Chapter 424 If you can’t solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem!
Qualifying for the Champions League group stage should be a matter of course for Europe's giants.

However, for Manchester United, it is a solid step towards revival!
At the post-match press conference, Mourinho responded to reporters' questions with a famous quote that was destined to spread throughout the football world the next day:

“We are on the right path to revival!”

In order to reward the players for their outstanding performance and fighting spirit on the field, on the night of the victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach, Mourinho publicly announced that tomorrow would be a day off!
Top of the league
Champions League group stage
The team's core players Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic and others performed well.
Witnessing the tremendous changes in the team, it is hard for Manchester United fans not to look forward to the future of the team's revival.

However, too many people are not used to the boring drama of riding away from the crowd.
After returning to Manchester from Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Red Devils, with a relaxed atmosphere within the team, returned to their league home ground, the Theatre of Dreams, to accept the challenge of the "Hammers" West Ham United.

Last season, thanks to the outstanding performance of the team's main player Payet, West Ham United finished seventh in the league and almost qualified for the European Cup.

Even so, this ranking still tied the team's best league ranking in the 2001-02 season.

In the summer transfer window, West Ham United, aiming to qualify for the European competition, also made major reinforcements.

Signed Swansea winger Andre Ayew, officially bought out Argentine midfielder Lanzini, purchased Olympiacos left back Masuaku, signed Algerian international Feghouli for free, loaned Juventus striker Zaza and Manchester United midfielder Fletcher
With the addition of players such as Payet and Antonio, the lineup has become even more

The Hammers are gearing up for a big performance in the new season.

However, the schedule is

They suffered a head-on blow from Chelsea in the first round of the league. Although they won the second round, they were slaughtered again by Manchester City in the third round.

Immediately afterwards, they lost to Watford, West Bromwich Albion and Southampton in succession, ushering in a streak of four consecutive defeats!

Although starting from the seventh round, there was a wave of two wins and one draw, and the form briefly recovered.

However, West Ham United's form is worrying.

Especially the last round's offensive battle with Tottenham, the loss was even more regrettable.

The defense was full of loopholes, which eventually led to the team being defeated by a penalty kick on the road.

According to statistics, the Hammers only beat Crystal Palace in eight away games in all competitions in the new season!
After twelve rounds, West Ham United ranked 17th in the league, just one point above the relegation zone.

In comparison, Manchester United's record at home this season cannot be said to be bad.

In all competitions, they only lost to Barcelona in the Champions League group stage.

In the league, the Red Devils still maintain their unbeaten streak at home!
Therefore, before the game, most of the bookmakers and media predicted that Manchester United would be able to win the game at home.

Even though Manchester United made a certain degree of rotation, Kante, who played almost every game, was given a rest.

However, Ling Feng, as the core of the team, still started!
All Manchester United fans will feel reassured when they see the dark-haired young man walking into the stadium at the end of the queue and waving to the fans.

Steady!

You know, Ling Feng’s winning rate as a starter this season is as high as 95%!
Only lost to Barcelona.

But West Ham United, is it Barcelona? !
However, what no one expected was that the plot of this game would take such an unexpected turn!
In the 23rd minute of the first half of the game, Ling Feng received a cross from Rooney and scored a goal outside the penalty area, breaking the deadlock.

Thus, he unlocked the [Premier League 21 Goals] achievement, and at the age of 180 years and days, he became the youngest player in Premier League history to score goals!
Despite this, the Red Devils' No. 7, who broke another record in the Premier League, still did not become the protagonist of this game.

Because a bald guy stole all the limelight of the entire game.

That is Anthony Taylor, one of the "Fantastic Four Blind Men" in the Premier League!

When the game reached the 37th minute, Payet broke through the ball on the left side of the penalty area, then made a feint and dribbled past Valencia, but found that the ball seemed to be a little out of his control.

He made a quick decision and raised his leg to hit Valencia's foot!
With a scream of "Ah", Payet fell in the penalty area.

The referee Anthony Taylor, who was not far away, blew the whistle very decisively and pointed to the penalty spot!

"He's diving!"

"He bumped into me!"

"I didn't touch him at all!"

However, in the face of the protests of Manchester United players, Anthony Taylor directly showed a yellow card to the most excited Valencia, and then forcefully drove away the Manchester United players who surrounded him.

Seeing that his protests were futile, Rooney had no choice but to persuade his teammates to calm down and accept this shitty fact.

Payet, standing on the penalty spot, scored in one fell swoop and equalized the score!

And this was not the only controversial decision made by Anthony Taylor in this game.

The scale of this game is very relaxed.

Many times, he did not whistle for the opponents' tackles and violations on Ling Feng, and even thought they were normal collisions and tackling actions.

Such biased whistle seems to encourage confrontation.

But those who don’t know might think this is West Ham United’s home ground!

When the first half of the game ended, fans in the stands could see that Ling Feng, who was receiving special attention, was almost covered in grass clippings!
Throughout the first half, Ling Feng alone was violated as many as ten times.

And West Ham United only got a yellow card!
During the half-time break, Mourinho also "stopped" the referee in the player channel to communicate with him about the penalties in the first half.

Even so, it only made Anthony Taylor restrain himself a little.

Ling Feng, who continued to be roughly violated by his opponent, climbed up from the grass again and again.

If he hadn't added all the attribute points he had gained during this period to [Balance] and [Strength], and his own [Constitution] was sufficient, he would have been defeated by his opponent long ago!
Under the influence of the referee's penalty, Manchester United players made many unforced errors.

West Ham United seized the opportunity of a corner kick in the frontcourt, and Feghouli shot into the goal amid the melee in the crowd, overtaking the score again!

Looking at the West Ham players celebrating wildly, the Manchester United players also looked helpless or confused.

Only Ling Feng frowned and began to think of a countermeasure.

The problem they face now is the referee blowing the whistle wrong.

So, how do they solve this problem?
In the 72nd minute of the second half, Ling Feng got rid of the defense in the middle and made a precise pass, assisting Lingard to score.

But just as Lingard was celebrating wildly, the linesman raised the flag in his hand.

The referee Anthony Taylor also made the following decision:

Offside, goal invalid!
This time, Mourinho, who was already very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, exploded directly!
"Fake!"

"This is a damn good shot!"

“You are committing a crime!!!”

He was extremely furious. Not only was he punching and roaring, he also kicked the water bottle at his feet away.

No wonder Mourinho is so excited.

After all, if this goal was blown off, they would still be one goal behind.

In order to get three points, they must score two goals in less than twenty minutes to make a comeback!

Unfortunately, this wave of anger was also seen by the fourth official.

Anthony Taylor seemed to have finally found an opportunity. He blew the whistle to stop the game and quickly walked to the sidelines.

Then he took out a ruby ​​victory card, raised his right hand, and sent Mourinho to the stands! Facing this penalty, Mourinho laughed in anger, and applauded Anthony Taylor directly, and began to mock the FA's best black glove:

"Good job!"

"That's it!"

At the same time, tens of thousands of fans at Old Trafford also booed.

At this moment, every Manchester United fan and supporter can see that the referee came with a mission today!

"Damn the FA!"

"Fuck! The referee whistled unfairly!"

Yes.

Seeing Manchester United invincible in the league, the English Football Association, as the super villain and the director of the Premier League, couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out at the right time:
It doesn't matter, I will take action!

The original script was designed to be a battle among the Premier League teams for the championship.

You, a fallen Red Devil, actually dare to add your own drama without following the script?

If I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know who is the boss in the Premier League!

Faced with this penalty, not only the Manchester United players on the field, but even the players on the bench could not stand it. They surrounded Anthony Taylor again and were determined to ask him for an explanation.

However, Anthony Taylor, who had the support of the English Football Association, was very tough and directly gave a yellow card to Rooney and Fellaini, who were more emotional!
Ling Feng did not participate, but just stood aside, with his hands on his hips, staring at Anthony Taylor's bald head with interest.

Okay, okay, you're doing this again, huh?!

With the remaining twenty minutes, Manchester United could only continue the game without the head coach.

As time passed, all West Ham United players retreated to their own half, trying to use the bus parking tactic to take away the precious three points at Old Trafford.

The home team fans in the stands looked at the scoreboard which still showed "1:2" and became more and more anxious.

Just when everyone thought that West Ham United could really take away the dream three points at the Theatre of Dreams, something strange happened!
In the 83rd minute of the game, Manchester United took control of the ball.

Phil Jones passed the ball to Ling Feng who retreated to receive the ball, and Ling Feng turned around calmly.

Then, he glanced at Anthony Taylor who was not far away, and his eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent!
The next second, he kicked the ball hard in the lower middle part!

There was only a crisp "bang" sound, and the ball shot out and hit Anthony Taylor's back very accurately!

Caught off guard, Anthony Taylor fell forward to the ground due to a push on his back.

The next second, Anthony Taylor, who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt a burning pain in his back!
Mudd!

Let you blow the whistle!
Although I thought so in my heart.

However, Ling Feng immediately pretended to be surprised and stepped forward to check the injury of the bald referee.

"Anthony, are you okay?"

"I did not mean it."

"I want to pass the ball to my teammates at the far end."

Anthony Taylor, who was lying on the ground, was sweating on his forehead due to the pain and put on a mask of pain.

Of course, this did not prevent him from speaking sweet words in his heart:
"Fuck, you did it on purpose!"

"I thought I didn't know?"

"How could you, the Premier League assist king who can pass the ball wherever you point it, miss the target?!"

It is worth mentioning that Ling Feng’s kick directly caused a loud applause to break out at Old Trafford.

Many home team fans cheered directly:

"Should!"

"Cool!"

"Ness!"

Finally, after examination by the team doctor, Ling Feng's kick left a clear bruise on Anthony Taylor's back.

After the treatment, the dedicated bald referee could only stand up straight and it hurt when he walked.

Not to mention continuing to enforce the law on the court.

In desperation, when the referee was injured and unable to continue to enforce the law, the fourth official on the sidelines could only come on as a temporary substitute and take over the referee's job.

Watching Anthony Taylor being helped off the court, Ling Feng frowned slightly, looking worried.

But, I was already smiling in my heart:

Since we can’t solve the problem of the referee blowing the whistle biasedly, then let’s solve the person who raised the problem (the referee)!
This makes perfect sense!

Perhaps he was frightened by Ling Feng's kick and was afraid that he would be kicked as well.

Or if he continued to blow the whistle biasedly, it would be too obvious, and the substitute referee would immediately tighten the penalty standards.

Just a few minutes after Anthony Taylor left the field, Ling Feng made a passing and cutting cooperation with Ibrahimovic in the middle, breaking into the penalty area like a red lightning, and even passing the goalkeeper who came out to attack, and completed a horizontal pass.

Ibrahimovic pushed the ball into the empty goal from the center and equalized the game!

After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic rushed directly into the goal, picked up the ball and kicked it towards the center circle.

Then, he ran back, raised his arms, and roared:

“Come On!!!”

In an instant, the entire Old Trafford stadium was filled with cheers from the home team's fans.

It's a pity that this goal came too late.

Finally, when the West Ham United midfielder kicked the ball towards Manchester United's backcourt, the substitute referee blew the whistle to end the game!
The score on the field was fixed at 2-2!
Thanks to Ling Feng's pass and shot, as well as Ibrahimovic's equalizer, Manchester United, who suffered unfair penalties from the referee, finally maintained their unbeaten record at Old Trafford!
However, the price paid was that head coach Mourinho was sent to the stands.

He was charged by the FA after the game.

Two days later, the English Football Association announced the punishment for Mourinho's improper behavior in this game:
Two-match ban!

And a fine of 24,000 pounds!

The suspension applies to all matches in England.

Therefore, this means that Mourinho will not be able to direct the game on the sidelines in the upcoming fifth round of the League Cup and the fourteenth round of the league.

Coincidentally, in the upcoming fifth round of the League Cup, Manchester United’s opponent is West Ham United!
