I am the king of football

Chapter 219 Conflict and Pressure

The celebration of the entire Manchester United team did not last long, after all, the game had just begun.

But even so, almost half of the team members ran to Qin Hu. They looked at this burly young man with admiration. It was hard to imagine that the breakthrough just now was brought about by him.

After Qin Hu cheerfully signaled everyone to return to their positions, everyone returned to the teeing off position.

Opposite Manchester United, the Newcastle United players had already stood in position. The team lost the ball in such a humiliating way at the beginning. The players were not emotional at this moment but filled with anger.

This is their home court, and more than 40,000 home fans are watching this scene in the stands. If their dignity cannot be restored, the accumulated dissatisfaction of the team's poor performance this season will inevitably reach its peak.

At that time, not only the current head coach of the team will be criticized by public opinion, but all the players present will not be spared.

"Hold on! Hold on! Don't be afraid of physical contact!"

On the pitch, Alan Pardew, who led the Magpies to fifth place in the Premier League last season and won the Premier League Manager of the Year and English League Managers Association Manager of the Year honors, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

The club has shown considerable tolerance towards him during the ups and downs since the start of this season, but if he fails to perform well in the home game against Manchester United, it will be hard to say whether he can still enjoy enough trust from the club, even though his dismissal is still a long way off.

The Magpies players on the field naturally heard the hidden meaning of their coach's words, that is, don't be afraid of physical contact. On the other hand, it means to actively seek physical contact to stop the opponent's attack.

Just like Qin Hu's breakthrough just now, if any of the defensive players had dared to rush forward and committed a tactical foul regardless of the cost of the foul, the goal might not have been lost.

So, as the referee blew the whistle to start the game again, the two sides fought again, and the Magpies players began to execute.

In the seventh minute of the game, the Red Devils once again stole the ball from their opponents. Carrick, who received the ball from Cleverley, made a long pass directly to Shinji Kagawa. The next second, Shinji Kagawa felt what it meant to be soaring in the clouds.

Demba Ba's flying tackle was so fierce and violent that the referee immediately blew the foul whistle and gave Demba Ba a verbal warning.

And this is just the beginning.

In the following twenty minutes, the entire Newcastle United team began to frantically adopt foul tactics with the mentality that I may not be as good as you in terms of technology, but I will definitely not let you feel good in terms of fouls.

During this process, Shinji Kagawa, the core of the Red Devils' frontcourt organization, performed the most embarrassingly, but he was not the player who was violated the most.

As the team's bridgehead at the front and the one who scored the first goal, Qin Hu was forced to pull the ball by two people almost every time he got the ball.

Sometimes Qin Hu would force himself to turn around and take a few steps forward using his physical advantage before choosing to pass the ball, but more often he would be knocked to the ground by his opponent's shark-cutting tactics.

In the 37th minute of the game, he was once again pulled down to the ground by Kabayela behind him, and the accumulated anger finally burst out.

"Thief your mother!"

Qin Hu got up quickly and was no longer willing to tolerate the other party. He pushed Kabaye's forehead and stared at him with angry eyes.

Kabaye wanted to say something to provoke Qin Hu at first, but when he looked into Qin Hu's eyes, the terrifying murderous aura instantly made him open his mouth and groan but couldn't say anything. "Qin, Qin, calm down!"

The veteran Rooney rushed over quickly. He seemed to be trying to stop the fight but he pushed Kabaye away fiercely and then hugged Qin Hu. The other Red Devils players had already been angered by the opponent's unethical foul tactics and quickly swarmed over.

The Magpies players naturally couldn't stand watching their teammate being bullied, so they quickly ran to Kabaye and pretended to rush forward.

"Don't!"

As fate would have it, Kabaye, who was being bullied, became the first person to stop his teammates. He swallowed his saliva and did not let a full-scale conflict break out between the two sides, because he felt that he really could not win.

"Shh! Shh! Calm down!"

The referee finally entered the field at this time. He blew his whistle, ran over and held up a yellow card to Kabaye. The midfielder had been verbally warned once before, and now it seemed that he had to give a real warning.

The referee then walked towards Qin Hu, whose anger had subsided. If Qin Hu had not only butted foreheads with the opponent but had not hit him, he would have surely received a yellow card.

"Control your temper, boy, you don't want to be the victim and get a card, do you?"

"I am very sober referee, I just want to say that if you don't start to deal with their fouls strictly, the development of this game will soon enter another stage!"

"I understand! Now go take your indirect free kicks and don't question me!"

When Qin Hu was speaking, the Manchester United players around him looked at the referee with eyes that were not those of docile lambs. They all made a living in a fierce league like the Premier League, and they all understood the principle that evil needs to be dealt with by evil.

The referee obviously didn't want to make things worse, so he nodded and then forced himself to say that.

"Manchester United players, led by Qin Hu, protested to the referee. I think it's time to deal with the home team's malicious foul, otherwise the referee's whistle would be too biased towards the home team."

Zhan Jun, who was sitting in the commentary booth, also expressed his feelings. When he saw Qin Hu get up and rush towards his opponent, he was very excited and worried. He was excited that a Chinese player could be so domineering and courageous in the international arena, but he was naturally worried about whether Qin Hu would take action and get a card.

But it seems that Qin Hu still remains calm. After his teammates put pressure on the referee, he ran back to his position.

Carrick was responsible for taking the indirect free kick. This time, except for Cleverley and four defenders who were still defending in their own half, all Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt players rushed into the Magpies' penalty area.

Rooney, Qin Hu and Van Persie were lined up in the opponent's penalty area, while Shinji Kagawa ran to the left side of the penalty area.

Prior to this, these players gathered together to discuss for a long time while they were putting pressure on the referee. They were obviously studying how to play this indirect free kick in order to pose the greatest threat to the opponent's goal.

As for Ferguson on the sidelines, when his disciples protested to the referee just now, he also angrily accused the opponent of frequent fouls to the fourth official. At this moment, he was watching the operations of his disciples on the field calmly.
