Chapter 21: Hit the head
Chapter 21 bumps over the head
"Whoa, whoa!! Skrtel!! It's really a fierce tackle, fortunately Li Qingshan even jumped up!! This is a pretty obvious foul. However, the referee didn't mean to take out the cards, and even without the help of replays, it was clear that Skrtel's spikes were showing. Andy Gray said.
Referee Mike Dean stood at the foul spot and watched as Mata set the ball before arranging the position of the human wall.
The ball was 278 metres from the goal, a little far away for Mata, but it was still within range.
And Li Qingshan has also come to the penalty area, ready to grab points and make up shots at any time.
Carlo Ancelotti didn't expect much from the free-kick and was still angrily arguing with the fourth official. When he saw Skrtel light up his shoe spikes and shovel towards Li Qingshan, the Italians' hearts rose to their throats.
Fortunately, Li Qingshan quickly got up and did not call the team doctor to enter the scene. This shows that the problem is not serious.
However, the opponent's tackle was not carded, and Ancelotti couldn't bear it.
'Skrtel's foul is definitely worthy of a yellow card and the referee should know that. At this time, you should resolutely take out the yellow card, and such malicious fouls must not be tolerated on the field! Gary Neville was indignant.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the referee not taking out a yellow card, this ball Li Qingshan has already dodged, and this is the Premier League, not La Liga or other leagues, the scale here is so big." Carragher retorted.
Just as the commentators were arguing, Mata ran and then took a free-kick straight into the goal.
The soccer ball went around the wall and flew in an arc towards the goal. The angle and arc were good, but unfortunately the ball speed did not come out, and the crossbar was lifted up by Mignera, who flew up.
Corner kick!
Skrtel is proud now.
Because Li Qingshan actually didn't enter the penalty area when he took a corner kick.
He thought he had succeeded in intimidating Li Qingshan.
No matter how many goals you score in La Liga, you are still a tender melon, so I don't believe you are not afraid!
This Liverpool defender was completely blown up by Li Qingshan in the two legs of the Champions League last season, and twice faced Li Qingshan's Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, he Skrtel became the background board for Li Qingshan's goals, and he certainly held his breath. This time in the Premier League, he must get this field back!
Skrtel, who has a bald head, has a fierce face, and if he sees it on the street, he doesn't look like a professional player, but like the underworld, the kind that can stop children crying at night.
However, Li Qingshan was by no means afraid of this evil man.
The triumphant Skrtel didn't notice the fierce light that Li Qingshan was looking at him.
As Mata walked towards the corner flag with the ball, Li Qingshan whispered in Mata's ear. Then he stood near the arc of the penalty area. This position is usually the position where the full-back stands, and the main purpose is to stand here to grab two points or to prevent the opponent's corner from being set up for a big counter-attack.
Juan Mata placed the ball on the corner, then raised his right hand before looking at Li Qingshan.
The eyes of the two met, and Li Qingshan nodded slightly.
Juan Mata runs and passes the ball up.
Didn't pass it on?!
Ancelotti frowned.
The ball was a little slower and a little erratic.
Skrtel slowly stepped back when he saw Mata's ball coming out, adjusting his position and preparing to clear the ball out of his own box.
However, just as he was about to take off, he suddenly felt a gust of wind in his ears, and when he reacted, he was knocked to the ground by a black shadow.
Li Qingshan started from outside the penalty area when Mata picked up the ball, and when the football flew into the penalty area, Li Qingshan had already jumped up, and the whole person flew in the air.
Skrtel, who was retreating, didn't know what was going on, and was knocked to the ground by Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan in the air collided with Skrtel at the same time, he also shook his head at the ball and smashed the football into the net, Mignole didn't have time to react at all, and could only wave his hand symbolically.
After Li Qingshan completed the action of shaking his head to attack the goal, he lost his center of gravity and fell down from the air.
However, Skrtel, who was knocked over by him, was stunned at the moment, he felt that the whole world was spinning, and he had no idea what was happening on the field at the moment.
Manchester United fans in the stands jumped from their seats and cheered.
However, before Li Qingshan could get up from the ground to celebrate the goal, the referee spread his hands and the whistle sounded.
The goal was invalid, and Li Qingshan fouled someone first!
"It's coming!! Li Qingshan stabbed out and killed it! Like Tarzan pressing the top, he pushed the ball into the goal of Mignolet's handle. ”
On the one hand, Zhang Jun is a Liverpool fan, so naturally he doesn't want to see Liverpool lose, but on the other hand, as a commentator, he has to suppress his emotions and act very excited when the goal appears.
It's really paradoxical.
But just as he was about to continue, referee Dean blew the whistle.
"The goal is invalid!! Referee McDean said that it was invalid in the near future, and Li Qingshan fouled first? ”
At this time, the TV broadcast camera began to broadcast the whole process of Li Qingshan's header just now.
After Mata kicked the ball up, Li Qingshan ran on the edge of the penalty line, cut into the box at high speed, and then jumped.
Skrtel, on the other hand, kept staring at the ball and retreating to adjust his position.
Li Qingshan jumped before Skrtel, and as soon as Skrtel jumped up, he collided with Li Qingshan.
"This ball........ Doesn't it seem like it should be a foul?! Andy Gray hesitated for a moment and said, the reason for the hesitation was because Skrtel's whole body was almost flying out.
Skrtel didn't stand up in his defensive position, he kept moving his position, and Li Qingshan didn't have any hand or shoulder movements when he collided with him............. This should be a good shot! ”
"This can only be blamed on Li Qingshan, the scene of knocking people into the air is too exaggerated." Gary Neville laughed.
Thierry Henry, on the other hand, was very unhappy with referee Mike Dean: "Some referees in the Premier League really need to improve their posture. ”
Thierry Henry has been cheated by Mike Dean many times before when he played at Arsenal, so he is understandably unhappy with the referee.
Manchester United's players protested to the referee to no avail, while Liverpool's players were secretly rejoicing.
Poor Skrtel lay on the ground in a daze, as if he were out of this world.
It was goalkeeper Mignole who first noticed that something was wrong with Skrtel, and when he saw Skrtel lying motionless on the ground with his eyes rolled blankly, he hurriedly called the team doctor to the sidelines.
At this time, other players also found out about Skrtel's situation, and the United players did not bother to protest to the referee.
Liverpool's team doctor rushed in, but fortunately, Skrtel finally stood up groggily with the help of the team doctor.
But it looks like he didn't fall lightly, and he's still a little dizzy.
In this case, the team doctor did not dare to let him stay on the field, but made a gesture of substitution.
He's going to be on the field to scrutinize Skrtel, and even send one if necessary. Head injuries must be handled with care.
Rodgers had no choice but to make a substitution, and he replaced Skrtel with Colo Toure.
Skrtel, who was 193 centimeters, was substituted, while Colo Toure, who was substituted, was only 183 centimeters tall.
Liverpool's backline will be tested even more.
