Chapter 1272: Within the Rules, but Unethical—Brother Lu Explodes (Part 3)

This type of fracture is severe, perhaps not as impactful to a player as a severe tear of the cruciate ligament.

But the visual impact is too strong.

Someone with a weaker psychological tolerance might vomit directly upon seeing such a significantly twisted image.

Kahn rushed over too.

Almost every player rushed over.

Hernandez also found the Main Referee to tell him it’s really serious, he just saw it too.

The Main Referee picked up pace towards the area where the incident occurred.

But just at this moment…

The Mallorca left winger, who was initially rushing towards the incident spot, saw the lonely football and the empty goal as he passed the Barça penalty area arc… “A stroke of inspiration”!

Bang!

He kicked the football towards the Barça goal.

By the time everyone turned their heads upon hearing the sound, the football was already rolling inside the Barça goal.

The Barça players were dumbfounded.

Everyone at the scene, including the commentators, were stunned.

This…

“What the hell are you doing?” Clement, who was already emotionally unstable from a close-up tragedy, reacted poorly when the opponent capitalized and scored a goal while everyone’s focus was on the teammates’ safety?

Especially since the Mallorca left winger even raised both his hands to celebrate his goal.

Perhaps… he thought his teammate’s injury wasn’t serious?

Sometimes when a teammate falls, but you score, the teammate can immediately get up and celebrate with you, creating a medical miracle.

This time, it should also be the same, right?

Bang!

Clement rushed over and directly toppled the Mallorca left winger.

The Mallorca left winger was stunned for a moment before quickly turning and charging at Clement.

Luckily, other Mallorca players came up and held him back.

However, Barça players swiftly surrounded them.

“How can you do this?”

“His injury is severe, yet you shamelessly continue playing?”

“We are all concerned about your teammate, and you don’t even care?”

“Are you even human? Is your heart made of stone?”

But the Mallorca left winger was also furious: “The Main Referee didn’t blow the whistle to stop the game, so I’m damn well allowed to play!”

“It’s within the rules!”

Many were shocked.

Indeed, it’s within the rules.

The blame is on the Main Referee!

The incident was sudden, and the situation quite serious, coupled with Hernandez’s communication with him at the time, leading him to forget to blow the whistle to pause the game.

Resulting in…

The Main Referee, after a brief consideration, blew the whistle indicating the goal was valid.

And simultaneously issued a yellow card to Clement for the push.

But then also gave the scoring Mallorca left winger a yellow card.

His actions violated sportsmanship.

This yellow card didn’t need to be given, but given it was, it was certainly justified.

The Main Referee was disgusted by this left winger.

Loud boos erupted from the crowd, as the fans were disgusted too.

Perhaps Mallorca’s other players felt the same way.

Everyone looked at this left winger, suddenly ashamed to be associated with him.

This goal was within the rules but extremely unethical!

This type of goal should be cursed.

It should be documented as a negative lesson, forever nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

At this point, the team doctor came on and quickly took the Mallorca right winger off.

The Mallorca central forward’s eyes were red, partly from feeling scared and uncomfortable, partly from deep affection for his teammate.

Mebarak was stunned at the incident, unsure of what he should do.

He swore, he didn’t have such malicious intent, he just didn’t want to be substituted by Gudiola for conceding a goal again.

But now, the team had indeed conceded a goal.

Mebarak immediately rushed to the Main Referee, indicating this goal shouldn’t have happened and should be invalid!

The Main Referee expressed understanding of Barça’s sentiment, but according to the rules, this goal was indeed valid.

Mebarak actually knew the penalty couldn’t be changed, but he needed to make a stance, to let everyone realize the concession was Clement’s fault, not his Mebarak’s.

This move is quite clever.

And indeed, it was Clement who ran over leaving the ball at his feet, not fulfilling his duty.

If he was more experienced, he should’ve kicked the ball out of bounds and come over.

However, sometimes talking too much reveals one’s true intentions.

The careless Mebarak inadvertently said: “You can’t use your own mistake to punish Barça, it was you who forgot to blow the whistle to stop the game.”

The Main Referee immediately glared at Mebarak in anger: “I indeed made a mistake, you can point it out after the game, even appeal it. I’m willing to accept the punishment given to me by the organization.”

“But right now, at this very moment, the match isn’t over. You shouldn’t question and challenge my authority as the Main Referee!”

The Main Referee said while pulling out a yellow card.

Mebarak was also burdened with a Yellow Gem.

Boos were everywhere on Barça’s side, but the Main Referee’s attitude was firm.

Normally, referees’ penalty card on the field is categorized into discipline card and technical rule card.

The latter is about breaking rules, requiring a card according to regulations.

While the former deals with confronting the referee, initiating conflict between two teams, engaging in intense non-football-related physical contact, and so on.

Discipline cards are more subjective, but challenging the Main Referee often results in a card.

Mebarak handled this poorly.

Knowing his fellow central defender teammate had a yellow card, he still chose to engage in ineffective negotiations, thus earning himself a Yellow Gem.
