"At the beginning of the second half, the referee made a controversial penalty. Through slow motion, we saw Millwall and Blackburn players turning around in the penalty area to grab the ball, but Blackburn players were more like themselves.
He accidentally kicked Materazzi's foot and fell to the ground, but the referee awarded a foul in the Millwall penalty area and gave Blackburn a penalty kick."
Players from both sides on the field put pressure on the referee and protested to the referee at the same time.
Materazzi walked up to the forward with the ball in his arms, not looking for trouble, but calmly asked: "Did I commit a foul?"
"Well, you broke the rules!"
The opponent nodded calmly and said, anyway, he fell down and the referee awarded a penalty kick.
Materazzi took two steps back and looked at the referee with his hands on his hips. This kind of protest would definitely not be able to change the referee's decision. Unless the forward went to the referee to explain like Nedvěd did before, it would be possible to change it.
The penalty was awarded, but last time, even though Nedvěd asked the referee to explain, the result of the penalty was still not changed. However, he took the initiative to return the penalty kick to the opponent, which won Nedved numerous praises. This is a kind of player's temperament.
Sublimation, people can see his personality charm.
At any other time, Materazzi would have rushed over to the referee. With his head clear, it was impossible to change the penalty, but he had to put pressure on the referee. It was impossible to change the penalty this time, but he had to prevent it from happening next time.
Now that Southgate is taking the lead and other players are doing this kind of work, he will not go through it to avoid being shown another yellow card.
Aldridge was too far away and couldn't see clearly what happened at that moment. Maybe the referee saw Materazzi's entanglement with the opponent. Anyway, it's impossible to tell without watching the video replay.
However, as the coach, he still stood up and walked towards the fourth official. What he wanted to do was very simple, protest and apply pressure.
Souness saw Aldridge walking towards the fourth official, and he also walked there. Did he know that Aldridge now has a lot of "potential power" in England, and influencing the referee is a manifestation. For example, at Millwall
Our home court has a customary home whistle, and the phenomenon of biased whistle is obvious. The referee has very strict standards for fouls. This is actually to protect Millwall. If Millwall is a team known for its rough style of play, then the referee
The standards for fouls will be relaxed.
Souness wants to stop Aldridge from influencing the referees.
Aldridge had just said hello to the fourth official, who was also solemnly preparing to communicate with Aldridge and asked for another coach. The fourth official ignored him. But Aldridge came over, and no English referee would ignore it now.
After all, it cannot be said that it will affect the future. Those referees who have made Millwall suffer in penalty decisions have been unsatisfactory anyway.
"It was a penalty! A clear penalty! There was no doubt about it."
This sentence was not spoken by the fourth official to Aldrich, because the fourth official would not say such a thing.
It was Souness. He did not come to Aldrich to cause a conflict, so his tone when he spoke was calm and slightly weak.
Aldrich saw the nearly fifty-year-old coach saying this to him with certainty, and for some reason, he wanted to laugh in his heart.
"Penalty kick? Are you sure? My player committed a foul?"
"Well, I'm sure he committed a foul."
"What action did he commit the foul? Can you describe it?"
"He, he fouled, it was a penalty kick."
Souness was at a loss for words. He was further away from the scene of the incident than Aldridge, and it was absolutely impossible for him to see it more clearly than Aldrich.
Even Aldridge is unsure of the details, and Souness has no idea where his confidence comes from?
But after a few words, Aldrich knew that the other party didn't care about right or wrong, just the result.
He said nothing more and turned around and walked back.
What he needs to express has already been expressed in the conversation with Souness. As long as the fourth official is not a fool, he will understand.
Blackburn's coach could not tell the specific details of the foul, and could only insist that it was a penalty kick. The referee team did not need to give an explanation, but if it became the focus after the game, I am afraid it would cause a big stir.
Aldridge's mentality is still very peaceful. After so many years of coaching, he has become more and more accepting of the saying: Misjudgments are part of football.
In more than 60 or 70 games a year, it is impossible for every penalty to be accurate. The level of referees varies. This is the reality. However, some penalties are serious and some seem insignificant, such as the current one.
Penalty kicks can directly change the score, but sometimes a misjudgment of a side kick, a direct free kick, or an indirect free kick may also have a direct impact on the score. If you have to get angry every time, first of all, your mentality will be affected.
influence, and then affect the sanity.
Aldridge feels that he should be more mature because he will consider others and stand in the position of the referee. He cannot watch slow-motion replays from different angles over and over like the audience in front of the TV.
For example, both the offensive player and the defensive player were tearing each other's jerseys apart, but due to the angle, the referee only saw the defensive player's actions, and then sentenced the defensive side to a foul. The side that was sentenced to the foul must feel that they were wronged and thought it was a misjudgment.
But you can't ask the referee's eyes to focus on the center of the event from all 360-degree angles.
Maybe the referee just thought that Materazzi covertly tripped the opponent's forward when he turned around. What is the fact? Aldridge doesn't care. It's not his character to hold on to the referee. What's more, misjudgment and black whistle
, are two different things.
Now it may be a misjudgment, maybe it is not, maybe Materazzi really committed a foul, and Aldridge will have to wait until after the game to watch the video to confirm.
If it was a black whistle, Millwall might not have a chance to score at all, because the referee still controlled Blackburn's foul actions very well. Three yellow cards have been shown so far in the game, all of which were given to Blackburn.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines and watched Blackburn convert the penalty kick, rewriting the score. Souness cheered for a few seconds not far away, and then cheered for the players to strive for another victory to equalize the score.
Aldridge turned around and walked to the bench. He didn't need to look at the players on the bench one by one. He came directly to Ronaldo and said calmly: "Go and warm up."
Cristiano Ronaldo rushed out and started doing warm-up exercises on the sidelines.
Aldridge's move to call the substitutes to warm up startled Souness.
I thought the young marshal was going to scale up his tactics when he ordered troops!
Henry Ronaldinho Nedved Larsson?
Who will be meeting?
Until he saw that young boy Ronaldo rushing out to warm up, Souness thought it was a false alarm.
That 17-year-old kid?
Well, Ronaldo turned 17 last month, and the club gave him a new contract with a salary that doubled from last year. After all, he was promoted from the reserve team to the first team.
Souness calmed down and stopped thinking about it. He concentrated on commanding the team to go all out to equalize the score on the sidelines. As long as Millwall did not send out those superstars who could almost change the score against Blackburn by themselves, he was thinking
Still somewhat confident.
If Millwall really shows off their best, Blackburn will really have no choice but to despair.
"I didn't study it carefully before the start of the game, but now I look at it. Millwall's substitute list today is really strange. There are seven substitutes, one goalkeeper, one defensive player Lucas Neal, and the remaining five players are all offensive players! Come on!
What we didn't expect is that the player currently doing warm-up exercises on the sidelines is actually the least famous Cristiano Ronaldo, a 17-year-old young genius."
In fact, Aldrich's substitute list today was very bad. As a coach, he should be unqualified, but that's what he did.
A goalkeeper is always available.
Neal is a versatile defensive player. Unless two defensive players have problems, there will be difficulty in selection.
Originally, Millwall's weakest part today was its offense, so there was nothing wrong with a group of offensive players sitting on the bench, more capable main players. It was just that Ronaldo was also included in the substitute list. This shows that Aldrich has no regard for the Portuguese kid.
of importance.
When Ronaldo finished his warm-up, Aldridge waved to him. Ronaldo thought he would be on the field soon, but Aldridge put his arms around his neck, pointed to the court and asked softly: "Do you know what to do on the field?"
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded immediately, then shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "Boss, you haven't said who I will take over."
"Hahaha, yes, let me tell you, I will replace Lamore. It's not to punish him, it's not that he didn't perform well. He had two assists and I'm very satisfied with his performance. It's just that I want him to conserve his physical fitness for the rest of the schedule.
, he needs to contribute more to the team."
"Well, he performed very well, take him off, I'll go up, I know what I have to do, score goals! Leave it to me, left forward, no problem!"
Aldridge is a little helpless towards Ronaldo. This kid's overconfidence sometimes gives the coach a headache.
"Do you think I'll put you on and you can just play whatever you want? Do you know what Blackburn's intentions are on the court?"
"Uh, I don't know. It looks like he's just defending, then trying his luck to make a clearance."
Cristiano Ronaldo is a little tired. He has the illusion that he can be coached by Aldrich alone. This is an opportunity that many players in the team long for, but this coaching must be combined with the game. If there is no appropriate time, it is just empty talk.
Preaching is meaningless.
But in this opportunity that others envy, Ronaldo always feels that he is getting worse and worse, because Aldridge is always raising the level of outstanding players. He thinks that he has passed and will be immediately replaced by Aldridge.
Attack, he thought he was excellent, Aldrich would make him feel that he was still young.
At the age of 17, his heart was as high as the sky. Aldridge encouraged him and cultivated him, but also kept suppressing his mentality.
However, he also knows that being able to receive on-the-spot guidance from Aldridge will be of great help to his growth and improvement. This is far more effective than 10 training sessions or 100 training sessions, because the memory of the actual battle will be more profound.
, the experience is also deeper. (To be continued...)
