Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 46 9 points advantage

In the 28th round of the 2014-2015 La Liga season, Barcelona faced Real Madrid at home. At the 75th minute, the score was still 2:1 with Real Madrid leading Barcelona at Camp Nou.

As the game time gets shorter and shorter, Messi, who has high hopes from Barcelona fans, plays more and more impatiently.

In other words, he plays a bit independently.

More often than not, he will choose personal breakthroughs instead of prioritizing passing. It is undeniable that Barcelona's offense needs Messi's activity, but what they need is not a Messi who has lost his mind, but a Messi who is responsible and clear-minded.

Messi was in Barcelona at the beginning of his career, and it was here that he grew from an unknown young player to an international superstar. No one would doubt his love for Barcelona, ​​but in many cases, love will lose its reason.

It is precisely because Messi loves Barcelona so much that he is irrational now. He very much hopes that he can single-handedly help Barcelona equalize the score, and then go back to overtake the score, win the game, and reduce the points with Real Madrid at the top.

Messi did perform very well at the beginning of the game and assisted Mathieu to break the deadlock, but there is still a gap compared to Tang Zheng who contributed one goal and one assist, and Messi is getting less and less as time goes by. I want to express myself, so I have the opposite effect of getting twice the result with half the effort...

The Barcelona fans at Camp Nou were passionate and unaffected by the score because they firmly believed that the existing score was temporary and Barcelona would definitely win the game in the end!

It has to be said that sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Messi's efforts did not bring any changes to Barcelona's offense. On the contrary, the switch from offense to defense created hidden dangers for the team's defense.

Busquets chose to be decisive in order to prevent Tang Zheng from taking the ball further. For this reason, he also received a yellow card.

You must know that Iniesta and Xavi who came on the bench are not good at defending. Once Busquets gets a yellow card, it will be an absolute hidden danger to Barcelona's midfield defense.

Barcelona coach Enrique saw this and was wondering whether he should make substitution adjustments.

And this adjustment is for the middle defense.

The frontcourt attack cannot bring a direct threat to Real Madrid's defense. The midfield defense is a problem that must be solved. Otherwise, it is very likely that the ball will be conceded after no goal is scored in the front. So after a short thought, Enrique decided to change again. people.

In the 78th minute, Barcelona made its second adjustment of the game.

Rakitic replaced Iniesta, whose role was no longer important, to strengthen the middle defensive level while ensuring the offensive organization of the midfield.

A minute later, Real Madrid also made adjustments, but Real Madrid's adjustments were aimed at the offensive end.

James Rodriguez's performance has declined. In order to ensure that the offense is an absolute threat to Barcelona, ​​it is urgent to make adjustments.

Isco replaces James Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez's comprehensive ability is better than that of Isco, but Isco's dribbling ability is outstanding in the Real Madrid team. He can play a role in ensuring that the ball is not lost when picking up the ball in the frontcourt. .

No matter how bad it is, you can still get a set piece.

According to Ancelotti's tactical idea, Isco is expected to be able to hold the football firmly while the team switches from defense to offense, and then wait for the team's second tier, but sometimes there will be unexpected surprises.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Isco took the ball in the middle and broke through Xavi and Rakitic, then decisively distributed the ball and followed up with Tang Zheng, who was involved in the attack.

Faced with Tang Zheng, who had a yellow card on his back, he made a decisive choice!

breakthrough!

As the last defensive barrier in front of the central defender, Busquets completely defeated Tang Zheng in terms of turning and explosiveness, so he had no choice but to foul.

When Busquets realized that this foul might get him his second yellow card of the game, it was already too late to stop his kick. His outstretched left foot happened to kick Tang Zheng's right foot behind him.

Immediately, he blocked the referee Laos from blowing his whistle and took out a yellow card from his trouser pocket...

※※※

The referee Raos did not listen to any explanation from Busquets and directly took out a yellow card and then a red card from his trouser pocket.

"Uuuuuu——"

The Barcelona fans at Nokenaup Stadium were stunned for a moment. When they realized something, they made a deafening boo at the next moment and sent it to the referee Laos.

"At the 83rd minute of the game, Busquets received his second yellow card of the game! Two yellow cards turned into one red!" Central 5 commentator He Wei's pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted: "This pair The rest of the game for Barcelona was an absolute disaster! One less player and one score behind!"

Captain Xavi tried to persuade the referee Laos, but Laos made a firm decision and explained the basis for his penalty.

Tang Zheng has completed the breakthrough, which means that if Busquets hadn't fouled, he would have directly faced Barcelona's entire defense. Moreover, Busquets also made a defensive move worthy of a card after receiving the yellow card...

Listening to referee Laos' explanation, Harvey shook his head.

Very helpless!

Barcelona coach Enrique was very dissatisfied, but he was not dissatisfied with Busquets, but with the referee Raos.

The team is behind, and now one of his players has been sent off. How can he control his temper?

Enrique, who became Barcelona coach last summer, was like a street vixen, complaining loudly to the fourth official.

So, after receiving the reminder from the fourth official, the referee Laos turned around and jogged towards the side of the court.

The on-site director immediately switched the camera, and fans watching the live TV broadcast could see the referee Laos running to Barcelona coach Enrique expressionlessly and directly showing a red card.

"Oh-My-God!!" British Sky commentator Andy Gray's voice suddenly rose an octave and he exclaimed: "The referee Antonio Laos directly pointed out to Barcelona coach Luis Enrique Received a red card! This is an absolute disaster for...Barcelona, ​​who are behind in the score and have one less player to play!"

There are many commentators with the same explanation. No one thought that Barcelona, ​​which had the advantage in the game, would have such an unfavorable situation at home.

First, the score was reversed by Real Madrid, then there was one less player, and now even the head coach was sent to the stands.

"Uuuuuu——"

In response to this, there was only one reaction at the Camp Nou, and that was that more than 90,000 Barcelona fans tacitly let out a huge boo and sent it to the referee Raos.

After a while, Central 5 commentator He Wei changed his voice, shook his head and said: "Busquets's red card is no problem at all. His defensive actions are indeed worthy of his second yellow card in this game, so Enrique is present Bian's irrational remarks are so inappropriate... We often say that the price of growth will be very high, and indeed... it's a bit high..."

Busquets' second yellow card of the game has caused dissatisfaction among Barcelona players. Coupled with Enrique's direct red card and the boos from fans who feared for chaos in the world, some Barcelona players on the field were in a similar mood. He lost control and tried to find an explanation from the referee Laos.

At this time, the presence of experienced players such as Xavi and Pique is particularly important.

Because they know that it is impossible to change the referee's penalty, instead of fighting with the referee, it is better to restart the game early.

When the game restarted, the time came to 85 minutes, leaving less and less time for the Barcelona people...

※※※

No one expected that such a dramatic scene would occur in the second round of El Clasico in the 2014-2015 La Liga season. First, Barcelona at home got a fantastic start, and then Real Madrid scored two goals to take the lead.

At the end of the game, Barcelona, ​​which had the advantage, sent off two consecutive players without equalizing the score.

Core midfielder Busquets and head coach Enrique.

Of course, the game has no way out for Barcelona, ​​even if Busquets and the head coach are punished.

Enrique was sent to the stands, and the game was handed over to Enrique's assistant Unzue to direct the game.

In the 86th minute, Barcelona made the last adjustment of the game, Pedro replaced left back Alba.

Not long after, Real Madrid also made tit-for-tat adjustments.

Jese replaced Benzema and put Cristiano Ronaldo at the forefront.

Although Barcelona was behind in the score and had one less player to play, the suspense of the game still existed, but the fans were extremely dissatisfied with the referee Raos, so there were continuous wild boos above the Nou Camp.

It is worth mentioning that Barcelona, ​​which had one less player to play, did not surrender. Under the leadership of Messi, they launched a wave of offensive.

But it is a pity that the tide of offensive has not made actual progress, because Barcelona has one less player on the field. Busquets' red card and Pedro's appearance have made Messi return to the midfield to organize the offense, and Barcelona's forward line is missing Messi. There is a slight lack of finishing touches and it is difficult to pose a threat to Casillas' goal.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray nodded lightly after Pedro's long-range shot missed the goal post: "It seems that it will be very difficult for Barcelona sitting at the Nou Camp to use the last time to equalize the score..."

Guest commentator Martin Taylor turned to look at his old partner Andy Gray and said meaningfully: "It's not very difficult! In Chinese, it means it's difficult to reach heaven."

"oh?"

Andy Gray raised his eyebrows.

"Don is now fully responsible for defending Messi, Sami Khedira and Luka Modric are very protective of the defense, and the Barcelona backcourt players are very afraid of Real Madrid's quick counterattack and have reservations about participating in the offense. "Martin Taylor laughed: "But if Barcelona's entire army presses forward, the speed of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jesus Rodriguez Ruiz can directly threaten the Barcelona gate..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Zheng predicted in advance and intercepted Harvey's direct pass to Messi, and then used his body to block Messi behind him.

He made a slight adjustment with his feet and sent a through ball to the right in the 30-meter area in the center of his defense.

The football ran against the turf for more than 40 meters. Jese, who came on as a substitute, jumped in at high speed. Since Pique's shovel during the run did not touch the football and did not kick Jese, the Barcelona fans subconsciously rang out over the Nou Camp. The exclamation: "Oh oh oh——"

Jesé was very fast and received the football thirty meters from the baseline. However, he did not stick to the ball. Instead, he sent a direct pass towards the space behind Mascherano.

"Single sword!"

The on-site director immediately switched the camera, and Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, who was taking the ball and running towards the top of Barcelona's penalty area in the broadcast screen, and suddenly shouted loudly.

Cristiano Ronaldo knew that his absolute speed had dropped. When he reached the top of the penalty area, he adjusted his steps while running, and finished the game with a low shot with his right foot before Alves, who was returning to defense at high speed, could reach his position.

In the middle of the attack, goalkeeper Bravo braked suddenly when he saw the ball coming in. His body sank and he rushed to the left side of his body. However, his body sinking speed was half a beat slower than the speed of the football. That is to say, the football He rolled over before Bravo was in place, then rubbed the inner edge of the right goal post and fell into the embrace of the snow-white net...

At the same time, Andy Gray, the British Sky commentator in the on-site commentary box, said in a long voice: "Goooooooooooooooooooal——"

Central 5 commentator He Wei changed his voice and shouted: "The goal is scored! Ronaldo helped Real Madrid expand the score to 3:1 in the 88th minute of the game, with less than two minutes left in regular time. The situation basically means that the victory is sealed! Barcelona, ​​who played one less player and sent off the head coach, are already helpless!"

While the Real Madrid players celebrated the goal, the Barcelona players looked very disappointed. Some had their hands on their hips, and some simply sat on the ground.

The on-site director gave Messi a close-up shot of his face. Although he did not put his hands on his hips or slump on the ground, you could read from his facial expressions a sense of powerlessness that cannot be described in words.

From the first second of the game, Messi tried his best to help Barcelona break the deadlock at the beginning, but God's calculations were not as good as those of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, who combined to overtake the score.

What about our side?

Busquets received two yellows and one red, and the coach was sent directly to the stands.

Now Real Madrid has expanded the score and there is not much game time left.

An equalizer?

That... doesn't exist!

The Camp Nou stadium no longer made dissident voices. They seemed to have accepted this unacceptable reality. Except for the voices of the visiting Real Madrid fans, almost no Barcelona fans were shouting in the entire stadium.

The emotions of the Barcelona fans in the stands seemed to affect the Barcelona players on the field. Barcelona, ​​which had a kick-off advantage, did not launch a wave of offensives like before, but more like to end the game early...

The home team Barcelona played with no fighting spirit, and the visiting team Real Madrid did not take advantage of the two-goal lead, because the two-goal advantage was enough to guarantee three points. There was no need to score another goal. Anyway, winning by N goals would be three points.

Besides, the current Barcelona players are in a very low mood. If they are two goals ahead and want to play to death, it is very likely that the mentality of the Barcelona players will explode.

Therefore, the score did not change until the referee Laos blew the full-time whistle.

1:3

The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

Real Madrid won the game and expanded their points to nine points, which basically means half a hand on the league championship trophy with ten rounds left in the league.
