Red Rebels

79 Let the red card fly

Whether it was live TV footage or viewed from the stands, no one knew the strength of Rooney's kick, and no one could see it clearly. After all, everyone's attention was focused on Park Ji-sung at the time. , so when the ball flew over, the referee had no way to dodge and was directly kicked in the waist.

Seeing the referee suddenly turn around, Rooney seemed to realize that he had caused a big disaster. After all, his move was obviously suspected of attacking the referee, even if his mentality at the time was just to kick Park Ji-sung. .

The referee ran up angrily, showed Rooney a yellow card, and then pulled out a red card. He sent the England striker off the field with two yellows and one red. He also pointed at Rooney's face and said, He will definitely write this matter into the game report, and he will wait until he accepts the additional penalty.

Rooney is also an irritable boy. He realized just now that he had caused trouble, but now that he was sent off by the referee and threatened him like this, he suddenly became angry and wanted to rush up and beat the referee, especially when he pointed The referee's angry scolding surprised everyone present.

Fortunately, Giggs was beside him at this time, holding him tightly, for fear that this kid would accidentally beat the referee. If it were someone else, he might not have the courage, but Rooney...

After a period of dispute, Rooney walked off the field cursing, but the tens of thousands of Red Rebel fans at the scene greeted the English boy with applause and cheers. Obviously, Rooney's end made them excited.

Rooney was already on fire, but being provoked by the fans at the scene seemed to add fuel to the fire. He immediately stretched out his right hand and raised his finger at the fans in the stands, asking them to shut up.

This provocative move caused all the Red Rebel fans at the scene to explode. Debris in the stands kept flying down like snowflakes. Obviously they hoped to bury Rooney with those tissues.

"Okay, this is really an unexpected game. All the elements that make fans interested are in place."

"There are wonderful shots of the Red Rebels suppressing and controlling the game, and also adding Kaka's goals again after more than a year's absence, and he either didn't score, or scored a hat trick when he scored, all three goals. Brilliant, and this game was full of excitement, a typical derby."

"If Scholes's red card made the game lose suspense, then Rooney's uncool behavior at the last moment added a few points and regrets to the game, especially the latter's last moment to the fans. By raising his finger, those who admire him will praise his straightforwardness, but those who hate him will think that he is trying to tamper with the Red Devils Derby. After all, such a game that attracts worldwide attention,

The appearance of such a scene will undoubtedly cause serious damage to the image of Rooney and Manchester United. "

"According to the recent code of conduct of the English League and the Football Association, Rooney's actions will undoubtedly bring him additional punishment, whether it is kicking the referee with the ball, or his subsequent actions of angrily chasing the referee, especially the last gesture of raising a finger at the fans. , all of which may subject him to an unprecedented hefty fine."

"Ferguson shook his head vigorously on the sidelines, his face looked very red, and he was probably furious in his heart. Maybe at this time he would consider giving Rooney a punch. After all, even if he lost this game, there are still many games to come. The Red Rebels still have to face many strong opponents. Manchester United still has a chance, but without Rooney, the leading striker, the situation will be even worse. The possibility of catching up and reversing the Red Rebels will be very low. lower”

"Perhaps Ferguson should teach Rooney a lesson at this time. It is a good thing to have blood and leaks, but you must be able to control it, otherwise impulsiveness and irritability will only lead to bad things. I think, in this regard, the Red Rebels' Captain Curtis Davis has done a great job. He is becoming more mature and stable, and has more and more general demeanor, and at only 5 years old, he is already one of the youngest captains in the UK."

While Andy Gray criticized Rooney's impulsiveness, he also promoted the captain of the Red Rebels, Curtis. However, in the latest England national team squad, Curtis, who has performed well in England this season, was Didn't make the cut.

The outside world has always had mixed reviews about Capello's national team roster. For example, among the current English defenders, John Terry is the most stable and reassuring, but Capello has always refused to entrust him with it. heavy responsibility, but put great trust in Mike Dawson and Ferdinand.

Although Crouch and Heskey each had their own shortcomings, Capello was still unwilling to recruit the Red Rebels' powerful forward Ismael. When he announced the squad, he explained that he would not recruit The reason for joining Ismail was that he was unable to play the absolute main role in the Red Rebels, which made him doubt Ismail's status.

In addition to Ismail, Michael Johnson, the best defensive midfielder in the Champions League group stage this season and a high-profile candidate for the Champions League best team, was also not selected. Capello’s explanation was also very unique, “Michael is a A great player but I don't think he's fit for the current England team"

However, in contrast, Gareth Barry and Huddlestone from Droyden were selected one after another. The styles of both players are controlling. From this point of view, Capello also realized that England There was a problem with the national team, but he still refused players from the Red Rebels. He stubbornly chose his own way.

However, everyone knows that on April, England will face Ukraine. This game will be Capello's key battle. If they cannot win Ukraine, England will almost announce its departure from the 2000 World Cup in South Africa.

After Rooney came off the field, the game had completely lost its suspense.

At 9, although the Red Rebels had all the advantages, in the last ten minutes of stoppage time, all nine Manchester United players retreated to defend in the penalty area. Although the Red Rebels attacked fiercely, they failed in the end. Score another goal.

:o, the Red Rebels defeated the visiting Manchester United at home with Kaka's hat trick.

After the game, Sky TV immediately rated the players on both sides of the game.

Kaka of the Red Rebels received the highest score in the game. Comments believed that Kaka played the best game of his career in this game, scoring three goals, helping his teammates create opportunities many times, and even If the teammates were just a little better at seizing opportunities, this would have been a massacre.

The players of the Red Rebels generally scored well, with basically all scoring above 6 points. The one with the lowest score was goalkeeper Petr Cech, with only 6 points. The reviewers believed that he had no performance at all.

The most outstanding player on Manchester United is Rene Adler. This German goalkeeper who played for the Red Rebels last season has really proven his strength to the world again this season, and this game He also made many wonderful saves in the game. If he hadn't turned the tide many times, Manchester United would have suffered a huge defeat.

Manchester United's worst performance in the game was Scholes, who only had points, but more because he was sent off with a red card less than ten minutes into the game. This was also hailed as the turning point in the defeat of this season.

Rooney, another one who received a red card, scored 5 points. Comments believed that although he acted irrationally at the last moment, his performance throughout the game was still very solid, especially in assisting defense. Being irrational all the time, he should be one of the best players on the team after Adler and Fletcher.

As for Rooney's series of actions in the final moments of the game, the media generally believed that he would be severely punished by the Football Association. After all, such actions would greatly damage the image of England.

Today's English football team pays attention to their image at all times, combating violence on the field, improving the team's operating environment, strictly supervising the stadium's software and hardware facilities, etc., all of which have corresponding regulations.

Rooney's actions violated these regulations of the Football Association and are bound to be severely punished. Even Manchester United may be fined.

On the contrary, at the press conference after the game, Ferguson took the initiative to excuse Rooney.

"I don't think he was kicking the referee. I know Wayne. He would never attack the referee deliberately. I believe he just wanted to kick the ball to the free kick spot and urge a free throw as soon as possible. In order to return to the game as soon as possible.”

"What? No evidence? No, no, no, you can look at the game video anytime, anywhere, and you will find that Wayne wanted to kick the ball to the place where the free kick happened. He wanted to resume the game as soon as possible. Unfortunately, What's wrong is that he accidentally kicked the referee, are we going to blame him for that?"

Obviously, Ferguson was deliberately trying to downplay the impact of Rooney kicking the referee, and try to divert the incident in a minor direction, for example, making everyone think that Rooney was not attacking the referee, but kicking the ball. Give it to Michael Johnson and ask him to take a free kick quickly.

Intentional and unintentional are two completely different concepts, and the penalties that these two attitudes may encounter are also completely different. The former may even implicate Manchester United, but the latter is likely to be just a symbolic penalty. Game suspension.

Rooney's importance to today's Manchester United does not need to be said at all. If he faces a multi-game suspension and heavy fines, it will be really difficult for Manchester United to catch up with the Red Rebels. That's why Ferguson has to do everything possible to provide Rooney with a ban. absolve.

As for this game, Ferguson has repeatedly stated that everyone at Manchester United has tried their best in this game.

"I'm disappointed with our performance in the first half, but I have to make it clear that we lost this game before we even started to get into the game."

Ferguson's meaning was very clear. Scholes' red card directly killed the game. According to his words, he believed that it should be a penalty plus a yellow card, and there was no need to directly show the red card.

Of course, there is no problem with the referee's penalty. It's just that the referee's enforcement standards are different. Some people are softer and some are harder. No one can make a mistake.

"The Red Rebels were very active and played very directly. We were passive from the beginning of the game, but we did a good job defensively, but after the red card in the first half, the situation declined sharply. , and ultimately we suffered an embarrassing defeat.”

"To be fair, they really deserved to win this game, but we performed very well in the second half, but we were already behind at that time and the players were under tremendous pressure. This was unlucky. In the end, I didn’t get another chance to change the game.”

"I think we should thank Rene Adler. It was his wonderful performance that allowed us to only trail by one goal in the first half. He made a lot of great saves. He can be said to be our biggest performance this season. But unfortunately, he is only one person, so he cannot prevent the team from defeating, but it is not his responsibility to score a goal."

"I have always told my players that they have to stay calm and 100 percent focused against the Red Rebels, but some players were not good enough at these two points and it cost us an important game. , in a season’s competition for the Premier League, losses in March and April often pay a higher and more painful price than at any other time.”

"I don't think we have lost this season, and I don't think the Red Rebels have already booked the English championship this season after this game. After all, they are only one point ahead of us, and there are still 8 rounds in the league. , the Red Rebels still have many key games to play. They welcome Liverpool at home, challenge Chelsea away, face Everton at home, and challenge Manchester City away. These are all tough battles. We still have a chance, as long as we win all the next ones. The pressure is on the Red Rebels' side during the game."

"At this time, the international match week is ushered in, which is a very suitable buffer period for us. We and our players can use this buffer period to adjust their state and psychology to be better prepared to go. Going into the upcoming schedule, I still believe that Manchester United is still one of the most powerful contenders for the British championship this season."

The international match week that Ferguson mentioned is after the O round. England will usher in a two-week break. The England national team will gather at the Colney training base in London to fully prepare for the upcoming warm-up match with Slovakia. And the crucial battle with Ukraine follows.

Since Capello took charge of England, with the completion of Wembley Stadium, the national team's home games have also been arranged at Wembley Stadium, and the training base has been arranged at Arsenal's Colney training base, far away from the Red Rebels. The Army Stadium and Newton Heath training base are two blessed places.

But judging from the results in the World Cup qualifiers, Capello's luck is obviously not good.

Everyone knows that this game against Ukraine will be Capello's last chance. If he cannot win against his opponent, England's chance of qualifying will be almost zero. By then, his dismissal will be inevitable, and the British media are also saying that now Ichiban originally supported Capello, but now the anti-Capello faction has completely gained the upper hand.
