Chapter 1 After Chen Yingxiong leveled the score for Liverpool, the two sides fell into a seesaw battle again.

Until the end of the first half, the score could not be changed again.

After a fifteen-minute break in the middle, the two teams changed sides and fought again in the second half.

Liverpool's strategy remained the same, while Manchester City strengthened their defense.

Physical contact in the scramble between the two sides was commonplace.

Even in the Premier League, which emphasizes physical confrontation, the commentators felt that some moves were too big.

The atmosphere on the field became more and more intense.

At first, it was because Liverpool was eager to win, while Manchester City was more relaxed. But as Liverpool's players made bigger and bigger moves, Manchester City's players refused to back down.

Playing football, everyone is a passionate man, who doesn't have a temper?

So the actions of both sides were further escalated.

※※※

Barry received a yellow card for tripping Charlie Adam in defense, while Liverpool's Enrique received a yellow card for a violent collision with David Silva, which sent the opponent and the ball out of the field.

In addition to the big moves, the mouths of both sides were not very clean.

The peaceful atmosphere before the game was long gone, leaving only twenty-two bloodthirsty players.

Suarez was knocked to the ground by Kompany while dribbling the ball. He lay on the ground and refused to get up, intending to ask the referee for a free kick and at the same time ask the referee to show Kompany a second yellow card and send him off.

Kompany didn't come up to find Suarez, but Richards came up to scold Suarez for diving.

Suarez, of course, refused to let it go. He jumped up from the ground and glared at Richards.

Seeing that Suarez was being bullied, Chen Yingxiong quickly ran over and pushed Richards away: "Stay away from him!"

Richards reacted quickly enough. Seeing Chen Yingxiong pushing him, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground in a very embarrassing manner!

Seeing Richards fall, Kompany, who hadn't dared to come up before, quickly waved his arms and jumped out, shouting at the referee: "Hey! Referee! Referee! Come and see! Hero pushed someone!!"

The referee's whistle sounded sharply, and the other players from both sides rushed up.

The two sides squeezed together, with Liverpool players coming to support Chen Yingxiong, while Manchester City players were putting pressure on the referee.

In the end, the referee gave Chen Yingxiong a yellow card, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Liverpool players and fans.

Liverpool's players surrounded the referee, protesting his yellow card. Liverpool fans in the stands made huge boos.

Gerrard, as the captain, rushed to the front. He grabbed the referee and explained to him: "Hero is kind. He doesn't want the conflict between the two sides to escalate... He pushed Richards away to protect both sides... But Richards' fall was too exaggerated! Look at how many steps he took back before falling? If he was really pushed down? He would not be able to retreat even one step!"

The referee ignored so much. While he was looking down and recording the penalty in his notebook, he explained to Gerrard: "His action of pushing people is malicious and easily arouses the dissatisfaction of Manchester City players..."

After Gerrard's explanation was ineffective, he had to turn around and walk away.

He came up to comfort Chen Yingxiong, just touched Chen Yingxiong's head, and said nothing.

On the other hand, Suarez was a little... complicated when Chen Yingxiong ran up to defend him.

Of course, he knew why he took the initiative to unblock Chen Yingxiong. Because his purpose was impure, he felt guilty when he saw Chen Yingxiong treating him like a friend. However, the boring dignity of a man prevented him from accepting Hero's friendship, and at the same time, he could not apologize for deceiving Hero, so he was very conflicted.

Chen Yingxiong himself didn't care, isn't it just a yellow card? As long as it's not a red card!

Anyway, he is a forward player, and the chance of getting a yellow card is originally low. As long as he pays attention in the subsequent games, this yellow card will have no impact on him.

But was it really a foul when Suarez was knocked down by Kompany? Television broadcasts gave the answer - yes.

It is said that it was because the two people did have physical contact, Kompany pushed with his hands and tripped with his feet, which was indeed a foul.

So why didn't the referee indicate anything?

This has to start with one of Suarez's bad habits... As a South American player, he is very fond of diving, using small tricks to deceive the referee and opponents to seek benefits for himself and the team.

Suarez's reputation for diving is very loud. In the Netherlands, he was blacklisted by all the referees. Because he often dives in the penalty area to cheat penalties, and after succeeding many times, the referees noticed him.

Deception is an indispensable part of South American football, and this can be seen from Alves, the "Best Actor."

However, the resulting consequence is that sometimes Suarez is really violated, and the referee will choose to turn a blind eye out of the psychology of "this kid must be diving again."

The result is that Suarez was kicked for nothing...

This is the football version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

※※※

The conflict between Suarez and Richards did make many Manchester City players feel bad about Suarez - not only Manchester City, but any player who is not on the same team as Suarez, especially the defensive players, probably don't have a good impression of this person.

Any player who dives is unpopular. This can be seen from the fact that Chen Yingxiong spoofed Barcelona, but still received unanimous praise.

But this time Suarez was really wronged... Kompany really fouled, otherwise why didn't Kompany dare to argue with Suarez? Because after the foul, he thought that he already had a yellow card, and if he got another yellow card, he would have to get out!

With one less person, or a center back, Manchester City's next game would be difficult.

Because he was guilty, he didn't go up to find Suarez. If there was no foul, he would have been furious when he saw Suarez falling to the ground and raising his hands to ask the referee for a card - Kompany is not a good-tempered person.

However, the other players of Manchester City did not think so. Whether Suarez was really violated or not, it was Suarez's fault. Who told him to love diving so much? Sometimes, the impression of a person is so ingrained that it is really difficult to change...

So in the next game, Suarez was constantly "wheeled x" by Manchester City players.

He couldn't even think about getting the ball. As soon as he received the ball, Manchester City players would pounce on him, either with a fierce tackle or a violent physical collision.

Finally, in a dribbling process, Suarez was given a flying shovel by Richards in the front. He took off into the air at that time, fell to the ground with his head, and covered his ankle with a painful expression.

Richards, on the other hand, stood up as if nothing had happened and passed the football forward with a big kick...

The referee's whistle hesitated for a moment before it sounded - perhaps this coach wanted to confirm whether Suarez was diving again...

Chen Yingxiong spread his arms and roared at the referee: "Such an obvious foul! Shouldn't you give a card?"

Richards made a diving gesture with both hands, indicating that Suarez was diving again, intending to frame himself.

Chen Yingxiong was upset at that time, he scolded Richards angrily: "Diving your mother's ass!"

However, he was pulled out by Gerrard after he scolded, and he replaced Chen Yingxiong and rushed to the referee to argue with him.

The other Liverpool players also rushed up to make trouble for Richards.

Although FIFA ordered to strictly prohibit the action of tackling from behind, as long as it is a tackle from behind, whether it is tackling the person first or the ball first, a card will be given. However, tackling from the front is also risky. If the action is too big and causes great damage to the opponent, it is also a very serious foul.

The referee looked at Suarez's injury. Seeing that Suarez was lying on the ground and did not get up, with a painful expression, he first signaled the stretcher to come up. Then he showed Richards a yellow card.

Seeing that Richards was punished, many Liverpool players also gave up.

However, Chen Yingxiong, who was left outside by his teammates, did not let him go. His eyes were fixed on the other party.

Richards was clearly retaliating maliciously. If such an action is not given a red card, how can it be justified?

※※※

Dalglish was also dissatisfied with the referee's penalty. He didn't know Suarez's injury yet, but he certainly hoped that Richards would be sent off with a red card. If the opponent had one less person, the game would be much easier.

Later, bad news came that Suarez sprained his ankle. In the flying shovel, his supporting foot was deformed.

He definitely can't play in this game, and it's hard to say whether he can play in the next game or the next game...

Dalglish was even more angry - forcing my people to leave the field due to injury, is such a foul not enough to get a red card?

Chen Yingxiong saw the substitution sign raised on the sidelines, Suarez was replaced, and he clenched his fists.

He and Richards had just had a conflict, and they were already enemies. Now the other party used such a malicious foul to take his friend down. Others might be able to tolerate this, but he, Chen Yingxiong, couldn't!

※※※

After the game restarted, Manchester City controlled the ball in the backcourt, passing the ball back and forth, intending to attract Liverpool, who were eager to win, to press up, so that they could easily counterattack.

Chen Yingxiong seemed to be completely unable to see that Manchester City was deliberately passing the ball back and forth. No matter who the football was passed to, he would run over. Then the other party would pass the football out after he got a little closer. Chen Yingxiong didn't say a word, turned around and chased in the direction where the football went.

This scene is really like the "teasing monkey" that everyone plays in training. Chen Yingxiong is the monkey being teased.

Richards received the football twice in this process, and both times he passed the football out when Chen Yingxiong was about to run there, making Chen Yingxiong run in vain and maximizing his physical exertion. After he passed the ball out, Chen Yingxiong turned around and left without saying a word.

So when he received the ball for the third time, and Chen Yingxiong ran towards him, he didn't feel anything was wrong. He pretended to pass the ball, but this was just a feint. Chen Yingxiong was not fooled, but continued to approach where he was.

When the distance was right, Richards twisted his body and passed the football to Kompany in the middle.

But this time, Chen Yingxiong didn't turn around and leave, but still rushed towards Richards, he even accelerated once...

After Richards passed the football, he turned his head and saw Chen Yingxiong rushing towards him. He then felt something was wrong...

Then he felt as if he had been hit head-on by an overloaded heavy truck...

"Hero!"

The commentator exclaimed.

Facing Richards, who had already passed the football out, Chen Yingxiong did not give up. He accelerated and crashed into Richards, and it was not just a simple crash, he also took off and made a flying shovel!

Right in the middle of Richards' ankle!

Richards was shoveled up like a bulldozer, took off into the air, and fell to the ground after turning one and a half circles in the air...

Anfield was silent.
