230: Get the referee bonus at the beginning of the game?

On April 1, 2017, it was lightly raining at Stamford Bridge Stadium in London, England.

What will be held here today is the 30th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season, Chelsea's home game against Crystal Palace.

It can be said that the place is packed today.

After all, this is the battle of Tianwangshan in the Premier League this season. .??.

Before this game, the two teams also had one game less. So far, there is only one point difference between the two teams.

After this game ends, it is likely to change the pattern of the Premier League this season.

At least that's what Chelsea people think.

Everyone at Chelsea feels that they will win this game at home and will overtake Crystal Palace to top the Premier League list.

After all, in the make-up game between the two sides not long ago, Chelsea led 3-0 at half-time. If they weren't too aggressive, they would definitely win that game and get three points. They directly overtook Crystal Palace in that game, but they will wait until this game to overtake!

Therefore, everyone in Chelsea came to watch the team overtake Crystal Palace today.

Although the first leg of the match between the two sides was a draw, Chelsea people believed that they still had a great advantage.

Before the game, Conte and the others thought so too.

"Alan, do you think Chelsea can win this game at home and overtake Crystal Palace?" Mortensen asked immediately.

Shearer didn't even think about it and said directly, "I think this game is unlikely. The strength of Crystal Palace is obvious to all. In the first round of the match between the two sides, if it weren't for Hazard's superstar ball, Chelsea would have lost. I can't Hazard is able to score superstar goals in every game, and it is actually very difficult for them to defeat Crystal Palace in this game."

Mortensen nodded, feeling that what Hiller said made sense.

Then he turned to Neville and asked, "Gary, what do you think of this game?"

Neville pondered for a while, and then said, "I think both pairs have a chance. If I really have to choose one, I will still choose Chelsea. Because this game is Chelsea's home court, I think they should be able to Winner."

Mortensen and Hiller both smiled bitterly. Is this the basis for your judgment?

It’s a bit unreliable!

But if you think about it carefully, it still makes sense. If Chelsea received some preferential treatment at home in this game, it is impossible for Chelsea to really win this game with their home court advantage.

Therefore, Crystal Palace fans are still a little worried.

After all, in the past few seasons, Tong Yi and Crystal Palace have been taken care of by the FA referees, and they will always suffer some losses. Therefore, this game is a bit dangerous for Crystal Palace.

Hiller and Mortensen looked at each other again, worried.

At this moment, the players from both sides walked into the stadium, and the game was about to start.

Today’s starting lineups for both sides are as follows:

Home team Chelsea, head coach Conte, formation 3421

beep!

The referee of this game, Graham Scott, blew the whistle to officially start the game. The visiting team Crystal Palace kicked off first. Crystal Palace was very proactive from the beginning. They pressed forward from all fronts and pressed high. The entire team was suppressed for half of the game. Chelsea originally wanted to push forward, but was quickly pushed back by the Crystal Palace people.

The Chelsea fans at the scene seemed very calm, because they have played against Crystal Palace many times, and they are very familiar with Crystal Palace's playing style and tactics, so they are not nervous or worried at all now.

They are very confident in this game.

Chelsea must win!

So what if I let you have a taste of the sweetness first? Anyway, it wasn’t your Crystal Palace that lost in the end! Therefore, there is no use struggling. Chelsea will definitely win this game at home.

The Chelsea fans immediately shouted in unison and cheered for the Chelsea players.

At this moment, De Bruyne in midfield caught Casemiro's pass. When everyone thought De Bruyne was going to pass forward, he passed the football to Casemiro who was following him. .

After Casemiro took the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball and remembered the sudden breakthrough.

But after attracting Chelsea's defensive players, Casemiro immediately passed the football across the ball.

The football rolled quickly to the wing. Carvajal, who rushed up from the wing, spotted the football and passed the ball into Chelsea's penalty area without stopping the ball at all.

"Danger, Ibrahimovic is already in place. Can Azpilicueta handle Ibrahimovic with this ball? It's very uncertain, Chelsea is in danger!" Mortensen roared excitedly .

The Chelsea fans at the scene were extremely nervous. This ball was indeed very dangerous.

If Ibrahimovic hits the football, the ball will be very dangerous.

Conti narrowed his eyes and felt very nervous.

Danger!

At this time, Luis retreated and flanked Azpilicueta to defend Ibrahimovic. It was already too late.

At the back point, the football flew quickly towards the back point.

Only Azpilicueta can interfere with Ibrahimovic with this ball.

But Azpilicueta's position is very bad, and Ibrahimovic is severely stuck behind him. It is almost difficult to directly interfere with Ibrahimovic. Thinking of Ibrahimovic's amazing header ability this season, Azpilicueta, who was out of position, instantly panicked.

Come.

Seeing Ibrahimovic jumping high, the panicked Azpilicueta became anxious and nervous and instantly became a single-celled animal Paramecium, with no extra thoughts to think about. Anxious and panicked, he could only jump up behind Ibrahimovic, but no matter in terms of height or jumping height, Azpilicueta was completely blown away.

Azpilicueta could hardly interfere with Ibrahimovic with this goal. He could only watch Ibrahimovic easily complete the header?

Obviously, Azpilicueta did not do this.

Azpilicueta, who jumped up from behind, noticed that there was such a big difference in height between the two of them. He had almost no consideration for peace. He directly stretched out his hands and fiercely pulled Ibrahimovic's shoulders, using The weight of his body and the huge pulling force forcefully dragged Ibrahimovic to the ground while he was jumping in the air.

Unexpectedly, Ibrahimovic lost his balance in an instant and fell hard to the turf, lying on his back like a dog!

The loud bang could be clearly heard by the fans near the stadium.

Many people gasped!

This is too cruel!

Crystal Palace players and fans raised their hands and screamed "Foul, penalty, this is a penalty!"

Even the emotional Crystal Palace rushed towards the referee Scott.

Toot toot!

Scott didn't hesitate at all, he blew the foul whistle directly and pointed firmly at the penalty spot!

"Penalty kick! Scott awarded a penalty kick! There shouldn't be any problem with this penalty kick. Azpilicueta's foul action was so obvious that he didn't even have to wash it off!" Mortensen said. said.

Neville couldn't refute it at this time and said, "Indeed, Azpilicueta's defense this time was indeed a foul. It was a very detailed foul. There was no problem at all in giving the ball a penalty kick. It seems that Azpilicueta committed a foul in defense this time." Tower was not fully prepared for this cross. Of course, Luis also has to bear some responsibility. If he hadn't rashly pushed it so far outside, Ibrahimovic wouldn't have taken off so easily. Fighting for the header."

The faces of all the Chelsea fans at the scene darkened instantly, and their expressions were also very ugly.

Conte on the sidelines was very angry and very dissatisfied with the team's defensive counterattack.

Do you want to win the Premier League with a defense like yours? What are you thinking about?

Of course, this is also because the game has just begun and Chelsea's players have not yet fully entered the game state. Otherwise, Chelsea would not have made such a mistake. Especially Luis and Azpilicueta, they will not make such mistakes.

Conte is really helpless.

The Crystal Palace fans were very surprised and excited. This start was really dreamy. We at Crystal Palace were going to win the game right from the start. This is really amazing.

Crystal Palace fans sang the team anthem excitedly.

Very excited!

Red card!

\u003e

Scott awarded a penalty kick and showed Azpilicueta a red card, sending Azpilicueta off the field!

"Red dot package? This is something we didn't expect. At the beginning of the game, Scott actually gave a red dot package. What a surprise! But if you think about it carefully, Azpilicueta also gave a red card for this goal. There is a certain basis, but it is a little strict. And this is when the game has just started. It has not been three minutes since the game started. Chelsea was awarded a penalty kick and sent off one person. In this game, Chelsea still How to play?" Shearer felt a little surprised. He thought Scott's penalty was a bit strict.

The Chelsea people at the scene naturally couldn't accept it and criticized Scott crazily. But Scott didn't care at all and reduced his penalty. He even warned the agitated Chelsea players that he would not mind giving him another card if this happens again, so that the Chelsea players could hold back their anger a little.

Otherwise, this game may explode in an instant!

Conte on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied. He recognized the penalty kick, but was it too strict to give him a red card?

He can't accept it!

But the referee Scott was very determined and even ran to the sidelines to verbally warn Conte.

Seeing this, the Crystal Palace fans were very excited. Finally, they also reaped the referee's bonus. Of course, they also felt that the red card given by the referee was justified and well-founded. Azpilicueta's defensive action was very dangerous. Ibrahimovic This fall immediately knocked him out of breath, and he almost didn't recover.

If Ibrahimovic lands on his head or reaches his neck, it will be dangerous.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to give this ball a red card.

Bang bang bang!

Tong Yi gave applause to the referee, thinking that the penalty was well decided, very good!

"Penalty kick, Crystal Palace won a penalty kick. The game just started and Crystal Palace got an excellent opportunity. It seems that they are going to open the door to victory in this game! Let us congratulate Crystal Palace?" Shearer smiled, Suddenly I felt that this game was much easier in an instant.

Crystal Palace is going to win!

Ibrahimovic personally carried the football to the penalty spot, and he will take the kick!

Yes, Ibrahimovic fell quite hard this time, but he was not injured. He stood up directly and would personally take the penalty kick. Chelsea fans saw this and immediately booed Ibrahimovic and Scott wildly.

Ibrahimovic didn't care. He stood quietly in front of the penalty spot and looked at Courtois.

Courtois is ready.

At this moment, Scott blew the whistle to serve.

Ibrahimovic rushed out quickly and hit the football hard with his kick. The football shot out with a bang and flew straight towards the lower right corner of the goal.

The ball was very fast. Courtois judged the right direction but still did not knock down the football. The football hit the inner side net of the goal hard.

One to zero!
