Chapter 55: I'll Come
Chapter 55: I'll Come
When Li Qingshan fell to the ground, everyone became excited.
Commentator, Manchester United fan, Carlo Ancelotti. And Pellegrini's face turned blue.
Of course, he knew what Kompany's foul meant, and even if it was a one-on-one shot directly against the goalkeeper, Kompany's foul would technically be worthy of a red card.
Put the shovel directly behind the back, one foot is still raised high, and more importantly, it destroys a chance to go single!
Such a foul must be a red card.
When Kompany saw the referee blow the whistle and run towards him, he chuckled and knew something was wrong.
When he got off the tackle, he didn't think about Li Qingshan's position and the consequences of fouling in this situation, and when he finished the tackle, it was too late to regret it.
However, Kompany does not regret it, if Li Qingshan is allowed to enter the penalty area and face the goalkeeper directly, then the possibility of conceding the ball is quite large.
And he put Li Qingshan to the ground outside the penalty area, although he gave Manchester United a free kick, but the probability of scoring this free kick is much lower than Li Qingshan's single knife.
Kompany now knows he could be sent off, but as a seasoned veteran, he still has to fight for himself.
So he got up from the ground, spread his hands, and shook his head to show his innocence.
Actually, Kompany wanted to say: I didn't shovel this kid, and he had nothing to do with me.
It's just that Li Qingshan, who was lying on the ground, didn't see Kompany's movements, he just felt a pain in his calf, so he pulled down the socks, and saw that the red marks kicked out by the ball nails were clearly visible on his calf.
"Kompany is in big trouble, although he successfully prevented Li Qingshan from a chance to shoot a single goal, but he will also pay a heavy price!"
"Clattenburg walked up to Kompany, what color would he pull out of his pocket!"
Clattenburg walked up to Kompany and then ......... through his chest pocket Take out a red card!
Then it was shown to the Manchester City captain and the main centre-back.
"Not surprising! Kompany sent off! ”
"This is the second red card of this game, and now the two sides are on an equal position in terms of numbers!"
Kompany was also quite helpless in the face of this red card, but he didn't dwell on it, just waved his hand, expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty, and turned around and walked off the field, and in the next game, he could only wait in the away dressing room at Old Trafford to take over - in order to make things difficult for the away team, the away team dressing room at Old Trafford did not have any television, and even the network signal was very weak, and Kompany had to spend a rather boring thirty minutes in the dressing room.
The United fans in the stands cheered.
The opposition has now also been sent off with a red card, and he is also a centre-back. Now the two sides are in an equal position in terms of numbers, and the next games are still to be played.
........
Without the main central defender, the impact on Manchester City is absolutely immeasurable.
Pellegrini had already anticipated the red card after Kompany's foul, so he was already preparing for it.
With around 30 minutes remaining, this is no time to complain, and Pellegrini will be hoping to close the distance between Manchester United and Manchester City.
He arranged for Demichelis to warm up, and with one less central defender, he naturally needed to be replaced by another central defender.
Manuel Pellegrini could only make a substitution on the offensive line, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
Raheem Sterling was substituted and Demichelis came on as a substitute. In this way, at least City's defence is intact.
Pellegrini actually thought about it for a while, so he just shrunk the defense, anyway, now there are more than 30 minutes left in the game, his team is still one goal ahead of Manchester United, if they can hold on to this win, of course, it would be best, but even if there is a draw in the end, then Manchester City can actually accept it - the points gap has not widened further, and they still have a chance to meet in the second leg, when it was at Manchester City's home stadium.
As long as this game is not lost, Manchester City is acceptable.
.......
Kompany's only correct decision was to put Li Qingshan to the ground before he could enter the penalty area. If he was a little late, Li Qingshan would have entered the forbidden area. When Kompany is fouled, it will not only be a matter of a red card, but he will also give Manchester United a penalty package.
Red card plus penalty package, how cruel it is.
The free-kick wasn't too well placed because it was on the edge of the box, which was a bit too close to goal for the free-kick taker.
Such a close free kick is very difficult to deal with, especially in the mastery of force, a little force, the football will fly, if the force is too small, the ball speed can not get up, it will be difficult to break through the opponent's goalkeeper's ten fingers.
If you want to kick the elevator ball and the ball goes over the wall, the remaining distance is not enough to fall. If you want a football to fly into the goal, the height of the ball may not be able to reach the human wall.
Rooney and Di Maria are debating what to do.
The ball is positioned a little bit to the left, but it doesn't deviate too much, and it's a good thing to handle with both the left and right foot.
Manchester City's human wall slowly retreated under the supervision of referee Clattenburg, and when Clattenburg was reincarnated, Manchester City's human wall quietly moved forward a little.
Standing in front of the ball, Rooney naturally saw the small movements of the human wall clearly, and he raised his hand to protest to the referee.
It wasn't until Clattenburg gave a final warning to the wall that City's wall was put down.
City's players don't want to get a yellow card for this, they just want to move the wall as close as possible and then delay for a while.
Li Qingshan was originally staying in the penalty area, and the free kick had little to do with him, and Ancelotti would never designate Li Qingshan to take the free kick.
However, when the Manchester City players slowly set up the human wall, Rooney and Di Maria were still covering their mouths and discussing something, Li Qingshan suddenly decided to go and kick it himself.
"Why don't I kick it!" Li Qingshan pushed aside the crowd, walked up to Di Maria and Rooney and said.
"You're coming?" Both Rooney and Di Maria were a little skeptical.
"I'm good at shooting from a distance, I'll try it with one kick!"
Rooney nodded: "Then let Lee try it." ”
Di Maria nodded in agreement.
Both of them agreed, and no one else rushed to take the free-kick.
