Chapter 370: Volume 3: The Red Forest Whom the Red Card Is For (Part 2)
"This is a penalty... Ah! It's too dramatic!" The commentator temporarily changed his words, because he didn't point his hand to the penalty spot after seeing the referee whistle, but ran to Anelka who was lying on the ground , while putting his hands in his breast pockets...
Tang En stood on the sidelines with his mouth wide open, he could hardly believe his eyes.
After a brief silence in the stands, there were sudden shrill boos.
Originally, the Forest players rushed towards Anelka to hug and celebrate with him, but instead rushed towards the referee halfway.
Anelka even jumped up from the ground when he saw the referee stretching his hand into his breast pocket. He rushed to the front of the referee immediately, grabbed the referee's hand, and wanted to press the yellow corner Back pocket.
"I didn't flop! It was their foul! Foul!" He argued with wide-eyed eyes, and the French striker, who was usually cold and aloof on the field, suddenly became emotional. "I'm not flopping! I'm fucking..."
He knows what it means to ask the referee to stick his hand out. But can he just stop the referee like this?
The referee took a step back suddenly, broke free from Anelka's hands, took his hands out of his breast pocket with a straight face, a yellow card!
"This is Anelka's second yellow card of the game!"
Forest players surrounded the referee one after another, trying to prevent him from lifting another color sign. Anelka was stunned for a second, and suddenly wanted to rush into the crowd in a frenzy. But he was hugged tightly by two French compatriots Ribery and Zimbunda. They didn't know what would happen when Anelka rushed in, but seeing his ferocious face now is really scary...
"I'm not a flop! I'm not! I'm not a fucking flop!" Anelka, who was hugged tightly, shouted loudly outside the crowd, but he couldn't change anything.
An arm was raised in the crowd, and at the top was a red sign, bright red, brighter than the Forest team's jersey.
Everyone looked up at the red card, including Anelka.
When he saw the red card, he suddenly stopped his unnecessary yelling and fell silent.
"Red card! Leave!"
Franck Ribery and Zimbonda felt that Anelka who was holding him suddenly stopped struggling, and slowly let go of their hands, but they still kept close to their sides, just in case.
Anelka suddenly smirked, then turned and walked off the court.
The boos above the city stadium were deafening, and there was no sound other than boos.

Twain angrily grabbed the fourth official from the sidelines, and the game supervisor, England Golden Whistle Ball, roared like an angry lion: "Look at the monitor! Look at the big screen! Which eye does the referee see? Anelka diving?! The one below!"
"Mr. Tang En, please pay attention to your words..." Boer warned.
"How do I pay attention? How do you want me to pay attention? My player has been wronged, and you want me to pay attention to my words? Yes...you have this power." Tang En nodded, and then pointed at the main player on the field The referee, "Then where the hell can I go to remind that bastard to pay attention to his penalty! Mr. Ball, you are the golden whistle, look at the game monitor, look! Is this a flop!"
Bohr shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Twain. Perhaps this was a misjudgment, but the referee cannot make a judgment based on the images broadcast on TV. This is the rule of FIFA..."
"Fuck the rules!" Dunn waved his fist, turned around and returned to the coach's bench.
Boer looked at Tang En's angry back and shook his head helplessly. It is not the first time he has dealt with this head coach, and he knows that he is a little outspoken when he gets emotional. He thought about it, but still didn't write this matter into the game report. The penalty just now was indeed a misjudgment. Anelka's breakthrough was no problem. The Nigerian turned around slowly and hooked the French striker with his kick.
It's just a pity that Johansen, the referee on duty for this game, is still too young and has little experience in law enforcement in Premier League games. Even if the penalty for diving is good, there is no need to show a yellow card... This is really wrong.
He turned his head to look above the grandstand. In places he doesn't know, there will be two referee committee supervisors who are responsible for scoring the referee's performance in each game. Those with low scores will be ordered to stop law enforcement at the Premier League level, which will affect their income, Application and assessment of international referee qualifications.

"Anelka was sent off with a red card, which means that he will not be able to go to Highbury with the team in the next round of the league." The commentator shook his head and said, "Judging from the replay, this is indeed a misjudgment. Previously only Referee Stephen Johansen, who has experience in seven Premier League games, made a mistake in this tense game... It's such a pity, because of a young referee's mistake, the game between Anelka and Arsenal was wiped out Over the shoulder. It's not unreasonable for Coach Twain to be furious on the sidelines. His team's main striker, the team's top scorer, and the core of the offense will miss the next important game against Arsenal, just because of a misjudgment!"

Being treated unfairly by the referee, the forest team with one less player exploded with stronger attack power. In the final stage of the game, the forest team won a direct free kick in the front court. Arteta took the penalty and sent football to the goal. Into Everton's goal, the Forest team finally defeated Everton 2:1 at the last minute.
At the post-match press conference, the referee's penalty became the focus of everyone's attention. Tang En naturally didn't miss this opportunity. Even though his team won the game, he still severely reprimanded the young referee for his performance.
"...Yes, it is stipulated in the referee's charter that diving should be severely punished and a yellow card warning should be shown for diving. But I would like to ask Mr. Stephen Johnson, are you sure you saw Anelka diving? Rules It's for you to fight real cheaters, not for you to show off your authority in front of the players!"
"We will sort out the video of this game and then appeal to the league committee."

The next morning, the Forest team really submitted the game video and appeal materials to the league committee. But given England's bureaucratic style, with two days left before the match against Arsenal, no one knows whether Anelka will be able to appear at Highbury...
