The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1220
1220 Begin Your Clumsy Performance
Pa!
Zhong Zheng immediately flew sideways and blocked the flying football with his right hand. The football was immediately thrown out of the bottom line.
The Liverpool fans at the scene were filled with regret!
How could such a good opportunity not be scored? Kuyt’s high-altitude shot was perfect. Unfortunately, it was too bad!
Liverpool fans kept shaking their heads. What a missed opportunity!
On the sidelines, Benitez turned around and sighed. What a good opportunity! What a pity!
The Leeds United fans heaved a sigh of relief. It was just too dangerous, very dangerous.
At this moment, Liverpool got a corner kick!
Liverpool players rushed to the corner to serve the corner kick. The Liverpool fans were cheering for Liverpool, hoping that they could turn the tables on them from time to time.
Unfortunately, this was the home ground of Leeds United, and the voices of Leeds United fans became even louder.
Beep, the referee’s whistle sounded. Kuyt’s kick in the corner sent the ball into the restricted area of Leeds United and the ball flew towards the back of the restricted area.
Compani, who was behind the box, jumped high and headed the ball out of the baseline.
A corner kick, Liverpool or a corner kick!
Kompani had just succeeded in securing a spot. Behind him, Skrtel didn’t have a chance at all and the football flew out of the bottom line.
Kuyt switched to the other side to punish the corner kick.
Kuyt stared at the box and raised his right hand to signal to his teammates that he was about to kick off.
Liverpool fans immediately cheered loudly on the team.
With a bang, Kuyt’s kick quickly pushed the football out. The football flew into the restricted area of Leeds United and drew an arc towards the middle of the restricted area.
Daniel Agger immediately jumped up and smashed his head into the football.
“Liverpool, header!” Eddie Gray roared in horror.
“Aiya! Unfortunately, the football hit David Louis on the shoulder and bounced off the bottom line. Liverpool are not lucky!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
Chi!
The Leeds United fans at the scene exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. It was really dangerous just now!
If it weren’t for David Louis blocking it, the goal would have been undoubtedly scored. It was really too dangerous. Liverpool’s luck was not good!
Corner kick, Liverpool continue to corner kick!
Kuyt had simply died in battle in the Horned Flag District at this moment, not moving a single step!
Kuyt glanced at Leeds United’s box this time and gently pushed the ball out, rolling under the feet of full-back Insua who was following him.
The Leeds United players were shocked. It was a tactical corner!
Leeds United winger Patrick Aver rushed out and pounced on Insua. Insua immediately swung his leg and kicked the ball. With a bang, the ball flew up and drew an arc. Then, he mercilessly concentrated on Patrick Aver, who had jumped up, and the ball bounced out of the bottom line.
A corner kick, or a corner kick!
The Leeds United fans’ breathing became even faster. There were too many corner kicks. This should be the fourth consecutive corner kick, right?
Liverpool are attacking around Leeds United at this time. The pressure on Leeds United’s players must be very, very high. If this kind of pressure continues, Leeds United will be really dangerous.
Albertini shouted loudly from the sidelines, “Steady, steady. We are still ahead, don’t panic, they have nothing to do with our defence!”
When the Leeds United players heard the shouts, they calmed down and followed their opponents closely.
Zhong Cheng sat on the sidelines and watched quietly. During this period of time, Leeds United were truly too passive. Although Leeds United used to be defensive counterattacks, they weren’t so passive in defense. If they continued to be so passive, Leeds United would be more dangerous.
Most importantly, the fitness of the Leeds United players was too much in the first half, and Leeds United were about to enter a difficult period. At this time, if Leeds United could not hold out, the possibility of Leeds conceding the goal was very high.
Zhong Cheng sat quietly on the sidelines, staring at the field.
Zhong Cheng wanted to see how Albertini could break the game?
Corner kicks, Liverpool are still corner kicks!
Kuyt had indeed taken root in the corner and was ready to serve the corner. He looked up at Leeds United’s restricted area, as if he was looking at where he was going to drive the football?
At this moment, the referee of this match blew the whistle!
Kuyt took a deep breath, ran up and slammed his foot into the football.
With a bang, the football flew into the restricted area of Leeds United, heading straight for the middle of the restricted area.
Skrtel and Daniel Agger both rushed over and jumped high to head in.
Right at this moment, Zhong Zheng rushed out and jumped high into the air to grab the moon. He directly took off the football and hugged it in his arms.
The Leeds United fans at the scene immediately gave a thunderous round of applause.
Zhong Zheng, who was holding the football in his arms, immediately rushed out and arrived at the edge of the restricted area. Then, he threw it with all his might, wanting to throw the ball from a long distance and launch a quick counterattack.
Zhong Zheng saw Cristiano Ronaldo stuck in front of the winger, who was now raising his hand to ask. He was delighted in his heart, an opportunity, an excellent opportunity to retaliate!
Zhong Zheng immediately waved his arm and threw the football out!
But just as he was about to throw the football out, he suddenly stretched out a hand and slapped the football. He directly slapped down the football in Zhong Zheng’s hand, causing Zhong Zheng to panic. Houzhong Zheng heard someone’s kick towards the football, boom!
Babel slapped off the football in Zhong Zheng’s hand. Not only did he kill Leeds United’s excellent opportunity to counterattack, he also created chaos in Leeds United’s restricted area. This fellow’s shot directly hit Kompani’s foot, ejecting the bottom line.
At this time, the referee had already blown his whistle to indicate a foul.
Zhong Zheng immediately rushed to the referee and shouted, “Mr. Referee, this is a handball, purposely a handball. It also ruined our chances of counterattacking. This is a red card that should be given. This guy should be punished!”
The other Leeds United players also rushed over, all of them excited!
On the sidelines, Benitez could only helplessly shake his head when he saw this. Why is this damn fellow so unclear-headed? Even if it was a foul, wouldn’t it be enough for you to overthrow him? How to play football?
Benitez is speechless, this Babel foul is ridiculous!
Rafael Benitez shook his head. It was stupid!
The Liverpool players’ hearts tightened. They immediately rushed over and quickly rushed to the referee. They discussed the situation with the referee to let Babel off the hook.
At this moment, Babel stood on the side with a very innocent expression.
“Mr. referee, this is a deliberate handball. It also ruin our Leeds United ‘s one-shot counterattack. It should be a red card. Mr. referee, it should be a red card!” On the sidelines, Albertini kept jumping, shouting, expressing his opinions, and even exerting pressure on the referee!
Leeds United are very passive now, if they can get someone sent off at this time. In that case, the feng shui of this match had changed. Leeds United would be able to relax a lot. It could not be said that they would even be able to turn the serfs around and sing!
The Leeds United players are putting pressure on the referee!
‘”This foul really didn’t go through my head. How could I foul like this? To be honest, just giving a red card like this is feasible. Babel is really too young, too reckless, too reckless! Now we’ll see how the referee punishes him.” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“Red card! Red card! Red card!” Cried the Leeds United fans neatly.
“To be honest, it should be a red card,” said Eddie Gray. “Babel is obviously trying to block the Leeds counterattack. It’s already very serious, it should definitely be a red card!”
Zhong Cheng wasn’t excited. They just sat quietly by the side and watched all of this calmly.
Today’s game is entirely up to Albertini. All of this needs to be handled by Albertini himself. He is a spectator here today, just to give some courage to the Leeds United players.
The referee was surrounded by Lyon players. The players of the two teams almost fought each other. The referee immediately separated the players of both teams and signaled the players of both sides to leave. Don’t be too troublesome!
The players on both sides walked away, but the captains of the two teams dawdled and were unwilling to walk away. They said their opinions to the referee word by word, striving for the best interests of their teams.
The referee furrowed his brows and waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave. Otherwise, he would have played his cards. Only then did the captains of the two teams slowly retreat, leaving only the two parties!
Babel immediately arrived in front of the referee and said, “Sir, I didn’t mean to play handball on purpose. I wanted to pull him, but I didn’t mean to. Sir, you have to learn from him!”
Sure enough, Babel was trying to excuse himself.
Zhong Zheng is very smart at this time. He doesn’t say anything at all. He just looks at the referee quietly and doesn’t cause any trouble for the referee. He seems to be saying that whatever you do, everything depends on your referee. No matter what you decide, I will accept it.
Babel, on the other hand, had been trying to justify himself, and even said that this was the trajectory of Zhong Zheng. He clearly wanted to pull Zhong Zheng, but this fellow deliberately stretched the football to her hand, so he simply couldn’t hold it back.
Babel stared at the referee innocently and began his offensive.
Unfortunately, the referee was not an idiot. He was not so easily deceived. Looking at Babel’s clumsy performance, the referee’s expression became uglier and uglier. This damned Dutchman actually dares to tease him like this. Does this daddy look like an idiot?
The referee’s expression was extremely ugly. He took out a red card from his butt pocket, lit it up and sent Babel off the field.
When he saw this red card, Babel was dumbfounded. How was this possible?
“Red card! It was indeed a red card! The referee sent Babel off the court. The situation on the court has changed and Leeds United’s chance has come!” Eddie Gray said excitedly.
