"This... penalty kick plus red card package?"

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the broadcast screen showing the referee Marienko and the confused Ramos, and exclaimed.

"Uuuuuu——"

Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium made deafening boos to express their strong dissatisfaction with the referee Marienko.

In their perception, not only the red card is illusory, but even the penalty kick does not exist.

Previously, Martino complained to the fourth official that Marienko's penalty kick lacked objectivity. Now it is Real Madrid coach Ancelotti's turn to complain to the fourth official about Marienko.

The slow-motion replay was not provided for a long time. British Sky commentator Andy Gray only had a preliminary understanding of the contact between Ramos and Neymar through the live broadcast. He said: "Let's not talk about Sergio Ramos first. Is there a foul on Neymar? First of all, this red card is substandard. After all, this is a very high-level national derby. If Sergio Ramos is sent off, Real Madrid playing at home will be completely passive. , if you have difficulty making a decision, you can refer to Howard Webb’s penalty in the 2010 South Africa World Cup final..."

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shook his head and said: "Once the referee's penalty appears, it is difficult to change it. There should be no big problem with the penalty kick. Just giving Ramos a red card is a bit too much." …”

The commentator of Catalunya Sports TV agreed with referee Marienko's decision: "There is no problem with penalty kicks, and there is no problem with red cards. Sergio Ramos is the last defensive player, don't forget , he already has a yellow card on his back, even if Marienko does not give him a direct red card, he will turn two yellow cards into one red..."

Immediately, the on-site director gave a slow-motion playback.

From the slow-motion replay technology, it is not difficult to see that Ramos did make a small gesture behind his waist, but Neymar's reaction was too exaggerated and even completely violated the laws of physics.

Tang Zheng was very dissatisfied with the referee Marienko's decision and was also very emotional.

Penalty kicks are acceptable, but sending Ramos off is absolutely unacceptable.

Even if it is against Barcelona at home, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to hold on to the current score in the remaining game time with one less player, and may even be reversed by Barcelona in the final game time.

This possibility must be eliminated from the source.

However, Marienko made decisive penalties and even gave Tang Zheng, who was in a rather emotional state, a yellow card.

as a warning.

Seeing the referee Marienko's firm decision, the Real Madrid players felt unhappy, but they didn't say anything. After all, Ramos's red card had become a reality, and the only ones who would suffer if they continued to compete with the referee were themselves.

The person involved, Ramos, shook his head, put his arm around Tang Zheng's waist and walked out of the penalty area. At the same time, he said: "Tang, needless to say, the referee's decision cannot be changed, so... the next game still depends on you and Cristiano Ronaldo."

Tang Zheng looked at Ramos and nodded lightly, raising his right hand: "Sergio, you don't have to blame yourself. If you didn't foul, he would have scored. Your foul is not ineffective."

Ramos shook his head and smiled bitterly. He also raised his right hand to hold Tang Zheng's right hand and sighed: "If you win the game, I'll treat you to dinner."

"OK! It's a deal!"

Ramos had just taken a few steps when he discovered that the captain's armband was still tied to his left arm, so he took it off, walked back to Tang Zheng, and handed it over: "Here, here it is."

Tang Zheng was confused. Logically speaking, for top clubs like Real Madrid, team captains are ranked based on seniority.

Captain Casillas currently takes turns playing with Diego Lopez, one playing in the cup and the other playing in the league, so when Casillas does not play, Ramos is the captain on the field, followed by Marcelo and Pepe.

Now that Ramos has been sent off, the captain's armband should be worn on the left arm of Marcelo or Pepe.

Seeing Tang Zheng's confused look, Ramos smiled and then helped him put it on with his own hands.

The on-site director happened to capture this very interesting close-up shot. Central 5 commentator He Wei was very surprised: "Ramos didn't hand the captain's armband to Marcelo. He directly put the captain's armband on Tang Zheng's left arm. .”

At the same time, Ramos raised his head and said to Tang Zheng: "Tang, we all see your leadership. I know you can lead us to victory in the game."

After saying that, Ramos patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder again and added: "Come on."

By the time Tang Zheng reacted, Ramos had already turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray was very surprised: "Oh-My-God! Sergio Ramos actually took the initiative to put the captain's armband on Don. Does this...does it mean the birth of another new record? "

After reacting, He Wei, the commentator of CC5, also said: "I have to say that this night was a record-breaking night. At this moment, Tang Zheng once again made history. He became the first Asian captain in the history of Real Madrid."

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was also surprised, but he was only a little surprised and not dissatisfied.

Looking at the entire team, Tang Zheng has the strongest leadership on the court. Real Madrid is now in crisis, and it is most suitable for Tang Zheng to be the captain on the court.

Although Marcelo felt a little uncomfortable, he was more relieved.

He is not the kind of player with outstanding leadership ability. Being able to become the current third captain of Real Madrid is purely based on his qualifications.

The commentator of Catalunya Sports TV did not pay attention to Real Madrid's 'trivial matters'. He was more concerned about Messi who was about to take a penalty kick.

"Uuuuuu——"

Not long after, with huge boos ringing from the Bernabeu Stadium, Messi, referee Marienko and Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez stood in the Real Madrid penalty area.

Everyone's focus is on Messi, who takes the penalty kick, and Diego Lopez, who is the goalkeeper. In this direct contest between spear and shield, who can win?

At this moment, the referee Marienko blew his whistle: "Beep~"

Messi, who looked very calm in the broadcast, started running. After three steps of adjustment, he picked up his familiar left foot.

Tang Zheng, who was standing behind Messi, pointed his right index finger to the right side of the goal because he had a strong feeling that Messi would kick the ball to the right side of the goal.

Diego Lopez, who had been hesitant, also saw Tang Zheng's instructions and realized that he might make mistakes anyway, so he might as well trust Tang Zheng.

But... Tang Zheng did guess correctly. Diego Lopez also pounced on the left side of his body, but Messi is Messi after all. His left-footed shot is very powerful, with a tricky angle, and it is close to the turf.

Diego Lopez is tall and has long arms and excellent goal-line skills. The only drawback is that his body is a little slow to get off the ground.

3:3

Messi took advantage of a penalty kick opportunity to help Barcelona equalize the score. The fanatical atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu dropped significantly. Only the Barcelona fans who came with the team cheered hysterically.

There were more than ten minutes left in the game, and Barcelona had one more player. They seemed to see the team they supported reverse the score at the last moment of the game and win.

Except for the die-hard Real Madrid fans in the South Stand who remained optimistic, many Real Madrid fans in attendance were a little pessimistic.

Barcelona's traditional football philosophy is about controlling the football. Now Real Madrid has one less player to play, which means that Barcelona's Tiki-Taka tactics have room for use.

Martino immediately came to the sidelines and called captain Xavi over to give him instructions.

On the other side, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti pulled French international Varane to explain some issues on the sidelines.

Ramos was sent off and had to be replaced by a centre-back.

Although Tang Zheng, who has a strong sense of position, is capable of playing as a central defender, Ancelotti did not want to end up with a draw with Barcelona at home, so he could only sacrifice other players.

As a result, Benzema unfortunately became the player who was replaced.

Because Modric, Xabi Alonso and Tang Zheng in the midfield are all indispensable, and Cristiano Ronaldo is the sharp striker. Isco only came on in the second half and was impossible to replace, so...

Therefore, central defender Varane replaced Benzema, who scored twice in this game.

Judging from the broadcast, Benzema was in a bad mood. After all, it was rare to score twice in the El Clasico. He even felt that he could score another goal and perform a hat trick in the remaining game time.

But...there is nothing we can do if the game encounters an unexpected situation.

But at this time, there was no choice.

The game restarted, and Real Madrid, which had a kick-off advantage, stabilized its position under Tang Zheng's deliberate control, and showed no fear in facing Barcelona, ​​which had one extra player.

But Real Madrid's offense will eventually result in a shot, and Cristiano Ronaldo at the top did not pose a threat to Valdes' goal.

Barcelona switched from defense to attack. Real Madrid had one less player and did not dare to press in the frontcourt, so they could only retreat to the half court.

Tang Zheng is now the captain of Real Madrid. While completing his defensive tasks, he keeps running and reminding to keep the defensive formation unchanged.

As the game time came to 80 minutes, Barcelona gradually controlled the rhythm of the game, and Real Madrid had to defend passively.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was helpless about this situation: "The referee Marienko's penalty is really questionable. His harsh penalty ruined what should have been a very exciting national derby."

Tang Zheng worked very hard during this period. He made up for the disadvantage of missing one player by running in a wide range.

However, Barcelona's overall strength is not weaker than Real Madrid's, their overall quality is extremely high, and they know how to avoid the most important part of Real Madrid's defensive system.

In the 82nd minute, Messi was attacking with the ball in the right rib. He did not wait for Tang Zheng to approach, directly raised his left foot and made a diagonal long pass to accurately find the feet of Iniesta who was close to the left baseline.

Alba and Neymar moved in to win Iniesta valuable time with the ball. Iniesta, who has experienced the World Cup finals, has a strong heart. He directly led Carvajal, who returned to the right back position. The ball enters the penalty area.

Xavi Alonso knew the personal abilities of his national teammate Iniesta very well, so he covered the wing when Tang Zheng did not return to his position.

Naturally, Iniesta would not wait until the two of them were in place. He used the swing of his upper body and the feint of his feet to prevent Carvajal and Xabi Alonso from taking any shots at will.

In the process of moving, Iniesta had a keen insight into the defensive gap between Carvajal and Xavi Alonso, so he suddenly moved the ball forward with the instep of his foot and accelerated away from the gap between the two.

A second later, Iniesta fell in the penalty area.

Everyone's focus was once again on the referee Marienko, because... he blew the whistle in his mouth and pointed his right index finger at the penalty spot.

"Oh-My-God!! Another penalty!"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray's eyes widened in disbelief.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was stunned and said in surprise: "This... Marienko really dares to call it! The third penalty kick of this game! One for Real Madrid and two for Barcelona!"

Harvey, who fell to the ground, raised his fists excitedly and then hugged his teammates in celebration.

A penalty kick in the 80th minute of the game was tantamount to a decisive victory!

"Uuuuuu——"

The Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium instantly burst into loud boos, directed at the referee Marienko, and many radical fans even uttered obscenities.

If Ramos' behind-the-back foul was obviously excusable, then Iniesta's penalty kick after falling to the ground in the penalty area was somewhat puzzling, so Ancelotti was very angry and went to the fourth official to shout. complain.

Fortunately, assistant coach Zidane is experienced and he pulled him away with the help of Clemente.

There was one less player in the game and a penalty kick was awarded. If the head coach was also sent off for complaining about the referee, then the game would really be over.

At the same time, Tang Zheng, who wears the captain's armband on his left arm, has to safeguard the interests of the team. He is very experienced in this regard, having served as captain when he played for Dortmund in the past.

But be very careful about your attitude. After all, you have a yellow card on your back. If you get another yellow card because of your attitude, you won't have to play the game.

However, Marienko's attitude was the same as his previous judgment, decisive and always adhered to his judgment.

In other words... the penalty cannot be changed.

Tang Zheng was helpless about this.

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the broadcast and said: "The referee Marienko insists on his decision. Real Madrid, with one less player to play, are going to lose at home?"

Messi, who has scored twice in this game, will stand in front of the penalty spot and will face goalkeeper Diego Lopez again.

Faced with boos from the audience, Messi stood in front of the penalty spot very calmly, but goalkeeper Diego Lopez looked a little nervous.

After all, there is now one less player. If Messi scores another penalty kick, Barcelona will reverse 4:3. At that time, whether the team with one less player can equalize the score will have a big question mark.

"Beep~"

When Diego Lopez was in a state of confusion, the referee Marienko blew his whistle.

Messi started to run up, and the Real Madrid fans in the stands tacitly made deafening boos, hoping to affect Messi's performance.

But Messi is a big-scene player with a very good psychological quality. He endured huge pressure and kicked the football in the opposite direction of Diego Lopez's save.

3:4!

Barcelona exceeds the score again!

"What an exciting game! The score went from 0:1 to 2:1. Then to 3:2, and now it's 3:4. Barcelona leads away from home! And Real Madrid has one less player to play. Do they still have a chance to equalize the score? ?”

British Sky commentator Andy Gray explains.
