Compared to the first half, AC Milan played much smoother. They seemed to be intentional about stabilizing their position and trying to slowly advance to make the team adapt to the game. Such a position advancement poses great threat to Roma. They had to concentrate on the game and pay attention to AC Milan's passes at any time.

However, Roma's defense is also very stable, and AC Milan will not find any opportunity for a while.

Both sides played very fiercely, especially in the fight near the midfield, which seemed even more intense. At the beginning of the first half, both sides were fighting for the initiative of the midfield, and now both sides seemed to have returned to their original rhythm. The football kept passing around near the midfield, and the ball rights changed back and forth.

Such a game has made AC Milan supporters very worried.

The team was already one goal behind, but now they are playing comparable to Roma. Can such a game really win? AC Milan supporters were confused.

Roma's counterattack and even advanced the offense were very smooth. They seemed not affected by the midfield break at all and were in very good condition. Toti, Montera and Zhang Tiehan were all very active in the frontcourt. They formed a trident in the frontcourt, and the continuous cooperation made it difficult for AC Milan to limit.

Who can stop them?

AC Milan players were running around, AC Milan fans felt desperate, and at this moment, the referee stood up...

While competing with Maldini, Montera took advantage of her youth and squeezed Maldini away and kicked the football into the middle. Seeing AC Milan coming into a new crisis again, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Montra fouled in the scrimmage!"

Montera spread his hands aggrievedly, and he looked innocent, but the referee was simply punished and gave him a verbal warning. Montera muttered in a low voice, "Is it because I fouled that I don't respect the old man?" Maldini was obviously the old man he said.

This time Toti and Kaka competed for the ball. Both of them had movements in their hands. Toti won and controlled the ball under his feet. The whistle that he was about to pass the ball was sounding again.

"Torti's foul! Pull someone!"

"Why didn't he pull people!" Totti asked angrily, but the referee Taliavento directly warned him verbally, as if he had any complaints and was about to take out the card.

Totti could only turn around and leave with a humble face.

Once again, Gattuso of AC Milan obviously pulled people in defense. As a result, the referee Tagliavento signaled the game to continue, "that was a normal and reasonable collision", but it was difficult for Roma players to understand what the relationship between pulling people and reasonable collision.

As a result, Totti and others went over to argue.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, AC Milan kicked off a fast break. Several Roman players didn't notice it at all. The football quickly hit the Rome penalty area. When they reacted, Argentine striker Crespo had already shot, an unimpeded single shot. Crespo sent the ball into the goal.

Taliavento immediately pushed the Roma player away and blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.

...

A goal was scored by AC Milan in a mess. The Roma players were very dissatisfied, but the referee Tagliavento clearly favored AC Milan, and they had no choice but to do anything on the court.

Roman fans were also quite dissatisfied.

The 100,000 Roman fans at the scene saw the goal process. They were even more dissatisfied with the referee Tagliavento, and these Roman fans began to curse in the stands again. Tagliavento's 18 generations of female relatives were greeted, not only that. Some Roman fans also issued various threats and intimidation. If these threats and intimidations come true, Tagliavento would probably die a hundred times, and a thousand times would not be enough.

But Taliavento was calm and insisted on his punishment.

That was like he was a fair referee, but it was known to be the individual on the scene that there must be something wrong with the referee. But the chairman of the Italian Football Association and Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi were all sitting on the rostrum, and there were many fully armed policemen in the aisle of the audience. There was no way for the Roman fans to shout their throats.

Roma could only swallow this and continue to play.

After the game restarted, the referee Tagliavento's penalty was still the same. But he would also judge AC Milan's foul. Roma's players soon concluded the rules. At those critical moments, such as when an excellent offensive opportunity might appear, Tagliavento would call Roma's foul and return the possession to AC Milan. And many irrelevant physical collisions, Tagliavento would judge AC Milan's foul, and Roma did not benefit from it.

This has simply become a referee-led game...

"Damn it!"

"asshole!"

Every Roma player is quite angry. Many good attacks were blew by the referee to a timeout, but the smooth attack could not be played at all. If this continues, it won’t take long to say whether AC Milan can score another goal, and they will not be able to find their form.

Zhang Tiehan was also quite angry.

This time he received a pass from Toti and was about to lead forward. He found an opportunity to accelerate and broke through Gatuso. He was about to find a long shot, but was knocked down to the ground by Gatuso with a tackle behind him.

Zhang Tiehan was not injured. He stood up directly from the ground and had at least a yellow card behind the tackle, especially Gatuso's kick, and it was normal for him to directly send off a red card. As a result, the referee Tagliavento only blew the timeout and gave Roma a free kick opportunity, and only verbally warned Gatuso.

This penalty caused an uproar among all the fans!

"You should take out the cards!"

"This is a serious foul!"

The Roman players said it was quite tactful, while the Roman fans in the stands were shouting angrily-

"How much did you charge!"

"Bastard, get out of the Olympic Stadium!"

"Because of this punishment, I will kill you!"

All kinds of threats, warnings, persuasions, and explanations filled Taliavento's ears, but Taliavento was indifferent at all. He just pointed to the free throw point and asked Roma to serve. He turned around and ran towards the direction of the human wall that was discharged from AC Milan.

Zhang Tiehan, who was standing in front of the ball, was quite angry!

From the second half, the referee started targeting Roma, especially against him. When he didn't get a chance, the referee's whistle would soon remember, and he was also sentenced to two offensive fouls.

This way he has no way to play.

He kept thinking about what to do, but the referee is really the "boss" on the court. He has no good idea what the referee says. At the same time, the entire team's offense is limited, and he gets fewer and fewer opportunities. It is really difficult for the team to play like this.

Zhang Tiehan found that if he wanted to win, the referee was unable to avoid it.

The referees have been doing this all the time. They thought it was almost impossible to score a goal. They probably would have an offside even if they scored, and there was a precedent in the first half.

What to do now?

Zhang Tiehan had no idea at all. He raised his eyes and saw the back of the referee's head, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

You asked me to free throws? Free throws? Free throws! Haha! I just listen to you, free throws! Send you directly, see if you are still arrogant here?

"Zhang was tackled by Gatuso, and the referee gave Roma a free kick. The Roma players seemed to be arguing that the penalty was too light, but seeing that Zhang was not injured at all, Gatuso should have been unintentionally..."

The commentator was talking.

This is a free kick that is 40 meters away from the goal. It's too far. Unless Mihailovic at his peak or Robert Carlos of Real Madrid can score this ball directly, is Zhang Tiehan?

The commentator shook his head, "This is a no-threatening free kick."

The commentator was talking about Zhang Tiehan having already raised his feet. Seeing Zhang Tiehan's right leg, it must be full of strength. He was surprised and said, "Zhang wants to shoot?"

bump!

The loud noise could be heard clearly on the rostrum.

Taliavento had just turned his head.

The football flew on the grass, whizzing like a cannonball, and then... hit Taliavento's cheek, Taliavento immediately flew up straight and fell to the ground, and at the same time, two nosebleeds splattered on the grass.
Chapter completed!
