"Me? I fouled?" Chen Zhuo was helpless and speechless. This ball was to steal Messi at Barcelona's home court, and the referee would not call a foul!
The Olympic Stadium in Rome can accommodate 100,000 spectators, but only 00 away tickets were provided to Genoa for this game. The cheers of Genoa fans were undoubtedly drowned in the torrent of 100,000 spectators.
From the beginning of the game, every time Chen Zhuo takes the ball, there will be huge boos, as if the boos are going to knock Chen Zhuo out.
The same was true for the steal just now. Chen Zhuo blocked, protected, turned around, and got rid of. His movements were very coherent. Since he was stealing the Roman prince, Chen Zhuo had tried his best to not open his arms too much, but when he made the move
, the fans booed deafeningly. It was not until the referee stopped the game and sentenced Chen Zhuo for a foul that the noise on the court stopped slightly.
"The elbow swing is too big..." the referee seemed to mutter to himself, and then asked Totti concernedly if he wanted to call for a stretcher to come in.
"Mr. Referee, I confirm that the range of my arm swing is normal. Please do not let the external environment interfere with your fair law enforcement..." Chen Zhuo waved his hands and said to the referee in Italian. Although he was not particularly fluent, the referee
You must understand.
"Elbow foul! This time I will only give you a verbal warning. If you do something like this again, I won't care who your background is!" the referee scolded Chen Zhuo with an upright look, glaring at him.
Niang Xipi's, is there any king's law? With such a bird-like appearance, he looks like he is upholding justice and not afraid of power, but Chen Zhuo looks like a yamen who bullies men, women, and others. He is so angry!
The old captain Marco Rossi ran over and asked Veloso to pull Chen Zhuo down. Although they believed that Chen Zhuo would not do anything extraordinary, Marco Rossi was well-informed about all kinds of strange things in Serie A.
Not wanting Chen Zhuo to suffer, after just two arguments, the referee suddenly showed a yellow card and accused Chen Zhuo of verbally attacking him. That was not impossible!
It is obvious that the Roma team has done "work" in this game. Maybe strong teams including Juventus and Inter Milan feel that Genoa's top position is too eye-catching, and maybe there is a tacit understanding between them.

In the next ten minutes or so, the referee's whistle almost drove Chen Zhuo crazy. No matter which Roma player Chen Zhuo intercepted, as long as he was pressing closely, the referee would immediately blow the whistle and punish Chen Zhuo for a foul!
Every penalty made by the referee will trigger a joyful cheer from the Roma home fans, accompanied by the clamor of "yellow cards" and even "sent off" to cheer for the referee's evil deeds.
Except for Roma TV, all the other TV broadcasters who broadcast the game couldn't stand it. They thought that the referee's favoritism in this game was too much, and they all condemned it. Even the "venomous" Gilardizza was commenting on AC Milan.
Chievo was introduced during this game, and his comment was, "In the name of punishing a bastard, he did everything a bastard can do."
Gasperini has twice gone to the fourth official to issue a **, and the camera has twice switched to the owners of both clubs watching the game in the VIP seats. The owner of the Roma club was smiling, but the owner of the Genoa club had a gloomy face.
It can squeeze out water.
Encouraged by the referee's favoritism, the Roma players' movements became more and more aggressive, and the Genoa players' anger was also aroused. Scenes of people falling on their backs continued to appear.
The referee also began to issue yellow cards. By the end of the first half, six yellow cards had been issued, Roma received two, and four Genoa players were "yellow cards."
Chen Zhuo was not shown a yellow card by the referee. After all, the foul was already very reluctant. If he was given another card, it would be unjustifiable. If Genoa really wanted to complain, although it would not be a big deal, it would not be easy to explain.
In such an atmosphere, the game cannot proceed normally. In the following games, the referee's whistle will sound less than one and a half minutes on average. Neither Genoa nor Roma can effectively organize a smooth attack.
The entire game had no coherence at all and was dismembered into pieces.
On the field now, the protagonist is neither the home team nor the visiting team, but the referee performing a one-man show.
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in Serie A. Due to the phenomenon of referees dominating the game in Serie A, Mourinho did not know how many times he was sent to the stands!
It's just that in this game, the referee went a little too far. In the entire 45 minutes of the first half, the game was interrupted nearly 30 times by the referee! More than two-thirds of them were called for fouls by Genoa.
Under such circumstances, with the Roma team receiving so much favor, Totti wasted opportunities as always. At least two shots were easily saved by the goalkeeper because they were too weak, and there were two or three threatening opportunities.
Due to Totti's hesitation, the danger was averted by Dainelli and Ranocchia.
In short, with the help of the referee, Genoa's tactics could not be implemented, which led to the Roma team gradually taking the initiative, causing dangers in front of Genoa's goal. Chen Zhuo, who was focused on by the referee on the offensive end, had to retreat to the defensive end to help Genoa barely survive.
The goal was not missed.

"This is one of the complex situations we have to face! Regarding the referee's problem, we can file a complaint after the game, but now we have no right to choose the referee. What we can choose is to face it calmly and wait patiently for the opportunity.
!" Gasperini did not show any dissatisfaction. He said to the players: "During normal training, I occasionally let you fight in groups and deliberately favored one of the teams. Don't you remember?
Is it done?"
Everyone nodded, and Chen Zhuo also remembered that it was even more extreme at that time than it is now. At most, Gasperini once asked him to organize the defense, while the opponent sent 13 people.
"No matter how partial he is, he can't send 13 people," Gasperini joked. The first priority now is to let everyone relax.
The players laughed easily, and the emotions and pressure caused by the unfairness in the first half were somewhat calmed down.
"Before the game, I repeatedly emphasized the difficulty of this game. Everyone did a very good job in the first half, especially on the defensive end. Everything we did made us qualified to occupy the top spot in the standings!"
Sperini continued: "We can only use some small tricks to deal with the referee's favoritism. Remember, this is a secret in our locker room. No one is allowed to tell it outside the team. Do you understand?
?”
The players happily agreed. Usually Gasperini always has some weird ideas that make the players' eyes shine.
"First of all, the defense of Totti." Gasperini instructed: "After Totti received the ball, all the players who got yellow cards in the first half stretched their arms and shouted, 'I didn't do it this time.
Go hurt Totti! Veloso, Criscito, Caja and Dainelli, the four of you, no matter how far away Totti is in your game, do this!"
Everyone laughed. This was sarcastic and mocking the referee, and it was also a way of killing. This was a game broadcast live to the world. This kind of killing method will definitely become a news topic. Judging from this move, Gass
Pelini was going to have a head-on confrontation with the referee on duty.
"You have the courage to do this. At the post-match press conference, I will tell reporters that this is my arrangement, and I will also formally submit a complaint, even if we win in the end! We are now ranked first, and a defeat is not enough.
It will send us to hell, but we need to let everyone who tries to be a pup know that we, Genoa, are not someone they can bully easily! Patton, remember to push these out on your Twitter immediately after the game..."
Gasperini's words aroused cheers and applause from the players. Chen Zhuo also nodded vigorously and said that he would definitely do it as soon as possible. Kaladze also took the initiative to say that his social platforms would also publish such content, and he would do so.
Complaints were made against the referee by name.

The players were re-energized by Gasperini's momentum. In the previous teams, almost all the players had encountered similar situations, and the head coach's response was nothing more than two.
One is to swallow their anger and tell the players that scoring a goal is the best revenge. This is all nonsense. Doesn't it mean that if there is no black whistle and the opponent does not make a black kick, then he does not have to score? This kind of warning will often have no effect.
There is also a situation where the head coach angrily accuses the referee and asks the players to retaliate with flagrant fouls. This result is even worse. The head coach and the retaliating players are both punished and suspended, playing into others' hands!
Gasperini's method of revenge is known to players such as Marco Rossi and Milanetto who have followed him for the longest time. After all, he is still the general manager of Genoa Club and has dealt with various technical committees and referee committees.
In fact, he can use his identity as the club's general manager to make statements and raise objections, and even make public objections to a certain referee in conjunction with the fans' agreement, including refusing to participate in games refereed by a renamed referee and other fierce words.
"In addition to continuing to rob Totti, there is one more thing, Patton, you have to do this. You don't have a yellow card, even if you get one, it won't matter. And Marco, you too, you
They are also players who are not yellow. The two of you cooperate in the middle, adjust the key defensive direction in the second half, advance the defense line, and strengthen the defense against Pizarro!"
Marcorosi nodded. He understood Gasperini's intention. This was revenge, even a foul against the last name, but this kind of foul was not blind, but targeted the player who was the core of the opponent's tactics, just like in the Roma team.
Pizarro serves as the offensive organizer.
"You two are both veteran players. I don't need to say more about what to do. You have to seize the opportunity and the sense of proportion!" Gasperini's words were meant for Chen Zhuo, Marco.
Rossi already knew that.

"Ruud, Tony, you two may have to play the whole game. At the beginning of the second half, you two will take turns retreating to the midfield. Pay attention to your physical distribution."
Ruud van Nistelrooy and Tony also understood that the yellow cards given by the referee in the first half were all midfielders, Kaladze, Criscito, Dainelli and Veloso. Gasperini will punish them in the second half depending on the situation.
The personnel should be adjusted. Otherwise, if the referee catches someone and gives another yellow card, accumulating yellow cards and being sent off the field, the Genoa team will be even more passive.
After making psychological adjustments, Gasperini emphasized the goal of this game. First, ensure that the goal is not missed. If you can get a point at Roma's home court, that is also a victory! Especially when the referee is biased, being able to hold on
A draw is really good! Therefore, everything is based on solid defense. Ruud van Nistelrooy and Toni took turns to retreat to the middle, pay attention to allocating physical strength, patiently fight a war of attrition with the opponent, and wait until the final stage of the game to make an impact.
"Patton, when Rafinha steps forward, be sure to go to the right. Once there is a gap on the right, jump in from the right!"
This routine is not new. Chen Zhuo moved to the left and right wings and adjusted 3-5-2 to 4-4-2. Genoa had used it in the game and practiced it frequently in training. The players cooperated very well.
Familiar.
"Veloso, pay more attention to distributing the ball to the right! Rafinha takes the ball from the right and cuts in, trying to create a foul in the opponent's frontcourt..."
When the situation cannot be opened up, using personal ability to break through, cause the opponent to foul and obtain a free kick is a common method used by teams with Chen Zhuo to solve problems. This is the case for Hamburg in the past and the current Genoa and Hong Kong teams.
"Ranocchia, Dainelli, Caja, don't think about switching offense and defense in the second half of the defense. Use a sweeping style of play against Roma's offense. Don't let the ball stay at your feet..."
Psychological comfort, emotional release, the way to deal with referees on the field and the technical details of retaliation, as well as the positioning of solid defense and patiently waiting for opportunities in the second half, the specific deployment of both offense and defense, in 15 minutes, Gasperini
Be calm and composed.

Not long after the start of the second half, Totti caught the ball and controlled it. Veloso, who was five or six meters in front of Totti, stood with his arms stretched out and shouted to the referee: "I didn't touch Totti this time!"
The referee was confused for a moment, what was going on, and when he looked again, the three or four Genoa players on the wing and behind were doing this like a dance and shouting, "I didn't touch Totti this time!"
The reporters on the sidelines quickly captured this scene with their cameras as if they were discovering a new world. Such shots are so rare!
The referee was stunned for a moment, and so was Totti. Marco Rossi made a clean tackle and destroyed the ball from Totti's feet. Chen Zhuo quickly caught up with the ball and turned around to control it. Although Totti continued to fall with one touch.
This is the usual practice, but this time the referee hesitated and did not blow the whistle.
As soon as Chen Zhuo turned around with the ball, he was tackled by Pizarro and fell to the ground. The referee did not blow this obvious foul. It seems that the referee's whistle was a 180-degree reversal. There was a problem in the first half.
Not all whistles were blown, and no whistle was blown at all in the second half, as if the whistle had been blown in the first half.
The game continued, but Chen Zhuo ran up to continue the game, but Pizarro failed to get up. Instead, he lay on the ground rolling in pain. From the slow motion, we saw that Chen Zhuo was shoveled by Pizarro, and both of them fell to the ground.
At that moment, Chen Zhuo's elbow stabbed Pizarro's heart heavily. It was unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Pizarro's pain really didn't seem to be fake...
Off the court, Gasperini thought to himself, the execution efficiency of this pattern is really hard to say. (To be continued.)
