Chapter 618 The scale is too wide

Chapter 198 The scale is too wide
In the stands at Wembley, fans from both sides roared like a tsunami, completely igniting the atmosphere of the scene.

Under the leadership of the referee team, players from both sides stepped onto the field.

Manchester United's players seem very relaxed. They have already reached the Champions League final. Of course, the psychological pressure will not be too great to play in the FA Cup final, and Crystal Palace is indeed not a strong opponent.

The players of Crystal Palace are somewhat nervous. Their opponents will be on the stage of the Champions League final a week later. This is a European championship-level team, but now they meet them in the final.

Crystal Palace's players couldn't help but have the "this is a Champions League final" feeling.

The head coaches of the two sides shook hands with each other, and then each sat back in their seats.

Players from both sides have already stood on the court and stood according to their respective positions.

Before the game, Manchester United lost the right to jump to the side and won the right to kick-off.

The camera broadcasted by the TV was aimed at the court, and Li Qingshan stepped on the ball under his feet.

Subsequently, Clattenburg, who served as the referee of the game, blew the whistle to start the game.

"The game has begun!!!"

In the commentary seat, Andy Gray cheered up.

"This game will be a key game before Manchester United's Champions League final. After winning this game, Manchester United will first embrace the league and FA Cup champions, and then wait for the start of the Champions League final!!! "

"Of course, Crystal Palace will not easily admit defeat in front of Manchester United. This is a final. They will definitely try their best in this game. It is not easy for Crystal Palace to reach the FA Cup final. Of course they will not. Willing to let the championship trophy slip away from his eyes."

Accompanied by the commentator's voice, Li Qingshan kicked the ball to Carrick in the backcourt, and the game officially began!
In this game, Ancelotti chose the midfield combination of Carrick, Herrera and Fellaini. This is because Kramer suffered a slight muscle injury during training. In order to prevent problems in the Champions League final, Ancelotti Lottie didn't start Cramer just to be on the safe side.

After the game started, as most people expected, Manchester United took the absolute initiative and they got most of the possession.

However, Crystal Palace also played quite tough in this game. They frequently used big body movements to help defend during the game.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, both Mata and Di Maria were violated by Crystal Palace players several times.

Ancelotti stood nervously on the sidelines.

These are all his main players. What if he was injured by a player from Crystal Palace in this game!

Finally, after Mata was once again overturned by the opponent's left-back Suarez with a dribble and overturned to the ground, and Clattenburg didn't even give a foul, Ancelotti broke out.

He rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the referee. He seemed very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty.

The fourth official came over to warn Ancelotti, but the Italian coach was still furious. He turned and left angrily, and sat back on the coaching bench, but his eyes were still staring at the field nervously.

After Mata was overturned to the ground, Suarez got the ball and dribbled forward. Valencia also dribbled the ball and overturned the ground. The football was out of bounds.

The camera is on Clattenburg immediately.

How would Clattenburg handle the same action?

Sure enough, Klattenburg is one of the Premier League referees' Magic Four. He hesitated and awarded Crystal Palace a free kick in the midfield.

Now the Manchester United fans were dissatisfied, boos rang out.

Clattenburg licked his mouth. As the referee, he seemed a little confused about the situation.

Crystal Palace's free-kick was sent directly into the Manchester United penalty area and was cleared by central defender Rojo. Carrick then controlled the football and Crystal Palace's free-kick did not pose a threat.

Then Manchester United quickly hit the ball to the frontcourt.

This game is still quite a bit of a speed up.

Di Maria tried, but was tackled out of the touchline by right-back Ward. Di Maria jumped up and avoided the tackle this time.

But this time Clattenburg called a foul.

Now it was Crystal Palace's turn to be dissatisfied. Ward pointed to the football to indicate that he had scored the ball.

There were constant boos at the scene.

"Clattenberg's penalty is a bit confusing. His scale is very confusing. It seems difficult for the players on the court to find out where the penalty is. Sometimes it is loose and sometimes it is tight." Andy Gray shook his head in the commentary .

If there is the biggest shortcoming of the Premier League, it is undoubtedly the referee.

In almost every round of the Premier League, there are always some moths with wrong judgments and missed judgments, so that the fans are not surprised at all.

Both coaches were yelling at the referee on the sidelines, which can be regarded as a scene in the English league.

In the next game, Clattenburg's penalty scale was unified, but the penalty scale was a bit too loose.

The relaxation of scale is undoubtedly more beneficial to the defensive Crystal Palace.

Technically, it is difficult for Crystal Palace to compete with Manchester United, but if the game is more involved in physical entanglement, Manchester United's players may not necessarily take advantage.

No. 20 minutes, Di Maria was just about to kick a cross after getting rid of it, and from the corner of his vision, he caught the sole of the shoe that Crystal Palace defender Delany shoveled towards him.

Di Maria was startled, and jumped up hastily, avoiding the shovel this time.

Delany turned around immediately after shoveling the ball and passed the ball to Cabaye. When Cabaye took the ball, there was no one around him. He calmly took the ball and turned around, ready to launch a long forward pass to counterattack.

However, center Li Qingshan retreated quickly. In order to prevent Crystal Palace from defeating this counterattack, Li Qingshan had no choice but to make a tactical foul. He grabbed Cabaye with his hands.

This time Clatenberg's whistle blew.

Li Qingshan fouled!
Clattenburg is shown a yellow card.

Li Qingshan was not surprised to get a yellow card for his own tactical foul. Anyway, he is a center forward and has less defensive tasks. The chance of getting a card is also low, so getting a yellow card is nothing.

But Di Maria was very angry.

Delany's fierce tackle just now obviously exposed the soles of his shoes. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he might have directly injured himself with the tackle.

Such a dangerous action was not called a foul, and the Argentine was angry.

He rushed to the referee and asked: "Is it not a foul to show the soles!! How is this penalty!!!"

Clattenburg is obviously also very upset. He is very dissatisfied with his authority being challenged: "I have my own judgment!! I don't need you to teach me how to judge!!!"

Di Maria refused to let go, and Clattenburg simply took out another yellow card.

Fortunately, the angry Di Maria was hugged by Li Qingshan who rushed over in time, otherwise, who knows what will happen between the angry Di Maria and the confused referee.

In a short period of time, Manchester United got two yellow cards, which caused fierce boos at the scene.

"Clattenburg needs to pay attention to his penalty scale. Obviously, the players on both sides have been confused by his penalty. Clattenburg will lose control of the game scene. I hope this final will not turn into a card game." Ann Digory has some concerns about the prospect of the FA Cup final.

I really don't know how this Clattenburg's business level is, how did Andy Gray, who became the referee of the Premier League, complain.

The incident of the yellow card subsided quickly, but the actions of the players on both sides became more and more serious.

The players on the Crystal Palace side were constantly testing Clattenburg's penalty scale. They frequently fouled in midfield, which made the game fall into an intermittent situation.

During this period of time, the referee has become the protagonist of the game.

No. In the 208th minute, Crystal Palace player Bolassi shoveled Herrera to the ground behind his back, which caused a burst of exclamation from the stands, and even Andy Gray exclaimed: "This is an action that needs to be taken!!! "

Even Bolassi was taken aback after the foul. He didn't tackle the ball at all. As a professional player, he certainly knew what this action meant.

He quickly jumped up to apologize to Herrera and defend himself, saying that he went for the ball and did not foul on purpose.

Now you can't see the ferocity of Bolasi's foul.

Bolasi is also ready to get a card, but he is worried that the referee will give him a red card - the shovel behind him just now may get a red card.

But Clattenburg just gave a foul, and then verbally warned Bolasi, neither a red card nor a yellow card!
After a series of unclear penalties at the beginning, Clattenburg's standards are unified, but a little too loose.

Bolasi's moves don't cost any cards, and now the Crystal Palace players are more unscrupulous in their moves, and their defensive moves are getting bigger and bigger.

Manchester United is the one attacking with the ball, and the opponent makes big moves when defending, which is of course not good for them.

More importantly, there will be the Champions League final a week later, and the Manchester United players seem to have become a little timid under the fierce actions of the Crystal Palace-in case they are kicked and miss the Champions League final, it is not worth it.

So although Manchester United still got most of the possession, their offense gradually lost much of the threat. The initiative of the game can be said to have been snatched by Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace is sticking to it. Faced with such a sticking point, Manchester United seems to have nothing to do for a while.

It's been nearly three and 10 minutes, and Manchester United still has no way to break through the Crystal Palace goal.

For the Crystal Palace players, these three 10 minutes can be said to be the three 10 minutes to build their confidence in the game. Facing Manchester United's offense, the Crystal Palace players are becoming more and more confident in defensive actions-anyway, today's penalty scale is so low Relax, the players of Crystal Palace don't worry about fouls and cards now.

"During this period, the penalty scale was very loose. The field once fell into a hand-to-hand combat situation. The players of Crystal Palace were very excited, while Manchester United's momentum declined slightly." Andy Gray according to the situation on the field Said.

Ancelotti also frowned, especially when he saw Mata being shoveled to the ground again, Ancelotti's eyelids twitched, but when Mata stood up by himself and limped for a while, he continued. Entering the game, Ancelotti was relieved.

If Crystal Palace shoveled and injured several main players in the FA Cup final and affected the Champions League, this matter would be a big deal.

If possible, Ancelotti of course hopes to win the FA Cup and the Champions League together, but if it is a choice between the two and the other with a normal mind, they will choose the Champions League.

Ancelotti's heart always beats every time he sees a player fall to the ground.The scale of this game is too loose, which has to make Ancelotti fearful.

Of course, just relying on the loose scale, Crystal Palace did not completely stop Manchester United's offense.

In the No.301 minute, Li Qingshan tried a shot from outside the penalty area.

At that time, the central defender of Crystal Palace tried to overturn Li Qingshan as if he had overturned Mata or Di Maria, but Li Qingshan did not move at all. Instead, he took advantage of the defender's strength to complete the turn.

Then Li Qingshan volleyed with the instep of his right foot, and the football flew towards the goal against the turf.

In the middle, it hit Crystal Palace's full-back Ward, and the football hit the post and popped out of the baseline.

This is the closest the two sides have come to a goal so far in the game.

There was a sigh in the stands. The fans of Manchester United were regretting that the goal was not scored, but the fans of Crystal Palace were naturally rejoicing.

It would be troublesome if he was scored at this time.

Alan Padu raised his mouth on the sidelines. When he saw the football except the baseline, he breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he became nervous again and yelled loudly on the sidelines to make the Crystal Palace players pay attention to the corner kick. defense.

Next, Manchester United organized several offensives one after another.

No.304 minutes, Di Maria was brought down on the wing, and this time Clattenburg finally called a foul.

It's just that Clattenburg didn't get applause from Manchester United fans for calling a foul. Manchester United fans booed on the sidelines. They thought it should be at least a yellow card, but Clattenburg didn't give it.

But it's also good to have a set-piece. Manchester United's set-piece offense has always been threatening.

Mata passed the ball into the penalty area.

Li Qingshan's header from the center was blocked by the goalkeeper and went out of the penalty area. Herrera kicked directly outside the penalty area. After hitting the defender, his speed slowed down and was caught by the goalkeeper.

One minute later, Manchester United got another chance to shoot. Mata curled a kick on the penalty area line, slightly wide of the other end of the post.

Manchester United's sudden effort really got some opportunities, but they couldn't grasp them.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the first half of the game, Manchester United's players also hurriedly seized the time to continue attacking.

However, the dense crowd in the Crystal Palace penalty area made it difficult for Manchester United to penetrate the defense.

Until the end of the first half, Manchester United failed to score.
