Away from home they're yet to win in the league this season, while

Sir Alex's men aren't infallible, however.
Bolton proved that much in the Reds' last league outing...


Ins and outs:

一步一个脚印慢慢来

鲁尼状态恢复的不错

原来埃弗拉半场被换下 书记急匆匆的下场都是因为肠胃不舒服 下场大号去了

都2：0了，C罗还要假摔

第79分钟,C罗接应萨哈直塞趟过门将但摔倒,主裁判斯泰尔斯毫不犹豫判了C罗的假摔.而这次实在是一个误判.第一,已经趟过门将,最后一个后卫离身后有几米远,而那个球趟过的力度适中并未脱离控制范围,只要跳过门将,轻轻一推即可完成四年来首个帽子戏法,C罗没必要假摔.第二,C罗选择跳过门将,这本是个保护自己和门将的行为,而且如果假摔的话是直接把脚往门将身上放,或者等待门将下扑时直接往前摔倒,跳过门将的C罗显然是一心要继续往前进攻.第三,C罗高速推进,趟过门将后起跳,整个人凌空的情况下,就算有点风吹草动都会失去平衡导致落地摔倒,而根据慢镜头的回放,涅米的手是在C罗准备跳起的一刹,绊到了C罗的仍未跳起的支撑脚--左脚.

涅米的手扬的很夸张

这个镜头回放了N遍，身体前倾，脚不动，明显的假摔

哪个球员都假摔过，也没啥不好意思的:D

苏东陈锡荣 包括英国的解说员 都是一致的声音 应该是点球 即使不给点球 无论如何给黄牌都是太过严厉了

就像你的第一反应一样 没有必要博点球
什么叫脚不动 C罗选择了一个保护自己保护门将的动作
要点球还不简单？直接无视门将，直接按正常动作前进，踩在门将手上裁判都给你点球
没什么好意思不好意思的
是就是
不是就不是
