Episode 【460】: When Drinking Cold Water Makes Your Teeth Choke

Red card!

Less than ten minutes into the first half, referee Martin Atkinson showed a red card to Leeds United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Oh my God! Is this true? Are you sure this is true? Red card, giving Leeds United a red card so early, I can't stand it anymore!" Eddie Gray exclaimed , very surprised.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were very angry, on purpose!

This damn guy Martin Atkinson must have done it on purpose, absolutely on purpose, and he had already planned it. Otherwise, this game would never be what it is now, absolutely not.

Leeds United fans really can't accept it.

"Black whistle! Black whistle! Damn black whistle! Damn you, Tamar!" The Leeds United fans at the scene cursed crazily.

Yes, I really can't accept it.

The Chelsea fans at the scene were very excited. They had started singing and dancing in the stands. This was really a God-given opportunity. Chelsea would definitely win this game.

Yes, a sure win!

Look at that, Leeds United's absolute core ace was sent off with a red card. Isn't this still a blessing for them?

The Chelsea fans immediately sang in unison and expressed their excitement in singing.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng immediately jumped up from the coaching bench, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted loudly: "Why? Why is this a red card? Why?"

Zhong Cheng was very dissatisfied and jumped right away.

Yes, Zhong Cheng is no longer as indifferent as before. This time he is really anxious.

Zhong Cheng really didn't expect this to be the case. Why did Martin Atkinson give Cristiano Ronaldo a red card? Why?

To be honest, Cristiano Ronaldo did commit a foul this time.

Cristiano Ronaldo did touch Ashley Cole's leg, but it was not serious. Cristiano Ronaldo's tackle brought Ashley Cole's leg, but it was nothing serious.

And Cristiano Ronaldo didn't do it on purpose, he rushed for the ball.

This should be a yellow card at most.

And just not long ago, didn't Chelsea's forward Didier Drogba have the same experience? When he was fighting for the ball in the frontcourt, he also tackled Leeds United defender Sami Khedira. But at that time, the referee Martin Atkinson did not show a red card at all, not even a yellow card!

So why give Cristiano Ronaldo a red card now?

This is what Zhong Cheng is most dissatisfied with. This Martin Atkinson really has double standards.

Zhong Cheng roared crazily on the sidelines: "What is your basis for penalty? What is your penalty standard? Why do the two teams have different standards?"

Zhong Cheng was very dissatisfied. This was completely aimed at Leeds United.

The Leeds United players at the scene surrounded Martin Atkinson, the referee of this game, and asked Martin Atkinson for an explanation.

Martin Atkinson drove the Leeds United players away with a dark face.

What else can this do? He has the final say in this game.

And he also had reason to show Cristiano Ronaldo a red card. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo really committed a foul.

The Leeds United players couldn't accept it, and Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't accept it even more.

Cristiano Ronaldo kept shaking his head there, his face ashen.

Cristiano Ronaldo really didn't expect that there would be such a farce in the battle of Tianwangshan in this game, damn Martin Atkinson.

Cristiano Ronaldo stared closely at Martin Atkinson. Martin Atkinson did not show weakness. He stared at Cristiano Ronaldo with his eyes expressionlessly and stretched out his right hand. Signaling Cristiano Ronaldo to exit.

"This penalty...if the scale is strict, there is no problem with Martin Atkinson showing a red card. Cristiano Ronaldo did commit a foul. But if Cristiano Ronaldo gets a red card this time, then Drogba did it before. It should also be a red card. Unfortunately, Drogba didn't even give a verbal warning that time, which is abnormal!" Eddie Gray said bluntly.

"This is indeed somewhat debatable, but Martin Atkinson must have thousands of reasons waiting for you. His red card is well-founded. We don't need to dwell too much on this red card. Let's look at the answer. Let’s play the next game, after all, the red card has been issued and no one can change it.” Mark Lawrenson said.

Mark Lawrenson is right, but Leeds United fans are furious and it's not fair.

"Now I think the players of Leeds United should stop arguing about anything. It is meaningless. The penalty has been awarded. They only have to play well in the next game and get into the next game." Mark Lawrenson said immediately.

"You fart!" Eddie Gray said in his heart.

However, Eddie Gray did not say it out loud. Some words really cannot be said casually.

Eddie Gray said on the surface: "Now that this has become an established fact, the Leeds United players must adjust their mentality and face the next game well. In the next game, perform well , gave Martin Atkinson a hard slap in the face. Even so, it’s still our Leeds United team that wins!”

The Leeds United players were dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.

The Leeds United players had no choice but to retreat. After all, it was still a game. Zhong Cheng, on the other hand, was furious on the sidelines, roaring and criticizing Martin Atkinson.

Without saying a word, Martin Atkinson ran directly in front of Zhong Cheng and gave Zhong Cheng a yellow card warning. If Zhong Cheng kept chattering, he would send Zhong Cheng to the stands.

What else can Zhong Cheng say? He returned to his seat with a gloomy face.

Now it's obvious that Zhong Cheng won't fall for Martin Atkinson's trap. Do you want to send me off? no way!

On the pitch, the game restarted, and Leeds United were a little flustered.

After all, Leeds United's absolute core Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off with a red card, which had a huge impact on them.

Zhong Cheng immediately asked Albertini to go up and remind the Leeds United players not to panic. At this time, they all came back to defend. Just stabilize the current situation and not concede the ball. Let’s talk about the rest after this time has passed.

The Leeds United players received instructions from the coaching staff and knew what to do.

Alexander Pato also moved from the forward position to the right midfielder position, and the formation changed to 4-1-3-1. The Leeds United players defended seriously, but they were still a little panicked. Cristiano Ronaldo's sending off had a great impact on them.

Chelsea people naturally attacked crazily at this time and besieged Leeds United.

Chelsea people know that this is a God-given opportunity. If they cannot seize the opportunity at this time, then Chelsea will really not be able to win this game.

"Here it comes, Chelsea's attack is coming!" Mark Lawrenson said nervously immediately.

On the wing, football still comes to the wing.

Yes, today Chelsea's offense all came from the wings. Midfielder Frank Lampard passed the ball forward, and the ball rolled to the feet of Malouda in front. Malouda pretended to cut in, and then suddenly made a pass. With a bang, the football flew quickly into the Leeds United penalty area.

In the penalty area, Drogba jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Danger, this time it is really dangerous, very dangerous.

Two minutes later, Chelsea made a comeback. Frank Lampard suddenly fired a heavy long-range shot from the front of the penalty area. The ball was blocked by Zhong Zheng.

Corner kick, Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity.

At this time, Chelsea players rushed into Leeds United's penalty area, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Leeds United.

At this moment, Chelsea player Ashley Cole in the corner kick quickly drove the football into the Leeds United penalty area. In the penalty area, John Terry and Alex made forward screens one after another, driving away the Leeds United defenders.

Drogba jumped up high, spotted the ball, and slammed the football into the Leeds United goal.

The speed of the ball is really fast, like lightning.

Zhong Zheng flew out immediately and his fingertips touched the football, but he was unable to prevent the goal from flying into the Leeds United goal.

One to zero, in the 23rd minute of the first half, Chelsea, playing at home, scored the first goal of the game, leading Leeds United.

The Chelsea fans at the scene were really excited. They were singing and dancing in the stands without stopping at all. They were all very, very excited, as if they had already won the game.

Ancelotti was not excited. He knew how powerful the Leeds United players were, so he reminded the Chelsea players that it was not the time to celebrate yet and they had to continue attacking.

Don't give Leeds United a chance to counterattack. Taking advantage of the opportunity now and scoring two more goals is the most practical thing.

The Chelsea players nodded immediately, nodded as quickly as possible, and then devoted themselves to the attack.

Attack, Chelsea's attack came again, surging like a tidal wave.

Side road, side road again. This time it's Salomon Kalu. This guy was very active today. After breaking through from the wing, he immediately cut inside and then pushed the football to the bottom line.

Ashley Cole rushed up, didn't stop the ball, and made a direct pass. The football flew quickly into the Leeds United penalty area. David Luiz and Drogba jumped up high in the middle of the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal.

With a bang, Drogba headed the ball towards the goal. But the football was saved by Zhong Zheng, and Malouda who followed up easily pushed the football into the empty goal.

Two to zero, Chelsea leads Leeds United by two goals.

All the Leeds United fans at the scene were silent. A feeling of despair surrounded them, and everyone was stunned.

The team is missing one player, and he is also an ace player. Now trailing 2-0 again, where will Leeds United go in the next game?
