Chapter 175

It is a very good thing to have a fighting spirit and a strong desire to win on the court, but it is despised by people if it is manifested by dirty means.

Diego Costa is an angel in the eyes of the home team fans and a devil in the eyes of the away team fans, such a contradictory combination.

As long as he can help the team win, he can do everything.

Today, the two central players of Real Madrid are not known for their strong bodies, but on the contrary, Diego Costa happens to be a very strong forward.

And he also likes to seek this kind of confrontation. Even when attacking with the ball, he is used to leaning on the defensive player with his body and finding the angle of shooting.

When there is no ball at his feet, he will keep harassing the player with the ball.

For his opponents, Diego Costa is really annoying.

At this time, he is next to Li Chu, constantly harassing Li Chu.

Everyone knows that the connection between the midfield and backcourt of Real Madrid now mainly depends on Li Chu.

Since Li Chu teased Ramirez and deliberately retreated to the back line, Ramirez could not follow forward, so Li Chu's task of harassing in the backcourt was naturally handed over to Diego Costa.

Varane and Coentrao had already been a headache, and the evil star who had been playing for most of the game finally changed his target and targeted Li Chu.

But this was exactly what Li Chu wanted.

At this time, Coentrao held the ball and couldn't make up his mind whether to pass the ball to Li Chu. After all, Li Chu was closer to the back line now. If he passed it to Modric, it would be relatively far away and it would be easy to be intercepted by Ramirez and others who were watching closely.

Seeing Coentrao was a little hesitant.

De Bruyne on the side also rushed over directly, ready to press Coentrao. Li Chu pointed directly in front of his feet to Coentrao and pass the ball over.

Seeing that Li Chu took the initiative to ask Coentrao, he no longer hesitated and pushed the ball in front of Li Chu before De Bruyne kicked to block the angle of the pass.

Diego Costa saw someone pass the ball to Li Chu, and immediately squeezed over without hesitation. His 1.86-meter-tall, 84-kilogram body crushed Yassen and took the lead in the fight for the ball.

Li Chu had been paying attention to Diego Costa for a long time. As for how he wanted to use his body, Li Chu naturally knew clearly, after all, Li Chu already had Diego Costa's skills.

So he raised his arm in advance, and his elbow was very concealed to the outside position, but Diego Costa didn't notice this and bumped into it directly, and his chest hit the tip of Li Chu's elbow.

Suddenly, Diego Costa felt that half of his body was numb, and the whole person stopped there. Li Chu immediately picked up the ball and turned around and moved forward. Advance.

At this time, Diego Costa covered his chest and slowly lay down.

Li Chu didn't care about that and continued to advance with the ball. After all, he didn't have eyes behind his head.

At this time, Ramirez waved his hands to indicate that a player on the field was injured and wanted the referee to stop the game.

Li Chu saw Ramirez's action and slowed down his feet, which made Ramirez think that Li Chu was going to kick the ball out of bounds. As a result, Li Chu changed his rhythm and dribbled past Ramirez.

The referee hadn't blown the whistle yet. Li Chu would not stop his steps.

On the court, everything was subject to the referee's whistle.

The referee actually saw Diego Costa lying on the ground, but since there didn't seem to be any fierce fighting between the two just now, no foul was seen.

In addition, Diego Costa had a bad reputation. Everyone knew that he was a fierce and slightly dirty player. Compared with Li Chu, he was simply a white lotus.

The referee hesitated a little, holding the whistle in his mouth, and did not blow it in time. Who knows if Diego Costa saw the Real Madrid player and the attack was quite dangerous after passing him, so he deliberately lay down to pretend to be injured.

However, Chelsea's players were a little dissatisfied.

Fabregas rushed over, but failed to grab Li Chu's ball, and reached out to hug Li Chu.

Matic also came over and said to Li Chu: "Hey, brother, you shouldn't do this. Our players are injured, and you are still leading."

At this time, Li Chu kicked the ball out of the court, pretending to be very helpless and said to Matic and others: "Who knows if he is real or fake, I saw him looking for confrontation throughout the game, but he didn't suffer any loss. Just now he came to bump into me, and I didn't say anything."

What Li Chu said made sense, so Fabregas and others couldn't find an excuse to get angry.

At this time, Diego Costa, who was lying on the ground, raised his upper body, made an elbowing motion with his hand, and then pointed at Li Chu.

However, the referee saidI didn't see it at all, mainly because Li Chu did it too covertly.

The slow motion of the previous scene was played on the big screen at the home stadium of Real Madrid, and it was impossible to see any foul by Li Chu.

Because Li Chu just raised his elbow and waited for Diego Costa to hit him, without any elbow swinging, so from the perspective of several camera positions, it was not a foul at all.

As a result, the referee's opinion was to let Diego Costa go out for treatment with the team doctor and then resume the game.

Diego Costa didn't get to eat mutton but got into trouble and was directly expelled from the court. As soon as he left the court, he stood up and indicated that he was fine and could return to the game, but the referee turned a blind eye.

Because Diego Costa's action proved that he was acting just now, the referee didn't have a good impression, but Diego Costa didn't dare to lie outside for too long.

After all, Chelsea is still behind and needs to ensure the first place in the group.

He is now off the court, which has caused Chelsea to have a little advantage in attack just now, and now it is in a dilemma of playing one less player.

The ball was kicked out of bounds by Li Chu just now, so after throwing the ball out of bounds, Chasi had to return the ball to Real Madrid.

Schurrle reluctantly kicked the ball to Real Madrid's half.

After several passes, the ball was handed to Li Chu again.

Li Chu didn't want to launch an attack quickly at all. Now Real Madrid is leading by one goal and has the power of home court. Moreover, the team has a player like Ronaldo who has a very fast counterattack speed. There is no need to rush forward to attack.

Anyway, the referee saw Diego Costa asking to re-enter the field on the sidelines, and the game didn't agree immediately. Why not take advantage of the opponent's lack of one person in the frontcourt to pass the ball in the backcourt and waste some time. The less time, the more impatient the Chelsea players will be.

Therefore, Li Chu played a triangle pass between his two defenders without any hurry.
