When Morris fell to the ground, Wan Sheng thought it was a penalty, and he raised his fist to cheer, but soon he realized that he thought too well, the referee did not give a penalty, and directly awarded the ball to Chelsea, and his action of getting Morris up seemed to say, "It's good that you didn't fake a fall." ”

Morris didn't expect the referee to do that, and he also thought it was a penalty.

When he saw the referee's gesture, even though he was a good man and didn't like to quarrel with people, he still yelled at the referee with some annoyance, "That's a foul!" ”

He pointed his finger at Paolo Ferreira.

Ferreira was also stunned, in fact, just now he also knew that he was too big, and the other Chelsea players also knew that they also thought it was a penalty, but he quickly reacted and immediately pretended to be innocent, but this action was a bit too fake, and the referee followed and immediately realized that he had made a mistake.

By this time, the Derby County players had already surrounded them.

"It's a penalty, Mr. Referee!"

"You made a wrong decision! Lee was hit! It's not a foul, then we'll have a bigger move in a while, and you'll be watching from the sidelines! ”

"What is this! Penalty, it's a penalty! ”

“”

The Derby County player kept talking, but the referee ignored him, he already knew he had made a mistake, but the majesty of the referee was the most important thing, the decision could never be changed, he just signaled for Chelsea to kick off and let the game restart.

Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Morris hurriedly asked his teammates to return to their positions.

The referee does this if Chelsea kick off the ball. They're still pestering and the goals are definitely valid, so it's still important to hold on and keep playing.

Soon the game resumed.

But there was nothing the players could do and the Derby County fans were very unhappy as their side were kept at bay by Chelsea. It was infuriating to have a good chance, only to be blocked by a foul by an opposing defender and the penalty was awarded again, so the Derby County fans kept yelling in the stands.

The referee in the stadium could not hear it, but the left and right linesmen were very close to the stands. They heard it clearly.

"Bastard referee, how much money did you charge the Russians!"

"Be careful, you're going to be out of luck!"

"I'll know where you live!"

“”

In the midst of these noisy threats and intimidation and swearing, there was also an unknown number of British national scoldings, which made the referee and the fourth official's head a little bigger. The stadium security was also a lot more nervous.

You know, there are no guardrails in the football stadium in the UK, and there is a high platform of more than one meter between the fan stands at Pride Stadium and the playing field, and fans only need to jump off the pitch to rush into the field.

Although the Derby County fans are considered to be the 'good-tempered' among England fans, they are so passive in their own home game. The decision to miss a penalty is completely understandable for the fans, but this understanding makes them all feel uneasy. I didn't feel angry in my heart for scolding the referee for making such a mistake.

No one really thinks that the referee has received any benefits or anything.

The football environment in Europe is quite good, and the Premier League is one of the best, and the FA has been very strict in cracking down on various football crimes in order to promote the Premier League to the world, and various rules and regulations are also very sound.

In England, I have only heard of a few referees giving decisions in favour of Manchester United. It's also because of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's huge influence in the refereeing community and the pressure he puts on the referees during the game. Objectively, it did win the Red Devils enough off-field advantages, which were recognized by the British media. But other teams are no exception, especially Chelsea, and some have become the target of referees, mainly because in the first dozen rounds, Mourinho's 'big mouth' mentioned referees more than once, which made many referees have a bad sense of Chelsea.

In short, despite the referee's obvious mistake, no one thought the referee was really selfish in favour of Chelsea, so a penalty was denied, and Derby County could only consider themselves unlucky.

Even so, a penalty was confiscated, and Wan Sheng was still very unwilling.

When the game resumed, Wan Sheng swung his fist around the sidelines, he saw a mineral water bottle, and a vent-like kick was directly pumped on the bottle, this kick was earth-shattering, and the mineral water bottle smashed directly into the body of the fourth official.

The fourth official's face immediately darkened, Diamares hurriedly went over to explain well, and the fourth official still said to Wan Sheng with a dark face, "Mr. Wan Sheng, you'd better pay attention to your feelings, you don't want to be sent off, right?" ”

Wan Sheng glanced at the fourth official, said nothing, and returned to his seat.

Arguing with the fourth official now, it would definitely be worth the cost, the situation is already like this, what he needs to do is to figure out how to deal with the next situation.

It wasn't just a penalty, it was a blow to Derby's morale.

The home game with Chelsea played so passively, even if the whole team knew that it was a tactical relationship, but it was not easy to get the opportunity, but it was directly ruled out by the referee, which was definitely a heavy blow to morale, and then faced the pressure of Chelsea's continuous attack, and then it was not easy to play with a stable mentality.

There was no chance in this first half.

Wan Sheng is very clear about this, although he is very confident in his own tactics, but when the fighting spirit of the whole team is affected, even the best tactics will not work, he only hopes that the team can hold the first half.

So Wan Sheng walked to the sideline again and began to command the defense with shouts.

It's not that he wants his command to have any effect, in fact, it's purely to let the players on the field hear their voices, tell them that they have been watching the game carefully, tell them that they still have confidence in the game, let them know this, so that they can find the backbone and play better.

But there are always holes in defense.

In front of a scrappy Chelsea, it was not easy for Derby County to defend with all their might, and in the end in the 43rd minute of the first half, Chelsea still scored, and it was striker Didier Drogba, who received the ball in the box, forced Marcus away, turned and volleyed the ball in.

The Chelsea fans cheered happily as the ball flew into the goal, while the Derby County fans booed, but it was much weaker, and it was Chelsea who scored.

Wan Sheng's face darkened slightly.

After the penalty was not awarded, he had a hunch that this would happen, it was not easy for the Derby County defense to keep the goal, the morale was low, and Chelsea's chances of scoring would naturally be greater, and he wanted to hold the first half, but sure enough, the first half could not be held.

It's the referee's problem.

But the situation is already like this, Wan Sheng can only choose to face it, and now what he needs is a halftime break, and only after adjusting his mentality at halftime can they have a chance.

Next, Wan Sheng asked the whole team to continue to defend.

You can't concede a second goal anyway, it's acceptable to be one goal behind, and if it's two goals behind and you want to chase it back, it's a bit whimsical, after all, it's Chelsea, England's strongest team right now, and the best team to defend.

As Chelsea celebrated their goal, Wan Sheng called in captain Marcus.

"Gotta hold the goal! Let them all go back, defend! ”

"yes, I see." Marcus nodded in response.

Marcus said yes and told the other players when he got back on the court. Wan Sheng returned to the coach's bench and watched the game strictly, his mind already deep in thought. (To be continued)
