Chapter 69: The Chief Judge with Personality
Li Qingshan!!! The ball went in!! The ball went in!! United scored in the 53rd minute of the second half to level the score at 2-!! ”
"This is Li Qingshan's sixteenth league goal this season, nine games, scored sixteen goals, such a goal efficiency is really terrifying!! Chelsea should be careful, when Li Qingshan is in form, it is a 3-0 lead, which is not safe!! ”
Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief, although the team looked a little tired and a little out of shape, Li Qingshan's form can still be trusted.
His assistant Ryan Giggs also rushed out of the dugout, roaring and celebrating the goal with Carlo Ancelotti.
The Chelsea fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge were stunned for a moment at the goal conceded, and then shrill boos erupted.
Li Qingshan didn't care about the boos in the stands, as the core player of the team, he was always the target of the opposing fans whenever he walked away. For the scene of being booed by tens of thousands of people, Li Qingshan has long been accustomed to it.
It's just booed, it's not worth mentioning.
Despite their numbers, it is impossible for them to rush down from the stands to participate in the game. In any case, the game of football is always an eleven-on-eleven confrontation!
Conte was a little nervous, he looked at his bench and finally pressed the urge to make a substitution. After all, the second half had just begun, and his team still had a goal ahead.
And Chelsea are best at playing games like that, with Eden Hazard, Pedro and Diego Costa all good on the counter-attack, and he has a fast and skilled winger like Willian on the bench when necessary.
It's just a goal conceded, don't panic!
Conte straightened up some of his blazers and walked to the sidelines, his hands in a downward stance.
Steady!!
We're still ahead.
Don't be in a hurry!!
Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta also shouted at the Chelsea players. It will obviously be very difficult not to allow United to score, but it is Chelsea who are still leading the way and they can continue to play counter-attacking.
......
Li Qingshan's goal gave United a goal back, but the game didn't end there. For Manchester United, they are still one goal behind. So chasing a goal back was just a prelude to the start of Manchester United's attacking frenzy.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are also tightening the fence, waiting for the opportunity to counter-attack.
Both sides are creating a threat through their own tactical means.
In the 58th minute, Li Qingshan shot with a cushion after stopping the ball on his chest in the penalty area, and was held up by goalkeeper Courtois with one palm!
Two minutes later, Chelsea returned the colour when United's cross was cleared out of the box by Gary Cahill and Nemanja Matic picked up the ball and found Hazard with a long ball straight forward.
Eden Hazard started to catch up with the ball and then flicked left and right to break through Valencia's defence and pass the ball near the penalty spot near the baseline, only for Diego Costa to kick the ball away!
Both sides had a few attacking chances, but neither was able to convert them into goals.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Li Qingshan was about to turn around and shoot after taking the ball on the penalty line, but he had a knee pain and stumbled to the ground.
"Oooo David Lewis is going to pay attention to his moves!! He grabbed it directly, showed the sole of his shoe and landed on Li Qingshan's knee!! ”
"It's a foul enough to give a red card!!" Scholes looked furious.
And David Luiz's action also caused entanglement between the players of both sides, and the Manchester United players were very dissatisfied with the opponent's foul action.
Li Qingshan covered his knees and lay on the grass, and then he let go of his palm, and found that a piece of flesh on his knee had been removed by the other party's shoe spikes, and blood was left between his fingers.
Li Qingshan grinned in pain, he stood up and walked to the sidelines, Manchester United's team doctor hurriedly treated Li Qingshan's wound urgently.
"Li Qingshan's knee was cut open by a shoe spike, which looked like a flesh injury, and David Luiz's actions were too reckless."
There was still chaos on the pitch, with some of the United players ready to trouble David Luiz, while others went to the referee for an explanation. Some United players thought David Luiz's foul was in the box and a penalty should be awarded!!
On Chelsea's side, some of them blocked the Manchester United players who were looking for trouble, while David Luiz was innocently explaining something to the referee.
For a while, there was chaos on the field.
"From the slow-motion replay, David Luiz's action was enough to get a red card, and it is debatable whether his foul was on the line of the box or inside the box, and there was no more box footage for us to judge."
"Red card!! This should be a red card!! It's definitely a red card!! An excited Ancelotti rushed out of the technical area.
When David Luiz lifted his foot to Li Qingshan, Ancelotti felt like his heart was about to stop. If his team was without Li Qingshan, he really didn't know how to complete the game.
Manchester United with Li Qingshan and Manchester United without Li Qingshan are two completely different teams!!
Conte, on the other side, will not agree with Ancelotti's opinion: "How can this be a red card, it's just a big foul!!" And it's still outside the restricted area!! ”
Two Italians barred on the sidelines.
With the warning of the fourth official, the two managers also reprimanded back to their respective areas, and the game has already begun to smell of gunpowder.
The referee separated the players from both sides and then showed David Luiz a yellow card.
Chelsea fans in the stands and Antonio Conte in the dugout were relieved. To be honest, there was nothing to say about David Luiz's foul just now, even if the referee gave him a red card.
After all, the referee took into account Chelsea's home side and showed mercy to David Luiz's men.
The referee tends to be a little more lenient with the home team and a little harsher with the away team – and that's part of home advantage.
No matter how the Manchester United players protested, the referee had already made a decision and it could not be changed.
Then the referee points to the penalty spot..... A penalty was awarded!
This time it was Conte's turn to be furious!
"It's finding balance, it's definitely finding balance!! It was a foul on the line of the penalty area!!! ”
The camera showed the referee, who first gave David Luiz a light yellow card for a red card foul, but Chelsea were not relieved and the referee immediately made them angry.
"The referee seems to have too many scenes." Scholes shook his head and said.
The foul on David Luiz just now was indeed enough to get a red card, but whether the foul was in the box or not is still somewhat debatable.
Normally, the referee would probably show David Luiz a red card and then give United a free-kick on the line of the box.
"The referee may have done it for the sake of balance of the game," Andy Gray said helplessly.
The referees of the Premier League are sometimes full of personality.
