Chapter 1059: This Is a Penalty Kick!
The referee was surrounded by players from both sides and even looked a little embarrassed. He was relieved when he saw Salah being carried off the field.
The next step is to rule on the foul just now.
The referee called Lichtsteiner and Nainggolan to his side and showed each of them a yellow card. This was punishment for the conflict between the two of them just now.
He then pointed in the direction of the goal - awarding a goal kick to Juventus.
"What's happening here?!"
All Manchester United players quit! They surrounded the referee and continued to ask for an explanation.
Nainggolan shouted: "This is a penalty! Lichtsteiner pulled people from behind and destroyed our absolute chance to score. This is a penalty!"
The referee pointed at Nainggolan with a serious look on his face: "Do you still want to get a yellow card?"
Manchester United captain Van Dijk pulled Nainggolan away, asked him to step aside, and then personally communicated with the referee: "It was Lichtsteiner who pulled Salah down just now, Lichtsteiner pulled down Salah. The movement of his hand is very obvious, this is definitely a penalty kick!"
The referee remained unmoved: "My penalty is accurate. Get out of the way and don't affect the restart of the game! If you are obstructing me, then you should get a card!"
The Manchester United players continued to fight unwillingly, but the referee showed no mercy and once again gave De Bruyne a yellow card for arguing.
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Van Dyke pulled away from his teammates. He asked everyone to stay calm and not to suffer any more unnecessary losses.
At this time, Jin Taige on the sidelines was not even willing to defend again. He looked at the fourth official with a sneer, and the fourth official felt cold all over.
Phelan was still complaining angrily, and Scholes was frowning.
Jin Taige looked at them and said coldly: "This small misjudgment is nothing, at least compared to Juventus' previous opponents, it is a drop in the bucket. They faced the misjudgments of Basel and Liverpool and directly Ruining the promotion path of two teams is called cruelty!"
The game restarted and Sane came on the scene, replacing the injured Salah who had left the field.
After this dispute, the momentum of Manchester United players has obviously weakened a lot. Many players are still immersed in the misjudgment just now and feel unhappy. After Juventus escaped by chance, their offense became more fierce, and they almost broke through Manchester United's goal twice in a row.
Now that the game has entered the 80th minute, Juventus is even more eager to score.
During an attack, Dybala's continuous dribblings broke into the penalty area, making Manchester United's defense tremble.
"Although the game was almost over, Dybala still had plenty of energy and was swerving left and right in the Manchester United penalty area!"
"Dybala suddenly made a cross to the center! Mandzukic's chance! Coulibaly extended a kick in advance and poked the ball out of the penalty area! Coulibaly made a contribution!"
"Wait a minute! The referee actually stopped the game! Was there a foul just now?"
"The referee actually pointed to the penalty spot!!! He also gave Coulibaly a red card!"
At this time, Trick and Nori in the live broadcast room couldn't believe their eyes!
"What happened just now? Why was a penalty awarded? Why did Koulibaly get a red card?"
At this time, the Manchester United players were stunned, they had no idea what was happening.
Coulibaly spread his hands and looked at the referee with innocent eyes, asking him what happened and whether he made a mistake somewhere? But the referee spoke very firmly and gestured. What he meant was that Coulibaly had just committed a tackle foul and tackled Mandzukic, so he received a red card and a penalty kick.
Manchester United players are in shock!
Alonso was so angry that he rushed up and shouted: "The ball just now was not a foul at all! Koulibaly did not touch Mandzukic! How could it be a penalty kick! How could it be a red card!"
Koulibaly also pointed at Mandzukic with great grievance and complained to the referee: "I just touched the ball, not Mandzukic at all! We didn't even have physical contact! He didn't even show any signs of being violated!" "
Let alone a Manchester United player.
Even the Juventus players seemed a little confused.
Mandzukic knew very well that Coulibaly's defensive action just now was very simple and did not touch him at all.
Mandzukic opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
Now that the team is two goals behind, this penalty kick is crucial. As for other things, it's not that important...
At this time, Van Dijk had already pulled away from his teammates. He suppressed his anger and said to everyone: "Guys, this referee is obviously against us. We can't take any more cards!"
The anger of the Manchester United players gradually subsided, but on the sidelines of the court, Jin Taige's anger could no longer be suppressed. He did not yell loudly, but stared at the fourth official expressionlessly, which made the fourth official hairy.
"Coach Tiger, the referee's decision just now, well, there must be some reason for it. I hope you can understand..."
Kim Tiger's voice was low, and his words were so heavy that it was chilling: "That ball just now was not a penalty kick at all! Koulibaly didn't even touch Mandzukic! A penalty plus a red card? Hmm, that's interesting."
Jin Taige did not yell loudly, but standing opposite him, the young fourth official felt cold all over and felt very uncomfortable.
Is this the intimidation of the seven-time champion coach?
At this time, not far away, Allegri did not even dare to look in the direction of Jintige.
Allegri could clearly hear Jintiger's accusations against the fourth official and his cold words here, and like a mirror in his mind, the ball just now was definitely not a penalty kick! Not to mention a red card.
But, well, this has happened more than once this season, so just get used to it.
Besides, as long as you can score goals, win games, advance to the semi-finals or even win the cup, who will remember these so-called misjudgments?
At this time, the two commentators in the BT Sport live broadcast room were also very confused and even angry.
Macho Nori is criticizing the referee loudly.
"If it weren't for my role as a commentator, I would definitely start cursing right now!"
"What kind of bullshit penalty is this! All of us can clearly see that Koulibaly's tackle was very clean and there was no problem at all! Even if it were to be decided by a middle school league referee, he would never make the decision. Give a penalty kick! And also add a red card!”
Trick on the side also frowned: "If the referee's penalty scale is strict, then what about Manchester United's penalty just now? If this ball can be awarded a penalty kick, then the ball just now should even give Manchester United three points. Ball! That’s only fair!”
