The team that concedes the goal will take the kick-off from Coventry.

The Coventry team was sent off for a foul in the penalty area, so they were quite passive after the game continued.

Robbins decided to supplement the strength of the rear line at the cost of reducing one attack point.

Seeing this, Sunderland's head coach Brees quickly made tactical changes.

Brees directly converted the team's formation to 433 to increase the team's offensive power.

Adopting a clampdown tactic at the beginning, Sunderland focused on defense and supplemented by counterattack.

But, with a goal ahead and a man sent off from the other team, Sunderland were ready to attack.

Passive defense!

That was the main story for Coventry for the remainder of the first half.

Sunderland's three forwards kept attacking Coventry's defense.

This made the already fragile Coventry defense miserable.

In particular, the consecutive dismissals of Dabo and Billy put great pressure on the newly replaced substitute central defender Paske.

Therefore, the team currently has only one lone forward, Gordon, who has to participate in the team's defense at all times.

Although Robbins was anxious outside the court, there was nothing he could do about it.

He could only constantly direct the players to move and make up defenses, and was unable to mount an effective counterattack at all.

If this continues, everyone will understand that it will be a matter of time before Coventry concedes another goal.

Do you really have to admit defeat?

And it is very likely that we will lose this game by a big score?

Robins was anxious inside, just looking forward to the first half ending as soon as possible and waiting for the halftime break to think about how to deal with it.

The cost of defense is that the team's physical strength decreases very quickly.

Coventry's players could only deal with the opponent's attacks again and again, and they didn't know where to pass the ball when they got the ball.

After all, the four midfielders and one forward have all retreated and become defensive players.

As Coventry's captain and main striker, Gordon feels he has an obligation to score goals.

Therefore, after working hard to participate in the team's defense, he has been looking for opportunities to break through and counterattack.

Finally, before the end of the first half, Sunderland, who was attacking like crazy, relaxed a little bit in defense.

As a shooter, Gordon was keenly aware of this opportunity to counterattack.

After receiving a through ball from Jones from the backcourt, Gordon immediately passed Sunderland center back Willis.

After passing Willis, Gordon thought there was a plain ahead, but suddenly a familiar figure appeared next to him.

"Haha, Gordon, I know you too well! I knew you wouldn't be honest on the court!"

Jamie Allen suddenly appeared next to Gordon.

It turns out that he has been wandering in the midfield and backfield of the court, and he knows the old captain of his former club very well.

In this game, Brees asked Jamie to play the defensive midfielder position.

This position can be advanced, attacked, retreated or defended, and is an important position for implementing tactics.

So when he discovered that Gordon was making any unusual movements during his movement, Jamie decisively took precautions in advance.

Gordon didn't expect that Jamie could guess his movements, so his movements suddenly stagnated when holding the ball!

It was during this gap that Jamie quickly ran to Gordon and kicked him at his feet.

Jamie's action, which looks like grabbing the ball, actually hides a hint of sinisterness.

Gordon's ball protection was very successful, so Jamie's large movements did not touch the ball.

After Jamie kicked the ball hard in the direction of Gordon's feet, his calf did not retract when he retracted his foot.

Jamie violently kicked Gordon's right knee with his calf guard!

Gordon's knee is injured.

After Jamie hit his knee, Gordon fell to the ground in pain.

The referee stopped the game!

The Sunderland side were awarded a tactical foul.

Since the foul action was far away from the penalty area and did not pose a threat to the ball, Jamie was shown a yellow card by the referee!

Jones quickly ran to Jamie and picked up his jersey collar with both hands.

"asshole!"

"Although you may win this game by doing this, Gordon's career may also be ended by you!"

Jones was very angry. He clenched his right hand into a fist and was ready to punch Jamie in the face the next second!

Because there is a reason for his anger.

The knees of professional players are quite fragile!

Throughout the history of football, countless talented players have disappeared due to meniscus injuries and torn cruciate ligaments.

Therefore, Jamie's action can be described as shameless.

Because he is also a football player and is very familiar with the places where the human body is prone to injury.

So to say that Jamie's defensive foul action was completely unintentional, no one would believe it!

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Jamie quickly pushed Jones away.

Seeing Gordon lying on the ground and Sunderland's two violent fouls, the anger of all Coventry players was instantly ignited.

Players from Coventry and Sunderland pushed each other on the field, and then complained to each other about the referee.

Gordon, who fell to the ground, was quickly put on a stretcher by medical staff and evacuated from the field.

Seeing that the players on both sides were becoming more and more tense, the referee quickly blew the half-time whistle.

The first half of the game is over!

But there was chaos on the court.

At this time, even the substitutes of Coventry and Sunderland rushed into the stadium, and the verbal and physical conflicts between the two sides became increasingly fierce.

The fans of the home team Coventry loudly insulted their team's "traitor" Jamie.

Jamie still dismissed this.

With the persuasion and protection of his Sunderland teammates, Jamie slowly ran towards the players' tunnel.

"This action is obviously a red card!"

"I want to complain! Your refereeing team is clearly protecting the away team!"

The furious Robbins loudly questioned the third referee next to him, as if he was going crazy!

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, the referee blew his whistle and gave yellow cards to Jones and the two Sunderland players who were in intense emotion.

The third referee on the sidelines also signaled to the referee, and then the head coach Robbins was shown a yellow card by the referee for interfering with the referee's work.

The referee team and the security personnel in the stadium quickly controlled the situation on the field.

After each team was hit fifty times by the referee, both teams returned to their locker rooms.

Halftime, in the Coventry dressing room.

Robbins slammed his hand against the wall!

Because news just came from the team doctor that Gordon may be out for more than a month due to this injury.

Damn Sunderland!

Damn Blaise!

Damn Jamie!

Robbins was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

The score is behind!

One less person to hit!

The main player is injured!

How can you compete with Sunderland in the second half?

The bottom line in my heart was that he could at least tie and score one point in this game.

But judging from this situation, Brace and Jamie are not satisfied with this.

At this time, the Coventry players were all leaning against the wall with their heads down and did not speak.

Everyone is waiting for coach Robbins' next instructions.

"Coach, I invite you to fight again!"

Shen Xiao stood up from his chair and recommended himself again in front of Robbins and his teammates.
Chapter completed!
