King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 84 The Referee is the Protagonist

For Wei Xun, the first half of the night was undoubtedly boring and sad. He always felt that an annoying mosquito was "buzzing" in his ears. It was not until Pellizoli joined him. Has changed.

The old Mertesacker only wanted to let his son and his friends sleep well, and to maintain a stable performance in the game against Stoke.

Pellizoli, who was already asleep in the arms of the old Mertesacker, just didn’t want his chairman and coach to squat down to guard them so boredly. Even if he was a newcomer, Pellizoli wanted to get some rest for them. time.

"What a nice boy..."

The old Mertesacker helped Pelizoli tuck the blanket, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. Every day when he came to Notts County, the old comrade was very happy.

Notts County and team reporter Peter Walker's sensitive sense of smell once again played a role. He appeared beside Wei Xun trio in a wicked manner, and recorded all the scenes with photos and videos. "What a good team. Ah! There is so much love..."

At dawn, the battle between Notts County and Stoke is about to begin.

The training with the ball on the Stafford University playground can only be said to be unsatisfactory, better than nothing.

In order to cope with the thin artificial turf of the school, Javier and Eric took the players for a long warm-up activity to prevent them from being injured.

Wei Xun and the old Mertesacker went back to the dormitory at this time to make up for their sleep. Wei Xun originally wanted to bring Pellizoli to sleep together, but the child insisted on participating in training. Wei Xun couldn’t hold him back, so he had to agree to him. Up.

Goalkeepers are easily injured when training on artificial grass, especially in the summer when wearing short jerseys.

A simple side flap may rub a large area of ​​skin. Sweating from exercise and dirt on the turf can easily make the wound purulent.

As usual, the team’s breakfast and dinner were urgently transported from the base by Notts County itself. Wang Defu, the general manager of the Wangjianglou restaurant, also specially sent some medicated soup to supplement everyone.

"Master Wang, you still pay attention to..." Wei Xun, who had been sleeping all morning, was sitting in the dining room drinking medicated soup delivered by Wang Defu.

When he was not sleeping well, Wei Xun was in a bad state, unable to eat, but willing to drink some soup. This is Wei Xun's habit, and Wang Defu knows it very well.

"Master, thanks to the care of the master, for so many years, I remember some of your eating habits, and I will bring you lemonade in a while."

"Thank you, Master Wang, the team has made such an incident outside, so you have to worry about it..."

"Where is it, young master, it should be, it should be, the so-called seeking government in his place, this is what I should do, young master, you pay me so much salary every month, I also have to Does it prove that I am worthy of the price?"

...

Wei Xun did not participate in the mobilization meeting before the game for an unprecedented time. He is collating materials with Peter Walker that need to be appealed after the game. He prefers disgusting people to starters.

If it was said that it was made like this by others and needed to be mobilized to bring up a bit of fighting will, then Wei Xun simply gave all the players a piece of watermelon rind, and stepped on the watermelon rind to fall into the pit.

They've been bullied into this way, and I have to give them some color.

Notts County, it's not easy to bully!

At 17:00 on October 20th, the fourteenth round of the English League B began on time at the British Alloy Stadium in the Trent Stoke area.

Wei Xun and his old friend Tony Price sat in the VIP box above the media booth.

Tony was invited before the game, and Wei Xun was not easy to refuse. In the small box, the content of the conversation between the two people was confidential enough and the perspective of watching the game was also very good.

Notts County’s starting lineup for this game has been adjusted to some extent:

Goalkeeper: Benjamin Foster

Defenders: Ram, Barzagli, Chiellini, Aveiroa

Midfielder: Guardiola, Thiago Mota, Sneijder

Forwards: Ribery, Klose, Kuyt

Reina's finger injury did not recover well. After barely coming back, the old injury recurred. Foster got the chance to start again, and Renner was fined £1,000 by the Notts County Club for falsely reporting his injury to the team doctor, as an example.

The British Metals Stadium was full. The game was completely detonated by the pre-match battle between the two sides and Stoke's off-board move. More than 800 Notts County Expedition fans also stood in the visiting team stand to cheer for the team.

The Notts County players who do not need to mobilize at all are destined to vent their anger on this game against Stoke.

Only 9 minutes into the game, Notts County midfielder Thiago Motta broke the deadlock with a four-seater long shot, and it was the team's starting center Klose who provided him with an assist.

"Very beautiful long shot, shocking, shaking the earth and shaking the earth!"

"It's really wonderful, Derek, did you take the time to learn Chinese idioms? Wasn't your commentary in this style before?"

"Haha, keep pace with the times. Ever since I fell in love with Chinese magpie tea, I have been fascinated by Chinese culture. The so-called ignorance does not know, and I am shocked when I learn. That's why Chinese culture is really profound and profound! "

In the 17th minute of the game, Frank Ribery, the star player on the left of Notts County, relied on his speed to eat the Stoke guard, and was forced to fall by the Stoke guard after breaking into the penalty area.

The referee Herlet refused to award a penalty kick and only gave Notts County a set kick.

Boos broke out in an instant, especially in the camp of Notts County fans. The boos from 800 people actually overwhelmed the voices of the home team Stoke fans. Maybe they were guilty?

"Derek, I don't understand why this ball was not awarded a penalty. For such an obvious foul, only a set kick from outside the penalty area was awarded to Notts County."

"Indeed, David, this kind of punishment is really weird. Maybe Mr. Herlette thinks that the place of the first foul is outside the penalty area or the penalty area line..."

Subsequently, Sneijder, under the direction of Guardiola, hit a free kick directly into the stands of Stoke's home court, seeming to vent his dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty.

In the 33rd minute of the game, when Klose was fighting for a header in the penalty area, he was directly brought down by the Stoke guard in the penalty area, but the referee Herlet still did not say anything. He motioned to Klose who was lying on the ground. Get up quickly.

"Tony, I want to ask, isn't this still a card?"

Wei Xun was a little upset. Didn't he never give the FA some money? Isn't a few million pounds not enough? Is this appetite too big? That's how you bully honest people?

"Wei, you have to know that I am only the second in command of the Disciplinary Committee. The real power is not in my hands. To a certain extent, you and I are on the same front. That's why I invited you. Come here and talk about our cooperation, I need your help..."

Tony Price explained his wishes straightforwardly, and Wei Xun also understood what he meant, but he still needs to consider that he does not want to be involved in the mess of the FA.

Soon, the sadly reminded Eric Tynehag was invited to the stand by the referee Helet because he severely smashed the fourth official on the sidelines on the bench.

"Roaring Emperor" Eric Tynehag did not dislike the road far, but went to the visiting stand where the Notts County fans were.

Under the leadership of President David, fans of the official fan club gave Eric Tynehag a heroic applause.

Eric Tynehag also frequently waved and interacted with the fans. The scene was very warm.

Shortly after the start of the second half, the Stoke defender defended Frank Ribery in the penalty area. After being easily passed by the latter, he even used his hand to block Ribery's pass and hit the ball out of the baseline.

"David, this is a very obvious hand movement. I think Mr. Herlette should take out his card. I think at least a penalty should be given..."

"Yes, Derek, look, Mr. Herlette pulled out a yellow card..."

"Wait, David, the referee Mr. Herlet unexpectedly showed Ribery a yellow card and motioned to the Stoke goalkeeper to take a free kick. What's the matter?"

"Oh, God, I just want to ask, Mr. Herlette, did you wear glasses to work today? I think you need to go to the hospital to check your eyesight after the game..."

Notts County’s captain and head coach Guardiola is not happy anymore, "Mr. Referee, at least this should be a penalty, right?"

"You are the referee, am I the referee?"

After putting down these words, the referee Herlette ran away on his own, and once again ignored the complaints of the Notts County players.

Later, when he was about to enter the stoppage time period, the Stoke forward also used a world wave to equalize the score for Stoke, 1-1!

At the 90th minute of the game, the fourth official on the sidelines also announced stoppage time: 7 minutes!

There is no doubt that this is a super long stoppage time.

Wei Xun was sitting on pins and needles at this time, and with the clumsy performance of the referee Herlette, he had a foreboding that something bad would happen!

Stoke got a corner kick in the final time, and all Notts County players have returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

Stoke didn't want to waste this chance of the last attack. Even his goalkeeper broke into the restricted area of ​​Notts County. Twenty-two people squeezed into the restricted area of ​​Notts County, fighting one-on-one.

The corner kick came out and it was a forward point. Balzagli seized the first spot, struggled to block the ball out of the baseline with his chest, and was then pushed to the ground by the opponent forward.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Balzali, who was lying on the ground, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Shet, this dog has not been blind for one time..."

However, the referee Herlet's subsequent operation was a severe slap in the face of Balzali.

"The referee showed a yellow card to Notts County’s main central defender, Balzali, and awarded a penalty kick. He believed that when Balza used his chest to block the ball and hit his hand, Notts County has made a profit... …"

"Sir, sir, please take a closer look. The ball hit here just now, not the arm!"

The anxious coach Guardiola ran for dozens of meters and roared continuously beside Herlette, demonstrating the actions just now, but he was indifferent.

Stoke relied on a highly controversial penalty at the last minute, and their striker scored the ball steadily.

Stoke defeated the visiting Notts County 2-1 at home. The referee, Mr. Herlet, undoubtedly became the protagonist of the game...
