Seven hundred and ninety-one, playing with fire
Ronaldo took the ball on the left. Facing Puyol who was rushing towards him, he made an easy fake move and deceived the Barcelona captain. He distributed the ball to the penalty area. Aguero shot low at 0 meters from the goal. Valdes He threw the ball away, but quickly grabbed it from the ground and took the ball into his arms. Kaka, who was in the back row and wanted to make a supplementary shot, could only regretfully choose to smile bitterly.
After scoring two goals in the first half, the Red Rebels completely showed their momentum. Barcelona was passive and disadvantaged on the court and had to endure the encirclement and suppression of the Red Rebels.
However, although Barcelona's lineup focuses on offense but not defense, in fact, their defensive ability is not weak at all. In terms of defensive players, they are all the top players in Europe. In addition, Guardiola has arranged in advance and After practicing tactics, the defense will naturally not be too bad, which also makes the Red Rebels' offense unable to break through Valdez's goal.
Even so, after Valdes blocked Aguero's shot, he stood up from the ground and roared at his teammates. The first person to bear the brunt was Pique, who was responsible for marking Aguero, but he didn't. It allowed the Argentinian to easily enter the penalty area and gave him the opportunity to face the goal directly.
Without Valdes' timely attack, maybe this goal would have been achieved.
In this game, although Valdez scored two goals in a row, his condition was still good. At least he defused the Red Rebels' attacks several times and saved Barcelona's goal.
The opponent exerted tremendous pressure and was lagging behind on the field. This made the internal atmosphere of Barcelona very anxious. The players hardly cooperated well with each other and had no tacit understanding, especially when grabbing and fighting for the ball. At that time, there were frequent small moves. The referee had to stop the game several times and even showed Keita a yellow card as a warning. This was the third yellow card in the game. Two of them were given to Barcelona and one was given to Barcelona. Gave it to Essien of the Red Rebels.
Seeing that the players had almost no cooperation or threat on the court, Guardiola walked back to the coaching bench with a headache and disappointment. Assistant coach Villanova whispered a few words in his ear, walked to the sidelines, and looked at The players on the field made a series of gestures.
In the 4th minute, Michael Johnson suddenly made a long pass. Ronaldinho and Aguero came in from the back row. Piqué and Zyglinski also followed suit and kept retreating. Piqué was even closer to Ronaldinho. Luo and Valdes also took the initiative to attack, but just when the two were about to enter the penalty area, Piqué suddenly fell to the ground.
I saw the Barcelona defender covering his face tightly and rolling on the grass with a very painful expression, as if he had suffered a very serious revenge from his opponent.
Because the pass just now was a sudden long pass, the ball was very fast, and the referee was far away, there was no time to see clearly what was going on. But just when he was about to step up and understand the situation, Puyue Er has already led his teammates to surround him.
Oops,
Jose, they are doing it again, Cassel suddenly shouted anxiously.
At this time, the captains of the Red Rebels, Curtis and Terry, also posted up, especially Curtis. He seemed to have heard what Puyol and the others were complaining, and he suddenly shouted at them angrily. Roaring, Puyol and others retorted unhappily, and the two groups almost started fighting on the court.
Mourinho shook his head with a wry smile. He noticed that Villa, Abidal, and even Zygrinski were not involved, but what's the use? They are Barcelona players. Will they take the initiative to tell what happened?
This is the home court of the Red Rebels, but the referee is appointed by UEFA. The Red Rebels abide by the rules and entertain the referee team. They also have a good impression of the Red Rebels, but once this situation occurs on the field, once the Barcelona players By applying pressure, the referee will inevitably not consider balance.
You know, the current situation on the field is: o, the Red Rebels are in the lead
Through the slow-motion display, it can be clearly seen that Ronaldinho only raised his hand too high, but did not touch Piqué, but he fell to the ground in an almost exaggerated posture, and he still can't get up until now. , Barcelona’s team doctor even entered the stadium without the referee’s permission. Is he really injured that seriously?”
At this moment, even the on-site commentator sneered.
However, the referee was surrounded by Barcelona players and Red Rebel players on the court. He had to make his own decisions and judgments in an instant.
After a minute or so of deliberation, the referee stabilized the players on both sides, then walked over, directly in front of Ronaldinho, said a few words to him, then walked towards Piqué, and directly towards the latter Showed a yellow card
This is an undisputed flop by Ying Ming. This is an undoubted fraud. They intend to use this method to defraud the referee of a yellow card or even a red card. However, from the slow motion, we can completely It is clearly seen that Ronaldinho did not make any foul moves at all.
The Red Rebel fans at the scene suddenly burst into overwhelming cheers, and they even used loud singing to mock the kickers who were performing. Is your football only about performances?
After the referee showed the yellow card, he immediately took a tough stance and asked Piqué to either temporarily go out for treatment or resume the game immediately. After these words, Piqué helplessly stood up from the ground.
It looks like he was really seriously injured.
Mourinho gave a thumbs up to the linesman, indicating that the referee team had made a correct and wise decision.
Barcelona had a total of two flops in this game, but both times were seen through by the referee. This obviously also stems from the work done by the Red Rebels to the referee team before the game, asking them to be careful about Barcelona's acting skills. Now it has been fulfilled.
After the game restarted, Barcelona still had no fighting spirit, while the Red Rebels organized wave after wave of offensives. The two sides fought back and forth on the court, fighting endlessly.
The Red Rebels obviously had more fighting spirit. The players were desperately trying to establish an advantage in the first half, while Barcelona was passively beaten. Not to mention making no moves in offense, even in defense, they seemed It was so precarious.
The game passed minute by minute, and the Red Rebels still controlled the situation of the game.
In the 44th minute, the Red Rebels launched a wave of attacks and entered Barcelona's penalty area, but Abidal did a good job of assisting Piqué's position behind the ball and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.
Essien saw that the ball was not far away and immediately stepped forward. Busquets also rushed up, preparing to compete with him for the clearance ball.
The two players started a fierce physical fight. Essien used his physical advantage to block Busquets behind him. After touching the ball, he turned around to protect the ball. What came from behind was Busquets using his body to squeeze him, so Essien instinctively To resist.
Not far away, Michael Johnson suddenly came over, preparing to ask for the ball. Essien immediately stretched out his arms, blocked Busquets behind him, turned slightly, and prepared to pass the ball, but at this moment, Suddenly I felt a lightness on my back.
When Essien looked back, he found that Busquets had fallen to the ground without knowing when, with his head covering his face, his legs seemed to be curled up in pain, and his whole person shrank into a ball. His posture seemed to be affected by Like a violent blow.
Seeing this situation, the referee had to run up immediately and stop the game, but just as he was about to pass, the Barcelona players gathered around again and blocked the referee. They all looked indignant. .

Have you heard the story of three people becoming tigers? Xiao Yu asked helplessly in the stands with a wry smile.
Eva Snow shook her head. Although she was influenced by Xiao Yu and was very keen on Guohua, she was not as familiar with Xiao Yu as she was. However, Bingxue was smart and she could vaguely guess that it was probably the same as now. situation related.
When one person says that there are tigers on the street, I believe you will not believe it; but when the second person tells you that there are really tigers on the street, you may be half-convinced; if there is a third person , the fourth or fifth person tells you that there are tigers on the street, you start to believe it.”
Eva Snow understood immediately, and she immediately said, You mean, Barcelona is using this tactic to challenge the referee's confidence?
Of course, the Red Rebels have the advantage on the scene. This is the home ground of the Red Rebels. As the visiting team, Barcelona can completely appear as the underdog. Then they failed to succeed twice before. Now the third time it happens, the referee will Think about it, are the two yellow cards not enough to deter Barcelona?
Eva Snow shook her head in disdain and said: You didn't say that I really didn't show up. The people who flopped three times were different. Pedro, Piqué, and now it's Busquets' turn. They obviously have arrangements.
I don't know if there are any arrangements, but what I know is that this time the referee was shaken.
As an individual, it is difficult to grasp your confidence and reason at this time. After all, Barcelona will come up to surround the referee every time and put pressure on the referee, so that even the most iron-clad determination will be worn away.
But the key question is, how will the referee make the penalty this time?
yellow card
The referee showed Essien a yellow card. This was obviously the result of Barcelona's overall pressure.
After the referee showed the yellow card, he turned around and left, but at this moment, Puyol reminded him.
Hey, Mr. Referee, he has already received a yellow card before.
At this time, the referee was stunned and immediately looked at the back of the yellow card. Sure enough, he saw it said: Red Rebels 6th minute. This was the only yellow card the Red Rebels received in the game.
The referee almost forgot about this matter. When Puyol reminded him, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake, but the yellow card had been issued and there was no way to take it back. He could only reach into his chest. He took out a red card again and sent Essien off the field.
Not far away, Busquets jumped up from the ground after Essien's disgraceful end. He didn't look injured at all. On the contrary, he looked very excited, especially when he was lying on Pique's shoulder, smiling. What he was saying seemed to the referee as if he was showing off his record.
In his eyes, this is extremely ironic
I will definitely write today's incident into the game report. You must be responsible for today's incident. At least I think I have been humiliated. You do not respect this sport at all. I even think that you are not worthy of appearing here again. On the football field, you are just a bunch of liars, a bunch of liars who specialize in acting.”
Seeing the ferocious expression on the referee's livid face, Puyol didn't notice anything at first, but when he turned around, he saw Busquets' nonchalant expression behind him, and then saw the referee's angry look. , he immediately panicked.
This is definitely a harsh accusation that Barcelona cannot bear. The seriousness of the circumstances will be far greater than Puyol and others expected, especially when he just thinks that his opponent is not just the law enforcement agency of European football. At the same time, he became even more panicked when the Red Rebels, who could almost cover the sky with one hand in Europe,
This time, they played with fire
Not only did Puyol's face turn bleak, when the first half ended, Guardiola and Villanova's faces immediately became very ugly after hearing what the captain said. They almost never thought about it. , the referee will be angered by them
Perhaps, we should inform the club as soon as possible, Guardiola said.

In the home team's locker room, Mourinho didn't know what was going on outside, nor did he know the conversation between Puyol and the referee, but he knew clearly that his team must play in the second half. Playing without players.
Are you afraid? Mourinho asked suddenly.
The players were stunned, each raising their heads and looking at the head coach they respected.
I want to ask, are you afraid that we are missing Michael Essien and our opponent is Barcelona?
Mourinho's magnetic voice floats in the locker room, ringing in the hearts of every player. Are you afraid?
Don't be afraid, boss Curtis stood up first and shouted proudly.
Looking around at his teammates, Curtis kept his head high, I didn't know fear before, so I looked reckless, but now I know I am afraid, so before I do anything, I touch my chest first. Here is the logo of my favorite team, which reminds me that I must think about the team, no matter what I do.
I know Michael has been wronged, but is it because of this that we are afraid? I always believe that evil cannot defeat justice. I don't know why Barcelona will play such tricks again and again, but even if That’s right, even if we lose one teammate, I will still say that, we are the fearless Red Rebels.”
I hope my teammates can join me and we fight hand in hand. We can fill Essien's vacancy as one person, defeat Barcelona, win this game, and then proudly tell the world, come on , Barcelona, use your intrigues, use your methods, no matter how many tricks you use, no matter how brilliant your acting skills are, in the end, you still can't defeat us, you can never defeat us.
Curtis is right, we will not be afraid, we will not be afraid just because Essien is missing. Terry also stood up to support.
If there is no Michael Essien, then each of us will run a little more. He runs 10,000 per game, so each of us will run more kilometers. In this way, we can fill the gap left by Essien. We If we can continue to keep the pressure on Barcelona, we can defeat our opponents and continue to maintain our winning record, Kaká also shouted passionately.
The players stood up one after another and expressed their opinions one after another. They seemed to be very excited and excited, as if they were stormtroopers about to have a life-and-death battle.
After hearing the players' statements, Mourinho became excited, his blood was boiling and burning, and he was very proud because his players did not let him down.
Yes, guys, I can tell you that Barcelona cannot beat us
Mourinho's guarantee gave the players endless fighting spirit. They were discussing in an uproar one by one to see how they should cooperate and play in the second half, while Mourinho and the coaching staff have a discussion.
Sorry, Leo, we decided to make adjustments in the second half, Mourinho said towards Messi.
After a tense first half, Messi's physical fitness already had some problems. He just played a game on the weekend, and now he is fighting in this tough battle. Although he scored two goals, at the last moment, his physical fitness... Obviously there are no guarantees.
Messi nodded. He understood that when the team lacks one person to fight, the lineup will definitely be adjusted. No matter who is replaced, it is understandable.
Mourinho scanned the substitute lineup, and everyone was paying attention to who would replace him in the second half.
Drogba lowered his head and had no desire to come on as a substitute, because his experience told him that in this situation Mourinho would definitely replace him with a substitute defensive player, so the possibility of Rodwell It's very big, or else it's Aaron Ramsey. Both of these two backcourt players can provide protection for the defense.
But who knew that Mourinho suddenly laid his eyes on him and shouted: Didier, are you ready?
Drogba was stunned. He didn't even know how to answer for a moment. Fortunately, Essien next to him bumped him lightly. He immediately nodded and said: Ready, I can play at any time.
Very well, Didier, remember your responsibilities and score from the fulcrum in the penalty area. Mourinho said concisely, but Drogba was very clear about these tasks. He even almost regarded these tasks as instincts in his career. , because it was Mourinho's requirements that pushed him to the heights of the world's leading players.
Don't worry, boss, I won't make it easy for Barcelona's defense. Drogba's originally gloomy eyes immediately regained their sparkle, and he even smiled with confidence.
Mourinho nodded and smiled in approval, then turned his head and looked at Alves and Evra, The two wings are left to the full-backs, especially the right wing. Messi is not here, and the entire right wing is Yours, Daniel, I want to see you take off”
Understood, boss. Alves had been holding in his anger for a long time, and now he just wanted to let it out.
