Felipe Anderson is a Brazilian player with superb footwork. He controlled the ball under his feet. The Wolves players did not dare to rush up easily. Rodri behind him hurriedly filled the space of Alphonso Davies on the left, while Milinkovic pulled to the right side of the Wolves. Immobile was in front of Felipe Anderson on the right.

Kounde directly released the space on the right side of the Wolves to defend Felipe Anderson's cut-in.

But Felipe Anderson swiped the ball, dodged Kounde's legs, and then picked the ball up directly from the ground!

Then, he was like nitrogen accelerated, eating Kounde alive and rushed into the penalty area! ! !

Immobile also found space between Ruben Dias and Maguire on the right and raised his hand. Kounde's peripheral vision glimpsed all this, and he was anxious, and the pulling movement of his hand also became bigger involuntarily.

A push and a pull, when Felipe Anderson was pulled backwards and fell to the ground, Konde's mind went blank.

Beep——

The referee Ovidiu pointed at the penalty spot with one hand and took something out of his chest pocket with the other hand. He found what he was looking for, turned it out, and walked towards Konde.

It was clearly a red card! ! !

"No, this is not a red card action! No!" Konde screamed, and other Wolves players also rushed up to appeal the penalty. But the referee's card was taken out and he would not change the penalty.

He raised the red card high and motioned Konde to leave the field as soon as possible with his left hand.

"You..." Konde's face flushed, and he pointed at the referee and wanted to say something, but was immediately pulled away by Rodri, who was wearing the captain's armband, "You go down and rest first." After that, he dispersed the crowd and walked towards the referee to negotiate to prevent the referee from issuing more cards.

"Is this really a red card?" Rodri asked with a frown.

The referee Ovidiu wrote down Kounde's name and number on the record paper in his hand. He looked up and saw that it was the captain Rodri who came to negotiate. The other party seemed to be very calm, so he explained, "Yes, his pulling behavior was intentional, and objectively blocked a very threatening offensive opportunity. You should agree with this."

"Is it a bit too harsh?"

"Not like that, it's just following the rules." Ovidiu looked up at Rodri, who sighed and made way. Ovidiu walked to the penalty spot with the ball.

Martinez said harshly as always, "Look, I'll save it for you!"

But when he tried to find Immobile's eyes, he saw the Italian shooter looking straight at him without hesitation. His heart tightened and he felt that something bad was going to happen. This is the kind of player who is not easily affected.

In the end, he did not interfere with Immobile, who shot the ball into the upper left corner of the goal and scored without any surprise, while Martinez rushed to the right side of the goal without judging the direction.

The first goal itself did not break the Wolves' fighting spirit, but the lack of a player at the beginning of the first half caused a lot of trouble for the Wolves.

Alphonso Davies is very guilty now, because he knows that he should have been in his position, and now Kounde's foul is purely to help him fill the position. If there is one more person in the backcourt defense, everything will probably be better.

"After going up, your task is to defend. You don't need to advance or retract. Just defending is enough." Wei Le just talked to Doherty for a few words, and the fourth official began to urge him, and he had to send Doherty directly to the court.

Fortunately, it was not long after the start of the game, and Doherty's physical condition was still "hot", and he did not cool down because of sitting for a long time after warming up. Doherty was ready on the sidelines, and Wei Le looked at the players on the court and was in trouble.

"Change... change Almiron." Wei Le gritted his teeth and made a decision to withdraw the team's right winger.

But this substitution was purely passive. Therefore, when Almiron came down, he could not hide his disappointment. He just symbolically clapped his hands with Wei Le and walked back to the bench, and did not take the water and towel handed over by other team staff.

Wei Le was also anxious now, and he couldn't be patient to coax Almiron for a while. He was still observing the situation on the field. After the Wolves sent one person off, Lazio players seemed to be in high spirits, and waves of them rushed to the Wolves' defense line.

Shots were shot one after another, Immobile, Milinkovic, and Felipe Anderson's shots were getting closer and closer to the target, and Martinez was under increasing pressure.

In the 40th minute, Wei Le had just comforted the depressed Almiron and coaxed the young man. When he turned around, he found cheers.

What happened?

Mistakes in a hurry! MartinezWhen Dinnes passed the ball from the backcourt, he seemed to have forgotten that the team's right winger had been replaced, and he still passed the ball to the right frontcourt.

The ball was directly taken by the Lazio players, and then quickly passed to the midfield. Because it was a goal kick for Wolves, the players pressed forward, and the backcourt was empty again!

Felipe Anderson is here again! But this time he is facing Doherty.

The experienced English right back was directly thrown away. After the Brazilian striker received the ball, he seemed to have played the ball alive. A change of direction and a pull ball shook the space, and then a fried meatball broke through.

"Stop him!" Martinez shouted anxiously.

Rodri made up for the defense, but his steal could not touch Anderson's ball. The Brazilian player had a low center of gravity and a strong body. He was not thin at all. He never lost his balance under Rodri's impact.

At this time, Ruben Dias came up and tried to double-team, but he didn't stop it.

"Are you playing against Ronaldinho?"

"Milinkovic!" Felipe Anderson passed the ball horizontally and handed it to Milinkovic who joined the attack. The latter passed the ball from the left to the right.

"Luis Alberto!"

The Spanish midfielder who once played for Liverpool stretched his legs to catch the ball, and without talking nonsense with Alphonso Davis, he passed the ball directly to the center of the penalty area.

There, Immobile didn't know when he had run to the position. He went behind Maguire and got the ball less than ten meters away from the goal!

"Immobile's shot!!! The ball went in!!!"

The Wolves players raised their arms to indicate that the ball was offside, but the linesman just ran back without any reaction. The cheers and shouts of the Blue Eagles' supporters echoed in the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

It was 40 minutes now, and the first half of the game was about to end.

And the Wolves players had only confusion in their eyes.
