Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 51: Flying Shovel and Red Card (First Update Guaranteed)

The Etihad Stadium is a quintessential English stadium.

A typical English stadium has the so-called four stands next to the playing area, with only one layer of advertising boards in the middle. The distance between the stands and the stadium is so close that it is impossible to even separate a separate area for the coaching bench and the bench, so the coaching bench and bench in most English stadiums are in the stands. The most famous one is Old Trafford.

In fact, the Etihad Stadium was originally called Manchester City Stadium.

From stadium to stadium, the difference in name also represents the difference in function and design structure of the stadium.

As the main venue for the Commonwealth Games, Manchester City Stadium has a track, which extends the distance between the stands and the stadium area.

After the Commonwealth Games, the stadium was renovated, eliminating the stands and the only track on the pitch, pushing the stands to the edge of the pitch, and turning it into a professional football stadium.

Such a change allows fans to watch the game at the closest distance and will also give fans a truly immersive feeling.

At the same time, English players also like to play in such stadiums because it allows them to feel that they are with the fans, and they like this feeling.

But now, this has become a fatal factor.

The Manchester City fan who broke out of the siege rushed into the stadium in one step.

Then he ran towards Chen Yingxiong in the middle of the court!

At this time, everyone realized that the first Manchester City fan was just a feint. He was responsible for attracting the attention of the police and creating an opening for his companions!

And all of this is exactly the tactics discussed in detail on those TV talk shows!

"Those damn bitches!" an angry Liverpool fan yelled.

But at this time, what's the use of scolding loudly?

What's more, the "bitches" can't even hear it...

※※※

In this game, Gerrard had strict restrictions on Chen Yingxiong's activity area. He would rather sacrifice part of Chen Yingxiong's tactical role than let Chen Yingxiong pull him to the wing. It is very dangerous to get too close to the stands, because Manchester City fans can easily reach him without any movement. .

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong can only move in the central area of ​​the stadium in this game.

This is what happens when Manchester City fans want to get close to Chen Yingxiong. He first has to cross half of the stadium, where he will meet Chen Yingxiong's "bodyguards" head-on.

Now, Gerrard's arrangement worked.

Liverpool winger Hoyle Eduardo, who was closest to the fan, did not expect the Manchester City fans to rush out so quickly and break through the police blockade so easily.

By the time he reacted, the other party had already rushed past him!

This is his defense zone!

If you let that damn bastard run away from you. Then he fights in front of the boss and becomes the sinner of Liverpool!

Hoyle Eduardo is 26 years old and also came from Liverpool’s youth training camp. When they were still in the reserve team, it was Chen Yingxiong who led them to the League Cup and FA Cup. He was able to enter the first team precisely because of his outstanding performance in the League Cup and FA Cup.

Therefore, Yingxiong is his supporter and leader on his career path, and Chen Yingxiong is very kind to him.

Even if it's not for the team. Just for Chen Yingxiong's sake, he wouldn't allow him to run away like this!

He started instantly and then chased the Manchester City fan!

※※※

Liverpool follows the tradition of English football. One thing is that it attaches great importance to the wing. One of the requirements for wing players is very important. That's speed. Wing players must have speed, because only with speed can they break through the opponent's defense and send a beautiful cross to Chen Yingxiong, allowing him to take advantage of his header.

So Hoyle Eduardo is very fast.

Despite this, because he started late, he felt that he had to catch up with the opponent completely. There are still risks, and the other party will change direction and act as a pursuer. This is even more difficult.

He doesn't want to put too much into the other person.

To ensure nothing goes wrong, he has only one choice!

Seeing that the gap between the two sides was shortening, it then shortened to a suitable distance. Hoyle Eduardo rushed forward suddenly and then made a standard flying tackle!

His spikes were firmly planted on the heels of the running Manchester City fans.

Then the other party staggered and fell to the ground!

At the same time, Hoyle Eduardo jumped up from the ground for the second time as if there was a spring on his butt. He pounced like a tiger on its prey and pinned the Manchester City fan firmly beneath him!

The pinned fan didn't even struggle and scream like his teammates.

Because he was stunned.

He hadn't figured out why he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground while running well...

※※※

There are many people like this Manchester City fan who still haven’t figured it out. There were Liverpool fans and Manchester City fans, as well as media reporters and commentators.

Everyone was stunned.

Even the referee was stunned. His whistle was delayed and the game continued. But at this time, no one was interested in the game. The football was kicked out of the sideline by the Liverpool players. Everyone turned to look at the two people on the ground.

It is very common for players to stop uninvited guests who break into the stadium, but it is very unusual for players to stop each other in this way.

"What happened..." The commentators stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.

At this moment, the police officers who had reacted finally ran up to him. Eduardo was still pressing on the other party, for fear that he would let this cunning bastard escape after he got up.

It wasn't until the police restrained the uninvited guest's hands and feet that he got up from the ground.

Finally, the other party was not allowed to get close to the boss.

Eduardo was filled with joy.

He was the first one on the team to do that and he was proud.

The teammates who responded also came up to pat him and hug him, celebrating this successful defense with him.

But their good mood did not last long.

Because the referee's whistle finally sounded, he ran in front of the Liverpool players. Hook gestured for Eduardo to come out.

Everyone thought this was to give Eduardo a verbal warning.

They felt that this was unreasonable. Eduardo helped maintain the order of the game and even a verbal warning should not be given.

But they didn't intend to conflict with the referee, so Eduardo stood up from the crowd.

Who knew that what was waiting for him was... a red card!

The referee held a red card in his raised arm! It was like a magic trick, and someone had paid special attention to his hands before. Found nothing there. When and where did he take it out?

※※※

"Red card?! Oh my God! It's a red card!!"

The narrator was also stunned.

Even those reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world did not expect such a result in the end.

Liverpool's players were stunned after seeing this scene, and then they became angry.

A group of people rushed to the referee and shouted at him: "Why give a red card? What rule did he break?"

The referee on duty for this game, Warner Rodney, was faced with a group of angry Liverpool players. He looked a little panicked, but he still tried hard to maintain his authority as a referee.

He explained to the group of players: "He attacked the fans!"

"What an attack! These are fans who invaded the stadium! They disrupted the normal order of the game!"

"Are you blind? Shouldn't the fans be held accountable?"

"The fans have a responsibility..." referee Rodney continued to explain, "but that is after the game. Now this is another matter..."

"You mean it, right? You mean it! Don't think we are all fools!"

"Why give a red card? It doesn't make sense! Take it back!"

Although the angry Liverpool players did not use their hands, they kept hitting the referee with their bodies.

Poor Rodney could only keep backing away from a group of angry men.

Then he remembered that he had a trump card!

He took out the yellow card and showed one, two, and three yellow cards to the Liverpool players who were rushing forward!

Then he shouted: "If you keep making trouble, it will be red next time!"

"damn you……"

Carlton Cole, who had already received a yellow card, was unable to curse out the foul language because his mouth was covered.

Then Chen Yingxiong's voice rang in his ear: "Don't besiege the referee. Be careful to give them an excuse!"

He turned to look at his captain in surprise.

In fact, after this red card appeared, what he was most worried about was Chen Yingxiong. He even has Chen Yingxiong's temper. In this situation, he will definitely get angry and will be the first to jump out to protect the interests of his teammates, even if he is punished for it. That's why he was able to get the heartfelt love from so many teammates. This has always been his goal.

But now Chen Yingxiong can't afford the cards. Maybe the other party gave this red card just to attract Chen Yingxiong and arouse his anger, and then...

In order to prevent Chen Yingxiong from rushing over, he became particularly angry and active, rushing to the front. The purpose was to prevent Chen Yingxiong from coming up to interfere.

He thought Chen Yingxiong should be very angry. Maybe at this time, two teammates were desperately trying to hold him back from joining the battle group.

Who would have thought that when he turned around, he would see Chen Yingxiong's angry but restrained expression.

And it was him who said these words. It also surprised Carlton Cole.

But he was also relieved.

At the very least, the boss didn’t give this damn referee a chance!

Chen Yingxiong pulled Cole behind him with a flick of his hand. Then, as if he was swimming, he pulled the angry teammates in front of him behind him one by one, and kept repeating: "Don't give it to the other party." A little chance."

Finally he came to the referee and Eduardo.

He patted Eduardo: "I'm sorry, Hoyle. I can only wrong you. But your sacrifice is not meaningless."

He said it calmly.

Although Eduardo's eyes were red from the sudden blow, he was in front of his boss. He still bit his lip and nodded vigorously.

He believed that the boss was not cold and heartless. Although the boss had not hinted it to him, he just believed it and believed it from the bottom of his heart. Because the boss has never let them down in the past, he believes that this time will be no exception!

After nodding to Chen Yingxiong, he endured tears and grievances, turned around and walked to the sideline very simply.

Then Chen Yingxiong turned around and walked away without anyone looking at the referee.

Rodney was like air, standing there blankly.

In fact, Cole guessed right. Rodney sent off Hoyle Eduardo with a red card, not because he wanted to send off a Liverpool player. His purpose was to anger Chen Yingxiong, as long as Chen Yingxiong came forward and dared to disrespect him. If you say anything, you can raise the red card in your hand again.

This is a task given to him privately by the Football Association.

He is actually just the FA's gun. But if he wants to be trained by the FA, he has to be the second James.

Although James offended Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong, he became the number one referee in England and has also refereed events such as the European Cup and World Cup finals. He had just retired.

He will become his successor.

He sometimes wonders why every top referee in England has to go against Chen Yingxiong...

But he was just thinking about it because there was no solution.

In fact, he is not willing to really send off multiple Liverpool players in one go, because it would go too far and make it difficult for him to escape accountability from public opinion, and too much pressure will cause the Football Association to temporarily freeze him. ——They dare not give up on themselves, because they know their discord.

Chen Yingxiong came forward to help him solve this problem, and he himself breathed a sigh of relief.

But the feeling of being nakedly ignored by Chen Yingxiong and that man Eduardo still made him somewhat unhappy.

He stared at Chen Yingxiong's back.

You'd better not have any leverage falling into my hands, Chen Yingxiong!
