Chapter 449: Penalty?
Beep~~~
At the same time as Iroh fell to the ground and rolled, the referee on duty also blew the whistle.
Suddenly, accompanied by a tsunami of boos from the stands, the players of both sides subconsciously ran to the referee, the players of the home team Valencia wanted to put pressure on the referee, and the players of the away team were to protect Materazzi.
To be honest, that foul just now was really ugly.
Although it is only a side shovel, it has the intention of hurting people.
But... For the sake of their own people, the Inter players certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to admit that Materazzi's defensive move was a foul move.
The Brazilian McCone bore the brunt of the run in front of the referee, and then sat with his thumbs together and floated back and forth, and said loudly in the Portuguese version of English: "Fake fall, obvious fake fall!" ”
"Fuck your shit!"
There is not much difference between Portuguese and Spanish, and McConn's words are like a thousand waves, which immediately caused the displeasure of the home team's players, David Villa yelled angrily.
"Little man, I advise you to keep your mouth clean, or you will regret it!" Burdisso stepped forward and pushed David Villa away and said loudly.
"Eh, you want to do it, don't you?" When Baraja saw that Burdisso had pushed David Villa, he rushed over very unpleasantly, first pushing Burdisso open with his chest, and then on Burdisso's forehead, like two angry bulls.
Beep beep beep -
The referee blew his whistle again in a hurry.
He first pushed Burdisso and Baraha, who were on top of the bull, out of the way, and then dispersed his body across the two players gathered in a pile, then looked at Iroh and made a gesture to the sidelines to go on the field.
The referee stood directly in the middle, and the players on both sides of the game naturally wanted to save face.
In addition, the players of the away team Inter Milan squeezed towards the referee in order to make the referee forget about Materazzi's previous foul, so as to miss this ugly decision.
Otherwise, the card on the referee's chest is not for decoration.
***
"Oh my God, Marco Materazzi's move is so ugly, it's just going to Ai's ankle, watching him roll so many laps on the ground, but ...... It shouldn't be a big problem! ”
Andy Gray used his experience in commenting on the game, and Iro, who had rolled on the turf several times, did not hold his ankles in pain, but just rubbed the surface of his feet and guessed a rough idea.
However, Huang Jianxiang was very nervous, Ai Luo is currently a national treasure in Chinese football, and he can't be injured at this time, so he looked at the two sides that were about to clash, and the string in his heart seemed to be touched.
"Materazzi's action is really dirty, he fell to the ground and tackled without having a chance to touch the ball, it was completely aimed at people, regardless of the referee's vision or not, he should be given a red card!"
Because the footage of the Mestalla Stadium was given to the players on both sides of the game that had a skirmish, Huang Jianxiang didn't know about Aillo's injury, so he hurriedly left the commentary seat after finishing speaking, walked to the big glass in the live studio, and looked into the field.
When he watched Iroh rub the surface of his feet instead of his ankles, he breathed a sigh of relief.
……
After the referee pulled away the personnel who had a skirmish between the two sides, the captain of the home team, Albelda, walked to the referee again, he is the captain of the team, and he must seek justice for his players, Materazzi's action just now was very ugly.
As the captain of Inter Milan, Zanetti naturally has to stand up for his teammates.
Watching the referee slowly walk towards Materazzi, and his face was quite ugly, and then thinking of the danger of Materazzi's tackle when returning to defense, he couldn't care so much, and kept pleading with the referee.
After all, the referee just walked towards Materazzi with an ugly face and did not show a red card, which means that Zanetti still has a chance to plead for Matt.
"Hey, it was just because the turf was slippery, and Marco didn't mean to!"
Zanetti saw the referee's resoluteness, and changed the line from saying Iello's 'diving' at the beginning to Materazzi's unintentional now, which is that he created an illusion for the referee, thinking that Materazzi may indeed be unable to stop the car when defending, thus shoveling Atlas to the ground.
After hearing Zanetti's statement, the referee obviously hesitated, and when he walked towards Materazzi, he did not take out a red card from his trouser pocket, but took out a yellow card on his chest and showed it, and then said viciously to Materazzi: "You must pay attention to your defensive actions in the next game, you are Marco with a criminal record, and you will not be so lucky next time!" ”
Zanetti and Materazzi exhaled a long breath at the same time, as long as there is no red card, it is easy to talk, otherwise this game is really unplayable.
For the referee only showing Materazzi a yellow card, Valencia's players were naturally very dissatisfied and wanted to come forward to ask for an explanation, but at this moment, the particularly impulsive Baraja and David Villa were directly hugged by Aillo, "I'm fine, there's no need to be so impulsive!" ”
"Nothing? That's nice! ”
"That's it!!"
Baraha and David Villa said in unison.
Subsequently, the referee did not forget to make up a yellow card for Baraha and McConn, who had previously topped the bull, and of course, Zanetti, who kept dissuading the referee, also received a yellow card.
But he didn't complain and was able to split one red card into two yellows, which would have been a victory.
In fact, it can only be said that Zanetti is thinking too much, the Champions League referee of this game is drawing on the law enforcement scale of last season's Champions League final Arsenal and Barcelona games, in order to continue the game full of suspense, can only choose to give a yellow card, and Zanetti's yellow card is just a step for the referee to give himself.
The players on the field accepted the fact of the referee, but the head coach Flores did not accept it, in his vision, Materazzi was completely aimed at people, and this is also a half-single goal, how can it be a yellow card?
In the end, he failed to get the referee to change the decision, and instead received a yellow card.
***
In the ensuing game time, both sides played with fire and the action became bigger.
So the referee had to show three yellow cards in a row to make the game smooth.
Not long after, in the 75th minute, Flores made his first substitution on the pitch, replacing Baraja, who had a yellow card, with Marchena.
Because the position of the back is too important, it is impossible to let Baraha, who has a hidden danger of yellow cards, continue to play on the field, and if he can't control his actions for a while, it will be very likely that two yellows will turn into one red.
……
In the next game, Iroh played more carefully than before, because he found that the defensive actions of Inter Milan's defenders were bigger than before, and they were also more hidden, from time to time in the referee's bad position on the thighs or pull the jersey, so that he was very uncomfortable with the ball, and he had to beware of malicious fouls.
But fortunately, the current score is Valencia ahead, otherwise, I really don't know what to do.
After all, the Italian team has smooth defensive blood in their bones.
***
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the last ten minutes came, and Mancini also used the last substitution, replacing Cambiasso with Crespo to increase the strength of the front.
It is true that Valencia's defense has been under increasing pressure during this time, and the tough fouls in Inter Milan's midfield have greatly hindered Valencia's attack, so there are problems in the offensive end, and the defense has become more numerous.
Especially after Crespo came on the field, it helped Inter Milan's attack very much, with his presence in the front, you can release Ibrahimovic's offensive ability, because he is not a stumping center, with Crespo standing in the center position, he can expand his range of activities, and the threat to Valencia's defense is greater.
In just two minutes, two fouls were committed by Albiol and Albelda, including Albiol receiving a yellow card, which laid a hidden danger for Valencia's subsequent defense.
And when it comes to set-pieces and corners, Inter Milan's height advantage and high-altitude ability are even more obvious.
If it weren't for Iro's return to the penalty area to fight for the top several times, it is estimated that he would have been broken by headers like Materazzi and Crespo.
This change also made Flores realise that the team had to increase the number of players in the midfield if they wanted to recover the disadvantage, so he replaced David Silva, who had dropped significantly, with Viana to strengthen the defensive level in the middle.
Flores' substitution paid off quickly, as Inter's passing struggled to become a threat after the midfield stockpiled three defensive midfielders, creating a situation of playing more with less, both in the middle and on the wings.
"Flores' substitution is very timely, if it is two minutes in the evening, it is estimated that Inter Milan's attack will soon be effective, and it is not impossible to score two goals in a row to stage a big comeback."
Hyde was very happy with Flores' substitution, because if it continues like this, it must be Valencia who advances to the quarterfinals!
But just then, the unexpected happened.
Stankovic saw that the short pass could not cross the midfield, so he simply went directly to Crespo in the penalty area with a long pass near the center circle, and then Ibrahimovic, Figo, and Recoba grabbed the second drop point in the front court, looking for opportunities.
Of course, it would have been nice to have scored straight away.
Crespo spotted the spot, squeezed a header from his team-mate Ayala and the ball fell near the penalty spot, with Albiol and Ibrahimovic starting to grab the second point at the same time.
In the end, Ibrahimovic relied on his slight advantage in his strong legs to flick the ball to the right before Albiol, into the box, and then picked up his right foot.
Albiol subconsciously shoved forward, but Ibrahimovic happened to fake a real shot, and the ball continued to move to the right.
In this way, Albiol's toe kicked on the top of Ibrahimovic's foot very unfortunately.
Then he lost his center of gravity and fell on the green turf.
Beep~~~
The referee's whistle sounded.
