Chapter 47 Conspiracy Theory

Iniesta excitedly hugged the ball and ran towards Ribery. While celebrating the goal, he also thanked Ribery for his wonderful pass. Hubner and Villa also quickly got up from the door. , embraced Ribery.

Loew waved his fist from the sidelines, he believed that the team would win, but when the goal came, he could not restrain his excitement.

David seems to be more excited than Love. If the assistant coach didn't stop him, it is estimated that he would have rushed into the court to celebrate together.

But at this moment, a discordant whistle sounded, and everyone's eyes looked at the referee in doubt.

The referee had a whistle in his mouth and was making movements in his hands, but this action did not mean that the goal was valid, but signaled Blackburn to take a free kick in the backcourt.

This penalty confuses the players on both sides. Does the goal not count?

Villa was the most impulsive, rushed directly to the referee and asked loudly: This is a good shot, why not?

Other Notts County players also gathered around, and they simply couldn't accept the penalty.

As the captain, Alonso saw that the players were a little out of control, so he quickly stood in front of the referee, fulfilled the responsibility of the captain, and communicated with the referee.

The referee's face was a little ugly. As the most authoritative person on the court, he hated players to question his penalty, and Notts County's protest around him was undoubtedly challenging his bottom line.

This is obviously offside. When player No. 16 passes the ball, player No. 8 is in an offside position. There is no good explanation for this! The referee said to Alonso with a blank expression, and then he didn't care whether Alonso accepted it or not. , he has already walked towards the middle circle.

Notts County's No. 16 player is Ribery, and the No. 8 player is Iniesta who scored.

Only at this time did the Notts County players realize that the linesman's flag was raised high, and it was his action that allowed the referee to make a penalty.

The players of Notts County wanted to argue and protest in the past. They couldn't accept this penalty. It was obviously a good goal, but it was blown out of the way. It's strange to be calm!

However, Loew shouted the names of the players loudly on the sidelines to calm them down. Although the goal is blown, it will affect the morale of the team. If you are punished, then this game will probably be explained here.

Although the players were extremely unwilling, they still listened to Loew's words and restarted the game instead of stubbornly looking for trouble with the referee.

This son of a bitch! David burst out, and with red eyes he wanted to rush into the arena, but he was firmly held back by Loew.

Don't be too impulsive, it's just a goal. I promise that we can win this game, so don't make trouble. If you have the time to make trouble, you might as well think about the attitude of the club after the game. In the face of the media and the FA, I always feel that things are not that simple! Loew said loudly in David's ear, but his expression was a little unintelligible.

David also calmed down, his mind turned around, and he started to think.

The goal just now was definitely not offside, because when Ribery passed the Blackburn defender and passed the ball, the defender was less than 2 meters away from the bottom line. The players are not offside.

Is this misjudgment really just a mistake, just a coincidence?

David also has a taste, maybe someone doesn't want Notts County or any of the lower-level teams to go further.

It’s hard to say what kind of mentality the FA has, but David vaguely feels that the FA still hopes that in the League Cup, the strong team will eliminate the weak team, so that the next game will be the strong team. Strong dialogue, the game looks good, this event can attract more attention, which is in line with their interests.

If the FA really has such a hint,

Then David has nothing to say, and there is really nothing to communicate with the short-sighted.

Hope this is just their guess, maybe the game will be able to see the truth!

After the restart of the game, Blackburn, who had survived the disaster, showed momentum. When the Notts County players were annoyed by the blown goal, they launched a violent offensive, which made Notts County a little embarrassed for a while.

However, after Notts County tenaciously stabilized its position, the game returned to its usual dullness. Until the end of the regular time of the game, neither side was able to score a goal, and the game will enter overtime.

Because before the League Cup, the semi-finals and finals will be decided in the form of a decider. If there is no winner in extra time, then it can only enter a brutal penalty shootout.

The penalty shootout is no stranger to Notts County, as Notts County and Northampton played a penalty shootout in the first round of the League Cup.

Even if there is extra training on penalty kicks, Loew is still willing to decide the winner and loser at game time. Maybe that is more certain. Penalty kicks sometimes test the psychological quality of the players, and... luck !

That's right, it's luck, this kind of illusory thing is not something that everyone can grasp.

Before the start of overtime, Loew dragged Ribery and Iniesta to start face-to-face interviews. At this time, he had no regard for technical and tactical play. How to pour the ball into the opponent's door was the most important thing.

His strategy is also very simple. The two take more balls to make breakthroughs, take advantage of the opponent's decline in physical fitness to disrupt the opponent's defense, and take advantage of the chaos to create opportunities. Even if they can't directly threaten the goal, they can also create set-pieces.

After Ribery and Iniesta came on stage, they firmly implemented Loew's request and started to make more personal breakthroughs, while other Notts County players helped them stretch the space. After psychological adjustment, Notts County has He was trying his best to beat his opponent in game time.

As for the penalty shootout?

Go to hell!

Notts County's restricted area surrounding Blackburn began to bombard violently, one after another, and the scene was so tense that it seemed to be suffocating at any time.

In the 3rd minute of the first half of the extra time, Ribery cut through the goal and was punched out of the penalty area by the goalkeeper. Leiden Baines, who came off the bench in extra time, volleyed on the left side of the top of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher. out the beam.

In the 8th minute of the first half of extra time, Lahm made a cross, but Hubner's header was hugged bravely by the opponent's goalkeeper. The goalkeeper also broke out in a cold sweat, because he had almost given up just now. Defense and actions are also subconscious, but I didn't expect it to actually make a difference.

In the 13th minute of the first half of overtime, after Alonso shot a long shot from outside the penalty area and was blocked by his opponent, the ball bounced back to his feet. crowd.
