Chapter 045 Be Calm
After Drogba came on the court, after nearly ten minutes of warm-up, he began to integrate into the game and became active. He got shots in the penalty area twice in a row, and the shot was successful. However, once he was blocked by Kompany and the other was that Johart was saved.
When playing, Drogba was given a chance by Scola, that is, Richards, Marklele and Sabaleta all had a yellow card.
Scolari told Drogba that he would try his best to get one of the three people sent off. If possible, it would be Marklele!
Obviously, Scolari also realized the importance of Marklele, a French veteran who was swept out by him. Marklele is the barrier for Manchester City's midfield defense. Without Marklele, Chelsea's offense and success chances will increase by at least 30% or 40%!
So, as soon as Drogba got the ball, he dribbled the ball along the middle, and he was deliberately looking for Marklele.
Marklele also discovered Drogba's intention, but he was powerless to do anything about it. Because he couldn't choose to escape just because he carried a yellow card. What should he do now? He can only pay attention to his defensive actions and not give Drogba the possibility of success. In addition, he must make a foul to stop the opponent's local language. The location of the foul cannot be placed in the penalty area.
Marklele and Drogba are teammates, and they are very clear about Drogba's characteristics, including some of Drogba's small tricks. As long as there is physical contact in the penalty area, Marklele has no doubt that Drogba will fall to the ground and ask for a penalty kick.
So, after Drogba took the field, Marklele was particularly energetic, and he knew very well how threatened Drogba was.
The game ended in the 73rd minute.
Deco dribbled the ball in the middle. Faced with Modric's interference, he passed the ball to Lampard, who came to pick up. The latter directly pushed the ball with his arch and the ball reached Drogba's feet.
Drogbara turned the ball and he broke into Marklele in the middle.
Marklele was not in a hurry to grab it. He followed Drogba tightly and did not give Drogba a chance to shoot from a long shot. He knew that Drogba had the skills to shoot from a long shot.
However, soon, Marklele realized that he might have been fooled. Drogba did not mean to shoot from a long time. The Ivory Coast shot slowly dribbled the ball, which was to enter the penalty area!
This is for himself! Marklele knew that Drogba was forcing him, or it could be said that it was a temptation to tempt him to commit a foul.
You can't retreat any longer, there is a penalty area behind you.
Marklele stretched out his foot to intercept the ball!
Drogba seemed to be waiting for Marklele to come, and saw him push the football away first.
Drogba, who had pushed the football away, did not dodge Maclale. At that moment, the huge body of the Côte d'Ivoire elephant seemed to become extremely clumsy, and it seemed as if it could not dodge and hit Maclale, rolled and fell to the ground. Then, Drogba had not forgotten to cover his ankle.
The referee's whistle sounded together with the booing of Manchester City fans.
"Stop the foul! Bring Drogba down! Marklele looks in trouble..."
"This is a fake fall! Drogba is a fake fall! He likes to do this!"
These are the commentators who stand on Chelsea and Manchester City.
For the same thing, the positions you take are different, and the conclusions you draw are naturally different.
While going to Radko, Marklele reached out to shake the referee and kept indicating that he was not a foul. The reason why he was so anxious was that he had seen the referee reaching his hand to his chest pocket...
What does that action mean?
"No! Damn!" Mark Hughes also shouted loudly when he saw this scene off the court.
"This is not a foul! That big man came up with him! He did it on purpose, he was pretending to fall!" Mark Hughes was extremely angry. Of course he knew what it meant to Manchester City if Marklele was sent off.
Moreover, his position is relatively good, and you can see clearly. This time it was not so much that it was Marklele's foul, but Drogba was waiting for Marklele to foul. The referee awarded Marklele's foul, which was nothing to say, but if you showed a yellow card, it seemed a bit too much to Manchester City!
Seeing the referee leaping into his pocket, a group of Manchester City players were also anxious. They rushed forward and surrounded the referee, trying to stop him from taking out the yellow card.
However, this cannot be stopped. Since the referee has made a penalty, he will never change his decision because of the player's protest.
He took out a yellow card from his pocket and lit it at Marklele, then took out a red card from his pocket. He pointed at the bottom of the field and signaled Marklele to leave the field.
Zhang Yang was furious, and he naturally knew the importance of Marklele to Manchester City. This is the real midfield barrier for Manchester City. Without Marklele, Manchester City's defense, facing Chelsea's crazy goals, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as riddled with holes.
Zhang Yang did not rush towards the referee, he rushed straight towards Drogba. He shouted at his senior brother, "You despicable guy, how dare you say you didn't pretend to fall?!"
Drogba looked at this forward who was also from Marseille like him, and did not give Zhang Yang a good face because of this connection. He shook his finger, "Stay away from me!"
"Bastard, don't you dare to admit it? Is that thing in your crotch a decoration?" Zhang Yang and French were quite good. There was no barrier to verbal communication between him and Drogba.
"Hehe, be careful when you speak, you deserve a beating, right?"
"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"
“Get out of here!”
"Split it up! Separate them for me!"
"Everyone calm down!"
At this time, the referee surrounded by Manchester City players also rushed over to stop the possible conflict. His method was very effective. He showed a yellow card to Drogba and Zhang Yang, so that the two guys with tempers could calm down.
The yellow card really calmed down Zhang Yang. He realized his responsibilities. At this time, he would never be as arrogant as before!
There is a saying that pressure and responsibility can make a person mature quickly. Zhang Yang is like this now. He was entrusted with important tasks at Manchester City and was regarded as the hope of the team by the club and fans!
While this made Zhang Yang proud and proud, he also always reminded himself of his responsibilities. When encountering problems, he thought more comprehensively than before, and was calmer and more rational than before.
Seeing Zhang Yang walking away angrily and not continuing to "fight", Drogba felt a little regretful. Zhang Yang came over to "fight" him. This was not in his plan. However, this did not prevent Drogba from temporarily adding a task to himself, that is, to end Zhang Yang. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang stopped his temper at the critical moment.
"Marklele received the second yellow card in this game, and the French midfielder was sent off by a red card. This is a huge blow to Manchester City!!"
"Let's look at it again. Marklele's foul did exist. He blocked Drogba's progress. Of course, Drogba was also a bit exaggerated. However, no matter what, the foul did exist. If there is any controversy, is this foul enough for a yellow card? Depending on the referee's meaning, he certainly thinks this is a yellow card action!"
Mark Hughes was furious when he saw the referee taking out a red card. He was already overtaking the score, but as the game time passed, the situation should be more and more beneficial to Manchester City. If Manchester City didn't do it well, they could really win Chelsea and get a 'great' victory.
Now, the main midfielder is also the team's largest and most reliable barrier for midfield defense. Facing Chelsea's violent bang, how should Manchester City play?!
In a game with a strong team like Chelsea, one less player and the same number is very different. Originally, Manchester City did not have the upper hand, but after overtaking the score, the situation was just a little better. Now, the main midfielder was sent off. In the following game, it is conceivable that the passive situation of Manchester City team is!
Mark Hughes was furious here, while Chelsea coach Scolari was smiling. He knew too well that the impact of Marklele being sent off. In the whole game, Marklele was the biggest obstacle to block Chelsea's offense. Now, this big stone is gone, what can still stop the progress of Chelsea's tank?!
Mark Hughes muttered a few more words, and could only accept the penalty in depressed manner. It is unchangeable for Marklele to be sent off. To be fair, it was a foul. He just felt that the penalty for the yellow card was too severe! However, in this case, he could only accept it.
What we need to do now is how to make adjustments to make up for the losses caused by Marklele's sent off.
The referee dispersed the crowd and urged Marklele to leave the court immediately. The French veteran left amid the booing of the home fans. Of course, the fans of Manchester City did not boo Maclalele. The booing was for Drogba and the referee.
Manchester City fans of course think that Marklele is innocent, all of this is Drogba's subtitle.
At this time, Zhang Yang temporarily ended the "fight" with Drogba. He ran over and escorted Marclay to leave the field.
"Claude, I promise you! I will definitely win!" Zhang Yang said to Marklele.
He knew that Marklele was holding her breath. Marklele was swept out by Chelsea, but was directly announced by Scolari that he was not in the team's plan and that the team could transfer freely.
This time, Marklele was desperate to face Chelsea. He wanted to prove to Chelsea that Marklele's ability! He wanted to make Chelsea regret it and Scolari regret it!
Does Chelsea regret it? No one knows, but Scolari regrets it and does not mention whether he regrets it. It is just that Scolari asks Drogba to do things specifically for Marklele. This shows that Scolari obviously also realized that Marklele's existence has had an impact on Chelsea.
