Chapter 265: The Demon in Front of the Red Devil's Gate
In soccer matches, it is understandable that players on the field, especially the players of the home team, cooperate with the atmosphere created by the home fans to exert pressure on the referee, and then affect the scale and bias of his punishment.
Moreover, this method can often have a certain effect, which is the main reason for the formation of the so-called home whistle.
It's just that there are exceptions to everything in the world, and this is no different. Sometimes, the pressure side not only does not get the result in its favor, but it can also backfire and suffer from it.
In Li Lei's view, what Arsenal players and fans are doing now is the most typical example.
Most of the time, in order to keep the game running smoothly and not get out of control, the referee will give the home team a little bit of a penalty due to the pressure from the home team. But this is not without restrictions at all, and the pressure needs to be controlled, otherwise, it will become coercion and persecution if you are not careful.
And the status of referees in football games has always been sacrosanct, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the referee's punishment is the law on the football field, how can such a person have no temper on the field.
Once the level of pressure touches the bottom line in his heart, then things will immediately start to develop in a bad direction. Moreover, in Li Lei's opinion, the situation on the court is just like this.
Starting with Gary (Gary Neville), to James (O'Shea), and then to Wes (Brown), it adds up to about six minutes. Tut-tut, being besieged and pressured so many times by Vieira's idiots in 6 minutes, I don't believe this referee has such a good temperament, not annoying at all, not disgusted at all, tsk tsk. What a surprise!
At this moment, Li Lei, who was standing in front of the door with his waist crossed easily, quietly looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, with a cunning and smug smile on the corner of his mouth, had a great sense of pride in his heart, winning thousands of miles away, and everything was in my hands.
And the fact is indeed as he expected, the referee, who had always taken care of Arsenal in terms of penalties, finally frowned dissatisfiedly in the face of the Arsenal players who had firmly surrounded him again, what are I when I am these bastards?! A puppet under their command?!
With this emotion, it is natural that the referee cannot be expected to impose any severe punishment on Brown. As a result, not to mention a yellow card, there was not even a verbal warning, the referee just casually pointed in the direction of Manchester United's goal, indicating that it was a foul by Manchester United and a set-piece opportunity by Arsenal. Other than that, there is no other expression.
That's it?! What about the home whistle that was said to be good?!
For such a result, Arsenal fans and players will naturally not be satisfied and acceptable. Not to mention the shrill boos of the Arsenal fans, who suddenly rose again in decibels, the Arsenal players on the field once again surrounded the referee in a collective manner, and they could not accept such a trivial decision anyway.
How is this possible to set an example to those bastards Manchester United who are trying to bring down Jose (Reyes)?! What's the difference between that and encouraging them to continue to boldly violate José?!
With such resentment and agitation, it is inevitable that the angry Arsenal players will not be clean when they complain. Among them, Vieira, who had the most hot temper, was even more indifferent in the face of their complaints, and the expressionless referee on duty spat out a national curse starting with the word "F".
In this regard, the referee immediately frowned tightly, and did not say anything, just stared at Vieira with sharp eyes and continued to speak at him, and reached into the pocket of the card with his right hand, the meaning is obvious, shut up quickly, or I will show the cards.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Vieira had already had a yellow card on his body before, if he was given another yellow card at this time, I am afraid that it would greatly arouse the emotions of all Arsenal fans and players, and lay a great hidden danger for the next game.
Of course, if Vieira continues to scold so ignorantly, the referee will definitely play his cards without hesitation, so that the tall Frenchman can see the temper and ability of his British referee.
But to the disappointment of Li Lei and other Manchester United players, it is clear that there are no calm people in the Arsenal team. Seeing the referee's posture, Henry, who felt bad, immediately pulled Vieira away, and then approached the referee himself and said: "Sir, I apologize to you on behalf of Patrick, he didn't mean to disrespect you, he just fought against him." Such a brutal foul tactic against a young man who is only 21 years old is infuriating for the United people. ”
With the step given by Henry, the referee on duty took his hand out of his pocket and said solemnly to Henry: "Thierry, control the emotions of your teammates, it is my job to enforce the law, and I don't need you to dictate." As for your Spanish team-mates, I can't find any reason to give the United players a yellow card, they don't have a big scale of action. ”
As soon as the referee said this, Henry was immediately choked and speechless, and he couldn't find a reason to refute this sentence. Because, Gary Neville's movements are well controlled, and in addition to making Reyes feel a lot of pain, they do reach the point where they can be shown a yellow card, or even a red card.
However, although this is the truth, the truth is more than that.
At this time, Henry's state is the most typical mute eating yellow lotus, and he can't say anything about his suffering. Looking at the referee with a resolute and determined face, King Highbury, who was dominating on the court and making all the opponent's defenders fearful, received 10,000 critical damage points in his heart at this moment.
When Arsenal's pressure on the referee did not have the effect they expected, no matter how helpless, dissatisfied, angry and unwilling the Arsenal players on the field and the Arsenal fans in the stands were, in the rest of the first half, the tragic fate of Reyes, who had just grinned on the sidelines again and was helped up by the team doctor, tried to step on the right foot that was still in pain and still did not dare to exert his strength by Brown.
When the game restarted, Reyes was brought down by Manchester United's backline one after another for the rest of the first half, including injury time, at a frequency of nearly every two minutes to two and a half minutes, and fell to the ground and curled up in pain, the cameras on the scene finally found the culprit who directed it all - Li Lei.
At this time, he was standing in front of the door with his waist crossed, looking at the tragic image of Reyes, who had just been directly and fiercely knocked to the ground by Gary Neville in the high-altitude ball scramble, and fell to the ground and howled in pain again, and the corners of his mouth hung up with a smug and cruel terrifying sneer.
Looking at Li Lei like this, Lineker, who is a fan of the number one Li Lei, couldn't help but sigh: "There is no doubt that the Spanish youngster's behind-the-scenes planning of this series of 'tragic encounters' on the field during this period of time is the No. 13 goalkeeper in front of Manchester United-Lee!" I think it must have been a short time ago when he suddenly called the Manchester United defenders and discussed with them what they wanted and what they were going to do. ”
"I think no matter what Lee is in goal, all future United opponents will be wary of the number 13 goalkeeper."
"Because there is no doubt that any team in world football becomes an opponent of Manchester United, he will be a terrifying demon in front of the door of Manchester United against this team!"
"Ruthless!"
"Cruel!!"
"No compromise on !!"
