Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 375 In the Name of Evil
With the morale of 16 consecutive victories, Manchester United moved to Upton Park to challenge West Ham United.

Manchester United launched an offensive with great morale at the beginning and scored a goal in the 14th minute. Cristiano Ronaldo received a cross from Giggs in the penalty area and scored with a header to help the team take the lead.After taking the lead, Manchester United continued to strengthen their offense and moved towards a 16-game winning streak.

However, an accident happened in the 19th minute when Fletcher was knocked down by West Ham United midfielder Solano.

This was a flagrant foul, but the referee didn't say anything, not even a verbal warning.This unfair penalty angered Manchester United players.

They surrounded the referee one after another, hoping to get a fair treatment.

However, the referee insisted on his own opinion, and after dispersing the Manchester United players, the game continued.

Misjudgment is part of competitive sports, and professional players understand it.

But at certain moments, it is difficult for them to convince themselves in their hearts.

And the referee's penalty, to some extent, changed direction and encouraged the West Ham players.Their actions in defense became a lot rougher, and they frequently used fouls to contain Manchester United's offense.

Manchester United is not a good baby who can be kneaded by others, they also have a fiery temper.After a streak of offensive failures, they retaliated on defense.For a while, the rough actions continued on the field, which made the football game lose its own meaning.

As soon as the regular time of the first half came, the referee stopped the game directly.

If there is stoppage time for injury, he is afraid that he will directly stage a full-scale martial arts on the court.

But the 15 minutes of intermission did not calm down the players on both sides.

At the beginning of the second half, Fletcher launched a retaliatory foul at the front of the penalty area. The sliding tackle directly overturned Solano and received a yellow card.

After Solano insisted on finishing the free kick, he couldn't insist on the game and was replaced.

Immediately, there was a lot of curses in Upton Park, where angry West Ham fans condemned Fletcher.What's more, he directly threw some sundries in his hands into the field, causing the game to be interrupted for several minutes.

The game continued after the security guards removed the fans who were throwing objects.

But at this time the referee could no longer control the game.

In the 57th minute, Yu Liang made a flying shovel in the defense and directly shoveled Panthill, who had just replaced Solano, and was sent off with a red card.

Facing the referee's red card, Yu Liang was indignant.

But instead of complaining endlessly, he spit at the referee and left the court without looking back.

In the past few days, Yu Liang has been thinking about the meaning of what Roy Keane said to him after the game.

Andy Welsh talked to him about similar issues in Antwerp, but he has improved a lot since returning to Manchester.Confrontation, although his body is not particularly strong, but now it is enough to deal with the impact of ordinary players.

But the defense is fierce, and Yu Liang still doesn't fully understand it.In his opinion, fierce defense is a price to be paid, just like his shovel just now. Obviously, this is not in line with the interests and image of a professional player.

Yu Liang was sent off and Manchester United fell into a passive position. West Ham United took advantage of this opportunity to use a corner kick to score an equalizer goal. It was Anton Ferdinand, brother of Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who scored the goal .

Anton Ferdinand's goal set off a counterattack wave for West Ham United.

In the 82nd minute, Carrick, who came off the bench, fouled at the front of the penalty area and gave the opponent a free kick.

The West Ham United player took a free kick in the frontcourt, and Upson overwhelmed Brown in the penalty area to complete the header and overtook the score 2-1.

This score was maintained until the end of the game, and Manchester United reaped a defeat, fixing the longest winning streak in the Premier League at 16 games.

Arsenal's players breathed a sigh of relief as Manchester United's 16 wins came to an abrupt end.

After being tied by Newcastle, they only achieved 4 wins, 2 draw and 1 loss in 1 rounds, and they are seven points behind Manchester United in the standings.Now Manchester United lost, giving them a chance to close the gap.

Not being able to continue the victory, Ferguson is of course in a bad mood, but what made him even more upset was the referee's actions in the game.He believes that they failed to achieve 17 consecutive victories, and all the responsibilities are on the referee. If the referee can control the game well, they can easily defeat their opponents.

"It is a foolish act of the FA to ask him to enforce the law!"

In the post-match press conference, not only Ferguson, but also West Ham coach Aaron Kirbishley slammed the referee.

"His punishment is simply ****!"

After the game, Kirbishley got the exact news that Panthill, who was shoveled by Yu Liang, will miss the game for a month, and Solano, who was shoveled by Fletcher before, will be absent for 6 weeks, losing two players at once. General, an angry Kirbishley yelled at the post-match press conference, "Carrick, Fletcher should have received a red card for his foul, and he received a red card like Yu Liang! They are hateful executioners. They are not Playing football, not playing football!"

For Kobishley's attack, Ferguson did not make a positive response. He had nothing to say about Yu Liang's red card, but criticized the quality of West Ham United fans.Claiming that the next time they visit Upton Park, they hope the FA will approve them to wear helmets to participate in the game.

After one-sidedly hitting back at Kirbishley, Ferguson did not express any views on the matter. After returning to Manchester, they immediately threw themselves into intense preparations.

At this time, the Football Association's punishment for Yu Liang also came down. He was suspended for one game with a red card, suspended for two games for spitting on the referee, and fined 5000 pounds.

After receiving the fine, Yu Liang handed in the fine easily and happily.

After this exhausting schedule, and now being suspended from the competition all of a sudden, Yu Liang can finally take a good breath.After taking two days off with Ferguson, Yu Liang flew directly to London to spend New Year's Eve with Agnes.After spending a week in London, Yu Liang returned to Manchester to continue training with the team.

In the three games that Yu Liang was absent, Manchester United defeated Birmingham, Newcastle and Reading respectively, winning three consecutive victories.

A week after the victory over Reading, Yu Liang, who was lifted, appeared in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Manchester United host Tottenham.

Yu Liang, who came back from the ban, was in a brave state. Less than 20 minutes into the first half, he completed a steal in the frontcourt and assisted Tevez to score.In addition to his excellent performance on the offensive end, on the defensive end, Yu Liang's crazy press and fierce defense made the Tottenham players frightened, directly crippled two Tottenham players, and helped the team beat the team 3-1. The opponent successfully advanced.

However, Yu Liang's fierce defense paid the price again. In the 83rd minute, two yellows turned one red, and he missed the fifth round of the FA Cup.

He received red cards in two consecutive matches and three players were crippled. Immediately after the match, the media called Yu Liang a villain.

In fact, in the first few games of Yu Liang's return to Manchester United, he became known as a villain.But in the subsequent games, Yu Liang showed his gentlemanly demeanor, and his reputation as a villain gradually faded.

Now that he has received two red cards in a row, the good media have brought Yu Liang's previous fierce defense to the public again.But compared to before, Yu Liang now seems to be even more hateful.

The "hateful" Yu Liang was finally able to feel the benefits of being a villain in the game against Portsmouth.

He came off the bench, as long as he made a shovel action when defending, the Portsmouth players basically passed the ball out and walked around him immediately. 2-0, Manchester United defeated the visiting Portsmouth and achieved four consecutive victories.
