Chapter 566: Foul Tactics

Football is the sport that can best release the beauty of male power on the field among men.

But many times, football matches become very intense, and the process is even comparable to men's brave and aggressive war.

In the second half of the Champions League group match held at Anfield Stadium, it became unexpectedly hot less than three minutes into the second half. In less than two hundred seconds, the referee Kassai had already called six fouls.

And five of these fouls came from Shakhtar Donetsk, but despite this, the players of Shakhtar Donetsk did not restrain themselves.

Klopp frowned on the sidelines. He obviously did not expect the opponent's head coach to make such a tactical arrangement.

Liverpool's three forwards were "warmly entertained" by the defenders of Shakhtar Donetsk from the beginning, and Li Qing became the focus of the opponent's captain Stepanenko.

But Li Qing was not affected at all. He used his talent [Dribbling Master] to calmly get rid of Stepanenko's entanglement and passed the ball to Salah.

Salah received the ball and turned around, ready to rush forward, but before he could run, the opponent's defender Butek knocked him to the ground. The referee blew a sharp whistle, but he did not take out a card, just signaling Liverpool to take a free kick in the frontcourt.

The Liverpool stadium stands booed the referee's decision, and Liverpool fans directly booed the referee to express their dissatisfaction.

In their home court, the visiting team committed six consecutive fouls, and the referee did not play a card for any of the fouls. Anyone would feel dissatisfied if he could suppress the temper of the visiting team's players.

In football matches, generally speaking, the referee usually takes care of the home team, but now the referee not only did not take care of the home team, but also encouraged the temper of the visiting team. The situation on the field has already shown signs of changing.

At this moment, Stepanenko, the captain of the Shakhtar team, stole the ball in front of Henderson.

As a member of the Ukrainian national team, although Stepanenko is a defensive midfielder on the field, he is very good at handling the ball and has a strong ability to score. As the captain of the club team, he has always been the initiator of the team's offense in the game.

In the first half, it was Stepanenko's assist that led to Liverpool's loss of the ball, so Henderson, who lost the ball, immediately followed up to defend.

But Stepanenko did not entangle with Henderson at all, and directly passed the ball to Tyson who came to respond.

After Tyson received the ball, Arnold subconsciously approached him. Tyson, who was 1.72 meters tall, looked very thin in front of Arnold, but the Brazilian player was very flexible and turned around quickly. He passed the ball and there was a burst of exclamations from the stands in an instant.

But Li Qing did not let the exclamation last for a long time. He chased up and squeezed Tyson to the sideline. Tyson, who was short and thin, could not take any advantage in front of Li Qing, and his proud speed was also eaten alive by Li Qing.

Soon, Li Qing used his body and speed to push Tyson behind him, and then quickly passed the ball to the defender. Tyson was a little annoyed and signaled to the referee that Li Qing had just pushed him in the confrontation, but the referee ignored him.

Li Qing looked at Tyson with contempt. He had just been defending reasonably, but this guy actually tried to influence the referee. He really thought this was their home court.

At this time, Liverpool began to counterattack. Mane received a pass from the backcourt and quickly approached the left side of the opponent's penalty area, but a defender and midfielder of the opponent had already formed a double team against him. Mane could not cut inside and could only stabilize the ball first and wait for his teammates to come to support.

But there was another person beside Mane at this time. Maicon came behind Mane and stretched his foot directly to grab the ball. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. He kicked Mane's right foot during the grab.

"Ah..." Mane screamed and fell to the ground. At the same time, Maicon hooked the ball and was about to pass the ball when the referee's whistle sounded. Foul!

"What a joke!" Maicon was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision and yelled at the referee directly, but even so, the referee only gave Maicon a verbal warning.

On the side of the court, Klopp frowned even more, and Li Qing ran over to pull up Mane, "How is it, is your foot okay?"

Mane stood up and jumped, and shook his head reluctantly, "It's okay."

Li Qing also frowned, looked back at the opponent's players who had already stood in position, and narrowed his eyes.

The opponent was planning to strictly defend and foul tactics, trying to keep the draw, and then wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.

It must be said that this tactic is very lethal to Liverpool players in this weather. Fifteen minutes into the second half, the score between the two sides remained at one to one, and no one could break the deadlock again.

Liverpool's offense was ineffective under the opponent's foul tactics. The busiest person on the court became the referee, and the sharp whistle sounded almost continuously on the court.

Fouls, frequent fouls. As long as Liverpool players get the ball, the Miners will immediately foul Liverpool players, which makes the game that should be exciting become unwatchable.

The fans in the stands can only see players from both sides falling to the ground, and the players gradually turn into barbarians. In this game atmosphere, only Li Qing is not affected.

But when Li Qing successfully steals the ball from the opponent and rushes towards the opponent's court with the ball, something unexpected happens.

The players of the Shakhtar team actually reached out and pushed Li Qing to the ground while defending.

Li Qing, who was rushing at high speed at that time, lost his balance instantly, fell hard, and slid a long way on the lawn before stopping.

"Shit!"

This foul finally aroused the public outrage of Liverpool players. Firmino and Wijnaldum, who were closest to him, immediately rushed up and questioned the fouling opponent, and the players of the Shakhtar team, not to be outdone, surrounded him.

The scene instantly became chaotic, and the referee's whistle sounded sharply again, but this time no one cared about the referee's whistle.

The referee has not issued a card in the second half so far, and most of the fouls occurred on the visiting team, which made Liverpool players very annoyed.

"Beep..."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the referee Kassai finally took out the first yellow card of the game, but after he took out the yellow card, the whole field was in an uproar.

Because Kassai only signaled the yellow card to Liverpool's Mane, and did not make any penalty to the visiting team.

"Shit, damn referee, what the hell is he trying to do?"

The Liverpool players were furious. The opponent committed a foul, and the home team wanted to seek justice but was given a yellow card. Could this bias be more obvious?

All Liverpool players were fed up. In an instant, blood rushed up and rushed towards the referee. The referee was a little panicked and the situation was about to get out of control.

"Shut up!" Suddenly at this moment, a loud roar came from the field, suppressing almost all the sounds on the field.
