Chapter 566 Foul tactics

Football matches are among men's sports that can best release the beauty of male power on the court.

But many times, football matches become very intense, and the process can even be compared to men's aggressive war behavior.

Less than three minutes into the second half of this Champions League group match at Anfield, it became unexpectedly explosive. In less than 200 seconds, referee Kashay had already called six fouls.

Moreover, five of these fouls came from the Miners, but despite this, they did not make the players of the Miners restrain themselves.

Klopp frowned on the sidelines. He obviously did not expect that the opponent's head coach would make such a tactical arrangement.

Liverpool's three forwards were "warmly entertained" by Shakhtar's defender from the very beginning, and Li Qing became the focus of attention from the opponent's captain Stepanenko.

But Li Qing was not affected in any way. He used his talent as a dribbling master to calmly get rid of Stepanenko's entanglement and passed a through ball to Salah.

Salah caught the ball and turned around, preparing to pounce forward, but before he could start running, the opponent's defender Butke knocked him directly to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded sharply, but he did not take out the card, but only signaled Liverpool to advance. Free kick.

In response to the referee's decision, boos broke out in the stands of the Liverpool Stadium. Liverpool fans directly booed and rushed to the referee to express their dissatisfaction.

At his home court, the away team committed six consecutive fouls, and the referee actually did not call a card for any of the fouls. Anyone who suppressed the visiting team's players would feel dissatisfied.

In football matches, generally speaking, the referee will usually take care of the home team to some extent. However, now the referee on the field not only fails to take care of the home team, but actually aggravates the visiting team's temper. The situation on the field is showing signs of changing.

At this moment, Stepanenko, the captain of the Shakhtar team, was pinched and stole the ball in front of Henderson.

As a member of the Ukrainian national team, Stepanenko is a defensive midfielder, but his ability to handle the ball is very good and he is also very capable of scoring. As the captain of the club team, he has always been the team's offensive player in the game. the initiator.

In the first half, it was Stepanenko's assist that caused Liverpool to concede the goal, so Henderson, who lost the ball, immediately went up to defend.

But Stepanenko didn't bother with Henderson at all and directly passed the ball to Tyson who came to respond.

After Tyson caught the ball, Arnold subconsciously leaned forward. Tyson, who was 1.72 meters tall, looked very thin in front of Arnold, but the Brazilian player was very flexible and turned around quickly. Exclamations.

But Li Qing didn't let the exclamation last long. He immediately chased after him and pushed Tyson to the sideline. Tyson, who was short and thin, couldn't take any advantage in front of Li Qing, which made him think that Ao's speed was also eaten alive by Li Qing.

Soon Li Qing used his body and speed to squeeze Tyson behind him, and then quickly passed the ball across to the defender. Tyson was a little annoyed and signaled to the referee that Li Qing had just pushed him during the confrontation, but the referee ignored him at all. .

Li Qing gave Tyson a contemptuous look. He had just defended reasonably, but this guy actually tried to influence the referee. He really thought this was their home court.

At this time, Liverpool began to counterattack. Mane received a pass from the backcourt and quickly approached the left side of the opponent's penalty area. However, a defender and midfielder from the opponent's team had already formed a double-team on him. Mane could not cut inside and could only pass the ball first. Hold still and wait for your teammates to come to support you.

But there was another person beside Mane at this time. Maicon came behind Mane and directly stretched out his foot to grab the ball. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but kicked Mane's right foot during the grab.

"Ah..." Mane screamed and fell to the ground. At the same time, Maicon hooked the ball and was about to pass the ball. The referee's whistle sounded, foul!

"Are you kidding!" Maicon was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and yelled directly at the referee, but even so, the referee only gave Maicon a verbal warning.

On the edge of the court, Klopp's frown deepened. Li Qing ran over and pulled Mane up. "How are you? Is your foot okay?"

Mane stood up and jumped, barely shaking his head, "It's okay."

Li Qing's brows also furrowed. He looked back at the opposing players who had already taken their positions and narrowed his eyes.

The opponent is planning to strictly guard against the tactics of defense and fouling, trying to maintain the tie, and then wait for opportunities to sneak attacks.

It has to be said that this tactic was very destructive to Liverpool's players in this weather. Fifteen minutes into the second half, the score between the two sides remained at one-to-one, and no one was able to break the deadlock again.

Liverpool's offense had no effect at all due to the opponent's foul tactics. The busiest person on the court became the referee, and sharp whistles sounded almost continuously on the court.

Fouls, frequent fouls, as long as the Liverpool players get the ball, the Shakhtar team will immediately foul the Liverpool players, which makes the game that should be exciting become unwatchable.

The fans in the stands could only see players from both sides falling to the ground, and the players gradually turned into barbarians. In this game atmosphere, only Li Qing was not affected.

But when Li Qing successfully intercepted the opponent's ball once and then quickly rushed towards the opponent's court with the ball, something unexpected happened to him.

The players of the Shakhtar team actually reached out and pushed Li Qing to the ground while defending.

Li Qing, who was rushing at high speed at that time, lost his balance instantly, fell hard, and slid a long way on the lawn before stopping.

"Shit!"

This foul finally aroused the public outrage of Liverpool players. Firmino and Wijnaldum, who were closest, immediately rushed up and questioned the fouling opponent, and the players of the Shakhtar team, not to be outdone, surrounded him.

The scene instantly became chaotic, and the referee's whistle sounded sharply again, but this time no one cared about the referee's whistle.

The referee has not issued a card in the second half so far, and most of the fouls occurred on the visiting team, which made Liverpool players very annoyed.

"Beep..."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the referee Kassai finally took out the first yellow card of the game, but after he took out the yellow card, the whole field was in an uproar.

Because Kassai only signaled the yellow card to Liverpool's Mane, and did not make any penalty to the visiting team.

"Shit, damn referee, what the hell is he trying to do?"

The Liverpool players were furious. The opponent committed a foul, and the home team wanted to seek justice but was given a yellow card. Could this bias be more obvious?

All Liverpool players were fed up. In an instant, blood rushed up and rushed towards the referee. The referee was a little panicked and the situation was about to get out of control.

"Shut up!" Suddenly at this moment, a loud roar came from the field, suppressing almost all the sounds on the field.
