Real Madrid fans would probably feel relieved to see Torres fall.
Torres was produced by Atletico Madrid. He rejected the invitation from Real Madrid's youth training and went to Atletico Madrid. Later he moved to Liverpool and made rapid progress. Let’s not talk about the little tricks in the derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
He became famous in Liverpool, and now Real Madrid fans have mixed feelings when they see this Spanish golden boy in club games!
Andy exclaimed: "Pepe's kick! It all depends on whether the referee will give it some respect!"
Richard analyzed: "This referee's style of enforcement is not strict. I think we should be more concerned about the safety of the linesman now."
oh! That linesman really got into trouble! God, is he okay?
The referee ran over to ask the linesman about his condition, and the linesman said that he was not feeling well.
But he can still hold on. In this situation, he will definitely not give up. This is the Champions League, and it’s a knockout round. Every linesman who has reached this point will not give up such a good opportunity to build his resume!
He stood up with his teeth bared and his facial expression distorted.
Pepe hurried forward, put his hands on the referee's shoulders, and looked sincere.
The fans automatically translated for him:
"Pepe: I was wrong, brother. I just touched them casually and they fell down."
"Pepe: Please give me another chance, referee. I love you!"
The referee warned him but didn't take out a card.
The linesman gritted his teeth and persisted, but he soon couldn't hold on any longer. Anfield might have defeated him today.
The camera was still following the players of the two teams who were passing the ball and fighting for the ball seriously. Pepe was still following Torres. He had no choice. The task assigned to him by the coach was to keep a close eye on Torres and Gerrard.
Although Torres blushes easily, he has a lot of thoughts on his mind.
Ivan continued to analyze calmly. He roughly saw Torres' intention. Torres wanted to pull Pepe away. The entire Real Madrid defense was dispersed. Central defender Cannavaro had to deal with Gerrard, who could fight and pass, and Kuyt, who could shoot anytime and anywhere, alone. His pressure suddenly increased.
Sometimes small central defenders really can't afford to get hurt, especially when facing tough English players.
Torres received the ball again and Pepe wanted to mess with him. This time Torres learned his lesson because Pepe's kick before hurt him so much.
Fans who like Torres are still discussing the fall he just made involving both the referee and the opponent.
The little guy fell pretty badly, and he was lying on his stomach with his whole body prostrated on the ground, with no image at all. But from this posture... his butt is still pretty sticky...
He dodged when Pepe kicked the ball. Torres watched carefully. Since his teammates had not found the right position this time and it was not easy to pass the ball at this angle, he just let Pepe kick the ball out of bounds. The ball was still theirs.
However, when he dodged, he was fine, but someone else was in trouble.
——It’s still that unlucky linesman.
Pepe looked confused. He was still happy that he had cleared the ball well and perfectly avoided the tackle, but why did the linesman fall down again? !
They are clearly still some distance away from the sideline!
"Oh my God!" Andy exclaimed, "Pepe's clearance hit the linesman's head!"
Richard also shouted: "Pepe's move was just blocked by Torres, the linesman didn't see it clearly, couldn't dodge in time, and was hit by the ball directly!"
"Poor linesman!"
The fourth official on the sidelines quickly ran over and the referee also came over. The team doctors of both teams came forward to help check.
Oh, the poor guy was knocked unconscious. They opened his eyelids and looked, and they were afraid that he had a concussion!
Pepe covered his face in horror, he didn't mean it!
The referee looked at him speechlessly. He really didn't do it on purpose. He didn't commit any foul, so there was no way to give him a card.
Ramos and others patted his shoulder hesitantly and said, "Take it easy, brother. You are the backbone of our defense."
Torres was also confused, he had never expected such a development.
The two commentators lamented that Pepe was worthy of being the No. 1 warrior monk in La Liga, as he even did not let the linesman go. The fans' messages on the message board reminded them.
Richard yelled, "The linesman was rushed to the hospital! His position is now vacant! Oh! The substitute assistant referee is Ivan!"
The camera was generous this time, it was directed towards Ivan on the Real Madrid half.
He was taking off his vest when a stadium attendant handed him the still-warm flag that he had taken from the hapless linesman.
He was also a little bit unbelieving. If the probability of a referee making a substitution due to a strain was only a few times a season, then making a substitution due to a player being knocked unconscious by the ball was probably even rarer.
Message board screen:
"Ahhhh, what kind of physique does Alvin have? How can he achieve it just by saying it?"
“God is helping him!”
"Irvine's fans are very satisfied."
"God bless that linesman, I hope he's OK!"
“Same hope.”
"Thanks to Pepe by the way."
"Although I also want to thank him, isn't this a bad idea?"
“It feels like a large group of onlookers are approaching.”
That’s right, Sky Sports’ ratings are up again at the moment!
At this time, all the players who had met Ivan but had not noticed him saw him. Casillas had reservations. His mind was now filled with only thoughts on commanding the defense and catching the ball.
When Raul saw Ivan, he remembered the No. 29 jersey that Igor had snatched away.
I hope they can find the rhythm as soon as possible and win this game.
Ivan stretched his body on the sidelines, and the referee blew the whistle again and announced that the game would continue.
The commentators continued with the previous topic. They sighed at Pepe and expressed reservations about his blindly following Torres: "This is not very safe. You know, Liverpool has more than one Torres who can score goals."
"Yes, Kuyt and Babel on the wing are both center forwards, and Gerrard is also very good at getting forward."
The pace on the court is very fast, and Ivan needs to get into the game as soon as possible.
Liverpool hardly defended, they picked up the pace and it was a very exciting scene for the fans.
The number of people watching the game continues to rise.
Real Madrid's attack was cleared, the ball was kicked out by Reina, Cannavaro received the ball and passed it to Ramos.
Ramos is still observing the situation and thinking about who to pass the ball to.
He didn't notice that there were malicious footsteps approaching from behind!
No one saw it except Alvin.
Ivan followed the ball. The ball was with Ramos, so he ran to that position. This was the near end and he could see it very clearly.
Then he watched silently, silently as Torres intercepted the ball from behind and passed it to his teammate when Ramos was not paying attention.
Ramos lowered his head: “…” Damn! Where's the ball!
I turned around and saw, oh shit, it's you again!
The message board was filled with laughter:
"Hahahaha water toto!"
"To be honest, Torres has the potential to be a defender!"
"The high-priced parallel import Ramos is confused!"
"Kassi's father's heart is bleeding. I want a striker who has the potential to be a defender, not a defender who loves to be a striker!"
"It's okay, we are all Spanish, just be nice, hahaha!"
Andy's voice rang out: "In the midfield, Real Madrid made a mistake!"
Richard: "Liverpool passed the ball back to Reina, who passed it to his teammate, who kicked the ball to the front court!"
“Good opportunity!!!”
The linesman over there was still in the midfield, but he was running like a dog. Damn, this ball was flying so damn fast! The job of the Champions League is not easy to take!
Ivan's side is at the far end, and his current position is even farther away from Real Madrid's half, but he reacted quickly. The moment the ball was kicked out, he ran towards Real Madrid's half.
Everyone at Anfield stood up!
Is there any hope for this ball? Is there any? !
The ball went straight to Kuyt on the right!
Torres ran up! Two people protected the ball and moved towards the penalty area together!
Gerrard also ran up to meet him!
Casillas' heart skipped a beat, it's bad!
This is Real Madrid's penalty area. Why are there more players wearing red jerseys than white jerseys? !
Cannavaro slipped and fell to the ground! Ramos on the farther left and Heinze and Gago behind him were all too late!
Andy yelled: "This ball is not offside! Absolutely not! Real Madrid is in danger! They only have one defender left, while Liverpool has three offensive players!"
Almost everyone was in despair. Some Real Madrid fans have covered their eyes and dared not watch.
As expected, the ball could not be saved and Pepe fell down. Casillas tried his best, but he alone could not beat the three top forwards.
"Inside the penalty area, Kuyt made a cross pass in front of the goal, beautiful!! Golden boy Torres!!! Goooooooooal~~~~~~~ Kuyt assisted Torres and they successfully scored!"
They fouled on this ball! Casillas didn't even look at the situation inside the goal. There was no need to look, the ball had obviously gone in, so there was no point in looking.
He is the goalkeeper, and he can see this position very clearly! Pepe was pulled down by Torres!
These cunning Liverpool players! They use their numbers to bully the minority! They are just bullying!
Torres runs to the corner! He jumped happily, his cheeks flushed, he put his hands on his shoulders and grabbed his jersey!
His teammates followed, and they couldn't wait to hug Torres, who ran along the sideline that Ivan was responsible for with his arms open!
Torres faced Ivan and saw him. Although the other party was now the linesman, that did not prevent him from expressing his joy to everyone!
He looked at Ivan eagerly. He had improved and grown a lot, and his control over the game was gradually increasing. He and Ivan rose to fame in the Premier League at similar times, both in 2007.
He was always hurt on the road to growing up. Although they were not serious, the accumulation of them was enough to make him uncomfortable. He felt very sorry for Ivan's retirement due to injury, which hurt himself. He felt uncomfortable for several days when the other party retired.
Their original relationship was one of both rivalry and friendship, a healthy competition between two golden boys. He is very surprised that he can still see him on the court now!
He has already thought about it! After the game, they won a beautiful victory and he wanted to find Ivan to exchange jerseys!
But the object of his intense gaze was not looking at him.
Ivan looked expressionlessly at the Real Madrid players who were still arguing with the referee.
He was at the far end, farther away from where Pepe fell than the linesman, but he still saw Pepe being pulled down by Torres. When he was pulled down, he was in the front and very close to the ball. He could kick the ball out of bounds with just one kick!
In this way, at most Real Madrid would get a corner kick instead of conceding a goal directly.
The referee called the nearest linesman and asked him if he had seen what had happened.
The linesman ran over there grunting, but his angle was blocked by Kuyt, and the referee's sight was also blocked by Gerrard and Babel, so neither of them saw Torres' little move.
He didn't dare to jump to conclusions about things he was not sure about. He can't bear this responsibility. In the Champions League knockout stage, every goal counts. He could only give a conservative answer.
The referee saw that the linesman was being vague, and he no longer had the patience to listen to the arguments of the Real Madrid players. Offensive players were already in an advantageous position compared to defensive players. Who knew if Pepe fell down because he saw that he couldn't defend himself, and tried to take advantage of the opportunity to cheat the goal?
As for Ivan who was further away, he didn't even bother asking for his opinion. Firstly, he was far away, and secondly, he knew that it was the substitute assistant referee's first time experiencing the Champions League, and his head was probably so excited that he couldn't stay awake at all! I don’t even know if he’s keeping up with the pace of the game!
Casillas noticed that the referee was about to blow the whistle to declare the goal valid, so he quickly stopped the opponent. Before the referee made any decision, there was still room for reversal. And once the other party makes a decision, even if he eventually realizes that the decision is wrong, he will never change it!
Because the referee's authority cannot be challenged!
The Real Madrid goalkeeper held on to his last hope and asked the referee to ask the other linesman for his opinion.
The referee said in a bad tone: "Sir, if you have any questions, please report to UEFA after the game. The game has to continue now. You have wasted too much time."
"No!" The Real Madrid goalkeeper was still trying, "Can you please check with the other linesman? I promise it won't take up too much time!"
Ramos and others chimed in: "Yes, yes, ten seconds, just ten seconds!"
Pepe looked aggrieved. Don’t defenders have human rights? Can't a defender wrestle when he's defending and threatening the offense? Why!
The Liverpool players who had just finished celebrating saw that the referee was still hesitating and immediately stopped. They gathered around.
"What's wrong? Mr. Referee? There is absolutely no problem with this goal!"
"Yes, what a great goal!"
Torres on this side looked at Ivan hesitantly, but finally said nothing and silently joined the team striving for a goal.
While they were arguing, the TV had already replayed the video several times.
The playback was deliberately paused just to allow the audience to see more clearly!
Torres did reach out and pull down Pepe who was about to kick the ball out of the sideline!
"This goal...actually there is absolutely no problem for the referee to whistle it in." Andy hesitated.
Richard also said: "Yes, it is advantageous for the offense. As long as the offensive players do not make big moves."
The author has something to say: Let me explain, in case the little angels may not understand.
On the field, there is a referee and two linesmen, one on each side. A fourth official who is not responsible for watching fouls but is responsible for watching the head coach and holding up a sign. These four are the ones who actually took the stage. There is also a substitute assistant referee who basically has no chance to play unless one of the four official referees encounters an unexpected situation.
To make it easier for everyone to understand, I hand-drew a picture to explain the near end and the far end, and by the way, vividly (?) reproduce Toni's wonderful goal, and let everyone feel the despair of Casillas' father.
PC version can see
Okay, the green, white and black lecture hall is open.
You should be able to see the names clearly, right? The one running on the bottom sideline is Ivan. At this time, the offensive player and the ball are on the right side of the penalty area, far away from Ivan. For Ivan, it is the far end, but for the linesman on the line above, it is the near end.
Did you see that? The referee and the linesman's vision was blocked. The one lying on the ground was Cannavaro, and Ramos was defending with his eyes.
The red ones are Liverpool players. Do you feel Casillas' despair?
