Terry could no longer bear it. He had already received a yellow card for arguing with the referee. He roared to remind the referee Riley, who then blew the whistle for the match. When the team doctor entered the field, Terry also observed Cudicini's injury. With just one glance, Terry turned his head and gestured to Mourinho to make a substitution. Yes, Cudicini could not hold on any longer.

The medical staff took a full 8 minutes to simply deal with Cudicini's injury. Since this was the last moment of the game, Mourinho, who had used up his substitution quota, could only let Terry wear the clothes of the third goalkeeper Hilario and let Terry play the goalkeeper position.

After the game, Mourinho was very angry. He strongly condemned the"despicable behavior" of Reading striker Hunter, and Reading naturally made an excuse for this.

The most infuriating person in this game should be the referee. The foul at the beginning of the game was enough to kill Cech. The referee Riley was very close to the scene of the incident, but he did not say anything. In this game, Riley issued 3 red cards and 10 yellow cards. Even before that, Reading was the team with the fewest fouls in the entire Premier League.

《The Guardian's evaluation of the game that Riley officiated was very spot-on."The ferocious collision broke the game into pieces, and the referee played a major role in it."

And now, on November 23, in the 15th round of the English Championship, Notts County will sit at home and face Reading, currently ranked 12th in the league..

There is no easy word in the adult world. After Reading's former head coach Paul was dismissed due to poor performance in leading the team, Cudicini, who had been one of the victims of Reading's"massacre", took over. After ending his Chelsea playing career, he also played for Tottenham Hotspur for many seasons. Cudicini, who had just retired from the Los Angeles Galaxy not long ago, chose to be a coach. His first season as coach was with Reading..

Cudicini mainly plays the conventional 433 chain defense tactic, which is a tactical system that emphasizes defense. This tactic originated in Italy and Austria and was first used by the Austrian Karl Lapan in the Swiss national team in 1930. Chain defense, simply put, is to divide the team's tactical formation into two chains, so that the opponent cannot easily break through the team's defense line.

Linkage is used for the spaces between players. If the players are points, then the spaces are like lines. When the points are under pressure, the lines will naturally converge towards the source of the pressure. However, because chain defense requires most of the team's players to engage in defense, and often the team's offensive players are only two or three, so chain defense requires the team to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Under Cudicini, Reading has only conceded 18 goals so far this season, but in contrast, they have only scored 14 goals. Not long ago, Reading ended its 9-game winless streak, including 6 losses. However, Reading has won three consecutive games in the last 3 games and is gaining momentum recently.

In Reading's 433 tactical formation, the starting goalkeeper is England goalkeeper McCarthy, who came from Reading's youth training and will also be selected for the England national team and represent the country in the future. This season, McCarthy has received high and low blocks, averaging as many as 4 saves per game. What is even more outrageous is that this season, McCarthy has 1 goal and 1 assist, although the goal he scored was a penalty kick.
