were, so they could only hold back the fire in their stomachs and prepare for the restart of the game.
Perhaps Winter's decision to give Danny Wise a yellow card this time was to balance the gap between the two sides as much as possible, so that the suspense of the FA Cup final, which was already so disparity, would be a good thing for those sponsors and broadcasters, but from a competitive point of view, it was not so rosy.
I don't know if he noticed that as the referee, he was gradually losing control of the emotions of the players on both sides. The Millwall players were emboldened by what they thought was his partiality, while Manchester United were unable to control their growing anger.
Just two minutes after the restart, Keane made this clear with a vicious and unrelenting tackle. Millwall's midfielder Sweeney was knocked to the ground as soon as he received a pass from a teammate with his back to him, and while he hugged his leg and howled in pain, Keane, who got up, didn't look at him at all, just turned around and walked back.
The coldness on his face as if nothing had happened made the Millwall players, who had always been known for their roughness, tremble a little when they saw it.
"Roy, control your movements. Otherwise, don't blame me for playing the cards. ”
Looking at Keane, who was indifferent to his warning, referee Winter couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart, after all, he was tired of the penalty he had just made to Danny Wise, and he knew it himself.
In view of this, he also knew that if he showed Keane a yellow card at this time, it would definitely be inappropriate and would make the emotions of the Manchester United players even hotter, so this time, he only gave Keane a verbal warning in the complaint of the Millwall players, and did not have any intention of playing the card.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that it was his decision to make the game get out of control and fall into an irreparable situation, becoming the object of dissatisfaction between the Millwall players and the Manchester United players, and becoming a different person inside and out.
As a result, his authority as a referee began to decline indefinitely. And what followed was naturally that the players on both sides on the field ignored Winter's existence, and their respective movements began to increase and become ferocious.
For a moment, the smell of gunpowder on the field suddenly became strong. And the starting point of all this is Keane's foul by Sweeney this time.
In the 56th minute of the second half, when Manchester United attacked a corner kick, Danny Wise, who returned to the penalty area, dragged Scholes directly to the ground without relenting, making the two players who were already emotionally charged with gunpowder smell again, and almost caused a conflict again.
Danny Wise was given another verbal warning from Winter, but the former England number one tough guy apparently didn't care.
In the 59th minute of the second half, Fletcher elbowed Millwall's right midfielder Iveel when he was fighting for a high ball from Millwall goalkeeper Marshall near midfield, causing him to fall to the ground and howl. For this, Fletcher received a yellow card from Winter, who finally realized that something was wrong.
Since then, Winter has begun to tighten his enforcement standards, and the whistle on the field suddenly starts to become more frequent, but it is too late.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, there was finally the first red incident on the field.
Cristiano Ronaldo's corner kick allowed Silvestre, who was ambushed at the far post, to seize a chance to head the goal. Millwall goalkeeper Marshall was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the French centre-back, and before he could make a save, the ball went over his head.
Thankfully, the diminutive Danny Wise made a timely comeback and fired a thrilling header out of the ball on the goalline to complete the clearance. But the crisis didn't go away, and the football in the box caused chaos in the Millwall penalty area.
It was in this situation that Millwall's left wing-back Ryan kicked Brown directly to the head when he cleared the ball with a big foot, causing the England centre-back to collapse as if he had been hit by a bullet. In the gap between his head and hands, there were already dazzling blood stains.
"Shh!!h
For a moment, the entire Millennium Stadium instantly became chaotic again, and piercing boos filled every corner.
The smell of gunpowder in the air was so strong and pungent that it was pungent!
