Chapter 1817: Losing is not scary, the scary thing is not trying your best! For [YC. Lee】Additional

However, what surprised Rashford was that the referee did not point to the twelve yard point.

Ye Chen immediately gathered around and began to argue.

"Don't worry, please look at VAR!" Oliver didn't panic at all.

Yes.

In the VAR observation room at this moment, several assistant referees are watching frame by frame.

The final penalty was given, and it was really outside the penalty area!

Arnold, wearing No. 66, breathed a sigh of relief.

Already trailing one to zero, if they lose another one, Liverpool's situation will become particularly critical.

Since the introduction of VAR, there have indeed been fewer misjudgments in penalty kicks.

Of course, the referee company does not dare to be blatantly black.

By 2024, even if there is VAR, it will be all kinds of obvious and dark.

Especially the Premier League——

In order to make the club more competitive, the top brass of the Football Association turned around and controlled the ball in the penalty area, played volleyball with their hands, etc., including pushing people from behind and committing fouls.

Not even judged.

The direction of the game must follow the route they planned.

After all, once the points gap widens, the competition will weaken.

The fans don't seem to be that passionate anymore...

Think about how many Chelsea fans are sitting in front of the TV nervously praying for Manchester United to lose?

In particular, some old fans even shouted the slogan "The 30-year-old Red Army supports Liverpool, Manchester United loses to me!"

Don't look at Manchester United now having Ye Chen, the former King of Stamford Bridge.

But the characteristic of team fans is that after players leave the team, they still choose to stand with the team.

The time spent paying attention to players will be greatly reduced.

Many Chelsea fans will not even go to watch Ye Chen play in Sevilla.

For them, after Ye Chen left the team, they would occasionally cheer for him, but they could no longer love and care for him and keep an eye on him as before.

And when Ye Chen chose to join Manchester United instead of returning to Chelsea, many fans even stated that they were no longer fans of Ye Chen, but fans of the team's star Hazard.

Therefore, love does not disappear, but transfers!

Ye Chen didn't really care about these things.

To use a sentence that Ye Chen liked very much in his previous life: Why do I, Ye Chen, need to explain my story to others?

This set piece is a bit too wide.

De Bruyne sends the ball directly to the middle.

Maguire's big head once again played a huge role!

It was just that he failed to control the direction well. Under the interference of Lovren, Maguire pushed the ball out of the baseline.

Rodgers on the sidelines felt that Manchester United's players were starting to feel a little weak.

After all, tactics like Manchester United's early start are very common in the Premier League.

But it is unreasonable for you to maintain this high level of intensity all the time.

Unless you only play 45 minutes.

When professional players play games, reasonable arrangements for physical fitness are the most basic.

At this time, Arnold on the right began to play his role.

He plays as a full-back, so defense is definitely a big problem.

But he also has his own strengths...accurate pass thief!

31 minutes 07 seconds.

The football, which was still being passed back and forth on the left side, was suddenly given to Arnold.

Arnold got the ball and Rashford actively attacked.

But Arnold had a heavy shoulder and easily got rid of his defense.

Rashford's defense is also very tight.

He is a winger after all.

After all, there are so few wingers like Anthony Madoka who can enter the opponent's penalty area, turn around and score with a low shot, and retreat to the left back to defend!

Arnold, who broke away from the defense, saw Firmino in the ribs advancing at high speed.

"Boom!"

Just pick it up with your toes.

The football was delivered directly to the ribs.

Rojo reacted quickly, but he suffered the loss of turning around.

And Firmino's movement is very bad.

Almost as soon as the ball flew into the penalty area, he appeared at the spot where the ball landed.

De Gea in front of the goal quickly moved to the left near post.

But he still didn't go out to attack...

As a goal-line goalkeeper, he still believes in his goal-line skills and reactions.

"Oh!"

It can be seen that De Gea did not attack.

Firmino's approach is simpler!

Right foot shot!

The football flew from bottom to top directly to the far corner.

De Gea in front of the goal reacted really quickly.

but……

"Shh..."

The net is surging!

"what……"

Countless Manchester United fans at the scene let out a sigh!

Firmino, who scored the goal, ran to the corner kick excitedly, raised his arms and shouted.

And Arnold also ran over excitedly and gave him a big hug.

Rojo complained that Firmino was offside.

Since there is a problem, let's look at VAR!

Faced with the questions raised by the players, Oliver put his hand on the headset and said, "Don't worry, please look at VAR!"

The moment the pass was passed quickly appeared on the big screen.

The picture freezes...

All the fans fell into silence!

Rojo, Maguire and Valencia at the far end are all fine.

But what the hell is Smallin in the middle?

Why was he running back in such a hurry?

Everyone is trying to cause offside, but you are anxious to cover the offside position and prevent the opponent from being offside, right?

"Shh..."

The scene suddenly erupted into boos like a roaring tsunami!

Obviously, a large number of fans are extremely dissatisfied with Smalling's defense!

"Please, sell Smallin quickly!"

"I'm really convinced, if Smalling stays at Manchester United, Manchester United will never be able to take off!"

"Didn't you buy Ake? Let him play! I don't want to see Smalling in one game!"

In fact, as Manchester United's main central defender and an active England international, Smalling is in an extremely pessimistic situation.

Originally, Maguire was here, and he felt that he finally had a strong teammate.

But as the game progressed, he found that the problem was getting bigger.

Mainly because both of them are tall central defenders, and both have problems such as slow turns, slow speed, and insufficient flexibility.

So when they play together, the opponent team often uses a tactic of hitting behind...

However, Manchester United's current tactics no longer defend and counterattack as before, but instead begin to try to press high.

So much so that the distance between the defense and the goalkeeper is a bit far.

In addition, De Gea is the goalkeeper, so that the weaknesses of both of them will be infinitely magnified.

Not to mention Smalling, Maguire has actually been sprayed more and more recently.

Who makes Manchester United an internet celebrity club?

If there are too many people paying attention, it will naturally be difficult for everyone to agree.

unless……

Unless you are as strong as Ye Chen!

But in fact, many Manchester United fans don't know that Smalling is one of the few players in Manchester United's defense who has been put on the transfer market and the team is willing to spend money to take over.

Players like Phil Jones, Rojo and Valencia, if you put them in the transfer market, no one will spend money to buy them.

Even if you buy it, it will be at a low price.

The fracture must be broken.

After all, they all have one characteristic: high salary, low ability, and they have no pursuits. They are used to playing health football.

Not cost-effective in every aspect.

But no one thinks about that.

Like a forward, you make countless mistakes, but as long as you score a goal, it's called redemption.

On the contrary, players on the back line have successfully defended countless times, but as long as they make one mistake, they will become the target of public criticism and their reputation will be ruined.

Smalling kept shaking his head and sighing, Maguire stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, the game has just begun!"

Smolin opened his mouth to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

In fact, he was also under a lot of pressure.

Just as he stood silently, Ye Chen in front came back and said encouragingly, "Chris, no one can make no mistakes all the time, but remember, whether a person is strong or not is not determined by how many times he wins, but by how many times he wins. No matter how many times you can accept losing, cheer up! Let the fans who boo you see your true strength!"

As a captain, especially an encouraging captain, you must take care of the emotions of your teammates.

He could tell Chris Smalling was feeling guilty.

Naturally, Ye Chen couldn't just sit back and watch.

In the world of football, if one person is strong, he is not strong; no matter how strong he is, he is a sheep!

We are strong when we are strong, and we are a pack of wolves when we unite!

In fact, in any game, it doesn't matter if you lose the ball, and even losing is not acceptable.

But you must kick out your spirit!

It’s not the fear of losing, but the fear of not trying your best!
