557 The Price of Victory(2/3)
He really didn't expect to pass Williams so easily. It seems that the rumors are not credible.
However, his smile suddenly stopped not long after it appeared.
Because Williams, who he thought had been deceived by him, hooked his right foot very accurately to the ball at Ibrahimovic's feet.
"Ibrahimovic, he lost the ball. He wanted to pass Williams with a simple shake, but unfortunately he forgot that he was facing Williams. That is Williams, that is world football
Williams has the best defensive ability. He thought his skills could easily surpass Williams. In fact, in Williams' eyes, you are just like a clown."
Mortensen laughed at Ibrahimovic without any scruples.
Williams just leaned to the right. It was just a slight tilt of his body. When Ibrahimovic pulled the ball back, Williams' body had already come with him.
Twenty-eight-year-old Williams.
At its peak.
The body is at its peak, the technology is maturing, and the experience is very rich.
And the 23-year-old Ibrahimovic is in his first season in Serie A.
He is very talented, but not fully mature yet.
Of course it was a big disadvantage facing Williams at his peak.
Williams intercepted the ball at Ibrahimovic's feet very accurately.
"Williams, he accelerated past Ibrahimovic...Williams, pass the ball!"
Williams is explosive and powerful. After receiving the ball, he did not immediately clear the ball. That is what ordinary defenders and defensive midfielders think. Williams has been the core of the midfielder for so many years. His first thought when stealing the ball is to counterattack.
Therefore, after he grabbed the ball, he did not pass the ball blindly.
Instead, he suddenly accelerated and ran past Ibrahimovic. In this short period of time, he had already observed the situation on the court, and then made a long pass.
"Robben, this ball was passed to Robben on the left. Williams' pass was very accurate, and Robben's stop was also good. Appiah has already come to help Zebina."
Juventus' defense is very strong.
It's Italy's defense.
Capello is the kind of coach who puts results first, and he is also very experienced in defense. Although Williams' pass was excellent and it was a counterattack, Juventus' defense was not messy at all.
Appiah in the middle is already ready to help Zebina.
After Robben got the ball, he told Speedo without any hesitation.
There was no hesitation just because there were Zebina and Appia in front of them.
"Robben, Robben...accelerate, smash, Robben is back. Breaking through the middle, he is a forced breakthrough. It's in, it's in. It's so beautiful."
Mortensen was even incoherent.
Robben was running at high speed without any pause when facing Zebina. He was ready to continue to break through from the outside. Zebina is an excellent right back.
He would not allow Robben to go around from the outside.
He handed the back to Appiah, and then immediately took up his position to defend Robben.
But when Zebina just moved, Robben made a sudden stop and turned and smashed the ball back. Zebina was shaken over, and there was a slight distance between him and Appiah.
After Robben spiked the ball, he immediately moved the ball to the penalty area, and then suddenly accelerated and ran.
Robben's sudden stop and turn shocked both Zebina and Appiah.
But they are also very powerful characters. They immediately reacted and prepared to defend. But Robben, who was getting up to speed, was no longer something they could stop.
Robben flew in at high speed through the small gap between Zebina and Appiah.
It really flew in.
This series of actions was so exciting. Flying in through the gap between them was beyond everyone's expectations.
Once you enter the restricted area, everything becomes easier.
Robben likes breakthroughs and shots in this position the most.
When Robben entered the penalty area from the left, Cannavaro and Thuram were a little flustered. But before they came to defend Robben, Robben's left foot was already ready to shoot.
Because Robben knows that if he is slow, the opportunity to counterattack will be lost.
Therefore, after entering the penalty area, he immediately shot.
"Robben, he was going to shoot...Robben fell down. Zebina pulled Robben from behind. This is a foul, this is a penalty kick. This is definitely a penalty kick."
Mortensen shouted.
This foul is too obvious.
Zebina is a very good right back. Some people even say that once Zebina goes crazy, he will be the best right back in world football.
But Zebina also occasionally short-circuits during the game. This was the case this time. When he saw Robben humiliating himself and Appiah like this, he immediately turned around and grabbed Robben who was about to shoot.
No normal player would take such an action.
"beep"
This foul is too obvious.
Moreover, the referee was not far away at the time, and his line of sight was not blocked in any way. So he immediately blew the whistle for a foul.
"Penalty kick, this ball is 100% a penalty kick."
There is no doubt about it.
Either the referee doesn't call the ball, which of course is a misjudgment. But once it is called, it is 100% a penalty kick, because the place where Robben fell was close to the penalty spot.
There isn't the slightest bit of controversy.
Even the Juventus players did not protest against the referee's whistle. They all understood that the ball was not controversial at all, it was just a penalty kick.
But the referee's subsequent penalty sent Juventus players and fans into an uproar.
Because after the referee blew the whistle, he came to Zebina and raised the red card high.
Zebina was stunned.
The Juventus players were also stunned.
But they immediately became angry. Zebina was shocked. He first yelled at the referee. Then he ran in front of the referee and kept explaining to him, indicating that his actions were not enough for a red card. Zebina
He thought he had indeed committed a foul, but at most it was a yellow card. Juventus players even surrounded the referee.
They believed that Zebina's action was a yellow card action.
Give a red card. That's too much.
But Slovakia's referee Lubos Michel was not moved at all. Zebina's foul just happened when Robben had already formed a one-shot goal, and it was a red card.
I was very excited to see the Juventus players. Lupos even issued two yellow cards in a row. One was given to Ibrahimovic and the other to Thuram.
Because when they just attacked the referee, Ibrahimovic and Thuram both pushed the referee.
The referee gave them yellow cards and then warned two people.
If they don't disperse as soon as possible, there will be yellow cards waiting for them.
They dispersed under the strong pressure of the referee.
"Red card, this is a red card. Although it is a little stricter, it is absolutely correct. Robben had already formed a breakthrough at that time, and neither Cannavaro nor Thuram guarded it. At that time, Robben was a single player
.Of course in such an important game, the referee can take care of Juventus a little bit."
Strictly speaking, this is indeed a red card.
But Mortensen believes that for the sake of the intensity and enjoyment of the game, a yellow card can be given.
Of course the red card was given, which from Mortensen's point of view was a pleasure.
Look at Chelsea fans.
Chelsea fans saw the referee's red card and immediately cheered.
Su Yun on the sidelines also jumped happily.
red card.
Juventus has one less player.
Okay, great.
Compared to Su Yun, Capello on the other side was furious. He ran to the fourth referee and roared at the fourth referee. However, the fourth referee gave formulaic answers.
This left Capello not knowing what to say.
Fortunately it's Capello.
If some young coach dares to negotiate with the fourth referee with this attitude, what awaits him is very simple. He will be dismissed with a red card.
The Italian commentator was angry.
"This can't be a red card at all. The referee from Slovakia has always officiated in minor leagues. Such a major mistake occurred in such an important game."
The Italian commentator believed that this was a mistake by the Slovak referee.
