The 24,000-seat Midejeski Stadium was packed with nearly 20,000 fans, while local television stations in Reading and Manchester paid close attention to the game, which was broadcast live on the main event of the round.

But no one would have imagined that this game, which should have been a fierce game, would turn into such a situation from the beginning, and even Martin Taylor, who is quite optimistic about the new Manchester United, has to admit that the new Manchester United is unlucky in this game.

The new Manchester United starting line-up for this game is Didier Drogba as the central striker, Malouda and Hleb on the wings, Senna, De Rossi and Essien in midfield, Abidal, Terry, Chiellini and Toure in the back, and Almunia in goal.

With the exception of Juninho Jr. who was injured and Curtis was suspended, Mourinho had to use De Rossi and young Chiellini, who were basically the team's strongest players and the best performers this season.

In terms of Curtis's substitutes, Mourinho originally wanted to use Hangrande, who rotated Terry many times and performed very well, and his partner with Curtis was also tacit, but thinking that Reading's two forwards were fast types, and Hangrande and Terry were both lacking in turning, which made Mourinho dismiss this idea.

Another better option is to play Abidal at centre-back, but the latter hasn't played centre-back for a year, and Mourinho is still a little at ease with Patrice Evra's defense on the left, you know, Reading is also very capable of attacking on both wings.

In the end, Mourinho decided to use Chiellini, the Italian has replaced Curtis many times this season, and despite his many mistakes, the overall performance is not bad, and his pace is good, complementing Terry's characteristics, coupled with the recent diligence in training, the quality has improved quickly, so Mourinho decided to give him a chance.

But who knows, less than 10 minutes into the game, Chiellini made a not very necessary mistake at the edge of the penalty area, fouled, the Reading striker fell into the penalty area, and the referee who caught up from behind showed Chiellini a yellow card and awarded a penalty without even thinking about it!

…………

'Oh my God, we saw the slow-motion replay, and although Chiellini's foul wasn't necessary, his foul was definitely outside the box, it was definitely a mistake and a penalty should not have been awarded!' Scarlett looked angry.

Martin Taylor shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The referee's mistake will make the new Manchester United 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 key surname game, will determine the battle for the top spot!" ”

"Before this game, the news from Brentford that the home team has a 2-0 lead over the visitors, Brentford has no problem winning this game, but if the new Manchester United fall at the feet of Reading, it will inevitably widen the gap."

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

"Oh my God, this referee must be crazy to show the new Manchester United manager a red card? Is there anything crazier in the world? Does he want to dominate the game? ”

Martin Taylor smiled bitterly and shook his head constantly, he felt that the referee's decision was very problematic, "I now very very much hope that the FA can strengthen the training of referees, especially those referees who punish the lower leagues, their level is too low, they actually misjudged a penalty at the beginning of such a crucial game, and also sent the opposing manager out of the field, the tendency is too obvious!" ”

On the live broadcast screen, Mourinho frequently turned his head to the linesman and the referee and chattered something, walked to the coach's box, explained a few words to his assistants, and then walked into the players' tunnel.

"Reading took the penalty, they chose to take this penalty by the number 9 striker, and the goal went in!"

The moment Reading scored, the stadium erupted in cheers, but the cheers were clearly mixed with strong boos, apparently the dissatisfaction of the fans who had followed the team to the away stadium for the penalty.

"The fans of the new Manchester United have a million reasons to vent their frustration with the state of the game, the team they support has been taught a painful lesson in the space of ten minutes, the manager has been sent to the stands, the team has been awarded a penalty, and the starting centre-back Chiellini has a yellow card, which is like a tight spell!" Martin Taylor has a somewhat sympathetic analysis.

"But the fans still show their support for the players!" Scarlett said comfortingly.

At the scene, although the fans of New Manchester United were inferior in numbers, they created a lot of noise, constantly singing the team song of New Manchester United, high-pitched and passionate.

After the manager was sent off, the new Manchester United were given the responsibility by Kassel, who frequently came to the sidelines to tell the players to concentrate and stabilize their positions first, so as not to give Reading another chance.

Terry looked at Chiellini, who looked nervous and flustered, and then at the captain's armband on his shoulder, the absence of Juninho Jr. and Curtis made him the team's captain on the field, and he felt that he should do something.

"Hey, Geogeo, don't be nervous, pay attention, keep an eye on the front, and keep an eye on your teammates' positions, just like you would in training, you know?" Terry shouted.

Chiellini nodded vigorously, as if he understood, but Terry could clearly see his hands clasped together, his feet trembling slightly, and he was still a little relieved that he had just turned 17 after all.

Sure enough, in an attack by the opposition, Chiellini did not return in time enough, resulting in a behind-the-back kick from the opponent, but fortunately, Terry, who came back in time, rushed over and cleared the ball out of bounds with a big foot.

"Hey, Geogeo, what's the matter with you?" Terry ran up to Chiellini and shouted.

Chiellini shook his head vigorously, "No...... It's okay! ”

"You're so nervous, man!" Terry held Chiellini's head firmly, and the voices of the Reading fans forced them to speak loudly, and the unaware thought they were fighting.

'It's a life-or-death game, we're behind, you can't be nervous, you're carrying a yellow card, you know?' Terry strained his young teammate to wake up, then looked at Cassel on the sidelines and shook his head.

Chiellini was still too young to do well in training, but it was training, it was a key game.

It was only then that Kassel felt the pressure of Mourinho directing the game, and he had to make a judgment as soon as possible, but his mind was in a mess now, with the manager sent off and the centre-back saddled with a yellow card, and Reading playing with momentum and creating frequent threats.

What should he do?

"Damn it!" Cassel turned around angrily, just as Faria ran up.

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

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

Cassel is out of idea now, and he knows that Mourinho will definitely support the decision, so he immediately did so.

But the change off the field is always not as fast as the change on the field.

The new Manchester United, who had just been awarded a penalty, withstood the 25 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment by the Reading team, and even the center forward Drogba frequently appeared in the penalty area to participate in the defense, and the whole team fought with momentum.

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

Everyone at the scene was stunned, only to see the main striker of the Reading team fall near the near post, and Chiellini next to him stood stunned, sweeping his teammates in a daze, he felt as if he was cut off from this world, his mind was buzzing, but it was blank.

The only thing that was sober was the shocking yellow card raised in the air, which quickly turned into a red card.

All the new United players rushed to the front, questioning why the referee had shown Chiellini a yellow card, while the referee kept signaling that Chiellini had elbowed the opposition player in the face.

"It is shown in slow motion that Chiellini's movements are just a habitual reaction after being entangled by the opponent, but due to his height, he accidentally hit the opponent's face, which shows a yellow card, which is really difficult to convince!" Scarlett was again aggrieved by the new Manchester United, and she felt that the referee's preference for this game was too obvious.

Chiellini walked off the field in a daze, and along the way there were constantly teammates comforting the young man, the pressure he was under was too great for him to bear, and the live camera even captured the tears rolling in his eyes, which was very sad.

However, the game continued on the pitch and when Giorgio Chiellini came on, the referee signalled for Reading to take a corner.

The opponent took a low flat ball, aimed at the near post, Almunia quickly judged the way of the ball, decisively chose to attack, directly saved, firmly held the ball, the opponent's striker could not retract, directly hit Almunia.

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

Crazy, the new Manchester United players on the field are completely crazy, they are around the referee to ask for an explanation, Almunia obviously saved the ball first, why would he be punished for a foul?

The referee signaled Almunia to bring down the opposing striker before grabbing 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, and the scene was completely out of control, Drogba and Essien next to him almost rushed over to grab the referee in anger, but fortunately Terry and Senna ran over and stopped them.

Then at this time, everyone noticed that Almunia had fallen in the penalty area, never getting up, holding his right hand in pain.
