Chapter 570 Balance

For the anger of the Crystal Palace players, Walton, the referee on duty, was completely understandable for the encirclement and interception of the Crystal Palace players, Walton first made a gesture of pressing down with both hands, signaling everyone to calm down. Then, after pointing to Li Yi again, knowing that he might still be awarded a red card, Gary Neville lying on the ground and pretending to be injured, Walton's meaning is no longer obvious - it's not that he doesn't give Gary Neville a card, it's just that now Gary Neville is also injured, and he needs to wait for the other party to get up.

Well, it turned out that the referee didn't play a card just because the opponent didn't get up, and since that was the case, most of the Crystal Palace players put out the fire.

However, it is only the majority, for example, Bell, who usually has the strongest relationship with Li Yi in the team and can be called an iron buddy, because he didn't expect Li Yi to do it intentionally this time, and now he is just pretending to be dead on the ground, thinking that Li Yi was really injured by the other party's black foot, and Bell, who was furious, lost his mind a little at this time.

In his opinion, Gary Neville's foul must be, immediately, immediately received a red card. Then, as long as anyone with eyes has seen Gary Neville's flying shovel of Li Yi before, they must know that Gary Neville, as the perpetrator, could not have been injured himself, and what he is doing now is just to delay time for his previous crimes.

I couldn't stand the other party being a# and set up the archway Bell, and immediately after listening to Walton's explanation, he made some very irrational moves on the shelf.

An arrow rushed to Gary Neville's side who was pretending to be dead, and determined that the other party was pretending to be Bell, and couldn't help but say, he lifted Gary Neville's hands that covered his cheeks, exposing the other party to the air with a rather calm face that was obviously not in any pain, and he felt that it was not enough, and he tried to pull the former up from the ground with both hands, and immediately accepted Walton's red card verdict.

Well, if the Manchester United players were also guilty of Gary Neville's flying tackle before, even if they knew that Gary Neville was going to eat a red card, even if they saw the Crystal Palace players constantly pressuring the referee, they were indifferent, at this time, Bale's actions were regarded as a hornet's nest.

After all, no matter what Gary Neville does on the field, he is their teammate, and Li Yi no matter how important he is in the national team, but after all, it is a national team, not a club, so even if they are dissatisfied with Gary Neville's previous flying tackle, they also think that the former should not be, but it does not mean that in their turf, Gary Neville is bullied, and they will ignore it.

Soon, a Manchester United player, led by captain Vidic, hit the scene of Gary Neville's fall. And several Manchester United players led by the fighter Patrice Evra pushed Bale to the ground, regardless of whether Gary Neville pretended to be or not, he did not let Bale continue to harm the former, and then continued to push and shove with several Crystal Palace players who came to help Bale out.

Things have developed so far that they are gradually developing in the direction of irreversibility and loss of control. Now, Walton knows very well that if he really puts the penalty for Gary Neville after Gary Neville gets up, this game will become a stain on his law enforcement history, and it will become the first game in the country where the five major European leagues are located, and the two sides were forced to be terminated because of the number of players on the field was less than 7.

Walton, who knew that he had to control the situation on the court as soon as possible, couldn't help but say anything, rushed to the vicinity of the one-shot player, and then, took out a colored card from his pocket, and showed it to Gary Neville, who couldn't fit it after being pulled away by Bell.

However, it was nothing that Walton didn't make the final punishment here, he flashed his cards, and the players of Crystal Palace on the field were bizarre and angry.

Crystal Palace angry? It shouldn't be. They argued at first, even if Bale later provoked the fire of the players on both sides, for the sake of this card? Now that the referee has given them what they wanted, what kind of trouble are they still making trouble?

Well, if Walton, the referee on duty, took out this card, which is red, then the Crystal Palace players will stop even if they are unhappy and angry because of Li Yi's injury.

But what if Walton didn't give a red card and gave a yellow card? What about the situation?

Isn't that what is going on on the pitch right now?

Well, after a long time of inking, for Gary Neville's obviously deliberately hurtful back tackle, Walton you only showed a yellow card, such a penalty, not to mention the bloody young man of Crystal Palace on the field, even if it is the bad old man Friedman on the sidelines, it is absolutely intolerable. Hell, isn't Walton bullying them Crystal Palace? ――

That is, less than a minute ago, less than a minute after being besieged by Crystal Palace players, he was surrounded by Crystal Palace players again, and this time Walton's mentality was far less relaxed than the last time.

Because, the last time he was besieged, Walton knew very well that after he gave his reasons, the players of Crystal Palace would be very cooperative to get out of the way. This time, Walton knew better that at this time, whatever he actually said, he would not please the Crystal Palace's side. Unless, he reverses the previous yellow card and directly commutes Gary Neville's decision.

However, this is not possible. Because, not to mention that if he changes the verdict, he should be "beaten to death" by Manchester United players, even if it is from his own point of view, Gary Neville's red card, Walton can't and doesn't dare to play.

As the referee on duty in a game, it can be said that he has all the supreme power in this game in his life, in such a situation, what else can Walton dare not do?

It sounds awkward, but seriously, Walton's claim that he didn't dare to give a red card to Gary Neville is also an ironclad fact.

Walton didn't dare, first of all, it was not because he collected black money or anything, but to whom.

Here, the reason why he didn't dare to send Gary Neville off the court was because the pressure came from the referees' guild.

Why the referees guild puts pressure on it, it is a long talk, it is nothing more than the origin of the League Cup and the FA Cup. I won't go into detail here.

All in all, in short, to put it simply, the reason why the referees association wants to put pressure on Walton is actually just because they want to stimulate the ratings of the League Cup.

It is true that because the Premier League teams usually do not pay attention to the League Cup and FA Cup in the dense schedule, which has led to these two cup matches that the FA has high hopes for, in fact, whether it is for the fans or the Premier League teams, they are as weak as chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and can be discarded!

Prior to this tournament, the winners of the previous editions of the League Cup were either from the second tier or from the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, who did not have to fight for relegation.

Let's ask, when a cup and the champion are often such weak teams, who fans will continue to pay attention to such a cup?

Unfortunately, both the League Cup and the FA Cup have fallen into such an embarrassing situation in recent years.

What's more, what is not afraid of other people's jokes is that the ratings of the final of the League Cup in the first 2 years have not been able to catch up with those brain-dead idol dramas that have been replayed 5 or 6 times.

In such a situation, it is not easy to have a league final is the defending champion of the Premier League VS the old powerhouse, and because Crystal Palace took away the Premier League title that has almost been put into the pocket of the Red Devils last season, the first meeting between the two sides this season is also a lot of explosive points, this final, the two sides will inevitably fight to the death.

The two warring sides are currently the two teams with the highest attention rate in the Premier League, not to mention, the two sides will definitely sell their lives to compete for the victory of the game, such a final, the FA and the referees guild, seriously, it is difficult to have nothing to hype?

And this is the fundamental reason why Walton did not dare to show a red card to Gary Neville.

Just imagine, if one side is sent off in this game, plus Crystal Palace, who are theoretically going to benefit at this time, the score is still 1-0 ahead. Will the Red Devils still have a chance for the rest of the game?

If the Red Devils don't have a chance, won't this game be scrapped? So how did Walton go about the business after the game?

Of course, as a professional referee with professional ethics, Walton can swear by the lights that he will not have a red card, which must be related to the statement that the chairman of the referees association before the game told him to try his best to keep the game exciting, but more importantly, Gary Neville's previous action, in Walton's view, belongs to the kind of action that can be red carded, not necessarily red.

Admittedly, from Crystal Palace's point of view, Gary Neville is not only a behind-the-back tackle, but Gary Neville is the last player in his backline, and his action is an automatic red card......
