Born to be a coach [soccer]

As the game progressed, the situation gradually turned against Sunderland.

First of all, Sunderland's main central defender McCartney and captain Garner each received a yellow card, which caused the two to be a little restrained in defense, afraid to make moves, for fear of receiving another card.

But to be honest, these two cards are a bit wronged.It's not that the players didn't commit fouls. McCartney and Garner both committed fouls.Although the referee's scale is tight, it is not too much to give a yellow card.

But the problem is that although the Sunderland players fouled, the Tottenham players made small movements on their hands and feet, pulling the jersey, pushing and so on. The opponent gets angry.As soon as the Sunderland players got angry, their movements were inevitably a bit big, and the referee drew a yellow card.

A yellow card is okay, but Sunderland's defense got two yellow cards in a row, and it was a little tight immediately.Anton frowned, standing on the sidelines, looking at the situation on the field, he already had a premonition that the ball might be lost——

Sure enough, before the end of the first half, Defoe equalized the score for Tottenham, and the two teams returned to the same starting line again.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.Sunderland obviously played very carefully, after all, the two defense generals can no longer make mistakes.This is obviously good news for Tottenham.

But Sunderland's players are not vegetarians. Eriksson and Garner sent precise passes from the backcourt repeatedly. Shaqiri's running position was equally sharp and threatened Tottenham's goal several times, but his luck was bad. So a little bit.Soon the game went on for 60 minutes, and the score was still 1:1.

The atmosphere in the Stadium of Light was tense and tormented. There were still many fans singing and dancing in the stands, like a festival.Now they are all standing anxiously, their eyes closely following the football that comes and goes quickly in the field——

"Oh no--"

With a whistle, the most dramatic scene of the whole game happened.

Tottenham striker Defoe fell in Sunderland's penalty area with a painful expression, and the referee's hand pointed to the penalty spot.It was clearly a Sunderland defender's foul on Defoe, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.

The on-duty referee of today's game was named Webber, and he was nicknamed "Bald Webber". His iconic image was that bald forehead, which could even reflect light under the sunlight.

After Webb called the penalty kick, the entire coaching staff of Sunderland jumped up, and Russell's voice was the loudest, shouting: "No - we touched the ball first, we touched the ball first, this is not a foul!"

Anton and the coaching staff behind him could see it very clearly because of the angle.

When Defoe took the ball just now, two players from Sunderland stepped forward to intercept, but Defoe shook them away.At this time, it was Garner, the captain who returned to defense, stretched out his foot and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.After Garner tackled the ball first, Defoe was tripped by Garner's legs due to inertia, and the whole talent leaned forward and fell to the ground.

Sunderland's entire coaching staff, and even the entire Stadium of Light, were defending the penalty. Only Anton was anxiously calling Garner's name and waving his hands to make Garner run back.But the stadium is so noisy, how can Garner hear it?

Anton instinctively felt that Garner must not compete with Weber at this time.However, Garner, as the captain, is also a technical action made by himself. How could he not argue with reason when encountering such a misjudgment?At this time, he was leading several other Sunderland defensive players around the referee, looking like he was putting pressure on the referee.

At this moment, Webb suddenly took out a yellow card from his pocket and waved it towards Garner.The Sunderland players froze in place as if they had been struck by lightning.

Garner held his head and opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.He could hardly believe his eyes: the referee in front of him not only awarded Sunderland a penalty, but also added a yellow card to him.Two yellows turned into one red, and he was sent off immediately——

There are nearly 10 minutes left in the game, and they will face the situation of playing one less player, not to mention that the opponent will soon have to take a penalty kick.

What the hell did he do?He didn't foul, and didn't he even have the right to defend?

Garner only felt that there was a rumbling sound in his mind, and he couldn't hear anything clearly because of the roar of mountains and tsunami.Tottenham captain Dawson came up and patted him on the shoulder, as if to persuade him to get off the field quickly and not delay the game, which he also couldn't understand.It wasn't until Dawson pointed to the coach's bench on the sidelines that Garner saw Anton waving to him-looking at Anton's gesture, it turned out to be asking him to hand over the captain's armband to Henderson.

Sunderland's captain is Garner, and the team's vice-captain is Richardson, and Richardson didn't even make the squad due to injury.Captain Garner leaves the field to leave the captain's armband to another player on the field.And Anton's request was to hand over the captain's armband to Henderson, a 19-year-old boy.Before this game, Henderson should never have dreamed that he would wear the captain's armband at this moment.

The 19-year-old Henderson put on the captain's armband in a daze.

Garner, with his back to the court, walked into the player tunnel alone.

In the player tunnel, he heard the referee whistle, and it was time for the visiting team to take a penalty kick.Garner suddenly remembered: "We still have Haldosson!" Haldosson who can pounce.

He suddenly wanted to turn around and go back, at least to see his teammates guard the city and try to keep the goal intact.But at this moment, there was a sigh from the stands: "Oh——"

Halldosson is not a panacea either, no goalkeeper can hit consecutive points without a single miss.

Garner sadly lifted his jersey over his head and walked back to the locker room.There, as the captain, he could only watch how his teammates survived the difficult last 30 minutes through TV broadcasts.

Falling behind 1:2 and playing one less player, Sunderland is getting farther and farther away from the game after the FA Cup-unless there is a miracle.

After falling behind 1:2, Henderson held the ball and rushed back to the middle circle to kick off.Before kick-off, he looked at the teammates around him and said, "Hey, brothers, even if we want to lose, we have to lose standing up, not kneeling down! So many fans are watching us, at least we can't let them Disgrace to the Stadium of Light."

So, Sunderland challenged with ten men and blew the horn of counterattack.

However, this is exactly what Tottenham want, leading by one goal, playing one more man, with striker Defoe running like a ghost in the frontcourt, and Bale who is faster than a galloping horse on the left. The corridors are unimpeded.

So Tottenham can comfortably fight back.

At the moment, only Anton is still standing on the sidelines, and Tottenham’s coach, Lao Lei, has already sat back on the coaching bench. His young player career left him with serious knee injuries, so he will not stand on the sidelines unless necessary command.Judging from the current situation on the Tottenham coaching bench, the entire Tottenham coaching staff should feel that it is stable.

In contrast to Sunderland, the team played a little anxiously.

I usually don't feel it when Garner is around, but after Garner's sudden departure, the team's midfield always seems to be missing a link, and the forward movement is no longer smooth.

Anton didn't have many cards for substitutions, and his original substitution plan was based on the premise that Garner was on the field.But now that Garner is not here, no matter how he arranges his troops, he feels that something is wrong.

So, Anton made a gesture to the field - when he directed the Sunderland game for the first time, he made this gesture, but now it is reversed.

So Henderson's position was pushed forward. He replaced Garner and pushed Sunderland's entire formation forward.Of course, this will leave a gap behind Henderson, but this time has come. If you play conservatively, you will lose, and if you play risky, you will lose. It is better to give it a go.

But Sunderland's midfield is dominated by young players. Henderson, Eriksson, Shaqiri... are all young players. They have more chances in the league and less experience in knockout games.Nubel and the others, who were working tirelessly on the side road, were also gradually exhausted, unable to get up to speed.

At this time, Anton replaced Nubel and replaced the young Colbeck on the right side of the road.The red-haired teenager dashed all the way with the ball, passing two Tottenham defenders one after another, seemingly unstoppable.There was a huge cheer and cheers from the entire Stadium of Light, and the fans wished they could replace them with their bodies and rushed to help.

In a blink of an eye, Colbeck has rushed to the frontcourt, pushed the arch of his foot, and distributed the ball to Eriksson who was plugging in beside him.Eriksson raised his foot and shot hard, the ball just barely brushed the goal crossbar and flew out of the baseline-this is an excellent opportunity to equalize the score!There was a loud sigh from the stands, and Eriksson fell on the ground in disappointment and thumped the ground with his hands: The duck in his hand flew away, what will happen...how can Sunderland score a goal!

Anton stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back. He looked very calm on the outside, but he was very nervous in his heart, and even his palms were sweating quietly.Since he took office, because of the opponent's relationship and because of good luck, Sunderland has never encountered such a predicament-one less player, one goal behind, the players are anxious, and they can't score, but he is on the field For the first time, Bian actually felt... helpless?

At this time, the game has entered 80 minutes, Sunderland has less and less time left, and their hope of qualifying for the FA Cup is getting slimmer-unless there is a miracle.

Next, the Tottenham goalkeeper took a goal kick to find Bell.

Bell took the ball, and faked it past Colbeck who came up to intercept him.He started in an instant, feeling that in front of him was an open side corridor, reaching the opponent's goal, and it was bound to lead directly to another victory.

Sunderland's players are also actively returning to defense, but in the case of playing one less player, the entire ribs are obviously vacant.Coupled with Bell's abundant physical strength, no one can stop him at this time, even if he rides the dust and heads for Sunderland's bottom line——

Many Sunderland fans jumped up from their seats with their heads in their hands, and some of them covered their faces and refused to watch.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation happened: the referee, bald Webber, blew his whistle, announcing the temporary suspension of the game.

Bell kicked the ball out of the sideline in a daze, and when he turned around, he saw a little black cat dangling up onto the stadium of light.Several staff members also rushed in, chasing and intercepting the kitten, hoping to catch the kitten or drive it out of the player tunnel.

The Sunderland fans stood up, stretched out their arms together, and started singing their team anthem.

This sudden interruption delayed the opponent's attack and gave Sunderland a chance to breathe. The fans believed that this must be their prayer before the game. Ushered in their Guardian Messenger.

Just as the little black cat was rushing left and right, trying to avoid the staff's encirclement, Anton had already called all the players to the sidelines - he had a hunch that their chance was coming.

The author has something to say: "accidents" such as cats breaking into the field in the game actually happen from time to time.For example, when Everton played against Wolves at home this season, a black cat ran into the field, causing the game to be interrupted for a minute or two.The comments under this video are all shocking such as "Shock! The black cat Sunderland returns to the Premier League!"

Thank you very much everyone for helping the author’s home team build character yesterday (the home team’s game went smoothly last night, but the game next door was full of twists and turns, thrilling, no matter how good a screenwriter is, they can’t write such a script, even someone like me The neutral fans also said that the melons in their hands fell all over the ground...) The next event will be held this Sunday, everyone, please come!
