Chapter 867 Black Card

"Mane - fell! Mane was pushed into the penalty area by Alves, penalty! The referee Eriksson whistled, his gesture was clear, penalty, the referee whistled a penalty .”

"The sudden change of positions between Mane and Bale really caught Barcelona by surprise. If Alves doesn't make a move, Mane will enter the penalty area." Howe continued, "It's already zero to two, and Alves knows it can't be done. Another goal was conceded, so, at the risk of being called a penalty, Alves still chose to foul."

"It's not about taking the risk of calling a penalty, it's definitely going to be called." Zhang Lu said, "The referee was lenient this time, he just called a penalty and didn't give Alves a yellow card... Here, the place of the foul appears to be outside the penalty area."

The voice of the commentator stopped, because the slow-motion playback showed that Alves fouled on the penalty area line, to be precise, he fouled about a few centimeters outside the penalty area, but Mane fell and fell on the ground. In the restricted area.

Well, although it is only a few centimeters outside the penalty area, it is almost in the penalty area, but that is also outside the penalty area, so, according to the rules, this should not be a penalty kick, it should be a free kick outside the penalty area.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the Barcelona players surrounded the referee Eriksson and acted so angry.

Although they are often used to surround referees, this time they were indeed wrongly misjudged.

"Referee, this is a foul outside the penalty area."

"This is not a penalty, I can see it clearly!"

"What the hell are you - woo woo woo." This is a Barcelona player whose mouth was covered by a teammate, preventing him from saying what he was going to say next.

"This should be a foul outside the penalty area." In the noisy scene, a voice said.

The noisy Barcelona players stopped.

They all looked over in surprise.

It was Mane who said it.

The Barcelona players never dreamed that Mane would take the initiative to stand up and confess to the referee that it was a foul outside the penalty area:

Is this Senegalese kid stupid?

Of course, just because they don't understand and can't think of it doesn't mean they don't welcome it.

...

"Listen, listen, referee, that guy said it was a foul outside the penalty area." Alves shouted, pointing at Mane.

"Are you sure it's outside the penalty area?" The referee Eriksson looked at Mane with a serious expression.

"Well, I just feel, my feeling..." Mane scratched his head and said.

"I only believe what my eyes see." Eriksson warned Mane, "Your feelings don't count, what my eyes see is the only criterion for judgment."

Mane stopped talking, scratched his head again, and walked away a little at a loss.

When Mane said to the referee that the foul was outside the penalty area, some of the other Aston Villa players were surprised, some were puzzled, but no one came up to stop Mane:

It's not that he didn't want to stop him, it's that this kid spoke directly, and there was no time for everyone to stop him.

Suarez was furious, this kid, why is he so honest and stupid.

Fortunately, the referee was aware of the details and insisted on the penalty kick.

This scene on the court caused speculation in the commentator's booth.

"What happened? It seems that Mane found the referee Eriksson. He seemed to say that the foul was outside the penalty area." Lineker said, "However, Eriksson did not adopt Mane's opinion. In any case, Mane's behavior is commendable."

"Mane is an honest boy, we want to applaud him, but the referee Eriksson is simply blind." The Catalan commentator also had to boast about Mane, and then pointed at him Referring to the on-duty Swedish referee Eriksson, "The referee still insisted on the penalty kick even though all the parties raised objections. This is not only blind, but also black-hearted."

...

At this time, the live broadcast showed a replay, which was the replay of the home team's coach bench on the sidelines.

"Let's take a look at the scene that happened on the sidelines just now. When Mane took the initiative to find the referee to explain, Fang Jue, the coach of Aston Villa on the sidelines, was stunned for a moment, and then he gave a thumbs up towards the sidelines. Applause with gratified smiles, and applaud the honesty of the disciples.” Lineker said, “Obviously, Fang Jue expressed support for Mane’s actions. This is a touching scene, especially after the first round The Aston Villa manager and his players have acted admirably following the incident where the corner turned into a penalty at Camp Nou."

"This is Fang Jue. We can notice that when he saw Mane's behavior, he was stunned for a moment, and then gave him a thumbs up. Obviously, Mane's behavior surprised Fang Jue. However, he immediately expressed his approval, and he did not blame Mane for the possible loss of this penalty." John Mortenson said, "In the eyes of Mr. Aston Villa coach, his This behavior of a player is far more precious than a penalty kick."

"Mane boy." Fang Jue said with a smile and nodded.

What he actually wanted to say was that this kid was really lucky.

Of course, it is impossible for Mane to know the resolute attitude of the referee.

This is simply unintentional and ruthless brushing up of the great reputation.

The referee insisted on the penalty kick.

Emotional Barcelona captain Carles Puyol was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Milner stood on the penalty spot. He was Aston Villa's first penalty shooter and was hand-picked by Fang Jue.

Referee Eriksson's whistle sounded.

Milner runs up and shoots.

Valdés judged the right direction, but Milner's powerful shot was so fast that he failed to save the football.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

"James Milner, he scored a penalty kick calmly, 3-0, 3-0, an incredible half-time game, Aston Villa led Barcelona with three goals at half-time, which almost sealed the victory in advance." cried an Arab narrator.

His commentator partner said, "As long as there is no wave during the intermission, Aston Villa will definitely advance."

...

Aston Villa players celebrate a goal.

There was silence on Barcelona's side, zero to three, which meant that Barcelona had to score at least two goals to equalize the total score.

It cannot be said that it is impossible to score two goals for Aston Villa at Villa Park, but it is really very difficult.

In the next few minutes of the first half of the game, the Barcelona players were obviously affected by the penalty and the loss of the ball. Their emotions rose and their actions on the field began to increase.

The anger on Aston Villa's side has also been brought up.

Before the end of the first half of the game, Fabregas and Modric had an argument because of a fight. The two pushed each other and many players from both sides intervened.

The referee showed yellow cards to Cesc Fabregas and an emotional Mascherano.

Aston Villa, Modric received a yellow card.

This penalty also caused strong dissatisfaction with Guardiola.

Cesc Fabregas was not calm and received a card. In addition, Xavi also had a yellow card, two midfielders had yellow cards on their backs, and a central defender also had a yellow card. This has a great impact on Barcelona.

However, in terms of rules, Guardiola has nothing to say.

Fabregas and Modric shoved each other and each received a yellow card.

Mascherano also pushed Bell, who immediately fell to the ground smartly, and the yellow card was not wronged.

Of course, this kind of yellow card depends on the referee's personal wishes. If the referee thinks that the pushing action is not big, he can just give a verbal warning, and he doesn't have to draw the card.

Fang Jue was slightly upset, the referee, how could you play a card at Modric?

This is not in line with the positioning of the black card.

Fang Jue shook his head in disappointment. A black card is the 'time limit' for half the game. Seeing that the first half of the game is about to end, the 'effect time' of this black card is up.

A little weak.

...

At this time, an unexpected situation that no one thought of appeared.

The referee suddenly ran towards Busquets, taking cards from his pocket while running.

"Red card! Direct red card! The referee Eriksson directly showed Busquets a red card. What happened?" What is the unusual behavior of Squets?

"Busquets insulted the referee? No, Busquets didn't seem to say anything just now, and he was honest."

Finally, the slow motion playback came.

In the confusion, Busquets secretly snapped the cotton ball in his nostrils to stop the bleeding and threw it at Strowman. Strowman, who had his back turned to him, did not respond to this, and Busquets' air strikes were not very good. Arriving at Strowman, the cotton balls fell silently on the turf.

In fact, if it weren't for the camera playback, almost no one would have noticed this small detail.

However, the referee's eyes were as sensitive as radar, and he even caught a glimpse of this lightning incident.

Immediately blew the whistle, ran over at a sprint speed of 100 meters, and directly showed Busquets a red card, sending off the Barcelona midfielder.

Seeing this scene played back in slow motion, the fans in front of the TV were stunned.

After many fans were surprised, they couldn't help laughing.

Especially the Barcelona fans don't know how to express their emotions and mood at this time. Who the hell would have thought that Busquets would do such a thing in an astonishing and sneaky way?

Who can blame this?

The only thing that can be blamed is that the referee's eyes are so good?

"Busquets didn't do it on purpose. He might just have a cotton ball that made him uncomfortable. Take off the cotton ball and throw it away..." The Catalan commentator said something he couldn't believe for Busquets. Squets defended, and finally, he himself felt that he couldn't say it, "Even if this is an easily misunderstood behavior, is a yellow card enough?"

"The red card is correct," said John Mortensen. "Busquets used objects that should not be on the player and on the pitch, with the intention of attacking an opponent player. This is a standard red card behavior."

Guardiola was going crazy.

Trailing three to zero at halftime, now Busquets has been sent off again.

In addition, Xavi and Fabregas have yellow cards.

Mascherano also has a yellow card.

How should we play in the second half?

...

Inside the home team dressing room at Villa Park.

The atmosphere is great.

Three to zero, one more player will fight in the second half.

Fang Jue was in a pretty good mood, and he was also in a good mood to joke with the players: "Well, I admit, I didn't expect this game to be so easy...Moreover, the process was so unexpected."

He spread his hands, and a burst of laughter erupted in the locker room.

Someone winked at Suarez.

Fang Jue obviously also noticed this scene, he smiled and asked, "Louis, can you tell me about your very unique goal?"

"I predicted that Cesc Fabregas would make a big kick to clear the siege, so I rushed up ahead of time, and sure enough, the football flew in. The first thing I thought of was, a good opportunity—" Suarez shrugged pretendingly, "Everyone I saw it all, a goal!"

Fang Jue hadn't said anything yet, but the players were already laughing.

If it hadn't been for hearing Bell and Suarez's words, if it hadn't been for seeing Suarez's bewildered expression when he heard that he scored a goal, everyone would have really believed his nonsense.

Fang Jue did not mention the penalty created by Mane, let alone Mane's "honest" behavior. This topic is not suitable for public discussion in the locker room. The players obviously understand this, and no one talks about it.

"Okay, let's talk about the second half of the game."

"Busquets was sent off, and Barcelona had to attack because of the score. Therefore, what we can expect in the second half of the game is that our offense and scoring opportunities will be more."

"So, my request is to try our best to find goals in the second half of the game." Fang Jue smiled, "God gave us a chance to slaughter Barcelona wantonly, we must cherish it."

The players burst into laughter.

"Behind the massive pressure is the defense." Fang Jue glanced at Clement and said with a smile, "White!"

Clement stood up, "Boss."

"Defense is up to you. Barcelona seldom go on the side. They will focus on attacking the center. Your task will be heavier." Fang Jue said that Guardiola rarely uses big centers, and Barcelona does not have big center tactics, so , They are more pursuing penetration in the middle. With Busquets sent off, it will be much more difficult for Barcelona to continue playing in the middle.

However, Fang Jue still insists that Guardiola will still not play the main wing in this situation: they don't have a tall center forward!

"Leave it to me!" Clement nodded.

...

After setting up the specific tactics, Fang Jue left the rest of the time to the players, and he walked out of the home team's locker room.

Fang Jue came to the bathroom in the corridor.

Puff puff.

Fang Jue heard this voice.

Who is scurrying?

Or garlic mixed with onion flavor?

In a cubicle inside, Guardiola frowned as he endured the pain in his stomach.

The reason why he came to the toilet in the corridor was because there were no squatting places in the visiting team's locker room.

In the dressing room of the visiting team at Villa Park, the simple shower room is only more than 30 square meters, with more than a dozen shower heads lined up one by one, making it very crowded.

There are only 6 "squatting positions" in the adjacent bathroom.

If you encounter more than six players and want to play the tuba, it will be troublesome.

This is not Aston Villa deliberately harsh on their opponents, this is a very normal situation.

The visiting dressing room at Camp Nou wasn't much better.

For example, the Emirates Stadium is one of the most advanced stadiums in the Premier League. The locker room of the home team is a suite. In addition to the regular locker room, there is also a massage treatment room with 8 physiotherapy beds. Opposite is a huge spa In the room, there is not only a jacuzzi swimming pool, but also a very comfortable shower room.

However, the visiting team dressing room at the Emirates Stadium is even simpler than the visiting team dressing room at Villa Park Stadium. Take squatting positions for example, there are only four, and all of these are not covered in the slightest.

Next to the shower room is the team's locker room, with simple wooden boxes and benches, more like the locker room for middle school students.

Closer to home, Guardiola looked at the time, the second half of the game was about to start, he hurriedly wiped his butt and prepared to leave.

At this time, Guardiola was stunned, he forgot to bring toilet paper.

"Hey, is there anyone?" shouted the Barcelona coach.
