Red Rebels

The Madejski Stadium, which can accommodate 24,000 fans, was filled with nearly 20,000 fans. At the same time, local TV stations in Reading and Manchester paid great attention to the game and broadcast the game live. The main event of the round.

But no one would have imagined that this supposedly intense game would turn into such a situation from the very beginning. Even Martin Taylor, who was quite optimistic about the new Manchester United, had to admit that this game was so intense. The new Manchester United game is more difficult than good.

In this game, the starting lineup of the new Manchester United is Drogba as the center, Malouda and Hleb are separated on the two wings, Senna, De Rossi and Essien are partners in the midfield, and the back line is Abidal, Terry, Chiellini and Toure, the goalkeeper is Almunia.

Except for the injury of Junior Juninho and the suspension of Curtis with a yellow card, Mourinho had to use De Rossi and the young Chiellini. The best player of the season.

As a substitute for Curtis, Mourinho originally wanted to use Hangeland. The latter played Terry many times and performed very well. He was also a tacit partner with Curtis, but he thought of Reading. The team's two strikers are fast types, and Hangeland and Terry are lacking in turning, which makes Mourinho to dispel the idea.

Another better option is to use Abidal to play a central defender, but the latter has not played a central defender for a year, and Mourinho is still a little worried about Evra's defense on the left. You know, Ray Team D's two-wing assault capability is also very strong.

In the end, Mourinho decided to use Chiellini. The Italian has replaced Curtis many times this season. Although he made a lot of mistakes, his overall performance is not bad, and his speed is good, which complements Terry's characteristics , In addition, he has been very diligent in training recently and his strength has improved rapidly, so Mourinho decided to give him a chance.

But who knows, less than 10 minutes into the game, Chiellini made an unnecessary mistake at the front of the penalty area, fouled, and the Reading forward fell into the penalty area, and the referee who was catching up from behind was right. Chiellini showed a yellow card and awarded a penalty!

…………

"Oh my God, we saw the slow-motion replay. Although Chiellini's foul was unnecessary, his foul was definitely outside the penalty area. This is definitely a miscalculation, and a penalty should not be awarded!" Scarlett seemed very angry.

Martin Taylor shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The referee's mistakes will cause the new Manchester United to suffer huge losses. We can see that Mourinho frequently signaled to the linesman on the sidelines. It was a misjudgment just now. It seems that he is very excited. No wonder , this is a crucial match that will decide the battle for the top spot!"

"Before this game, there was news from Brentford that the home team had already led the visiting team 2-0, and it would not be a problem for Brentford to win the game, but if the new Manchester United fell to Reading Underfoot, that will definitely widen the gap."

"Hey, what's going on? The referee ran to the sidelines, showed Mourinho a red card and sent him off the field!" Scarlett shouted in surprise.

"God, this referee must be crazy. He actually gave the new Manchester United manager a red card? Is there anything crazier than this? Does he want to dominate the game?"

Martin Taylor laughed bitterly and kept shaking his head. He felt that the referee's penalty was very problematic, "I now very, very hope that the FA can strengthen the training of referees, especially those referees who penalize low-level leagues. Their level is really low.

To have misjudged a penalty kick at the beginning of such a crucial game, and even sent off the opponent's head coach, the tendency is too obvious! "

On the live broadcast, Mourinho frequently turned his head to the linesman and the referee chattering about something, walked to the coach's bench, explained a few words to his assistants, and then walked into the player tunnel.

"Reading's penalty, they chose the No. 9 striker to take the penalty, and the goal was scored!"

The moment Reading scored a goal, the whole stadium burst into cheers, but the cheers were obviously mixed with strong boos. It was obviously the fans of the new Manchester United who followed the team to the away game. of dissatisfaction.

"The new Manchester United fans have a million reasons to vent their dissatisfaction with the state of the game, with the team they support suffering a painful lesson in ten minutes in a row, the manager being sent to the stands, the team being penalized A penalty kick, and the starting center-back Chiellini has a yellow card, this is like a spell!" Martin Taylor's somewhat sympathetic analysis.

"But the fans still support the players!" Scarlett said comfortably.

At the scene, although the number of fans of the new Manchester United was at a disadvantage, the momentum they created was very big, and they kept singing the team song of the new Manchester United with high pitch and passion.

After the head coach was sent off, Cassell took on the heavy responsibility of the new Manchester United. He frequently came to the sidelines, so that the players should concentrate and stabilize their positions first, so that Reading would not have another opportunity.

Terry looked at Chiellini who looked nervous and flustered beside him, and then looked at the captain's armband on his shoulders. The absence of Juninho and Curtis made him a part of the team's field. Captain, he felt he should do something.

"Hey, Giorgio, don't be nervous, pay attention, keep an eye on the front, watch your teammates' positions, just like you usually do in training, understand?" Terry shouted loudly.

Chiellini nodded vigorously, as if he understood, but Terry clearly saw his hands clasped together, his feet trembled slightly, and he was still a little worried about him, after all, he was just full. 17 years old.

Sure enough, in an opponent's attack, Chiellini's defense was not timely enough, causing the opponent to hit a ball behind him. Fortunately, Terry, who came back in time, rushed over and cleared the ball out of bounds with his big feet.

"Hey, Giorgio, what's the matter with you?" Terry shouted as he ran to Chiellini.

Chiellini shook his head vigorously, "No...it's fine!"

"You're so nervous, man!" Terry held Chiellini's head firmly, and the voice of the Reading fans at the scene forced them to speak loudly, and those who didn't know it thought they were fighting.

"This is a life-and-death game, we are behind, you can't be nervous, you are carrying a yellow card, you know?" Terry forced his young teammates to wake up, then looked at Cassell on the sidelines, shaking shook his head.

Chiellini is still too young to do well in training, but that's training, it's a crucial game.

It was only at this time that Cassell deeply felt the pressure that Mourinho was under when directing the game. He had to make a judgment as soon as possible, but now his mind is in a mess. The Reading team played imposing, frequently creating threats.

What should he do?

"Damn it!" Cassel turned his head angrily, just at this moment Faria ran up.

"Hey, Jim!" Faria leaned over and muttered a few words in Cassel's ear. The latter looked up and saw Xiao Yu shaking the phone in his hand, with Murray sitting next to him. Neo.

Cassel nodded, came to the bench, and asked Bosingwa to warm up. The text message Xiao Yu sent to Faria just now was to replace Chiellini with Bosingwa and let Toure play the central defender. .

Cassell is now out of ideas, he knows Mourinho must also support this decision, so he did it immediately.

But the changes off the field are not as fast as the changes on the field.

The new Manchester United, who had just been awarded a penalty kick, endured 25 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment by Reading, and they literally withstood the pressure. Even center Drogba frequently appeared in the penalty area to participate in the defense. Fighting with momentum.

Unexpectedly, when Reading took a corner kick, the referee blew the whistle again.

Everyone at the scene was stunned. They saw the main striker of Reading team collapsed near the near post, and Chiellini stood dumbfounded next to him, swept over his teammates at a loss, he felt himself It was as if he was cut off from this world, his mind was buzzing, but it was blank.

The only thing sober was the shocking yellow card held high, which quickly turned into a red card.

All the new Manchester United players rushed up. They questioned why the referee gave Chiellini a yellow card, and the referee kept indicating that Chiellini had hit the opponent's face with an elbow just now.

"The slow motion shows that Chiellini's actions are just a habitual reaction after being entangled by the opponent, but because of his height, he accidentally hit the opponent's face, which shows a yellow card, which is really difficult to convince people. !" Scarlett complained again for the new Manchester United, she felt that the tendency of the referee in this game was too obvious.

Chiellini walked off the stage in a daze. There were constant teammates along the way to comfort the young man. The pressure he was under was too great, and he couldn't bear it. The live broadcast even captured the tears rolling in his eyes. Very sad.

However, the game on the field continued. After Chiellini played, the referee signaled to Reading to take a corner kick.

The opponent made a low flat ball and aimed it at the near post. Almunia quickly determined the path of the ball, chose to attack decisively, saved it directly, hugged the ball firmly, and the opponent's forward closed the momentum He couldn't stop and ran into Almunia directly.

But just when the new Manchester United players breathed a sigh of relief, the referee blew the disaster whistle again and awarded Almunia a foul and a penalty kick!

Crazy, the new Manchester United players on the field are completely crazy, they are begging for a statement around the referee, Almunia obviously saved the ball first, why would he be penalized for a foul?

The referee signaled that when Almunia threw the ball, he threw down the opponent's striker first, and then caught the ball.

"Sir, you should know what kind of results this will bring!" Drogba stared fiercely at the referee.

The referee did not hesitate to give Drogba another yellow card. The scene was completely out of control. Drogba and Essien next to him almost went crazy and rushed over to grab the referee. Fortunately, Terry and Senna ran over and stopped them. .

Then at this time, everyone noticed that Almunia fell in the restricted area and never got up, holding his right hand in pain.
