Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 48: "The Enemy Loses, I Take Off My Clothes!"
ps, the fourth update is here, please give me a monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass!
※※※
Chen Yingxiong was so excited that he took off his clothes to celebrate the goal, but forgot that he had already received a yellow card before... and his teammates and head coach were also very excited, so no one thought about it, and Remind him - but to be honest, he has already taken off his clothes, so even reminding him is of no use.
Everton's players did not remind the referee. They were still annoyed and frustrated by conceding the ball at the last moment and could not think about other things.
But the referee will never forget it. He is the calmest person in the stadium at this moment.
While Liverpool's players had been gathering together to celebrate the goal, the referee had been standing on the outside of the crowd with his hands behind his back.
Then after the Liverpool players celebrated the goal and dispersed, he walked up to Chen Yingxiong, holding a yellow card and a red card in his hand.
Chen Yingxiong suddenly reacted...
Did I take off my clothes to celebrate?
Holy shit!
The referee said to Chen Yingxiong with a smile: "The goal is beautiful, hero. But... the rules are the rules."
After speaking, he raised the yellow card in his hand.
Then he put down the yellow card and then raised the red card!
Two yellows turn one red!
Chen Yingxiong was sent off with a red card!
※※※
"Ah... let's see what happened on the field! The hero was sent off? Yes, he got a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate, and before that, he already had a yellow card when he clashed with Howard Got it!"
"What is 'extreme joy begets sorrow'? This is called 'extreme joy begets sorrow'! The hero just beat Everton, but because he took off his clothes to celebrate, the referee showed him a second yellow card and was sent off with a red card!"
"Looking at the shocked expression on the hero's face, even though I know this is bad, why do I just want to laugh? Hahaha!"
Martin O'Neill also reacted. He immediately jumped up and roared loudly: "This is too rigid!!"
He was cursing the referee.
Other Liverpool players who were running back also discovered this and quickly turned back to ask the referee for mercy.
"Be merciful, sir!"
But the referee has made up his mind.
Chen Yingxiong didn't go up to plead for mercy because he couldn't pull that face off...
In the end, he walked off the court helplessly.
Anyway, at this time, Liverpool is already leading Everton 3:2. In the next injury time, as long as they defend with all their strength, they should have no problem holding on to this lead.
※※※
There are also different opinions on the Chinese Internet about Chen Yingxiong being sent off with a red card for such a happy reason.
"Ahahaha! The hero made another mistake!" This is the schadenfreude type. "Didn't he remember that he had a yellow card before he took off his clothes?"
"Holy crap! What kind of a** referee is this? Do you have to issue a yellow card to ruin the atmosphere when you are so happy!**! Black whistle!" This is the Angry Emperor.
"Although FIFA does stipulate that a yellow card should be shown when taking off clothes to celebrate, but I think the referee should decide according to the situation. It is not necessary to show a yellow card every time when taking off clothes to celebrate... The hero finally beat Everton, and then It was in the Merseyside derby, what a great moment! Can't we be merciful? The referee who doesn't know how to adapt is not a good referee!" This is the professional analyst.
"The hero was sent off with a red card. This will definitely have an impact on Liverpool's match against Arsenal... Liverpool will not be easy to play in the next round of the league..." This is Emperor Yuan.

In any case, it is certain that Chen Yingxiong will be sent off with a red card.
Martin O'Neal immediately calmed down after shouting a few curses on the sidelines.
He knew that this was not the time to just complain about the referee. If the game included injury time, there would probably be four minutes left. Anything could happen in these four minutes.
He had to do something.
He then replaced Sanchez with centre-back Carragher. At the same time, Carragher also brought his latest instructions after coming on the field.
The whole line returns to defense, and even Suarez has to retreat to the front of the penalty area to defend.
Liverpool completely gave up attacking in the away game and clung to the 30-meter zone.
As long as Liverpool can hold on for four minutes, they will win their 218th Merseyside derby.
Chen Yingxiong didn't really go back to the locker room. He stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel and looked nervously at the court.
Because he was sent off, Liverpool fell into a passive position. He could not mindlessly go to the locker room to take a shower, and then wait to celebrate the victory with his teammates.
If he was on the court, Everton would have no chance of making a comeback in this situation. As long as he was at the front, Everton's entire defense would be unable to move.
But things are different now...
He was still a little nervous. It would be a shame if all your efforts were wasted because of a red card in the end.
※※※
Fortunately, the entire Liverpool team was united in the last four minutes and used their bodies to block Everton's fierce offensive like an eye-catcher.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Liverpool's players hugged each other excitedly, feeling as if they had won the league championship.
But in fact this is just a Merseyside derby.
After the game, Martin O'Neill criticized the referee's behavior at the press conference.
"I think the second yellow card given by the referee is unnecessary! Even if the rules stipulate that a yellow card should be given when stripping off to celebrate, please look at the situation at the time and understand a player's excitement after winning a game against his opponent. I think A verbal warning is enough!"
A reporter asked whether the club would appeal.
Martin O'Neill also nodded without hesitation: "Yes! We will definitely appeal! Because we think the referee's decision is unreasonable!"
In fact, many people think Martin O'Neill's reaction was a bit excessive. Although everyone felt that the referee was making a fuss out of a molehill, there were rules to support it after all. If Martin O'Neill wants to appeal, I'm afraid it will be an even bigger fuss...
Such appeals will most likely lead to no good outcome.
So why did he do this?
Martin O'Neill himself also knew that this red card was not worth appealing. But he had to appeal, even though he knew that the red card would definitely not be cancelled. Moreover, it will also delay the match between Chen Yingxiong and Arsenal. Previously, the analysts among Chinese netizens obviously only cared about the Premier League and did not care about the English League Cup. Before the next round of the league match between Liverpool and Arsenal at home, there is another League Cup matches.
The suspension penalty in English football applies to any game, that is to say, if you receive a red card in the league, if the next game is the League Cup or FA Cup, you will also be suspended, not just the league.
This red card will cause Chen Yingxiong to be suspended for one game and will miss the next League Cup game.
If Chen Yingxiong and the club do not appeal, they will be automatically suspended. Then he returned in the league home game against Arsenal.
But if the club appeals, then Chen Yingxiong can play in the League Cup. Then after the League Cup, the results page of the English FA Disciplinary Committee comes down, and Chen Yingxiong has to be suspended. Then the suspension with Arsenal will be field……
Which is more important, the League Cup or the League? Of course it’s the league!
If Martin O'Neill wants to appeal, he will have to sacrifice the game against Arsenal. Although without Chen Yingxiong, Liverpool may not lose to Arsenal at home, but with Chen Yingxiong, the insurance factor of winning will be greater, which is also a fact.
He did this because this matter was a good opportunity for him to express his position. Why did Dalglish let Chen Yingxiong work for him wholeheartedly? It was because Dalglish was always unswerving in many controversial times. Standing beside Chen Yingxiong. Looking back at all the news last season, you will definitely not find any news about Dalglish criticizing or opposing Chen Yingxiong. All of them were Dalglish's unconditional support for Chen Yingxiong.
Martin O'Neill has been lacking such opportunities since he took charge of Liverpool. Now that the opportunity finally came to his door, he would be a fool if he didn't know how to take advantage of it.
The game against Arsenal may be lost. But that's nothing. The league has only started two and a half months, and Liverpool has only lost one game. Another loss will not affect the final league ranking. Liverpool can still afford to lose.
At the expense of this, the relationship between himself and Chen Yingxiong has been further improved. In the future, the generals will be of the same mind, which is a real good thing for the team.
If Martin O'Neill wants to stay in Liverpool for a few more years and achieve results, Chen Yingxiong is definitely the person who must have a good relationship with him.

Chen Yingxiong also felt unjust for being sent off with a red card.
He didn't go to the referee to plead with him because he couldn't be ashamed, but after the game he still criticized...the rules. He did not criticize the referee because of Vera. His press officer told him that he had already received a red card and it was best not to cause trouble again. If he criticized the referee, he would definitely be punished. After the game, Vera immediately Call Chen Yingxiong, because as Chen Yingxiong's press officer, she is already very familiar with Chen Yingxiong's temper. When encountering such a thing, his big mouth will definitely spit something out. If she doesn't call in time Warning, maybe Chen Yingxiong will really say something he shouldn't say...
Vera suggested that he change his strategy and attack the rules so that he could win the support of public opinion and the Football Association and the Referee Committee would not point the finger at him.
Chen Yingxiong is good at what he does. He also knows what impact it will have on Liverpool if he is absent for a long time...
"...FIFA's rule is to take off your clothes to celebrate and get a yellow card. I can't understand why you have to do this? Did I bother anyone by taking off my clothes to celebrate? Or is it because my muscles make the fat bosses at FIFA jealous? ?" Chen Yingxiong shrugged and curled his lips, "Anyway, I can't figure it out."
Chen Yingxiong scolded FIFA not only because he was sent off with a red card because of this bullshit rule, but the relationship between him and FIFA had already been formed after that award ceremony.
So it's the accumulated hatred.
His words also caused a big discussion in the British and Chinese media about FIFA's rule of giving yellow cards to people who take off their clothes to celebrate. Many people think it is unreasonable and hope that FIFA will cancel this rule.
FIFA's response to this is: "Rules are rules, and any good player must abide by the rules. I think heroes should learn to respect the rules and play reasonably under the rules."
Chen Yingxiong was very disdainful of FIFA's explanation: "Those who manipulate the rules have no right to talk to me about respecting the rules!"
Just as Chen Yingxiong caused a war of words with FIFA, Liverpool Club also officially made an appeal decision on Chen Yingxiong's red card. The Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association of England has officially accepted the case. In this case, Chen Yingxiong can play in the fourth round of the League Cup against Cardiff City on the 25th, but the next game against Arsenal... that is hard to say.
