Chapter 136 The Second Red Card
Nottingham Forest is missing one person now, which is a good opportunity for Barcelona. If they can seize it, they can win the game. Everyone thinks that for the remaining game time, Tony Donn can only let the team shrink across the board to withstand Barcelona's tide offensive, otherwise it will be a dead end.
But they didn't expect that after replacing Woodgate, Donn let the England central defender bring a new command to the players on the court.
"Observation. The boss asked us to find a way to attack." Woodgate took advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball and summoned everyone to announce the latest decision. "He said that Barcelona is full of how to score our ball now, and they would never think that we still have the strength to fight back, so their defense is useless. As long as we can seize the opportunity, the initiative will come to us."
Others nodded in agreement. �
When the game started again, Barcelona continued to think about how to score and lead the score. Their rear was indeed as useless as Don En said. Nottingham Forest first made itself into a ball, like a hedgehog, leaving Barcelona, who was eager to score, nowhere to go. Then those little eyes began to look for a path to victory in the complicated situation.
God pays off on those who are determined!
Barcelona was so proud of their attack. Alves, Ram and even Puyol rushed across the center line, which was about to play a "half-court offensive and defensive battle" with Nottingham Forest. Even Valdes was paying attention to his own offensive, he unknowingly moved his position outside the penalty area.
Nottingham Forest, who has one less person, has performed like a stray dog during this period. Who would have thought that such a team could threaten the opponent's goal?
But the "defeated dog" in Nottingham Forest did it.
Messi's sudden shot from the penalty area was saved by Akinfeev. After Woodgate received the ball, he was immediately tied to Bo Yang. Barcelona hoped to attack on the spot after counterattack in the frontcourt. Woodgate couldn't turn around, and he passed the football to Barnes on the wing in a very difficult situation.
Seeing Barnes get the ball, Messi also forced him up.
Barcelona's use of frontcourt pressing makes it difficult for Forest team to make the ball, but it also leaves a problem - layer of forward pressure, causing their defense line to be too high. There are a large area of space behind the back line, and it can penetrate with just a long pass, and there is no need for any technical content.
Messi's pressing was a bit amateur, after all, he was not a professional defensive player. After Barnes protected the football and saw Alves rushing to the ground, he never dared to delay it again. He passed the football to George Wood who came to pick him up.
Logically speaking, Alves came up and should pass the football to Fernandez and open the road from him. But Wood did not choose such an obvious approach. He turned around and made a long pass in a diagonal pass, passing the football to the completely opposite direction.
There, Lennon was sprinting at high speed, preparing to catch the ball. And Ram had been thrown behind him by a sudden start.
Wood's long pass is very accurate. He can also send football to Lennon in front of him, giving full play to the latter's fast speed advantage.
Lennon lived up to expectations and caught up with football.
Next, Nottingham Forest counterattacked at full speed, Ibisevic, Fernandez, and even Thiago rushed up.
Nottingham Forest's counterattack was surprisingly fast, and Barcelona's replay speed was simply not up to date!
There are only two people in the backcourt, Pique and Puyol, who went to defend Lennon. Puyol was protecting not far away and monitoring Ibisevic's movements.
After seeing Pique again, Lennon glanced at the middle. He saw that Ibisek was basically in place, and Fernandez was waiting at the far end, and he expected that his pass was foolproof. He then raised his foot to pass the ball diagonally while running. The football fell from the top of Puyor's head and fell to the back.
Ibisevic was half a beat slower than he received the football!
"Oh, it's a pity..."
The Barcelona fans in the stands would not think so, and their booed suddenly.
Although Ibisevic did not receive the football, Fernandez on the other side successfully caught the ball.
While receiving the ball, Fernandez also smoothed the ball towards the middle and stopped the ball and adjusted it in one go.
Alves was still chasing him desperately, but Fernandez was only one step away from the penalty area.
"One-shot! He broke into the penalty area!"
Valdes abandoned the goal and attacked, but gave Fernandez a chance to shoot. He raised his left foot up during the run and picked the ball over Valdes' head!
At that moment, the hearts of Barcelona fans stopped beating collectively, and their breathing seemed to solidify. Everyone watched the football pass over Valdes' head. Fallen into the goal...
Nottingham Forest fans, who were absolutely inferior in numbers, erupted with volcanic energy at this moment, and their cheers resounded over the Camp Nou Stadium.
"How incredible! Nottingham Forest actually surpassed the score with one person missing!!" The commentator was going crazy... He didn't expect that this game would end like this.
Tang En jumped out of his seat. He raised his arms and rushed to the sidelines. You sent me off and I scored your goal. What a good deal!
"We're sure to win, haha!" he laughed at Don and Chris Lak.
The players of Nottingham Forest, who were suppressed for the whole game, finally stood out at the last moment, ran to the frontcourt to hug Fernandez and celebrated the goal.
But in such a happy scene, captain George Wood shouted something in the backcourt, looking at his gestures as if he wanted his teammates to come back quickly...
Is something going on?
"Wait, wait!" The commentator also shouted. "Offside! The lineman's flag was raised. When Lennon passed the ball, Fernandez and Ibisek both were offside...? Maybe we can see the playback, but now... Barcelona quickly sent a free kick while the Nottingham Forest players were celebrating in the frontcourt! Now it's their turn to counterattack! George Wood was calling his teammates to return to defense. Now the Forest team's only only him, Woodgate and goalkeeper Akinfeyev were almost unprepared! What's going on? Looking at the expressions of the Nottingham Forest players, they were completely stunned. They even forgot to return to defense!"
Only a few people were running back desperately, but at this time Barcelona had already passed the ball to the Nottingham Forest penalty area...
The referee did not stop Barcelona's attack. He believed that Barcelona would not violate the rules when doing this because the game was not suspended.
Tony Donn on the sidelines couldn't believe his eyes. His hands, which were originally raised to celebrate the victory, were holding his head at this moment, widening his eyes and looking at everything that was happening on the field with an incredible expression.
George Wood now has only one way to save the team, not to become Superman and defend all Barcelona players alone, and then kick football out of bounds. But... a foul.
He was like a heavy truck that was seriously overloaded. Messi rushed towards the ball with all his strength. This time, even if he kicked Messi's legs, he would stop Barcelona from scoring the goal!
Messi saw his intentions, and before Wood rushed up, he passed the football out, then jumped up and dodged Wood. Despite this, he was still knocked by Wood and rolled in the air and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed. But his mission was completed.
The football was successfully sent to Bo Yang's feet and was not offside!
Before Woodgate came up to block, Bo Yang decisively stepped out, the football flew over Woodgate and then over Akinfeyev, and accurately entered the goal!
This time it was Barcelona fans' turn to cheer. The lineman's flag was not raised. He just ran to the center line again - this means that the goal was effective.
"The ball has entered! It's a really ups and downs game! Nottingham Forest's counterattack just now was judged to be invalid, but Barcelona's counterattack here was effective! 2:1! Barcelona is leading! Now there are five minutes left before the end of the game, Nottingham Forest has been hit hard!"
Barcelona players began to celebrate this successful counterattack, while Nottingham Forest players angrily surrounded the referee. The other party must give an explanation.
"Why are our goals offside and their goals have no problem at all?"
"Why didn't you blow the ball while they kick off quickly?"
"This kind of penalty is inexplicable! I definitely did not offside!"
"You're so damn..." The guy was covered by his sensible teammates.
But someone scolded him for his swear words.
After discovering that Barcelona's goal was effective, Don En seemed to have been lit off the court. At this time, even if the sky fell, it could not stop him from swearing at the referee.
"You bastard, bastard! Didn't you fucking behave with a conscience when you came out today? What qualifications do you have to stand on the court in that outfit?" He rushed into the court, pointed at the referee and yelled loudly.
The referee did not pay attention to him immediately, but instead showed a yellow card to Wood who had just run into Messi!
The fans of Nottingham Forest in the stands booed the black referee desperately.
This move was simply adding fuel to the angry Nottingham Forest players. A group of people surrounded the referee and pulled it, opening their mouths as if they wanted to eat the small referee in front of them. Fernandez also took a yellow card for protesting. If someone hadn't pulled it, I really couldn't tell if he would rush up and punch the Italian referee.
"Ha!" Don Eun laughed without anger, "I want my people to give you yellow cards! If George and Mattias were the ones I would give you red cards! You bitch, you black whistle!"
The fourth official came over again and said in a stern tone: "Mr. Tang En! Please pay attention to your words..."
"Sir Fourth Official, please pay attention to his conscience!" Tang En pushed back with a bad attitude. "What is this? What is this? You are a fucking murder! You murdered our goal and bite it back! Great! Is this UEFA's ultimate skill? Send off my central defender, blow my goal, and then give Barcelona a goal! That's great! I have to applaud you! It took you so much trouble to get rid of us. I'm so proud! I'm so proud!!"
Tang En became more angry as he scolded. He swears all the fourth official and the fourth official's face gradually turns dark.
"We scored no problem with goals. You can watch it a thousand times and replays! Barcelona's goal shouldn't appear at all! You UEFA robbers! It's extremely shameless! In Paris in 2006, you snatched our championship. What else do you want to grab this time? Do you want us to advance to the level? Don't be proud! Don't be too happy too early!"
Tang En held the fourth official with his head and scolded angrily.
The fourth official pressed the microphone clipped to his ear and notified the person to deal with the mad dog in front of him.
It was not easy for the referee who was surrounded on the court to break through, so the fourth official was sprayed with saliva by Donn for nearly a minute. During this period, the game could not proceed normally. After celebrating the goal, the Barcelona players waited for Nottingham Forest to kick off, but found that they all surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation. The Nottingham Forest head coach on the sidelines was competing with the fourth official. The Barcelona fans in the stands kept booing at Nottingham Forest.
It's simply messy!
Guardiola stood on the sidelines and was happy to watch the show. Anyway, it would be no loss for him if time was delayed. The only one who was unlucky would be Nottingham Forest. They received so many yellow cards in this game. Now Tony Don doesn't want to stay in the coach's seat when he sees this... In the next round, although it's home court, Nottingham Forest is no longer threatening.
He now especially hopes that Tang En will scold him a little more and it is best to do it directly. Although he has no grudges with UEFA, this will definitely ensure that Tang En is sent off.
The referee finally broke through the crowd of Nottingham Forest players. The referee ran to Tang En, and the players of the Forest team chased his butt and continued to protest, and the referee turned a deaf ear.
He ran to the sidelines, and the fourth official turned around and left Tang En's saliva splashing range, lowered his head and said a few words to the referee. Then he saw the referee walking to Tang En. He pointed at him and said seriously: "You need to be responsible for every word you say, Mr. Coach."
Tang Enze looked jokingly: "Of course I'm responsible. Do you want me to repeat all the words I just said in front of you? I'm very happy, Mr. Referee."
"I warn you. Mr. Coach..."
"Stop pretending, Mr. Referee. You blow off one of our goals and then help Barcelona score the winning goal. Put the knife on my neck and snatch our victory. Now there is still a face to run here and point at my nose to warn me? What are you warning me? Warn me to tell the truth? Warn me to accidentally hurt your soft and careful heart? Oh, baby, that must have been my intention..." Tony Donn was very clever and robbed the referee in a very quick tone and couldn't say a word for a long time, but he had his own way.
He put his hand into his chest pocket. When he did this to a head coach, he would definitely not take out a yellow card immediately.
Tang En started to applaud, and his mouth was still provoking: "Beautiful job! He did it so beautifully! Mr. Black, why didn't you send all the people on my team down? Look, half of them have already carved a yellow card. You just need to find any excuse and they can get out of here!"
The referee ignored Tang En's provocation and showed him a red card.
The stand behind Nottingham Forest coach's seat rang out with gloating whistles and laughter.
"Look at what happened on the sidelines! Tony Donn was sent off with a red card for contradicting the referee! For Nottingham Forest, this is really... too bad, too bad! They were sent off a central defender. 1:2 behind, and the referee was kicked out of the court... The game can be declared over in advance, right?"
"But this game was really 'exciting'. The climaxes were repeated in the end, one after another..."
Tang En turned toward the corridor, and the fourth official shouted at his back: "I will write all this into the competition report in detail, Mr. Tang En!"
"Whatever you want, Mr. UEFA's robber." Tang En waved his hand indifferently.
"I will write down this sentence!"
Tang En ignored him anymore. When he walked to the entrance of the corridor, he was so angry that he decided to make an action to vent.
He raised his right hand high, and under the attention of several cameras and more than 80,000 people in the audience, he made an action of counting money...
The smiles on the faces of the Barcelona fans who were watching jokes froze, while Tang turned his face away and refused to watch them again.
After a brief uproar, lighters, coins, mobile phones and other things that could be thrown into the entrance of the corridor like rain.
But Tang En had already disappeared into the corridor while they were stunned.
"..." The commentator also spoke after being frightened and silent for a while. "I can guarantee that Tony Tang's move will cause him a lot of trouble after the game. This is not a red card suspended for two games... Does he know what he is doing?"
Chapter completed!
