Red Rebels

521 incredible yellow card

“Beep beep~~”

The linesman suddenly raised the flag in his hand and waved it down without any doubt, indicating that Ronaldinho failed to fight offside this time.

The Portuguese's attack just now was very fast. Oleg was completely left behind by him. As long as he received the ball, it was a one-shot. Facing Valdez, Ronaldinho had absolute confidence that he could score a goal. But unexpectedly, the linesman signaled that it was offside.

"Go to hell!" Xiao Luo spit, cursing in his mind and walking back, not to mention how depressed he was.

In recent times, he has been working hard to express himself. Even if it is just a goal, even if it is just an assist, he must prove himself and crush all doubts about himself.

As Beckham said, players must prove their strength on the court!

Ronaldinho walked back, and Kaka, who had just passed the ball, came running over. The Brazilian smiled and encouraged Ronaldinho after exchanging palms with him. Several teammates also followed him. Ronaldinho gestured to encourage the Portuguese.

"Through slow motion, it is not difficult to see that Barcelona's defense line, including Oleg, all moved forward at the moment Kaká passed the ball, forming an offside trap, and they looked well-trained, obviously targeting Arranged by the Red Rebels!”

While talking, the Red Rebels once again found an opportunity in the midfield. Fabregas suddenly passed a sharp through ball, accurately penetrating Barcelona's defense line again, and Ronaldinho followed up from behind again. , but the linesman once again ruled it offside.

Two consecutive offsides within 5 minutes, one can imagine Ronaldinho's frustration.

"Rijkaard's defensive tactics are very clear. The defense line is lined up, moving as a whole, keeping a certain distance from each other, not attacking, keeping an appropriate distance from the midfield, and using offside to disrupt the Red Rebels' penetration. Offensively, from the beginning to now, the Red Rebels have been offside three times. It can be imagined that Rijkaard's tactics are obviously successful!"

“In the midfield, Motta, Edmilson and Iniesta form the back three, and they set up a barrier in front of the defense, plus Eto’o and Hleb who retreat from the wings. , In addition, Ronaldinho also frequently retreated greatly, which allowed Barcelona to always maintain a 6-man midfield configuration without the ball!"

“As early as the Champions League group stage, some people spoke highly of Schaaf’s basketball zone defense tactics deployed on the spot against the Red Rebels. They believed that zone defense against zone pressure would probably be an effective way to crack down on the Red Rebels. Tactics, and Rijkaard corrected the mistakes Yu Schaff made."

"The Red Rebels' midfielder's ability to create opportunities is very good. In the first 10 minutes, they created at least 4 opportunities, but 3 of them were blocked by Barcelona's offside trap. From this point of view, Li Jie Calder optimized Schaff's tactics, and at the same time, Ronaldinho was placed in the center, Eto'o and Hleb were separated on the wings, and Barcelona's counterattack could be fired at any time!"

After failing to seize several opportunities in a row, Barcelona gradually adapted to the Red Rebels' offensive. Although they launched a defensive counterattack in the first stage, judging from the scene, they were not conservative and did not cower behind. It did not shrink the three lines, but focused on concentrating its forces in the midfield.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, quietly watching the fight between players on both sides of the field, his brows furrowed. He had long expected that the game would not go smoothly. For Rijkaard, he could restrain the Red Rebels. attack, he would not be surprised at all.

"It seems that the tactic they have been practicing recently is offside!" Cassel came to Mourinho's side with a wry smile.

While talking, Messi once again fell into Barcelona's offside trap on the right side of the Red Rebels. This made everyone in the Red Rebels feel helpless, with a feeling of powerlessness.

"Cristiano looks a little bad!" Cassel looked at Ronaldinho, who was walking back with his head lowered and cursing.

Mourinho nodded and said nothing, but he knew very well that Ronaldinho was holding back a lot of anger. If he was not allowed to find an outlet, it would probably turn on him.

In recent times, the 21-year-old star has really been under tremendous pressure. He has been desperately trying to prove himself since the beginning, but he has fallen into Barcelona's offside trap time and time again. I'm disappointed and hit again and again. If I continue like this, I will lose control sooner or later!

Mourinho looked at it, came to the sidelines, and called Ronaldinho, who was walking along the way.

"Hey, Cristiano, look up!" Mourinho pulled Ronaldinho aside, leaned close to his ear, and said loudly.

The atmosphere of the fans at the scene was very enthusiastic, and the entire Stade de France turned into a vast ocean. If you don't speak louder, you can't hear clearly even if you put it to your ears.

"You should know that Oleg is very slow. He is not fast enough for you. Don't start so early. Be more patient. Seize an opportunity and kill them directly!" Mourinho clenched his fist hard. .

Ronaldinho stared at the coach, whose eyes revealed trust and confidence. He couldn't help but be infected, nodded heavily, and returned to the court.

After letting Ronaldinho go, Mourinho made a left-leaning gesture towards the players on the field, apparently deciding to focus on attacking Barcelona's right wing, which is the left wing of the Red Rebels.

Rijkaard watched Mourinho making gestures from the side. He knew that the Red Rebels were going to adjust, but he didn't know how it would change, so he could only wait and see.

Ronaldinho returned to the field and quickly found an opportunity, but this time, he was once again ruled offside. But this time, the Portuguese did not curse, but a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned around As he walked back, he secretly made a very good gesture towards Mourinho.

"He's enlightened, Jim!" Mourinho said with a smile.

Although the attack just now was still ruled offside, Ronaldinho was obviously a little slower. Oleg's speed was no match for him, and Ronaldinho also grasped the opportunity. The next step was up to him.

The Red Rebels controlled the situation on the field, but failed to create a strong threat. Barcelona was obsessed with defending in the midfield. This made the scene full of exciting shots, but in fact, neither side had any decent opportunities. Barcelona There hasn't even been a shot so far, and the Red Rebels' three shots have not been converted into goals.

Time passed slowly, and the two sides became very entangled in the midfield.

In the 23rd minute, the Red Rebels once again successfully intercepted the ball in midfield, and Fabregas passed the ball directly to Kaká.

After the Brazilian stopped the ball, he was squeezed out of balance by Edmilson, but he still shoveled the ball towards Drogba. After the Ivorian stopped the ball, he directly passed the ball to the left. Ronaldinho was obviously deliberate this time. Wait a beat and then start again.

It was this slowness that made Barcelona's offside trap useless. Ronaldinho suddenly started and came from behind. After receiving Drogba's pass, he led directly to the penalty area. Oleg was chasing behind him and couldn't keep up.

Facing Valdez directly, Ronaldinho kept his eyes fixed on the Spanish bald head, but his feet were very sensitive in changing fake movements. Suddenly he ducked and deceived Valdez. He wanted to shake the opponent away, but right here In an instant, Valdes suddenly fell to the ground and threw Ronaldinho to the ground with the ball.

Penalty kick!

After Ronaldinho slipped a certain distance, he knelt on the ground and raised his hands to indicate that he had tripped. He believed that this was an undoubted foul and he should definitely get a penalty kick.

"Is it a penalty kick? The slow motion shows that when Valdes was diving for the ball, he made a very obvious move to pull down Ronaldinho with his hand, causing the Portuguese to fall out. This was definitely a penalty inside the penalty area. It’s a foul and a penalty kick should be awarded!”

The Red Rebel fans in the stands went completely crazy. Everyone knows what a huge advantage it is to have a one-goal lead in such a crucial game. It is almost the same as having one less player on the other side, and according to the rules The tradition of the Red Rebels is that as long as the team leads, the possibility of being overturned is almost zero!

Hauge trotted all the way to the penalty area. He made a comforting gesture towards the Red Rebels and Barcelona players who were approaching, indicating that they should calm down. Then he walked over, but not towards Valdez. , but walked towards Xiao Luo.

"Yellow card! Oh my god, is Hauge crazy? He actually showed Ronaldinho a yellow card. Did he think it was a dive in the penalty area?" Even the commentator found it incredible.

Ronaldinho was also completely stunned. He was tripped by Valdez's hand just now. He himself felt that this was an undoubted penalty kick and there was no suspicion of diving. However, the referee actually gave it to He got a yellow card, what does it count?

The Red Rebel players were also excited and swarmed around them, asking the referee to explain the yellow card. Ronaldinho also woke up, jumped up from the ground, and rushed towards the referee. I just wanted to punch him.

In this turbulent situation, several veteran players in the team played a very good role. Drogba, Terry, Evra and others stopped the anxious Ronaldinho and others. Kaká even more He grabbed the extremely angry Xiao Luo from the waist and held him down.

"Calm down, Cristiano, calm down, this is the Champions League final, don't fuck!" Kaka shouted hard into Ronaldinho's ear.

The Barcelona fans in the stands burst into thunderous cheers, while the Red Rebel fans gave them overwhelming boos. The two momentums were mixed together, turning the Stade de France into a hodgepodge.

As the captain on the field, Terry wanted to go up and listen to Hauge's explanation, but the Norwegian was obviously different from the Premier League referees and did not give him any explanation at all, not even a chance to listen to his explanation and justification. , and stepped back directly. Not to mention how angry that posture was.

"Offside, diving, yellow cards, my God, besides causing trouble for us, what else will you do? Are you so blind that you can't see that it's a foul in the penalty area?" Mourinho was present. while yelling at the linesman.

This poor little linesman was officiating in the Champions League final for the first time. He personally experienced Mourinho’s roar, which had been rumored for a long time in the refereeing circles. I didn't pay attention to anything I said.

"This is indeed a misjudgment. There is no doubt that the Red Rebels should have received a penalty kick. According to the situation at the time, the yellow card should have been given to Valdez and the penalty kick should have been given to the Red Rebels, but Hauge obviously lacked experience. He lacked the decision to award a penalty kick in just 23 minutes in such an important game."

"Before the game, many media had questioned Hauge's qualifications. They believed that in such an important game, it was a mistake to appoint a referee who had never had any experience in big scenes. We can understand that the decision of the referee committee is based on training considerations, but there have been many disputes over Hauge's previous penalties. Should we reconsider it from time to time?"

"Of course, there are also many conspirators who believe that UEFA is changing its direction to prevent the Red Rebels from defending their title. They don't want the Champions League to completely turn into an oligarchy game, so they don't want to see any team defend their title. , but we have all seen that the Red Rebels are too strong, even if they are not at their best, they still suppress Barcelona and cannot counterattack!"

"The Red Rebels have enough reasons to appeal for this yellow card and this deserved penalty kick, but at this time, the most important thing for the players on the field is to remain calm enough. After all, the game has just begun, especially In such a crucial final, any irrational behavior may lead to the team's defeat!"

Terry, Drogba and others called their teammates to come to their own half, and even Cech came closer and formed a group.

"Forget the penalty kick just now, brothers, this is a final. Even though we encountered a very, very bad referee, we have to continue to play and we have to win the game!"

"John is right, it's just a penalty, forget it. If we can create one, we can definitely create a second, or even a third, and we can definitely kill Barcelona!" Kaka clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. explain.

Sure enough, after the restart, the Red Rebels quickly found another chance.

From the opening to the present, Barcelona has been in a passive defensive situation. After being raided by Ronaldinho once, Rijkaard asked the players to pay more attention to the defense on the left, but the Red Rebels began to play more on the right. Let Messi take on more responsibilities, and the Argentine genius has lived up to Mourinho's expectations.

In the 31st minute, Messi made a retracement in the middle and ran back to the penalty area. Drogba leaned on Puyol at the front of the penalty area and pushed directly into the penalty area. Messi followed up and beat Bale. Before Des struck, he poked the ball into the net.

After scoring the goal, the Argentine teenager jumped up from the ground and ran all the way excitedly. He kept shouting and roaring, venting his excitement after scoring the goal. Even Ronaldinho also started running, even though the ball was not his. But he was equally happy.

But just when the Red Rebels were preparing to celebrate, the whistle came late!
